Can't boot back to OS X from Windows 8 with Bootcamp

Today I booted to Windows 8.1 using Bootcamp. It was going great until I tried to go back to OS X. Apple's instructions said to just search for Boot Camp in Settings and do it like that, but it didn't show up in the results. I looked for a while, and I couldn't find it anywhere. Fortunately, I could still get back to OS X by holding option when I restart, which is a nice workaround, but I'd still like to figure out why it isn't working the way it's supposed to. Any ideas?

hold down option key during bootup and choose if you want to boot into osx or windows

  • Can't boot back into OSX after installing windows 8.1

    I have a late 2013 MacBook pro 15 inch with retina display.
    After I got windows 8.1 up and running  with a disk copy I tried to go back to the mac os side, but after I held down option/alt after restarting and clicked on the osx partition but all that happened was a white "no sign" showed on the screen and my computer began to boot back into windows.
    I don't know if all my mac stuff is gone, so should I try and use osx recovery?

    Try this first. Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

    how can i manually back up to iCloud from my iMac?

    Back up my contacts, calendar and mail.  Is there a way to manually start a back up?  My iMac is not pushing my information to iCloud for some reason.   There used to be a way to do that with Me.com.  I don't see a way to do it with iCloud.

  • Can I boot the 380e bios ugrade from the cd drive rather than the floppy disk?

    Can I boot the 380e bios upgrade from the cd drive rather than the floppy disk? I don't have any floppies around and I don't want to order them online just for this one task. The bios disk images are here. http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=DSHY-46AKPY

    I'm sorry that I can't answer your CD vs diskette question, but you mention updating your 380E BIOS and the link you've included is for the 390E.
    Here's the 380E BIOS link: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001672

  • 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

    Can I use an Adobe Professional license from 2008 with the current version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    With "license" you mean serial number?  If that serial number was for a different Acrobat version (e.g. 9), you cannot use it for the current version XI.
    You can however use it to purchase an upgrade from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html

  • Can we migrate SAP 40B release system from windows NT to windows 2003.

    Hi,
    We want to know can we migrate SAP 40B release system from windows NT to windows 2003 server; if yes, please share with us the OS migration document.
    Regards,
    R Mav

    > Our SAP 4 O B is on windows NT and oracle version is 8.0.5 and wants to do OS migration from NT to win. 2003.
    Neither Oracle 8.0 nor 8i were releases on Windows 2003, they won't work and are not released.
    So I'm afraid the only way you can go is Windows 2000.

  • If i download windows with bootcamp does that mean i can still use Macintosh and if so how

    if i download windows with bootcamp does that mean i can still use Macintosh and if so how

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you installed Windows properly, you can still start in OS X and use it whenever you want. However, Boot Camp changes the startup partition to Windows, so you may note that you can't use Mac OS X.
    There are two ways of starting in OS X:
    1. Hold the Option (Alt) key while your computer is starting until you see all the bootable partitions in the screen, and choose your OS X partition.
    2. Hold the X key while your computer is starting.
    If you have a iMac or a Bluetooth keyboard, make sure you hold the key after hearing the startup chime.
    If you want to start in OS X by default, after starting in OS X, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose the OS X partition
