  • Trying to install Windows 7 on Mac Mini Mid2011

    Am trying to install Windows 7 on Mac Mini (Mid 2011) OS X Mountian Lion (10.8.2) - 2.3GHz/i5/4GB/500GB with external optical drive attached. Using Windows 7 Ultimate (on USB Flash Drive) and Windows Support Software (on separate USB Flash Drive), as the external optical drive is not recognized when Boot Camp restarts to begin installation process. Here are some issues I am having:
    Going through BCA, when selecting the new partition to install on (Disk 0 Partition 4 BOOTCAMP), the warning of "cannot be installed...", so I select  Drive Options (advanced)/Format. Drive is reformatted to the NTSF, but loses the BOOTCAMP name. (Reformats to UNTITLED);
    Installation of Windows 7 proceeds, until after its third restart and the color bar with the light burst at its center appears at the bottom of the screen with messages stating "Preparing....". The computer then reboots and starts this endless boot loop.
    As it never gets to the part where the Windows Support Software is engaged, can I have both the Windows 7 Ultimate installation and the WSS on the same USB?
    I have been researching this issue, but with no difinitive solutions (other than snarky "You obviously didn't read the prior post for this issue..." & "Don't people READ previous posts?" responses.), other than one rude reply saying this was a known issues and there is a fix/driver for it, but no reference as to where this fix resides.
    Please if anyone has a solution, I would be very grateful for serious and considerate answers. If you feel the need to be rude/snarky/downright unhelpful, don't reply. This is a community help page, not your venting page.
    Thank you in advance for all serious replies.

    Right now I have 6 different systems installed. Windows XP, 7, and 8 plus Linux Mint, Commodore, and OS X Snow Leopard (for old times sake), all running on Mountain Lion.
    I recommend reading the user manual as it greatly helps getting through the steps, however an intuitive person should pick it up fairly easily.
    Thanks to BobTheFisherman for the link.
    There are other ways to get Windows on a Mac but I'm a big fan of open-source software.
    Give it a try. You might like it or it may not be your cup of tea.

  • I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini.  I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.

    I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini.  I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.
    According to Cruicial my mac mini could use:
    Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
    Package: 204-pin SODIMM
    Feature: DDR3 PC3-8500
    Specs: DDR3 PC3-8500 • CL=7 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1066 • 1.35V • 512Meg x 64
    Also According to Cruical my iMac uses:
    Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
    Package: 204-pin SODIMM
    Feature: DDR3 PC3-12800
    Specs: DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V
    I want to increase the ram in both computers. 
    So,  can I put the iMac ram in my mac mini and then I'd only have to buy ram for my iMac?  Naturally the ulitmate test will be when I actually install it,  but having an expectation of success or failure will allow me to plan on what to spend money on.
    Thanks,
    Bear

    Thanks for the responses.  I probably wont even try as my priority is Ram for the mac mini.  2 is not enough.  8 for my imac is okay for now. 
    Somewhere I thought I'd heard that faster Ram would simply clock at the lower speed.  It seems that I am incorrect.
    Thanks,
    Bear

  • I have two computers. my laptop has os 10.6.8. my mac mini has 10.5.8, hence no app store. can i buy lion on my laptop and then burn a dvd of it and install it on my mac mini or does it have to be installed on the same computer it is bought with?

    You can do it. This article from Macworld will be helpful to you:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/161087/2011/07/install_lion_over_leopard.html
    I recommend the "brute-force" method.
    Just make sure you have your data backed up properly!

  • Install win7 32bit on mac mini (server) Later 2012

    Hi,
    We received few Mac mini machines with this spec:
    - Later 2012
    - Server Edition
    - Processor i7
    - 4GB Ram
    - 2x1TB Disks
    - OSX 10.8.1
    I tried applying Windows7 32bit and managed to install it using BootCamp.
    When tried installing the drivers, Windows could not recognize them (the drives were created using BootCamp assistant).
    I read about it and found out that Windows7 32bit could not be installed on Later 2012 Mac minis.
    I have tried to update the Mac OSX version to the latest 10.8.2 (server 2.1.1 ??), after installing the updates I could not even install the Windows 7 32bit,
    the system prompts to use only 64bit version.
    I am trying to find out if this limitation (of using win7 32bit) is related to hardware or software...
    Does anybody know if this is only software related limitations for OSX 10.8.xx ?
    If so, is there a way to downgrade the system to 10.7.xx ?

    Thank you for the quick reply.
    I was hoping this is related to SW issue,
    ( since only after updating from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2 - the boot camp prompt for 64bit media requirement! )
    Unfortunately, we need it for R&D purposes so cannot use VM / Parallels / VB.
    Are you certain that this is hardware limitation ???
    This is crucial for us to know, since we can try to gap a software issue.
    Sagi

  • Need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based

    I need help need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based so if u kno how pls message me thanks
    <Email Edited by Host>

    You need to purchase the upgrade disk (it is a DVD). Then just put it in and run the installer. When it was first released it was $29 USD, do not know if the price has changed or not.
    The usual precautions about backing up your data apply. In fact I would recommend either making a Disk Image of your current boot drive or using something like Carbon Copy Cloner to copy it to an external drive. I upgraded 5 machines from Leopard to Snow Leopard without any issues, but better to be safe than sorry.

  • How to install windows on 2011 mac mini

    how do I install windows 7 onto mac mini? I have read people say to copy windows onto a flashdrive.  Then install from that.  Question is do I use my iMac to copy windows install DVD to flashdrive, then plug flashdrive into my mac mini and finish install with bootcamp? 

    If you want, instead of using a USB drive with the Windows installer (and as you have Windows in a DVD and not in a ISO file), I recommend you to buy an external optical drive to use it to install Windows on the Mac mini. Any external optical drive will work.
    If you need help installing Windows, print this file > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf

  • I installed utorrent on my mac mini and when i restart there is a question mark on the dock

    I have tried to install utorrent on my mac mini running mountain lion and each time it installs and runs fine until i restart the computer and it is no longer installed and a question mark is in its place on the dock. I am new to mac and do not know what I have to do to make sure the app remains installed after a restart.
    As a bit of extra info, there is a folder on the desktop when I install the app at first and after restart that folder is no longer there as well. I am assuming this is relevent but being new to mac I am not sure what settings adjust this. Thanks for any assistance.

    I figured out the problem but cannot erase this post so no more help is needed. I was pinning the open window of uTorrent as opposed to the app itself to the dock. Once I pinned the app it remained there after a restart.

  • After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"

    After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"
    The system logs reads:
    Mar 29 22:06:25 server servermgrd[82]: servermgr_web:  Error Domain=XSServerFoundationErrorDomain Code=4 "Failed to read settings: Exception:
              undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass
              ." UserInfo=0x7fc547901080 {NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to read settings: Exception:
              undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass

    To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect.  That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
    FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

  • Installed 8gb RAM on mac mini model A1347 but it won't recognize past 4gb, any way to fix this to recognize the full 8?

    Installed 8gb RAM on mac mini model A1347 but it won't recognize past 4gb, any way to fix this to recognize the full 8?

    What RAM did you buy?
    Try reseating the modules, they need to be pushed firmly into the slots before tilting them down into the clips.

  • Installing Snow Leopard on Mac Mini Server

    I recently purchased a 1Tb 4Gb Mac Mini Server, running Snow Leopard Server. I want to use it as a central repository for my other macs: storing music, movies, backup, screen sharing (it's hooked up to my 32-inch TV) but I also want to be able to run Logic Pro, Ableton Live, etc. I also have a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard Client, which contains all of my programs, plugins, data, etc. I realize that Snow Leopard Server does not have migration assistant, so I have tried to install a retail copy of Snow Leopard onto the secondary drive, but when it gets to the restart stage it crashes every time. I think this is a firmware issue, because the Mac Mini has a different hardware configuration to other macs. I do not have access to the mid-2010 Snow Leopard Client for Mac Mini which would allow me to install Client and use migration assistant from there. What I would like to know is:
    1/ Can I manually migrate my plugins/settings/programs to the server? If so, how? What is most crucial (and what I don't understand) is copying my audio units and audio programs (e.g. Logic Pro, Pro Tools). Because of the firmware issue, it seems more difficult than cloning my MacBook Pro to a time machine HDD and running from there... I would really like to purely clone my MacBook Pro, because I am very happy with the way it is set up.
    2/ Should I just wait for OSX Lion (July/August) which seems to be a combined server/client os, install that on both machines and run migration assistant from there?
    3/ Is there another method I can use? Something I am overlooking?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Thanks for your reply. I talked to the Apple Support again and they told me the server edition could only be used on that OS and if I wanted to use it as something else I could chose not to use the server applications, or buy a regular Mac mini. And that was all they said. Interesting since it was one of their sales persons who told me I could install Snow Leopard.
    Anyway, I got hold of a client disc and it all worked like a charm.

  • "Non-system disk Press any key to reboot"- Trying to install Win 7 on Mac Mini

    Hello. I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a new-model Mac Mini ('Late 2012'), which I just bought from Apple. [Specs: 1 TB Fusion drive, 2.6 GHz intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, OS X Mavericks (latest), Graphics: Intel HD graphics 4000, Screen: LG Flatron 24"].
    After following instructions on Bootcamp, I tried installing it through my external USB Apple Superdrive (DVD), but for some reason as soon as the system finishes getting things ready and reboots to begin installing Windows 7, I get a black screen with an error message as follows: "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". Pressing the keys on my keyboard does nothing (even though it's a wired model, not a wireless one.) I'm forced to do a hard shutdown using the power button and hold down the Option key in order to get the system to show the Mac HD where OS X is. It also shows the Windows DVD as another option, but when I select it and the system boots, I just get the same error message again. So I go back to a hard shutdown and reboot to go into OS X again.
    Not sure what to do, I did some online research and in one post in the Frequently Asked Questions for Bootcamp, it says for installing Win 7 and Win 8, the computer won't work with external USB drives (*totally nuts in my opinion - Apple has to fix this stuff if they want to entice Windows users into buying their sleek, quiet hardware). Instead, the post recommends creating a Windows 7 ISO file from my Windows 7 DVD and putting it on a USB thumbdrive that Bootcamp is going to use to put all the Apple/Windows drivers on for the installation process. I'm also told I have to unplug my Superdrive (no explanation given for why). So I do all this and get Bootcamp Assistant running again. Unfortunately, as soon as the system reboots after going through all the usual preparation steps, I get another black screen with a new error message: "Non-system disk Press any key to reboot". So I'm at a loss for what to do next.
    (I've also have an iMac that I bought more than a year ago that I also put Windows 7 on, with no problems that time. Go figure.)
    If anyone here has an good answer for how to proceed, I need to know. Thanks in advance!
