Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini?

Hey guys and girls...
Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini? If so how?

WHS is 64-bit. Genius are really not versed in Boot Camp or Windows, let alone anything not on the "approved" list of Windows versions.
Most of the problems are with burning ISO, or the SuperDrive. It should have seen the NTFS partition. Disk Utility is known to be trouble, burning it on your Mac Mine but iwth Windows 7....?
Seeing you have Windows 7, format the partition to NTFS 160GB you want and then exit and boot WHS installer.
Or run the install from Windows 7.
In past, WHS supported TimeMachine, streaming video, supported iTunes (that was broken/disabled it seems by Apple with 10.0), as well as even SuperDuper backups.
Main idea is to have some network attached drives.

I have both a ISO and Burned it to a dvd useing windows 7 built in ISO burning software, Its a 64 bit copy (got from microsoft download website from my dads microsoft account).
It is enouth for the OS but it runs slowish on the mac mini (latest core 2 duo 2.4ghz model) The Idea was to have it backup my pc and laptop to a usb drive and act as a media centre pc (connected to av receaver and tv and on a gigabit network with a 2TB nas)
Since it looks like this may not work, whats the best way to make it into a media centure? mac osx? windows 7? plex? whats best and good?
I'd avoid USB like the plague. Why not use your PC instead? If I was going to use a Mini for WHS, I'd just use the Mini solely for Windows and not have OS X (you can boot OS X off an external drive anyway).

Can I install OS X Server on my Macbook Pro ?

Q1)
Can I install OS X Server on my Macbook Pro (mid 2010) and use it as a server in my small office network ?
Q2)
If i have OS X Server, can some of the client machines be windows Xp / 7 ? Will it work well ?

A1: Yes.
A2: Yes. (Though this is dependent on exactly what you're planning to do. Windows Server and Active Directory will be a better choice for Windows distributed authentication, for instance.)
A3: are you going to have your MacBook Pro configured at a static IP address, with proper local DNS running on your server or some other LAN-local device (server provide and need local DNS, and referencing your ISP DNS won't work here), and will your server be available most- or full-time for the clients that are going to come to depend on the services from the server? If not, then this approach is probably not the best one. What happens to your environment and to any of your shared data if you're carrying your MacBook Pro server around and it happens to get dropped or lost or stolen?
A4: If you're "just" planning on serving storage to your other systems, then get a NAS device. Something akin to an Time Capsule, or a Synology NAS widget, or similar network-attached storage devices are available, flexible, and cost-effective. NAS devices are also usually rather less to manage than a full-blown server, too.
A5: If you have specific services or requirements in mind, somebody here might be able to provide a more specific answer.
TL;DR: Servers differ from clients in that a client outage generally adversely effects only one user, where a server outage generally adversely effects multiple users.

Hi Raj, 
Sorry but unfortunately the short answer is no. 
The iPlanet Application Server is supported on 
UltraSPARC running Solaris 2.6 or Solaris 8 
or 
Windows NT 4.0 SP 5 
It's also available on HP-UX 11.0 and AIX 4.3.3 
but I don't know on which hardware 
You can check the documentation on http://docs.iplanet.com 
Hope this helps

Apple says in [this|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461] support article:
Requirements
A full, single-disc version of Windows 7 (Mac OS X v10.6 or later only), Windows Vista, Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later. Boot Camp does not include Windows. You must provide your own properly licensed installation disc. Important: A Windows XP installation disc must include Service Pack 2 (SP2). You cannot install an earlier version of Windows and upgrade to Windows XP, nor install an earlier version of Windows XP and update it to SP2. _*Media Center, OEM, and upgrade versions of Windows XP are not recommended*_.
but they don't say it's not possible.
good luck !

I currently run Snow Leopard, but as of a month ago my calendar no longer can connect with the server. From the discussion threads it seems that it has to do with iCloud. I'm going crazy not having my iPhone synch with my desktop.
Can anyone help? All I want is for my calendar to synch with my phone.
Thanks!!

Lion needs Core2Duo ... CoreDuo is not enough.

Hi, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please help.

Hello all, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please advise. Thank you.

Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.

Can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac from CD

I can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac I just purchased. The software is brand new, the CD appears to read fine. The instillation "on-screen" instructions are not popping up. I have had the software a minute, purchased it new but was waiting till I could afford an iMac. Any suggestions?

How are you using a CD with a new imac? They haven't had disc drives in years.
Try downloading from here and use the serial number from your boxed version:
Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
However, there are a couple of other things to try. First of all, PSE 9 has both mac and windows discs. If the disc doesn't mount on the desktop, then you've got the wrong one. Go get the other one and when it appears on the desktop, double click it. Then double click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, double click Install/Setup (can't remember which it was for PSE 9, sorry). There is no automatic install for PSE for mac, since macs have no autoplay function for security reasons, and there isn't any window with instructions, either. You just keep double clicking till it installs.

no boot camp.
how to do that if impossible?

Hi Matthew!
Boot Camp will be the closest you'll come to your goal. A Mac is afterall intended to run Mac OS software first and foremost and Windows is only a secondary OS. But it is possible to boot into Windows after using Boot Camp to get it installed and then delete the Mac partition. You can always reinstall the Mac OS later.
Or you can still use Boot Camp to get Windows installed and just never boot back into Mac OS X (leaving it on its own partition). But why have Apple hardware just to do that? You'd be better off selling your Mac Mini and purchasing an Intel machine that will run Windows natively.
Hope this helps! bill

Can I install Tiger in my NEW 21.5" iMac ?

Can I install Tiger on my NEW 21.5" iMac ?
Machine bought new - Nov. '09.
While I do like some of the features in Snow Leopard... almost all my existing software plus the Sims 2
games will apparently NOT run (or run well).

Rosetta does exactly that. It was created to run MacOS X programs that only ran on PPC macs to run on intel processors. Rosetta would translate PPC machine instructions into intel instrucions on-the fly.
Classic Mode was a whole separate operating system. Rosetta merely translates PPC to intel so it is generally invisible to the user.
I have used Quicken '05, iMovie HD, AppleWorks and Microsoft Office under Rosetta with no issues. Photoshop 7 was the only program I have that choked and would not run. I would guess that the Sims program would be most likely to not run. They might have an intel update available, I know that Zoo tycoon 2 had a patch to allow for intel processers, The Sims might, too.
Some programs have "fat binaries" with both versions. If you are curious, you can see whether you are running intel or PPC-translated by using the activity monitor.
You don't need to run Rosetta separately, if it is needed it turns itself on, so the programs install normally. In fact, some programs needed Rosetta just to run the installer, the actual software ran on the intels.
I think I have the same machine as you, I just bought my new 21.5" iMac last month. I love it by they way, a DVD that would have taken all night to burn was done in a little over an hour!

I can't install OS 9 & OS 10 on my iMac

I have tried everything, I can't install OS 9 & OS 10 on my iMac G4/800 flat panel. I have all sorts of installation discs, I have OS X installed, but I can not get any of 4 different OS 9 discs to boot up, help!

If you already have 256 MBs installed inside, then the 1 GB module is installed in the base slot. If you want to upgrade to 2 GBs, then you must first remove the 256 MB module and replace it with another 1 GB module. Maximum RAM supported is 2 GBs.
If the kernel panic occurs when booting from an installer disc before the installer loads, then there's a hardware failure. Could be bad RAM but could also be a motherboard problem. It's possible it's a hard drive but that isn't as likely if the panic is nearly immediately after the computer starts.
If you have the Apple Hardware Test CD that came with the computer you can run the hardware tests to see if anything pops up. If it does you will have an error code reported. Note what that is so you can tell the service tech about it.
