Bootcamp won't recognize mic on mac mini.

Im running boot camp windows 7 64, and I bought a dynex dx-28 mice that has the green and pink inouts, for audio out and mic in. My mac mini(late 2009) recognizes the speakers on the headset and they work fine, but the mic is "Line In, Realtek High Definiton Audio" and I cant get any sort of sound in from the mic. When I tried it on a different computer running windows on a dell it showed the input as an acutal Microphone. I would really like to use this headset, any tips?

The headset also came with a cable that turns both of the green and pink plugs into one black plug if that helps.

No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.

My Magic Trackpad won't work on my Mac Mini?

My Magic Trackpad won't work on my Mac Mini? The cursor moves a little and then will not respond at all. Gestures do not work

Yes, it's one of the things that can interfere. Here are some others including airport. Try changing your access point to use 5 Ghz or a lower 2.4 GHz channel.

My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more.

My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more. Going through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant doesn't help - the computer finds the keyboard, but when I type in the pass code it fails to pair with it. The green LED on the bottom of the keyboard flashes twice at roughly two-second intervals. I've tried replacing the batteries and this has had no effect. I have all the latest software updates installed.

Welcome Cheirhandrea!
There are easily hundreds of variants of the iMac dating back to 1998. Many of the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers cannot support an Apple wireles keyboard. Because this model has been in production for so long, it is important for you to let us know as much about your computer as possible so someone won't give you information that may not be appropriate to your iMac variant.
So we need to know:
1) Your processor type and Mac OSX version, both available by doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar:
2) The make and model of the keyboard.
I asked for your Mac OS version because "iOS" as currently shown in your equipment profile cannot run on any Mac computer, only Apple's mobile devices. Once you get the OS version from "About this Mac," please change your profile to avoid further confusion and get help faster without the delay of someone having to ask for clarification before they can start helping.

Mic on mac mini

I had used a built-in mic on mac mini for Skype. Then I hookep up a usb webcam and the mic stopped working. After I disconnected the webcam, the mic remained nonfunctional. Anybody has an idea how to fix it?

It would help to know more about the Mini, what version, what OS?
However, a stab in semi-darkness: go to Apple Menu / System Preferences. Click on Sound (the speaker icon). Next click on Input button.
Try changing settings for Input Level.

Apple Earpods as mic on Mac Mini mid-2011

I've connected my Apple Earpods to the audio line-in socket on my mid-2011 Mac Mini but nothing shows up under the input tab in the sound settings. I tried using the built-in option but when I try to talk it doesn't pick up my voice. Does it just not work with Mac minis from 2011 or is there a way to do this that I don't know about?

Wrong jack. The line-in requires a amplified input. See:

Bootcamp is not working and my mac mini boots in to windows 7

. my mac mini does not have a optical drive . is there a way to get into disk utility ? Also my keyboard does not work at the startup.How to recover

I think this helps explain how to fix this HDMI Audio issue running Windows via Bootcamp. (I'm running Win 8)
1. Go to Programs on the Control Panel
2. Uninstall Intel HD Graphics Driver
3. Restart computer
4. Go to Intel's Driver Support website and download the driver.http://downloadcenter.intel.com/
(I'd reccomend just selecting the auto scan and it will show you what drivers you can install)
5. Install the Intel HD Graphics Driver
6. Restart computer
7. Go to Hardware and Sound on the Control Panel
8. Click on Sound and the Intel Display Audio should display now and set it as default
Hope this helps with anyone experiencing this same issue.

Mavericks won't install on newest mac mini fusion drive

I have a mac mini, latest version. I have a fusion drive.
Mavericks won't install on that drive. I get this message:
This disk doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme. Use Disk Utility to change the partition scheme. Select the Disk, choose the
partition tab, select the volume Scheme and then click Options.
Well, I did that, up to "choose the partition tab." Then it says "you may only split this partition into two. To do this, click +."
I did that, and there were two partitions. the only option left is to select apply, which I didn't.
The "options" were still greyed out.
So now what?
Thanks for any input.

Lion creates a recovery area with a minimal version of OS X and it may be unable to do so due to use over the years, and possibly other resizing operations (Boot Camp). It could just need more space, if you only have less than 8gb free. Lion shuffles and merges the two systems when it upgrades. You can burn the image downloaded from App Store by finding the dmg file inside the "Install Mac OS X Lion.app" bundle, dragging it into disk utility, then burning from there.
Otherwise, you can appropriate a MBR/BIOS formatted 4GB thumbdrive, 8GB of either EFI or MBR/BIOS thumbdrive, flash storage device, or external hard drive, and format it, using the restore operation through disk utility to copy the contents of the installer disk to the media. Exposed via the alt key before the Apple logo, should show the bootable media, where you can format over the former installation.
As always, backup your files when upgrading. I recommend if your installion is over a year old to wipe and upgrade if you can't make otherwise the media bootable, using your 10.6 recovery dvd.
If you cannot find an external medium to backup your files before the upgrade, if you need to format via disk utility (Through 10.6 media), you can consider Dropbox as an option (2GB free account).
It's not uncommon for the partition to simply refuse operations, including upgrades and resizing.

Dualdisc cd side won't play on my mac mini intel core duo w Superdrive

Shakira Fijacion Oral DualDisc "CD" side will insert and then automatically reject from my Mac Mini - Intel Core Duo. The DVD side plays fine. Unfortunately iTunes not smart enough to work with DVD side. There is a query in IPOD forum about Springsteen DualDisc also failing on intel mini mac that is listed at "answered" but for the life of me, I can't tell if you are supposed to just not buy DualDisc or else take the Mac Mini back for a new drive.
mac mini (intel core duo) Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2GB RAM

Mac Mini Intel Core Duo's did not ship until 2006 which seems plenty of time for Apple to announce 'we have a problem' and what their recommended solution.
Why would they do that ? I mean, they don't have a problem. The inventors of DualDisc made a type of disc that won't play in all players, and Apple can't really do anything about it. Superdrives are not made by Apple, it's just Apple's name for a DVD burner; the Superdrives that are found in various Macs come from several different manufacturers, and although Apple probably ensures that the Superdrive and the Mac work well together, they won't test whether it works with each type of disc (usually, the manufacturer will).
However, that is probably limited to redbook/standards-compliant discs; since a DualDisc's CD side doesn't comply with any standard other than "DualDisc", and because it is not considered important enough to be officially supported by most (if not all) manufacturers, they probably won't test them since they're bound to get mixed results anyway.
Similarly I don't remember seeing a "strictly redbook only" disclaimer on any of the media available from Apple describing the capabilities of its Superdrive when I was making my mac mini buying decision.
You didn't see one because it is not required. Asking that Apple (or any other company) warns you that their players won't play non-redbook CDs is a bit like asking that they tell you everything your optical drive won't play. Apple claims that their Superdrives will read CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R DL, which aren't only a bunch of weird-looking letters, but also correspond to a standard. When you see a CD logo on a drive, it means that it will play redbook-compliant CDs. Your Dell player simply does more that what it is supposedly capable of, but because one (or many) optical drives will play DualDisc doesn't mean that they all have to.

Bootcamp won't recognize Win7 dvd

I have a late 2008 aluminum body Macbook (5,1), running OS X 10.7.4 and Bootcamp 4.0.3. I replaced the 160 GB Toshiba HDD with a Crucial M4 SSD and boot off that. The problem I'm having is that even though it allows me to create the partition, it won't recognize neither the 32-bit DVD I purchased nor the 64-bit DVD of Windows 7 Professional. I'm sure everything is up to date, so I'm not sure what the problem is. It'll just try to read it for a few minutes then spit the DVD out. Also, the download of the Windows support software seems to be taking forever. Any help? Thanks in advance!

If you can't even make the partition then something else is wrong. Even without a DVD in the drive Boot Camp should still create the Windows partition. That is done before it even looks for a Windows install DVD.

IPhoto and other programs won't close on my mac mini

I haven't had a mac since I had my mac Toaster, I mean Cube with OS8. My hubby got me a mac mini. I haven't installed anything on it other than updates. I have mostly used it for iTunes and my new iPhone 6. I have imported photos to iPhoto, but it locks up and refuses to close. When it won't close, I can't shut the mini down. I've had to shut down by holding the power button two or 3 times.
On a PC, I can use Task Manager to end processes. Is there something like that on a mac?
Also, I'm surprised that a pristine mac with no additional software installed, hardly used, or even 'surfed' on, would have programs lock up like that. What's the deal?
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

Move the cursor of the app in the Dock (lower bar on screen) and click on the app and there should be a Quit or Force Quit selection. Also, you can open Activity Monitor which is in Finder>Applications>Utilities and select the app and then click on Force Quit

Lion won't install on my Mac mini. Why?

I have a 2 yr old Mac mini with 2.53 GHz Core Duo CPU, 4 GB of RAM and it's running 10.6.8. I just downloaded Lion but the installer says it can't install on my HD. Why not? I cannot find any info about what to do.
Is there some software on my computer that the installer does not like?
Does Lion need a completely new partition to install on?
If so, why is this not mentioned anywhere ?
Thankyou for your help.

Lion creates a recovery area with a minimal version of OS X and it may be unable to do so due to use over the years, and possibly other resizing operations (Boot Camp). It could just need more space, if you only have less than 8gb free. Lion shuffles and merges the two systems when it upgrades.

Monitor won't wake up with Mac Mini

I am using a Mac Mini (late 2012; OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2) connected via HDMI to a Samsung Syncmaster S27B350 monitor. When the Mac wakes from sleep, the monitor will wake up for about 5 seconds and then go black. If I unplug the monitor from AC power and then plug it back in and turn it on, it works fine.
I have read several threads but haven't found a solution.
I have the monitor set to PC mode. Any suggestions?

I have a Mac Mini Server 2012 with OS X 10.8.2 and an Belkin HDMI to DVI cable to an AsusMW221u. Whenever the Mac Mini sleeps, either logged in to a user, or still on the log-in page, the display will either show all-white or all-black. If I move my finger on the Magic Pad, a little rectangle, like the size of the Apple Logo, will wipe on the screen leaving non-contiguous rectangles on the display. Behind the rectangles I can see the log-in user circles and the password box. Once logged-in, the screen refreshed and problem disappeared, until next sleep time comes. I think it's the Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver problem. Similar situation happens very often in Windows based notebook and PCs.
