Booting to different OS

I have very little experience using MACs and am having trouble with my MAC G4 that I use at work. I restarted my computer and it booted to an older version. It booted to OS 9.2. At some point OS X Panther was installed, but it's not booting up to that version. How can I select which OS to boot to? Apple doesn't provide support because the G4 is six years old. Can any one provide some guidance?

In the future just restart while holding down the X key. Release when you see the startup sequence.

Does Yosemite boot up differently with filevault turned on

Can anyone confirm to me if having FileVault turned on causes Yosemite to boot up differently to when FileVault is turned off?
When I first set up my MacBook I enabled FileVault, and my usual boot and log in procedure consisted of; My user name and password prompt is the first thing to appear on screen, along with a blurred image on my wallpaper and a tiny Apple logo in the top left of the screen. Then once I have entered my password a progress bar appears and once its full I am logged in.
I have just turned FileVault off and ever since the restart my MacBook boots up differently. The first thing that now appears is a black background with a white Apple logo centre screen with a progress bar. Once the bar is full the image then changes to my blurred background with the user name and password prompt. Also the little white Apple logo in the top left of the screen is gone.

No.

Cannot repair disk errors for OSX boot volume using Disk Utility while booted from different disk

I have tried three times to repair my boot volume (OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard) permissions using Disk Utility while booted up on a different volume (running Snow Leopard 10.6.4). After hours of Disk Utility reporting that it HAD fixed the problems, an immediate click of "Verify permissions" immediately results in the apparently same continuous stream of permission errors.

Then better luck next time around. Here are some ideas for then:
How to Install Lion Successfully - You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Installed
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities. 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 restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.3.) if DW cannot fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the backup volume. Source means the internal startup volume.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade to Lion:
Purchase the Lion Installer from the Mac App Store. The download will start quickly. Lion is nearly 4 GBs so a fast internet connection is essential. Download time could run upwards of 4 hours depending upon network conditions and server demands at the time.
Boot From The Lion Installer which is located in your Applications folder.
Follow instructions for installation.

Clone Hard Drive and boot to different Mac

First off, lemme give the details... I just got a lacie rugged 500gb hard drive, and i have a macbook pro and an imac (both intel). Now my imac is in a bit of a shambles because i never really went through the process of deleting all the preference files and packages for software i used, i just simply deleted the program itself... so my library (and other things like my itunes library) are somewhat out of order. However, my macbook pro started from scratch, and has everything, including itunes, in order. Now that i have my new external HD, i want to move any important files from the imac (my family guy collection :P), then make a bootable clone of my macbook pro's hard drive (using intego personal backup x5 i believe), erase the imac's hard drive, and restore from the backup of my laptop's hard drive. Basically, i want to make my imac a clone of my macbook pro, while physically deleting all the unimportant stuff off of it, rather than just booting from the external hd every single time. Any suggestions as to wiping the imac's hard drive and restoring from the X5 backup? P.S. When you erase the hard drive (i am assuming using disk utility??) it leaves the OS intact no? So that when you boot you should be able to press option or whatever to boot from the drive? I have already explained what im goin for, step by step would be greatly appreciated....

My bad, didnt realize this was a macbook (black and white) specific group, ill re-post

2008.007 Security Update Will Not Boot - 2 different MacBooks

I installed the 2008.007 update on a 15" first gen MacBook Pro and an 11 month old 17" Santa Rosa 2.4ghz MacBook Pro today.
Both rebooted successfully the first time and we could login but on a reboot or second user login we got a peculiar blank blue screen with the circular 'wait' icon (you know, the animated segmented circle) appearing every seven seconds or so along with a responsive cursor and then disappearing for 4-5 seconds before repeating the cycle.
Have booted each up in target mode & repaired disk, used the install DVD and repaired permissions, zapped the PRAM, etc. all with no effect.
Examining system.log in single user or target modes (which both work fine) shows this message which is very concerning:

What next? I do not want to do yet another install. I feel like I'm back in the late 90s, marvelling at Windows 95 and gradually doing re-installs more and more frequently. I'm up to 3-4 a year so far.
Please help. If you point me to one of the standard Apple 'what to do if you have problems', please don't bother, I've done all that. Both systems were fully patched and fully functioning before application, reboot was not interrupted, repairs were applied pre-update, etc. etc. etc.

[SOLVED] Boot into different OS one time using grub

I have a remote Arch Linux system, that I don't have physical access to too frequently. I wake this system up with WOL and then SSH in. By default, it boots into the first option on the grub menu, which is Arch. I don't want to change the default grub option, but I want to be able to change something while in Arch, reboot, have grub pick the second boot option, use the second OS (which could be any OS, not necessarily Arch), and then when I reboot again, grub would pick the default boot option.
Is this possible?

X61 - Can't get sysprep'ed image to boot on it.

Scenario
I am the senior desktop analyst in the offices of an international business travel company.
We recently won the Lenovo account and the employee of our company that manages the account needs to use a Lenovo laptop exclusively so I was sent a brand new X61 to configure for the rep.
X61 originally came with Vista preloaded but I slapped XP SP2 on it using the enclosed bootable Rescue CD and six XP recovery CDs.
Since we already use a single working corporate image for the 6 different non-Lenovo hardware platforms we currently use, I want to deploy the same image to this user.
I was the person that created the image from scratch and I see no problem with it actually working on the X61.
To create an image for the laptop, one of our fastest desktops was imaged with our corporate master image and brought up normally as if the PC was being readied for deployment.
Once everything had completed, the HD in the desktop had the proper Lenovo x61 drivers added to it and the SATA drivers added to the sysprep.inf file as well.
After that it was sysprepped, shutdown and left lying in its original desktop ready to be cloned over to the drive in the X61 where it would be booted up for the first time after sysprep, in the X61.
So I would still be able to keep the preload on the x61's original hard drive, I used a SATA laptop hard drive from one of our current non-Lenovo systems for the image transfer to the x61.
Problem
When I clone the sysprepped image from the desktop hard drive over to the laptop hard drive, it refuses to boot in the IBM.
It just sits at the screen with a blinking cursor doing nothing.
Troubleshooting so far
I have put the corporate image on the x61's original hard drive [with the XP preload] by just replacing the original data partition and leaving the recovery partition alone = blinking cursor.
I have cloned the whole source drive over to the Lenovo preload HD, removing the recovery partition completely = blinking cursor.
I have installed XP from the original CD using a USB-floppy drive and the F6 key to add the SATA driver during startup.
Once completely installed, I figured that it had a valid boot sector and I Ghosted over the sysprepped image without the IB switch and I still get the blinking cursor.
I have researched on the Internet using Google and have found a couple of links that seem to indicate what the problem might be and have listed them below
Predesktop Authentication
This has nothing to do with the issue at hand as this option lies in the BIOS under Security,FingerPrint.
Its BIOS description also states that this option decides whether fingerprint access is required to boot the laptop and this option has been in the disabled state even while the laptop was booting the Factory Preload.
SATA set to Compatibility instead of AHCI
This setting only affects how the OS sees the HD, not how the laptop sees it and I tried it anyway and it has no effect.
If your XP image isnt properly sysprepped to handle the SATA drive using the proper driver, you will need to set it to Compatibility mode to get into Windows.
As it stands, this is not an issue as I have edited the sysprep.inf to add the SATA driver reference for this laptop and if it ever boots the image, I expect it to never BSOD but thats if it ever boots which it hasnt so far.
Ghosting using the IB switch
I was SO sure that this would fix the issue but I get the same blinking cursor.
Booting into DOS and using Ghost 8.3, I ran "ghost -ib" and selected the sysprepped desktop drive as the source and the laptop drive as the destination and it still leaves me at the blinking cursor when I try it in the laptop.
Re-creating the MBR
I have done this two different ways, one using Norton GDISK and one using a regular Windows 98 bootdisk.
The Windows 98 bootdisk kept saying "No fixed disks present" so it never worked.
Nortons GDISK didnt have any issues re-creating the MBR on the laptop or on the laptop HD plugged in the desktop but the drive still doesnt boot.
Signature failure error
I have heard about people having the same issue as me and getting this error but so far I have not received this error.
As of now, I have restored the XP SP2 preload back on to the laptop to get the original boot sector back as I believe that is the key to solving this whole nightmare.
There are other things I have tried as well and since I have been at it exclusively for almost two full business days now, everything is much upstairs right now but I will remember what I have tried if anyone wants to e-mail me any suggestions.
I await and welcome anyones advice.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi all,
Sorry about not updating this thread but here is the solution and the explanation, hopefully, I dont miss anything because I would like this all in one place so it can be referenced in the future.
The Lenovo's and the Dell's and maybe other OEM's [not Fujitsu-Siemens] use a recovery partition and the boot table that references it is based on some form of Linux as also is the recovery partition itself.
As far as I know, all flavors of Linux use 8,192 bytes for a boot table [4 sectors of 2048 bytes each] whereas a standard boot table is only 1 sector and 2048 bytes long.
This is the reason for the problem that happens with OEM laptops like this one.
What you need to do to get the image to boot is the following [BSODs after booting is another issue]
Create the image to a ghost file on whatever platform you want but use the IB switch in Ghost to create the image with the boot table intact.
Deploy the image to the IBM laptop hard drive ALSO using the IB switch
When doing ANY image deployment to the laptop, the hard drive MUST be IN the laptop itself. The laptop writes its boot sector differently so the hard drive must be in it for the image to work. I was doing everything right but this step and I was still having the issue so this is crucial.
If you are testing the image by deploying straight from the test PC to the laptop by using the Ghost Peer-2-Peer TCP/IP option, start Ghost on both ends with the IB switch but remember the destination SATA drive MUST be in the laptop itself.
Thats it.
Hope this helps everyone out.

The mother of all re-boot problems.

Hi All,
I've got that re-boot problem that seems very common but the solutions out there aren't working.
Basically the computer will turn on, chime, grey screen comes up, shortly after apple logo, and then the gear starts turning, about 2 minutes later restart, process repeats.
I've tried.
- Booting from CD/Recovery Disk - Won't happen
- A million different key combinations, I've read about 10 different posts on key combinations and tried them all, including PRAM reset, boot from different source, etc.
Basically it's like my keyboard commands aren't being heard at all, but to test if the keyboard was working I pressed the caps lock button and the light was going on and off which tells me its powered. The only kind of input I have been able to acheive is by holding the mouse button down to eject the CD, other than that I have absolutly no control what so ever.
Would like any insight.
Cheers,
Jarrod.

HI,
If you've had your iMac for less then one year then it's covered by the one year limited warranty.
Take it to an Apple store or an Apple certified repair provider.

[Solved] Can't boot into Arch after deleting some partitons

About 6 months ago I installed Arch on a machine that used to run Ubuntu. Had some trouble at the time getting to boot into Arch but somehow managed. Now eventually decided to delete the old Ubuntu partitons to free up some space using gparted. Arch partition number changed from sda12 to sda6.
On rebooting after deleting ubuntu partitions with gparted, I got an ubuntu splash screen and a whole lot of ubuntu boot options. Somehow these were all contained in my Arch's /boot/grub/menu.lst. Arch is all on one partition and no separate boot partition (which I had with Ubuntu - maybe I haven't deleted that and this is the problem?). Will need to check that out.
I can chroot into Arch and did the following -
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd0,5)
grub> root (hd0,5)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embedded.

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and

I need to post this now and come back from a different machine to note the error messages I am now getting on boot. ...
Note that when I boot and press esc to get the menu I get the menu.lst I created (in the second quote) above in /dev/sda6, ie the one with the Arch hd and uuid entries - so grub is looking there and finding that menu.lst, but something goes wrong after that.
OK. Have now booted the machine and after pressing esc and selecting the uuid entry (the same thing happens with the hd entry) I get a whole lot of stuff, but what seems relevant is (typing it out) -
List of all partitions:
No filesystem could mount root, tried:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.39-Arch #1
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. This is my MythTV machine so the WAF is about to take a big dive!
If I could just install grub to the MBR as if this was a new installation of Arch that would be great.
I am really lost as to what is going on, which I'm sure is evident.
Thanks a lot

Hi. Unfortunately that didn't help.
So next, based on this post https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … el_version I chrooted into Arch and (a) rolled back and (b) reinstalled my kernel but that didn't help either. I suspected it wouldn't because the kernel was working fine before I deleted the partitions in question.

I then did a pacman -Suy and the linux package has now replaced kernel26. ( See this wiki entry http://www.archlinux.org/news/changes-t … filenames/). I didn't change anything in menu.lst owing to this and it seems there is no need to. Unfortunately this hasn't helped either - still getting the kernel panic.

I don't think I've mentioned that my old menu.lst seems to have disappeared and so must have been on one of the partitions that were deleted. I did have 2 Arch installations when I was setting things up months ago and that menu.lst may have been on the other partition but pointing to this partiton's kernel for booting. Presumably that's possible since this partiton is definitely the one I have been using for the last several months (confirmed by log and other files updated in the last few days etc). Even so, I suppose that probably wouldn't be relevant to this issue, since grub is finding the menu.lst on this partition when it boots so it is looking in the intended place now.
It seems I'm at a bit of a dead end. It seems these kernel panics are usually because there is something wrong with the kernel - which there wasn't with mine (and presumably the kernel in the new linux package is fine) or there is a typo in menu.lst (I can't see one and nobody has pointed one out yet) or menu.lst is pointing to the wrong partition (mine is pointing to the same partition and /boot directory that is found by grub - which is where my boot image is located - so it seems to be correct). I have nevertheless tried editing the menu.lst entry when booting to boot from different partitions but so far that hasn't worked either.
If anybody has other ideas I'd really appreciate it.
If not, some suggestions on re-installing would also be appreciated. I have a recent tar archive of the partition, but presumably reinstalling that wouldn't be of much use since it would just put back what is currently there. I guess that I need to format the partition, create a separate boot partition, do a fresh install of Arch into the formatted partition (and with boot in the new boot partition). And then restore my tar backup (excluding the boot directory) into the formatted partition?
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Bootcamp - No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key help plz

Hello there!
I recently upgraded my imac mid 2010 system with a SSD hard-drive. The old "main" drive went to the place of super-drive and after reinstalling OS X into the new drive and wiping the old drive a very interesting problem happened. I started trying to install windows 7 via bootcamp. I did everything what the bootcamp assistant says and after the imac restarts itself it just says No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key. Firstly I thought that maybe something is wrong with the installation disk (i have an external super-drive connected to the imac). After restarting the imac once again i held down the option button and arrived to the screen, where it shows the avlaible boot options (different disks). Now, what I saw, was funny. The bootcamp assistant had'nt created the bootcamp drive at all. Atleast it did not show it. After doing this two-three times the result was the same. My next idea was that maybe, there is an issue with the concrete SSD model I am using. So I went back to OS X and opened the bootcamp assistant and restored the state of the OS X SSD drive. Next I did an bootcamp partition onto the old drive I have installed. But the result is still the same. Now my head is empty of ideas.
Has anybody had a similar problem and can you please give me tutorial what I did wrong or what to try next?
Thanks.
Indrek.

Hi Michael!
Yep, I did get this running. Not in a normal way (meaning the easy way). What I did, is that I just created the BOOTCAMP partition in OS X. Just let it format and create the partition where you would install BOOTCAMP.
After that I discovered that via a ISO program (WinClone) you can directly restore a previously created OS X boot image to your current computer. So, I installed a blank Windows 7 to my macbook pro, didint install any drivers and just let it work up then. Then I went back to os X (in macbook pro) and made a bootimage for the BOOTCAMP partition. After that I saved it to my external harddrive and wired it to my iMac. In iMac I just downloaded the same boot-image program and restored the bootimage that I made in Macbook Pro to iMac. After that I made an restart and the bootcamp section with windows worked well with my iMac. Install the bootcamp soft and you can do everything and everything works. FYI, you get the windows working via those steps, BUT if you either delete or do anything to make your bootcamp partition unworkable then you will have to repeat those steps again. But it´s fast non-the-less, so it shouldn´t be a problem for you.
If you didin´t understand anything or something doesen´t add up, send me a letter or a notification.
Hope this helps.

Indrek,
There is a Boot Camp forum, I'd suggest posting there because most of the Boot Camp and Windows gurus are there.
Good luck.

Macbook pro will not boot, gets stuck on great apple logo with spinning wheel.

I have a Macbook Pro A1287 13" Core2Duo Intel running Mavericks. This morning it would not boot and got stuck at the grey apple logo with the spinning wheel. I have tried:
1. Resetting PRAM
2. Resetting SMC
3. Starting in Safe Mode
4. Boting to recovery partition and verifiying and repairing both disc and permissions
Unfortunately none of these have worked.
I thought after reading other discussions that it may be the sign/start of hard drive failure and that the hard drive may be corrupt.
The strange thing is that I swapped the hard drive with another macbook pro that I use in work and it boots to the HD no problem, all my files and desktop are as expected.
So, I thought this must be a hardware issue, maybe something to do with the hard drive cable, the battery or worse the main board, but when I put my work macbook hard drive in my macbook it also boots. Other than swapping the machines, I'm not really sure what to do.
One thing to note is that I have noticed over the past few months that the clock will have re-set when booting up and that occasionally the machine will turn off with no warning and reboot.
I would have thought if it was a hard drive problem, the drive would not boot in any machine, and if it were a hardware problem then the machine would not boot with different drive in it.
Any ideas, would be appreciated.

Thanks Linc for the swift answer. From what I have read on this discussion board and from other sources the model of Macbook I have does not have a logic-board battery, but may have a soldered on capacitor.
Also, would this not cause the other drive I tried in the laptop to fail to boot also, as I said in my original post, the machine works ok with a boot drive from my work macbook pro. Just trying to eliminate all possible causes before taking it in somewhere to be looked at by a technician.

No boot option after Windows 7 install on Mac Pro

Hi,
I have problem and it is very frustrating.
My configuration
Mac Pro 1.1 2x2.66
RAM 5 GB
HDs
Bay1 500GB (have a Mac OSx 10.6)
Bay2 250GB (install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit)
Bay3 250GB (in raid Mac OSX 10.6.6) primary system
Bay4 250GB (in raid Mac OSX 10.6.6)
I have install Windows 7 via Bootcamp from system 10.6.6 and format and install Windows 7 on HD in Bay2. After installation I try to choose which operating system I want to run (with option key) but nothing happen.
It was grey screen without apple logo and system boot to Windows 7 only.
I try everything to boot with different options (key shift,x,c,...) but nothing happen. I can only boot with windows 7 and if is the windows 7 DVD in drive first ask to boot with DVD, after that boot on Windows 7.
I try to put Mac OS system DVD but still don't want to run.
I also try to remove HD from Bay1(macosx) and Bay2 (windows7) and boot from Raid HD and I have error that there is no boot system.
In windows 7 I run Paragon HFS+ and I can see HD500 in Bay1 but cant see in Bay3 and 4 (RAID hd). In disk utility I can see all hard drives.
I try to reset PRAM but while booting what ever I press nothing happens and boot only windows 7.
I need solution for this problem, please help me with this issue, thx

Another thing that might be close...
I've installed Win7 64-bit on a second HDD. It is Ok to choose boot with 'option' key, but another option is missing: while in win7 apple's bootcamp control panel shows both MacHD and Win7 bootable partitions, so I can tell 'software way' to boot to win or to Snow Leo. It's OK. However when I open 'startup disk' in OS X there's only Mac HD so if I need to reboot to windows I can't just do it with several clicks. I actually have to shut down OS X, wait for boot screen, press option and then wait for the boot options to appear and them choose. It's 'a bit' annoying, let alone windows version of bootcamp seems to do the job smarter. And it really is a good thing to choose "reboot into desired OS" with a click and go to kitchen for tea or something and not seat in front of the machine waiting for boot screen...
Am I missing something? Is it done the other way then 'system preferences>startup disk'?

Windows server 2012 R2 PXE boot is unworkable slow, I have this exact same set-up working in 2008 R2 What can I do?

Hi there
I'm trying to deploy a windows 7 image through Windows deployment services via PXE boot from a 2012 R2 server.
Issue: PXE boot is extremely slow, it takes up to more than 60 minutes for the device to download download the PXE boot
Things I already tried to get this up and running:
I've tried to change the TFTP block size via command prompt and via regedit
I've changed the settings on the tab of the WDS role (go to WDS role -> properties on server -> Tab "tftp")
Both actions resulted in PXE boot being even slower than it already was.
To make sure this is not because of our environment I’ve set up the same configuration on a windows server 2008 R2, here PXE boot image is downloaded to the machine within 3 minutes.
Both servers are set up through Hyper-V this is the configuration:
2008 R2:
Memory: 4096 MB
1 Virtual processor
IDE controller 2 hard drives
Network adapter
2012 R2:
Memory: 4096 MB
32 virtual processors
SCSI controller 2 hard drives
Network adapter
I can’t imagine that PXE boot is not working because of the differences of the Hard drives controllers or because of the amount of the virtual processors.
Windows server 2012 R2 seems to handle PXE boot TFTP differently in comparison to 2008 R2.
Do you guys know what I can do/try to get this working?

Hi Jacques Rodrigues,
You can run Windows Deployment Services on Hyper-V virtual machines,
that the performance will often be degraded, particularly during the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) download phase. This phase is very resource-intensive and may
fail if insufficient resources are available on your server running Hyper-V.
If you are using multicast, Check if IGMP Snooping is enabled i.e. Routers that support multicasting. In particular, Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) snooping should
be enabled on all devices. This will cause your network hardware to forward multicast packets only to those devices that are requesting data. If IGMP snooping is turned off, multicast packets are treated as broadcast packets, and will be sent to every device
in the subnet.
