Boot camp not restarting to mac os4/5/2024 Fortunately, I noticed this and cut my software configuration short and finished the bootcamp operation. After Windows 10 installs, you can get carried away downloading other software to configure but the bootcamp program has a window lingering in the background waiting for user interaction. I did not have a code or registration key for Windows but I have an old hotmail account that let me sign into Windows 10. I also bought an external Roo something external DVD writer which connects with regular USB. I configured the windows partition in bootcamp for 128GB as I plan to try to load Quicken and TurboTax programs and files that were previously used on my Toshiba Windows 7 laptop. The mac mini has 32GB of RAM and 1TB solid state hard drive. The bootcamp program picked up the ISO right from the downloads folder. All the Apple documentation had me believe the mac mini was the only model that had to use the flash drive. I had a 32 GB flashdrive plugged into the hub. It went to the download folder with the extension of iso.download. I read the instructions to Bootcamp and went to the Microsoft page and downloaded the 64 bit Windows 10 home edition OS. I set up the mac mini similar to our 2009 early 27 inch iMac which still works well despite being limited to an older OS. The monitor is connected with a Belkin HDMI cable to the HDMI port 2 on the Samsung monitor. The Logitech unifying key goes into 1 USB port and a 4 port non-powered Belkin hub goes into the other USB port. I recently bought a mac mini, Logitech K780 wireless multi-purpose keyboard, using an old Logitech wired marble-man trackball and bought a new Samsung U28E570D monitor and Polk speakers with 3.5 mm connectors which go into the headphone jack. I realize my reply is more than a year old but it might help someone. There must be some way for me to switch bac to the Mac, or select a boot order, or. Perhaps I am not doing this key and hold down correctly ? Which key is the Option Key how (probably) labeled ? I read that re-starting and holding down the Option key should bring up a Boot Order screen, orĪutomatically go into the Mac OS, but it doesn't for me. The keyboard is a Logitech I think a model 780 (can't find model No. I also tried the fn key next to it, as well as the key labeled alt (in white on top/ and cmd squiggle symbol on the bottom in grey. The bottom part/symbol I think is for Windows. That has a line thru it the top part labeled start in white, and the bottom part labeledĪlt opt in grey. I tried restarting multiple times while holding down the key on the bottom of the keyboard Not in the ^ extra menu that you can pull up on the right side of bottom task bar. I do not have a Bootcamp Control icon anywhere on the Windows10 screen or task bars. No matter what I do or try, I cannot get it to open up to, or switch back to the Mac OS. I did the Bootcamp thing (big, big mistake apparently), and after a few tries W10 comes up.Īpparently it works fine, except that I cannot get it to recognize (any) wireless Mouse.Ī secondary problem for now, as I can use an old wired Mouse. Have a relatively new iMac, and am running the latest vers. Am in my 80's now, and, frankly, would be lost without you folks.
