• trying to erase macmini, but losing internet

  I need to delete my old MacMini, but the internet is not connected when I

  Turn it back on. My service provider said that it is a product problem?

  Thank you

  Why do you need Internet to erase the hard drive? According to your profile you are running Snow Leopard on your Mini. So, see the following:

  Snow Leopard erase and install

  Remember to only back up your files.

  1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
  2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
  3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears and wait for loading to complete.
  4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of sheets to (1) on the menu drop down. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
  5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
  6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
  7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
  8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.

• Bootcamp partition Windows will not start since WinUpdate

  I'm working on a MacMini (mid 2011) on which a bootcamp partition has been installed. I had to work on windows update etc...

  So I did update from our wsus server, and then restart Windows, windows no longer starts. There was a line of white underscore flashing on a black screen.

  I tried to see if the Mac partition (10.7) was able to start. It has been altered too, but I was able to reinstall it.

  __

  on windows, I followed these instructions: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4936761?tstart=0

  To do this, I created a USB bootable key WIN10 (regardless of the Version of the OS in this case), I started on it to access the repair menu. Here, I opened the CMD and had results of the thesis:

  
  x:\sources>cd c:\ 
  
  x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /Fixmbr 
  
  Operation succeed 
  
  x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /FixBoot 
  
  Operation succeed 
  
  x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd 
  
  Number of windows installation identified : 1 Add the installation to boot list ? : O 
  
  Asked System Device not found. 
  

  I assumed it was due to drivers for windows compatibility. (something like record of $ $WinPEDriver), but no idea how to put them on my bootcamp partition, previously never worked with bootcamp.

  I should also mention, I tried a classic Windows repair, he told me that my windows partition has been locked. I assumed it was a problem of version of bootcamp. I've updated everything on my mac partition, but he found no update for bootcamp. Right now I'm preparing a bootable usb key with both 'iso' and 'windows compatibility modules' activated with bootcamp assistant.

  I don't know when it happens, but now, when I try to boot on my bootcamp partition, there are only blackscreen (not slider more). But also, my screen flashes as if he finally gets the signal just before the black screen.

  I need your help for:

  -Fixed problem starting Windows partition, OR...

  -Give me a way to get the activation key for the license of the installed windows (without starting it (if it exists)), so I can reinstall it correctly.

  Thanks for the kind help and forgive my bad English.

• Help required with the MacMini Fusion Drive

  Hi all

  I recently bought a second hand end 2012 MacMini i7 wth a fusion drive. The previous owner had created a windows partition. I don't want to return the machine to its original out of the box factory for my use, as I did not need to run windows on it.

  I'm fighting to get the fusion drive to merge. Currently, I have two separate discs that I named her 329 and 781 GB. Disk utility shows that both drives are very good. I rebooted into Recovery Mode to use online disk utility and readers are not displayed in red, and so there is no option to fix them.

  I used the Terminal (after reading online) and it provides the following information:

• Disappeared from the EFI partition

  Hello

  I have a macmini end of 2012. I have the dual boot with Windows 8.1 and Yosemite. I also have a third FAT partition for data sharing.

  So, my setup looks like this, in Windows:

  

  The problem is that the EFI partition is gone, so I could do reach log Windows using an external backup drive, which also had a copy backup of the EFI partition. Yes, I basically cloned this drive for a long time and I've tested all the BONES on the external hard drive, and they were all bootable. Thus, using this trick, I managed to get into Windows.

  But now that I got under Windows I see as the missing EFI partition. I recently installed a customized for Win8.1 shell that makes it look like Win10. This software must have messed with the EFI partition, I don't see anything else that might have caused this.

  Just before the disc became starts plu I tried a few bar custom this custom, shell that uses the app mode of Win8.1 full screen, and when I tried to quit it by closing it, he suddenly threw an error message, I clicked on cancel, then the system froze.

  I pressed the power button to restart, then it's just stuck in a gray screen for minutes. Pressing ALT does not display the start menu. So, I concluded that the EFI must be wasted, so after the POWER test the computer does not find a bootable floppy. But I get no message, like the missing disk or stuff like that.

  I know that there are some tools that you can use to fix your EFI partition. It runs on Windows, because I'm not sure that I can boot into OS X Yosemite. In addition, as you can see the free space on drive D, where I installed Yosemite is not reported correctly. Which clearly indicates that there must be some data from corrupt volume information.

  Please install GPT Fdisk on the side Windows of https://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/ and your drive can be inspected.

  In most cases, EFI is usually invisible. The 200 MB in the first instalment on disk0 seems to be your EFI. It may be a problem with the MBR is structured.

• PowerPC G5 w/10.5 - compatible printer

  I had the computer of my father from an old macmini with 10.4 installed on a PowerPC G5 with 10.5 installed. (a small update, but not by much, I know) I now seem to have problems printing. I had picked up through Freecycle a printer for several years - a Canon Pixma MG3220. It is not really compatible with their computer / wasn't able to use the scanner part / but I was able to print from it issues. Now I switched to computers. There is no compatible drive. I have no idea how I managed to do print before. But the weekend online research be on a stand that everything is now requiring a computer intel. Even readers of Gutenprint (requires 10.6 or more now) is when I turn to you, wonderful people for help. Can you direct me to a site that has a drive for this for older, non-intel computers? OR recommend another printer that will be compatible? But there is no need to be a scanner as well. A simple printer is all that is needed for my father, old person. Oh, he should be an airprint, like myself and my mother use / print from iPads.

  Any help / recommendations would be wonderful.

  Thank you

  Rebecca

  Your best option is to visit the Canon support site. Here you can find the drivers for this specific model. Make sure what you're looking for a compatible driver because all available drivers can be to newer versions using Intel processors instead of PPC processors.

• Mac App Store get confused with partitions/external records

  I have a MacMini with 2 HD.

  One with El Capitan and the other with the Mavericks.

  When I installed El Capitan, I realized Mac App Store by default update all applications even those of Partition of the Mavericks.

  So I disassembled the Mavericks score (and changed the preferences) and

  I re - download an app from the Mac App Store from my ElCapitan boot.

  Once downloaded, it wasn't on the Applications folder.

  But in a folder (volume) with the name of an external drive. (not plugged in during installation) I found it, by launching the application via LaunchPad and display in the Finder menu in the Dock.

  This Application has been on this external backup drive, it is true. and the drive be connected at one time or another. But it is not plugged in during this installation.

  I can see this Volume of fake in the Terminal, but not with DiskUtility.

  If I plug the drive, I in /Volumes: ExternalDiskName and ExternalDiskName2!

  How can I remove this fake (Ghost) Volume!

  And why the Mac App Store is looking everywhere and not only on the system partition. It's a mess!

  Thank you!

  1. choose go to folder in the Finder Go menu and drag the folder /Volumes/ as the path to provide.

  2. the Mac App Store will search any location indexed by Spotlight.

• I resized the Partition Mac to make more space for BootCamp and now Windows will not boot

  On a collague MacBook Air running 10.11.4, we used disk utility to reduce the Mac Partition so that we could then use a Windows tool to extend the BootCamp partition. However, upon restart, we got a BACK screen with the error that Windows cannot start because it cannot find the boot device.

  Help, please?

  This is not a mechanism supported by Apple to change the size of the Windows partition. Apple supports the remove/reinstall only.

• Bootcamp Windows - partition cannot be mounted

  Hey all,.

  I've been using Windows on my iMac (late 2012, Yosemite 10.10.5) without problem but today after I started MacOS Yosemite (to control simple file), cannot start again to return to Windows. Had no problem Bootcamp before... have not used to any advantage either 3rd disk utility. The only thing I have recently increased the Windows size 200 GB partition by decreasing the MacOS partition through disk utility (a month ago, no problem since then until today)

  1. Windows has disappeared from the startup disk

  

  2. disk utility shows disk0s4 gray and cannot be mounted. In addition, the correct partition size was 700 but here its listed as 500 GB GB (which was the old size before you increase it)

  

  3 when I try to restart with pressed ALT, Windows, but cannot restart, with a black screen showing "a disk error occurred.

  

  I'm not very familiar with techniques more. Only, I tried to install "Find" but cannot achieve anything with it.

  I tried your advice above and seems THAT NTFS is there...

  

  one last thing... when I try to check disk0s4, said "it should be repaired. When I hit repair; It says this:

  

  Need my Windows as soon as POSSIBLE, what more should I do?

  I don't have not upgraded to Sierra again. That I should? Or it will be even worse?

  I have tons of files on Windows that I need and unfortunately not supported for a while anywhere (sorry about that now).

  Help, please...

  stuff more to indicate...

  

  and I know if it's significant but cmd + s & ' fsck - fy "has not done anything other than check the Mac partition.

• Bootcamp partition no longer works

  I decided one day that I tried to install Ubuntu on my Macbook.  At the point where I had an OSX and a partition, Bootcamp for Windows 10.  I followed the instructions to install rEFInd to install Ubuntu, but had trouble with her and decided to uninstall.  I made a mistake when uninstalling and may have accidentally deleted a small partition that I thought was part of the Ubuntu installation.

  Now, when I try to boot into Windows, I get an error that tells me to use a recovery disk:

  Error recovery:

  0xc000000e

  I created a Windows 10 bootable USB installation to try to repair the installation, I ran the diagnostic startup a few times, but not yet able to boot into Windows.

  Now, Boot Camp disk no longer display when I run startup disk.  He always shows up when I hold the Alt key when turning on/off, I just always get error 0xc000000e.

• We can establish a common partition for Mac OS and Windows Boot Camp

  I'm new to Mac, so please excuse my ignorance.

  I have a MacBookPro 11 mid-2015 with 512 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM.

  I have Mac OS X El Capitan and that you have installed 10 Windows using the Boot Camp utility on a 150 GB partition. I wanted a common partition on exFAT which could serve as a repository for my data either of the OS. My intention - 150 GB for Mac OS - 200 GB of data - 150 GB for Windows 10. How can this be achieved?

  Earlier, after the Boot Camp, I reduced the Mac OS to 350 GB partition to 150 GB and released 200 GB. Formatting this turned me expensive because it stopped my Windows to start. Repair it was a waste of time and effort. I draw the hard Windows on a Mac is sensitive to changes in the partition.

  In addition, is using Virtual Box better than Boot Camp? I don't have as much virtualized environments.

  Please advice.

  You can connect an external drive of ExFat formatted. The OSX and Windows can read/write on a disk formatted ExFat.

  A virtual machine has its advantages, as does a Boot Camp facility. A virtual machine allows the simultaneous OS, any necessary initialization to change operating systems. Data can be shared between operating systems more easily. Computer such as memory resources are shared in a VM for applications environment to run slower.

  Installation of Boot Camp allows Windows to run in native mode by using all of the system resources, so apps will go faster. But to change operating systems, a reboot is required. It is more difficult to share data.

• partition boot camp disappeared after resizing Macintosh HD

  Hello

  I have a macbook pro with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

  I had a windows 8.1 installed on boot camp and ran out of space on windows, so I tried to extend the space by adding a new partition on mac and then merge on windows using the "minitool' but when I rebooted with now that the ALT key was not the boot camp partition...

  I then started the mac and changed the boot disk in boot camp and restarted and it gave me a message "there is no disk bootable..." or something like that.

  It's really important not to lose the windows and more important still do not have to format the new laptop please (because I had a similar problem before Re: Partitioning a Hard Drive Error on MacBook Pro)

  I tried to check for similar discussions but seemed to I'll do it is harder to resolve because I do not understand most of what is said and was afraid to do worse.

  Hello MayMedhat,

  I understand the partition Boot Camp have been adjusted and you are no longer able to access the windows on your MacBook Pro.  Because you cannot access side Windows of your Mac after setting, you must recreate your Boot Camp partition and reinstall Windows on your Mac.

  Set up Windows on your Mac partition
  
  

  Change the size of the partition

  It is not possible to change the size of the partition after installing Windows, but you can delete the partition and create a new partition to the correct size. Do not try to resize your Windows partition or a third-party application.

  See you soon.

• Impossible to install 10 Windows on Bootcamp partition

  #1

  Hello! I just tried to install Windows 10 on my Macbook with a 32 GB USB using Bootcamp. Everything was fine until I came to the part where I have to choose the partition where I want to install my Windows 10 and of course I chose the Bootcamp partition, but in fact I couldn't click on 'next' (I was so stupid and don't format it).
  So I just format the Bootcamp partition and when I tried to click 'next' he just told me 'we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. I went through google and searched all regarding this problem and there are a lot of guys having almost the same or exactly the same 'error' when trying to install 10 Windows on the Bootcamp partition, but nothing has really helped me. I deleted everything except my USB key and someone told me that I should only have 4 partitions or less.
  He shows me the 4 partition but there are two partitions (3) and two partition (1).
  Is this a problem?
  Here is a picture of my diskutil list: https://i.gyazo.com/f554fb8aac609c2420f55f9696fa06a6.pnggiven that English is not my native language, I'm sorry for my bad spelling.
  I hope someone can help me install Windows 10 with Bootcamp! Thank you very much!
