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
Sys tray icon - small diamond shapped icon in systray for accessing bootcamp functions.

  • 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.
    Verify and Repair volume “disk2s2”Repairing file system.** /dev/rdisk2s2

    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

       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 foward into voicemail from outside call on CUE and CUCM 8.6

    Dear Team,
    I have CUE Utility and CUCM 8.6.
    I can call from local, if user busy or go out office then call will foward to voice mail.It is ok.
    But when i call from outside to my phone(direct line), then call can not foward to voice mail on CUE.
    Please help me some solution.
    Thanks.

    Hi nam,
    A couple of things to check. Have you set the Forward Busy/No Answer "External"
    on the DN config page in CUCM?
    Are the calls coming in using a codec other than g.711?
    Best Practices for Deploying Cisco Unity Express
    • Each mailbox can be associated with a primary extension number and a primary E.164 number.
    Typically, this number is the direct-inward-dial (DID) number that PSTN callers use. If the primary
    E.164 number is configured to any other number, use Cisco IOS translation patterns to match either
    the primary extension number or primary E.164 number so that the correct mailbox can be reached
    during SRST mode.
    • Each Cisco Unity Express site must be associated with a CTI route point for voicemail and one for
    AA (if licensed and purchased), and you must configure the same number of CTI route points as
    Cisco Unity Express ports licensed. Ensure that the number of sites with Cisco Unity Express does
    not exceed the CTI scalability guidelines presented in the chapter on Call Processing, page 8-1.
    • Cisco Unity Express is associated with a JTAPI user on Cisco Unified CallManager. Although a
    single JTAPI user can be associated with multiple Cisco Unity Expresses in a system, Cisco
    recommends associating each dedicated JTAPI user in Cisco Unified CallManager with a single
    Cisco Unity Express.
    • Calls into Cisco Unity Express use G.711 only. Cisco recommends using a local transcoder to
    convert the G.729 calls traversing the WAN into G.711 calls. You can configure Cisco Unified
    CallManager regions with the G.711 voice codec for intra-region calls and the G.729 voice codec
    for inter-region calls.
    • If transcoding facilities are not available at the Cisco Unity Express site, provision enough
    bandwidth for the required number of G.711 voicemail calls over the WAN. Configure the Cisco
    Unified CallManager regions with the G.711 voice codec for calls between the IP phones and Cisco
    Unity Express devices (CTI ports and CTI route points).
    • The CTI ports and CTI route points can be defined in specific locations. Cisco recommends using
    location-based call admission control between Cisco Unified CallManager and Cisco Unity Express.
    RSVP may also be used.

  • 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

  • Reboot into Arch from Windows

    I don't really know where this post belongs, so I put it in the "Newbie Corner" since I'm new.
    Is it possible to add a menu entry, make a shortcut, make a script, or make a program in Windows (7) that will allow me to reboot into Arch without having to choose it in the GRUB menu?
    Thanks,

    Its possible to access ext2/ext3 partitions from windows, google for it. I did it before, way back when I was still dual-booting.
    Mine is an ext4 partition.
    Grub is on the boot partition which will be ext2(Unless you specifically made it something else). Windows will be able to mount this fine and a script will be able to edit the Grub Menu before Windows shuts down.

  • My MacBook Pro encounters an error when partitioning for loading windows using Bootcamp Assistant. I deleted the partition that was there in order to upgrade to Bootcamp 5 but now I am struggling to get Bootcamp 5 to complete the job. Help please.

    I am struggling to Partition my MacBook Pro using Bootcamp 5, can someone help, please. I previously had successfully loaded Windows 7 running Bootcamp 4 on the same machine. When I upgraded to Windows 8 I started encountering problems. My trackpad would not work and it required me to load Bootcamp 5" as I was running 32 bit this is not supported by Bootcamp 5 I had to completely delete the previous partition, but now I can't repartition as it goes halfway and says an error has been encountered and Bootcamp cannot partition this drive.
    I do not know how to defragment the drive in Apple as I can in windows nor can I clean it up to maybe get everything in neat clusters, maybe somebody can help me solve this problem.

    Sorry Bobthefisherman, this was not helpful. I had already gone through these pages before coming to you. What I have discovered however is that when Bootcamp Assistant deleted the partition, it did not create a single volume but created three partitions instead which maybe the reason why it cannot create the new part ion parameters I am asking it crate. So I took it to the geniuses at Apple who suggested that I reformat the drive and reload everything again! and this might solve the problem. We'll all know whether this is helpful once it finishes the formatting of the hard drive. This process is taking a very long time to complete so I am leaving it overnight for it to complete. I will keep you updated on progress. I am also told that Apple is struggling with Windows 8 drivers and I may not be able to use that, so I am going back to Windows 7 even though I was beginning to like windows 8 very much.

  • Can't boot into OSX or Windows after installing boot camp

    I used boot camp assistant
    Clickced on the "32 gig" parititon size button... It did its magic, then asked for a Windows XP Disc.
    I put the disc in, and the system rebooted.
    Upon reboot, XP install began
    Got to the hard drive part, and it said "install on C: 130 gig unpartitioned space" (my drive is 1 terabyte). I thought it was a little odd since I clicked "32gb" on boot camp assistant, but I went ahead.
    XP Went through install, and rebooted. Upon reboot, it simply booted to the XP Install Disc again and wanted to go back through same install. I ejected XP Disc, rebooted, and nothing starts up now.
    I put the Leopard install disc in... Booted. It says there are no places to install Leopard to. I open disk utility, and all I have right now are:
    disk0s1 (811gb) (which should be my mac disc!)
    disk0s2 (259.4gb) - ??? This doesn't make sense, the drive is only 1tb, so the 2 partitions combined shouldn't equal more then 1tb!) This could be my WD Passport drive, but this still shows even with that unplugged.
    It says that it is not mounted, if I try to mount it i just get an error saying "Mount failed - try running disk first aid and then retry mounting".
    Disk first AID won't let me run, the repair disk button is greyed out.
    I don't know what to do at this point, does anyone have anything that might be of help?

    I've just escaped Boot Camp ****. Went to Boot Camp and it didn't start up as it has for a year.
    It jumped to checking the XP hard drive and would not recognize the keyboard. No input possible. Finally got to XP and it restarted all over again before I could select starting up with OS X. Went through this a dozen times or so before I was lucky enough to get out of it and start in OS X using an OS X install disk.
    What keystrokes are used to bail out of Boot Camp when it fails and start up in OS X?
    I'm afraid to try to fix XP in Boot Camp unless I know for sure, as I'm visiting my folks and haven't brought all my software disks with me.
    If all else fails, can I wipe the Boot Camp partition and reload XP?
    Or must I wipe the whole drive and reload everything?
    Thanks be I have a new fireWire 1 TB coming, but am also waiting on an ordered FireWire cable to arrive.
    Thanks

  • Can not get access files from Windows 7 to Claims-based file authorization share

    We have AD level 2012R2, DCs running 2012R2 of course, and we have clustered File Server (3 FSNodes running 2012R2).
    We enabled 2 policies 
    KDC Support for claim
    Kerberos support for claim
    We created 1 claim type in ADAC (For example "Division" Source Property). Filled this property to all IT AD Accounts by our value "IT"
    On FS made a share folder ITDivision:
    - set permissions  Domain Users can Modify if User.Division equals "IT"
    so on Windows 8 IT Users can access files on this share and on Windows 7 they cant
    =\ . We know from many presentations about Dynamic Access Control that File Server must enroll user claims if client do not support this claims (Service-for-User-To-Self)

    Hi,
    >>so on Windows 8 IT Users can access files on this share and on Windows 7 they cant
    =\ . We know from many presentations about Dynamic Access Control that File Server must enroll user claims if client do not support this claims (Service-for-User-To-Self)
    How is it going? Was there any error message? As far as I know, Dynamic Access Control (DAC) should work for downlevel clients. It’s backwards compatible. As Florain explains in the following blog:
    For non-Windows 8 and non-Windows Server 2012 boxes accessing DAC-protected file shares, the users do not carry any claims. For them, the Server 2012-based file share will query Active Directory and proxy the claims request to figure out what claims
    the user and machine bring. The file server checks in the name of the user, whether they should have claims. With that information, the file server evaluates the access to the file share. So yeah – DAC works for downlevel clients, too. It’s backwards compatible.
    And totally transparent to Windows 7.

  • Can not log into Infoview with Windows AD credentials

    Hi,
    I am using CRS 2008 V1 SP3. I migrated all my AD users from XIR2 to 2008 version recently. I also mapped the AD users correctly and most of my windows AD users are able to log into infoview except some users. I checked those users exist in CMC user list. They also have no problem logging in with their Enterprise password. I even deleted the AD member groups and added again in Windows AD auth in CMC. Also restarted the CMS and the machine itself but NO LUCK. I dont understand why there's problem with only those few users. One of the user recently changed her password..so my another assumption is may be her token is lost...but it should fix when i restarted the machine. Please help!!!

    ok that means the primary issue is with the servercie account ort AD. To eliminate the service account in the CMC > auth > windows AD > change the setting from kerberos to NTLM and test client tools again. Fail mean the problem is with the user or AD, success means the problem is with the service account or kerberos.

  • Can not sign into Apple ID to use iMessage on iPad

    Help?

    Thanks for providing some details about the situation. It would really help if you did, but with the utter lack of anything to go on ......
    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Please help me I had installed windows using bootcamp assistant and forget to get back to Mac OS while starting by using that specific keys

    Help me

    It's normal for the Mac to set the Windows partition as the default startup disk when installing Windows since it will restart a couple of times during the install.
    One way to get back to OS X is to restart and hold down the Option key. You'll get a display of the various drives you can boot to. Double click on the OS X drive.
    An Option key boot is a temporary choice, and your Mac will continue to boot to Windows by default. To change that, once you're back in OS X, open the System Preferences and click on the Startup Disk icon. Click on the OS X drive to make it the default choice.

  • Can't manage to install Windows using Bootcamp

    For some reason I can't manage to install Windows 7 using bootcamp. It paritions the disk, pop in the Windows installation DVD and restart.
    The Macbook Pro takes a while to startup (it stays on the grey screen for a while). After a while of waiting, it goes to a black screen with a white blinking thingy on the top left of the screen. Here is where it gets stuck... I've tried to leave it like that for 30 minutes or so, but it just keeps blinking.
    I tried holding the option key at startup and boot into the disc, but it does the same thing. I'm using a original Windows 7 DVD. I tried a XP CD also, no go.
    I'm using an early 2008 Macbook Pro (2.4Ghz) with Snow Leopard.
    Anyone can help?

    Having this exact issue after getting my (Early 2008 24", 3.06GHz, 8800GS) iMac back from having it's stock drive replaced by Apple.
    Prior to the drive replacement, it had a stock 500GB drive, and dual-booted 10.6/XP Pro flawlessly. Then the drive died. After running it off an external for a month, I brought it in for service.
    Apple replaced it with a 640GB, as apparently they don't stock the 500GB disks anymore.
    10.6 works fine.
    Applied updates, restored my home directory and apps from the external, no problems.
    Ran BootCamp Assistant, made a 120GB partition. Inserted the same XP CD I've used before. Reboot...black screen, flashing cursor. Waited 30 min for it to pick up, nada. Rebooted, held down Option, picked the disc - same deal.
    Rebooted into 10.6, checked the disc was readable. No problem. Tried starting an install in VMware from the disc. No problem. Tried the disc in my MBP. No problem, boots like a charm. Highly skeptical the CD is the issue.
    Re-ran BootCamp Assistant, merged the partition back into the 10.6 one. Rebooted from my 10.6 install disc, ran Disk Utility's Repair over the internal disc - no errors found. Repaired permissions to be safe (found a couple minor things in my home directory). Rebooted into 10.6 and ran BootCamp Assistant again, this time with a 32GB partition. Same problem.
    Rebooted from the 10.6 install media, wiped out the partitions, laid a new, fresh OSX install on the internal. Booted, ran updates, then BootCamp Assistant (did not copy any of my data back this time, nor did I install anything other than the OS and updates). Same problem.
    Shut down completely, unplugged for 5 min or so (reset SMC). Booted, clearing PRAM. Booted into 10.6, re-merged the partitions. Rebooted, clearing PRAM again. Booted into 10.6, ran BootCamp Assistant to create the partition. Rebooted, clearing PRAM yet again. Removed all peripherals save the keyboard/mouse. Tried to boot from the Windows CD - same problem.
    Dug out my WIn7RC1 DVD for kicks. Same problem through similar iterations. This disc also boots fine on the MBP, and can start a VMware installation without issue.
    As we speak, I'm booted from the 10.6 installation media once more, this time zeroing out the internal disc entirely. If this doesn't work, I'm not sure where to go next.
