Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk. Any help ideas ?

Everything works fine but the Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk.
When I am in Win7 I am easily rebooting my iMac by right-clicking on the Bootcamp icon.
When I am in Mac OS I wish to do same but that Bootcamp icon does not appear. Everytime I am restarting my iMac and pressing on the Option key to select the Windows disk.
Does anyone have an idea how to adjust to bring the Bootcamp icon to the Startup Disk panel ?

Use BootChamp instead; perhaps you have an NTFS 3rd party driver installed and has its own control panel.

  • Have a 10.6.8 mac and the icloud icon does not appear on the system preferences

    Hello,
    I have a 10.6.8 mac and the icloud icon does not appear on the system preference, even if I'ved upgraded the software.
    Renee

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Trackpad preferences does not appear in the system preferences

    Hi.
    My Macbook Pro has Snow Leopard version os x 10.6.8.
    For any reason that I do not know, I am unable to use all the functionalities of the trackpad like rotate a picture etc.
    Besides that, if I go to the System Preferences Folder, and select the Trackpad preferences pane, I find a clear window... all the options about trackpad functionalities disappeared and I do not know how to restore it.
    Besides that, now my trackpad does not appear to have all functionalities operational. For example, in order to open a file, now I have to press twice the trackpad. Before, it only was necessary to tap twice the trackpad, without pressure on it.
    Does anyone knows how to solve this?
    Thank you in advance,
    PA Sousa

    Hi yong88
    Try to reset PRAM and PMU.
    Try to boot from installer disk and press D for hardware diagnostic.
    Try to repair permission.
    Go to system preference > International > Input menu > check only UK.
    Install a fresh OS X might resolve the problem (back up your file first).
    Check the connection from logic board to the keyboard and re-attached that and see how it works.
    Good Luck

    Reset your iPad. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till you iPad starts on it's own. Now try and download an app.

  • After installing an App, the icon does not appear on the desktop?

    After installing an App, the icon does not appear on the desktop? Where would I find it?

    Some people have found that an app (usually iBooks for some reason) hasn't appeared on a homescreen until after the iPad has been reset and has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Also depending on what the app is have you got an age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

    Police does not appear in the left corner iMovie11 viewer, any idea?

    Hi Bengt,
    actually I just found what is the problem, if I choose the Halo effect in the Title navigator (sorry if the words are not exactly it, mine is in French so I translate) I do not have the "show the polices" in the upper left corner of the viewer, but if I choose another one like a lateral effect, it appears and I can modify the polices and colors of my title. Go figure?!
    I spent maybe 2 hours trying to understand that, well I think it is a glitch, but maybe just on the French version, I don't know.

  • After installing FF 6.02 on Windows 7, the icon does not appear on the desktop and the program does not appear in the All Programs menu

    I just received a new laptop running windows 7 home premium and wanted to install Firefox on it. I tried to install the most recent version. When i installed 6.0.2, the icon did not appear on my desktop (it was a hidden file in my desktop folder) and the program group does not appear in the start menu's All Programs list. The program *does* run though, at least it did a few times. This happened whether i installed as administrator or not. Installing firefox 3.6.22, though, DID create the program group and desktop icon, and upgrading from there removed them again. installing other programs (e.g. vlc, trillian, etc.) did not cause this behavior. I also tried this both with and without McAfee's realtime protection running.

    Please check your top toolbar left side, you should see a small arrow icon to expend the toolbar, located near the Tools option
    (Ignore the location side in the sample picture, it should be the opposite for your language )
    If you cannot locate the HP Smart Web Printing there either, Click Tools > Manage Addons
    and make sure the HP Smart Web Printing addon is enabled,

  • I have iCloud on my MacBook Air.  Trying to set up icloud on another device- MacBook Pro.  I have OSx version 10.5.8 on the Pro.   The iCloud does not appear on my system preference/ Internet

    How do I get the iCloud icon to appear in my System Preference/Internet & Wireless section to turn it on.  Again I only have Mobile Me icon.  When I check for updating of software it says there are no updates.  I currently have OS X Version 10.5.8 on the MacBook Pro that needs to have iCloud.

    iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  If you’re running 10.6.8 or earlier you will need to upgrade to either Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
    Mavericks requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    If you can run Mavericks, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If you can only run Lion or Mountain Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

  • Disk icon does not appear on Desktop, nor in Finder

    I have 4 disk drives:
    2 internal
    1 external (FireWire) divided into 2 partitions
    Only 3 of 4 drive icons appear on my desktop or in the Finder.
    I have this info from Terminal:
    <pre>DavePowerMac1800:/ davebarnes$ ls -aol /Volumes
    total 16
    drwxrwxrwt 7 root admin - 238 Feb 22 17:34 .

    drwxrwxr-t 34 root admin - 1258 Feb 22 14:30 GTechBootable60GB</pre>
    The missing icon belongs to DavesGTech173GB.
    As a side note, Path Finder (from CocoaTech) has no trouble finding this drive.
    Disk Utility finds the drive and returns this from Verify:
    <pre>Verifying volume “DavesGTech173GB”
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Checking Catalog hierarchy.
    Checking Extended Attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    The volume DavesGTech173GB appears to be OK.
    Mounting Disk
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume passed verification</pre>
    So, how do I get my icon back onto the desktop?
    thanks,
    dave

    Not sure I have a "magic answer" but from what you've said, and the fact that it does open just fine with the "open" command, my guess is that the invisible bit for the drive has mysteriously been set. It is there, there is nothing wrong with it, it has mounted just fine. It is just invisible to the Finder. Don't remember seeing a volume with the invisible bit set before, but I have seen many other things, including one poor guy's Applications folder.
    There are several ways to fix it, if that is indeed the case. The one I'm most familiar with involves using the Terminal, and the Developer Tools GetFileInfo and SetFile commands. If you don't have them, you can download them here:
    http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Public/setgetfile.zip
    Unzip and either put the two commands somewhere in your PATH or, if you don't know how to do that, you can just drag and drop the command into the Terminal. So if you did that, you would do something like this:
    DavePowerMac1800:/ davebarnes$ /Users/davebarnes/Desktop/setgetfile/GetFileInfo /Volumes/DavesGTech173GB/
    Hit return and see what the Terminal reports. I have the commands in my PATH, so when I run the command on a partition I have named OXey, I get this:
    -bash:~francine$ GetFileInfo /Volumes/OXey/
    directory: "/Volumes/OXey/"
    attributes: aVbstClinmed
    created: 08/05/2006 20:08:50
    modified: 02/17/2007 12:00:10
    The part you are interested in is the attributes. You'll see the second one is an upper case "V"--meaning it is invisible (I made it invisible for the purposes of this demonstration). To bring it back into view you use the SetFile command, with the attribute option and a lower case "v" to unset the invisible bit:
    -bash:~francine$ SetFile -a v /Volumes/OXey/
    or yours would be something like this (again presuming SetFile isn't in your PATH, but was downloaded and unzipped on the Desktop):
    DavePowerMac1800:/ davebarnes$ /Users/davebarnes/Desktop/setgetfile/SetFile -a v /Volumes/DavesGTech173GB/
    You'll need to relaunch the Finder or log out and back in to see the change.
    Of course, if the invisible bit hasn't been set, and GetFileInfo shows the normal lower case v to start with, then this definitely is not the magic answer!

  • I just bought a trackpad and the Icon does not show up in system preferences

    I just bought a magic trackpad and went to install it on my computer.  When I go into system preferences it does not have the trackpad icon to select.  My computer is a IMac 9,1 Intel Core 2 Duo

    Support started for the Magic Trackpad in Snow Leopard 10.6.4.   If you're still on Leopard as your profile indicates, it's to old to use the trackpad.
