How do I install windows home server on my power mac?

My power mac g4 is the graphite version I think and I put the disc in my computer and booted up and I pressed alt on my windows keyboard ( i think its options on a mac keyboard) but when I got to the screen where it displays the options to boot from the only one I saw was the hard drive? I tried putting my xp disc in too and that didn't show up either?

If you just want to share files, that can be done with Mac OS X File Sharing. It is already available in "regular" Mac OS X, and all you have to do is turn it on.
For best performance, you can attain "near Hard_Drive" speeds using Gigabit Ethernet cabling and Gigabit Ethernet Switches. Wireless in quite a bit slower.

  • 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).

  • How do you view Windows Home Server 2011 Video on iPad 2

    I have uploaded iPhone 4s .mov files from iPhone 4s to Windows Home Server 2011.  The iphone can play these back but the iPad Safari reports downloading but does nothing after that.  Will not play video.   I can email the iPhone 4s video to iPad 2 and view the video but just not through web browser.

    Lancem631-
    I think your MOV files are compatible with the iPad, but are not recognized as being compatible in Safari.  This is something that should be reported by providing feedback to Apple at <iPad Feedback>.  If more people report the problem, Apple is more likely to fix it.
    To work around the problem, you can convert the MOV files to MP4, which should be compatible.  One program that can do this conversion is HandBrake.  <Download HandBrake>

  • Setting up Windows Home server 2011 on Microserver

    This is the first time I have played with a server although lots of experience of setting up desktops.  I have a HP proliant microserver and have added a couple of extra 500gb drives.  I have just installed Windows Home Server 2011 and can't see the extra drives in windows explorer.    I assume that I need to change something in the BIOS or am I missing something?  My aim is to set the extra drives up as some form of RAID or mirroring.  Any help welcome.
    Thanks

    You should use HP smart start DVD to install the Windows Home Server. If you are booting directly from the Windows DVD it would some times not detect the drivers because of the hardware compatibility issue. You should contact the the vendor and seek help
    from him.

  • Organizing Photos on a Windows Home Server

    I thought I had a great plan but am having second thoughts. I have a larger folder structure of photos on a Windows Home Server and migrated to Mac a few months ago. I've imported the photos (but UNselected "Copy items to the iPhoto Library" since I didn't want to duplicate the files). All seems to be working great and everything is well organized. I then discovered that the iPhoto library is still on my local HD (2 Gigs and counting). I assume this is due to items duplicated when i edit them using iPhoto. I really want only one file location and tried moving the iPhoto library to the server but then iPhoto became REALLY slow. I have a gigabit wired home network so don't think it's the network's fault.
    Any ideas on how I could fix this? Or automatically delete the original photos and move the modified ones into the original folders?
    Thanks in advance!

    remember iPhoto is a basic very inexpensive consumer photos organization program - you are trying to use it way above its capabilities or intent
    The iPhoto library works just fine on any drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - it does not have to be on your boot drive - it simply does not work on other formatted drives or with the originals not imported into it -- Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
    There are several Digital Asset Managers (DAMs) available for the Mac and one of them should work for you in the way you want to work

  • How to install windows xp on bootcamp on new Mac mini?

    How can i install windows xp on bootcamp on new Mac mini?
    I know that i should get an external usb optical drive, but buying such hardware for one use is a waste of money. Is there any other method?
    I currently own a MacBook white, and really like the configuration. I it possible to copy the image of bootcamp to new mac mini? If so, what will happen to hardware and drivers?

    Let me get this right:
    1- copy the exact image of the winxp installation dc to USB
    2- start bootcamp assistant, go through everything, till rebooting
    3- boot from USB (hold ALT and select the USB volume)
    4- go through winxp setup and done!
    Am I missing anything?
    I think that USB would be readable only on Mac os or winxp, but will the winxp installer read from USB?
    Correct me if wrong.
    Having read further websites, I am now a bit more dubious you can do this, at least with an XP installer.
    However if you have a USB memory stick and an existing Windows computer (even a Boot Camp one) or can borrow one you could try using the free WinToFlash utility to make a supposedly bootable USB memory stick of the installer. See http://wintoflash.com/overview/en/
    The problem is XP predates EFI firmare and XP only really knows BIOS firmware. As such (supposedly) XP would have problems booting from a USB device fully - it might lose connection part way through. Windows Vista and 7 do support EFI firmware.
    The other approach I mentioned of temporarily moving the hard disk from the Mini to the MacBook so you can use the MacBook internal CD/DVD drive would work - be careful of the cables. Fortunately a new Mac mini and an old MacBook are two of the easier models to get at the hard disk. See http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook-Core-2-Duo-Hard-Drive-Replacement/514/1 (they also list other MacBook models) and http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-Mac-Mini-Mid-2011-Hard-Drive-Replacement/ 6422/1
    Regardless of which method you try, the first step would be on the Mac mini to run Boot Camp Assistant and to create the partition for Windows. Then via either method try booting from a Windows XP installer.
    As I have taken Macs apart many times, I personally might go the swapping the hard disk over route.

  • 8.1 install error on Windows Home Server

    WHS, which is based on W2k3, is having the same install problem as regular Windows Server 2k3... it fails with the error that the OS must be at least XP SP2.
    Is there a new rev of the installer coming out soon to resolve this problem? I used iTunes as my central hub for music in my home and would like to run the new version.
    Thanks!

    I posted a response to the following thread detailing how I was able to get Itunes 8.1.0.51 to install on my computer running Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 Enterprise. It involves editing an MSI file but its a real simple fix that appears to be working just fine. It should theoretically work for you since as you've already noted, Windows Home Server is built of the same Kernel and support files as W2K3.
    Here's the thread in which I detail my fix:

  • Nstalling Windows Home Server 2011 on a ProLiant ML350e Gen 8 Server (Nothing appearing in Operating System Selection During Install)

    We just purchased Windows Home Server software that required a new server to be purchased. We went with the ProLiant350e Gen8 Server. IUpon starting up the new ProLiant server I booted from CD-Rom and got to the Windows Install program. I clicked  "Install
    A New Server" However, as soon as this page loads it gives me an error that says "Load Driver" "A required CD/DVD Drive Device Driver is Missing. If you have a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now." It gives
    me the option to browse or click okay. Browse only brings up the (x:) Boot drive and VID. It doesn't find the driver in VID Than if I click okay it gives me a message that says "No Device Drivers were found. Make sure that the Installation media contains
    the correct drivers and then click ok" I have tried to use smart provisioning but this fails as it cannot recognise the media from the DVD drive.
    Thanks in advance,

    You should use HP smart start DVD to install the Windows Home Server. If you are booting directly from the Windows DVD it would some times not detect the drivers because of the hardware compatibility issue. You should contact the the vendor and seek help
    from him.

  • How do I get MacBook Air to see Windows Home Server and show it in Finder?

    New to Mac (having used Windows for years) so this may be a dumb question. Have a MacBook Air (new) and have a home network with a Windows Home Server on the network. I can't figure out how to get the MacBook Air to see the Windows Home Server. It doesn't show up in Finder and I think my lack of understanding of Mac OS it inhibiting me from figuring out how to get the MacBook Air to see the server and show it so I can navigate to the files on it, etc. Any suggestions on how to do this or where I can go to read about it to figure it out?
    Thanks!!!

    If the Windows Home Server functions like a file server, try the following: From the Finder, Click the Go menu at the top of the screen, and choose Connect To Server. You will be presented with a dialog box to enter the server IP address.
    You may also want to open the Preferences for the Finder from the File menu, and make sure connected servers are supposed to show up on the desktop and in Finder windows.
    Disclaimer: I have not used a PC for 15 yrs, so this is general information. This is the process I use to connect to other Mac servers and to several online WebDav servers.
