BootCamp no longer shows up in Startup after Partition Changes
I recently tried to make a new Partition on my Hard Drive, a exFAT one so both my Windows and my Mac could use it - however that has since caused my BootCamp to disappear from the startup disk selection page.
So I tried to reverse this by deleting the new Partition and now in Disk Utility I can't drag it back completely - there's always a gigabyte (or a bit less) that just won't come back, and because of that (possibly) I can't access BootCamp still.
Any help would be appreciated!
look in the boot camp forums, there's a huge post about 80 pages long about people who make partition changes, see if someone there will help you
if not, the only other solution is you have to reinstall Windows, OSX or both to properly reclaim all space
officially, you cannot have more than 2 partitions when you boot camp, so having a joint place to store files will not work

IPhone emailed pictures no longer showing up as attachments after update to IOS 6.1.3
When emailing photos, they no longer show up in my Outlook email as attachments after I updated my iPhone4S to IOS6.1.3. They did just prior to this update. Anyone know why?
You should be able to right click and save the or copy the image. But, there may be a configuration in Outlook that is determining how the attachement is encoded or handled preventing this. (could also be on teh Exchange server).
For what it is worth, I test from my iPhone to my work account (Outlook client via Exchange server) and did have an issue.
Do you use a signature on your iPhone? If not, set one and try that. I know it sounds odd, but give it a go. -
AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes after Snow Leopard security update?
I just installed the latest security update for Snow Leopard and now my AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes. I don't know for sure if the security update is actually the cause, but I was able to connect not even an hour earlier in the evening.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour? I've power cycled the ATV, along with my router with no change.Could be the same problem others are having with latest version of iTunes. See this thread:

My Iphone 4s no longer shows the symbol Airplay after the download of IOS7
Dear sir:
My Iphone 4S was working properly with the operating system IOS 6.1.4. Then I have loaded the IOS 7 and so far it no longer shows the AirPlay Symbol.
I have loaded at my Iphone 4S the software 1.3.2. with no help. My Airport Express box has a software version 7.6.4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
LuiziOS 7 moved the AirPlay icon to Control Center.
To show Control Center, make sure your Home screen is displayed (press the Home button once), then swipe up from the bottom.

Serial No. no longer shows in system profiler after new logic board..!
My Macbook had to go in to my Apple Service centre to get the random shutdown fault fixed. They fitted a new logic board and last night I noticed that the System Profiler no longer show the computers serial number. Instead it says "systemserialnumb" where before it listed the Macbooks serial number. Does anybody know whether this will affect my 3 year Applecare warranty as normally they check your machines warranty status by confirming the serial number? I have all the documents but would not normally carry them all if away from home.
I love this board..ask a question and someone always knows the answer..! Mort..thanks, at least now I know it has happened to other people and also that the serial number is also to be found under the battery which for repair and service purposes is good. I am a little surprised that the engineers don't routinely reset it at the time of repair though as it is one of the pretty relevant bits of information in the "about this computer" button.

Ipod touch no longer showing up in itunes after connecting to laptop.
I downloaded itunes on my new laptop that runs windows 7. Since I hadn't updated itunes on the pc, I connected the ipod to my pc (which runs windows xp). A screen pops up that basically alerts me that I have a digital camera installed. I have updated the drivers, I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows and it still shows up as a digital camera and still doesn't show up in itunes. Now, since I initially had the ipod hooked to the new laptop, I am wondering if I did something during the installation and sync on the laptop that has caused a problem on this desk top. I am completely ignorant when it comes to electronics. To summarize what I did.
1. Downloaded itunes onto laptop that runs windows 7.
2.Plugged in lpod touch to laptop and proceed to authorize both computers for itunes.
3. Made a playlist that didn't sync with ipod.
4. Went to the desk top(windows xp) and when I plugged ipod in it ask what camera location did I want to run device. That has never happened before.
5. Went to windows system folder and found the usbaapl. sys folder.
6 From the ipod camera device I opened the device manager, found the ipod under digital imaging..
7.Right clicked ipod camera and update driver,
8.Checked install from a list or specefic location.
9.Search for best driver in these locations. I then UNCHECKEd search removable media.
10.Copied and pasted the driver information in the box and clicked next.
11.Saw ipod device driver.
After all of that Ipod still shows up as camera and will not sync!!! HelpStart here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would first remove and reinstall all the Apple software by:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The drivers in windows that sees the iPod as a camera is different that the drivers that see the iPod in iTunes. -
Why are my videos no longer showing up in playlists after iOS 5 upgrade?
Hi there,
In the past, all I need to do to view my video playlist was to use the iPod app. However, after the iOS 5 update, it appears that the iPod app is gone and its closest equivalent is the music app, which does not list any of my videos that I *know* are present on the iPad. Does anyone have an idea of how to deal with video playlists after the iOS 5 update?
thanks,
--Dany.Yes, I agree, especially since the Music app on my iPod Touch has more features than the Music app on my iPad.
It's feedback time to Apple:

IPhone no longer shows up in iPhoto after iTunes update
I took some photos with my iPhone 3G today. iPhoto launched when I attached the iPhone (USB) but it no longer appears in the sidebar and so I cannot download the photos. It worked perfectly 3 days ago. The only system change is that I updated iTunes and iMovie yesterday. There is a possibility that iTunes has disrupted things. The iPhone appears in the iTunes sidebar
Michael
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

XP no longer shows up as a startup disk
After upgrading to leopard today, my XP partition no longer shows up as a startup disk.
I had/have my windows partition on it's own drive that was NOT created with bootcamp. I pulled my osx disk from the my mac pro and installed windows on the disk i had in bay 2 using 100% of the disk (ntfs). after installing the bootcamp windows drivers, i reinserted the osx disk and all has been well for the last 4 months,... until the upgrade today that is.
Now, when i go to the 'Startup Disk' preference Windows is no longer an option. the disk still shows up in Finder and I can navigate around the file system.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can get it to show up again? I'd really rather not have to reinstall if i can avoid it.
thx.I have exactly the same problem (well, maybe).
I have installed MacFUSE and ntfs-3g. I don't know if this is of any relevance, because I don't know if it was working directly before I installed them.
I have my OS X and NTFS volumes on the same physical disk. I also had to install Windows twice because I buggered it up the first time (formatted the partition as FAT32 and ran into a bunch of disk errors).
I also notice that in WinClone I have 2 Untitled Volumes at /dev/disk0s3 and /dev/disk1s1. /dev/disk0s3 seems to be the legit Windows NTFS partition, but I have no idea what /dev/disk1s1 is about. I don't know if it's been there all along or not but perhaps it is confusing matters and stopping the legit Windows volume/installation from being detected...? Should that second volume exist at all? It doesn't exist according to the Disk util.
edit: I used fdisk just to have a look at the two untitled partitions.

I can hold the option key upon startup and manually enter Windows like that, but I'd prefer to be able to restart and boot Windows without having to hold a key.
Apart from not seeing the Windows boot volume in the system prefs pane, Boot Camp (and the rest of Leopard) has been excellent. I am impressed at the level of apple hardware support for windows. It seems to be much better than most native PC hardware.
I am dying for an answer. It's a fairly minor problem in the grand scheme of things, but **** it's frustrating.

Updated mavericks and now my bootcamp windows 7 partition no longer shows up
Hello and thank you in advance for the help!
This problem started when I updated my Mavericks. My start up into the windows side of my computer is normally a bit slow but works never-the-less. After installing the update to 10.9.5 my windows partition first gave a screen where it would ask me to press enter to get into the windows side of the computer but the keyboard did nothing so I restarted the computer. Thereafter, my windows 7 partition no longer shows up when I press option from start up or from system preferences > startup disk. I was able to find the partition on the target disk mode which leads me to believe that the partition is damaged somehow. I have some of my data backed up, but not all of it. What is the best way to make a data recovery and get my windows partition operating again?
I have also tried all the basics like PRAM and starting up from Safe mode but I cannot see the windows partition anywhere except for when I open the target disk mode from my other computer.
Thank you in advance for the speedy replies!Hi Eric,
Bootcamp does show up in the disk utility but it is grey instead of black like the Macintosh HD.
The following information is available:
Mount Point: Not mounted
Format: Windows NT File System (NTFS)
Owners Enabled: -
Number of Folders: -
Capacity: 274.55 GB
Available: -
Used: -
Number of Files: -
What might be the best way to continue to repair it. I do not have the option to click on "verify disk permissions" or "Repair Disk Permissions".
Should I clone the hard drive in the target disk mode??
I'm not the best at this stuff so any more advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! -
Boot Camp Partition no longer shows in StartUp Control Panel
My Boot Camp partition no longer shows in StartUp Control Panel, but does show up using Option Key at startup. This started soon after the latest Parallels update. The Boot Camp partition seems normal and healthy in the finder. Once started via the Option Key, Windows XP-SP3 runs fine. Upgrading to BC 3.0 did not have any affect.
I've tried LOTS of troubleshooting strategies, including completely deinstalling Parallels. Deleting obvious preferences, etc.. No joy.
Any suggestions?Hi,
if I remember correctly Parallels installs some kind of file system driver to OSX to access NTFS files system partitions.
The 'case of the missing Windows partition' is widely spread when using these NTFS file system drivers in OSX.
(Others are NTFS-3G; Paragons NTFS for Mac and Tuxera NTFS for Mac).
To my knowledge there is no other remedy to this phenomenon then to deinstall the NTFS drivers.
But as long as the Option-key is working maybe you can live with it.
Or use rEFIt http://refit.sourceforge.net/ as a Boot-Menu.

Hey all,
Today I resized my OSX partition with the intention of leaving it blank for my new SSD to use as over provisioning space. This resulted in me having 5 partitions on the drive for a short while (which may have caused the issue?). Hereafter, the Windows 8 partition was stopped showing up when pressing option on startup. I opened my bootcamp partition in VMWare Fusion and could was told the drive was unbootable. I used the Windows 8 cd in through VMWare Fusion to run the Auto Repair from the installation CD (probably MBR records and BCD records etc). Then VMWare was able to fully boot my Windows 8 installation without any problem. However, I am still not able to actually boot into my Windows 8 installation as it doesn't show up at startup, and when chosen as target start disk within OSX the computer just hangs on startup before it reboots.
I am considering the possibility of some mis-sync between the GPT tables OSX is using and the MBR records used by Windows 8... I have run a few commands and gotten the following response:

I am have hit a wall in regards to this issue. Why can I boot from my bootcamp partition using VMWare, but not directly from it like when I restart my computer?Okay solution found found a solution finally... i followed the steps outlined in this article: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4144252?start=0&tstart=0 . After i did this my windows bootcamp partition showed up again, but my osx and osx recovery disks became unbootable. Luckily I have an extra enternal harddrive with osx installed on, so ran disk utility and repaired the affected disk where osx had become unavailable. Then rebooted and all disks now shows up and work perfectly again.

Windows Partition No Longer Shows Up After Accidental Premature Closing of Camptune
Mac OS X 10.7.5
I was running Paragon Camptune to expand my Windows 7 partition. The progress bar reached the end and stayed there for about 30 minutes. The Camptune window was then accidentally closed and Camptune quit itself. I restarted the computer but the Windows partition no longer shows up when I try to boot it, only Mac OSX and Recovery Disk. The Bootcamp drive is no longer accessable from System Preferences, and the Bootcamp partition folder is no longer accessable in the Devices area of Finder. Camptune no loner recognizes that there was a partition. Thus, I am no longer able to access the partition's contents or delete it and make a new one.
It would be preferable if I could fix the partition and have it accessable again, however I have no problem with deleting it and making a new partition. Any advice? Thanks for your time.
