Emagic drivers & Boot Camp on a Mac mini

If you were to install Windows Vista on a Mac mini and had say a AMT8, would you be able to use that when under Boot Camp? Vista seems to require digitally signed Vista-compatible drivers.
LP7.2 already has Intel drivers.
Perhaps the next update will have newer drivers for if someone has to use Boot Camp-but mostly rarely.

I don't expect Apple to provide new Windows drivers for an obsolete Emagic interface, and an OS X driver won't work.

Install boot camp partition on Mac mini

How to install boot camp on a Mac mini? It ask for a bootable DVD which I have inserted in my Mac book pro, but it does not recognize the DVD. How can I install boot camp on a mini?

The Mac mini 2011 model does not have a DVD drive. It is possible to install Mac software over the network using another Macs DVD drive but this will not let you install Windows.
You need to either use an external DVD drive and connect it to the Mac mini, or for Windows 7 it is possible to copy the installer on to a USB memory stick, boot from the memory stick, and run the install from that.

I started Boot Camp on a MAC mini but then had a power failure after 30 secs :( Now when I start Boot Camp the option to install Windows 7 is gone. In it's place is Remove Windows 7. It seems to hang at Partitioning disk Can I recover?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because the Boot Camp volume was created, but your Mac hasn't been set up to start automatically from the Windows disc. Insert the Windows DVD and press C key while your Mac is starting to start Windows installation.
If you want to make sure that everything is correct, open Boot Camp Assistant and choose the option to remove Windows 7. Then, open that application again, select the option to install Windows 7 and you will be able to install Windows as usual

HT3777 why does my boot camp on my mac pro ask for a windows 7 disk

why does my boot camp on my mac pro ask for a windows 7 disk? Can I just install my vista home premium in and proceed?

Lion and Mountain Lion can only install 7 under BootCamp.
You can load Vista under a VM (virtual machine) such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox (Oracle ownload).

Can i use pen drive to install boot camp on my mac?

Can i use usb pen drive to install boot camp on my mac?

No. Windows cannot boot from nor be installed on an external drive. That said, in the Windows world there are ways to put a bootable Windows installer on a flash drive. But you will have to find those on your own.

How can I boot and run my Mac Mini on my 12" PwrBk display using firewire?

How can I boot and run my Mac Mini on my 12" PwrBk display using firewire?

bwhit:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
No reason why you should not be able to do it using Firewire Target Disk Mode. Here's what you do:
1. With both computers shut down connect both via firewire.
2. Startup the Mini and hold down "T" key immediately after chime.
3. Startup the PB and immediately after chime hold down Option key.
4. Select second HDD icon on the screen and click on the right pointing arrow.
5. Computer will boot from Mini's HDD.
Be sure to shut down PB completely before shutting down Mini.
Please do post back with an update or with further questions or comments.

How do I install Boot Camp on my Mac Book OS X10.4 (Book camp not included in the computer)

I have a Mac Book with OS X 10.4, i.e., Boot Camp is not installed on the computer. I had Boot Camp installed and was using Windows, but it crashed, so I want to remove it and reinstall. I have downloaded the Boot Camp 3.3 drivers. Where do I go from here?
Thanks!

Also: Boot Camp was a beta through v1.4 for Tiger (OS 10.4.6+). As a beta, it no longer exists and isn't supported (as of 9/2007)
You need at least Leopard (OS 10.5+) to get an official release, and to get the upgrade to Snow Leopard by itself. This can be hard-to-find outside of second-hand online markets. Leopard's last known box update carried 10.5.4. The 2008 Mac Box Set may have carried a later version . Either way, you'd get Boot Camp 2.0-2.2
Snow Leopard v10.6.3 is the current retail box update, and the last on DVD. This should give you Boot Camp 3.0.
The current 3.x update for Macs not qualified to run Windows 7 is 3.2. If you have a Mac that is Windows 7-qualified, you then update to 3.1 or 3.2--and finally to 3.3 only if you have Win 7 installed.
All Windows 7-qualified Macs can run Lion, and Boot Camp 4.x by extension. The only such Macs based on Tiger were:
MacBook Pro (mid/late 2007)
Mac mini (mid 2007)
iMac (mid 2007 aluminum finish)
All other Macs with Tiger do not qualify for Win 7, though some can run Lion while still running Boot Camp 3.2 as above.

Dual boot Windows 7 on Mac Mini Server

I have a Mac Mini server (2012) with two 1tb harddrives. One has osx Mavericks installed and I have been using it for the past 5 months. The other is completely empty. I was wondering if i could partition the empty drive and install Windows 7 on it from a disc? will I have to put osx on the empty drive, or can I just boot into windows at startup by holding option? I would like to keep about 800gb of the extra drive to use for extra storage of mac files.
Thanks for any help/suggestions you may have!
Elliot

You would think it would be possible to have one drive for OS X and the other for Windows but this is not (quite) the case. If you want the second drive to be as near as possible dedicated to Windows you need first to install or copy to it OS X including the BootCamp Utility. Run the Boot Camp utility and allocate the minimum amount of space to OS X and all the rest for Windows. Then as normal install Windows.
You could after you have got Windows installed erase the (small) Mac partition.
It is necessary to do it this was as the BootCamp Utility partitions the boot drive (and only the boot drive) in to a special scheme that makes it able to run Windows on a Mac.

Help With boot camp installing on Mac Pro with a ATi Radeon x1900 card

I go throw the boot camp setup with setting my drive and burning the cd drives from mac os... So when I re start the computer and start installing.. My video card is not working... The screen is all chopped and bars running every were, so I can see what Im doing to install vista ... So how do I change this is their some upgrade with the video card and how do I do that
Im using this setup
I have a mac pro 3.0 8 core
ati radeon x1600
using boot camp 1.3
have vista untilamte
Thank You

I don't use Bootcamp/Parallels/Windows but I saw in the Bootcamp forums that someone solved this issue by going to the ATI site and downloading and installing the X1900 drivers for Windows (http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html). They had to do this while in Windows (which was difficult) do to the garbled screen but managed to suceed. Not sure why they didn't download the trial version of Parallels and do the same thing with an ungarbled screen.

Boot Camp, Vista and Mac Pro X1900XT

Hey all,
I'm experceing what appears to be a common problem with the Mac Pro with X1900XT option and Boot Camp.
Vista installs file and everything is recognized except for the Radeo X1900XT card. When I boot up, I get what appears to be 16-colors displayed. When I tried to use my Boot Camp driver disk, everything installs fine except for the Radeon card.
I've also tried downloading and installing Windows Vista Catalyst drivers from ATI.com (version 7.3 as the release notes mentioned HDMI is supported by that version) and still the same problem and now my Vista crashes constantly before I log in.
Has anyone experienced? Suggestions or a workaround?
P.S - I also own a black macbook and the same copy of Vista worked flawlessly on it, even with Aero effects turned on.

The Mac Pro needs 4 FB-DIMMS minimum.
While this Mac Pro I own is the most capable, flexible and enjoyable machine I have ever owned, who says it will run circles around your friend's custom built? I suspect for many/most tasks you would be correct. Except for 3D simulation. PC video cards have higher performance clocks and drivers.
After using my MP 2.66 for 6 weeks as a PC and a Mac I have concluded:
This is a Mac, and should be used to run Mac OS (the real reason to buy a Mac). While it's great to be able to run XP and Vista on a Mac, for general purpose apps usage (geek nirvana), if high performance video cards are critical get a PC.
The Macs strength, is the dividends returned by it's tight integration as a platform. For example, I popped in a second video card and it just worked. No half dozen pop-ups telling me about new hardware and all that blather.
Once I get this sling off of my arm, I will be building a PC for heavy duty simulation.

Rebuild Mac Pro boot disk on a Mac Mini - possible?

Hello-
A friend has a Mac Pro 8-core with 10.6.2. The hard drive is showing some issues so I would like to rebuild the installation from scratch on a new drive. I have an intel mac mini and I'm wondering if it is possible to create a new boot disk (via external firewire enclosure) and do all the updates and software installation (Final Cut Studio, Adobe suite, etc) on the mac mini and then simply drop the new drive into the mac pro. Or is the software installation hardware specific?
Thanks for your help,
Mark

you shouldn't do that. first, there may be hardware problems due to difference in available hardware drivers if the mac pro is very new. also, if you do this the system will be identified everywhere including system profiler as mac mini. if you need to do it do it straight on the mac pro.

Moving boot disk to new Mac Mini?

I've an old circa-2007 or 2008 Mac Mini (Intel Core 2 Duo) running 64-bit OS X 10.8.4, and using an SSD as boot disk and an external Drobo array for most of my data. I just ordered new quad-core Intel Core i7 Mac Mini to replace it. When it arrives, I plan to ditch hard drive it comes with and move SSD from my old Mac Mini into it. If I simply move boot SSD from my old Mini to new one, will it simply boot and work? Or will I need to do some magic to get it to boot properly? Or shold I start preparing for re-install and restore from backup workflow?

Well, I have 10.8.4 already installed on the boot disk I want to move to newer mini, and late-2012 mini shipped with 10.8.1. So I guess I should be fine on that part.
Not necessarily, the original build versions are different.
What worries me most is: When OS X is installed, will all the drivers and/or other hardware specific components be installed, or does the installer only install compnents needed by hardware at the time of installation?
I would setup the new Mini, move whatever into it's existing drive and then erase and copy all of that to the SSD before installing it into the Mini.
Replacing disk in mini (including late-2012 model) is non-trivial, but doable. Why on earth Apple makes replacing disk so hard is beyond me; disks die way too often (i.e. disks are consumables), meaning users have real and legitimate need to be able to easilly replace them. Yet something that is easy 5-minute task that requires only Philips #2 screwdriver with average PC tends to be an full evening project with Mac Mini. Sigh. At least it seems 2012 models doesn't require creative use of putty knife like my old Mini required.
The unibody models from 2010 on are easier to work on than the older ones.

I'm not trying to be a party pooper or anything here, but personally I wait until the warranty is up on my Mac's and Mac Mini's before doing anything more than upgrading RAM.

Boot Camp access to mac partition

Hi.
I have Windows 7 Pro on Boot Camp, which is also on a server 2003 domain. When the windows network users log in, they can access the Mac Partition. How do I prevent this from happening?
I know it is read only, but I prefer to have them access only the Windows partition when logged into Windows, and only have them access the Mac partition, when they are logged into Snow Leopard.
Thank you!

Rename AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys
By doing the following you will disable HFS mount / read mode on windows XP, Vista, 7.
Navigate to c:/windows/system32/drivers/AppleMNT.sys, rename the AppleMNT.sys file to something like AppleMNT_keep.sys or something of your likings.
The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern. It seems to happen on many systems.
You find it in Windows/system32/drivers/AppleHFS.sys
Renaming to AppleHFS_disabled.sys will avoid the blue screens until you have found another solution or Apple updates Bootcamp 3
After renaming both myself because they are no longer "*.sys" or something? they are gone. In my case AppleHFS prevented Windows Backup from running to end and was causing error "some files skipped" and while some might find reading convenient, I prefer Windows not have even read-only access.
You can probably do better with MacDrive8.

A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....

Can't uninstall or re-install Vista drivers (Boot Camp 2.1)

I'm having problems with my MacBook Pro's bluetooth support in Vista under Boot Camp so I thought I'd try to re-install the Boot Camp 2.1 drivers. However, whenever I run the setup program, it just gives me a useless error message saying it encountered an error before it could start the install, and to please try again later. Rebooting doesn't help.
So I thought maybe I could uninstall all the Apple stuff then start again. But when I try to uninstall "Boot Camp services" from the programs and features control panel, it starts to uninstall, but then gives up silently as it nears the completion of the "gathering information" dialog.
So I can't uninstall or re-install this thing. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

It may be too late, but have you tried going into the drivers using Vista's control panel and either removing the drivers or reverting to precious drivers?
