Booting from CD w/BT mouse and KB.

I am not sure if this is possible so I wanted some clarification on this, but I wanted to boot from my OS X CD to Verify and Repair Disk, but I only have my BT mouse and keyboard; I do not have a USB mouse and keyboard laying around. So if anyone knows if 10.4.6 will allow me to use my BT combo once booted from OS CD, please reply. I hate to carry a spare USB keyboard and mouse as it seems redundant to me and Apple Computers are far, far from any sign of redundancy, but if I have to, I guess I will have to. Also, while on the subject of Apple Bluetooth mouse, wouldn't it be nice, to have it incorporate a "touch-sensitive" up-down scroll feature built right into the shell of the mouse, not a scroll ball like that on the Mighty Mouse, because I will be honest, I hate that scroll ball, I love the design and elegance of the Bluetooth mouse shell, it is awesome. Although, the BT mouse would be cool to incorporate "touch-sensitive" right click like that on the Mighty Mouse, but not the scroll ball, it is not visually appealing. So, getting back to main point of this post, if we can use the BT mouse and keyboard after booting from OS CD please let me know, thanks in advance.

Hi, Omar and Chris!
I respectfully disagree.
My answer is a definitive "Maybe."
(1) I just tested, performing both a C-boot (to my Install disc) and an Option-boot into the Startup Manager to confirm what I'd recalled from experience. Yes, in both cases, my Apple Wireless keyboard worked. No, in both cases, my Apple Wireless mouse did not — which potentially makes your objectives quite difficult to achieve. [1] I have an eMac 1.42 that I ordered with CTO Bluetooth (internal module, K/M). My software and firmware are current — and my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse work flawlessly.
This result is consistent with what Apple's KnowledgeBase articles on this subject predict:
(a) Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse FAQs says: "Question 6: Can I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard to start up from CD, start up into Open Firmware, or start up in Safe Mode?
Answer: If your computer has built-in Bluetooth or the D-Link DBT-120 (Rev B2 or later) adapter, you can use the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse to initiate most startup commands. See 'Mac OS X: Keyboard Shortcuts'.
Pressing the eject key as the computer starts up does not eject a disc from the disc drive the way a wired keyboard does. To eject a disc at startup, hold down the mouse button.
Note: In Mac OS X 10.4.2 or earlier, you can use a wireless keyboard to start up in Single-User mode or in Safe Boot mode, they will not work once the computer is started up in these modes. To continue in Single-User mode or in Safe Boot mode, use a wired keyboard and mouse. Download and install the Mac OS X 10.4.3 Update or later to be able to use an Apple Wireless Keyboard in single-user mode.  
If you find that you are unable to use key commands at startup, make sure you have installed the latest Bluetooth firmware update, and that you are using a supported Bluetooth adapter. See document 86493, 'Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse: About the Bluetooth Firmware Update'." I agree with this — as far as it goes. Note that the functionality of the wireless mouse under these special circumstances isn't mentioned. Also, please read Article 301282:Apple Wireless Mouse and Keyboard — Update firmware before upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4 in addition to #86493.
(b) About the Mac OS X 10.4.3 Update (Delta) notes that, among the "Other" improvements it implemented, "Allows Apple Wireless Keyboards to work in single-user mode."
In summary, my conclusion is that your Apple Wireless keyboard should work — provided, as Chris noted, that you have an internal Bluetooth module or a supported D-Link DBT-120, Rev. B2, B3, or B4 adapter and have installed Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2 [11/23/04], Bluetooth Software 1.5 [02/05/04], and the Wireless Keyboard/Mouse Firmware Update 1.1 [03/23/04]. If you're not sure, check in System Profiler »» Hardware »» Bluetooth. Depending on the age of your iMac G5, I'd expect to see Software Version 1.7.0f18 and Firmware version 2.XXXX or 3.XXXX reported if you're current.
(2) I can't urge too strongly that you must have a "backup" wired mouse handy, anyway. Although many of us didn't realize this when we first "went Bluetooth," KnowledgeBase articles Bluetooth: How to Set Up Your Apple Wireless Keyboard and Bluetooth: How to Set Up Your Apple Wireless Mouse say this clearly. Quoting from the latter, "Use a Wired USB Keyboard and Mouse During Setup
 During the setup process, you'll need to use a USB mouse before the Apple Wireless Mouse can work. Keep a USB mouse connected to the computer until you've completed setting up the Apple Wireless Mouse. After setup is complete, you can disconnect the USB mouse."In my experience, this will be necessary when for some reason (e.g., changing batteries), you must disconnect then re-connect your Bluetooth-enabled mouse. Although Article 86467 says something similar for your Apple Wireless keyboard, I haven't needed to use a wired keyboard in ~9 months.
Btw, from participating in numerous discussions in this forum, I'd be remiss if I didn't share that a number of users have had something less than the success with ongoing access to their Bluetooth-enabled keyboard that I've summarized above. (Yes, this is irony.)
HTH!
Warm regards,
Dean
[1] You may be interested to note that, under "normal" circumstances, you can manipulate most menu options using keyboard alone — if you have enabled "full keyboard navigation" and are aware of the necessary commands. I didn't test this in the "test runs" mentioned above, however.
[2] You may be able to "inspect" the functionality of your wireless keyboard to perform "pre-boot" startup keyboard shortcuts. Look in your system.log(s) with Console, focusing on a boot sequence (you can match the time stamps to a restart or start-up). The early logged entries involving "CSRHIDTransitionDriver" reflect temporal Bluetooth keyboard function (e.g., entering "C" immediately following the chime) while a startup volume is being sought.
I edited this message... But probably not enough!

My MacBook pro will not startup. I get a blank grey screen no logo appears so I can't chooseadiffer t drive nor boot from DVD. Safe mode and verbose mode also don't change blank screen.

It was running slow with the colored spining appearing often. This started happening weeks ago with Yosemite so I formatted the disk with the DVDs that came with the mid 2011 MacBook pro, 10.6.8. I then installed Yosemite on an external drive and this morning i was booted from the external hd with Yosemite and it stopped recognizong mouse clicks so I forced a restart and now I'm stuck with the blank grey screen. Safe mode and verbose mode also do not work.

Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

Boot-camp/Windows with cordless mouse and keyboard

I am picking up my 27" quad core iMac tomorrow. In anticipation I bought the Pogue book on Snow Leopard. In it he says that you can't install Windows with the cordless mouse and keyboard but that once installed it can be used with the cordless mouse/keyboard. Will someone please tell me he is wrong .
Thanks.
Alan

I used mine to install Windows. Worked just fine till the Apple Bluetooth drivers were installed, then I just had to connect a regular USB keyboard/mouse to pair the bluetooth keyboard and mouse again.
One suggestion, after you install the Boot Camp drivers and plug in your USB keyboard/mouse, uninstall the "Apple Bluetooth" drivers (I believe there are two of them) and restart your computer. Let Windows automatically install generic drivers for the built in bluetooth, THEN pair your wireless keyboard and mouse. After that you can reinstall the Apple bluetooth drivers if you want, although I don't think it's particularly necessary. The generic drivers seem to work fine in my experience.
You may run into trouble pairing your keyboard and mouse, if so, refer to the "Boot Camp" section on this site, there are millions of threads about it there.

What hard drives will allow me to boot from them on power PC and Intel?

I'm trying to get a setup together to make use of my old versions of OS X. I'm planning to partition a hard drive and install each version of OSX on its own separate partition and possibly OS 9 as well.
That part seems to be the easiest to figure out, but the hard part is finding a drive that would do both. I was considering a portable USB drive like this http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/external/freeagent/freeagent_go/
But I'm not sure if it would boot to a Power PC machine.

This may be over simplifying it but PPC Macs won't boot from USB, just Firewire, hence the 'need Firewire' part of Niel's statement. PPCs also have to have their drives partitioned with Apple Partition Map in order to be bootable. Intels on the other hand will require you to use GUI partition map when installing an OS, but then that will make the drive unbootable on a PPC. Although Intels require you install to GUI, I believe if you have a drive with APM and then clone the Intel version of the OS to the APM drive it will actually work as a bootable drive for the Intel Mac. So the bottom line is, you'll need to have the drive partitioned with APM to make it bootable with the PPC, and you can slip an Intel version of the OS onto the drive too.
Note, by the way, that even though you may have OS9 on that drive it still won't work with your Intel Mac or any Mac that won't boot OS9 natively. Nor will the Intel Mac be able to use it as Classic, nor will it work as Classic with anything higher than Tiger.

Booting from a USB Flash Drive and Optimizing Performance

I know that you can boot Leopard from a USB flash drive, and I have a 16GB flash drive I'm using as a bootup disk on this 2006 MacBook I have that has a broken hard drive (it was recalled, but the recall ended in 2010).
The problem is that it's very slow. I have about 8GB of free space on it, so it can't be the VRAM being too small. The USB speed just stinks. There must be ways to optimize the OS to run off of a slow drive by accessing data as infrequently as possible. What can I do to speed this up? Should I disable hard disk sleeping? Should I use some kind of Mac tuneup/optimization tool's feature?
I plan to get an internal hard drive for it, but I'm stuck with this for a while.

Not all USB2 Flash drives are equal, in fact I bought 2 16 GB USB drives for cheap, as along side of them were even the same brand 16 GB Flash Drives just a different model, for 5 times as much!
Me was thinking how bad could they be? Well, they could be 5 times worse than other USB2 flash drives... LOL on me!
They under extremely rare occasions will Read or Write at 5 MB/s, & very often 1 MB/s...
My Buffalo Flash drives do near USB2's top speed, see some diffs...
http://usbspeed.nirsoft.net/
Optimizing yours will give little benefit.
You could also do a USB2 RAID0 setup if you have enough ports.

Problems booting from OSX DVD and External FW HDD

I've been trying recently to take a Dual-Bay Firewire Harddrive unit running a Oxford Semiconductor OXFW911 Chipset. I have two 250GB Hard drives and on one of these I have it Partitioned into 3 partitions. One is my Scratch Partition, one is the Restore of a DVD Install Disc and the last is a "Pre-Installed" version of OSX. I want to be able to boot from the Install DVD partition and the "Pre-Installed" Partition. I have successfully Imaged the Install DVD Partition and was able to boot from that partition once to install OSX on a computer without a DVD drive.
Problem now is that I can't boot from the partition, or I should say, I select it from the Sys Prefs and it will pass the grey screen to a the blue background and just get hung up. It never displays the dialog to select a language to begin the install.
I also can not boot from the Install DVD. It will show up in the Startup Disk in Sys Prefs but always ends up hanging.
I've tried booting using "Option" and it displays my Internal HD and then two icons for the Install DVD Partition on the External FW Drive. Neither one allows for me boot up.
Any ideas for what I may be missing?
Thanks,
Russ

It appears that if the Partition with OSX was installed from anything besides the Restore Disc, the Powerbook won't boot to it.
I think this is ridiculous, and if I've went wrong somewhere, someone please correct me.
Thanks.

T400 - frozen mouse and keyboard after waking from standby

I'm experiencing a very annoying problem on my T400 with Win XP Professional SP3: around 75% of the time, when I wake up my T400 from standby mode, the mouse and keyboard don't work. Actually what happens is one of these situations:
1) Neither keyboard nor mouse (stick and pad) respond - Ctrl-Alt-Del to enter username/password is not registered, I can't log into Windows
2) Keyboard works (I can log into windows) but mouse doesn't respond
I have to close the laptop to standby and re-open, repeatedly, until it finally works. Though one interesting aspect is that if I have external USB keyboard and mouse plugged in, they always work.
Anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance!

How do I enable booting from CD/DVD and USB drives?

Ok, I have been struggling with this all night, and I am stumped. I have a brand new z510 notebook, and I need to do a clean install of windows 8.1. Problem is that I can't seem to boot from CD or USB. I have entered the bios, and although the DVD rom drive works, and it shown correctly in BIOS, it does NOT allow me to add it to the boot list. Also, there is an option called 'Boot From USB' I enable that, and still the USB boot does not show up in the boot list. The only thing I have in the boot list is the 'Windows Boot Manager' and it lists the name of my drive.
I thought that maybe secure boot was the issue, but I tried disabling this, and is still doesn't let me do what I want.
I am kind of at my wit's end here. I just paid $800 for a top of the line laptop, and I can't even boot from a cdrom. Every computer I have had since the 1980s have allowed me to do just that without trouble.
What am I missing??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do you see any BIOS settings like "Boot mode" with a "CSM" or "Legacy" type of item as a choice? You might try toggling that to see if you can successfully boot from external media that way.
Disclaimer: I don't have a Z510 to confirm the BIOS screens. I'm going by inference from what I see on my Y2P and X1C.
Please let me know if this works.
Regards.

G4 (10.4.11) won't boot from disk and won't safe boot

I lost the items from the bottom half of my finder sidebar list on my G4 running under 10.4.11. The instructions to correct this problem that I found include safe booting (holding down shift after startup tone). However, this just doesn't happen (left with spinning gear for minutes). I tried to boot from two different disks (DiskWarrior and Apple's Hardware Test - holding down C at startup), but with the same result... a spinning gear.
I can still boot the computer as normal and it still works, but there is obviously something not right.
Anyone recognise these peculiarities?
Thanks,
Lee

Lee:
I always shut down my Mac when not in use and some times I will restart when an application slows down. When you load applications they most always require restart. When the monitor freezes on some glitch the first maintenance recommended is to restart or shut down for a couple of minutes. Your Mac will respond much better. sometimes to many application may be open at once. I sometimes forget that I've opened an application and forget to close it. Keep it lean and plenty of free disk space on your OS Volume (hard drive) for Virtual Memory your Mac uses it often for temp storage. I have two backup Firewire hard drives that I keep most important data. I try to keep all applications on my OS Volume and only data that I use every day and I always backup when I complete my up date.

I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and now some CDs I use for school do not work. Can I create a partition to run both Snow Leopard and LIon or does it only work to run windows? How do I do this?

Getting a new CD from publisher is not an option as they would want me to pay for a new one and they are pricey. If possible I would prefer to keep my upgrade to lion but would go back to leopard if there's no other option.

You can add another partition on which you can install Snow Leopard. If you do, however, you cannot use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows. Just so you know.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD and install on the volume you just created. Be sure you set the new partition as the target for your Snow Leopard system.

Unable to Boot from OSX -- Get Strange Schematic

Hello -
A friend forgot her password on her iBook. Using this forum, we found out that she can access and change the password by booting from the OSX disk (Tiger) and opening the "Utilities" on the installer. So we inserted the disk and restarted the iBook, holding down the "C" key. To our surprise, instead of getting the usual install screen, we got what looked like a schematic of a mouse, from which we could not exit. The only thing we could do was to reboot from the hard disk. This happened numerous times. Has anyone seen this before, and does anyone have any advice? Thanks for your help.
Shelly
P.S.: Holding down the "Option" key at restart got us nowhere, as you are prompted to enter the password before proceeding.

Hi, Shelly.
You wrote: "P.S.: Holding down the "Option" key at restart got us nowhere, as you are prompted to enter the password before proceeding."While holding the "C" key is the correct way to startup from a CD, your description implies she enabled Open Firmware password protection on her Mac. See "Setting up firmware password protection in Mac OS X 10.1 or later". If you're seeing the same screen as the screen shot within that article, that may explain the problems you are having.
There are instructions at the end of that article re: disabling the open firmware password, but they require the password. Since she doesn't know the Admin password, she's stuck in a "Catch 22" if she's enabled Open Firmware protection.
I suggest you have her take the iBook to an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
• If there is an Apple Retail Store in your area, I'd recommend taking it there. You may wish to call ahead to make an appointment at the Genius Bar.
• If not, try the "Find a reseller" search here to see if there's an Apple Authorized Service Provider in your area.
There are ways of removing Open Firmware password protection without having the password, but I'm reluctant to post them here as the same info would also be useful to someone who stole a Mac.
Good luck!

IMac can't/won't boot from Leopard DVD

My 1GHz G4 iMac can't or won't boot from the DVD, although I know the media is good.
I get stuck on the grey screen, the rotating bug stops rotating after about 5 minutes.
It will still boot from the hard disk fine, and will boot with other DVDs as well. Hardware diagnostics check out fine.
I did try single user mode, it will get there OK.
Verbose mode spits out a lot of messages (who knew? - lol), but nothing that seems to point to any one issue. It too stops spitting out messages after about 10 minutes.
Any ideas?

I did try the clicking the mouse thing just for the heck of it... no joy.
I do see a few other threads like this one, so I'm not alone on this.
The error messages I see are (not going to type them out all the way):
launchd[1]: Failed to count the number of files in /System/Library/StartupItems no such file or directory
Then a bunch of mDNSResponder errors, also saying either no such file/directory or invalid destination port.
Then a message saying Folder Manager is being asked to create a folder (cach) while running as uid 0
Then Cannot use ATS Persistent Store - switching to old FODB cache code
kextd[47]: root filesystem is read-only; skipping kernel link data generation
followed by a couple of errors from configdp[41]
Then nothing....
Still stuck...

My 27" iMac Freezes, Won't boot from DVD

My iMac has started to freeze up every few minutes. Every so often, it becomes unresponsive; the mouse cursor still moves (sometimes it turns into a beach ball), but I can't click or type anything. Whenever this happens, the hard drive begins to churn as if it's reading or writing something big. This usually lasts only about thirty seconds to a minute, but it's happening with frustrating regularity.
I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a few days, now. I'll walk you through the steps I've tried so far.
I ran a check on the hard drive with Disk Utility. This came back with a message about the files/directories not matching up with their expected counts. The solution it suggested was to boot from a Snow Leopard disc and let Disk Utility run a Repair Disk while the startup drive is not mounted. It was at this point that I realized that I couldn't boot from the dvd. Whether holding 'C' or 'Option', when it tries to boot from the disc, it gets to the Apple logo and then hangs.
I kept researching and found a workaround; boot into Single User Mode and perform fsck, which fixed the Disk Utility error, but did not solve the freezes/noises, and I still can't boot from the dvd.
Any ideas?

Thank you for your prompt response.
Well, I'm not sure if I explained it clearly. Holding the Option key does indeed bring up a list of bootable devices. The problem arises when control is passed to the Snow Leopard disc. The Apple logo flashes, I can hear the optical drive being accessed, but then it locks up.
I should also clarify that it's not the disc that came with the iMac. I just moved and can't find the original disc, so I borrowed my neighbor's (which came from a Macbook he bought after mine (which I bought last year)). I am under the impression that Macs can't boot from discs that are older than the version of OS X that they shipped with. I wouldn't think that's the issue, here, as his came out later than mine, but I've still got a lot to learn about life in the Appleverse.
My data should be safe--I've got an up to date Time Machine backup on an external drive. The performance issues aside, I'm really looking to understand the underlying problem(s) here.
So, one option is that the RAM might be bad. I can test that by swapping out each DIMM and checking if the problem is resolved. One thing I don't understand, though, is why bad RAM would manifest as the hard drive being accessed. Is there a definitive way to test the logic board, as there is for testing RAM?
Also, I keep thinking of other little syptoms which may or may not be related.
Recap of Symptoms:
Magic Mouse occasionally loses its magic (right click, multitouch, etc.) and needs to be turned off and on.
Free disk space fluctuates by as much as eight gigs (without my intervention).
System stalls (accompanied by HD access sounds) multiple times per hour.
Can't boot from dvds (though, this could be a version problem).
**Fixed: Disk Utility Verify Disk error.
I do understand that this might be a hardware error, and I certainly know how much trouble that sort of thing is to find/fix. I'm definitely willing to open the case and swap out DIMMs and drives, but not until I've exhausted my software solution options. *crosses fingers*

Cannot access boot from Mac OSX install Disc-frozen cursor

Twice a month I do some housekeeping and clean up my Mac--run scripts, verify preferences, repair permissions, etc. Quarterly I boot from the installation disc to renew any start up info that may have become corrupted.
My IMACG5 won't allow me to do this now. I put the disc in, and shut down the machine. I start it up again while holding down the C key but when it is finished booting from the disc my mouse cursor is frozen on the screen and I cannot acess anything. I have a battery operated mouse and I always check to make sure there is sufficient battery life.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is up and how I resolve this issue? At this point I won't be able to wipe my hard drive and re-boot everything fresh from my installaion discs because the cursor is frozen.

Win 7 boot from VHD "License Error: Booting from VHD is not supported on this system"

I am trying to set up my TP 500 model 2242-CTO to boot from a virtual hard drive, per the instructions at
http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2009/05/22/dual-boot-from-vhd-using-windows-7-and-window...
I get all the way thru the Win 7 setup, but just as the login screen is presented, I get the subject message. That's the end of story, can't go further.
I just updated the BIOS and hard drive firmware to the latest versions on the Lenovo site as of today (3.09), and the hard drive firmware said no update needed.
Anybody know what will work? Just academic now, as I will go ahead an reinstall win 7 normally....
Thanks !

Not true, mine is win7 pro and works, I think the problem is that lenovo makes a custimized boot for their utility
