I'm thinking that you have a > Mac mini (Mid 2011) - Technical Specifications because the 2010 model's only have Core 2 Duo processors and the 2011 had the first i5 processor.
2 GB of RAM is the minimum requirement for Mountain Lion, but it's hardly enough to really enjoy doing anything else.
see > Memory and Free Installation Guides for Apple Mac Mini
Plus I don't have any problems running Mountain Lion and a load of App's on my 2010 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM.

Can I get a new ipad air
You have AppleCare for a year included with your purchase, so if it's faulty, Apple will address it,
You could have returned it within 14 days of purchase.

Help only had verzion for a few days and very frustrated. About to return
So we have been with sprint for over 9 years. And have been happy with their service... However our friend has verzion and was using it @ our house and we noticed how much faster it was so we decided to switch....... Black Friday we wanted a deal of course. We wanted the iPhone 5s, walmarts had the best deal we waited and then they told us they had a problem with activation between them and verzion....... So they put us on the "list" well they didn't call us back.... So Saturday we went out looking again. Target had a similar deal although it was still more expensive for the phones. We signed up and got 2 iPhones . We also wanted a hotspot they said they didn't have them and had to wait. Although there was a banner in target sayin they had them.... Again we were put on the list..... No call ..... So now we go to get our hotspot and now they are telling us they won't honor the waived activation.... I called verzion and spoke with a rep about wanting to purchase the hotspot and not being able to. They said any promotions such as the waived activation would be noted .. Since there was availability problems..... Now I called verzion and they say there is no note on our account... Also I am a authorized user on the account. Which they have verified again each time I call they act like I speak a foreign language..... And have to verify I am on the account again..... So they can't keep that straight so I see how they don't see our promotion "note in our account........ "
Help someone at verzion has to be able to see the note or see that we did get our phones on the waived activation. And waive the activation on the hot spot like we were promised..... Come on why make some one mad over something like this within the return period?
Help some with some common sense p,ease help a new customer
Ps thank god we did not port over our sprint numbers yet, Help
The rep I talked to earlier simply said they could not help me and some one would call me which hasn't happened..... Big surprise...
Verzion please respond to me via this message or text us pleaseWe are post pay, normal contract customers. Right now we have our sprint phones still..... It was a just in case verzion didn't work well....
I mean a 2 year contract with 2 iPhones and a hot spot with 10 gig is what $200+ for 24 months is close to $5k ......
So they won't keep a promise to waive a activation fee of $35 on a out of stock item.....
That just doest make any sense to me...
Oh yeah btw the card is currently on sale @ walmart for $a dollar... Through verzion they are $20... That is the reason we didn't get it through verzion directly in the first place....... Again that is the reason I called verzion to make sure they would honor the waived activation fee......
I feel I already paid a extra $50 due to verzion and their in-ability to keep their computers up and running with the biggest retailer on the biggest retail day....
I sure don't want to pay another $35 because if their in ability......
How much do I have tp pay if we return them.... Target doesn't charge a restocking fee that I am aware of... But I have a weeks with of limited usage so do they pro rate the month based onnthe days you had it?
Or would some one from verzion. Please help us and keep verzion promise to waive the activation fee on our device we want to purchase.... -
I am running InDesign CC. Every time I try to redefine a paragraph style, it crashes. It's just start doing it and I have had CC for a few months. Any suggestions? Thank you
Do you mean Toolkit or TypeKit, which is part of CC? See Remove minor corruption by exporting. If that doesn't work, try exporting the text to ID Tagged Text and place in a new file, and if that also fails, try removing the fonts.

I have owned an ipad for a few months and taken photos without synching to Photstream. Having just done this I now see photos are removed from iCloud after 30 days. Are these recoverable or lost for good?
Please see the following:
iCloud- Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud- Photo Stream limits
The 30 day limit, as I understand it, prevails after you reach one of the prevailing number limits. I've yet to reach one of those limits over the past few years and my PhotoStream is still intact.
However, it's a good idea to move your photos into iPhoto which is your on-disk library. And, this library can be backed up locally, thus, preserving your photos. -

Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box that came with it but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different mains plug sockets around the house with no joy, I have tried different USB mains plugs but again no joy, I tried using my new iPad cable into the USB port of my MacBook Pro laptop but still no joy, then, I tried using my old iPod classic cable into my MacBook Pro and that worked, so I have a way of charging my new iPad3 but its not practical as i have to take my MacBook Pro everywhere if I want to charge it which kind of defeats the object of having an iPad, has anybody experienced anything similar and how was it fixed? can anybody help me please...
Grumpy Gator,
Please note it did say at the store's discretion, but people have actually been able to return it to the on-line store. (I only saw a couple who tried.)
And given the outcry, I would think Apple might have other Apple stores join in. Just in case, though, if you can, you might bring it in today.
If it's an ARS, my guess is they can stick to their 14 day return. Apple cannot force them to do it. SO if it's not bought directly from Apple, and it's past the 14 day deal, I'd bring it in to the store today if you have one. When I gave people the cnet.com site, I gave it so people could read it and know only Apple had made the decision for Apple. And I suggested to some that an Apple reseller would probably stick with their own return policy.
Because Arnie had just bought his, he should be able to return it to Apple or an ARS because an ARS has to have some kind of full refund or at least return for credit within 7 or 14 days of purchase.
Hope this helps. -
How much drive space it utilized straight out of the box of a 15" MB Pro?
I'm looking to get a MB Pro w/ Retina, but struggling with paying $500 to go from 256GB of on board storage to 512GB. I realize its specially designed for the system and all that, but it still seems a bit bloated as far as price. So in order to make a more informed decision I was wondering how much of the 256GB storage is utilized by the base image from Apple, like I open the box turn it on and check the drive properties how much free space is left before I make any changes/additions to the system? I saw that OS X Mountain Lion only requires 8GB of storage space and coming from the Windows world I'm not sure how accurate that is. All I need on board storage for is my software apps (Lightroom, PS Elements) and a bit of temporary storage for photos until I can transfer them to the NAS at home. I would need about 100-150GB of available storage typically to be safe for a trip/session.
So any insight to exactly how much disk (I know its not a disk) is left available straight out of the box would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I'm in Afghanistan right now otherwise I'd just go to the Apple Store and check for myself. Looking forward to coming over to the Apple world, but hoping I can do it for $500 less.Aw, man, you'd love some of the stuff you can do with the CS6 suites! I use Lightroom as well, but also PS, InDesign, Illustrator, and I'm just beginning to learn Dreamweaver and Fireworks. I love layers in PS - allows for so much control and creativity!
You'll have plenty of room - glad to see that you've already thought ahead in re storage and backup. I just think that the price Apple charges for SSD is absurd. 256GB will be something that you can live with for a long, long time.
Good luck with your new Mac,

HP Pavillion Does NOT work Straight Out of the Box after Purchase
My daughter bought a new HP Pavillion from Office Depot before starting computer classes at the university. The first one would not work at all and after the tech folks tried all that they could and it would not work, the Office Depot staff exchanged it for another one. Straight out of the box, it does not work. It crashes constantly. My daughter has spent HOURS that she needs for assignments on the phone with HP tech support. Here is where she stands with the situation now: She bought the extended warranty, but apparently that does not cover computers that don't work. The HP warranty....does not apparently assure that you get a working computer either, even when it's just days old and won't function. So....after spending from about 1p to nearly 6p today on the phone with HP tech support, she is not assured that it will work.
They are calling back on Friday to see.
So if it is NOT working, are we just out of luck with a piece of junk that does not function except as a word processor? That won't connect to the internet without crashing? We have been given no options or assurances.
( Post edited by Moderator) When you buy a computer, it should work when it's brand new. If you have a warranty, does that mean that HP stands behind their product and refund the consumer's money when it doesn't? The new HP Envy printer did not work, due to a defective ink cartridge enclosed with it. Does any HP product work at all?@Mariellynne
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post ( serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it up fully before you can use it. I do not want to damage the laptop by misusing the battery.
Attach the charger and start charging the battery to 100%. The good news is that after you have connected the charger, you may start using the MBP as well.

My iPod touch 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 or 3 months. Please help!!!
Then it should still be under warranty, so make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.
If that's not a possibility and you want to troubleshoot, what do you mean by 'just stopped working'? What were you doing? Maybe some more info could help with troubleshooting.
