Can't select boot disk after restart from Windows 7

I installed Windows 7 RC 7100 on the Mini a while ago and it is working now using the Apple drivers and an updated chipset driver from Nvidia... except:
When I restart the machine from OS X and hold the Option key I get the disk selection screen and I can boot into either OS. But, when I restart the machine from Windows 7 and hold the option key I do not get the disk selection screen and the machine boots into OS X. I have also encountered issues with the Bluetooth keyboard not being recognized after restarting from Windows 7, but this does not happen consistently and seems to occur mainly when I hold down the Option key.
Any suggestions for a fix, tweak or workaround? Thanks.

Are you using a wired keyboard?
Are yo saying that when you boot while depressing ALT it just tries to boot to Windows with not options or anything showing on the screen
Try another keyboard

  • My MacBook Air lost mac os x. So I would like to reinstall mac os. But I can't select the disk to install mac os x. Only Recovery HD is shown and I can't select it. How can I reinstall my Mac os x.

    My MacBook Air lost mac os x. So I would like to reinstall mac os. But I can't select the disk to install mac os x. Only Recovery HD is shown and I can't select it. How can I reinstall my Mac os x? Thank you!

    you can download the mac os x recovery hd and run the setup to a flash drive using another mac computer running os x 10.7,(so that while installation the os x setup can varify your computer's serial no. and provide you the installation setup through internet)
    or the time machine backup(if you have)
    Now boot through the flash drive and follow the steps to install mac os x
    here is the link to download the recovery hd for flash drive

  • How can I select more than one song from the search results?

    I want to create playlists based on certain words in the song title. For example, I may want to create a playlist of all my songs with LOVE in the title.
    Doing the search is easy, but I can't select more than one song at a time. Is there any way in iTunes 12 for Windows to do this? I found an answer in iTunes for Mac, and it basically says to "un-check "Search Entire Library." " but I don't see that option in iTunes for Windows.
    Here is the link to that question: how can i select more than one song from drop down search bar
    I hope some Windows user can help me out.

    Found the "Search Entire Library" option - click on the small (VERY small for my eyesight) down arrow next to the magnifying glass. Also need to select "Filter by: Songs", and then the songs in the main window show the results.
    I'm going to leave this up on the board because 1) in case someone else has this question, and 2) I don't know how to delete it anyway.

    Hi:
    See if installing the chipset driver directly from AMD installs the USB3 controllers. Install and reboot.

    There are no drivers for the CD/DVD drive. They should have been installed automatically by Windows.

    Unable to install iTunes after converting from Windows Vista to Windows 7.  Am told installation was successful, then "iTunes was not installed correctly", followed by "Error 7 (Windows error 193).  I have my iPod plugged into my computer via USB port.  What am I doing wrong?

    i have the only account on my laptop so have checked and am the account administrator
    i run windows 7 home premium
    I have the same problem and
    have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
    then restarted as per instructions,
    went to Apple to download itunes,
    hit download now,
    Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
    did not get a save instead of run prompt
    Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
    If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
    i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
    If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.

    The installer should have gone into your Apple Software Update folder:

    Right mouse click the msi file and select INSTALL

  • Scanner of HP 8500 A909g does not work after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10

    After upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and subsequent upgrade of printer software, the scanner functionality did not work. When I tried to uninstall the printer software I got the message "HP uninstaller has stopped working". After another upgrade of printer software the scanner was still not working. How can I get around this problem? Update:
    I followed the instructions for a similar problem with Windows 8 on http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Scan-doesn-t-work-on-Solution-Center-after-migrating-to-Win/td-p/2228367.After this, the scanning seems to work. Not sure whether it is possible to uninstall, though (don't want to try since it is working).

    I had the same problem with my Officejet Pro 8600 All-in-One scanner, sfter upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. After uninstalling and then reinstalling the printer driver, the problem is solved. You can look up the model of your printer on HP's support site and download it from there. Apparently, not all printers are compatible with Windows 10. In that case, they recommend you buy a new printer. ;-)

    Are you talking about an iCloud backup? If so, no, an iCloud backup cannot be viewd, it can only be restored to another iOS device.

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep in OS X after reboot from Windows (again!)

    This problem originally occurred about a year ago and no solution was found then but after a time, it simply went away. Well, now it's back: after a reboot into OS X (10.6.7) from Windows (7 Ultimate 64 Bit), my MacBook Pro refuses to sleep until rebooted a second time, after which it behaves correctly again. The Console log reports the following message: "System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold)". I've disabled Growl and DropBox (possible suspects last time) to no effect, reset the SMC and PRAM, all the usual things. I've tried when connected to mains power or battery, on wired, wireless or no network at all and still the same problem. Sleep behaviour under Windows is correct. Hopefully the problem will eventually cure itself as it did last time but I would like to discover the reason and find out what this "remote login session" could possibly be. To reiterate, this ONLY occurs immediately after rebooting from Windows.

    Tried repairing BootCamp in 7, no change, don't think there was anything wrong with it in the first place.
    Here is a section of the log after reboot from BootCamp and it says "System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold)". This ONLY happens after a reboot from Bootcamp, after another reboot all goes back to normal. What could the "active remote login session" be?
    From log:
    21/04/2010 23:08:56 kernel PM notification cancel (pid 16, configd)
    21/04/2010 23:08:56 kernel IOPMrootDomain: idle cancel
    21/04/2010 23:12:00 configd[16] PowerManagement configd: System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold).
    21/04/2010 23:12:00 configd[16] PowerManagement configd: tty sleep preventer: /dev/console
    21/04/2010 23:12:00 configd[16] PowerManagement configd: System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold).

  • Where can i download boot camp 3.0 for windows 7, where can i download boot camp 3.0 for windows 7

    where can i download boot camp 3.0 for windows 7

    You can't. It is included with a version of OS X. and to my knowledge for Win 7 you need BC 4. Which should already be installed.

  • Can we migrate SAP 40B release system from windows NT to windows 2003.

    Hi,
    We want to know can we migrate SAP 40B release system from windows NT to windows 2003 server; if yes, please share with us the OS migration document.
    Regards,
    R Mav

    > Our SAP 4 O B is on windows NT and oracle version is 8.0.5 and wants to do OS migration from NT to win. 2003.
    Neither Oracle 8.0 nor 8i were releases on Windows 2003, they won't work and are not released.
    So I'm afraid the only way you can go is Windows 2000.
