• Use iCloud ID to connect on Mac

  I use my Apple ID to connect my Mac Mini at startup. However, my MacBook Pro does not offer me the possibility to use my iCloud ID to open a session. When I try to change my password, system preferences = > users and groups = > change password gives me only the same old options, no option to iCloud. Both computers are running up-to-date El Capitan. Any ideas?

  This feature has been removed in an update to El Capitan. What I read, if you had put in place before the update, you can continue to use it. If it was't put in place, it is no longer an option.

• can I connect a mac mini to existing imac?

  I have an iMac with a perfectly fine display 10.4, but I'm not able to upgrade more. I wonder if I can connect a mac mini and upgrade using my keyboard and screen of the iMac.

  Hi readingteacher,.

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I understand that you want to use your older iMac as a display of your Mac Mini. I am pleased to provide you with some information about this process.

  This article has some good information on what is needed to turn your iMac in a view:

  Use your iMac as a display with the target Display Mode

  As you can see, it takes an iMac compatible with 10.6.1 or later. Since your iMac seems to be a G5 with 10.4.8, I'm afraid that it is not compatible with this feature.

  I hope this helps clear of the things up. See you soon!

  I have an IMAC of mid-2011.  Can I connect a Mac mini to this iMac 2011 and use this monitor that has a built in processor?

  You should be able to, given the Mac Mini has the correct connections (in this case, a Thunderbolt connection).

  Use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

• How can I connect my Mac to a network server? As in windows yo go to my computer / connection to a network drive, and then you select a letter and write the name of the server that you want to be logged

  I'm trying to adapt Windows to my new MacBook Pro with OS El Capitan.

  I work remotely for a company and I want to connect my Mac to the server of the company.

  My question is how to connect a MAc to a network drive with the permanently available connection.  For example, in my old HP I went to my computer / connection to a network drive. I've selected a letter and note the name of the server that I wanted to be connected to. The connection was then shown with my other drive hard 'sections '; I want to say C:, D: (for recovery), e: (for tools) and then connecting to the external server has been shown with the selected letter.

  There is no "letter" under OS X. It's a hangover very old of BACK, devices of mapping and volumes labeled mailbox.

  If you are connected to your corporate network, you should see the available network volumes listed in the Finder, in ' my computer > network ", or with the command K to connect to a server.

  You can create an alias for the volume and put it in the Dock, or leave on the desktop or put it somewhere else, and the next time you want to connect to this subject, simply double-click on it. You can also add the server address to your "favourites" in the connect to Server dialog box.

• 1st generation ATV dead. Orange light but no screen and no resetting of distance.  I tried direct connection to Mac and iTunes open and he's not here.  Is it possible to restore to the factory without screen or remote work

  1st generation Apple TV is dead. Orange light but no screen and no resetting of distance. I tried direct connection to Mac and iTunes open and he's not here. Is it possible to restore to the factory without screen or remote workin

  I guess you tried maintained low men together for about 6 seconds - silver 1 ATV that will restart to the diagnostic partition but who would rely on the hard disk is functional and if it was ok that wouldn't work with the logic board failure.

  I guess you have not fed and attempted to restart.

  In case your AppleTV think it is paired with another remote try Menu and left arrow for 6 seconds - the light now intervenes when you press the buttons on the remote?

  Also, it could be in the video mode bad - try Menu and upward arrow together for 6 CES switch video modes, but implies that he actually started OK.

• connection ethernet Mac mini

  My Mac Mini (latest model 2014) suddenly stopped to connect to my network home yesterday. I can still connect wirelessly, but not via the ethernet cable.

  I tried to connect the Mac Mini to different ethernet ports, without passing through routers and switches and using different cables. But it doesn't go anywhere.

  Other computers (Windows) to connect very well to all ethernet ports.

  Can someone tell me how I can determine if this is a hardware problem or a software problem?

  In Network preferences, he says just "Cable Disconnected".

  Thank you
  Ian

• Is it possible to connect my Mac mini to my Mac Pro laptop using the memory on my mac mini for installing software Ableton as I don't have 3 GB available on my Mac Pro.

  Is it possible to connect my Mac mini to my Mac Pro laptop using the memory on my mac mini for installing software Ableton as I don't have 3 GB available on my Mac Pro.

  I want to download Ableton software, but it requires 3 GB of free memory that I have available on my MacPro laptop not because most of it is used for my library of music because I'm a DJ.

  I'm not sure how I can do it or not at all.

  Thank you very much.

  1. a Mac Pro is not a laptop. Its a big desktop computer.  You probably have a MacBook Pro, which is a laptop.

  2. No, you cannot share the memory (live RAM) or storage (disk space, which is not memory) like that between computers.

  However, it is very very bad practice to have so little storage space available for your computer.   If you have less than 3 GB, you should seriously consider an external drive. and unload some files on the outside. Its best not to leave your hard drive to go below 10 GB of free space because it can seriously affect your computer's performance.

• Can I connect my Mac Mini 2011 my end of 2014 Mac Mini using Thunderbold cable to double the RAM?

  My Mac Mini end of 2014 cannot add everything exceeds 8 GB RAM cable.

  I don't know why Mac was given the opportunity to add more RAM as applications become more and more wide and double my RAM will allow me to run applications of additional third party all in post processing my images.

  I have my Mac Mini 2011 with a Thunderbolt Plug and a delay in 2014 with 2 Sockets Thunderbolt

  I just want to connect two computers so that I can use 8 + 8 = 16 GB of RAM for photography post-processing.

  Buy everything just a Thunderbolt Apple cable to connect two computers and be speed up along?

  Thank you!

  No. but you can connect both via TB for quick file sharing
