Which kind of HDMI-cable do I have to use to connect the mini to my HD-TV
After I connected the mini with an ordinary HDMI-cable to my tv, I only see the notes to start the mighty an the keybord, this Screen disappears after few seconds. I don't really got no startscreen. Do I have to use special HDMI-cables to connect it to my tv?
Not really. The cheap cables usually work just as good as the most expensive brands. Wire is wire, no matter what anyone else tells you. Sure, the most expensive cables are fancier; but they're going to be hidden from sight when you install them behind the equipment.
If you're having problems seeing your Mini on your big screen, there's the possability that you have a bad cable. Swap it with a known good cable and see what happens.
BTW: I picked up a package of three 6 foot HDMI cables at the local Big Lots for under $20; and my Mini looks great on my big screen.

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the IPad to the IPhone and not the other way around.
The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

I have a 1TB WD external hard disk, which suddenly cannot be detected in my system. When i connect the hardisk to the macbook, the disk appears and immediately disconnects with the message "Disk not properly ejected". Any advice ?
verify on another Mac if the same
WD is having issues with mavericks as you can see on the WD forum, did you install any WD software (never do that) when you connected the drive for the first time?
possible issue is a dead SATA bridge card or the new WD firmware w/ Mavericks.
SATA card issue
Your dead external hard drive is likely fine! Great hope for your 'faulty' external HD

I have a mid 2011 27 inch iMac and a late 2012 mac mini. I am using the 27 inch iMac as the display for the mac mini with a thunderbolt cable. I was trying to use bootcamp on the mini but after I started downloading windows I can't get it to display on the iMac.
Hi there,
The simplest way is to drag it across wirelessly using the 'Airdrop' application once both computers are near one another. 'Airdrop' can be found near the top, on the left hand side menu, within 'Finder'.

what cable do i need to use to connect my grandson's old style external isight webcam to his 2014 Mac mini in order for him to be able to FaceTime me
You need either a FireWire 800 to FW 400 cable or a FR 800 (male)/FW(female) adopter.
However. it the Mini (note that you still have the late 2012 Mini, Apple has not updated the Mini since then) has Mavericks it may not work satisfactorily. I tried it on my 2102 and I get abount 1 frame every 20 seconds. Another uses posted same problem.
However, it it work fine on my late 2009 Mini with Mavericks -
ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?
I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

The App Store want allow me to download new apps because I have not set up security questions.But I share an iTunes account with my friend. So if I set up the questions will my friend have to use and answer the same thing?
They will have to be answered the first time when purchasing from a new computer or device.

I created a new ID for my Iphone, because the old ID was an email address I no longer have. Also, the phone wouldn't recognize the password I have always used. Now the problem is when I try to update my apps, it automatically wants to use the old ID. I've set the new ID for the phone, but it defaults to the old one when asking for a password to update apps.
That's because all apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, & can only be updated using that ID.
To use your new ID with these apps, you'll have to delete them, then repurchase. Or, contact iTunes support, explain the situation, & ask that they add these apps to the download queue of your new ID. -
How is this possible? I have no photos and have never used iphoto and the program is up to date. I try to import and drop my pictues into iphoto but nothing happens or I get above statement. Help please!
Then it's a bogus message and indicates that the default library is damaged.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and use that one.

Why do I keep getting Kernal Panic warnings to restart my new iMac that is running Lion? This is happening as often as 2 times a week. Never happened with any of my other Apples or Macs and I have been using them since the 1980s.

None of my files will upload to the cloud even though I have not used any of the 5 GB storage.
None of my files will upload to the cloud even though I have not used any of the 5 GB storage. I checked the boxes, but nothing uploads. What am I doing wrong?

OK. I thought my Mac contacts, documents, etc would be stored since I clicked on those boxes. Maybe I need to go back to Carbonite.
Carbonite, Dropbox, Sugar Sync, there are many options. -
i have Hp pavillion dv6-6121tx laptop and i want it to connect with my TV through HDMI cable.Which type of cable should i buy 1.3B or 1.4B or they just don't matter?please tell me
Please see this Wikipedia article entitled "HDMI" for a comparision of the different revision numbers. For most applications, it doesn't matter if you use v1.3b or 1.4b.... But getting the newest revision gives you the flexibility to use the latest and greatest if you choose to.
Please send KUDOs

Please give me the name of the connector for the laptop. Is it a "display port"?
Note that you'll find two alternatives: one that has a TB plug at one end and a little box with a female HDMI jack at the other or a cable that has male TB and HDMI plugs at both ends. First one gives you the flexibility of using a standard HDMI cable of whatever length you need, at an extra cost. Second simplifies things and eliminates one connection (and possible point of failure), but may limit how far away you can place the computer from the display.

I have an ipod classic 160 GB and I also have the dock to connect it to my TV with composite cables. I would like to hook it up but using component av cables. Does Apple sell a component connection to hook up my Ipod to my TV?
