How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

    If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    If you have an earlier model:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • How can I partition internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

    I recently purchased MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011) model with OS X v10.7.2 Lion installed. I've upgraded to OS X v10.7.3 Lion and updated all other software.
    I require Windows 7 for some Windows based softwares that do not support Mac OS X. Therefore, used Boot Camp 4.0 to install Windows 7 and then tried partitioning single internal HDD  to have 3 partitions (4 total including BOOTCAMP partition). Disk Utility created a 648.5MB partition and then I was able to create 3 other partitions of custom sizes. After applying these changes, I got an error message that said selected volume size is too small. I resized this 648.5MB partion to a custom size and had total 4 partitions, including BOOTCAMP.
    After reapplying these changes, BOOTCAMP partition was removed and I was left with only 3 partitions and empty space.
    I've tried several different ways to partition the disk, all in vein. Is there a way I can partition my single internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

    You can't do what you want with GUI utilities, which will only allow a total of 4 partitions due to the limitation of MBR needed to support Windows. Those four partitions: EFI System (hidden), Mac OS, Recovery HD (hidden), Windows. So with Lion, you only get two visible partitions if you're going to use Windows with BootCamp. You can't make anymore with the included graphical tools.
    If you need more partitions you'll need to use something like GPT fdisk (gdisk) to create the partitions in the GPT first. Then add the Windows partition only to the MBR and flag it as bootable. gdisk can be googled and downloaded for Mac OS X off sourceforge. It is not a GUI tool.

    Do you have a Time Machine backup or clone?  If not,
    all is lost if you have in fact deleted your OSX partition
    and you will have to do a reinstall from Recovery HD
    and install all else.

  • I have lost pictures in iPhoto, but I can see them in the data folder, except they are only thumbnail size.  They will not open at regular size and are showing unreadable in the "originals" folder.  I've rebuilt and nothing is restoring these pics.

    I have lost pictures in my iPhoto.  We moved my iPhoto to a external hard drive and I believe since then, I have random pics missing.  Some pics will show up in the "photos" and some show with a title and a blank picture.  When I click on "package contents" in iPhoto, I have found the "Originals" folder where all the pics are pulling from and the file is there but won't open.  However, in the DataXML folder under package contents, I can open the file but it is much smaller (supposed to be 1 MG, but showing in the data folder as 63kb).  How can I get these pics restored in the Originals folder?  I've rebuilt the library several times and I just ran the iPhoto Library Manager and it won't pull from the data file.  Help!!

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I can't reinstall Windows 7/8 via Boot Camp

    Hi all,
    So, I've got an SSD + HD (in optical bay) drive combination in my Mid-2012 MBP. Originally, I had successfully installed Boot Camp onto my HD using Windows 8. Ran without problems. Then, I decided to remap the partitions on it, which messed up the boot record. So, since I didn't do any research, I decided it would be fine to just delete the Windows partition and try to start over.
    I've reformatted my HD to a single partition, setup my flash drive via Boot Camp Assistant, and allowed Boot Camp Assistant to repartition my HD for Windows. However, now every time it boots into the Windows Installer, I get the following error.
    'Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu.'
    This threw me completely off. How can I resolve this issue?
    I've even tried to install Windows without the SSD plugged in. It won't give me the error then, but when the installer starts, it'll fail saying the installer is missing files or has corrupt files. This happens with both the flash drive and the DVD.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    wtcnbrwndo4u

    After a bit of searching, it appears that Boot Camp can only be installed properly with a single drive in the system. When I think about it, I'm pretty sure I installed Boot Camp before I got my SSD, which makes sense.
    So, I think I figured it out. If anyone can confirm, let me know.
    Thanks.

  • Bridge cannot build criteria, goes on and on and then tells me to clear cache, which I've done, but it still cannot open. I can see everything in the Mac Finder no problem. What to do?

    I recently moved all of my images to a Mac from a Dell. Everything was perfect, but a few weeks ago I started getting an error message in Bridge that it could not read (not sure of this) the criteria and that I should go into preferences and clear the cache. Which I did. Now when I open bridge it sees a few images and then says it's building criteria, for like hours, and then the same error comes back. I don't know what to do.  Any ideas? I can see everything in Finder or search, everywhere but bridge. it's the same for .psd, .jpg or raw.
    Thank you,

  • Can't start up with Mac osx after installing windows on partition

    Hello guys.
    I installed windows on a partition of 100gb and I restarted the iMac so I can log on to Mac osx.
    I hold down the option key after I hear the sound but only the windows disk appears there.
    I tried the DVD that came with my Mac by holding down the "c" key but nothing happened. I was holding it down for 2-3 minutes.
    I need some help here
    Is there a way to boot Mac again?
    Is there a chance I deleted Mac osx by installing windows?
    And if there is how the **** am I getting it back since the osx DVD does not boot??
    Thanks in advance

    The Macbook will not allow you to startup with your Install DVD while you have Open Firmware password enabled. Disable that first, then try again....

  • Magic Mouse not working in Windows 8.1 via Boot Camp

    Hi,
    I'm using Windows 8.1 on a Mac Pro 64 bit with Mavericks.
    On an internal SSD I installed Boot Camp 5.1.5621 and Windows 8.1.
    Everything is working fine, except for the Bluetooth mouse, which is not recognized.
    If I try to add the Bluetooth mouse via Settings/Change PC settings/PC and devices/Add a device, the system can't see it.
    The Bluetooth icon is not visible in Device Manager:
    I remember that with Windows 8 for a while I had the same problem, till it was solved after installing a generic Bluetooth driver, but now I don't remember where I found it and which it was.
    I have been looking for that piece of software for months, I've tried with many, but with no result.
    I've been googling any kind of article, doing many trials, with no result, and I'm getting crazy.
    The Apple support directs me toward Microsoft support, while Microsoft support directs me toward Apple support.
    Maybe that with 8.1 there are no chances?
    Or there is a workaround?
    Can someone help?
    Many thanks in advance!

    In the $WinPEDriver$ folder I can see the same files I see in yours: I'm enclosing a picture.
    I'm enclosing also the picture of the About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Bluetooth window, describing the hardware.
    Thanks!

  • JMS Error when using OJMS/AQ in OC4J 9.0.2 but not in OC4J 9.0.3

    Hi,
    I tried to use OJMS/AQ as the JMS provider in OC4J 9.0.2 and OC4J 9.0.3. Resource providers in both the containers point to the same Oracle database (9.0.1.3.0) using the same user account.
    JMS works fine with OC4J 9.0.3 but not with OC4J 9.0.2.
    During the start-up of 9.0.2 container, it successfully connects with Oracle AQ, finds queues in AQ but finally comes back with an error message saying "JMS Error: invalid arguments in call". It does not provide any more information about the error.
    Does any one have got any clue why this error message occur during startup? Any assistance is appreciated.
    The following is the definition of Resource provider in config/application.xml:
    <resource-provider class="oracle.jms.OjmsContext" name="ispojms">
    <description> OJMS/AQ </description>
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@Hduna1.corporatetesth.nsw.edu.au:1527:ISP"></property>
    <property name="username" value="ISPDBA"></property>

    Hi Balaji,
    What most likely is happening is that you have mismatched versions of apapi.jar (client side) and the database, thus the reason for the "invalid arguments in call" error you're seeing.
    If you're using 9.0.1.3 of the database it should be patched with patch #2416054. Go to Metalink and do a search for this patch to find it. You can then use the apapi.jar that comes with the patched version of the DB or the apapi.jar that comes with v9.0.3.
    By the way, v9.0.3 and 9.0.1.3 + patch is a J2EE 1.3 compatible JMS server.
    I'm guessing that you used the apapi.jar that came with v9.0.2 with the v9.0.1.3 database and that you've probably already applied the above patch. If you have then just take the apapi.jar that came with v9.0.3 and use it in your v9.0.2 environment.
    In short:
    v9.0.3 apapi.jar matches with v9.0.1.3 + patch
    v9.0.3 apapi.jar also matches with v9.0.1.4
    v9.0.2 apapi.jar matches with v9.0.1.3
    Hope this helps...
