No OS 10.8.2 on new mac?

All along November I get the notice to update iPhoto to Version 9.4.2. When I try  to do so, I get the message that my system is not eligable for this update. My system is a brand new Mac mini(late 2012). So a have no iPhoto running because my my mediathek has been running under 9.4.2 before I migrated it to the Mac mini. As OS 10.8.2 also is not istallable on my system, I am asking if there is way to work around this. 

Hi Fred, they pulled the special Mini 10.8.2 update for unknown reasons, but...
See post above this one...

Re: Mac Mini (late 2012) waiting for 10.8.2 update solution but can't use iPhoto or Aperture (require 10.8.2 when open) in the meantime, any ideas? Nov 28, 2012 8:11 AM (in response to MarcbertOSX)
I finally decided to to install the pulled version still available on softpedia.com.  It updated without any issues and was able to install and run the latest versions of aperture, iphoto, and imovie.

  • New Mac Mini and Analog TV

    I just bought a new March 2009 Mac Mini. I am trying to hook it up to and old analog TV. The TV has SVIDEO and RCA jacks. I purchased the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter only to find out it will not work with the new model. It seems the new model only outputs DVI-D and not DVI-I.
    I am trying to hook up the mini-dvi to SVIDEO on the back of my TV and then for the audio connect them to the TV with RCA jacks. Is there any way to get the new mac mini to work with an analog TV?
    Thanks

    When you cite "VGA converter to RCA" do you mean a little box that actually converts the signal down to RCA/composite, like this:
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011407&pid=4724&seq=1&format=2
    or simply an adaptor like this one:
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10401&cs_id=1040113&pid=2509&seq=1&format=2
    The crucial thing I'm waiting to find out is whether the new Minis provide ANY analog video signal to either of the video ports at all (which would seem to be the case, since VGA is analog, right?), or if the analog roadblock is simply caused by the currently available adaptors.

  • I'm a PC user but I want to get a new Mac

    Well here is a little of my story.First of all I was one of the early microcomputer users having a HP-67 programmable calculator in 1975.Steve Wozniak had a HP-65(previous model)
    and he too was a member of the HP-65 users group before he made the Apple 1.Wozniak also worked at HP in the progammable calculator division.I programmed in Fortran 4 on a I.B.M. 360 mainframe in High School with those ridiculous 80 column Punch Cards.I also designed and built lots of electronic devices like a Class 4 Rhodamine 6G chemical Laser with a 3.6 megawatt Pulsed Powers supply and other fun things like a ultrasonic transmitter and reciever scanner in addition to digital circuits when I was a teenager.I really love ultra high voltage,ultra high amperage nanosecond circuitry and its secret implentations.
    Now I missed the Apple 2 era because they came out after I graduated High School.I've had several microcomputers in the 1980's like the HP-75,Timex Sinclair 2068 and the Commodore Amiga.A friend of mine got me back into computers when he taught me MS-DOS on a hand me down used 486 class I.B.M. PS/1(it had Windows 3.1 installed on it)in 1998.Later in 1999 I purchased a Pentium 2 class machine and had an up to date PC for the first time.I had also got into configuring,repairing and selling PC's for some extra pocket change cash.
    I built and own several newer PC's like a Athlon 1 Ghz system in Jan 2001 and a 3.2 Ghz Pentium 4 Class machine that I built in 2004.I also have built and own a 1.7 Ghz Celeron system.
    Well my friend always cracked jokes about the Macintosh and how useless and impractical it was in addition to the platform not having much software that can run on it.
    I saw a old Macintosh Classic in a thrift store and purchased it.I recognized that it was a old machine but was impressed with the Mac OS GUI and how it compared to Windows 3.0 or Windows 3.1 at that time.I also saw how the Macintosh GUI OS came out in 1984 and Windows 1.0 was a complete joke in 1985.Microsoft Windows took until 1995 to nearly copy how the Mac OS worked.I found a lot more Compact Macs in thrift stores and repaired 2 pre 6000 series 1983 logic board original Macintosh's.I found great books about the history of the Macintosh like Insanely Great by Steven Levy and just loved the fantastic history and technology of the Macintosh.Both me and my PC friend watched the Pirates of Silicon Valley(TNT original movie) but I too noticed a lot of the simplification and errors of this short drama.I had a Sept 1977 Scientific American magazine that had a article about the Xerox Alto and PARC written by Alan Kay.So I just love the history about the development of the GUI,the Mouse,Hypertext,Networking,Bitmapping the Mouse and especially the greatest inventor of some of these technologies Douglas Englebart who in December 1969 demonstrated 2 GUI OS based machines with mouse and chorded keyes networked machines 40 miles apart and use Video teleconfrencing at the Augmentation Research Center at the Stanford Research Intstitute under funding by DARPA.
    I also purchased some more used Macs like a a Performa 636 a 638 and a Power PC 6500.I also found a shrink wrapped Mac OS 9 in a thrift store for $10.Now I've never owned a new Mac or Apple computer but my Uncle had several Apple 2 machines.When my PC friend critisized the Mac I was intrigued and became a Mac and Apple computer defender and lover.I saw a video of Steve Jobs demonstrating a NeXT Machine and noticed how similar it was to the Mac OSX operating system that I've seen on newer Macs in my local CompUSA.Wow NeXT was truly amazing at that time(Yes I know the WWW was invented on a NeXT Machine.
    One thing I've noticed that is a constant hassle with security issues on a PC is the extreme extent to which a Microsoft Operating System PC user has to protect his system from attacks on the Internet.As a PC user I've seriously had to install 5 or 6 VALID(and there are 100's of fake) Anti Spyware programs on a PC to HOPEFULLY

    Nice to hear your story.

  • I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?

    I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?
    For example so that I can just press shift or another key to get the German character.

    Some may already exist, but you will have to learn them.  On my old system these can be found through keyviewer.app  For example, if I press option+s I get ß   Umlaut is a bit cumbersome as option+u then the actual letter.  It may be possible to bind a key to do this function, possibly through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
    I have old, old references for utilities that let you rebind keys to other functions, and you would have to see if they have modern equivalents.
    Ukelele Mac OS X Keyboard Layout Editor - http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele - mostly useful for character, not function mapping.

  • Who has a brand new Mac with Lion?

    I've been reading about all these issues with Lion. (yes i realize most people who are happy don't post) Most of the time when someone has an issue someone else says that their system must have been screwed up prior to the upgrade or they did something wrong, or have software that causing the issue, etc. I'm wondering if any of you are having issues with Lion on a brand new Mac? A new computer that came with Lion or at least a brand new computer that you installed Lion on as soon as you took it out of the box. Something NEVER used without Lion.
    Seems to me that if the vast majority of brand new Macs that come with Lion installed are working great then the problems people are seeing may in fact be something that already existed in their system prior to the upgrade. But if people with brand new virgin Macs are having issues with Lion then it HAS to be system bugs.
    I think this information could be a good indicator if the OS has a ton of bugs or if it simply does not get along well with possible existing bugs your computer may already have.
    I have two 2009 Macs and I'd love to upgrade to Lion because i like to keep my systems current but honestly I'm afraid too!!

    I bought my iMac (mid 2011 model) in July (brand new) and have Lion 7.1 installed. I have found many things which I would class as being "a different way of doing things from what I am used to", through "oddities (some annoying)", and a few that are clearly bugs, such as the Magic Mouse pointer going AWOL for about 45 secs. once per day, very short mouse battery life (eg., a few days), Mail not showing the addressee when doing a word search. But I have not had any killer problems like many of the other posters such as Wifi not working. I just grit my teeth and hope that Apple will soon get things straight.
    Someone said that Lion should have been classed as a beta release and I think there is some truth in that. However, it is important to realise that the people who post here are the ones with problems, not satisfied customers. How many Lions have been sold? A million?
    I was put off initially when I got my iMac and was glad that at that time it came with Snowleopard, but I took the plunge and am glad that I did. I like many of the features in Lion.

  • Spotlight is not working on brand new Mac mini

    Hi,
    I got an issue with two brand new Mac minis running 10.7.3 (11D50d):
    Spotlight is not working. I'm only getting the Wikipedia-Search.
    Here's what I did:
    Installation:
    - took the stock Minis and set up two users, admin and user (limited account)
    - updatet the System
    - installed manually: Adobe Reader X, Office 2011, Firefox 12, Flip4Mac, Perian, Cyberduck, Google Earth 6.2 (the installer without the updater), VLC 2
    - installed using AppStore: CalendarBar, TextWrangler, Unarchiever
    - copied a few documents (Word and Excel files) from a PC to the Desktop
    Troubleshooting:
    - tried to restart Spotlight by adding the entire harddrive to privacy using »Spotlight« within the System Preferences
    - that threw an error "no priviliges"
    - started the System from the recovery system (on an USB-thumbdrive) and repaired permissions
    - that did not help
    - tried to restart Spotlight through the Terminal, running the command: sudo mdutil -E /
    - that command returned: No index.
    - the tried: sudo mdutil -i on /
    - returned: Error: unable to perform operation.  (-400) No index.
    - went the hard way
    - unloaded the daemon: sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
    - erased the Spotlight folder: sudo rm -fr .Spotlight-V100/
    - loaded the daemon: sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
    That made everything work fine until I did a restart of the System. After the mini restarted I was back at square one...
    Does anyone have an idea how to fix this issue?
    Apple support suggested to reinstall the system. Something I can't do right now, as people need to work on those computers and cannot take a tow hour break...

    Hi Ray Land,
    We can help narrow down the cause.  What operating system are you using on your new Mac Mini? 
    If you are running the Mountain Lion OS, you can download the latest driver here.  An important note is that the current print queue must be deleted before installing the new driver.  This will ensure proper communication.
    If this doesn't work or you need further assistance, please contact us here.

  • I have moved my music to my new mac air but now it won't sync with my ipod or my iphone 4s

    I have transferred mymusic to my new mac air from an acer laptop via an external hard drive and it's all there on the mac but now itunes won't sync with my ipod touch or my iphone 4s.
    With the ipod it says 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device " It also doesn't show up at all in the devices section.
    With the iphone it says there isn't enough space to sync even though I have experimented and unticked various things including photos which takes up a lot of space. It seems like it wants to sync with the empty space on the iphone (very small!) and not with the whole thing. I have tried various things suggested on this forum but have had no luck.

  • HT201456 I have tried to install Windows 8.1 64 on my new Mac Book Pro from a full install disc.

    I have tried to install Windows 8.1 64 on my new Mac Book Pro from a full install disc. When I get the the choice of partitions to install Windows 8.1 on the Windows installer says that the Bootcamp partition is not valid.
    Has anyone encountered the same issue?

  • 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.

  • Getting a new Mac: need to transfer files/applications, have external hard drive, and wipe clean old Mac to give to family member

    Getting a new Mac this Christmas. I have several questions:
    1. How do I transfer files/applications from old to new?
    2. I have an external hard drive, do I need to save iTunes account to it?
    3. How do I wipe the old Mac clean to give to family member?

    1. Use the Migration Assistant the first time you turn on the new computer.
    2. No, but you should do so as a backup.
    3. Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C or Option key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

  • I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

    I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
    Thanks!

    You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
    If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
    No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
    or...
    Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

  • 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.

  • New Mac Mini - How do i reinstall my copy of Mountain LIon from App Store?

    Hi All:
    I just bought a new Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. I want to clone an older system drive that had been running Snow Leopard onto my new Mini and then upgrade to Mountain Lion (I tried Migration Assistant first, but it didn't work correctly and I don't want to mess with it again).
    My question: once I have a working Snow Leopard install on my Mini, is it possible to upgrade back to the Mountain Lion OS it came with without paying for a new copy? How do I do that?
    Thanks!

    It isn't just the hard drive - there is firmware built in that will prevent you from booting wih Snow Leopard. If you do a search here, you'll find many threads trying to install an earlier OS than what the machine came with all with the same answer (unless the Mac was built right around the time of a new OS being introduced, then it is possible to be booted from both OS's). In this case, you'd be trying to go backwards by 2 versions. Also see here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186?viewlocale=en_US
    And yes, if you use internet recovery and first erase the drive (available in Disk Utility within the recovery partition) and then reinstall the OS, it'll reinstall the OS on a blank drive and you can start over. If the machine is new, then Command + R during restart should automatically boot into internet recovery (connecting you to Apple's servers by showing a spinning globe while connecting); if the machine is a bit older, then Command + Option + R will boot into internet recovery.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud - has anybody had any luck running Adobe CC on a new mac mini? Does it run slow for Photoshop?

    Adobe Creative Cloud - has anybody had any luck running Adobe CC on a new mac mini? Does it run slow for Photoshop?

    Adobe CC applications are very large and the base Mac mini isn't a good choice because it has only 4GB of RAM and has a slow standard hard drive. To get the most out of ACC you should upgrade the mini to at least 8GB. I'd also choose an SSD or Fusion drive for better performance.

  • Adobe could transfer books to Kobo on old HP laptop but on new Mac I get this error message: CE_COPY_NOT_ALLOWED - No permission to copy book.
