Mac Mini :: Switch Apps From One Apple ID To Another?
Mar 9, 2012
I have been having some difficulties with my new Mac Mini. I have had the computer since Oct. 2011, but I just recently got it hooked up to the internet. I have been trying to update some of my other Apple devices and I have encountered some difficulties doing so. Customer service has been working with me to resolve that problem, but I think they might have helped to create another. I have an Apple iD as does my wife, but my iD is the primary one one the Mac Mini. Her phone was the device that caused all of the original problems not wanting to update. Tech support has me to reinstall the operating system and when it did it took her Apple iD as the primary iD. I need to know how to switch or reset the computer, because now the installed apps GarageBand, iMovie, and iPhoto are listed under her iD and they won't allow me to update them unless I use her iD.Â

I just got an iMac running 10.6.1 And I still have a Mac Mini running 10.4.11, which allows me to access several apps running under Classic. I'd like to still access them on the glossy new monitor, with the wireless Magic Mouse. Since the iMac has no monitor input port, how do I hook up a KVM switch? Which brand do you recommend?

I'm looking at popping a SSD into my 2010 Mac Pro but have a couple of questions/concerns before I plunge into purchasing it.
Current Drives Setup:
Bay 1: 1TB HD (OS X)
Bay 2: 70GB Raptor (Windows)
Bay 3: 2TB HD (Backup)
Bay 4: (empty)
I'm looking at grabbing a OCZ Vertex 2 2.5" 60GB (on sale). I don't need too large of a drive as I don't have a plethora of apps, so I think the 60GB will do.
My question - how do I transfer just the Apps and OS from the current boot drive (1TB) to the SSD? Can I run Migration Assistant to another internal drive?
Do I need a special bracket for the Mac Pro to convert the 2.5" SSD to 3.5" or will any bracket do the job?

I had FCP open and I was 'log and transferring' a bunch of footage from P2 cards to my RAID. While that was busy working I was surfing the web in FF and listening to tunes via itunes. I had itunes mini player open. I wanted to see more info about a song and tried hitting the green button to maximize. Nothing happened. So I try command+tab but I get a 'bonk' sound and I don't switch apps. I though it was odd that even when I clicked on itunes the menu bar still said firefox.
Next I did the good 'ol command+option+esc to see if itunes was 'not responding'. this is what I see: Odd... no apps appear here even though I had 3 open not including Finder. So I go to my dock and click on finder and I get this dialog box:
So I tried going up to the Apple icon and chose shutdown. I clicked OK and waited and the machine never shut down. I had to to a hard shutdown. Upon restarting all is right with the world again. It's just weird that I have never run into anything like this in all this time and this new machine as been working perfectly since the day I got it.

When I moved from Windows to MacOS, I tried to find MacOS applications to replace the ones I used on Windows (just like everybody). The more I tried, the more I found out that I should go for apps designed specifically for the MacOS, as they were more streamlined than the ones made for Windows and then converted to the MacOS.
Anyway, I found out some truly useful MacOS apps and which have great functionality. Some of these apps have features which are not shared by any Windows apps (or at least it seems to me).
If I were to go back to Windows (just to make it clear: I'm not), would I be able to replace the MacOS apps I use with Windows apps with the same or similar functionality? I'd like to make this a kind of game in order to find out which MacOS apps are non-replaceable killer apps.r own apps to the list.

I just bought a Mac Mini and all technical help is closed right now. I am very frustrated as the one I bought yesterday had no display output. The system starts and gets to a screen that has what looks to be a switch that needs to be changed. I have looked at the entire box and can not see a switch that needs to be changed. I have taken a picture and have put it on here. I have googled it and can not find anything. My mouse and keyboard are both new wireless so I have nothing I can even use there. I am enclosing a picture of the screen. I also only have power and monitor plugged in.

So, back in the day (last week actually) I always had my iTunes in "mini player mode" on the right hand side on the bottom of my screen, just above the trash bin. When I needed to select a song or a different playlist, I would click the green button, apply my settings, and click the green button again and go back on about my business. However, with iTunes 9, you have to hold the option key to switch to the mini player. I am severly bothered by this, is there any way to hack iTunes with the terminal fix this? I liked it the old way. Who's with me? Also, when iTunes is not the active window, and you switch to mini, the active screen is automatically hidden (like when you push Cmd+H)

I didn't notice a thread like this and since it seemed like this was one of the only threads that has not popped up yet, i figured i would start one. I have a old Powerbook G4 that I love, but it is dying and I need a replacement. This thread is for the people that, out of necessity and/or practicality, might just make the switch from Apple to another vendor because:1. Why spend money on old technology when there are so many companies offering laptops with way better specs for the same if not a cheaper pricetag.2. There is no set date as to when this update will come out, speculation yes, but nothing is locked in. If you are one of these people, which computers are you considering? This is not a Apple hating thread, it is just a thread to discuss alternatives to people that cannot wait any longer.

I have a dozen of macs connected to a mac mini server. This one is programmed to automatically switch on at 8:00 am and switch off at 8:00 pm. However, if a user is still connected at time of switchng off (8:00 pm) it cannot switch off automatically and a window appears saying another user is still connected, do you still wish to disconnect. If administrator is no more there to click yes, server does not switch off and still runs all night long. On former versions (10.4 or 10.5 ?) it worked the other way, ie other users were informed that server would be disconnected in the next one minute and that they had to save their work.Â
Is there a solution to come back to a similar way of proceeding?

Hoping someone can help - my imac (approx 15-18 months old , intel) won't start.
Last night on shutting down DPP (canon Digital image software) was hanging and system asked me if I wanted to force quit it...sadly I had switched off my bluetooth mouse and , as usually once mouse turned off switching it back on it never re connects - why did I buy the bletooth mouse and keyboard ?, so I could not confirm yes force quit - is there no way of selecting with keyboard like there is in windows ?
So I switched off at power switch. Tried to re switch on - grey screen came up, apple logo, the little timer circle but after a while timer circle stopped and nothing further happened.
have tried several more times and now don't even get timer.

I have an "early 2009" mini. I hooked it up to my HD TV through a Sony amp that acts as an HDMI switch. It works great until I switch to a different component (e.g. satellite receiver). When I switch back to the mini there is no video or audio. Screen sharing is also disabled: I can't access the mini from another Mac. Oddly, I can use the iphone Remote app to operate iTunes and send output through AirPlay. I could also access its shared files through the network. I've tried hdmireviver. It works for a while, but when the mini is not selected by the HDMI switch for more than 15 minutes or so, it fails. Do later models of the mini work more congenially with an HDMI switch?

I have two users on my mac mini running OS X 10.7.4, both are administrators. When I click on my username in the upper right hand corner of the screen and select the second user, I can type in the password and "rotate" on over to the other user. However, from the second user account when I try and go back to the first user via the same process, no prompt appears when clicking on the user name from the drop down in the top right of the screen.

I recently bought a new macbook pro which I had set up and was running just fine. I then switched my hard drive from my old macbook (2006 black) which was running snow leopard. The Macbook pro will not move past the apple logo screen while the macbook starts up and willingly installs snow leopard on the new hard drive. I switched them back hoping that the macbook pro would recognize its old hard drive but no luck. I have a feeling its the old software as i read some where that you should not install older software on your mac than what it came with.

I have two towers next to my desk at home... my main Mac Pro and my "workhorse" 1.8Ghz dual G5 tower. I have two monitors connected to my Mac Pro, a 20" Apple HD Cinema Display (DVI) and a 23" Apple HD Cinema Display (DVI). I have been using one of the cute 17" Plastic Apple Displays with ADC to view the output of the G5 tower while it's toiling away on something, but I'd prefer to switch the output of the secondary 20" Apple HD Cinema Display between my Mac Pro and the G5 instead,

If I select from the menu bar another available wireless network (one without a password for example) and then switch back to my own wi-fi network, am I still safe?
Did the fact that I connected to another network present any risks?
I did not send any private info during that time, any risks of getting hacked?

Sometimes restarting is not enough: you need to power off your Mac, wait for a little, and power it on again.It could be a script which act like the "schedule" program in system preferences: it would switch off the Mac immediately, the add 1 minute to the current time and switch it on again.

Google and Microsoft are putting Apps online. If this story is true, looks like Apple is following that route.

Last Thursday, i shut my MBP down and gave it to a friend to look after while I went on a driving lesson, OS X has a password so he couldn't have got in, but when i turned it back on that afternoon, some of my apps were missing, such as Address Book, iCal, iChat, iSync, Safari and a few others I still haven't noticed. I have been able to re-install the apps, but why did it happen in the first place?!?!
Early '08 Macbook Pro 2.5GHz version
EDIT: I haven't been able to re-install iSync, it isn't available on Apple's website for download, and other sites want me to pay. It isn't a re-install option when i put the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 in. Any help in re-installing iSync would be very helpful.

Most of the apps that came with my Mac don't work. Mail, System Preferences, Firefox and Google Chrome all bounce for a bit in the Dock then disappear again. System Preferences sometimes appears, but as soon as I click on something it disappears again. Sometimes is appears twice in the Dock.
My mac is an old DET model, and i got in by cheating. (apple-s on startup, mount -uw /, rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone, shutdown -h now.) Could that have much to do with it? This is a multi-account system and none of these problems are experiences in other accounts made the same way. There are 2 admins and the account with probs are one of them.
