Boot Camp - XP works, but can't log back into OSX, any one else get this?

So I went through setting up XP on my 2.0 ghz Macbook and everything went smoothly. I have been running various programs in xp, and all the drivers for wireless, brightness control, etc work great. The problem i have is that now i cann't get the computer to start up in OSX. On startup it wants to load XP, so i hold down alt/option until i see the screen with the two harddrive images (one is the Macintosh HD, the other is Windows XP). I select the Mac and it goes to the apple startup screen, then after like 10 min it changes to a blue background and finally i get a cursor, but then after waiting for nearly half an hour, there is no progress. anyone else getting this? any ideas? i'm typing this message from Windows, which still works fine.

Ahh, the dangers of Windows :P j/j
Check the Boot Camp forums, I think there are others having this problem. You might try your OS X recovery disc that came with the computer.
I'd suggest all those with Boot Camp stuff post in that forum, probably get lots more responses!

  • My itunes wont open it tells me that my itunes library was updated by a newer version on itunes but my software is uptodate any one else have this prob?

    my itunes wont open it tells me that my itunes library was updated by a newer version on itunes but my software is uptodate any one else have this prob?

    Look under your Start Menu for Apple Software Update, but before doing that, check the time and date on your computer that it's correct.
    It's also saying the iTunes Library .XML file in your iTunes Folder file is new, for some reason, but your songs should be still in the iTunes Folder.
    You can move the XML file out and restart iTunes and it shoudl creat another, you lose your playlists and have to import all your music again.

  • For some strange reason the songs in my library are multiplying. For example, I really only have 4,000 songs but every time I open itunes I have 6,8,10,000 songs! Any one else have this problem.  How do I stop that from happening?

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • I have an iphone 4. Recently I have issues with certain apps closing immediately once they are open. ie Email. Tried re-booting entire thing and still having issues. Any one else having this issue or a fix for it?

    Delete background Apps from memory and then Reset.
    To Delete background Apps, double click Home button, in the bar at bottom, hold down on an App Icon until the minus sign appears, tap all the minus signs, until all background Apps are cleared from memory. Then Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself, ignor the 'slide to power off' let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

  • I have upgrade my iMac to the new OS X Maverick but now my computer is extremely slow and takes longer to open up everything. Has any one else had this issue?

    Ihave just upgrade my imac to the new os x maverick and now its very slow to open everything.
    Have any one else had these issues

    MacKeeper is utter garbage!!!!
    Before even attempting an OS X upgrade, completely remove this serious "crapware" from your system!!!!!
    If you do not believe me, do a search in these support forums for MacKeeper and you can see for yourself!
    Get rid of it!
    See if your system speeds up after completely ridding your system of everything connected to MacKeeper.
    Please, start a new thread and do not hijack a thread of another user posting!
    Why are you so concerned about "cleaning out" your Mac?
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    How much RAM is installed in your Mac?
    Download and install and run Etrecheck.
    Copy and paste its information iinto a new posting so that we can see all the necessary details of your Mac system so we may begin to address your Mac issues.

    Hi Jacob-Moeller,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Apple TV can use either an Ethernet or a Wi-Fi connection. When Ethernet is connected, Apple TV automatically defaults to using that connection.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:

  • Just bought an iPhone 5C.. Safari is non-functional! A blank frozen screen! Any one else experience this? Horrid design Apple! It's your freaking web browser! Google Chrome works but not Safari! I may simply return this "upgrade" unless someone can help

    Just bought an iPhone 5C.. Safari is non-functional! A blank frozen screen... What gives? Safari is Apple's browser for gods sakes! Google Chrom works but not Safari? This is nuts. This is an "upgrade"?? Anyone else experiencing this? Or should I just give up and return this

    Are you always like this?
    First try a Reset: Hold down the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.

  • Can't log back into user

    I have an iMac 20" 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo. I was upgraded to Leopard a year ago. It has four user logins.
    The problem I'm having is with logging into one particular user. I have no issue booting up the computer and logging into this one user account (User A) - everything is fine. But, if I switch to another user (User B) and login (again no problems), then let the computer go into screen saverand the home login screen, I can't login as User A. I get a black screen and a mouse color-wheel - just stays that way. If I hit the power button, I can get back to the login screen, but still can't login to User A - same issue. If I login to any other user, no problem. I have to force a shutdown to be able to login to User A, then it logs in normally.
    Of the four users, this never happens. It is only logging in as this one user where the problem occurs. If the user logs out, no problem. But if the user leaves the computer, the screensaver kicks in, another user logs in, then I can never get back into this one account.
    Nothing is running in this one users login that is different than other users. I have tried disabling Time Machine and other applications and can't narrow down a solution. I don't see anything unusual in the logs.
    I've tried searching the discussions and troubleshooting section and can't find this same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    Make sure that you haven't saved Uppercase and Lowercase versions of that name and password.

  • When waking from sleep can't log back into Airport (TC)

    Hi all,
    I've been noticing one morning I kept on having to re-join my airport network afer waking my MBPro from sleep. Usually it finds it automatically, but as of late, I manually have to get back in.
    Anything happened? Anything I should be doing or didn't do? Besides, it's that time of the month again and I'm currently calibrating my battery, so I'm not connected to juice. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!
    /s0l

    Instead of setting a password for waking from sleep, just enable fast user switching (System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Options). Then, from the new menu on the right side of the bar (next to the Spotlight menu), choose Login Window before putting your machine to sleep. Yes, I know that this requires that you remember instead of kicking in automatically, but it's better than suffering from this problem.

  • I can't view photos in the cloud from my iPhoto. Any one else have this problem?

    I cant view photos from iphoto in the cloud.
    I have turned on icoud in iphoto but nothing appears in the cloud.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    David Winters

    Do you mean at icloud.com you can't see your photos?  If so then that's normal.  They are only viewable on Macs running iPhoto 9 or later and on mobile devices running iOS 7.
    So where are you not seeing the photos and what system and iPhoto versions are you using?
    OT

  • Can't download purchased album from Itunes Store is any one else having this problem?

    Can't seem to download a purchased album from the itunes store is anyone else having the same problem? It has deductedt the amount from my account however!

    I ordered mine the very same day the iPT was available in Sweden. As we are a non-iPhone country I looked with envy on my friend's jailbroken phones and especially the Mail and Calendar applications. The iPod was cool, but... - just anothr iPod with smaller memory than my old one.
    After the release of the Jan software I felt ripped-off for a couple of minutes and then bought the upgrade. Since then I have been soooo happy. The software architecture in the iPT/iPhone that allows Apple to 1) add great apps later on and 2) generate a SDK for 3rd parties is amazing.
    Comparison: my old Nokia N70 phone cost about $250 more than the iPT (not including the 12 month lock-up to the provider) and has so far been in for upgrades (at Nokia and later on downloads via Internet) five times. In no upgrade was any additional functionality added, just bugs corrected and bugs added.
    However, the path Apple is taking on this is very narrow. If they are to charge $20 to get SDK functionality to the iPT I will probably eBay the iPT and go for a jailbroken iPhone. I accept the $20 on occasions - it should not be a subscription fee. The approach of distributing 1.1.3 without the apps is a stroke of genius IMHO, but please - don't push it too far...
    Best wishes,
    /msa

  • My apple password was reset but not by me. any one else have this problem?

    My apple password was reset, but not by me, also an email showed up but when i went to click into it, it wasn't there anymore and was not even in my inbox.

    If you have never shared your password with anyone then your account was hacked. NOT your iPhone, your Apple ID. If you use the same password for other accounts any of them could have been hacked, and your password obtained from that other account. If your password was simple it could have been hacked by brute force. If it is a word found in any dictionary especially. Or if there is anything personally identifiable about it (nickname, pets name, address, name of someone you know).
    The really important thing is to get it resolved QUICKLY with Apple Security, and to change all passwords that might have been stored in an iCloud backup of your phone.
