How do I install Windows 8 on Mountain Lion (mac mini) 2010 Server using bootcamp with out Optical Drive?

I have a 2010 Mac Mini server running 10.8.4 (12E55). I just bought a brand new copy of Windows 8 from micrsoft. I have tried using boot camp and it will not recognize a burned DVD in my remote optical drive on my laptop running windows 7 or my macbook running Lion 10.7.5. I have had Microsoft on both of my computers remoted in for about 8 hours and they tried just about everything that I've tried.
Microsofts tech support has made me a bootable DVD and a bootable Flash Drive through remote desktop (awsome good job microsoft tech support). I have even tried formatting my mac mini's second 500GB hard drive to FAT32 using this whole disc as my windows partition. I know that when I go to install windows 8 it is going to reformat the drive to NTFS but all the articles that I've found, say this is what you have to do to get the drive formatted properly to get the ball rolling and get windows will fix it when it goes to install by reformatting to NTFS.
Ok so right now I have my second 500GB hdd on my mac mini formatted to FAT32 and I have tried to reboot holding my option key like I do on my mac book. If I want to boot to a different hdd on my macbook all I do is hold the OPTION key during start up and you get prompted to choose one of the bootable disc that is on your computer. Well if I put my USB drive which is bootable on my macbook into my macbook and do this right now its not showing up.
Now I just put the DVD that they made me in my macbook and it shows up as bootable disc. But the USB doesn't. (1 hour later) I just got microsft to remake the USB drive and am going to try that again so ta ta for now and I'll come back on to post to tell you if it works.

Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox are available from their respective sites. Read their installation instructions which explain how to install Windows.

Mac wont start after download

After my computer wasnt starting i put in the disc and repaired my disk by deleting all my files therefore my mac needed to reinstall lion but after it finishes downloading it just goes back to the disc utilites menu... HELP

Did you erase your internal drive? What 'disc' did you use? Did you boot into your Recovery partition, use Disk Utility to reformat your boot partition and install Lion via the Internet recovery?
Need a little more information...

Using CS5.5 Master Collection for MAC, I can't use "Replace with After Effects composition"

Using CS5.5 Master Collection for MAC, I can't use "Replace with After Effects composition" because I updated AE to CS6 (but only AE). Even that AE CS 5.5 is still installed, it won't connetct.
How can that be fixed?
Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

Thanks for the answer: I tried different ways (after I read your suggestion) but it always changes back right away ... I can't change it.

Maybe try associating AE project files with 5.5 instead of 6.

How can i change back to os after using bootcamp

Hi, Im the proud owner of a early 2008 mac, I installed windows 7 on my mac using bootcamp. I wanted to clean up my mac by resetting it, there was nothing I really wanted to keep so thats why I wanted to reset. I went to the setting screen you know the one if you can choose when your starting the mac. I had 2 disks one with os x one with windows after using bootcamp you can seperate your disk in 2 new ones. But after I deleted the one with os x, I was ready to re install os x mountain lion. It seemed to work but after restarting my mac, I couldnt change to os x anymore. And cant remember my password for windows and cant even get a new password (Im supposed to have a password disk for windows or something like that?) So Im really stuck here.
Can you help me please?

Try rebooting with the Option key depressed and see if this brings up the bootable devices which includes OS X which you can then select to boot from.

My Mac wont start! what can i do?

My Mac wont start! After i restarted it for a update it just crash when i try to start it what can i do?

What and why aren't people doing something simple that has worked for the last 10 yrs:
Clone your system before you ever apply updates
Always have a working bootable backup (or two)
Keep the prior version on the shelf
Keep the combo updates around also.
It is not hard or rocket science.
There is no mechanism to undo rollback or restore check points. No utility to sandbox updates and revert as they sometimes go wrong. Things that are overdue.
MicroMat made having an "eDrive" partition s sinch to do and was its own recovery/emergency boot partition.
Carbon Copy Cloner has been around since 10.2.2, and later SuperDuper and others, Clone X etc.
A clean install is simple. Keeping your emergency boot drive for maintenance updated but with just Apple OS and essential drivers.
Use Safe Boot beforehand. People used AppleJack before updates or at first freeze or sign of trouble.
If you have more than enough room for TimeMachine, then a couple options:
Set aside 35GB is more than enough for emergency boot maintenance (Lion Recovery is nice but doesn't have everything your toolbox might want or need)...
Set up a partition large enough for your working system, again 40-80GB should be enough, you won't clone everything as you can leave your home account folders for TimeMachine if you want (but do want to copy your home Llibrary ~/Library). perfect job for Carbon Copy Cloner.
Setting up an external boot drive is 101 along with TimeMachine.
Not a good idea to have all your eggs in one basket two or more backup drives is better but...
TimeMachine - 350% your total files and changes needed to have file history archived,
Emergency OS
Clone OS
I prefer a 1.5TB minimum.would do fine for most.

Intel imac wont start after changing permission

intel imac wont start after i changed my hard drive permission to let me read and write, then i clicked apply to all enclosed files.i turned it off no problem. then it never started up again in os x. the grey screen with apple logo appears,then after a minute it restarts, and will keep doing that if i let it. i can start up in windows xp, but i dont know how to do anything in windows xp that will affect os x. i can use the hard drive in target mode, but i cant figure out how that can help me. i use a macbook to view target disk. ive spent hours looking through help and support. finally i do not have the os install disks. PLEASE HELP!

My apologies for the inept instructions.
Restart normally. Open Terminal in the Utilities folder. Paste the commands in the Terminal application to avoid typos:
sudo su
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again. Now paste each of the following at the prompt and press RETURN after each.
chown root:admin /Applications
chmod 0775 /Applications
chown root:admin /Library
chmod 1775 /Library
chown root:admin /System
chmod 0775 /System
chown root:admin /Users
chmod 0775 /Users
chmod -R -N /Applications
chown -R :admin /Applications/*
Again, my apologies.

770-G45 wont start after ShutDown

Recently installed MSI 770-G45, problem starts when i regulary shutdown comp. from WinXP or Win7 64-bit.Computer wont start after that, like ther is no power, fans dont spin, no bips, NOTHING. I got to unplug power cord and plugg it again into psu, after that it starts normaly.
Strange thing is that computer starts normally when i manualy shutdown system(holding the power button on the case).There is no exception, starts perfectly evry time after manual shutdown, no need to unplugg powercord.
Rest of my components> Phenom II X2 555BE, Kingston 2GB 1333mhz, Sapphire 5770, HDD WD 250gb,PSU Corsair TX 650w.
Tried to change power cord, tried other PSU, other case (tought its maybe power button but no), changed mobo battery, installed several OS versions (XP, Win7) and still dont have solution.
MS 7599 ver. 2.0
Bios version 10.2
MoBo is new bought it 3 days ago.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

First: It is important to clear CMOS after a BIOS update. Unplug power cable before the clearing, as there can be no power in the system
Second: Rebuild the system, but outside the case. Use only PSU, motherboard, processor, one stick of memory and graphics card. If it works better then, you may have a short, from a stand-off too many, or poorly isolated wire somewhere.
But I second it sounds like a motherboard problem. You'd better contact the one who sold it to you.
Oh, an oldie thing! You will need to install Windows again, with the new motherboard and all.

Safari wont start after i installed avi player any suggestions?

safari wont start after i installed a avi player any suggestions?

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

MY mac wont start past the gray screen. I tried starting on safe boot, single user user mode , recovery mode. Everything it gets stuck on the gray screen i even tried reinstalling it , same thing what should i do? it lets me reinstall sometimes Sometimes.... it is weird.

orshikhfromsc,
boot from the Mac OS X Install DVD that originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro (by holding down the C key as it starts up). When the desktop appears, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and erase your internal disk. After it’s been erased, reformat it. After it’s been reformatted, exit Disk Utility and reïnstall the version of Mac OS X from that DVD onto your internal disk. After that version of Mac OS X has been reïnstalled, boot from your internal disk and run Software Update to get it up-to-date within that version; that should allow you to redownload and reïnstall Mavericks, if desired. If Mavericks is reïnstalled, run Software Update again to get it up to date.
If you no longer have the two grey installation DVDs, you can purchase a replacement set from either Apple or iFixit.

Windows 8 wont start after format

Hello,
So i decided to format my pc for the first time since i build it, i did everything as usual but it wont start, tried the way xmad posted but its the same, im using the same iso i used the first time, after the installer says its going to restart to complete the instalation, the pc reboots and then nothing happens, i can move the mouse pointer but the screen is black, this happens when i boot from the hard drive with the prefix "UEFI".
if i boot from the hard drive without the prefix "UEFI" i can see the windows 8 logo loading but then its the same black screen.
PC specs:
i7 4770k
Msi z87 mpower max
120gb ssd
16gb ram
850w psu
radeon hd7970
Any ideas?

No i didnt update the bios.
Update: I got a copy of windwos 8.1 and tried installing it the same way and it worked(still havent updated the bios).
i dont know what was the problem with win8, i dont know if the iso file got corrupted which is very rare since i used it like 2 weeks ago in another pc, it cannot be the usb stick (i used the same usb stick to install win 7 and 8.1) and also tried installing it from a dvd.
I think im going to stay with this windows, thanks for replying.

The image on my mac wont display on the tv with the firewire

the image on my mac wont display on the tv with the firewire

There's no such thing a a FireWire to HDMI converter. Do you mean Mini DisplayPort?
Are you trying to extend your desktop onto the TV or mirror it? Have you gone to System Preferences, Displays, and either clicked the Mirror Displays option, or used the Arrangement tab to move the two screens into the correct alignment? There should also be a Detect Displays button somewhere in the Displays panel.

Battery full - Mac wont start. Heeeelp!

I just purchased my MacBook a month ago and I love it. Now Im having a problem...
I just had this problem today. The battery is full but my Mac wont start. But when I connect it to the power adaptor - it will start. Should I change something on the Energy saver option?
I've tried to remove the battery and placed it back, but the problem is still the same. I need your help please... thanks in advance.

Yup, looks like you've joined the Macbook Shutdown/won't boot club. Mine did the same after the random shutdown problem. I reset the PMU and NVRAM and PRAM and suddenly it wouldn't boot or operate on battery. Let me guess, it works fine on the adapter, but when you pull the plug it immediately shuts down, right? Even though the battery is fully charged? I'm also from DK. Did you buy yours at Humac? Mine is being repaired as we speak, well actually it's waiting for parts (new logic board and battery) but it's taking forever. Turned it in on july 25th and it is still waiting for parts. My advice is to demand a new one, don't hand it in for repair, because I seriously don't think they know what is wrong yet. What week is your Mac(Check the serial-number and post it)?
I've heard that a lot of people got the LB replaced, but soon after the problems started again.

SSMS wont start after Installing SQLServer

Hello,
After SSMS wont start after updating VS2012. I have unistallled and installed a number of times but the error message I keep getting indicates that Visual Studio shell Isolated is missing. I have tried to install this directly from the set up dvd but
no success.
Also I noticed that VSShell is missing in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn.
I am assuming that this has something to do with it.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
Thank you.
here is the error message received
