DVD can't read or use 64 bit Win 7 install

I just upgraded to a late 2012 Mac Mini and wanted to install Boot Camp.  With this model and OS version, I only have Boot Camp 5 which requires 64 bit WIndows.  This model should support that.  But the Mac doesn't seem to recognize the 64-bit DVD when I put it in, and trying to boot with it gives a message to the effect of "operating system not found" or "installer disk not found" or some indication that the DVD is not bootable.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?  I actually have two copies of WIndows 7 on DVD, and in both copies, the 32 bit DVD can be read but the 64 bit can not.  And since Boot Camp 5 doesn't even support 32-bit installations, I can't even use that as a fallback position.  Any ideas? 

Update:  Found a workaround to this.  Basically when I was actually in Mountain Lion and when trying to directly boot from DVD, the disk wasn't being recognized as a valid bootable volume.
Then I tried rebooting and holding down the Option key for a list of bootable devices.  One of them was a DVD called "Windows" and using the boot menu to launch the install worked.  For some reason I was unable to directly recognize this as a valid, bootable device...

  • DAQ vi to perform digital write and read measurements using 32 bits binary data saved in a file

    Hi
    DAQ vi to perform digital write and read measurements using 32 bits binary data saved in a file
    Two main
    sections:
    1)     
    Perform
    write and read operations to and fro different spread sheet files, such that
    each file have a single row of 32bits different binary data (analogous to 1D
    array) where the left most bit is the MSB. I don’t want to manually enter the
    32 bits binary data, I want the data written or read just by opening a file
    name saves with the intended data.
          2)     
    And
    by using test patterns implemented using the digital pattern generator or  build digital data functions or otherwise, I need to
    ensure that the     
                binary data written to a spreadsheet file or any supported file type
    then through the NI-USB 6509 is same as the data read.
    I’m aware I can’t use the simulated
    device to read data written to any port but if the write part of the vi works I
    ‘m sure the read part will work on the physical device which I’ll buy later.
    My Plan
    of action
    I’ve
    created a basic write/read file task and a write/read DAQ task for NI USB 6509
    and both combine in a while loop to form a progress VI which I’m confuse of how
    to proceed with the implementation.
    My
    greatest problem is to link both together with the correct functions or operators
    such that there are no syntax/execution errors and thus achieve my intended
    result.
    This
    project is one of my many assignments for my master thesis, so please i’ll
    appreciate every help as I’m not really efficient with LabVIEW programming but
    I prefer it because is fun and interesting if I get to know it.
    Currently I’m
    practicing with LabVIEW 8.6/NI DAQmx 8.8 Demo versions and NI USB 6509
    simulated device.
    Please see
    the attached file for my novice progress, thanks in
    advance for the support

    What does your file look like?  The DAQmx write is expecting a single U32 value, not an array of I64.

    Then I can't use my Primary Apple Account as an E-mail anymore. When people send a mail to my primary apple account, I cant read it because I cant read emails using my Primary Apple Account anymore.
    When I signed in with my primary apple Email account and opened my Mail App, It used my Icloud email instead my primary apple email.
    I tried everything Include making an email aliases but my primary apple email uses @Yahoo.com and I can only use aliases of @Icloud.com
    Can someone please help me so I can read E-mails when people send an Email to my primary apple account? Because I need to see those subcription mails and change my password of my online game account(<- This one is URGENT).
    And sorry for my bad English because I'm Indonesian.

  • Can't read m4v video files since I've installed Itunes 10.4 update.

    Hello,
    I've bought video files on Itunes Store which were working perfectly so far on my macbook pro.
    Since I've installed Itunes 10.4, when I launch m4v files, I just have a black non active screen, no message, nothing else.
    Other video or audio files can be read.
    I'm using mac OS X 10.6 so it's supposed to work.
    My other mac (Imac) which is using Itunes 10.3 can read these m4v files without any problem.
    So I tried to get back to Itunes 10.3 (for my macbook pro) but I can't cause the Library has now been created with a more recent version of Itunes.
    Please tell me what should I do...

    Hello,
    I have the exact same problem... anyone knows what to do?

  • I would like to read a textbook that uses a browser. How can i read it using my i pad?

    I would like to read a textbook off my ipad. The textbook is a cd that uses a browser to work so i tune would only download the audio and video not the text. Does anyone have any suggestions if it is possible?

    You have to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
    An Update is a free change to add to the base code or as a bug fix within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to OSX 10.5 or the .11 added to OSX 10.4..
    An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    10.5 Leopard was written for Power PC Macs with code added to force it to run on Intel processors.
    10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs.
    10.7 Lion ($19.99) used some 32 bit which allows it to run on Late 2006 through Early 2008 MacBooks and a lot of 64 bit code.
    10.8 Mountain Lion ($19.99) is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It can only run on the Late 2008 through Mid 2010 MacBooks. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.
    10.9 Mavericks is pure 64 bit and is a free download from the App store.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard After you’ve installed that then download the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks which are downloads only.
    System Requirements for 10.6:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
      Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.

  • Mail.app suddenly can't read POP using SSL, but Thunderbird can

    Hi all -
    This afternoon, my mail configuration stopped working suddenly. I'm using Mail.app under 10.5.6, reading my mail from my own domain host, which is on a shared server managed by my hosting company. I read my mail using POP, SSL encrypted. This has worked, stably, for a very long time. Now, POP + SSL fails to connect. Disabling SSL makes it work. Setting up an IMAP account for the same domain works. Outgoing SMTP mail using SSL works. But POP + SSL doesn't. I set up an account in Thunderbird, just as a sanity check, and that account DOES work using POP + SSL. Then I set up an account on my wife's Macbook running 10.4.11, and it DOESN'T work with POP + SSL, and does work with POP without SSL.
    (When I reboot and start Mail.app, I get the familiar, "Untrusted certificate" dialogue, because the hosts mismatch: my host is www.myhost.com, but the certificate is issued for the machine that the hosting company uses to host my domain and a number of others, host789.hostingcompany.com. This has never caused a problem for me, and I have no reason to believe that it's the problem here - I get the same dialogue under Thunderbird, which works fine.)
    I'm assuming that something odd has happened on my domain host. The certificate was issued on 3/11, which is recently enough that I can imagine that I'm seeing the new certificate for the first time (maybe I'm grasping at straws here). In any case, it's gotta be some way that Mail.app is cranky about SSL that Thunderbird is not.
    I've got a help ticket submitted to my domain host, but I doubt they're Mac experts. So my question is: can anyone think of anything that they might want to check out which may account for this sudden change in behavior? Disabling SSL permanently is not an option.
    Thanks in advance.

    And just in case anyone asks, yes, I checked my mail account settings carefully with my domain hosting service and the settings appear to be correct (or, more to the point, there were some minor differences which I corrected, without any improvement in my situation).

  • T61 can't read audio CD's or MS Office install CD's

    I have a T61 with T7700 processor and a DVD Multi drive in it. I have been in contact with Lenovo tech several times and have tried multiple diagnostic attempts to find the problem. The computer has already been back to Lenovo in Tennessee once and was returned to me with the exact same problem.
    The computer cannot install MS Office 2007, 2003, or 1997. It cannot read audio CD's, yet it worked to burn a set of DVD system restore disks and worked to read and install the system from those disks.
    I temporarily replaced the DVD with a known good identical one from my daughter's T61 and it exhibited the same problem. Lenovo sent out a new set of restore disks (the tech suspected a bad original image) and I installed a new clean copy of Vista Pro. The same problem persisted so the computer was sent in to Lenovo for repairs.
    Lenovo (at my request) re-immaged the hard drive with a downgrade to XP Pro and removed a 3rd party ram stick from my computer stating that it was the cause of the problem. I received the computer back (very fast turnaround) and spent several hours updating all files on the XP install (as per their instructions) they provided to current. I then proceeded to try to install my MS Office. The drive would not recognize the disk. THEY FIXED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
    Today I had 3 conversations with a nice lady in Georgia and I ran a series of PC Doctor (F11 at boot) tests for her. CD drive always failed, one DVD test failed, but the "bad ram" passed all tests when I inserted it back into the computer. I burned 2 self -booting disks on my R61 (one CD and one DVD) for firmware update (from Lenovo's site as per the tech's recommendation) and tried to boot the computer from the CD. The computer failed to recognize the CD, but did recognize the DVD and booted into the update program. The update program confirmed that there was no firmware update available as I had learned from the Lenovo tech before the computer went in the first time.
    It would seem the drive is bad, however, that does not explain why the same problems exists when I put a known working drive that can read those disks into the drive bay. If it was the drive, it should be able to read the disks with the replacement drive.
    I suspect the motherboard is the source of the problem.
    Now I am waiting for the 2nd pickup box to be delivered to send it back (with all documentation of what has been tried enclosed) to Lenovo for a second attempt at repairing this computer.
    Does anyone out there have any ideas as to what the problem might be so I can include those ideas in the box and hopefully not have to send this in a 3rd time.

    That sounds pretty logical to me.  If you've tried another drive and it works, and reinstalled Windows, I don't know what's left.  Perhaps there something wrong with the connector in the machine.  You should try your drive in your daugther's machine, just to rule out it out.

  • Can a client easily use Webstart w/o Webstart installed?

    Hi,
    This might look like a stupid question, but pls bear w/ me ;-):
    Can a user click on a webstart link even w/o webstart installed, and the webpage would automatically detect:
    1. if a jre is installed?, &
    2. if webstart is installed?
    and install whatever is required, including the application, w/o further input from the user?
    That's what webstart should be all about, right?

    Thanks for your reply!
    Hmmm, that would serve my purpose ... except I think WebStart is said to be "able to determine" whether a JRE needs to be downloaded, given the instructions in the .jnlp file and already available JREs in the machine, whereas I think the PlugIn can only check for a particular JRE version (either that or the html becomes even much more complicated).
    About WebCream, is it much easier to use than WebStart/PlugIn?
    What you are describing is more like Java Plugin, not
    Java Webstart. The user will be automatically prompted
    to install the plugin if s/he doesn't have it yet, and
    other then that the functionality of the plugin is
    pretty much the same as that of Webstart.
    You can also take a look at WebCream, a product that
    turns Swing/AWT apps into websites so users don't even
    need a JRE to view your app.

  • I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

    I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
    I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
    Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
    Do you have any suggestions?

  • DVD Drive woes! Burns but can't read!

    GRRRR! This just started. I can burn blank DVDs in my drive (NEC ND-3550A - 1 yr. old), but when I put the burned DVD right back in, it's not recognized!!!!
    I have made sure the finder preference and system preferences are right. The DVD drive shows up under the profiler. Permissions have been repaired. Using same media I have been using all along (without any problems).
    I have tried other DVD videos & Data DVDs that I have burned on this machine (which used to work) - but now they don't.
    Commercial DVD's & burned CDs WORK fine!
    But the DVD Laser Lens Cleaner DVD- (that used to work) DOESN'T WORK anymore either.
    Every DVD that I put in the drive, pops up a message that the DVD is blank. The DVD player app. does NOT open.
    The DVD's that I tried work fine on my Powerbook.
    Ideas? Suggestions?

  • How can I script Adobe Reader updates using vbScript, PowerShell or C#?

    I would like to script Adobe Reader updates using vbScript, PowerShell or C#, are there any Adobe API calls I use to do this.  There are several different version that I support and auto update is not an option. I do updates at a specific time of the month. I would like to write a script that would download and install the update for the currently installed version of Adobe Reader (32 or 64 bit) for the version of the OS (32 or 64bit). I can detect the OS version and the Adobe version.  I can download updates but I do not want to hard code anything

    Sabian is correct.
    Most admins download the updates from the ftp site and push via AIP, GPO, SCCM, or some other method whenever it makes sense for them.
