Osx install disc 2 will not take
need help. trying to fix problem with idvd. trying to run osx install discs but disc # 2 will not take. cannot finish repair or reinstall.
Is the AirPort Express a first generation? I don't believe Mountain Lion can AirPlay to a first generation AirPort Express.
If it's not first generation, inspect it (the AirPort Express) using the current AirPort Utility from the MacBook Air. Make sure it has the latest firmware.

I'm not the sharpest crayon, and was getting frustrated by the fact that erasing my hard drive and reinstalling Snow Leopard and my applications would not get my computer to start up without the Mac OS X Install disc inserted. In the course of that, in Disk Utility, since none of the options were working and my computer would not recognize my backup drive, I ended up copying the Install disc as the source onto my one partition on my hard drive. Now, the computer starts up, but goes directly to the install proceedure. However, there is no drive to select to install Mac OS X to. Disk Utility won't allow for the option to erase the drive again. How do I make my computer usable again?
Can't do that. The intallation steps reach the point where you have to choose the disc to install to. There is no disc to choose on the screen. The space is empty. I cannot select anything to erase and install to.

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections such as options. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks
Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable. -
Mac Mini 2.53 C2 Duo will not take any disc
Hi all here is my problem… I have a Mac Mini C2 Duo 2.53 that will not take any disc DVD or CD when it is turned on. If I turn it of and put a DVD or CD in the slot it will load on boot and play and read. If I eject the disc and load a new disc with in 5 seconds it will load a new disc if I wait longer than 5 seconds I can't load any form of disc I have to turn off the Mac.
I have Installed 2 different BD drives and 2 different DVD drives all with the same result. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers PatrickI have installed now 6 different drives all new… all do the same thing I could cry have reset the SMC a few times no luck. The drives work fine in a different Mac Mini just not in this one. Is weird that they all work when the Mini is booting but not afterwards. I don't want an external drive as this defeats me buying an older Mini with internal drive.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?
I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

Unable to update airport express. When connecting msg says to install 5.6, download and will not take install says it is not compatible.
This is a dilemma. Older Express models require AirPort Utility 5.6.1 or a similar, older version of AU. Mountain Lion will refuse to install it. What to do?
As it turns out AirPort Utility 5.6.1 runs perfectly fine on Mountain Lion. If you had the foresight to have archived it somewhere (such as with Time Machine or equivalent) you can simply copy the app to your computer and use it. The problem is that the installer package will refuse to work on a Mountain Lion system.
If you don't have an already-extracted version of AU 5.6.1 there is a solution: you simply need Pacifist to extract the app from the installer package. I also found another technique described on this page:

Good luck! -
When I try to install flash player on my Mac, I get to the panel that asks for my name and password, but it will not take my password. Tried changing the password, but same result. Suggestions??
This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person. -
I want to install idvd 6 from an install disc. I have idvd 7 already installed. It will not let me because of the later installed version. Is there a way to install the earlier version?
Delete of hide the existing iDVD application T and all files with "iDVD" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Can't boot from OSX Install disc.
Hello,
I am trying to restore my iMac from a Time MAchine backup and to do that I remembered that I had to boot off of the OSX install disk and choose Disk Utility. I thought that restoring from timeMAchine would be the hard and long part, but I am having trouble booting off of the OSX disc.
1.) I popped it into my iMac and it mounts and loads. Its runs fine so I know there is nothing wrong with the disc.
2.) I restarted my iMac and held C.
3.) The grey screen appeard and then the Apple logo and then the spinning icon underneath it. But it gets stuck there and doesn't boot off of the disk.
4.) I shutdown the machine by holding the power-button and when it restarted I held D. It ran the hardware test fine and I passed the hardware test.
5.) I shut it down again, same way in four, and held option. This time I chose to boot form the Mac OS X Install DVD. It again got stuck at the Grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning icon.
Does anyone know how to or can help me get my iMac to boot from the OSX install disc or how I can use Disc Utility to restore my iMac from TimeMachine?
Thanks in Advance & Best Regards,
theirf.Sorry, OE = Original Equipment - the grey discs that came with your Mac.
SL = Snow Leopard - Mac OS X 10.6.x.
theirf wrote:
What do OE and SL mean?
I think i understand though. You mean that any disc with a higher version of something will still work on a machine with a lower version of that thing right?
Not any disc. The only grey ones that will work are those that came with that Mac.
Any retail disc of a later OS version will work, and in most cases it would boot from an external HD with a later OS installed.
However, as Snow Leopard only came on two retail versions, 10.6.0 and 10.6.3, the choice is a bit limited.
The current retail version is available here. -
Disc drive will not eject in Windows 7
I just upgraded from XP pro to Windows 7 home premium yesterday and it's all been working great save one little detail: my disc drive will not eject discs. I've tried the eject button (I'm on an aluminum macbook late 2008) as well as manually ejecting the discs from explorer. When I boot up in OSX I can eject discs fine. It's probably also important to note I'm using the bootcamp drivers that came with my 10.5.6 OSX installation disc, so I don't know if those are up to par for running Windows 7.
Any suggestions would be greatHi,
I have the same problem with windows 7 not ejecting discs (with macbook pro late 2008 with latest Bootcamp drivers installed).
At the moment I can eject the dics only by putting windows 7 to sleep (closing the lid) and on wake the disc ejects by pressing the normal Eject key.
Hope apple (or MS ??) will fix this...

Mac mini server - will not take 4GB so-dimm in bank 0
Mac mini server - will not take 4GB so-dimm in bank 0
Hello,
Memory works ok as long as the old 2gb 1066 so-dimm is in bank 0.
Switching the dimms around is no go. It seems to need that bank 0 populated with an old 2gb.
I can use only one 2gb and one 4gb for the mini server to boot.
It seems to have a hard time figuring out the 2x4gb configuration.
Tried PRAM and NVRAM reset. Always getting 3 beeps.
Any chance of getting the full 8gb detected?Hi All,
I had the same problem that you, I had a mac mini server late 2009 with 10.7.3 OS X, with 4 GB of memory.
I have got these two memories on amazon:
"8Go mémoire - Kit double canal SAMSUNG original 2 x 4 Go 204 broches DDR3-1066 PC3-8500 SO-DIMM (2x M471B5273BH1-CF8) mémoire portable ordinateur DD"
First test to install in the mac mini:
Slot 0 - 4 GB
Slot 1 - 4 GB
3 beeps
2nd test
Slot 0 -
Slot 1 - 4 GB
OK
3rd Test:
Slot 0 - 4 GB
Slot 1 - 1 GB
3 beeps
4th Test:
1 - 1 GB
2 - 4 GB
OK
5th test:
reset PMU
Slot 0 - 4 GB
Slot 1 - 4 GB
3 bips
6th Test:
I did a test of the 2x4 GB in a mac mini 2010
OK
7th test:
Slot 0 - 2 GB
Slot 1 - 4 GB
OK
After to read this forum I gave up and I decided to let the mac mini with 6 GB. Well, as I wanted to try it again one last time, I tried to put the slot 0 memory forcing a bit. But I did not noticed nothing special.
Well, at this last time, it works. 8 GB in the mac mini server
here some screenshots:
I hope this info will help you to resolve this problem. But seriously, I am not giving you nothing else than hope -

Mac OSX install disc 1 won't work, it says "no bootable device" and a black screen
My macbook came already with snow leopard, so I have the osx install disc and the applications install disc. So I'm meant to put in the osx (ie install disc 1) install disc which lets me install bootcamp, which I do, and click on "start the windows installer" and "start installation" in bootcamp assistant, however every time I restart the computer to try installing bootcamp it just says in white letters across a black screen "no bootable device" and "insert boot disc", which I have already done!!
Am I missing something really dumb here, or is my disc faulty?From this guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf
Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for WindowsAfter installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software forWindows using your Mac OS X installation disc.
The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.
You have to be running your Windows OS (not Mac OSX) when you add the drivers from the Mac Install disk.
