Can not boot into OSX after boot camp installation and resizing of Macintosh HD

So from the beginning what I was trying to do was set up my iMac (27-inch, Late 2013)  with boot camp so that I could play some old windows based games that can not be played in Parallels.
I went through the Boot camp process and everything set up just fine.
I had both OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and Windows 8 Professional running but as I was installing games on to boot camp I discovered I did not allocate enough space and needed to extend the Boot Camp partition.
I used boot camp utility to set OS X as the default start up disk and had it restart
I launched into OS X and used Disk Utility to shrink Macintosh HD another 120GB
Restarted again holding option and launched into Windows
Used the disk management in windows to try and extend the boot camp partition into the unallocated space.
It was not an option to extend it so I tried to create a new simple volume from the unallocated space then delete it and try to extend it again.
It still was not an option.
From there I went to restart again while holding option and the only options I had were 10.10 Recovery and Windows
I tried using disk utility in recovery and Macintosh hd now only showed disk0s2
I tried to verify and it could not verify
I tried to repair and it could not repair.
I put the iMac in target disk mode and using a thunderbolt cable I tried using disk utility from my MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012)
Verifying volume “disk2s2”Verifying file system.** /dev/rdisk2s2
Invalid BS_jmpBoot in boot block: 000000
File system check exit code is 8.Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.

File system check exit code is 8.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
This is the same error I got on my iMac
I used terminal diskutil list and got:
/dev/disk2
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk2

   2:       Microsoft Basic Data                         799.3 GB   disk2s2
   3:                  Apple_HFS Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk2s3
   4:       Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP                70.3 GB    disk2s4
I can see that Macintosh HD was disk2s2 but it now shows its Microsoft Basic Data.
I did not format this partition and it was working fine till I restarted the computer after resizing Macintosh HD.
I am not sure what I can do to fix this.
I've found multiple articles about similar issues, but the issue thet they have was that they could not boot to Windows instead of my issue not booting to OS X

****************    Update    *****************
From the Windows Partition using Disk Management I can see that the drive is still labeled Macintosh HD and that all of my data is there.
I have a complete backup so i'm not worried so much about the data.
What I'm most interested in is trying to solve this issue because I'd like to continue using boot camp and I actually work with mac computers and would like to be able to help others if this issue arrises again.

  • Can not reboot into OSX from Windows using Bootcamp assistant

    I'm having a bit of a problem with rebooting into OSX from Windows on bootcamp. Clicking on the icon in the system tray produces a message that Windows can not find the OSX disk. Trying to open the Bootcamp preferences also generates an error. I have no problem getting back into OSX if I shut down Windows and restart the MacPro while holding down the option key. This is with a Windows 7 install on Bootcamp, but I had the same issue with a previous install of Win XP. I nuked and paved OSX and the WIndows disk between installs so my current problem is not carry over from the XP install.

    My bad I should have been more clear. The problem is actually with a XP install via bootcamp, my Win 7 install is in VM Ware Fusion.
    The XP install is on a second drive. Since you asked about this I'm assuming it may be the reason Im having problems.
    The error is I get when trying to access bootcamp via the Windows control panel or by right clicking the sys tray icon is - "An error occured while trying to access the start up disk settings. You may not have privileges ...blah, blah, blah. I only created one account and I have enough privliges to change admin stuff in windows so I cant see privliges being the issue. I reassigned the OSX partition a new drive letter and rebooted windows but this didn't help.
    The only drivers I installed, other then updating the video driver, are the bootcamp drivers

  • IMac will not boot into OSX after startup disk switch in control panel.!

    I am having trouble with my son's iMac DV SE (graphite) running Classic and OSX (10.3.9). Typically, the computer runs in OS9 as the startup system because most of the kids' software we run is old and uses Classic. Over the weekend, I changed the startup disk to OSX in the control panels and restarted the computer so I could install some new software. The computer will not boot past the gray apple and progress indicator. I have tried resetting the PRAM, booting from the CD and restarting with the options key depressed to no avail. (Can't do a Safeboot either.) I was able to put the iMac into target mode and access the control panels via my laptop and restart in OS9. I thought I had resolved the issue causing the startup problem, but I was wrong. Now I can't get past the gray apple or access the hard disk through target mode (the iMac hard disk does not appear on the laptop's desktop). Is there a way to force the computer back into OS9 other than holding down the option key at startup? When I try this, I get the hard disk icon, but I can't move it off of OSX. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Is there a way to force the computer back into OS9 other than holding down the option key at startup?
    Holding down the OPTION key will only work if OS 9 is on a different partition than the OS X installation. If they are on the same partition, it won't work.
    One way to get it back to OS 9 is to boot from the OS 9 or OS X installation disc. Then set the control panel, or preference pane, to boot from the OS 9 installed on the hard drive.
    Another way is to boot from the OS 9 install disc and perform a clean install of OS 9. This will create a new OS 9 System folder and it will NOT touch any other files on the drive. KB 58176, Mac OS 8.5, Mac OS 9: Performing a Clean Installation

    Go ahead and patch the server to SLES11Sp3 and OES11SP2 (via CLI and
    using yast wagon). I've seen the same recently, and after updating it it
    went away.

  • Can't boot into OSX from different Hard Drive

    Hi,
    I am having a problem booting into OSX.
    I put my own HDD into my Macbook when I first got it and everything was fine, no problems. But recently I took it out to keep my data safe and put back in the old HDD and reinstall OSX Snow Leopard onto the old HDD. After this completed I put back the one I had purchased myself but upon starting the laptop a bar appeared at the bottom of the Apple startup logo and after disappearing the system did not get any further.
    I put my my Snow Leopard CD after this to repair and check the disk and then came the errors that It was corrupt and could not be repaired and that I should try to back up as much data as possible.
    My question is, is there anyway to boot from this HDD again without reformatting it? and if I do have to reformat it, can I place it into an enclosure to get the data off?
    The HDD was working perfectly with no reported errors until I put in the old HDD and made a new installation on it.
    Thanks for any help,
    Francis

    After looking for answers and phoning Apple I have ended up having to reformat. For those who also have this problem:
    I have heard that running Disk Repair multiple times works, try booting into safe mode and try fsck in single user mode. My solution was just to connect the hard drive via USB so I could at least get all my data off of it.
    Cheers,
    Frank

  • G5 will not boot into OSX - stays at a command-line prompt

    My G5 will not boot into OS X. I would appreciate and and all advice. Thanks.
    What happened:
    I had the G5 running one morning, with the Isight camera on, plugged into the front-console firewire port. I was running EvoCam software.
    At about 2 hours into running, the cam stopped broadcasting – I got home to check it out three hours later, and the screen was black, and the fan was louder than I had ever, ever heard it on this box.
    I did a hard shut-down with the powerbutton on the Cinema Display monitor.
    At reboot, I see a grey screen for approx 5 seconds, with a dark grey apple logo, and then the screen goes to black, with a command-line prompt.
    It’s been like that ever since.
    I ran the Apple Hardware test, from the internal CD drive, and it shows no errors.
    I cannot boot from an OSX installer DVD. It won’t recognize it. It goes straight to the black screen and Command line prompt.
    I have re-seated the RAM, as well as the Airport Card. The only other card – which I have not re-seated, it the video card.
    I am able to use the machine in Target Mode, so I can extract data from the drives, which is great. Oddly enough, I’m able to use the front-console firewire port to connect to my other Mac in Target mode – with no problems. Also – in Target mode, the fan never goes above the usual quiet self.
    I would appreciate any advice one can provide. Thanks!
    The machine:

  • Can't Boot to OSX w/ Boot Camp Loaded

    Alright, I haven't seen this problem and I am hoping I am just not smart. But what is happening is I am writting this from Windows on my MBP. I did the Boot Camp thing and all, got XP on and it all works great...except...
    I cannot get back into OSX. I shut down and hold option button and get the choice of which OS to load. When I choose OSX I get the gray screen with the apple logo and then the cartwheel thing turns, and turns, and turns, and turns...I let it go 10 minutes or so and it still turned but never came back up.
    Any clue as to what is up? Do I need to do everything afresh?

    Man. . .looks like you may have got too much of what you wished for. . .I mean XP on MBP
    I'd try connecting an external keyboard and use the option key on it--I mean it is worth a try.
    Did you do the firmware update and the software update BEFORE loading XP?
    YOu could try reparing OSX using the disk utility by booting off the install cd.
    I dunno. Try these, you may need a reinstall.

  • I reinstalled osx 10.8.2 from recovery disk, now verify disk says my hard drive is there but wont boot into it regardless which partition i select to boot into , everytime it boots me into the recovery, i need help!

    Mb pro running like garbage with 10.8.2 tried a reinstall of osx from recovery utility now the utility says my hard drive is ok but wont boot into it keeps booting me back into recovery tried restart option to select disk tried using the select startup disk from recovery, gives a message asking if i really want to boot to it and in that message is the only rime it shows a question mark on the drive dont know what to do cant find similar issue

    Your rushing and not making much sense.
    Your machine was running like garbage, so you tried to reinstall 10.8---did you do this or not?
    Disk Utility says your drive is ok, that's good.
    But when you boot it keeps booting Recovery HD, so perhaps the firmware has made a mistake, it can forget.
    You held the option key down to boot into Startup Manager, why didn't you select OS X for the boot volume?
    When you get into OS X you change the Startup Disk in System Preferences, that should take care of the Flashing Question mark issue.
    attemtping to ireinstall osx from recovery partition bar is full on install screen, but im now at -6hours remaining
    So now your reinstalling OS X like you set out to do before, it does take some time as it has to download from Apple's servers.
    If your Internet connection is slow and/or Wifi is slow then it will take awhile.
    So you should have the Flashing Question Mark and Reinstall Only OS X covered.
    You should be able to boot the machine, but your performance issues may be something else and still remain.
    Why is my computer slow?

  • Need help booting into OSX

    I had an accident with my MCPR 2012 and spilt water over the display. The unit works fine and boots but display is dead.
    It works through the tv fine via hdmi using bootcamp into windows 8... but for the life of me i cant get it to boot into osx at all. Tried to hold option key on boot but nothing comes up at all. Is it something to do with the hdmi on boot and drivers? Want to sell it as is on ebay but first i need to show pics of it booting up into osx. Any ideas guys? TIA

    You will need to take it in for servicing. If the display is dead then the unit is not working fine.
