Bootcamp 5 on Mac Mini 2010

According to Apple's Boot Camp site, (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US) my Mac Mini 2010 supports Boot Camp 4.  But I am running 10.8.3 now and this has installed Boot Camp 5 on my Mac Mini.  Will this cause any problems if I want to install WIndows 7?  Thanks.

One thing is the Boot Camp Assistant version and a different one is the Boot Camp drivers version your computer supports.
Mountain Lion has got Boot Camp Assistant 5, but computers that aren't compatible with Boot Camp 5 get Boot Camp 4 drivers without any problem. You can install Windows 7 without any problem, always that you download and install the Boot Camp 4 drivers in Windows. You can get these drivers in Boot Camp Assistant. Follow these steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

  • 3D Vision via bootcamp on Mac mini (continued)

    Hi
    Before I read this archived thread,
    3D Vision via bootcamp on Mac mini
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2545736?start=0&tstart=0
    I downloaded the latest NVIDIA driver 285.62 for my Mac mini server
    (2010,GeForce 320M graphic chip)
    for testing hdmi 1.4a frame-packing 3D output under windows7 x64 Boot Camp.
    First time,I tried the NVIDIA driver with “recommended install” option,
    then it output black screen, I can’t do anything,
    so I entered the safe mode,
    recover to the origin driver come with Boot Camp 4.01.
    I find some suggestion from someone’s experience by Google,
    second time, I tried the “Custom install-whole new install”
    (or something like this, I did it under international version),
    it passed the part where first time fail,
    It seems OK then installation completed and reboot.
    After reboot,
    I can’t enter the boot camp partition by pressing “option”during restart,
    The list of choosing HDs or recovery HD option not shown at all,
    it just boot into OSX,
    I can still see boot camp partition under “Finder”,
    but boot camp is gone under Startup Disk control panel.
    After repair procedure of Disk Utility,
    the boot loader still not shown
    & boot camp still gone under StartupDisk control panel.
    The driver seems damaged the boot partition table.
    I think I need to re-create the Boot Camp partition
    and re-install windows 7 again!
    Above is my foolish experience.
    The question is:
    Is there anything I can try to recover my boot loader?
    What’s the version of driver successfully support 1920x1080 24p 3D output?
    Is the newest NVIDIA driver 285.62 available for mac mini
    by modded.inf method mentioned from the archived discussion?
    Thank you~

    After updating NVidia driver newer than 267.76,
    I got black screen after Windows Logo shown during reboot.
    After countless annoying tests,
    I installed the newest NVidia 285.79 driver without problem finally.
    My original prefered display configuration:
    link the primary monitor with HDMI port
    I already followed the GeForce Driver Installation Guide, step by step,
    http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=169555
    but there's still black screen after reboot.
    THEN, I TRIED TO USE mini-DISPLAY PORT INSTEAD AND REBOOT AGAIN,
    video signal was connected to my DELL 2707W(only DVI port)
    by MiniDP to HDMI adapter/HDMI-DVI cable.
    The display is NORMAL NOW !!
    Root Cause assumption:
    Maybe the driver newer than 267.76 always regard miniDP as primary signal output port,
    even if you set the HDMI port as primary.
    I think this is a serious bug, but no solution after mote than 30 driver updating.
    The following configuration worked on my Mac mini 2010 system:
    mini─miniDP to HDMI adapter─
    HDMI cable to HDMI splitter─┬HDMI-DVI cable─Dell 2707
                                                  └HDMI cable─ 3D projector
    but I found that the configuration can't play 3D video...
    So I changed the configuration to:
    Mac─miniDP to HDMI adapter─HDMI-DVI cable─Dell 2707
          └HDMI cable─ 3D projector 
    For your reference.

  • Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter works with Mac Mini 2010?

    Hi,
    I would like to connect my Mac Mini (2010 edition) to both my Samsung PX2370 display and my LCD TV. Currently, I only have the Samsung display connected through the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter, but I'd like to use the HDMI output to directly connect my LCD TV, and connect the Samsung display by using a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter, like the one that is for sale at the Apple Online Store. Such adapter should work without trouble with any MAc computer that has a mini DisplayPort output, including the Mac Mini, right?
    Thanks in advance for your support.

    You're right, but I forgot to mention that the Samsung display is just an LCD monitor, so I don´t really need to get audio output for both connections
    Currently, I use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter to connect the Samsung monitor, but I'd like to use the HDMI output to connect my LCD TV instead (and probably a home theater system in the future), and use the Mini DisplayPort output for the monitor, so that I can have a dual-display setup.
    I asked this question, because I read the description for the Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter in the Mexico Apple Store web page, and that description tells that only Macbooks support the adapter. In the US Apple Store page, it does tell that the adapter is supported by any Apple computer with a Mini DP connection, so I just wanted to confirm which description is true, to avoid confusions.
    Anyway, I appreciate that you took the time to respond... Regards!!

  • Mac mini 2010 very slow after update to Mavericks

    My mac mini 2010 (2.4 Ghz, 8GB ram) is running really very slow after updating to Mavericks.
    Clearly OneDrive is a pain... but had it running on ML as well, and though it is a memory and CPU hog, it never really slowed down the system.

  • Mac Mini 2010 and Windows 7

    Hello All,
    I searched the forums to see if my question had already been answered, but I couldn't find it. My apologies in advance if this, in fact, is solved. I am having some issues with my installation of Windows 7 on my Mac Mini 2010 model 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo. I used boot camp to create a partition, installed windows 7 64 bit from a copy that I bought from school, and it did install.
    Problem 1
    The problem that I am having is that the operating system states that 4GB of RAM is available and 3.5GB is usable. I currently have 8GB installed(Not factory, I purchased third party) and it reads fine in Mac OS X. Does anyone else have this problem or a similar one?
    Problem 2
    The screen will not expand fully in Windows 7. I have an ASUS 21.5in HD screen that will display up to 1080p connected to the HDMI connection on my mac. When I boot up, the screen will display in a smaller size(about 3/4 the size of the screen) while the rest of the screen is black.
    What have I tried?
    I have updated to the latest boot camp package on the Apple website to make sure I have the latest drivers for my NVIDIA GeForce 320M card.
    I have tried playing with the resolution in Windows 7 to display the maximum possible resolution
    I have made sure to install all Windows 7 updates.
    Problem 3
    I don't have full access to the monitor menu. When I touch the menu button, I can only change the brightness, sharpness, and that is it. I can't do anything about expanding the screen, moving the screen left or right, etc.(If I did have these options, then problem #2 would be solved).
    Nothing has worked.
    What do I think...
    I am thinking that it has something do with the fact that I am running the screen from the HDMI, although I don't really know why. It could also be the monitor. I could try to purchase the Mini Display Port adapter to see if that offers a better resolution, more freedom with my monitor, etc. This would fix problem 2 and 3. I did order a 24" Apple Cinema Display which will be here in a few days. If everything works with that, then I guess I wouldn't have a problem anymore, but I think it should still work with my existing monitor.
    As for the first problem, I am at a loss. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks for reading.

    I completely agree with your assessment for Problem #1, but here we have it.
    I will try re-installing and will also double check with the drivers for the monitor. Thanks for the advice. If all else fails, I will just use parallels.

  • Audio Output from Mac Mini 2010

    Hello -
    I purchased a mac mini 2010 this weekend for use as a home theater PC. I've got it connected to an Onkyo tx-sr604 a/v receiver via HDMI. I then pass the HDMI signal from the Onkyo to my hdtv, so I think it just passes through. For audio, I use a surround sound system. And, in case it matters, I have a second tv connected via the DVI output on the mini.
    The Onkyo indicates that the audio input signal on the HDMI is PCM Multichannel. When I play movies (e.g., Netfix or DVD) or music (e.g., pandora) on the mini, I don't get any sound on the center channel in multi-channel mode. In direct mode, I only get sound in the front left and right speakers. I'd like to have normal surround sound.
    Is there not a way to get 5.1 surround sound from the mini? Or, am I missing a set up or something? If I connect my receiver to the mini with the digital audio output, will I then receive digital audio?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Mike it is my understanding that if you want 5.1 Surround sound that you must connect the mini directly to the SS system and not pass the audio signal through another device.

  • Overscan missing from new Nvidia Drivers - Mac MIni 2010

    So I was able to install new Nvidia drivers on my Mac mini 2010, however, there are no overscan options.. and my tv is connected via HDMI. Is there any workaround for this?

    The final version of Appleworks 6 does in fact work on the Intel Mini under Leopard -- but Apple doesn't support it, nor ship it with the new Minis.
    A free office suite that is MS Office compatible is NeoOffice:
    http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/maindownload.php
    a similar alternative is OpenOffice:
    http://www.openoffice.org/
    There is no office suite that is directly compatible with Appleworks files, but if you install AppleWorks 6 on your Mini, you could export files in formats that other office programs can read.

  • Upgrade Mac Mini 2010 to SSD, have you tried this?

    Hi all, and this is my first discussion thread.
    I'm currently running my Mac Mini 2010 with a SATA Male to Female cable and ext. SATA power on a WD VelociRaptor 150GB.
    The solution isn't really elegant i feel and it generates alot of heat from the drive and some extra noise when loading heavy applications eg. parallels desktop.
    I've even up the ram to the max 8GB as well and everything seems zippy so far.
    Earlier there are alot of talk about SSDs requiring TRIM on the operating system and as what we know Mac OS X Leopard
    does not have integrated TRIM support.
    So i'm basically looking at SSD candidates that will:
    - run the power provided by the Mac Mini's (5V) integrated PSU
    - don't require TRIM support to manage garbage collection on the hardware level.
    So far, i've only 2 candidates:
    - Crucial RealSSD
    - Kingston V100+
    Which one will you shell out for and why?
    Additional question:
    - If i remove the superdrive on my mac mini, can i get a external USB superdrive? is there such a thing at all?

    theres no reason why it should not work, plug in the HDMI cable, select the Source input on LCD(HDMI 1/2), if still no picture on the Mini open System Pref>Display : Resolution> it should show 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p and other lower resolutions, just select 1080p and to your right select 60hz. Hope this helps.

  • Mac Mini 2010 superdrive  noisy

  • Is mac mini 2010 good enough for iphone app development?

    I'm planning to get a Mac Mini 2010, with 4GB of ram instead of the default basic 2GB. I'm getting it to do iphone app development. Is this computer going to be sufficient? Are there any caveats I should be aware of?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I got exactly that setup for exactly that purpose... even the 4GB upgrade Even without the ram upgrade it should still be fine for iPhone app development. I've not run into any problems with mine.
    I got my ram upgrade because I want to run Windows inside MacOS using virtualization software - that kinda thing requires lots of ram.
    You might want to wait two days though before you buy. Apple has an event on Wednesday (October 20th) and it looks like there will be a lot of focus on Mac, possibly some hardware upgrades and a new version of MacOS.
    Regards

  • 30-inch Apple Cinema Display on Mac Mini 2010

    I recently went around to look for a 30-inch Apple Cinema Display. I found out that if I use it with the new Mac Mini 2010, the resolution is somewhat pixelized. From what I know the Mac Mini's Mini DisplayPort supports for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution.
    Base on the 30-inch max resolution, its 2560 x 1600. Did I get this right?

    Did I get this right?
    Yes, if you're using a dual-link DVI adaptor. If you're using a single-link one, the maximum resolution on a 30-inch display is 1280 by 800.
    If you're using a dual-link DVI connection at the correct resolution, check the Zoom setting in the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.
