External drive running on the new Mac Mini

I try to run an external hard drive that has mountain lion OS with Pro Tools HD of 10. My Mac Mini end of 2015 reads the device, but when I try to boot from it I got a clear x. I tried to start the external on my old macbook (circa 2005?) and I was able to load the operating system and Pro Tools. However, because of the sheet material of the Macbook, it is unnecessary. My main goal here is to start this player on my MacMINI, but I think that my hardware is too NEW? I don't know if Apple hardware is not designed for Mountain Lion. Help, please.

You cannot start a Mac from an OS older than what it came with. It has always been like that. If your Mini 2015 will not be able to boot from external.

  • Hello I have a subscription to creative cloud and I bought a new mac mini and want to know how to transfer my old programs on the new mac mini?

    Could someone help me, I have a new mac mini and I would like to know if you only have to connect to use programs that are included in my creative cloud subscription? I don't want that no extra charge is generated by the presence of 2 computers with programs. I just want what they in the new mac mini

    You must install the Manager of the CC on the new machine and log, as you did initially.  Then, you can install the applications that come with your subscription that was suitable for your system.  You are allowed to have two machines with working facilities, you don't have nothing to do with the original installation.  If you prefer, however, you can disconnect from the original so that it is no longer active.

  • CP1025nw with the new Mac Mini 10.8.4

    Hello world

    I bought a cp1025nw and a new mac mini with 10.8.4 a few weeks ago, I have problems with the implementation of wireless printing:

    1. as the mac mini is a novelty, it doesn't have the previous version of the printer driver installed, thats why the mac is not able to detect the update to the app store automatically;

    2. the installation disc comes with the printer only is not supported with 10.8.4.

    3. I tried to set up the printer using my old macbook air with 10.5.8, the most up-to-date printer driver is downloaded from the app store and successful installed in my macbook air, however, the printer could not find my network wifi during installation, it shows that:

    ' - Wireless Network Name: ""(Nothing in parentheses).

    and

    -Mode communication: infrastructure

    4. the printer self test report shows that the IP add of the network is 0.0.0.0 in the network information section, but there is a valid IP address Add (192.168.223.1) in the section of direct printing configuration.

    5. the printer works fine with usb connected;

    6. have you consulted with the people from Apple and HP on the phone, the apple people asked me to consult the HP people, then the people of HP asked me to set up the printer with an older version of Mac OS x (which I did), so that I can get the IP add after installation, and then configure the printer with the IP add on my new mac mini , but of course I couldn't get the IP add with what they said.

    7. I downloaded the printer driver more up-to-date on apple store (version 2.14) for my mini mac, the file works fine as I can open the file (unlike the configuration of HP disc invites the message: "your OSX is too new and not is not supported bla bla bla...) »).  However, there is nowhere where I can put in place the printer during installation, the file just happens by itself, installation, then telling me 'your installation is complete.', I dun even have the option of entry or to do any installation during the process;

    8. I am unable to connect the printer to my router because my router is provided by my owner and which is located under the sink in the kitchen =. = »

    9. I went through all the related topics posted here, I tried as much as I can displayed by other users, but always without success.

    The printer driver CP1025nw "drives me crazy", please help!

    Thank you very much!

  • Why CS4 is not opeining with camera raw when reinstalled in the new Mac Mini?

    Just bought a Mac Mini and installed from disc my CS4. It does not shot with the Canon 50 d raw files, but will open taken with Canon 20 d raw files. This photoshop CS4 worked very well for ALL of these files when it was installed in my old Mac Pro (2006 Vintage) tower. Why it works for a group of files and not the other? What could hurt in the relocation process?

    It seems that ACR is not updated to the new facility, try running ACR 5.7 update for CS4 can check.
