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.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Lion uses Recovery to reinstall OS X. Press Command and R keys when your Mac starts, open Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Lion. The other Mac has probably got its hard disk damaged, so take the Mac to an Apple Store

How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro/?

How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

You have several options.
1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there. A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.

2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs. The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.

3. Use Wine / Winebottler to run the Application without the need for a complete Windows installation.

Can iMac boot and run SUSE Linux?

I have a requirement for an SLES 11 server. I really don't want to buy another machine for this so I was wondering if it was possible for an 2010 iMac C2D to boot and run SLES? What I would like to do is use an external FireWire drive as the boot & O/S device. Is that possible too?
My only other option is to create a Fusion image but I'm going to need 500 GB or more of disk space and I'd rather deal with that in a native environment.
Thanks

How can you find serial number on mac mini running bootcamp Windows 7?

I am using a Mac mini and it is running bootcamp Windows 7, and I want to be able to look for the serial number using the Windows 7 side without booting up to the Mac OSX partition. can anyone help me out with this?

I don't think there is a way to get the Mac serial number in Windows. You could carefully lift up the Mac and look at the printed serial number on the outside of the Mac without having to turn off the computer, otherwise it would be necessary to boot in to Mac OS X.
If you still have the physical packaging the Mac came in the serial number would also be printed on that.

How can I find out if my mac mini running snow leopard can be upgraded to mountain lion?

I have a mac mini with sufficient ram for the mountain lion OS however, I am unable to determine if the machine was created in early 2009. Is there a way to make sure my machine will take the upgrade without purchasing the operating system first?

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

How can I build and run CDC in Red Hat Linux?

I downloaded the CDC and CVM(j2me_cdc_fp-1_0_2-src.zip), and wanted to build a VM in Red Hat Linux. But I can't find the Makefile in the "build" directory. How can I build it?

You should be able to run a J2SE VM with the CDC jar as the bootclasspath, I think.

HT204408 Internal FaceTime error occurred. How can I fix and run FaceTime on my MacBook running 10.6.8

How can I fix face to run on my MacBook running 10.6.8. The error is "internal face error occurred.

I was getting the same error, and I could not find the file to copy that others had mentioned. However, I found a fix that works for me. I did a "control + click" on the facetime icon in the dock, selected "options" then "remove from dock". Once it was gone, I opened "launchpad" opened Facetime from launchpad, then when the icon was in the dock I did another "control + click", "options" and then "keep in dock". Now I have no problem opening it. Hope this helps someone else.

How can I compile and run other java classes from within an application?

Hello there everyone! I really hope that someone can help me. I am writing a program that must be able to compile and run other java classes that are in different files, much like development environments like Kawa or Forte allow you to do.
There has to be a way of doing this ( I hope!! ), but i can't seem to find it!!
I have tried using this command to compile:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec ("c:\\programs\\javac className.java");
...and this one to run:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec ("c:\\programs\\java className");
...but neither works!!! I can compile and run classes that are in the same file as my application, but I can't get it to work at all for files in different directories or files.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help me - i've run out of ideas, and i need this to be working in 3 days!!!
Thank you very much for any help anyone can give me, I really appreciate it!! Thanks again!!
Adrian ( ...in distress!! )

public class JavaCompiler{
   public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception{ //sorry bout the laziness
      if(args == null || args.length != 1){
         System.out.println("Usage: java JavaCompiler MyClass.java");
         System.exit(0);
      String className = args[0];
      Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
      Process p = rt.exec("javac " + className); //consider setting cpath for this
      p.waitFor();
      //now try to run after it is done.
      p = rt.exec("java " + className.substring(0, (className.length() - ".java".length()));
      p.waitFor();
      //do some other stuff
}This should get you going. You may consider looking into the System.getProperty() method in order to determine the type of OS it is running on in order to findo out what command to run. I know that the sun tool listed above is nice, but by my understanding the sun tools provided are not guaranteed to stay the same. I'm no expert on this matter, but that is one of the reasons there is no API documentation for those tools. Also, I don't believe those tools come packaged with the JRE. (Of course if you are making an IDE it will be expected that the user has an sdk installed. Good luck with figuring this thing out.

How can I create RAID 1 on Mac mini server just now from box.

I bought my Mac mini server two days ago and decided that 1Tb + 1Tb HDD are very good for RAID 1 (mirroring).
Thinking - doing ... Open Disk Utility, try to change and create RAID. Nothing. Try to reinstall OS X - recovery part are on disk all time.
Does anybody can help me to create what I want and how to do this with minimum energy. Thanks a lot.

Start from an Internet Recovery which boots you into it's own Recovery Partition. From there use Disk Utility to put your 2 drives into RAID 1. Reinstall OS X from the Internet Recovery once you have done that and install everything else as you need to.
Be aware that RAID volumes do not have their own Recovery Partition so you will need to either have an external drive with an RP to boot into else you will need to use Internet Recovery each time (which is around a 650MB download).
