Cannot install 10.4.3 on my brand new mini

Help!
I have a brand-new mac mini OSX 10.4, which is not connected to the internet. It tells me that the HD has 37.1GB, 25.2GB free.
I downloaded the 10.4.3 update onto my 256MB "datakey" (USB flash drive) and tried to install it onto my new mini. When I got to the "Select Destination" stage I was prevented from selecting the HD and the message told me that "Installing requires 292MB of space. You cannot install mac OSX update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
What's the problem?
And also, do I really need the update at all? I'm not planning to do much at the moment aside from importing music, watching DVDs, and maybe doing some photo editing and word processing.
Thank you!

Which updater did you download? There are four different 10.43 updaters; one for Mac OS X client, another for Mac OS X Server, plus combo updaters for each of the first two. If you have a client version of Mac OS X 10.4 prior to 10.42 installed, you need the 10.43 combo updater.

Installing Windows 7 Enterprise on a brand new PC

Hi, this is my first post here so please be gentle.
First of all I would like to mention what a great forum and resource this website is for noobs like myself and I would immensely appreciate any help / advice.
I recently applied for a Desktop Support position and gained an interview. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful at the interview stage. One of the questions asked in the interview was "talk me through how you would install Windows 7 Enterprise
on a brand new PC".
I've previously worked as an IT Service Desk Analyst but want to get out of this call centre environment and start working out in the field instead. I've previously performed clean installs of Windows 7 Home Premium numerous laptops at home during
my spare time. However, I understand that installing Windows 7 Enterprise on a new corporate PC is somewhat quite different and there are many approaches for this. I really need advice for this approach as I have another interview lined up for Wednesday and
am sure a similar sort of question will again be asked. I will also need to know how to add a new PC to the network once Windows 7 Enterprise is installed.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

it worked
thanks
but i actually have another problem
a year ago (whenever the newest Mac OS came out), i upgraded the OS.
in the middle of installing the OS, i got error messages, and i had to restart the installation a couple times before i finally got through.
when i tried to install OS X on my new hard drive, the same error message came up.
anyone know whats wrong with my computer?
thanks for all your help by the way.

Have personal Apple ID account which allows me to download apple apps but when I go to update the apps Apple ID pops up thats not mine and cannot log in to update apps. Brand new IPAD never any other user

Is the AppleID listed in Settings --> Store and Settings --> iCloud the same?
If it is a totally different ID and not a slight variation of yours, I would definitely take it back to the store. You may have bought a returned item that had been setup previously.

Error message: Volume "Macintosh HD is full" on brand new mini

Hi,
Just installed Logic X on a brand new Mini 2.6Ghz, 256 ss HD, 16 gigs Ram. This is a dedicated machine for music so there is really no other major programs installed. I have almost 200 gigs of free HD space. I am using 2 interfaces as an agregate device for a total of 20 i/o. One is a MOTU 896MK3 and the other is an Audiofire Echo which is the master clock. The connection is Firewire 400 and I'm recording at 44.1 to the same internal HD. I also optimized my computer settings by turning off indexing and time machine.
On this project I have about 12 tracks of live drums enabled which I can record with no problem but when I try to play the tracks back after about 30 seconds in it stops and I get this error message: Volume "Macintosh HD is full" . The session has no software instruments at this time and I have no plugins on the tracks yet. When I look at my CPU load it's very low as would be expected and I have a ton of HD space. This computer is literally 2 days old. I am monitoring the individual tracks back through the interfaces into the returns on my analog mixer channels. I should also say that I had similar issues trying to run this setup on an older macbook pro which had a lot of software installed on it and is not a robust, I thought that upgrading to a newer faster machine would be the way to go. I am suspecting that my agregate interface setup could be a week link but getting an HD error message doesn't make any sense to me. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Its normally caused by a disk data problem ..... and the solution in this thread usually fixes it...
if this doesnt fix it.. try rebuilding your Spotlight indexes.... as Spotlight is what Logic uses to track everything on disk.... so it could be a corrected index that is at the root of your problem.

I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini. Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead." The mouse still works but can't type. If I restart, everything is fine again. Is there anything that will fix this problem?

Also, I am trying to connect my Mini from the mini-Displayport to the Displayport of my Dell U2410 monitor. The image is very grainy,even though it is set to the correct resolution: 1920 X 1200 at 60Hz. If I use HDMI to VGA input, the image is much clearer. Is there a way to get the Displayport to work?

I'm having exactly the same keyboard issue. Certainly nothing has ever enhanced my concentration while coding like suddenly becoming unable to type.
I'm seeing a great many devicemgr and rake errors in my system log. I don't know if they're related. How 'bout you?
If you're unfamiliar with the system log…
Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
If necessary, choose View > Show Log List.
system.log is at the top of the FILES section.
Try searching it for hot words like DEBUG, FATAL, and aborted.
I've found some discussions that would tend to indicate my errors are postGres related – I'm running OS X server.

Brand New Mini - Can't Migrate from Old

OK, Santa brought a brand new mini to replace my trusty 2007 mini. I fired it up and tried to use migration assistant to migrate from the 2007. First I tried it via network. It got to the screen where it showed the old mini as the source but then just sat there with the buzz saw spinning and 'looking for other computers'. I don't understand why it was still looking...it had found the one that it needed. So I plug my Time Machine disk into it. It gets to about the same point...shows the disk and the buzz saw and the 'looking for other computers' message. Why is it looking for other computer? I rebooted and it finally recognized the Time Machine disk and I selected what I wanted to migrate and it went on its merry way while we had dinner. I come back a couple hours later and it says 'copying system info...about a minute left' or something close. I left it there for about an hour and finally shut it down & restarted. It then went to the gray screen with the apple and the buzz saw and hung there for about an hour. I tried a few more times and then booted into the Utilities screen and am in the process of re-installng Lion. I'm not happy. Any idea what the problems were/are? I hope I can get it working after all this. Did I mention that I'm not happy?

Just installed Logic Pro 8 on my BRAND NEW iMac 24"

So I had a 15 MBP (2.4 Ghz) and I just bought a 24" iMac (2.9 Ghz version) I spent all day installing all my software (Adobe Master Collection, Logic Pro, iTunes music) The first time I turned on the machine it started up, but then I tried to navigate somewhere and the computer froze right up..... I held the power button and restarted....
I mainly got this machine to use the Adobe software and Logic Pro..... Now when I went to open up a demo project in Logic, it's giving me an error code "Disk is too slow or System Overload.(-10010)"............... ?????? And the CD drive seems to be making a pretty noticeable loud noise and "clunky" sound.
I thought I was going to get better performance out of this machine than my MBP, but it seems to be worse!!! Can anyone fill me on as to WHY my BRAND NEW machine is acting like this?

Sounds to me like you got a clunker. Take it back to the Apple store, and get it replaced ASAP.
This has nothing to do with Logic... your drive might be all messed up...

Install Maps 3.06 on a brand new Nokia 5800

I currently have a 5530, which is a little damaged: the call speaker is not working, the touch screen is quite scratched. Next month I'll be travelling to Europe (Portugal) and maybe I'll buy a brand new Nokia 5800. It's a very good phone and it's price has dropped a lot, but it's still expensive in Brasil, where I live.
Since I'll be on a vacation, I'm not sure whether I'll have free wi-fi available. It would be nice if I could download Ovi Maps 3.06 and the latest Portugal map on my home PC, in order to later install on the new 5800. I have on my current phone, a 5530, many Ovi Maps 3.04 favourites and routes. Those I can easily synchronize on the new 5800 with my Ovi account, that's easy. The problem is how to upgrade a brand new 5800 without having wi-fi (although data plan will not be a problem).
Is that possible? How do I proceed to get the necessary files? How do I install them on a brand new 5800?
Best regards,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@ asperguy,
I finally managed to download the installation file from Ovi Maps support site. But I'm a little confused here...
you said:
Admittedly this is using a Mac but if I use http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/compatibility-and-download#/nokia-5800-... then hit "Download" I get ovi_maps_installer_3.06_11wk10_b01_s60_5.0_com.sis
Try this instead:5800XM v3.06"
That last link (5800XM v3.06) points to a file named: "ovi_maps_installer_3.06_11wk7_b11_s60_5.0_nocs_beta.sis"
But through Ovi Maps support page I download the file:
"ovi_maps_installer_3.06_11wk10_b01_s60_5.0_com.sis"
Which one is the final release and which one should I install on a factory new 5800XM?
Best regards.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

I cannot access Gmail. Even on a brand new Firefox profile. No cookies, no cache, no random settings. It still won't access Gmail.

I can't even get Firefox to go to the login site.
I've cleared the cache, etc. I've set up a brand new, totally clean Firefox profile. Nothing works. Every other site is just fine.
WTH.

What error are you getting?

Screen Share for Brand New Mini Server

Hello all,
just unpacked the brand new Mac Mini Server and don't know what to do. We all work on laptops in my studio so have no keyboards to use with the thing. I haven't turned it on yet, but is there a way to immediately go into remote screen sharing so I can configure it etc? Thanks for any tips that keep me from having to go dig up a keyboard!

Hi
Do you see an option to Screen Share on a client mac?
With the MacMini there should be two disks. One of them is for installing the Server Administration applications. Install these on a client mac - must be 10.6. Once installed launch Server Admin. Switch on your MacMini and connect it to the network. Good idea to have DHCP running somewhere. Presumably whatever you're using for your Router/Firewall? Make a note of the MacMini's Serial Number (first 8 characters) Launch Server Admin and dismiss the authentication prompt. Select "Set Up Remote Server" from the Server Admin Menu.
It should be fairly obvious from there - hopefully?
HTH?

Brand New Mini / Brand New LCD Projector

Just bought a Mac Mini 1.42 GHz with the 80 GB hard drive and the Combo drive. I just opened the box and plugged it into my brand new Panasonic PT-900U LCD projector and nothing. No video. Nothing at all.
It seems many people are having video problems with the mini. What's the deal? Will this mini work with my brand new projector? My PowerBook works instanly with the projector. I don't have a monitor to test the mini with at all. I have no way of knowing if the mini is even booting as I can't see a thing.
Can I hook the mini to my PowerBook? HELP!!!

Snap-
Can you also plug something else, like a computer, into the projector and verify that it is working? And if you had another monitor to plug into the mini I would try that as well.
I do not know what your trouble shooting expertise is, so please excuse me if you have tried that already. But it would help to narrow things down to the actual culprit.
