Cant find Mac OS boot after win 8.1 update.

Hi there,
Ive had a look around the net for a possible solution but no luck so far.
I recently installed Win 8.1 on a partition. My Macbook pro is a model A1398.
I was trying to create a shared partition. From Mac OS I made the new shared partition ex-FAT. I went into Win 8.1 reformatted it (cant remember if I left it at ex-FAT). In the process of restarting Win 8.1 was nice enough to download some updates and restarted itself.
From then on it doesnt see the Mac OS boot any more. Doesnt even boot into Windows! It has start up errors. I tried the command + R option and I cant do the following either:
1. I cant seem to do anything useful (unless Im missing something) with Disk Utility. Diagnostics show that the Mac OS X install is fine.
2. Cant re-install because it cant see any boot disk options to select from.
Right now Im screwed. Cant do anything with my "fancy pants" macbook pro. Any help would me much appreciated!
Cheers.

Had to revert to wiping everything out and starting from scratch. Didnt have a back up so thats the only way. Set the partition to GUID and Mac OS journalled.
Command + Option + P + R and then set it all to just one partition. Then re-install mac OS.
If the above start up option didnt work, try the command R then try the above option again.
Hoe this helps someone.

    pages file document went missing after force quit. cant find it anywhere even after using recovering files softwares. HELP
    i was working on a document with pages. while transferring files from USB, the 'pinball' thing popped up for the longest time which lead me to force quit the document. the document had been saved before quitting. however, my macbook starts to reboot, and after rebooting that specific file is missing. Before it quit, it says that the file is locked and asked me to create a duplicate, which i clicked yes to.

    Hi,
    just to say that while waiting for a help
    I decided to go back from zero and moved to a second network (thanks i got some few computers available for my tests ) and this time i run in another trouble wich is the subject of a former post (with no reply...) <<HELP!! "Checksum failed" & "Integrity check on decrypted field failed ">>
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=791804&messageID=9468957#9468957
    Seems this always just leads us to problems...
    Strange Sun Java Security Team just won't do anything to help us deploy quite easily on one of the most widely-spread platform ( despite we don't like them that much it's MS servers (2000 and 2003) )
    Anyway if one could help... on one of the two issues Thanks

  • Kernel panic on first boot after 10.6.8 update

    Hi,
    Here are the fact:
    1) I systematically get a kernel panic on first boot after an attempt to update to 10.6.8 (was able to revert to 10.6.7 using Time Machine; now I'm running my tests on a clone). While doing the update, there are NO USB connexion to my laptop, nor ethernet connexion. Only the power cable.
    2) I DO NOT use the software Hands Off which is known to cause such an issue
    3) I've tested this on two different hard drive (with a clone of my system)
    4) I disabled all third app on startup just to be sure this wasn't a conflict problem
    5) After a kernel panic, I'm always able to boot in safe mode
    6) I did try both the normal update and the combo update (same result)
    Now I'm kinda stuck. The next test I'm thinking performing is to update while in safe mode. But I don't know if it will help.
    And yes, my permissions are all fine. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? I believe I need to be in 10.6.8 in order to update to Lion?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Sorry about that. Below you'll find the log of my latest kernel panic.
    I did follow instructions suggested by user "ds store". The only "kext" file that I've got (by running the commands in the Terminal) was related to the software LittleSnitch. I downloaded it again in order to run the uninstaller. I'll try again to update to 10.6.8 under those conditions and report here.

  • Satellite P845T-107 with Win 8 PRO but after Win 8.1 update it isn't PRO

    Yesterday at Saturn Salzburg bought the notebook.
    It has on the bottom a PRO Windows 8 label.
    Unfortunately, I first initiated the update to 8.1 and then only a backup created on a USB stick.
    Windows has muddled up the the Pro version after Win 8.1 update.
    Can not join domain, as I expect from a PRO version actually.
    How do I get the original Pro version again?
    The label does so, that there must have been a Pro license.
    How do I get the licenses number?

    Regarding to the Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page, the notebook was preinstalled with Windows 8 64bit.
    [Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page|http://www.toshiba.de/discontinued-products/satellite-p845t-107/]
    It was not Pro version.

  • Will not start even in safe boot after installing latest camera update

    MacBook Pro will not start even in safe boot after installing latest camera update.
    I started my machine and did a software update. Only the camera update needed. So installed and when required I pressed restart. It restarted and did install. Then restarted again. I expected to get to the login screen and it turned itself off. Tried three more times. Each time shutting off. I unplugged everything, and pressed start waiting for log in window. No it shutdown before the log in window. I then tried safe mode and that did not work either on three more occasions.

    I have managed to resolve some issues. I can now restart the machine via a CD boot. If I do cmd C into something like tech tool pro, then restart from that disks menu it restarts every time.
    If I try a safe start it shuts down. If I try a normal start it shuts down. I have managed to repair permissions and that cleared up some start up permissions but with no improvement to the boot problem. The only way to load is via the cmd-C boot option. Any other ideas?

  • HT6114 MAC Air slow to boot after 10.9.2 update.

    I have a 2011 MAC Air. After the 10.9.2 upgrade my laptop takes about 20 minutes to boot from power off. Once started it works fine, it is just extremely slow to boot. Prior to the update I could boot in about 10 seconds. Any thoughts how to resolve this issue?

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • My Mac Pro won't boot after installing the latest update

    Im running the latest OSX on my mac and recenty did a small updated that i believe contain a few security thing and bug fixs but when restarting the machine after the update it would not boot again after the apple logo has appeard apple script is displayed on the screen contain what i think is boot script failing to run. I have been able to boot the system in safe mode. does anyone have and solution for this as i realy don't want to reinstall the OS
    Thanks

    The most common cause for "Won't boot after software Update" is Directory Damage that existed before the Update, but was made worse by adding files during the Update.
    The most common cure for that Directory Damage problem is to boot in Safe Mode, which takes five minutes to repair the disk, then comes up demanding your username and password, even if you normally auto-login.
    Rarely, third-party add-ons are made obsolete by an update. In this case, booting in Safe Mode (with few Apple extensions and NO third-party extensions loaded) works fine, even if normal mode does not work.
    Have you tried normal mode again after your Safe Boot?

  • HT6378 I cant find my photo library after loading it to iCloud.

    i already tried uninstalling it then when im downloading it said it is already installed but still it has no icon and i cant see it either on the application management.
    tried also wiping the data and downloading again but on the appworld it says "an error has occured communicating with the Blackberry App world web plug in. Please restart your device and try again. If you have content protection enabled on your device, please diable and try again" I already did it but it was always the error.

  • How long is an 'abnormally long' time to boot after 10.4.8 update?

    How long is too long to wait for my macBook Pro to take to boot up after installing the latest update?

    Hello dn:
    As an aside, comparing Windows to OS X is like
    comparing a plow horse ready for the glue factory to
    a thoroughbred race horse. I use both every day and
    have for years, so I have vivid daily comparisons.
    Now then, as I indicated above, you probably caused
    the problem by interrupting the software update
    process. At a guess, you have clobbered directories
    (you, not Apple). The first step would be to run
    repair disk from your software install DVD (boot it,
    holding down the "C" key). Repair disk is found in
    the disk utility. If that works, you should be back
    to the point where you can reinstall the combo
    updater. There is also an excellent third party
    program (mentioned above) called DiskWarrior (pricey
    at about $90, but worth it if it saves the day).
    If none of that works, you probably should do an
    archive and install:

    A good back up/retreat strategy is just good
    computing practice whether or not you are a computing
    professional. There are several approaches. I make
    bootable clones of all my iMacs on an external
    firewire drive using a little program called
    SuperDuper (&28 at www.shirt-pocket.com). The
    bootable clone gives me almost complete protection
    against hardware or software problems.
    By the by, these forums are user-to-user. Everyone
    is a volunteer - not an Apple employee. Apple
    monitors/moderates the forums and provides an
    excellent resource. If you are new to Macs (as your
    post seems to indicate), you should spend some time
    browsing the forums and using the tools available -
    including the excellent library of knowledge base
    articles.

    OK, So I'm a cry baby.
    But I do not buy your argument that it was all my fault. After I inrterupted the hour ling gray screen and ran and fixed a few previlige problems and tried again over 2 hour went by with nothing but the gray screen.
    Archive and intall did get me back and running, but by now 4 -5 hours of my life are gone that I want back!
    And the tone on this whole board seems to be we MacBook owners, who unsupectingly trusted Apple and let the Automaitic Software Update have its way with a computer that was functioning just fine, the result of which is a computer that needs to have the OS reinstalled, are at fault for having poor prior knowledge?
    I bring up Microsoft because they are BAD. They have an OS that allows 3rd parties to install code to render your computer useless at best, a robot of evil at worst.
    Yet here we have the Apple, a trusted known entity and the manufacture of not only the hardware but the OS handing us an install that should have just WORKED.
    So al I can think is the Delta install is the culprit, since I had previously been on 10.4.7 and the Archive & Install put in 10.4.6. The Combined installer is ok.
    Again MacBook owners are victimized for keeping current?
    Some one at Apple deserves a dummy slap at least.
    MacBook owners represent the "Switchers". They bought on style and a promis of stability and reliability. Not the allure of becoming UNIX Geeks or even Uber User or browsers of forums. They came from that dull gray world out there where viruse roam but if you let automatic updates run and loaded up with antiv virus and spyware scanners, things pretty much worked.
    I'm not new to mac as I have been usinge them since I shelled out $3,500 for a Mac SE. (Don't laugh). I gave up however being a Uber User and I at least am tenaciouse enought to find this discussion board. I suspect there are going to be a lot of busy Mac "Geniouses" for the next few days as ordinary computer users stream in with MacBooks with gray screens.
    You know Sony support totally *****, but they are rated the best on the PC side for customer satisfaction. Why? You almost never have to seek support from Sony.
    Again I'm just ******** 'casue it happend to me on a new laptop that was bone stock. Its working now so problem solved.
