Bootcamp volume reboots to Snow Leopard volume
i have a mac pro that has boot camp xp, boot camp win 7 and snow leopard on three different hard drives. on the snow leopard volume i have an installation of paralells 7 with a version of windows 7 in this virtual machine. i /think/ at one point the guys at parallels wired this to boot into the boot camp volume of xp and then we took this off...but i can't recall exactly.
anyway, i have finally found the time to get into XP boot and win 7 boot (Snow Leopard and Parallels/WIndows 7 seems to work fine BTW) and tidy things up and i am finding that:
1. i cannot boot directly into the various volumes after holding down the Option Key and instead have to /select/ the volume i want to boot to and then i have to /restart/ to get to that volume.
2. after booting into XP, if i leave the machine running on this OS, i will come back a number of hours later and it will be booted into the Snow Leopard OS which is on a totally different hard drive.
any ideas on what to do here or what is going on?
also, i was recently given the suggestion to install "The rEFIt Project" and i am wondering if this or perhaps simply re-installing the two boot camp installs would be better.
TIA
thank you very much.
XP is crashing. Not sure why I wasn't able to recognize this but i guess i was still stuck on the Boot Issues of actually getting in there.
looks like fresh installs of everything is in order at this point from what i can tell.
that said, I need both XP and Windows 7 at the moment so one question I have is whether there is a benefit to having the data on one hard drive (with an internal clone) and ALL the OS's on another hard drive (with an internal clone) - AND/OR if it doesn't matter it may be easier for me to upgrade the EXISTING SNOW LEOPARD OS to a new drive.
I mean, if it is going to be FASTER to use the new LION OS on the drive with the XP and BOOT CAMP installs then I would see if I can do this when upgrading to Lion.

Can i install bootcamp on mac mini snow leopard server 2010
hello,there are 2 harddisks on a mac mini server 2010 (snow leopard server.)i want to use the other hdd for installing Windows home server 2011 x64 .
but there is no bootcamp on the server.(do i have to download it?)
how can i do this,or do i have to use parallels desktop.
i have also a mac mini and a macbook pro and an alienware and a clevo laptop so i want the 2 servers seperate(and the mac-server on all the time)You would need to install SL (non sever) on you Mac Mini Server.
You may be able to install the nonsever version on your 2nd HDD
-Partition you 2nd HDD to the max BootCamp Partition
-Install Windows Home Server on the BootCamp Partition (don't know of Windows Server is supported)
So you would have:
hdd1 - SnowLeopard Server
hdd2 - SnowLeopard (non-server) + Bootcamp Partition
Scenario 2:
If you don't have a need for SL Server SW, then wipe out the system and put only the regular SL (non sever) on disk 1. Partition Disk2 for Bootcamp only.
hdd1- SL (non-sever)
hdd2 - Bootcamp
I really don't know if you can copy the Bootcamp app onto SL Server OS to create a Bootcamp partition. -
Just installed Lion OS on my 2nd mac (on the 1st without an issue) but as I had a partition with windows 7 (installed with Snow Leopard bootcamp).
It seems that Lion OS renamed the Bootcamp partition but I am not able to rename it through OS.
Is there a solution for this or do I need to re-install?
Many thanks for your help
RuiHi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1 -
Hi you all.
I have a Macbook Pro Os X snow leopard 10.6.3. I erased my hard drive and now I can't reboot my computer. It wont even take me to the login screen. I tried to reinstall with my installation disk but the installation fails. When I turn on the computer, I get the flashing folder with the question mark, but if I put the CD into the drive, then the folder changes to the apple. I get pass the language selection screen and where to install os x screen, but still, the whole installation fails. The only option that I have for startup is the installation disk and network utility but it won't let me choose the network option. I tried command+ etc+p+r but nothing happens. Tried option during startup and nothing happens. I ran disk repair in the utility and it says the disk is OK. I tried to partition and reinstall, it still fails. Please' please help.. Thanks in advance.Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
installation current.

Got Grey Screen and tried to reboot w Snow Leopard
Now, it is telling me that my hard drive is not S.M.A.R.T. compatible. Does this mean that I did not have Snow Leopard installed on that computer? How do I get the Snow Leopard disk out?

I can't reboot on Snow Leopard.
Hi,
Since, a few moment i can't reboot on my snow léopard hard drive. On my computer i have OS 10 on a the first bay, data (audios ,vidéos...) on the second and third bay and windows XP with bootcamp on the last bay.Everything was OK but Since, a few moment i can't reboot on my snow léopard hard drive.Usually in the beginning i have the choice between OS 10 or windows but now the choice is efi or windows and when i boot on "efi" it's turning, turning, ... with no résult.
Can somebody help me?EFI is just OS X boot loader. So that is fine and cosmetic.
Boot from another drive, emergency clean Mac OS with 10.6.2.
Run Disk Warrior (Alsoft) instead of or in addition to Apple Disk Utility.
Your disk directory sounds like it is damaged.
The spinning gear wheel says the system can't make sense of the last good state, the journal, and can't do automatic repair. A SAFE BOOT or booting into Single User Mode to run the hfs diskutil repair might help - sounds like there was a system freeze or something at some point.
When that happens, booting from an alternate ("E"mergency drive) is best.
Two backup sets? a clone of your system from before this? -
No sound Windows 7, 64 bit running Bootcamp, MacBook Pro 64bit Snow Leopard
Been running Windows like this successfully for over a year. Now, suddenly, no sound. Tried re-installing Cirrus Logic etc, but to no avail. Possibly linked to some recent software updates? Tried to reverse, but didn't fix problem.
Have tried the various suggestions found via Google about compatability with Vista in Cirrus.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.in bootcamp in osx one makes a driver cd which include apples drivers for all the hardware in the mac
and one then install that in windows to get everything working
do that rather then try to install drivers yourself -
Hi
I have a new 21 inch imac oct 2011 version. I installed bootcamp and windows xp on my machine and i also installed parallels 6.
Paralleles works great and i can open any program with it. But bootcamp also works EXCEPT it refuses to give me access to the internet. I installed the bootcamp drivers from my snow leopard disk, it did not make a difference. All the drivers installed but still no internet. I then installed the bootcamp drivers from the gray mac osx disk (#1) but it stopped installing with an error number ( 2753) and it said that the package was damaged.
I have tried everything; i opened each disk and trieed installing the files separately. Nothing.
What i see missing in my devices screen in XP is the network adapter.
I have a router (dlink-dr615) and it is connected by ethernet to my imac. I wonder if THIS might have anything to do with the problem. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank youI'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
Good luck. -
Is it possible to use the snow leopard install disk for bootcamp setup?
I'm going to be installing a windows 7 partition through bootcamp on my macbook, but I can no longer find the two original install disks that it came with. So my question was whether or not its possible to go through the bootcamp process with the snow leopard install disk?
Do you mean a "Retail OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD for USD 29" ?
If so, then yes. use it.
Sounds to me like the Original Install Discs you refer to are OSX 10.5 Leopard ones, right ?
These won't work with Windows 7 since Windows 7 requires OSX Snow Leopard DVD at minimum for the Driver Installation and BootCamp Assistant version 3.x as well, which is also only avaiable in OSX Snow Leopard.

Access Mac Drive from BootCamp in Snow Leopard
I have Windows installed in BootCamp from a fresh Snow Leopard install.
I have two accounts on the Mac side: An Admin level account and a normal user account.
From BootCamp in Windows Explorer, I can access the user files for the admin account, but not for the normal user account. All I see there is:
\Macintosh HD\Users\chrishaaker\chrishaaker.sparsebundle
I have no idea what that is ...
Is there something I need to enable on the Mac side of the house to grant access to that normal user's directories? I havent fooled with either - they are at the defaults permissions-wise.You need to turn off FileVault for that user account.

How do I get to normal screen from blue screen on iMac with snow leopard operating system
My iMac boots w white screen and then goes to a blue screen with no icons. I have snow leopard as operating system. I have held command key and r but can't get the repair menu. I have unplugged and tried to reboot. I have checked plugs for keyboard and mouse. Tried to reboot w snow leopard disk. Didn't work. Now can't get disk to eject. System is working because can still use wireless. Any ideas?
Hello, CMD+r only works in Lion/10.7 & up.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward. -
Anyone using a mini as a Leopard-Snow Leopard dual boot?
I have Leopard (10.5.8) and Snow Leopard (10.6.4) installed on my mini for dual booting, and when I reboot from Snow Leopard into Leopard, the video card output is completely distorted. I have to restart a second time in Leopard to resolve this.
Anyone else using a Leopard-Snow Leopard mini and are you having/not having display problems?
Note this might be specific to Snow Leopard 10.6.4.A strange thing happened. When using Snow Leopard, I opened the desktop folder for the Leopard volume in icon view and moved some of the icons around.
Then when I rebooted into Leopard the display problem didn't happen (although there was still some weirdness with the blue screen being chopped up during bootup). I found all the icons on my Leopard desktop were de-arranged. I started manually rearranging them and then did "Clean Up Selection" on some, and the display problem suddenly occurred.
So this is looking like it might be something to do with the DS_Store file. My theory:
1. Snow Leopard does something to the video ROM that either:
— A. requires some new DS_Store format, or
— B. is just buggy with certain complex DS_Store data (note that I have ~100 icons on the Leopard desktop, carefully arranged and colored)
2. When I rearranged the icons in Snow Leopard, this either:
— A. wrote a Snow Leopard-style DS_Store file for the Leopard desktop, or
— B. just wrote a simpler DS_Store file that didn't have the problem complex data
3. Then back in Leopard when I fiddled with the icons, this wrote a new DS_Store file (either older Leopard format, or just more complex)
4. The video card was still in "Snow Leopard mode" at this point as I hadn't rebooted Leopard a second time, so the desktop display went distorted as soon as the new DS_Store file went into effect.
5. For some reason Leopard will write over the bad/new settings Snow Leopard writes to the video ROM, but only on the second restart. -
NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 Kernel Panics/Freezes in Lion & late Snow Leopard
I've found some other reports of these freezes scattered about the forums, but usually other people come in and post something about unrelated video cards. So this thread is specific to NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 running OS X Lion (10.7-10.7.3), to avoid confusion and cross-polination of different issues.

Since upgrading to Lion I have had many issues with crashes and kernel panics characterized by the following symptoms, listed here in detail so that people can find them when they search:
Pixellation - colored pixels appear in different areas of the screen, in seemingly random bunches.
Mosaics - squares appear redrawn in the wrong part of the screen. Sometimes these squares are large, other times tiny.
Recovery - sometimes the system recovers once it starts doing these. Other times it just keeps going until it freezes/panics.
Kernel Panics - I've only had the "grey screen" appear once or twice. Usually there is a complete system lockup before this can happen, and I have to reboot the system manually.
Some solutions/attempts to solve:
Turn off Energy Saving - This is horrible for the monitor and can lead to burn-in, but I found that many of my crashes occured when the system was trying to recover from "screen sleep". So now I run a screen saver instead, which doesn't seem to trigger it as much.
Screen Saver - Sometimes I can "refresh" the system by turning on the screen saver and then coming back. Other times, this doesn't work and the pixellation/mosaic remains. Sometimes I can't even initialize the screen saver at all (in which case a total freeze usually occurs right after).
Rebooting - seems to clear things up for a while, but inevitably, the problem resurfaces.
Running Windows - Not really a solution, but I have had absolutely no issues with this behavior while running Windows 7 on this same machine (under Bootcamp).
Downgrading to Snow Leopard - I have not attempted this, but I've read others say that their crashes went away when they did. I would like some more concrete evidence on this if anyone has it.
My diagnosis so far:
OS X Lion's NVIDIA driver kernel extensions (kexts) seem to be faulty with this GPU. The Windows drivers for this GPU work better on Apple's own hardware than OS X Lion's. Anectodal evidence indicates that Snow Leopard's drivers (at least up to 10.6.3 – more confirmation needed) do not display this issue. I can confirm that this never occurred in Snow Leopard until Lion was released and I upgraded to it.
My request for help and information:
If you are running this GPU (GeForce GT 130) and OS X Lion, please contribute to this thread offering any solutions you may have or, at the very least, listing your hardware and GPU profile.
If you can, post crash logs so that we can compare common issues (NVDA Resman seems to be a huge recurring kext in the crash logs, for instance).
Post screen shots or pictures taken of the pixellation (colored pixels) and mosaic (squares drawn in the wrong place) phenomenon, so we can build a body of evidence regarding this issue. I will continue to update this thread with the same.
I feel Apple has ignored these issues for far too long, and required too many people to simply purchase new computers and new GPUs. If we can build a solid body of evidence regarding this specific issue, it will be a thread that Apple Support can be referred to.Crashed again, this time while running screen saver. Here's the log:

Mountain Lion/Mavericks 'breaks' wifi base station - Snow Leopard works fine
Greetings all,
(Tried this in the OSx forum with no answers, so I figured I'd try the MacMini community and this one.)
I've been reading my way toward blindness through countless threads, here and elsewhere, from countless people, having problem with Mountain Lion and Wi-Fi these last few days, but some are using Airport, some are using third-party Wi-Fi routers, some aren't really specifying what they're using, so I thought I'd be as specific as possible about my situation - and add the fact that everything is still working fine if I boot into a cloned backup using Snow Leopard.
===
So here's the situation. I have a Intel Mac Mini which I use as a Wi-Fi base station for a Intel PowerBook Pro and an iPod 5. The Mini has been running Snow Leopard, and the PowerBook had been upgraded to Mountain Lion a few months ago. Things were still working fine at that point - the PowerBook's shift from SL to ML didn't affect its connectivity as a 'receiver' at all. About a week ago however, I finally upgraded the Mini to Mountain Lion as well (so that I could install the current version of Adobe Lightroom) and lost my Wi-Fi Internet access.
When I turn Wi-Fi on at the PowerBook, the Mini's network is visible, and I get the solid Wi-Fi fan showing a full connection, but I cannot access the Internet (indicated by the exclaimation point inside the fan for the first few seconds). The same is true on the iPod - I get the checkmark showing that I'm connected, but when I try to access any Internet services will get a pop-up box telling me that the Internet is not connected.
After going through pages and pages and pages of people struggling with similar issues on sites like this, and following suggestions like deleting my preference files, repairing permissions, zapping PRAM, creating new locations, changing IP addresses etc. I got no further. But since I had cloned my hard drive just before the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (thank you SuperDuper), I can reboot into Snow Leopard, and everything still works fine. With that advantage, I copied and re-created EVERY SINGLE preference in the system preferences for Network and Internet sharing* from the Snow Leopard into the Mountain Lion system. (I even went so far as to create a network in Mountain Lion's prefs. with WEP encryption instead of the newer WPA just in case that would make any difference at all.) But even with identical settings on the Mini regardless of booting into Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion, Mountain Lion remains the same - no problem connecting with the network, but complete inability to access the Internet. A few days ago, hoping against hope that an upgrade to Mavericks might reset things into some sort of working mode, I tried that - but no better result.
(*) I note that the wifi heading in the preference panes has changed from "AirPort" in Snow Leopard to "WiFI" in Mountain Lion and Mavericks, but I'm assuming that's just a change Apple made in its terminology to avoid confusion with the external AirPort options.
I would appreciate any suggestions any of you could give. And I would ask that you specify whether any suggested changes are to be made on the originating Wi-Fi station (in this case the Mini), or the receiver (in this case the MacBook). Many of the threads I've read to date can be confusing simply because they're not specifying on which machine any suggested changes need to be made, and while I'm sure there's nothing that needs to be changed at the MacBook, please specify if I'm wrong.
Thanks again,Greetings all,

Snow Leopard = Spinning Beach Ball?
It seems like ever since I installed Snow Leopard, using Safari is a chore. Almost every time I try to open a new tab, I get the Spinning Beach Ball for so long I have to go do something else. Is this an issue with SL? I can hardly get any work done.
I have to say that I'm starting to be angry about all this. I have a Macbook Pro Unibody 2.53 Mhz with 4GB.
Everything was fine. Then I bought Snow Leopard ...
Was this software even tested in the new macbooks?
The system stalls (I get this spinning beach ball) all the time with any app (Apple Mail, Firefox, Safari, System Profile you name it).
This even thought the Activity Monitor says that the system no under any stress.
I don't know why, but I suspect it may have something to do with drivers. But what a heck, isn't the hardware specifications defined and built by Apple.
Can someone post what info is needed to trace the problem?
I have my laptop connected to the company Active Directory, that is the only idiosyncrasy I can think of.
Best regards,
Nuno
PS: I don't want support, I want a OS that works as advertised in my latest model Mac Book Pro. Heck, the Windows 7 installed in BootCamp works better then Snow Leopard.
