BootCamp boot option doesn't show Windows, only Mac.

I have successfully installed Windows XP on my Mac with BootCamp, and I been having this issue where when I press the option key down on restart it brings up the screen where I can then select a operating system, problem is Windows is not shown at all, only Mac. I called support twice, the first time we tried some troubleshooting things to see if that would work, and it didn't. He suggested I re-install windows, so I did that, and that did not work either. So the second time I called they said they will make a case about it and consult the engineers or who ever, and they would get back to me. I was never contacted back about this issue. So I decided now to see if anyone here can help out.
p.s. I can get into Windows, but its a hassle, I would go into system preferences and change the setting to boot into Windows as default, and if I wanted to go into Mac....well, I would restart and press the option key, and Mac would be listed, but no Windows.

did you try "rEFIt"? it's a bootloader that can help you enormously.... also, try to burn a liveCD of GParted, it's a linux partitoning tool and you can inspect your partition info after booting with the liveCD - don't be afraid, it won't do anything to your hard drive. -- the xp partition flag should be set to off in order for it to be recognized by boot camp. but in any case, install rEFIt first!!! it works together will boot camp, it's a must-have for all macbook users. install that app to your OS X, not xp.

Anyone?... Set View Options Default to 'This window only'

I came across this discussion (below) that I could not find a solution for. Why does the View Options window always default to 'All Windows'? Usually when you are changing a window setting, you are doing it for that window. Obviously you should not have to change the All Windows settings that often right?
There has got to be some plist settings (which I could not find) that will automatically set the View Options to 'This Window Only' rather than 'All Windows'.

Subject: Change Show View Options Default to 'This window only' ??
Message: I find it very annoying that the finder's default in show view options goes to 'All Windows' rather than 'This Window Only' -- i end up constantly chaning the appearance of folders, much to my chagrin. Is there any way to have the default be on 'This window only" ??
Thanks!

Yes, I too find the default maddening and know of no way to change it. AFAIK the behavior is hard coded into the Finder. I would be delighted if that were not the case... You can always send Feedback on the issue:

Of course, considering the number of Finder problems I doubt anything much will come of it, but you never know.

RMBP can Airplay content from iTunes but mirroring option doesn't show up

I have the Late 2013 rMBP running 10.10.1. I also have the latest Apple TV which is working fine with my iOS devices.
The Airplay option shows up in iTunes and works fine in there but the mirroring option doesn't show up in the Menu Bar. I have checked the "show mirroring options in menu bar when available".
I haven't got another Mac to test the Apple TV yet.
I'm not sure what else to do.
Thanks

Tagged Option Doesn't Show

I normally sync with iTunes manually. When I tag songs on the radio and then I connect my iPod Nano to iTunes, the “Tagged” option doesn’t show under Store. What’s going on?
FYI:
I'm currently using iTunes 11
My iPod Nano is 6th generation
My operating system is Windows Vista

Give it a pdf and those options should appear. Just drop one into the itunes library and then sync the ipad.

MSI GT 70 ONC: Stereoscopic 3D option doesn't show up in the NVidiaControl panel

Hi,
I have MSI GT 70 ONC Laptop with NVidia 670M (2GB) graphics card. I also have Sony Bravia 3D TV.
I can play 3d movies on laptop and can watch them on my 3d TV using HDMI cable fine although my laptop doesn't have 3d display.
I am trying to use my laptop which doesn't have 3D display but has Graphics card which supports 3D to play 3d games and see them on my 3D TV.
I checked online and found out that I need to change "Stereoscopic 3D" settings in NVidia control panel but Stereoscopic 3D option doesn't show up in the control panel. Very few options are there. I have updated drivers to the latest level but still can't see "Stereoscopic 3D" option in NVidia control panel. So will you be able to help me out what I can do to see the option? Thanks in advance.

I have got an gs70. Exactly the same problem. Unfortunately this hdmi outputs are connected for the intel graphics cards. And intel does not support 3d.
I was actually very angry with MSI. Because they do not mention in the description. They promot just the gtx card. And forgot to mention about the hdmi connection.
Forget the 3d tv. Or you can buy an external mini pci-e graphics card adaptor.

Hey dunglv,
It sounds like have tried resetting your password but do not have the security question option and do not have a rescue email account setup. Use the following article to contact Apple for assistance with your account:

Subject: Tabs - Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar. For what ever reason, this option doesn't show up for me to select. Why, or was this feature moved or removed?

I'm running FireFox 10 and I have Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC. I would like to have the ability to select an open tab from the Windows taskbar. For what ever reason, this option is not showing in the Tools - Options - Tabs window. So, I can't select it. Why? Has this feature been moved or removed?

The "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" does not appear as an option. in Options - Tabs.
I Toggled the browser.taskbar.previews to True in About:Config, but it made no difference.
So, no go on either solution.
I am running Windows Ultimate 64bit. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Login Window Doesn't Show Windows Domain Straight Away...

Hi Folks,
I have a workgroup of Power Mac G5’s running OS X 10.4.4. The user accounts are stored in a Microsoft Windows Active Directory Server (ADS), however there is a local Administrator account on the workstation.
When the computer is restarted it boots up to the login window but for some reason the G5 doesn’t see the Windows ADS domain straight away so it doesn’t list the “Other…” account. If I login as the local Administrator and then log out the “Other…” account then shows. It also shows if I unplug the network cable and then re-plug it in. Once I am logged in as a user the connection is nice and quick with no physical problems.
Is this a bug?
I was wondering if there is a way to fix this, for example, can I make the boot process wait until Samba has fully started, or can I add a 5 second pause in somewhere, or can I tell the login window to refresh every 5 seconds?
Thanks,
Andrew McCall
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi again,
Thanks for your reply.
I have done the unbind and performed the bind operation again, but its still happening. I have now put a second system in and its doing it on that one too.
I was wonding if there is some way of making sure that Samba is fully started before the login window appears.
Thanks,
Andrew McCall

Running elements organizer 12 on mavericks can't import iphoto files since the option doesn't show up

Running Mavericks 10.9.3 with iphoto 9 loaded Elements 12 and went to import iphoto files - but the import option doesn't some "from iphoto" and the file/getphotos and videos/from iphoto doesn't show - what is the issue

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying, but you probably don't want to use "from iphoto" anyway. That's only for when you want to import your entire iphoto library (like when you decide you want to use organizer instead).
The first question is what are you trying to do? Do you just want to open photos from iphoto into the PSE editor or do you want to import them into the organizer for something?

HP Printer scan option doesn't show up on my MacbookPro

I have an HP printer and I can't use the scan option because it doesn't show up on my computer. ANd when I try it from the printer it gives me an error window.

On its web site for Lion compatible Scanner drivers, HP offers the following workaround since they have not yet produced HP based Scan driver software for your older model (I have the same problem):
People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
Click Print & Scan ( ).
Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen
Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan .
Hope this helps

Macintosh HD boot drive doesn't show up as Startup Disk (but boots fine)?!?

Hi,
My main internal bootable disk (Macintosh HD) does not show up in Systems Preferences > Startup Disk. If I want to boot from it, I have to either hold down the "Option" key at startup (and the disk appears fine, so I select it), or I have to wait for the machine to explore all other boot options before it finally resorts to booting from the internal Macintosh HD.
I cannot simply select "Macintosh HD" from the Startup Disk preference pane.
I have already tried repairing permissions, and I did a "Verify" in Disk Utility - everything checks out fine.
I even replaced the StartupDisk.prefpane file from another disk, but no improvement.
How can I get my hard drive to show up in the "Startup Disk" preferences?
(I should mention that this is a new hard drive that I just installed by cloning it from another bootable drive). The other bootable drive shows up fine in the Startup Disk prefs.
Help would be greatly appreciated!

The Partition Map Scheme is currently set to "Master Boot Record."
What does this mean?
That's normally used for Windows.
Do I need to change it to GUID?
Yes.
How do I do that?
You have to re-partition the drive, which means it will erase everything on the drive.
Boot from the Leopard install DVD (hold "C" while booting), choose you language, then select Disk Utility from the "Utilities" menu. Select the drive (at the left, not the volume indented below it), and click the "Partition" tab. Set "Volume Scheme" to "1 Partition", then click the "Options" button. Select "GUID Partition Table", then click "OK". Enter a volume name, set "Format" to "Mac OS Extended (Journaled" and click "Apply".

Satellite P305, boot options menu not show for usb flashdrive

P305S8822 Boot Option Menu did not show item for starting with USB flash drive. THere was an option for a usb external hard drive but that device was not connected while starting the computer. The usb FLASH DRIVE was connected. Does Satellit Laptop P305-S8822 have or supposed to have a boot option choice available for usb flash drive?

I don't believe computers of that vintage could boot from a USB connection. (But you have FireWire and modem ports.)

Has Ffx 8 restored the option to use new windows only instead of any Tabs whatsoever; don't like them - don't want them?

Has Firefox 8 restored the option to choose new windows instead of Tabs? I mean that I should be able to remove all references to Tabs from ALL menus so that I don't accidentally open one of those "things".

Many people love Tabs. They should have them. Many of us don't. We should be able to get rid of them. I thought Firefox was about customization. You know, Burger King and all that. ;)

It won't show on the other devices or website if enabled as POP.
If you have it set as IMAP, open Mail account preferences and check to store messages on server in Mailbox Behaviors.
