Bootcamp will not install on my late 2012 mini Samsung EVO 840 1tb SSD

I recently replaced my 256gb OWC SSD in my late 2012 Mac Mini with a Samsung EVO 840 1tb.
I did the following
1) Using 10.9 recovery i initialized and created a single clean partition on the 1Tb SSD
2) I installed a clean copy of 10.9
3) Using migration assistant i transferred apps and documents from my previous SSD via a USB 3.0 adapter to the new SSD
4) Using Bootcamp Assistant 5 I created an ISO version of a clean copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and downloaded the Apple updated Boot Camp drivers to the same 16gb Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 thumb drive
5) Using Bootcamp Assistant created a 199gb Bootcamp partition on the new Samsung SSD which appeared to go to completion
6) Mini restarted from the Bootcamp USB drive and Windows started successfully
7) I chose Windows 7 Home Premium install
8) I got the "which partition do you want to use to install Windows" screen, chose the Bootcamp partition, using the advanced option I chose format which appeared to complete, hit NEXT and then got an error that windows could not install because it could not find the NTFS partition, and then i was stuck.
When I rebooted I first got the Unable to find a bootable disk, hit any key error. I then physically shut down the computer, held down the alt key chose the Mac partition and the computer successfully booted. I could see the Bootcamp partition and according to Disk Utilities, the partition was formatted as NTFS.
The only connections to the Mini were a 30" Apple Cinema via a Apple Mini display connector, the keyboard and mouse via USB, and the USB Bootcamp Created 16gb Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 thumb drive. I also have an internal Apple 1 tb hard drive with no applications installed. In the apps installed on the Samsung does include Parallels 9.
What have i done wrong or missed? IF nothing it appears that the Bootcamp assistant supplied with 10.9 may have an issue with my Hardware setup including the Samsung EVO840 1tb drive.

There are known SATA speed issues with Macs and EVO 1TB. Please check in System Profiler -> SATA for SATA status of the EVO. It seems to work on OSX side, but not Bootcamp/Windows.
Please check for any firmware updates for the EVO on the Samsung website.

Mountain Lion will not install on MBP (late 2011) Macintosh HD: "This disk cannot be used to startup your computer"

Tried to upgrade from 10.7.4 on relatively new MBP. It appears that Mountain Lion successfully downloaded from App Store. However, ML will not install to the hard drive because "This disk cannot be used to startup your computer". Thanks for advice.

Macbook Pro Mid 2012 Crucial m500 960gb or Samsung Evo 840 1tb?

Hello,
So i've done a lot of research and I can't seem to quite get a definite answer.
I've seen many people say that the Samsung Evo 840 is having issues during bootup in the Mid 2012 one but some are saying it's running perfectly fine.
On the other hand, some are saying Crucial is better and guarantees that it will work.
I saw a link on youtube where the person upgrades his mid 2012 with the samsung evo 1tb.
But he has the top spec one.
Mine are:
Model Name:
MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:
MacBookPro9,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:
2.3 GHz
Has anyone tried upgrading this particular model with either the Crucial or the Samsung Evo?
Any thoughts?
I'm currently using a Kingston ssdnow v300 120GB with a 500GB HD but always seem to be running out of space on the boot drive which is annoying.
I want to get a large SSD and know that it'll run perfectly for the next 5 years.
Cheers.

I've had the M500 960GB drive for about 4 months now and I love it - it wasn't a major upgrade for me: I had a Crucial m4 series 512GB but, as I have had such good luck with Crucial, decided to go with the M500 960GB.
There was a new firmware upgrade on March 25th, so if you get the M500, be sure and do the (very simple) firmware upgrade!
Good luck,

Just ordered the Crucial M550 512Gb SSD ($334) to replace my Crucial M4 256Gb SSD. The drive is still going strong after 21 months of service but wanted a little larger capacity and faster write speeds. I will be putting the M4 in a 2009 MacBook Pro even though it's only negotiated link speed will be 3 Gigabit.....so it won't go to waste.
I nearly bought the Samsung EVO 500Gb ($244) but after reading all the reviews I decided that price and a little extra speed was not as important as reliability, compatibility, and the big one support. I went to Samsung's support page and was not impressed at all.
Im now second guessing my disission to not purchase the lower priced EVO over the M550 or even the M500 because of your previous statement "I would shop strictly for the best price".
Clinon, my question is:
Is the firmware the same for the M500 and M550?

BootCamp will not install in Windows Vista

I installed Windows Vista on my MBP 17" OSX (10.6.4) with no problems. The problem is now when I go to the Vista side, and try to install BootCamp drivers, I get a message saying "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". Does any one know what is wrong? Does my Vista need updating? Thanks for any help.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Windows 8 also works, but only with compatible Macs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Note that you can also install Windows 8 in non-supported Macs by Apple, but you will not be able to install the Windows support software.
As you have got Mac OS X Snow Leopard and after checking that your Mac supports Windows 8, you need to download the Windows support software from this website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638

10.6 will not install on a late model MacBook Pro

What a surprise ... FedEx just dropped off Snow Leopard and I popped the DVD into a less than a month old 2.8Ghz MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 with all other Apple software updated. I clicked on the Install Mac OSX icon, continue, agree to license and up comes a pic of my hard disk icon with a yellow triangle and exclamation point. When I select that disk (it's the only choice) to install I am told, "Mac OSX cannot be installed on "HD Name", because this disk cannot be used to start up your computer."
There are no other disks or peripherals of any kind connected.
The machine is running on the disk that I'm told "cannot be used to start up"
There are three user accounts. Only one is logged into and the account has admin
OK ... so I restart from the SL install DVD and select install ... same sequence, same result.
Ideas?

I've spent the day dealing with AppleCare and the local Apple store on this issue. I've tried installing on 5 MacPros, 2 17" MBPs and one Mac Mini. The Mac Mini worked and all seven others got the exact same error you got.
I got the error while trying to install while logged in and by trying to install with booting off the SL disk. AppleCare thought the DVDs were bad and they seem to be using this as the answer to a number of problems. I went back to the Apple store and swapped all my DVDs and they also tested them there. Both the original set and the new set worked there but once again didn't work on mine.
AppleCare and the techs at the store are stumped at this point. I was going to be testing further but PGP has released a notice that if you're running PGP you should not install till PGP 10.0 comes out, which means that now I can't test any further until the new PGP release comes out.
Regardless, there does appear to be a serious issue here. Hopefully it will be fixed before PGP gets the next release out.
The seven Macs that failed were all Intel Macs and covered a variety of generations over the past few years. All were fully patched up to 10.5.8 and were running without issue.

SQL Server 2012 Express SP1 will not install on Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2

I have been attempting to install SQL Server 2012 with SP1 Express Edition for about a two weeks and have been unsuccessful. My organization recently purchased a new Dell PowerEdge T320 Server (64 Bit) with Intel Xeon Proc.-E5-2420; 2.2Ghz, 32 Gb RAM,
1 Tb RAID 5 H/D, and Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials (preinstalled). The server will be configured as an on premises server. We are running a small church management application that requires SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express. Per the direction
of our application vendor, we downloaded the SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express file (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) from the Microsoft SQL Server Website. We ran the file "As Administrator" and the SQL Server 2012 Setup program began.
We selected New SQL Server Stand-Alone Installation, successfully installed the needed Product Updates, and accepted the MS SQL Server 2013 Express License terms.
When the Feature Selection Page appeared we checked only the "Data Base Eng Services". The
Instance Configuration Page was displayed and we inserted a "Named Instance= Shelby",then pressed next. On the
Server Configuration Page the only change was setting the "sql server browser = automatic". The Database Engine Configuration Page appeared
and we inserted the following settings:1] Server Configuration Tab; a) mixed mode, b)inserted SQL Server Admin pswd, c) added current user as administrator: 2] Data Directories Tab; default/no changes: 3] User Instanced Tab; default/no
changes: and 4] Filestream Tab; default/no changes. Next the
Reporting Services Configuration Page came up and the reporting services native mode was set to
"install and configure". The Error Reporting Page appeared and was left as the
"default". The SQL Server 2012 Setup program proceeded to Installation Progress Page and started to install. Just before the install program ended it displayed a message saying that there
were errors and the Database Eng Services did not succeed. I uninstalled SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express three (3) times, ran Windows Update after every uninstall, attempted to install the Database Engine and got the same results. Are there any patches or
special procedures for correctly installing SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express on my hardware configuration or Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post the setup Summary and detail logs, which will help to figure out the problem? The details about the location can be found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143702(v=sql.110).aspx

After the update to Android 5.0.1 my Galaxy Gear S will not install apps, I get an error message that says "Installation Failed. Try Later. (WO:WO:-1002)

After the update to Android 5.0.1 on my Galaxy Note 4, my Galaxy Gear S will not install apps, I get an error message that says "Installation Failed. Try Later. (WO:WO:-1002). I am glad it was a free app I was trying to install (I tried a couple of different ones to see if it was just a bad app and they all failed on the install. The Note 4 and the Gear S seem to be communicating okay via bluetooth (health stuff syncs, Gear S controls the music player on the note 4 Etc. )

Everything that I had installed previously on the gear S still works.
Everthing while in the gear manager seems to be working okay also. I can make changes in the Gear manager on the note 4 and they show up on the gear S. I have an app called watch styler , it let me create a new watch on the Note 4 and that showed up on the Gear S.
The only thing that seems to be not working is installing new apps.
When trying to get a new app it looks like it is working as normal , the dowload shows it is working but it errors out when it goes to install it.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

Eduardo Alejandro Lazo what specific error do you receive when trying to apply the update?
I would also recommend checking the installation logs for the updates you are attempting to apply for errors. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

ILife 11 will not install.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Peter,
This is a few months late relative to your post, but I just dealt with this. The full discussion is here - https://discussions.apple.com/message/18030492#18030492
Here's the short version of the solution.
I just got off the phone with Julie with Apple Support in Oregon. Here's the deal - Apple knew about this issue with the iLife 2001 installer "expiring" after March 23, 2012, so they put the workaround to release the block to installation in a software update which they issued March 17 this year.
Julie said that the oldest OS for which this fix has been included is OS 10.6.8.
She also said there are two ways to get this software fix - one of course is to hit the Software Updater under the Apple menu and download it that way - and she stressed that if you install your OS off an older DVD (for example, the system disks that came with your machine), you will need to run through Software Update several times, until you get the word that your software is fully up to date.
The other way is to get on Apple's site and download DL1512 - which you can find here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1512
"Apple Software Installer Update 1.0
This update addresses an issue that may prevent certain Apple software from installing. This update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X 10.6.8."
Having updated my OS, I retried installing iLife 2011, and voila - it installed.
So thanks to Julie at Apple Support!
Final note - The reason I had to reformat and reinstall my son's Macbook Pro is because he had installed Google Chrome and it tanked absolutely everything. The machine wouldn't even start up properly. Julie the Apple support lady said she has heard anecdotal reports about this.
I hope this helps.

Vista SP1 will not install, error 0x800f0826. Fix It tools will not run.

I am trying to upgrade a laptop all the way to Vista SP2, I first need to install SP1. It will not install and after Step 3 or 3, 100%, reverts stating error
0x800f0826.
The common cause, looking online, is a previous failed Windows update.
On this laptop there are no updates listed at all in Windows updates, none listed as pending, installed or hidden. It is as though Windows update has no history yet it tells me
it is up to date and there are no updates available.
I have tried a huge variety of Microsoft FixIt tools from various KB articles to try and solve this and this provides my other clue as 100% all Fix it tools fail.
If I could work out what causes them to fail, I might have more insight to the failed SP1.
Running any Microsoft "fixit" tool comes up with
"Troubleshooting cannot continue because an error has occurred we're sorry but the program encountered an error and can not continueplease
try again later. To download a utility to troubleshoot this problem click here." Clicking just downloads a Cab file full of PowerShell commands and xml files. (DIAG_MATS_NETWORK_global.DiagCab) which does
not seem to work with the Microsoft Diagnostic Toolkit.
If anyone can help me get the Fix It tools working then I might stand a chance to get the rest working.
Thanks
