Problems with installing SL Server on pre installed Mac Mini

Hi,
I have brame new Mac Mini (Snow Leopard preinstalled) and now I'm trying to install Snow Leopard Server on it.
The problem is, that after choosing the HDD in the installation procedure, the system says that installed OSX is newer then the one I'm trying to install and that I should choose other HDD!
What should I do?
Regards,
M

Hi,
start up from cd, start installation, choose "disk utility" from the menu bar, erase hd (journaled),
after this you can install OSX server.
Good luck,
Rick

  • Out of Frequency Problem with Apple Multiple Scan 720 Display and Mac mini

    If a resolution with a horizontal and/or vertical frequency not compatible with your display, in this case an Apple Multiple Scan 720 Display, is selected in the Display preference pane of the Mac OS X 10.4.10 system running on a Mac mini (Early '06), you will recieve a message on your screen about being "out of frequency" and the power management feature will shut down and restart your display repeatedly. The following solution should restore your display to proper function. It may apply to other displays and Macintoshes running Mac OS X, but it has only been tested specially on this setup.
    1. Shut down the Mac mini with the power button (press and hold for 5 seconds)
    2. Start the computer up with the Mac mini Mac OS X Install Disc 1 (press the power button, insert the disc, hold the C key down until the progress bar starts up)
    3. Click on the language, then select Utilities > Terminal...
    4. Type "cd /" and return
    5. Type "cd Volumes" and return
    6. Type "cd your hard drive name" and return (you need to enclose the hard drive name in double quotes if more than one word)
    7. Type "cd Library" and return
    8. Type "cd Preferences" and return
    9. Type "rm com.apple.windowserver.plist" and return
    10. Type "exit" and return
    11. Quit Terminal
    12. Select Utilities > Startup Disc...
    13. Select the OS on the hard drive and click on Restart button, holding down the Shift key until the progress bar starts.
    14. Log in to the account that had the display problem in Safe Boot mode
    15. In System Preferences select Display, select a resolution with the appropriate frequency, 60 Hz should be fine, then close System Preferences
    16. Restart the computer, log in to the account normally, and the display should be functioning properly.
    DO NOT SELECT AN INAPPROPRIATE RESOLUTION/FREQUENCY FOR YOUR DISPLAY IN THE DISPLAY PREFERENCE PANE! BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!

    Mac mini (Early '06)   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   Apple Multiple Scan 720 Display

    Just a correction and an elaboration:
    It should be Startup Disk... with a k, not a c.
    Both the resolution and the frequency must be appropriate for your display to work properly. Check your documentation or the manual information available on your display for the appropriate resolutions/frequencies. Evidently the Apple Multiple Scan 720 Display is considered so old that no allowance was made for it in the Display preference pane of Mac OS X 10.4.10.

  • Problem with sound in rented itunes series on mac mini (2010) hdmi

    Hello,
    I just bought the new mac mini with HDMI. It is connected via HDMI to my receiver Denon AVR 3310. The receiver shows that it has "multi channel in" on the display.
    I made all the configurations so that i can watch dvd an the mac mini. When i play a movie with Dolby Digital the receiver does show that on the display and playback is possible without any problems. All my 5.1 speakers play sound.
    The big problem is with iTunes. When I want to watch rented series from iTunes Store, for example Dr. House, only 2 speakers of my 5.1 are used. And when I change to surround in iTunes I can only hear static noise.
    What is the problem? What is wrong with iTunes?
    Thanks in advance

    I am having the same issue.
    I have a Panasonic TH-50PX60U, and a Yamaha RX-V2065. The Mini is plugged into the Yamaha via HDMI and Yamaha to TV via HDMI.
    Problem: Just to clarify I do NOT have a video problem. That part seems to be working fine, my problem is with audio. When ever I switch inputs on the receiver or turn the system off (not the Mini, that always stays on) the audio defaults back to the internal speaker in the Mini. I have to go into system settings and change it back to the HDMI audio out. This is super frustrating. I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong area, but it's the only thread that looked like it might have an answer. Thanks!

    Hi Sinisa,
    It almost sounds like this bug;
    CSCtn81201
    Incorrect "Hardware Configuration Error" due to hardware setup errors
    Symptom:
    Refresh upgrade stops with IMM device detection, and then server being reported as unsupported
    Conditions:
    in-band USB interface was disabled, which is configurable via IBM system X or IMM (browser) interfaces.
    Workaround:
    change the in-band usb interface settings to enabled.

  • Problems with installing a GMX-E-Mail account on a Blackberry Q10

    Hi everyone,
    since days I got a problem with installing a german GMX-E-Mail account on my Blackberry Q10. If I try the "automatic" installation by just putting in my E-Mail adress and password, it says, that my E-Mail adress or password is wrong - which it clearly isnt! Bizarrely installing a different GMX-E-Mail account wasnt a problem. It was only this one special account.
    Neither GMX, nor O2 (my mob provider/operator) could help me - everyone said its a problem with the other company.
    Today I figured the problem out by myself and I guess its a Blackberry problem:
    The password of my E-Mail account has a umlaut (means special letters, for example the a, u or o with 2 dots - ä, ü, ö, etc.) in it. Obviously you can put this umlaut in the form, but probably my Blackberry isnt able to send this umlaut to GMX correctly - since their server says the password is not correct. I changed my password. Now there is no umlaut in it anymore. Now everything works perfectly.
    Just wanted to write it down here, in case someone else has this problem or Blackberry wants to fix it
    kind regards
    Christian

    Not sure if it will help, but if you just try and edit one of your current mailboxes, and change the box name and manually change all the details, that may work ?

  • Problems with installing arch-0.7. (solved)

    *GOSH* Me is so dumb sometimes... My testing computer, is not PII. It is only pentium. No wonder it aint working. My mistake, sorry.
    Hello all !
    I have a problem with installing arch-0.7.
    When i am booting from CD, it starts to load kernel and so on, but it always restarts.
    I have tryed starting it up with arch -noscsi, but it doesnt change anything. It restarts anyway. I get no error messages what so ever, it just restarts.
    If there is anyone, who could help me out, give me a hint or something, i would really appreciate it. I am new to linux, and while browsing different distros, i found this one. And, it seems really good, so i decided to try it out, to see if it "does my work".
    Thanks in advance.

    Tnx !
    I've found the pre.07-i586.iso... So, now i could try this out.

    If i understood, things right, i can still use sources? Even though, not every app is in the repository, i am able to use sources right?
    Anyway, Tnx alot again, for giving me the gr8 tips.

  • Problem with installing and uninstalling applicati...

    hi all,
    I have a problem with installing or uninstalling apps on 808. When i try to install an application through Nokia suite or when trying to run the application file from the phone's memory the screen freezes and becomes unresponsive but the 3 phone buttons work just fine. I have to shut down the phone and the screen becomes responsive again. Anything available to help me wiith this situations as I cannot use any of the apps I have. Any help much appreciated.
    Regards
    Alex

    You are not alone. Im also having the same issue because we do alot of install and uninstall apps. This is the bad point of symbian. But I tired to install the latest FP2 it will be slightly abit smoother now. So you have the latest version now but did you tired to restore any backup yet? It might be the setting on when you restore that affect it. The feezing should be shorten on FP2 but it will still remain there depending on the type of apps from what I experience.
    I hope they will provide multiple function to uninstall apps since it will go through a long process to uninstall apps 1 by 1.
    Reason is because some apps will go through process like preparing install, process install, finalising install which take away your control for that few seconds or a minute instead runnning in background mode. Its not convenient to uninstall more apps.

  • Problem with installing iTunes

    So these are my problems with installing iTunes.
    At first it was :
    A required iTunes component is not installed.Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-45019)
    Then it got worse as it would not even open and these would appear:
    The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
    and this would appear:
    iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
    Error 7 (Windows error 126)
    I reinstalled maybe about 5 times or more...
    If I thought I solved the above problem, this would appear:
    iTunesHelper.exe is not installed on my computer.
    I seen other people comment that you should unistall and restart the computer and install the setup again, but it does not work..
    And others would say to repair the AAS or iTunes etc..
    And after trying all these it does not work???
    What else works?

    I also tried repairing the Microsoft NET.

  • Problem with Installing Nokia Ovi Store in E51

    I am having problem with installing nokia Ovi store in my E51. Whenever I try to download Ovi store from my E51, it shows a error message that the component is built in and cannot be installed. I dont know wat to do now. Can anyone please give me some advice. Thanks in advance.

    Hi there! 
    This means that the Ovi Store is currently installed in your E52 phone, what I can suggest is try checking under Application Manager > Installed Application, check if the Ovi Store is there. If you can't see it, try to perform the soft reset (press *#7780# on the main screen of the phone and it will prompt you restore all original phone settings? phone will restart. Press YES and it will ask you for the lock code 12345.) If anything else please reply to this message.
    Hope tis' Help!

  • Severe problem with installing and starting Audio-DVD Pla

    Hi,
    after installing the new drivers (SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe) for my Audigy2ZS in XP SP3 i had np mic boost and the mixer did not show the mic as an selectable source. So i rolled back to my old drivers and after that i have problems with installing and starting the Audio DVD Player. I tried so far: uninstalling everything like its said solution ID 72, checking HD for corrupted files and i did a repair installation of XP. Nothing helped. When i only install the drivers and the DVD Audio Player from the original CD everything is fine until the reboot adter installation. When the OS tries to start the "chkcolor.exe" the PC instantly reboots. When preventing XP from doing so, there is no reboot, but as soon i want to start the DVD Audio Player a reboot occurs again. When i try to uninstall the DVD Audio Player before unstillaing the drivers, the is also a reboot. First uninstalling the drivers and then the DVD Audio Player, there is no reboot.
    Any ideas?
