Default post OSX retail install issues - 08-03-2009, 05:56 PM

Hello all,

I installed OSX on my Mini 9 - 1.6ghz processor, 2gigs RAM, 32gig runcore SSD. I used the Type11 install, with a OSX retail disk. Everything works but 2 things. Based on my searching i could not really find what I was looking for. Given I'm new please don't flame me!!

-Bluetooth can only be turned on via Bluetooth File Exchange
-When I close the lid I cannot get back into the computer without holding the power down for 5+ seconds then turning it back on.

How can I fix these problems??



Thank you in advance for any help you can offer
-Allan

You'll need to download NetbookInstaller http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/mac-...-released.html , a more recent installer. Running it inside OS X will fix your problems.

Just out of curiosity, how did you decide on using the Type11 method?

My friend found the info for me and we went with it and it worked...I will try your idea and see what happens!

Type11 works but it's an outdated method. I wanted to know how you guys found it so it will be easier to steer future visitors to methods that won't make them do the extra work you'll have to do.

What's the better method? I just buggered up the install and will be re-doing it from scratch

Use NetbookInstaller. Make sure you read the instructions thoroughly.
