i installed the window 7 ultimate OS in to my mac book pro. after that the partition is not supported and then the folder with question mark flashing on my screen. plaese helf me what to do next to resume mac mac os x?

Assuming that you tried to install Win 7 in bootcamp.
Power on the machine and press and hold the "option" key when you hear the bong sound.
Select the Macintosh HD icon and press "return" or just click on the icon.
Once booted into OS X go to System Preferences and select the Startup Disk icon and configure startup to use the Macintosh HD.

    Other than put disc in you don't give much info about what you've done. With the install disc inserted restart your Mac while holding the C key, that should start it up from the install disc. Should also work fine with a wireless Apple keyboard.

  • My MacBook pro stop working and it shows folder with question mark after this update,  it's not my fault,  Apple should solve the problem with out ask me to make payment

    After updating my MacBook pro it shows only a folder with question mark on it
    It is not my fault, Apple updates problem
    They should solve it fir me without make any payment
    Thanks

    Try starting your computer holding down the option key as soon as you hear the startup sound, and continue holding it. Hopefully, you will see the icon for your startup disk come up on your screen within a minute. Click on that icon and press return. If your machine starts up normally from there, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and reselect your startup volume

  • Switched on my imac 24inch intel based and all I get on screen is a folder with question mark flashing,I had backup on external hard drive but when I try to reinstall it can not find my mac hard drive

    Hi when I started my intel based imac this morning all I am getting is a folder with question mark in the middle flashing,I have external hard drive with backup,but when run disc utilities it does not show my mac hard drive.hope someone can help.(it's running mountain lion, well it was)

    Try starting up your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
    The question mark folder indicates your Mac cannot find a system folder to boot from.
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

  • Hi all - troubles sons mac book pro (bought Dec 2011). When he turn it on - get folder with ?  I assume can't find start-up items. trouble is - he can't get disk to go in

    HI all
    Pardon me for the stupid title - -been some time since on the forum
    This is much better.
    So the situation on son's Mac Book Pro.
    It seems a few days ago the computer would not take a CD - -not  huge deal
    Then suddenly he had trouble.
    Turned on computer and get the folder with the ?     I am pretty certain this means it
    can't find the start-up items.
    I guess he tried to do some "diagnostics on the internet - it was a Hardware diag.
    and said everything was OK but couldn't find a HD
    So he bought a new HD and we just installed it. Start tje computer and the same question in folder.
    He bought the HD from apple so not an aftermarket.
    I guess he is not sure where is start-up disks our (kids)   but what can we do now?
    He is at our house now and can't seem to connect to the internet becuase he can't see my network
    which is wireless.
    Is there something we can try - -should we re-install the old HD - -the new one may not be formatted
    not sure all we know is it was from Apple direct.
    He just told me the OLD hard drive could be read by a device at school.  So it seems perhpas the HD MAY? be
    OK  but there is some sort of communication thing going on.
    In the old dayson my G-3 slot  - -we would start up with a network
    Not sure how do do any of that on this book
    PLease help - - very important (he is a grad student and needs the computer that is why he paid for
    on day shipping
    What do we do?  Any tips tricks?\  please offer any ideas - -dad is stuck - -Thanks
    Jim

    Hello Grant - -Thanks - -
    I notice you are west of Boston - -we in Medford and son goes to Tufts in town
    (small world)
    Not really certain what you are telling us  - - I am not good at computers
    A couple of other things that may be tips - -
    1 - on wednesday of this week
    our son noticed the fan was going on almost continuosly,
    After that trouble started - -
    2. - When we put the new HD in - -same things happened,
    which is ? mark in folder (start-up items)
    3. - His computer will not see my wireless even if I put it next to my I-mac
    It sees several networks but not mine - -and if we type in my netwokr
    info - -it will not take.   He wanted to try a network start-up .
    I forget how that is done.
    4, - The bottom of the computer is getting hot - -much hotter than i think it should.
    any ideas why his computer won't see my router?
    I think he may just have to take it to Apple Store on Newbury Street.
    Would they be able to get his info off the old HD assuming it is still good and
    transfer to the new HD fairly easy.
    LAstly - - I am pretty certain I have the str-up disks for my I-mac which is running
    10.5.8.
    Would I be able to do anything with my computer and hook into his computer
    into mine like an external device or something like that
    I really appreciate your thoughts and efforts on this  and must admit I have no
    external enclosrure?  but I have an external HD on my I-mac
    As you can tell - -I am not to good at this
    Thanks from Meffa    (lol0   Jim the father

  • TS1506 I have just got a Mac Book Pro after 30 years of using Msoft products and now find a (in my opinion) a piddling issue with attachments in Mail - Apple - just fix it.

    After over forty years in IT I am actually a platform agnostic however I have come to expect some developmental maturity across all products, especially in generally ubiquitous apps such as email.  I am using OS X 10.8.3 on a 2013 build Mac Book Pro and am very happy overall. Is Apple planning on fixing the various problems with Attachments in Mail or are they relying on third party fixes and workarounds? 

    My apologies if I have caused offence, not my intention.  I was unable to view attachements but have since discovered an addon app which solves the problem very neatly.  By way of explanation my frustration comes from Apple appearing to indulge in client lock in as do Microsoft  - this practice was "invented" by IBM and only served to irritate clients and inspire excellent work arounds by third parties - much the same as I notice with Apple.  I thought Apple would have outgrown this after the IIe vs BBC but I see this is not the case.  I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and have no problems with Mail but am now unable to transfer material from Mac Pro to Ipod unless I use the icloud - something I do not want to do for a variety of reasons, not the least being able to transfer MY data without the use of an unsecured transition area.  I am very happy with the quality of the Mac Pro but less than happy with the restrictive practices of Apple; I realise Microsoft have similar practises but they are not as completely disruptive to what are generally simple operations commonly required when using computers.
    My thanks to all the others who reponded - this is my first foray into the world of forums and I will continue to learn the rules.

  • Folder with question mark when I start my computer... what does it mean?

    When I turn on my computer, intead of the apple sing, appears a folder with a question mark.,... and it never changes... help!

    It really means that your computer cannot find a valid startup drive. This can occur for several reasons, software corruption, hardware failure, or an incorrectly selected startup disk (although it will eventually find a valid drive in this case). You are going to need to boot from your install disk (or Lion Recovery if you are on 10.7) and use Disk Utility to repair your disk.

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

  • My Ac adapter Mac Book Pro G4 shorted. Got a new one and no reaction. Not even from the light. What now?  Could the laptop have gotten damaged inside?  Please,  what? KK

    Hallo,  my AC adapter Mac Book Pro G4 shorted.  Got a new one, and the laptop did not react,  not even the snooze light came on. Is it possible that it got damaged inside?  Which part, in that event, got damaged,  and   where do I look inside the laptop for which part to replace?  Did anyone of you had similar experience?

    If you keep getting a 'red' message it means that the HDD is faulty and will have to be replaced.  You will have to format the new HDD in Disk Utility>Erase and then install the OSX and your data from Time Machine.
    Ciao.

    Hi I have just got back from the apple store and the guy at the Genius bar looked at it and said it was a manufacturing fault, and because it has been like it since new, and seemed to be getting worse he replaced the computer  and I have a new warranty from today.
    We got the feeling as soon as he looked at it that he has seen this before, I did say to him I was concerned it would be a replacement screen and I was not really happy about that as it was so new, and he said that was the normal procedure, but as the fault was already there at new and it was getting worse they would replace. I could not have asked for a better service.
    Not unpacked this one yet but am hoping all is good, its a great little machine.
    Thank you for your responses, and I hope this might help someone else.  One thing it did not seem to be missing pixels but something to do with the screen production?
