OS deleted on mac mini mid 2007

Hi all
I have got mac mini mid 2007 from my friend and it has got windows 7 installed through bootcamp but there is not any OS. I think my friend has deleted it. I want to give this mini to my son and he wants OS on it. please any one could help me out that how and which OS i required as i have intel dual core 2 and ram 2gb. i looked through internet but it made me more confused and not sure where to start. It would be nice if someone instruct me with step by step
kind regards

Try this...
Startup into the Startup Manager holding the Option (Alt) key.
From there, you should be able to select the Macintosh HD and startup from it.
If not...?
Then you will need to reformat the Hard Drive using the original Install Disc set or a Snow Leopard upgrade DVD.
Install OS X and upgrade it to the latest OS X that it can run.
FWIW..
If you decide to run a later OS X than the original version, you will need to get/buy a retail Snow Leopard upgrade DVD.
Update it to 10.6.8 and then use the App Store to upgrade to the latest version that, that Mac can run.

Mac Mini (Mid 2007), how sync iPhone 5?

I have a Mac Mini (Mid 2007) and cannot sync my iPhone 5 as Itunes 7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or later which I cannot install as the Mac Mini is too old. Can anyone advise what my optiosn are other than iCloud?

.....requires OSX 10.6.8 or later which I cannot install as the Mac Mini is too old.
Yours facts make no sense.
A MacMini 2.1 (mid 2007) can be upgraded to either 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or 10.7 (Lion).
The latest version of iTunes is 10.7 not 7. It also works with either SL or Lion.
You would need at least 10.7 (Lion) in order to use iCloud.
You would have to phone Apple at 1-800-My-Apple to buy an authorization to download Lion, but you would also need to have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed to have the App Store.

Need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based

I need help need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based so if u kno how pls message me thanks
<Email Edited by Host>

You need to purchase the upgrade disk (it is a DVD). Then just put it in and run the installer. When it was first released it was $29 USD, do not know if the price has changed or not.
The usual precautions about backing up your data apply. In fact I would recommend either making a Disk Image of your current boot drive or using something like Carbon Copy Cloner to copy it to an external drive. I upgraded 5 machines from Leopard to Snow Leopard without any issues, but better to be safe than sorry.

Does anyone have a Mac Mini (MID-2007) with wifi that works?

Does anyone have a Mac Mini (MID-2007 C2D) which wifi works?
It seems that Mac Mini has different models and some have a Broadcom Wifi card and some Atheros WIFI card. I'm trying to find user whom Mac Mini 2007 with atheros card works. Since os x 10.6 and 10.7 my wifi have not worked at all. I even changed internal antenna. Also attached external antenna on WIFI cards ext port. Still very poor connection. Also sometimes when my mac wakes from sleep country code of WIFI card is US not FI as rest of my family macs. WIFI is made with apple extreme router (802.11n). 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks. I do not have network interference. With Minimac Atheros card has support b and g network with 2.4 Ghz and a network with 5 ghz. Signal ratio is average -80 dbm, and speed varies from 6-36. Both a and g networks work same way on minimac. When I turn machin on wifi is usable about 1-2 minutes then latency will rice and after that timeout will occur on network. Still mac mini is connected to network.
Atheros firmware is: 5424: 2.1.14.9
Card: Airport Extreme (0x168c, 0,86)
Location: ETSI
Country: FI
Security: NONE
PHY: 802.11a
There are a lot of guides on net how to get it working; eg. change older OS kext, remove preferences, install os again (done all that, nothing works, but older kext files seem to work little better). But does any one have a Mac Mini with working wifi. What brand is your router and is the card in minimac original Atheros. Broadcom seems to operate Apple Extreme router quite well.

My Mac Mini Mid 2007 has the same specs:
Card: AirPort Extreme (0x168c, 0x86
Firmware: Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
Ever since I upgraded to 10.7.2, my WiFi has been running painfully slowly. Same issue: it works okay for a minute or two, but then slows to a crawl, with network timeouts, etc. And it shows I'm still connected to the network. It gets particularly bad when waking from sleep, unless I quit my web browser first, then put the machine to sleep. (Waking the machine with browser still "launched" causes big problems.)
Has anyone figured out a workaround for this issue?

Mac mini (Mid 2007) DVD player/burner issues

I have a Mac mini (Mid 2007) that I purchased on Ebay about a year ago. When I purchased it, the DVD drive was all ready bad and it only had 1 GB of RAM. I tore apart a different Mac Mini I had lying around with a dead motherboard, and took the DVD burner out of it and put it in the one I purchased off Ebay. I also upgraded the RAM to 2 GB (new RAM, not from the old Mac mini with the dead motherboard), and upgraded the OS X to Lion.
The DVD burner worked perfectly until yesturday. The problem I am now running into is the DVD drive works fine during boot, and I can boot to the original Mac OS X disc that came with the Mac. But once the operating system is loaded, it is like the DVD drive does not even exist. It is not displayed in hardware, I can't burn DVDs, I can't watch DVDs, and I cannot eject anything by any means other than a forced eject during boot. Again, it is like as far as the OS is concerned, it does not exist.
I am also having this issue with the headphone port on the back of the Mac, but more on a intermitent basis. The headphone port works, and is seen by the OS 50% of the time, but the other 50%, the OS does not see it at all. And it is the same way with the integrated speaker. (The DVD drive is all the time.)
Everything works fine during boot, but not in OS X. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Good work, thanks for the report!

Can I connect a 2006 Mac Mini 1.8 Ghz Intel to a Sony KDL40V5100 TV? How?

I have searched through endless discussions here with posts complaining about problems getting a Mac Mini to properly display on Sony and other brands of flat screen LCD and Plasma HDTVs in full 1080p resolution by hooking it up to the TV using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter cord hooked from the Mac Mini into an HDMI input on the TV. I want to buy a Sony KDL40V5100 40 inch LCD HDTV and get this connector to hook it into one of the TV's HDMI inputs, but have read so many posts here saying it won't work right. And in responses to these posts, I have read all the suggestions to fix these problems, ranging from using a third-party program to set the Mac to a specific resolution lower than the 1920 x 1080 (1080p) resolution to using both a mini-DVI to DVI connector and a DVI to HDMI to hook it into, which then could then be input into the TV, to changing display preferences on the Mac to dual or mirrored display status to setting the TV to a different input. I am very worried that if I buy this expensive TV, it will not display my Mac Mini properly on the Sony LCD TV. Is it GUARANTEED to work or not, and if yes, what settings need to be configured on which device(s)? I have also read posts here with complaints that the latest OS X "Leopard" update ruined the display's proper functioning status on the flat screen for many users. Can someone please help me get to the bottom of all this before I purchase the TV?

A 2006 mini doesn't use the mini-DVI port, so any issues with the mini-DVI adapter should be ignored. A DVI to HDMI cable will provide the correct signal just fine.
I see that your signature says you are running 10.4.11 (Tiger), so unless you've upgraded or plan to upgrade to 10.5 (Leopard) you need not consider the potential issue of resolutions not offered correctly in Leopard.
If you are concerned about the possible problems of the desktop displaying correctly, you should take your mini and the DVI to HDMI cable (which you will need to have in any case) to a store where the TV is being sold and ask to plug it in and test it. Any store worth shopping in will agree for a purchase that substantial. You can then see if overscan is handled correctly so the desktop will fit properly on the screen.

Can I use Targ. disk mode to add Tiger to a Mac mini G4 from an Intel iMac?

Hey all,
Last year I bought a 2.16 GHZ imac (intel duo core), I recently bought a used Mac mini on ebay for a gift for my mother (does not come with any software). She is dying to get an apple so I thought I would get her one. The mini is a 1.25 GHZ G4 PPC with 1 GB RAM and a 100 GB HDD. The person I am buying it from says that she tried to load Leopard and the install failed (something about firmware updates). I would like to add Tiger to it.
Here is my predicament...
I have the Tiger discs that came with my iMac. I have since bought and installed Leopard on my iMac. I was assuming that I could install my unused Tiger discs on the mini but have come to find out that is probably not going to work (discs are machine specific?).
So what I am wondering if there is a way to load Tiger onto the mini from the iMac using Target Disc Mode? If not, where can one find the unit specific version of 10.4? I just feel really dumb and thought that this would be an easier process. My mom's birthday is coming up soon and I just really want to have this done for her before it.
Another question, is anyone aware of what firmware updates the seller may have been alluding to?
I really do appreciate your time and assistance in this matter.
Thank you

Specifically this is the only order that will work with Target Disk Mode:
1. Setup the Mac with a broken or incompatible optical drive in target disc mode.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
2. Boot off Leopard or Tiger on the working optical drive of the non-target mode machine. Connect the two machines via Firewire cable.
3. Install Leopard or Tiger.
Since a PowerPC Mac won't boot an Intel Tiger, and the Intel Mac won't boot a PowerPC Tiger, the initial assumption here won't work with Target mode.

Mac mini (mid 2007) can this be ugraded to lion or only snow leopard?

i currently running 10.5.8 with 4gigs of ram and 80 gig harddrive.

A Core Duo Intel Mac can only go to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
A PowerPC Mac mini can only go to Mac OS X 10.5.8.
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu to find what CPU the computer has. Core Duo isn't the same as Core 2 Duo.

Intel Mac mini or Macbook or intel imac?

What would be the performance difference between these 3 for Logic or audio production purpose? Are these all as fast as the dual G5 towers which people used to say were the fastest just a couple of months ago?

I'm using MBP 17 and Intel mini core Duo with Logic Pro 7.2.1 and it's great. I can't compare it to a G5 because I've never had one but compared to my G4 Powerbook the MBP kills it. The mini is great to both run lots of plugins and instruments.

Does the newest mac mini ($799 one) support intel vt-d when use the virtual machine like fusion?

I've got some info about this mac mini. the cpu is i5-2520M? which support vt-d. at least intel's page say it can.
I want make sure about this before i buy it, plesas help. thank you~~!

Well, I'm still working on this issue. I know it has something to do with Airport traffic, but not all types of Airport traffic, because I wrote a test program to stream tons of bits across the network, but it doesn't hiccup a bit. My guesses are Airport traffic that writes to the Firewire drives (hence not catchable in a one by one test, since it takes two) or Airport AFP traffic. I'm debating the best way to test these theories. By the way, if I leave the problem long enough, I do eventually crash the computer. Deals with memory allocation, but hardware tests pass.

My mac mini is 2007 and has a core duo so I cannot install lion which needs a 2 core duo. Does this exclude me from the iCloud or is there a way I can upgrade my mac mini?

Mac mini duo core. I want to join the iCloud as I have MobileMe . However my mac mini has a dou core and not a 2 duo core I cannot by the lion app to install. Is there anyway I can upgrade my mac mini to 2 duo core? Or get the iCloud installed any other way?

You must have Lion to use iCloud, although you can still access iCloud.com for the web services. Your email is unaffected.

Lion upgrade fails on Mac Mini mid 2007 model

I have a mid 2007 model Mac Mini, 1.86 dual core model. When I try to install Lion I get an error failed because a recovery partition could not be created. I have freed space, with 30 gigabytes free. I have tried to clone my hard drive using Disk Utilities and an external drive with the thought of booting to the external drive and using it to clone my main drive, to perform a defrag. That process also fails. It gets 99% done and with 7 minutes left it fails to clone the main hard drive to the external.
Can anyone help me from here?

There is no problem if you take the right precautions, there are plenty of guides on youtube like this one

Upgrading mac min G4 proccessor to intel proccessor

hi
does anybody know of a way to upgrade the old mac minis to work with the new intel chips as i can't afford to get a new mac mini? please let me know
luke

In one word, no.
The architectures are not the same. You have to follow the same upgrade cycle Mac users have used for decades, and replace whole machine.
You can always try and sell your current one, people seem to pay crazy prices for old Macs.

What kind of HDD should I buy for Mac mini late 2007

1. Toshiba or Hitachi or Maxtor or Fuji...?
2. 2.5" SATA or 2.5" SATA2 or..?
3. What brand and specification inside the New Mac mini(March 2009 later) for 120GB and 320GB?

Toshiba, Hitachi and Maxtor have varied histories when it comes to letting bugs get out of the manufacturing process. That's why I mentioned Seagate. I don't know how good Fuji is.
