My 10.9.0.1 internal mac was ruined after the installation of Windows Server 2012 on boot camp

Hi Everyone. I've been trying to install Windows Server 2012 on my boot camp. Well, soon after the 2012 was installed, my mac os 10.9.0.1 was ruined. When I pressed on the option key while the imac was booting, I can see the icon of "10.9.0.1 recovery". But after I chose it, the apple tried very hard to boot it up with a progress bar below the apple icon. The computer shut down itself after the progress bar reached the end. I've tried boot it up with the installation CD and tried to repair the Macintosh HD in Disk Uitilites but no use. It was said the hard drive cannot be repaired and better be reformat. Currently I can only boot up my mac from my SuperDuper external clone drive. Anyone could give me wise advices to fix this problem please?

The "wise advices" I can offer are:
Read the Boot Camp documentation before trying to reinstall Windows Server. Windows Server is not supported by Boot Camp
Erase and reformat your hard drive. Reinstall OSx then restore your data from your backup.
Use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox to install Windows Server

  • Hello Everyone. I have an older version of aperture, aperture 2, that I wanted to install on my MAC. I attempted the installation, and during the install there was a check to see if my computer was capable of installing  the software, which it was.

    Hello Everyone. I have an older version of aperture, aperture 2, that I wanted to install on my MAC. I attempted the installation, and during the install there was a check to see if my computer was capable of installing  the software, which it was. After the install completed I tried running the software, and I got a message telling me I can't run this version with my operating system. Does anyone know why I can't run the aperture software, and why I was allowed to install it without some notification.

    You can try your homeowner's insurance company; unfortunately, the hardware warranty was most likely voided. You can read it here:

  • How can I partition internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

    I recently purchased MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011) model with OS X v10.7.2 Lion installed. I've upgraded to OS X v10.7.3 Lion and updated all other software.
    I require Windows 7 for some Windows based softwares that do not support Mac OS X. Therefore, used Boot Camp 4.0 to install Windows 7 and then tried partitioning single internal HDD  to have 3 partitions (4 total including BOOTCAMP partition). Disk Utility created a 648.5MB partition and then I was able to create 3 other partitions of custom sizes. After applying these changes, I got an error message that said selected volume size is too small. I resized this 648.5MB partion to a custom size and had total 4 partitions, including BOOTCAMP.
    After reapplying these changes, BOOTCAMP partition was removed and I was left with only 3 partitions and empty space.
    I've tried several different ways to partition the disk, all in vein. Is there a way I can partition my single internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

    You can't do what you want with GUI utilities, which will only allow a total of 4 partitions due to the limitation of MBR needed to support Windows. Those four partitions: EFI System (hidden), Mac OS, Recovery HD (hidden), Windows. So with Lion, you only get two visible partitions if you're going to use Windows with BootCamp. You can't make anymore with the included graphical tools.
    If you need more partitions you'll need to use something like GPT fdisk (gdisk) to create the partitions in the GPT first. Then add the Windows partition only to the MBR and flag it as bootable. gdisk can be googled and downloaded for Mac OS X off sourceforge. It is not a GUI tool.
    You should read this:

  • My mac air died, after i reinstall from dvd drive, when i boot up again, i saw a prohibit sign showing up on the screen, then get to my logon screen.  After logon, it takes very long time to load any application.  pls help

    my mac air died, after i reinstall from dvd drive, when i boot up again, i saw a prohibit sign showing up on the screen, then get to my logon screen.  After logon, it takes very long time to load any application.  pls help

    OK. If you believe that.
    When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
    I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

  • How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

    How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

    Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
    After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
    Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

    You have been up for ~17 days, and you have 1.72GB of pageouts.  That averages out to one page every 3 seconds, and we will assume you re not working 24/7, so when you are using your Mac you are spending a lot of time paging to disk.  Disks are slow.
    As Kappy says, you are either concurrently running too may RAM hungry apps, or you have some apps that really want lots of RAM and you are running them a lot day after day.  Either "Stop That!", or get more RAM.
    You could also consider a Solid State Disk, but that is not as good as having real RAM and would be more expensive than RAM unless you Mac is max'ed out on RAM.  Of course you could do both.  More RAM and an SSD
    If you want to see the paging for yourself, start an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session, and run the command:
    sar -g 60 100
    which will report the pageout stats every minute for 100 minutes (adjust the numbers to suit your tastes).
    Now use your Mac as your normally would, including the times when it is running slow.  After you have experienced the slowness, go back and look at the 'sar' output.  If you have mostly zeros with maybe a trivial blip every once in awhile, that is noise and not a paging issue.  If you have some high numbers, then you are paging heavily at that time.  If you have sustained paging, even if small value, it is going to affect your performance.  High numbers will affect your performance even more.

  • Cannot output audio via headphone jacks with Mac Mini (2012) and Boot Camp

    Hi all,
    I have a brand new (2012) Mac Mini with a Boot Camp partition running Windows 7.  It's connected directly to an HDTV via HDMI cable.  I have external speakers hooked through the headphone jack on the back.  The speakers work fine if I'm in the Mac environment, but I cannot get the audio output to go through the headphone jack while in Boot Camp/Windows- it will only go through the speakers on the TV.  Any suggestions?  I think I've downloaded every driver I can think of, and the installation of Windows on the Boot Camp partition went well otherwise.  Thanks.
    John

    Nevermind, I was missing one driver.  Installed it, fixed.

    It maybe trying to boot from the incomplete install.
    Try starting your Mac while holding down the Option key, it should then list all the available boot drives including the Mac OS X one. Boot from the Mac one and then you can wipe the damaged PC one or set the Mac to stay booting in to OS X.

  • Windows Server 2012 Used: Error Message from Windows 7 PC: Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator.

    We are using Windows Server 2012 Standard installed in VMWare / Virtual machine and to access this we use vSphere client and Remote Desktop Connection / service was already enabled and was working fine with User PCs / laptops remote desktop into the server
    2012, until it gave an error message of: Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license.  Please contact the server administrator. whilst logging into the server. 
    We DON'T use Active Directory nor and we don't use domain and not looking to use it any-time soon. 
    I checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and it says the grace period has expired and the licensing mode for the remote desktop session host server is not configured.  I have checked the Remote Desktop Gateway has been stopped and I tried to start it and it
    resumed to stop, here I assume its where the licensing part comes in to re-enabled this. 
    I have been trying to follow these articles online: http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2013/03/27/deploying-remote-desktop-gateway-rds-2012/ and http://www.concurrency.com/blog/rds8-add-a-licensing-server-2/#Install  the overview part that I cannot get into,
    because I think we have to be is AD DS for this which we don't.  Is there a way around this for non domain / just standalone set-up?  Is it a must / requirement we need to be in a domain in order for Remote Desktop Connection to work? 
    Also, we have a Windows Server 2012 RDS CALs - 10 (software and licence key), will the licence key work for the Windows 2012 Server Standard?  We do not want to install the other Server mentioned which comes with CAL / licence key as its time consuming
    to reinstall other programs.  I have installed  Server role service of Remote Desktop Licencing and automatically installed other associated services needed.  in the RD Licencing Manager, the Server had a red cross and I "Activate Server"
    where I followed: http://www.concurrency.com/blog/rds8-add-a-licensing-server-2/#Install in Install Licences section and I have used the licence key of CAL - 10 mentioned above; it stated I have successfully completed the install licences wizard and displayed:
    10 Windows Server 2012 - RDS Per User CAL installed, and in the RD Licensing Manager the server turned into a green tick and added the licence.  
    I then tested the Remote desktop connection from my PC and the same error message was there and checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and the same error messages was there.  I haven't restart the services of Remote Gateway / the server itself; do I really
    need to reboot server?  
    Any advice / guidance would be very much appreciated and this is a urgent matter.  
    Thank you for your time.
