OS 10.4  disk 2 install problem on mother inlaws mac mini

The installation OS 10.4 disk 1 went ok but disk 2 would not mount. Called apple care and they sent me a replacement for disk 2. When I mounted the replacement disk 2 it said to insert disk 1 to install "OSX and the bundled software". Are they telling me that I have to re-install the system I disk again to install the applications on disk 2?

Ron, I have to tell you that your post isn't very clear.
Are the Install discs you have mentioned Mac mini-specific ?
I guess you are trying to install (re-install ?) bundled software w/out OS X, but in order to do this, you have to launch disk one and go through the options to select what you want to install. Then the Installer should prompt you to insert disc #2 and proceed.

  • HT5628 Is it possible to format entire hard disk and install windows 8 only in mac mini?

    Is it possible to format entire hard disk and install windows 8 only in mac mini?

    You can, but it's not recommended. If you are going to use Windows all the time, at least give some GBs to OS X, because you will need it to install firmware updates.
    Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition. You can find it in /Applications/Utilities. Then, follow Apple's steps to install Windows 8 > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf You must use a 64-bit version, and note that not all Mac minis support Windows 8. Check if yours is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to download the Windows support software onto a USB drive. You will need to install it in Windows, so it's very important to download it. If not, you will have problems in Windows.
    If your Mac doesn't support Windows 8, install the Windows version the site gives you

  • I have acrobat pro on my lap top and recently installed acrobat pro on my Mac Mini, but the text recognition function is not working, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this problem?

    I have acrobat pro on my lap top and recently installed acrobat pro on my Mac Mini, but the text recognition function is not working, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this problem?

    On my laptop when I open up a pdf file and do a search for a particular
    text phrase it prompts me to run a character analysis.  Whereas on my mac
    mini, when I try to engage the same process it just says it couldn't find
    the phrase and doesn't even try and run a character analysis. I tried
    clicking on the tool bar and the recognize text tab but nothing there seems
    to do anything.
    In trying to figure out the issue on my own I noticed one thing.  I run a
    small law firm in St. Louis and I scan in all my files to which are
    subsequently emailed to my outlook account where I will save them as pdf's
    to their respective folders.  On my laptop when I open up an email from my
    scanner I see the image of a acrobat document next to the attachment
    paperclip symbol.  However, when I open up the same email on my mac mini I
    notice instead of an acrobat file image it shows a Preview file image (the
    program used to open up pdf's before I installed acrobat).
    Hope this helps!
    Sincerely,
    Jonathan McAllister

  • Trying to install Leopard server on my Mac mini

    I'm a registered Apple Select Developer and I'm trying to install Leopard Server on a Mac mini I just picked up the other day. Is there a way to do this using the image or do I have to burn a DVD in order to do the install? The image is over 5GB's so I'd need to get a dual layer disk.

    Is this just for a test?
    If so you can create 3 partitions, one a bootable volume the second partition a place to restore the Leopard image and the third partition to install the new software you restored on the second partition. You do loose two small volumes temporarily, but you can make them relatively small since these are only used for installation purposes. The details can be found on the developer site under " leopardclient_9a377a_seednote.rtf".
    I've done this on older machines with no CD players installed.

  • Installing Lion on Mid 2007 mac mini

    I recently performed a wipe on my system's hard disk. I had a mid 2007 mac mini with OS 10.5.8 installed. After the wipe, the original installation disks do not work and i am wondering how to get my computer running again and eventually upgrade to snow leopard or lion.

    What exactly happens when you insert the original install DVD and try an install?
    You can order Snow Leopard DVD here:

    Once you have Snow Leopard yo use the Mac App Store to update

  • Anyone know when Apple will bring out a patch to fix the volume problem you get on mac mini after downloading OS 10.8.5

    Anyone know when Apple will bring out a patch to fix the volume problem you get on mac mini after downloading OS 10.8.5?

    Only Apple knows the answer to whether or not there is a verified problem and if so when will a fix be released.  As is their custom, Apple does not talk about these things and the rules of these communities prohibit speculation about future udates or upgrades. It is probably safe to say if a fix is deemed necessary it will be called OS X 10.8.6.

  • Can I install more memory on a mac mini

    Can I install more memory on a mac mini?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. You can upgrade the RAM always that you do not have a Late 2014 Mac mini (I am not sure that you can install more RAM, and if you can, it will void the warranty), and you can purchase more RAM at OWC or Crucial.

  • Would it be possible to install 1TB HD in a Mac Mini ?

    That´s my question:
    Can I install 1TB HD in a Mac Mini? I haven´t read anything in Tech Specs
    but I would like to do it if it were possible.
    Regards.
    Guillermo

    No, it isn't possible to do it with a single drive; the largest 2.5-inch hard drive is 500 Gig.
    But it is possible to remove the DVD drive in the newest Mini and replace it with a second 500 Gig hard drive ... for a total of 1 TB of internal storage.
    See this article:
    http://www.ifixit.com/blog/?p=126
    !http://s1.guide-images.ifixit.com/igi/aHatPR2UD52TgXSY.large!
    A kit to do this was sold here:
    http://www.ifixit.com/Apple-Parts/Mac-mini-1-TB-Upgrade-Kit/IF107-070
    Though frankly, just get a 1 or 2 TB firewire-800 external drive and that would be a lot easier.

  • Install boot camp partition on Mac mini

    How to install boot camp on a Mac mini? It ask for a bootable DVD which I have inserted in my Mac book pro, but it does not recognize the DVD. How can I install boot camp on a mini?

    The Mac mini 2011 model does not have a DVD drive. It is possible to install Mac software over the network using another Macs DVD drive but this will not let you install Windows.
    You need to either use an external DVD drive and connect it to the Mac mini, or for Windows 7 it is possible to copy the installer on to a USB memory stick, boot from the memory stick, and run the install from that.

  • Question about installing Snow Leopard on a Mac Mini

    I'm in the process of installing Snow Leopard on a Mac Mini, but it's taking forever. It's been installing for well over 2 hours now and still indicates an hour left to install. Is this unusual? I'm getting a little concerned. What do I do if I have to cancel the install? Do I have to start from scratch again?

    How about this:
    1. If necessary start up from the external HD & verify that everything is working right & all your files are intact on it.
    2. Clone from the external to internal HD.
    3. Start up from the internal HD & verify as in #1 that everything works as expected.
    4. Install Snow Leopard on the external HD. If that completes successfully, restart from it & verify as above.
    5.a. If that all checks out, clone the external back to the internal HD & you are done.
    5.b. If that fails, you still have the internal HD with your working copy of 10.5.8 to use while you try to figure out what is going wrong.
    The main benefit of this is you always have one working installation to fall back on no matter what happens.

  • Installing WIndows 7 onto a Mac Mini that does not have an internal optical drive.

    Has anyone had any success in installing WIndows 7 onto a Mac Mini via Boot Camp using either a USB stick or an external SuperrDrive?

    Option 1: Get a USB "Super Drive" and use it to install windoze.
    Option 2: Use Parallels Desktop to run windoze.
    Option 3: Wait for someone who knows more than I do to tell you how to do it using magic.

  • Installing just Compressor on a Mac Mini

    Hi!
    i just upgraded to FCS2 and I am wondering if there is anyway I can install just Compressor on a Mac mini I bought specifically for rendering? I tried not to install it in the G5 i am using now but it seems to be bundled together with the other FCS apps.
    I would appreciate any input. I am running Leopard, so I am wondering if do I even need to install Compressor on the Mac Mini and instead use QMaster to somehow configure it instead.
    I appreciate any input.
    Thank you.

    Unless all of your machines was about as fast as your mini, I wouldn't do this. The slowest machine in your setup will be the bottleneck. Now, if the mini was the ONLY machine that's going to do encoding for you, go for it. Also, to save you some pain, don't try distributed rendering using FCP projects. It won't work. Use a quicktime movie.

    I remember reading a post not too long ago that the person receive the wrong CD on a refurbished machine. I believe the machine was a Mac Mini. I can't find the post now.
    The person took the machine to an Apple Store and they reinstalled the OS on it.
