Installed Windows 7 on my IMac, now I can't get Apple OS to work

Installed Windows 7 on my IMac, now I can't get Apple OS to work, I have tried booting with Snow Leopard disc in and nothing works. I had trouble from the start but now nothing works except Windows 7, sound wont work etc. etc.

I originally tried installing Widows 7 so I could run my Flight Simulator X on the IMac I got from my daughter and I used BootCamp and had partitioned it at about 4GB for windows and the first thing I got was I had to put a bootable disc in and neither the windows 7 or Snow Leopard would work. Then I got Windows 7 to work but I can't get Snow Leopard to run, when I put the disc in it says that it not supported. Of course windows wont show me anyother areas of the disc that I could try to get to, the other side of the partition I guess. I have tried holding the C key down on reboot and that doesn't work. I hope this gives you a little more insight as to what is going on. Thanks Bill

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Fusion Drive is created by software on OS X. On a computer with Fusion Drive, Windows is installed on the HDD, but when you install the Boot Camp drivers, you will be able to read Macintosh HD, so it looks like it supports Fusion Drive but only for read

  • 10.4.11 failed to install on my Intel Imac, now I can't boot

    Just as 10.4.11 was finishing installation on my Intel Imac, it came up with a message that said installation did not complete. I attempted to restart in order to try the installation again, and now I can't get past the opening grey screen. I get chimes, and the progress icon is rotating, but booting does not continue to the OSX screen. It just sits there on the grey screen. I think my system was somehow corrupted.
    Any thoughts on what I should do next to get my system back up?

    Dear All,
    Had the same problems with 10.4.11 update on my MBP 17"
    Did all resets and safe boots. No effect.
    Don't have original disks (at the office miles away)
    Booted from old 10.4.4 that come with iMac disk.
    Told it would not install "on this computer".
    Didn't click restart instead clicked to Utilities and used Disk Utility to repair disk and permissions.
    Still only getting to grey screen and spinning cog.
    Used iMac to download update 10.4.11
    Booted MBP as a target drive (holding down T on startup)
    Used installer in iMac to install update to MacBookPro.
    Reboot MBP. Little longer start up but all fine.
    Not gonna update iMac!

    After resetting a password, you may need to repair your keychain:
    Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
    If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
    First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
      1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
      3. Click the "First Aid" tab
      4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
      5. Close the Preferences window
      6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
      7. Enter your username and password
      8. Click the "Repair" button
    The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
      1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
      3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
      4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
      5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
      6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
          "New Keychain"
      7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
          going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
    Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
    First, you want to enable the root user:
      1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
      4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
    Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
    Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
    Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
    Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
    The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

    I just upgraded to Lion and now I can't connect to my Dell monitor. I am using a MacAir. I have tried chaning the input. But that didn't work. Any suggestions?

    That was a widely publicized fact, it is a good idea to always check compatibility before upgrading. Your options are to go back to SL or find another app.

  • Can't get Apple Remote to work

    Please help - I received my new Apple TV yesterday and have been trying to set up but cannot get the remote to work. Whatever I press there is no response from the status light. I have tried Menu and right for 6 secs to pair -> nothing. I've tried Menu and every direction for 6 secs -> nothing. I've changed the battery, restarted the Apple TV. There is no obstruction to the IR. I can only assume the remote is faulty. Any suggestions please?

    Take it back and exchange it.
    If the remote doesn't work out of the box new then either remote is faulty or AppleTV is faulty (eg IR sensor not located properly in the case).
    Either way one of them isn't working, exchange it.

  • I just installed OS X Mavericks and now I can't get iMovie or iPhoto to accept and install on my 2014 Macbook Air.

    I recently installed OS X Mavericks and when I tried to update iMovie and iPhoto, it wouldn't let me becaus it said they were downloaded under a different Apple ID, so I tried to uninstall and reinstall them from scratch, and now it won't even let me accept them.  I keep punching in my Apple ID to accept them and it doesn't appear to be doing anything.  What do I do?

    Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Follow the directions in this support article.
    Step 2
    Associate your Apple ID with your user account. Then sign in to the App Store with the same ID.
    Step 3
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder may open with a file named "adoption.plist" selected. If it does, move the file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Log out, log back in, and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 4
    Contact Mac App Store Customer Service.

  • HT5957 I just updated my iphone 4 to the iOS7.0.2 and now I can't get the phone to work its frozen on a screen that shows a blue music button and Itunes below it then below that an arrow pointing upward and below that a pic of my cable charger. Any help?

    I just updated my iphone 4 to the new iOS 7.0.2 and now it's stuck in a screen that has a blue music button and below that itunes and below that and arrow pointing up and below that a pic of a charging cable. Help?

    If you are implying that you've never synced and backed up the device, well that is simply not smart.
    User's can backup their iOS devices at any time by connecting to iTunes and selecting the backup option from the Summary tab or by backing up to iCloud.
    Most people will regularly backup their devices and transfer iTunes purchases to iTunes on the computer for safekeeping.
    Basically, you are stating that the device has not been used as designed and now data has been lost.  Sorry, that's just too bad.  But at least now you know how to prevent this in the future.
