Upgraded from a mini to 5.5gen
Hi,
I have searched the archives but I have not found a definite answer. I need to remove the music from my old mini because I am selling it. I also want to save my itunes library in order to load all of music onto my new ipod. I also would like itunes not to recognize the old mini.
Do I just hook up the new one?
Do I restore to factory settings on the mini by pressing the buttons?
Thanks in advance,
Theresa
Yes it will, just connect it and follow the onscreen instructions to register and name your new iPod. It will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it automatically update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage it manually.

Upgrading from 1gen mini to 30G video...
Hi all,
I'm currently awaiting the arrival of my new 30G video which will replace my old faithful mini. My husband is going to take the mini, so how do we do this painlessly?
I would like to just disassociate the mini from my iTunes library somehow and associate the new video with that library. Then have my husband associate the mini with his old iTunes library left dormant from when he lost his old 3rd gen iPod about a year ago. Is this possible?
Thanks!This is very possible... Well, it is very simple. Just plug it in. iPods mirrors the computer it is attaches to. So when you plug in your new iPod, the new iPod is going to sync all your musics into it. When your husband plugs your old iPod in his computer, iTunes is going to ask if he wants to change the your musics to his musics, and all he have to do is click yes.

Upgrade from 3gs to 4s ? Sim card
Anyone know how Apple deals with upgrading from the mini SIM in the 3GS to the micro SIM in 4 and 4S?
If I have a 3GS with it's old mini-SIM in it and pre-order a 4S from Apple for home delivery, will the new phone have a new micro SIM in it when it comes? Will I need to deal directly with AT&T to link the new SIM to my old account/line, or does the activation process automatically do that? Or might the 4S come SIMless, leading me to take the old SIM and cut it down to Micro-SIM size? Anyone with experience from the 3GS to 4 upgrade have any light on the subject?
Thanks.As always - you should read the boards before posting:
From other threads:
"The ATT carrier locked iPhone ships with a SIM card pre-installed.
When activating the new iPhone with ATT, your existing iPhone and SIM card will be deactivated at that time." -
I have a question. When I upgrade from the mini to the nano, I have to install the new itunes, right? But do I want to completely uninstall the earlier itunes? I fear that I'll lose all of my music in the process.
You don't need to install iTunes if you already have it, just connect the Nano.

Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

Hi gang,
I am in a very frustrating position as I try to upgrade my Mac Mini (mid 2010) from OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to whatever the latest version of Mountain lion is. The reason I am doing this is because the original hard drive died and the Mini sat there for 6 months before we decided to get a new hard drive and revive it.
I installed a new 500GB 7200rpm SATA drive and the problems began.
First I couldn't get Mountain Lion installed as a fresh OS installation (using both a USB drive and a DVD to no avail). It just wouldn't go. The grey Apple logo/loading screen would come up and just sit there doing nothing while the loading icon spun.
I then tried installing Snow Leopard (the OS that the Mini came with when it was new). After some messing around, that got done.
However, a peculiar thing happens when the Mini boots. Everything loads up into Snow Leopard, but although the mouse curser moves, I cannot click on anything or use the keyboard for 4-5 minutes. Then it just work (I am typing this on the Mini). This happens every time.
Now, when I updated to 10.6.8, I was able to load up the App Store and download the Mountain Lion install app. I clicked it and went through the initial copying of files and then the restart, but after the reboot, the grey loading screen would not progress. I rebooted again and held down the Option key to check out the available boot volumes, and all I saw was the installation DVD I had in there for Snow Leopard and a hard disk volume called "Mac OS X Installer."
So I booted into the Snow Leopard install DVD and opened Disk Utility to check things out. I did a verify disk and a permissions repair. Interestingly, the first repair I did gave me the message that the ACL was missing from Volumes and that is was fixed. I read something somewhere which talked about the Access Control List and mouse/keyboard issues. But who knows. When I boot back into the Mini as normal I am returned to the fully-functioning Snow Leopard installation, like nothing happened.
And now here is the kicker: it appears that the Firewire bus is hooped. In the Profiler, when I view the FireWire settings I get the message, "Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices." So I am pretty sure the one thing I cannot do is boot the Mini into target disk mode attached to my Mac Pro and installed Mountain Lion that way.
So to recap: I can't finish the Mountain Lion installation because the install won't continue after rebooting because there is something wrong with the underlying base system, which might be hardware (FW bus) related. I think.
Some things I have tried:
Resetting the SMC
Resetting the PRAM
Reparing permissions
Booting into Safe Mode (doesn't work)
Booting into Verbose Mode to observe what happens (I get the "Can't load the Bootcache.playlist" error, which I suspect is related to the screwed up FW bus)
Trying to boot using Internet Recovery (doesn't work)
Booting into Single User Mode and attempting the "fsck -y" etc. sequence to try and repair the ACL that way
So I am stuck.
I guess the question is, should I get an external HD enclosure and install Mountain Lion onto the hard drive that way and hope it works when I put it back into the Mini?
Any other ideas? I have spent a couple days ******* around with this is am running out of ideas...
Any advice would be appreciated!Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar? -
How can I upgrade from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 on my 2012 mac mini? (2.3 GHz, 4 GB, 500 GB SATA disk) I don't want OSX Yosemite.
If your Mini shipped with OS X 10.7 Lion, then it was considered a 2011 build model, or before.
The Mini 2012 model, is considered a Late 2012, & the last one where RAM could be upgraded.
And it shipped with Mountain Lion 10.8, which is a fairly OK system if one had older software.
(However mine shipped in Dec 2014, with Mavericks 10.9.0, and was built in January 2014.)
There were a few different build versions of Late 2012 Mac Mini, the i5 or i7 processor,
in dual-core or quad-core, and some CTO or built-to-order versions with other specs.
You can buy Mountain Lion from online Apple Store, & use a download code emailed to you to
get the Mt. Lion 10.8 from Apple Servers; this would be about it, since Mavericks isn't available.
So hopefully that is an option you can exercise; in addition the computer may prefer more RAM.
Good luck & happy computing! -
I am exhausted just getting to the point of being allowed to ask my question. I recently decided to upgrade from an old PowerBook G4 that we have used for years, and am using now. I bought a new Mac Mini and a reconditioned Apple A1267 Monitor that was working beautifully when hooked to a slightly newer PowerBook in the store. Both the Mini and the monitor are plugged in, and attached to each other but I feel light a dolt. I cannot even figure out how to turn them on or even get a power light to come on. Can someone help me?
How is the Mini coonected to the momitor?
Does the power button n the mini not work? -
hi guys. gota 2010 mac mini but want to upgrade so i can stream from mac mini to apple tv. but some herd some bad reviews about os x moutain lion. any of it true?
Mountain Lion is the best OS yet, IMHO.

Very slow encoding after upgrade from 5.03 to 5.5 with MXO2 mini
Hi all.
After upgrading from CS5.03 to 5.5 my encoding now takes 5 times as long. A 2 minute HD Video file would take 2 minutes, and still does on the PC I haven't upgraded (identical almost) but now with CS5.5 it takes almost 11 minutes.
Some explanation....
I create HD MJPEG files on a PC with Blackmagic Decklink.
I transfer these files to an HPz800 which used to run CS5.03 with Matrox Utils 5.1.1.37 and an MXO2 Mini with Max. (Nvidia Quadro fx4800 and 12GB of RAM)
On a Blackmagic timeline HD 1080i MJPEG with filters of Auto Color, Fast Color Corrector and Gamma correction a 2 minute timeline would encode in 2 minutes give or take a couple of seconds.
Now with CS5.5 and Mtx 5.5 an identical file takes 11 minutes to encode to Microsoft avi - Matrox 1920 x 1080i - 25fps.
If I remove the filters (which I need to be able to use) it will come down to 2 minutes as it used to be.....so it seems to be the filters are now slowing things down when they never used to. I have never rendered before exporting. Ever. So this time I tried rendering first and it brought the 11 minutes down to 7 minutes but when taking into account the 4 minutes rendering time I am no better off.
I have updated CS5.5 to CS 5.5.1 and MTX Utils to 5.5 and then 5.5.1 and it makes no difference. Still 11 minutes to decode 2 minutes with three filters, which is exactly what I have always been doing but now it doesn't work....
Can anybody help? or make a suggestion as to why using filters in 5.5 now multiplies the encode time by 5 when it never used to. Everything else bar Matrox Utils on this machine is as it was before the upgrade to 5.5 and as I say my older machine is still 5.03 it can do it all in 2 minutes even with the filters intact.
So have I really spent a small fortune upgrading to make my output 5 times slower. Not happy......To go further, every single encode that I have done is slower than it was before with CS5.01 or 5.03.
This is odd because going from Blackmagic to any other codec doesn't necessarily need the Matrox box or Matrox utils
Blackmagic HD or SD to
Matrox HD
QT HD MP4
QT SD DV25
DV AVI SD
Mpeg2 - DVD
Every single encode is slow by 2x to 6x.
Why should Blackmagic HD to QT MOV MP4 take twice as long as it used to...... having said that The speeds I am seeing now are what it was like before I attached the box in the first place, whether a Matrox codec was involved or not.... It is acting like a blocked funnel. when it used to be a lovely wide and clear funnel.
Anyway Matrox have reproduced the problem and are investigating, so hopefully there will be an answer soon.... -
Can I transfer files from a Mini running 10.4.11 to a new Mini running Lion? States I need to upgrade Migration Assistant, but I see no viable path I can take. OPtions to get photos over to new Mini?
Thanks Mende1; I know that PPC apps won't function on Intel machines but I can migrate the Universal apps, right? There is such a large gap between Tiger and Mountain Lion - can I still migrate files directly from one to the other taking the Universal apps as well? Sorry, I'm not very computer savvy!

Mac mini duo core. I want to join the iCloud as I have MobileMe . However my mac mini has a dou core and not a 2 duo core I cannot by the lion app to install. Is there anyway I can upgrade my mac mini to 2 duo core? Or get the iCloud installed any other way?
You must have Lion to use iCloud, although you can still access iCloud.com for the web services. Your email is unaffected.

Upgrading from Panther to Tiger on Mac Mini 1.42 G4
Hi Everyone,
Would it be a simple install to upgrade a Mac Mini 1.42 G4 that I bought used and haven't yet turned on from 10.3 Panther (pre-installed by previous owner; also have discs) to OS X Tiger 10.4.6 that I bought new from retail store?
I don't have anything on this mini to back up--no iTunes, no address book, plug-ins, 3rd party software, iPhoto--nothing. Can I just do a simple install?
1.5 GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Mac Mini 1.42 G4 (10.3.9)Although you certainly can do an upgrade install without erasing the hard drive, but if you do you should follow this procedure:
1. Boot from the Tiger DVD.
2. After selecting your language select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu of the installer.
3. Select your startup volume from the left side list, then click on the First Aid tab in the DU main window.
4. Click on the Repair Disk button. If any errors are reported as fixed re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. Then click on the Repair Permissions button and wait for permissions to be repaired.
5. Quit DU and return to the installer.
6. Proceed with the installation. When you get to the screen where you select the target disk select the disk and click on the Options button.
7. Select the Upgrade option and click on the OK button.
8. Continue with the installation.
Because you have nothing to preserve on the drive I would recommend that you do an Erase and Install instead of the Upgrade install. There are some benefits to be had by not upgrading because some components of Tiger will not be installed during an Upgrade that are installed during a Clean Install. -
Should I upgrade my iPad mini from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.1.1? Thanks in advance
Should I upgrade my iPad mini from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7.1.1? Thanks in advance
No, it's not true. If someone were to buy it from you then it would have to be completely restored as new at which time only the then current version of iOS can be installed. Having an older version on it now makes it worth no more than if it had 7.1.1 installed.
When you sell or give it away the new user cannot use anything on the device that is registered to your Apple ID. That's everything. You will need to turn off Find My Phone, remove the phone from your @icloud.com Find My Phone, then erase it completely. Unless you do that the device is useless to another owner. Erasing it will result in having the new iOS version installed.

Intents wrong when exporting from or importing to Pages for iPad
Anytime I create a document on the iPad and export it for e-mail the indents are messed up when I open them with Pages on the Mac. The same thing happens in reverse direction too. Does anyone have a solution for this or is this a known issue?
