Boot file not changed after XP was removed!!

I installed XP on my macbook pro but when i removed the XP partition, the boot file was not changed. Every time i restart the computer it boots into the windows partition and tells me that no drive was found. In order to boot in OS X i have to hold the option key and choose the OS X drive which is the only one that appears on the screen... Any one know how to fix this problem?

You might want to reread the setup guide; you can use Startup Disk preference pane to establish a default boot disk.

Enabling FileVault 2: "Boot file not written"

I receive the mentioned error promptly after entering my passphrase. The terminal output is:
Started CoreStorage operation on disk0s2 Mac HD
Resizing disk to fit Core Storage headers
Creating Core Storage Logical Volume Group
A problem occurred; undoing all changes
Reclaiming space formerly used by Core Storage metadata
Error: -69853: Boot file not written
With the sparse information floating around the web, this problem seems to stem from the fact that I just installed a new Harddrive and cloned my old one with Carbon Copy Cloner.
Are there any ideas on how to get my Harddrive FileVault ready?

Here's what diskutil list gives me:

P67A-GD65 : Boot sequence keeps changing after installing SSD

Hi,
Before I had the SSD, all was fine and running on IDE. After installing SSD and changing mode to AHCI, the boot sequence keeps changing after reboot. I did not reset the CMOS after installing the SSD. I had disabled all boot except for the SSD (which is connected to SATA Port 1). And I did save by pressing F10 after changing the sequence in BIOS.
Appreciate your advise.
Thank you.

I have the same problem. The board decides to try and boot from some other device, even though the SSD is detected. Very annoying.
I'm using the sata cable that came with the board; e.g. brand new.

Can't turn on filevault. Error: "Boot File Not Written"

I can't turn on filevault in lion 10.7. The error returned is simply: "boot file not written". There is no other diagnostic info - help!

Open the Console application in your Utilities folder to examine log files.
How large is your user account folder and how much free space is on the drive? Have you repaired the hard drive and permissions?
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Hi,
release indicators change it to 4.It may works. Please explore to all 6 indicators..........
i.e,
1-cannot be changed
2-changable,no new determination of strategy
3-changable,new release in case of strategy
4-changable,new release in case of strategy or value change
5-changable,new release if new strategy/outputted

I have recently purchased a 1DMKIII and am constantly getting "file not recognized" after I import and even after migrating RAW files. My 1DS MK1 RAW files have no issues. The RAW files render just fine using CS4 bridge. Any ideas here on a fix? Other than ditching Aperture (not desireable)
Thanks,

[SOLVED] GRUB 2 - "error: file not found" after Clonezilla Restore

Hello,
I backed up my Arch Install which is one root partition covering the entire SDD with Clonezilla, to play around with Gentoo and FreeBSD on my Laptop.
Now I restored the image and when GRUB 2 loads I see "error: file not found" three times for a short momemt before I'm in the GRUB 2 menu.
When I boot my I also see these 3 messages (probably the once from the early loading process) and "Loading Linux ck kernel...." "Loading initrafms...." "Press any key to continue..." When I wait for a short time or press enter it boots like expected (fsck message appears for a short time since I'm using quite boot and I'm in KDM after that).
Grub loading...
error: file not found
error: file not found
error: file not found
Loading Linux ck kernel...
Loading initramfs...
Press any key to continue...
I did not have this when I backed it up. It booted into the menu and when I booted the menu entry it would go black to show me the fsck message and seconds later I was in KDM.
I tried $ sudo grub-mkconfig but it did not change anything.
This is my current /boot/grub/grub.cfg

CS5 indd files occasionally change after saving and reopening

Occasionally the contents of my InDesign document will change after saving and re-opening. No errors reported during the save however when the file is opened a text box may be out of place or leading may be messed-up on a few random pages or some of the recent changes may not have been saved. Any ideas?

There was no direct indication that you created the code in a standard module. I asked because you reported that the code works in the sample workbook that you downloaded but not in your own workbook.
I don't know what else to suggest at the moment.
Could you create a stripped-down copy of the workbook (without sensitive information) and make it available through one of the websites that let you upload and share a file, such as Windows Live SkyDrive (https://skydrive.live.com),
FileDropper (http://filedropper.com) or DropBox (http://www.dropbox.com). Then post a link to the uploaded and shared file here.
Or register at www.eileenslounge.com (it's free) and post a message in the Excel forum. You can attach files up to 250 KB to a post there (zipped if necessary).

File not found after restart

Hello,
We have a web application that reads in a .ini file. This works great. But, when we have to restart tomcat (for example after the database has been restarted) sometimes tomcat throws a file not found exception for that file. The only way to get rid of that exception is removing the deployed diurectory of the web application and start tomcat again so it deploys the the application again. The .ini file doesn't leave its place and is always there.
Kind regards,
Martijn

SWF File not working after upload to server, but works on local system

HELP PLEASE.....I have created a Fla and exported a swf file
from Flash 8 and Export (Flash 6). I can preview the page in
Dreamweaver just fine, but when i upload it and the html file, it
isn't showing up. It leaves a blank spot on the page. It is just a
simple banner with graphic clips and motion tween text, with image
bgd. All images are jpg.
I have tried:
1. Using a full link to the swf file.
2. Removed drop-shodows in swf file
3. convert to Flash mx 2004 file
4. Exported to higher Flash version to see if the flash
player was an issue.
5. Exported with no dashes in name
6. Added Scr file into Dreamweaver
7. Made a new test file to see if it was something in the
current html doc, same result.
8. Tried viewing on a pc, same result. Created on mac.
Here is the test page if anyone wants to take a look.
THANKS FOR ANY ADVISE.
Test
Page Link

The link you provided is to the SWF file, not to an HTML
file, so no one can test your HTML file.
Have you checked the code for the embedding of the SWF file
in your HTML file? I don't use Dreamweaver much, but I do know that
if you start assembling a Dreamweaver file without first saving the
HTML, embedded graphics and other items are inserted as direct
links to the files on your computer, rather than as relative paths.
There is one other possible issue: I note that your swf is
called CWABanner.swf. Depending on your FTP settings, it is
possible that your server is forcing all file names to lower case
(a common practice). Which means the file on your server will be
cwabanner.swf. Again, depending on how the web server is set up, if
it is case sensitive, it will treat CWABanner and cwabanner as
separate files. So if the HTML calls CWABanner.swf, but the FTP
upload has forced a rename to lower case to cwabanner.swf, the HTML
file will not find it. Check this out, or to be absolutely certain,
rename everything to lower case: the file name itself and the
reference in the HTML file.

Resolution does not change after saving.

A previous answer does not help me. I save a file after changing size (inches) and resolution from default of 240ppi to 300ppi, when I reopen the file reverts to the original size. I use a Mac 10.6.8 Photoshop CS5 extended 12.0.4 x64.

If all you change is the document DPI resolution setting all the changes is print resolution and print size. The document size remains un-changed you sill have the same pixels you have before the resize. Only when you resample(interpolate) the number of pixels you have for the images does the the file size change. In fact you have a completely new image not a single old pixel exist all pixels have been interpolated to increase or decrease the number of pixels the image has.

Word file ownership changes after edit/save.

This may be a server issue more than Office, but I've come across some articles relating to this problem in Samba, and thought it might be similar.
I'm the Network Admin for a school district. We have a file server that is setup with a file and folder structure that allows students and teachers to access and share documents. One teacher came to me with a problem. Students are able
to create and save Word documents to an assignment folder. The teacher then goes into the document, makes changes and enters notes, then saves the document back to the folder, overwriting the original. The problem is that once she has done so,
the student can no longer access the document.
After investigation and testing, I've found that ownership of the file is changing from the student to the teacher. This is a problem based on the way that the ACL is set on the folder. The students' access is based in the creator/owner attribute.
The fact that the ownership is changing once the teacher opens and edits the document is causing the student to no longer have access to the file.
My question is, is there a setting or other change that can be made to Office so that ownership is not transferred to the teacher? Giving each user explicit rights to each file and/or folder isn't really an option when I have 3000 students to
deal with. Again, this may be a server side issue, but I've not seen this problem with other programs.

I'm picking this up because I have the exact same problem.
Students are given Write access to a folder (So they can save their work)
Teachers are given Modify acccess to a folder (so they can add comments, etc)
CREATOR/OWNER is given Read/Execute so students could read teacher comments, but not make changes to the document once it has been saved.
When I test it with my admin account, it works great. I can update the document and the student can open it to see my comments, but not change the document anymore without saving to a different location.
When I test it with a teacher account, the document changes ownership as soon as the teacher saves. Once the ownership changes, the student no longer has permissions through CREATOR/OWNER and they can't open the document to see the comments anymore.
I can't see why this works when my account makes the changes, but not when a teacher account does. We are doing the exact same things in Word.
Here is an example of the permsions as they exist on a sample document. In the example, my admin account (which works fine) gets it's permissions through BUILTIN\Administrators:
PS H:\> $acl = get-acl "L:\TeacherShare\S2 3(A) Study Hall - Half Year\Submissions\StudentWork.docx
PS H:\> $acl.access
