IPhoto won't install on my new mac mini

All other apps installed fine. I have the dual-core 1.66GHz intel with 1GB of factory installed RAM. When i tried to start iphoto it said "application is incomplete or damaged". I tried twice to install iPhoto again using the bundled software install on the DVDs but i got errors both times. Could i have a faulty DVD disc? here is the install log error message any help would be appreciated...

IPhoto - crash on startup on brand new mac mini

Hi
Just bought a new Mac Mini, ran migration assistant to move all my files over to the new machine. My iPhoto library is stored on an external hard drive.
Every time I launch iPhoto on the new Mac, it immediately crashes.   The first 30-40 lines of the crash report is below. I have deleted and reinstalled iPhoto with and without the external hard drive connected, no change in result.    Any advice would be appreciated.

Try reinstalling iPhoto from the App Store. You may have to move iPhoto to the Trash bin in the Dock (but don't empty yet), go to the App Store and download and install it again.
If that doesn't help you'll need to boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system.
Lastly you have 90 days of free phone support from Apple so if all else fails call them.

IMovie won't run on brand new Mac Mini (Quartz Extreme message)

I just bought a new Mac Mini. The latest 2010 Mac Mini.
I have a Samsung 23" LCD monitor.
I tried to open iMovie, and got the following message:
iMovie requires a graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards does not support Quartz Extreme.
I'm new to the Mac world. Shouldn't Mac software run on Mac hardware?
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello All,
I'm actually on my second Mac mini in a month (I returned the first one) with the same problem. I didn't have Perian installed, and certainly not Windows Media. I also have the problem that when I turn the computer on, it freezes on the Apple logo and the spinning gear stops turning. I have to shut down, then when I turn computer back on, it goes directly to the log in window. It will work fine from there. And most times, iMovie will start no problem. I hope that I don't have to return this one as well, but I might have to.

I have Aperture 2 in CD and want to install it in new mac mini

Hi,
I have Aperture 2 in a CD which I installed in my old "white" mac book about 6 yeas ago.
I have now bought a new mac mini and I want to install Aperture again. Of course the new mac mini does not have a CD port.
Question is: how can I download Aperture 2 from the Store so that I enter the software serial number and buy the required upgrades on top of it.
thanks

Problems installing OSX Lion - new Mac Mini 2011

Hi!
I'm having major problem with my brand new Mac Mini.
I wanted to upgrade it right away after reading so many succeful upgrading reports on various forums so I bought a 120GB Intel 320 SSD disk and 2x4 GB of Kingston 1333mhz ram. I swapped the drives right away and idiotically used to original drive in a case to create an external installation USB-drive (my 4GB USB drives didn't work).
I then created a bootable USB-disk with the external original drive and tried to install but only get the circle with slash after selecting the drive in the "options" menu. If I remove the USB-drive I get a flashing folder icon. If start holding down Command + S I get a message saying that the "version of OSX is not supported on this platform".
I also tried using the Recovery Assistant HD to create a bootable recovery tool but that gives the same results.
In short:
I can't install OSX Lion on a brand new Mac Mini with upgraded HD and Ram. I don't have the original installation anymore.
Am I out of luck?

Internet Recovery solved this problem. Option+Command+R.

IPhoto won't open with the new Mac update

I just installed the new update for my desktop mac. iPhoto now wont open and there is a big circle with a line through it over the icon. When I try to open this application it says "you can not open iphoto because it is not supported on this type of mac" I have had my mac for over 2 years and use iPhoto everyday. Any help?

iPhoto versions older than 9.5.1 are incompatible with Mavericks. Version 9 or later should be eligible for a free upgrade to the current version in the App Store. Versions older than 9 will need a paid upgrade.

Logic 7 won't install on my New Mac

Hi,
I have version 7.2 of Logic Pro which I've enjoyed using for many years.
I recently purchased a MacBook Air and want to continue using Logic Pro. However, when I tried to install it, I got the following message:
"you can't open the application LogicPro.mpkg because powerPc applications are no longer supported".
I take it that my new operating system (Mac OS X Lion 10.7) is too new for my version of Logic.
Without spending loads of money on a new version of Logic, is there a way around this problem?
I understand that I could purchase an upgrade, BUT - as I haven't been able to even install the version of Logic I do have, will an update be of any use?
Many thanks!
Alex

As the error states correctly: your computer is new, has an Intel CPU and Lion. You were using a version of Logic released in Feburary 2006 - 5 years old. That one can't run on a different CPU, new OS version, new hardware.
Time to get an upgrade:

Apples upgrades don't require to install older versions, clean install, just the old serial number/XSKey is needed for the installation.

Installing Windows 7 - New Mac Mini no Optical Drive

Hello,
I would like to install a Windows 7 on a new 2011 no optical disk mini.
I am aware of how to do that, and what do I need to prepare, becouse there is not a optical disk in a mini.
Any ideas on if I can buy (download) a Windows 7 from www.microsoft.com and how to installed a downloaded package of Windows 7?
Anybody has successfully installed Windows 7?
Is there are way to install Windowx XP SP2 from CD (wireless shared cd from other computer)
Thanks

I think your best option is either buy an external dvd drive or if you have access to another Mac that does have a dvd drive, boot it into firewire disc mode (restart holding down the F key until you see a FireWire logo), using the appropriate firewire cable (depends on what kind of firewire connections the Macs have, 400 to 800 or 800 to 800) connect the two Macs together and the Mini will see the drives of the Mac booted into FireWire disc mode. Insert dvd and go about installing Windows...
On another note, I think Lion's version of BootCamp requires Windows 7 to install. If you already have Windows setup on a Mac with SnowLeopard and upgrade then it will work as normal, something to do with installing requires Windows 7.

Iomega SuperSlim drive won't burn on my new Mac Mini.

Hello,

New Mac Mini Server, two Hard drives, Can I install an older Mac OS on the second drive and switch start up disks to run PowerPc applications?

New Mac Mini Server, has two Hard drives, could I install an older Mac OS on the second drive and switch start up disks to run PowerPc applications?

I haven't purchased a Mac Mini at this time and I may not if I can't use it as a non server. I need to update my system I would be better off buying a new Mac with Snow Leopard the last app that will run Rosetta. The Mac Mini Server has a quad 2.0 processor and 4 GB RAM and two internal hard drives and should out perform my dual 1.25 G4. I can run PPC apps on my G4 but it is 8+ years old and seems to be getting noisy. I don't want to tie myself to another old machine. I want a machine that will work with Intel Apps I was hoping that the two hard drives would allow me to boot from the second with Snow Leopard and use Lion on the first drive to be able to keep up to date with all my other universal apps and Mac OS up grades. The application I use the most is my CanvasX app with drawing & vector effects, text & typography, sprite technology, painting, image editing, and multimedia tools are all in this one app but will not be updated to run Intel apps. I am frozen in time because my most valuable Application won't be updated and Apple has cut me off by not supporting PPC in Lion and onward; Apple used to backward support but I guess that they are no longer as user friendly and concerned with a happy user. I have always been a loyal Mac user and I will not migrate to Windows under any circumstance; I hate windows!
Thanks for your prompt response,

Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files. If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

New MAC Mini w/OSX Lion - will not boot from USB or external optical drive when attempting to use BootCamp to install Windows 7?

The University recently purchased 6 brand new MAC minis for deployment in classrooms I support. I am attempting to create a dualk--boot environment comparable to our existing computer systems, only these machines wil be running MAC OS X Lion and Windows 7. After following the procedures outlined in the BootCamp on-screen prompts, and attempting a few techniques I found in the tech support user-base, I am still unable to get the MAC mini to boot up from the USB flash drive, or from an external optical drive, so that I can complete the installation of Windows 7. When using the Boot option key at start-up, all devices are displayed suggesting that they are being properly recognized, however the computer boots to a black screen with an error message indicating that "No bootable devices are found - press any key to continue." I am able to boot into the computer's internal drive, but not from any external devices. I fully expected that the semi-automated BootCamp procedure properly prepares the USB device for booting, and for installing the Windows 7 OS.

Meh, with the price they take for a drive in Denmark, I don't think it's worth it... They take around 160 $ for the drive (that's the cheapest MacBook drive I could find), and I am not even sure that's the one I need.

How do I install Windows on a new Mac Mini (w/o optical drive?)

The new Mac Mini does not have an optical drive and I would like to install Windows with Parallels Desktop 6
Any ideas? Can I put the iso on a USB drive or mount a NAS?
Thanks for ay help!
Enzo

You can burn an ISO of a bootable disc back to a DVD, but not to a USB device. I don't know if Parallels is able to install from an ISO, but it may install from an external drive. This is why you should read the documentation for Parallels or ask at their tech support site.

Got Lion with new Mac mini and want to install on imac

Hi,
I just bought a new mac mini with lion. and now i want to install Lion on my imac.
Is there a way to register my purchase of lion on appstore so i can download it from there?

You'll have to pay for the App Store version of Lion needed for the iMac. The license for Lion that you get with a new computer is different from the App Store license, and doesn't provide for multiple installations.
