Boot Camp Won't Load after adding Mavericks

How things started
13" MacBook Air mid-2011
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b) with 256gb SSD
HDD partition between OS/X and a BOOTCAMP partition running Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate
I updated both OSes with the latest drivers.
In Lion, I did (disabled now) have v.9.5.2 of Paragon's NTFS driver installed (which I forgot about before I started down the path I'm on).
What I did:
After doing a time machine backup of Lion, I downloaded Mavericks. However, Disk Utility was reporting very little free space on OS/X. I ended up having to run Repair from the Recovery Partition. Once I did that OS/X and Windows were both booting fine and I had > 180 GB of free space on my OS/X partition.
I created a 48 GB partition as follows:
I then installed Mavericks and got XCode, etc. installed. Today upon restarting I can't boot into Windows on Boot Camp.
First it didn't show up on the Start Up selector when holding down the Option key. I then started looking. I set Boot Camp as start up in the Paragon applet and this allowed it to boot into Boot Camp but then I get the ...
No bootable device --- insert boot disk and press any key
... error.
So I found the magic thread with Christopher Murphy's advice so I'm looking for help.
Here's the results of running the commands he has asked other to do:

Just repost, this thread will linger and vanish eventually. I guess you are seeking the help of Chris Murphy for the Boot Camp issue, and for him to help he will need to be informed as to which OS you use. Do that discreetly, and accept that he may not be able to help as he may have no knowledge of the upcoming version.

Boot Camp won't start after OSX Yosemite upgrade

Like so many others, I installed OSX Yosemite this morning and now Boot Camp no longer works.
After I updated to Yosemite I restarted my computer, held down alt, and was presented nothing but a Macintosh HD. I followed “Loner T’s” instructions…
ndiskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
Enter you password when prompted.
…and now a windows option is available during startup. However, when selected, all I get is a black screen with "A disk read error occurred" notice.
I’m in serious trouble if I cannot repair this issue. PLEASE HELP.

HELP Boot Camp won't start after firmware update

Hi Guys,
I just bought a XP CD and installed 10.4.6 and the latest firmware update for my XP installation. So I downloaded Boot Camp, and when I go to the assistant in utilities a window pops up and it says "You must update your computers firmware to use this assistant"
So when I check MacBook Pro SMC Firmware update also in utilities it confirms I have the latest firmware 1.0.
I have repaired permissions and still nada...
Can anyone determine what is wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Pete

i think the SMC update != overall system firmware. did you update ur machine to firmware version 1.01? heres a link http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookproearly2006firmwareupdate101.html

[SOLVED] GNOME 3 won't load after adding networkmanager

Hello!
Just did a fresh install on a HP42-475DX system, did a -Syy/-Syu, installed xorg, xf86-video-ati, telepathy, and gnome. Everything installed fine and I was able to log into Gnome with no issues.
While trying to get wireless working in Gnome (and have an applet appear in the corner), I installed network-manager-applet, removed network from daemons and replaced it with networkmanager, and then rebooted. My boot sequence goes all the way through loading gdm and then the screen goes black. It's still backlit, there's just nothing displaying. ctrl+alt+f1 does not yield a terminal for me to log in with.
Is there something I'm missing and/or screwed up?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Czar.
Edit: Booting into live environment and removing networkmanager from the daemon array allows me to log into Gnome.

Caligo, thanks for the reply! I don't specifically have network being blocked right now. Should it be? Right now, my DAEMONS array looks like this:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus ifplugd netfs crond gdm)
wonder wrote:paste ~/.xsession-errors
wonder, I could not locate that file. When I do a ls -a to print my hidden files, the only one I have is .bash_history.
Thank you both for your help. Have a good one!
Czar.
Edit: Caligo, you nailed it! I added !network to the DAEMONS array and it came up perfect.

Windows 7 boot camp screen goes black after windows startup screen!!!!!!

A few days ago when I tried to start my MacBook Pro in windows 7 (enterprise) I encountered a completly black screen after the startup screen.
1) Choose start in Windows 7 from boot camp menu (holding option after starting up computer)
2) Windows start up screen would appear and finish
3) For a very brief second my cursor pointer would appear and login screen would flash onto the screen, then the screen would go black
BUT
I CAN boot windows 7 in safe mode
The computer is still on when screen goes black (fan still running and i can use keyboard commands to shut down the computer)
I've been searching the Internet for DAYS to no avail
PLEASE someone help me....... ive already tried the sfc /scannow and dskchk commands in the command prompt window

Win 7 Enterprise is not supported by Boot Camp, you may or may not get it to work reliably, (I would not bother to try)
Read this document then pick a supported version of Windows for your Mac.

Are we supposed to guess what the error message is?

My apps won't load after updating to iOS4.3.2. What to do?

My apps won't load after updating to iOS4.3.2. What to do?

Yes, I tried that (thanks for the suggestion, though!). In my music app, when I click on certain songs, the screen moves to try to start the song, but then it bounces back to the menu screen without playing the song. On many albums, when I click on the first song, a song about halfway through the album will start to play rather than that first song. My other apps seems to be fixed, but not the music function.

AE CS6 won't run after the Mavericks 10.9.3 update

My AE CS6 won't run after the Mavericks 10.9.3 update the other day. I was prompted that the current version of my AE was 11.0, so I searched and found the seemingly most up-to-date here: Adobe - After Effects : For Macintosh : Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0.4 Update : Thank You
My question is this: since I'm new to Mac, should I download the update and install it to my existing instance of AE and it will allow AE CS6 to run as normal? And the way to install the update is simply to double-click the .dmg?
Thanks!

Instructions for installing the update are on the download page here:

Lightroom 5 won't load after 30 day trial of Lightroom3 error.

I tried the 30 day trial of Lightroom 3 that I got with the Photoshop Elements 10 when I got my new computer. The Lightroom loaded one picture and said I had an error and would try to find a solution. I bought Lightroom5 and tried to install it and it keeps going back to the error of Lightroom 3 trial. I tried to delete all programs associated with Lightroom and reinstall, but nothing happens.

it just reads "Lightroom-Opening Catalog:New Years Day 2014 031.JPG.Ircat assertion failed!
New Years day 2014 is a folder and 031 is the picture in the folder that I tried to enhance in the 30 day free trial of Lightroom 3. I bought Lightroom 5 from B &H and it appears to be hung up on the Lightroom 3 trial.

MacBook Air won't restart after installing Mavericks

My MacBook Air (v Fall 2011) won't restart after installing Mavericks. I have done the instal several times, done the disk repair, I have had 2 visits to the local Apple store where they installed Mavericks with their software only to return home and have it fail again. Does anyone know of issues with the SSD or memory?
Next visit to the Apple store is Tuesday morning 12-17-13. Anywthing that can help us would be appreciated. Tks David

Ok. Nevermind. I guess I had to Force Quit/Relaunch Finder.

Boot Camp won't partition, files cannot be moved.

I'm sure this has come up more times than anyone can count. I've searched for answers but still haven't found the solution. Boot Camp won't partition because some files cannot be moved.
I have defragmented my computer, it is all just one partition. I have 150+ GB of free space. I am only trying to partition 5 GB for windows, honestly that is more than i will need. The error of course tells me to back up my computer and reformat it. I have not done this yet because I believe it will be a last resort and will be unlikely to actually solve my problem. I'm sure there is at least 5 GB of continuous free space on my computer that could be partitioned. I am wondering what else i can do?
Also, if it does come down to backing my computer up, is it possible to back it up to another macbook? I don't want to waste money on an external just because Boot Camp is being picky.

First, way too many people choose too small, and I though 10GB was the smallest for XP, and often was not enough to allow updates, patches, page, hibernation and temp space, let alone games, apps etc.
The only defrag I can think of that works are iDefrag and Drive Genius 2. But a backup + erase + restore is the best. Otherwise, your free space may still be fragmented or have files that prevent you, as is happening.
5GB for Windows doesn't sound like more than needed, or even enough.
External backup drives are never a waste. Even for just Mac OS.

I am trying to remove my windows partition and boot camp won't let me. It gives me a message +" The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."+ Please help!!!!!

Use the Disk Utility to delete it and resize the partition immediately above of it so it takes up the released space.

Boot Camp Won't Let Me Partition

I have been trying to set up a Windows XP partition on my Macbook just to play some games, but Boot Camp won't let me partition my hard drive, saying that some files are unmovable and that I should reformat my entire hard drive. Any ideas how to get around this without losing all of my work?

None that I know of. If you have access to an external hard drive, go ahead with the backup. This way, you have a fallback no matter what happens.
In theory, when a backup is restored, files are laid down in a manner that minimizes fragmentation; so if successful in backing up, reinitializing and restoring the hard disk, you should be able to create the Boot Camp volume.
You could also experiment with creating a smaller Boot Camp volume. What the Assistant is looking for is an unbroken string of free space blocks--something between 5 GB and whatever your chosen partition size might be. Strange as it might sound, depending on your habits as a user, you might not have that unbroken string even when you have something like 100 GB free.
Hopefully, I've pointed you in a good direction here, though you may disagree with the solutions offered. They are simply the only known methods for dealing with this issue.
