Cant select boot type

Hi everyone
Ive set up a partition for boot camp but after I restart my computer I get
"1.
2.
Select CD-Rom Boot Type:_"
My keyboard wont work though, so I cant get past this part. Anyone got any ideas for a fix or anyone know why this is happening? Im only guessing because I wasnt able to download the windows support software

It would help us help you if you provided some details about your computer and the steps you took to partition your hard drive and install Windows. You did follow the Boot Camp installation guide right? And you installed the drivers from the OSx disk right? If you got any errors during partition and installation what did they say?
Per the install guide, you are not using a wireless mouse and keyboard right?

Windows 7 RC "select CD boot type" message

Hello
I have tried installing Windows 7 RC on my MacBook Pro 3,1 with no luck.
When i boot from the DVD it asks me to select CD Boot Type, but the keybord is frosen, or the mac is frosen, cant tell.
anybody that knows howe to get past this???

If you don't have Windows installed already, I don't know of any method to modify the DVD.
If you have Windows, you can upgrade from Vista SP1.
You can use Imgburn in Windows - including Fusion, Parallels or VirtualBox, to rebuild the ISO.
Start IMGBURN in Build Mode
Advanced tab -> Bootable Disc
Extract Boot Image
First thing you will want to do is extract the boot image off of the DVD created from the .iso downloaded from the beta site, you can access this while in "Build" mode.
You should get a dialogue asking if you want to have Imgburn automatically setup the Bootable Disc – Make Image Bootable options to be filled in for you.
While that DVD you burned is still in the drive, and after you've extracted the boot image somewhere to your hard drive, click the button to browse for a folder to add the files from the DVD to the image. Just add the root of the drive, you should then have something that looks like this.
Now go and select folder source as your DVD drive with the ISO you downloaded and burned to the DVD.
We are about to write to disk a new ISO after filling in the Restrictions and Options we want
(see Jowie again if needed) When you save to disk drive with new ISO filename, it will give you a summary of sectors, size and then start writing image file.
I was successful with prior builds of Windows 7, and Vista SP1 64-bit, but not RC - yet.
Quoted from earlier thread:
Using latest Imgburn and following tips on what options to select, I was able to take and modify the ISO to allow booting and not getting the EFI boot menu.
+*made a bootable DVD Windows Ultimate (7077) 64-bit using the latest Imgburn and tips from Jowie.*+
http://jowie.com/blog/post/2008/02/24/Select-CD-ROM-Boot-Type-prompt-while-tryin g-to-boot-from-Vista-x64-DVD-burnt-from-iso-file.aspx
http://www.imgburn.com/
Just entered the parameters from Jowie and it did the rest.
Took DVD I had burned with 7077, wrote to disk, modifies it, and when burned back to new (bootable) DVD. Also worked with the system recovery CD that Windows 7 now offers to create, just have to redo the CD, but boots fine and lets me see and repair both Vista and Windows 7 operating system volumes.
Maybe something changed in 7100 RC build.

Select CD-ROM Boot Type Error installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp walkthrough

Much thanks to John Anderson at AndersonHatch.com for his excellent
walkthrough for installing Windows 7 x64 in Boot Camp.
Since his post there has been an update to ImgBurn which adds a few
screens and dialogues whose proper navigation may not be obvious. He
also left out a few choices that SHOULD be obvious but you know how
THAT goes.
Here then, cribbing liberally (plagiarizing, actually) from John's
walkthrough, but including some "for idiots" footnotes (which are
more for my own benefit than yours), is the most current (as of March,
2010) walkthrough, which presumes you have a DVD of Win7 (if you
downloaded an iso file from somewhere I'm sure the instructions are
similar but I'm not exactly sure how. Perhaps someone can add a
comment with this variation?)
ON A WINDOWS MACHINE:
1: Download and install ImgBurn.exe from the cloud.
2: Insert your Windows 7 Install DVD, preferably into your
---DVD-ROM drive but if possible into an orifice of whomever is
---responsible for ordinary shmoes like you and me having to spend an
---entire day Googling this problem and then following a simple
---27-step procedure to do the most basic thing you can do on a computer
---which is to install an OS. This is before we can even use the computer
---to do anything useful which at this point is a dubious prospect. But I
---digress...
3: Extract your boot image as follows:
---a. Using ImgBurn, go to "Build" mode. All fields should be blank at
-----this point.
---b. Select the "Advanced" tab.
---c. Select the "Bootable Disc" tab
---d. In the dropdown under "Extract boot Image" select your DVD drive
-----and then click on the the little disk icon to the right of the
-----dropdown. A "Save As" window opens. Choose a location on your hard
-----drive to save to and keep the filename "BootImage" and click "Save."
-----This operation only takes a few seconds. ImgBurn presents a dialogue
-----box upon success.
---e. When it asks if you would you like to use the boot image file in
-----your current project say "Yes."
4: Add your disk to your new disc image
---a. On the left side of the ImgBurn window in the "Source" panel
-----click the little folder icon (second down from the plus sign)
-----and browse to select your Windows 7 Install DVD (Just select
-----the entire drive, no files or folders inside it). Hit OK.
---b. Select the "Options" tab on the right. Data Type: MODE1/2048.
-----File System: ISO9660. UDF Revision 1.02.
---c. Only the "Recursive Subdirectories" checkbox should be checked.
---d. Select the "Advanced" tab again.
---e. Select the "Restrictions" tab
---f. Select “Level X – 219 Characters”
---g. Select "Standard" character set.
---h. Select only the following checkboxes:
-----Allow More Than 8 Directory Levels
-----Allow More Than 255 Characters In Path
-----Allow Files Without Extensions
-----Don't Add ';1: Version Number To Tiles
---i. Select the “Bootable Disc” tab again. Make sure “Make image
-----bootable” is checked.
---j. Select "Emulation Type: None (Custom)" in dropdown.
---k. The "Boot Image" (which should already be filled in if you said
-----"Yes" in 3e) should be a path to the file "BootImage.ima." If not,
-----select the BootImage.ima file you created in Step 3.
---l. Load Segment: 07C0
---m. Sectors to Load: 8
5: Build your new iso.
---a. Under "Extract Boot Image" select your DVD-ROM drive again.
---b. Enter a name for your new iso on the left under "Destination."
-----Use the folder icon to the right of the dropdown, or enter a
-----filename manually. You can call it anything. I called mine "New7."
-----Make sure you are saving it to your hard drive, not back to the
-----DVD-ROM drive.
---c. The "Source" field in the upper left should be blank but the
-----directory is "D/:' I know this is confusing but trust me.
---d. Click the big folder pointing at a disc document icon at the
-----bottom left to create your new image! This operation may take
-----a few more minutes of your precious life. Oh well, there's plenty
-----where those came from...
---e. Here is where ImgBurn gets way too helpful. Decline its offer to
-----change the setting from "UDF" to ISO9660 + UDF." Just say "No."
---f. Laugh at the politically correct dialogue for "Confirm Volume
-----Label" and click "Yes" or just wait 30 seconds for the
-----programming gremlin to do it for you.
---g. Click "OK" for the useless (to non-propellerheads) "File,
-----Content, and Data" info dialogue box (but thank you ImgBurn!)
6: Burn your new iso.
---a. Go to burn mode, baby.
---b. Select the iso file you created in 5b.
---c. Remove your Windows 7 Install DVD and insert a blank DVD,
-----preferably into your DVD-ROM drive but...
---d. Select your destination blank DVD and click the "Burn" button.
If you have ADHD like me you can skip the "Verify" cycle (the disk is
probably fine) and use it to install Windows 7 x64 on your Mac and
return to your regularly scheduled life.
Enjoy!

You cannot stuff a UEFI into an EFI32 ROM, there isn't room; EFI32 is 2005-2008; UEFI 2.x was the first to support 64-bit.
Apple does have an article on which Macs DON'T support 64-bit Windows (I think it actually just says my Mac Pro 2006 doesn't support Windows 7, which of course I am running! But had extra hoops.
It is possible to install Windows 7 32-bit on one drive, then boot into that, and install Windows 7 64-bit ON A SEPARATE drive or partition (my mac has 4 internal drives). Else, you get into 'triple boot' and the pitfalls and problems.
Technology changes and you can't always go back. Even having a 64-bit processor is only part of the equation.

On rebooting to install windows get message: 1:2: Select CD rom Boot Type:_ and keyboard doesn't work! type

Trying to instal windows again (new hard drive) via bootcamp on my oldish Macbook;
on rebooting to install windows I get a dos screen with the message:
1
2
Select CD rom Boot Type:_
and keyboard doesn't work!
Tried an external keyboard and nothing
Any ideas?

To get the disk out restart while holding down the mouse button. To get back to OS X restart while holding the option key and when the boot screen appears select the volume with OS X.

Can't install OSX Mountain Lion, on the disk selection screen i cant select the Macintosh HD to install OSX giving a message (This disk cannot be used to start up your computer).only have one disk to select and my partition map scheme is GUID partition

just bough OSX Mountain Lion, my laptop operating with v10.6.8. Can't install OSX Mountain Lion, on the disk selection screen i cant select the Macintosh HD to install OSX giving a message (This disk cannot be used to start up your computer).only have one disk to select and my partition map scheme is GUID partition table. 24.44gb disk available.

Verify your computer can run Mountain Lion:
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Open Disk Utility and verify the drive is partitioned using GUID and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled. If it is then do this:
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. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Now try installing Mountain Lion.

Cant select the paper ICC profile in the applications page saet-up or print

Cant select the paper ICC profile in the applications page set-up or printer box.
I loaded a new paper profile into what I thought was the proper places(s) and it showed up in some applications but not in another. Does this mean the application is at fault? Can anyone tell me where the profiles are supposed to be installed?
Thank you in advance.

NAT / cant select my external Ethernet Card (for use with PPPoE)

Hi i'm experiencing difficultys in setting up my server with a public IP adress on my external ethernetcard through PPPoe (xDSL). This setting is described as a sample setup in "ServerAdministrationv10.5.pdf" The following problems com up:
- When i try to settup trough Server Assistant and i come to Network settings both (external (WAN)& internal (LAN)) Ethernetcards show up. As an necessery information there is asked for "PPPoE Servicename" (besides accountname and password). My ISP doesnt require a PPPoE Service name and when i query (?) what is asked for Server Assistant tells me that except i get the information from my ISP i have to leave the field blank. Now, i cant continue with the setup when leaving the field blank . The information is required. When i just supply some information and continue with setup the setup ends with a long pause and an errormessage.
- Second try, after initial clean installation i Setup the server again localy with the default Serverassistant. When asked to post IP-Adress and Subnetmask for the first listed Ethernetcard i just leafe it with DHCP and continue. After initial Setup is complete i try to reconfigure the external (WAN) Ethernetcard with PPPoE. By doing that(in Systemettings / Networksettings) a get something like a new virtual Interface on my External EthernetCard. I enter the necessary information (accountname, password and leave the field for "PPPoE Servicename" blank. I connect to my ISP and get a perfect connection. No problem to brouse the Web or make FTP connection.
Now when i continue to finish the setup of my new leopard-server i'm asked to select the external Ethernetcardin NAT. Unfortunally i have know three Ethernetinterfaces (External with DHCP, External with PPPoE and the internal one for my LAN). The 2 externel EthernetInterfeces have both the same Name (in NAT)
and somehow i cant select the one where i have setup my PPPoE.
Now, i go back to Networksettings and delete the initial Externalcardsetting (leaving with only my working PPPoE setting on the External Ethernetinterface). As the result of this manipulation i cant select the external Ethernetinterface in NAT anymore. Only the internal (LAN) Ethernetinterface shows up.
Can anybody help me with to above discribed Problem? Somehow i have to be able to select my working PPPoE Setting (on my external Ethernetinterface) in NAT.

I have this exact problem on my new Intel Xserve. During setup I configure ethernet 1 with a manual IP address and try to set up ethernet 2 for PPPoE (it will connect to my ISP via the ADSL modem/bridge) but despite the help screen saying do NOT type anything in PPPoE Service Name unless requested to do so by the ISP (they don't), if I leave it blank it complains because that field is empty and returns to the same screen.
This brings the entire installation to a halt. Seems to me like it's a big bug - I cannot see any way around it. Someone please tell me I'm being stupid here and the solution is obvious:-)

ACS 5.3 - 11033 Selected Service type is not Network Access

I have some older devices on the network that only support RADIUS (not TACACS) for authentication and would like to have them use SecureACS 5.3
I understand that by default, ACS only supports TACACS for device administration. So I'll get this error when trying RADIUS:
11033 Selected Service type is not Network Access
Description:
RADIUS requests can only be processed by Access Services that are of type Network Access
Resolution Text:
Verify that the Service Selection Policy rules are correct
However, even after adjusting the Service Selection rules and seeing hits, I still see the same message in the logs, as if it has no affect. Any Ideas?

If you use the protocol as radius you can not use a device admin service. You can only use network access. That will allow you for authentication to the devices.

How do I get PS CS5 to stop freezing when I select the type tool?

Okay, I've read the other threads about photoshop cs5 freezing up for various reasons. I'm running it on os x 10.5.8 on a dual quad 2.8 processor tower. Every time I open PS and select the type tool, my entire computer slows and freezes to the point I have to do a hard restart. I've tried disabling all fonts and the same things happens (though when they're all disabled I do get a text cursor before things hang up). I'm looking for any advice--I spend the entire day today trying to fix this.

Chris, I tried updating and it wouldn't install... Are you not allowed to install updates when you are using the "trial version"?
I sure would like to get this resolved before investing in the actual purchase of CS5. I always get the Master Collection and it's expensive.
So, if I can't install the update and try and find a fix to the issue, I don't think I'd be comfortable purchasing... you know?
That's why I ALWAYS download the trial version first... to see if there are issues before buying!
Anyway... I'll keep my eye on these posts to see if this has been cleared up... then, I'll buy.
But, thanks very much for your help and feedback to my question and concern.
appreciate it!

1. Go to your Mac Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities and open the Disk Utility.
2. Click on and highlight your main Mac Hard Drive in the list on the left.
3. Select Repair Disk Permissions and once this is finished, restart your computer.
Once restarted, please do the following:
1. Open your System Preferences
2. Open Print & Fax (10.7/10.8/10.9 is Print & Scan)
3. Highlight your Epson printer in the Printer List on the left hand side of the window if it is showing in the list. If it is not showing up, continue to step 5
4. Click on the MINUS sign below the Printer List and confirm deletion of the printer
5. Click on the PLUS below the Printer List to re-add the printer
6. Click on and Highlight the Epson Printer in the window and confirm that in the USE field it reads for "EPSON XXXXXX"
7. If it does, click ADD and the printer should show up again in the Printer List and you can try to print again

Selection and Type Tools not working in InDesign CC for Mac

I have just recently downloaded InDesign CC (I use Mac OSX.9.2) and got the World Tools plugin to typeset in different languages.
However, I am having trouble using the selection and type tools. In about the first half of the file, the type tool displays the pointer/dashed box/I-beam icon and doesn't put the cursor in the text when I click on it. I can't click to select text as I should be able to, and if I try to click and drag, all I do is end up creating another text frame. But in about the second half of the file, the selection and type tools work the way they should.
When I click and hold on the type tool, the cursor changes to the crosshairs icon for creating text frames and the "W: H: " dialogue box for text frames appears.
How can I get the tools to work properly in the entire document? Is anyone else having this problem?

@Cindy – usually all 3rd party developers will provide some information for installing and uninstalling their products. First see if you can find some information on their web sites.
Also there should be a dedicated Adobe Extension Manager app where you can look up the installed parts of InDesign. Since I do not have InDesign CC installed, I do not know exactly, but its name should be something like "Adobe Extension Manager CC".
If you start this app it will show all parts installed with InDesign (or other apps that are installed).
Usually at the bottom of the list are the 3rd party installed components. They do not state "Adobe Incoroprate System" as author. Never uninstall (remove) the Adobe ones!
Here a screen grab from my German Adobe Extension Manager CS5:
If you select one, a new option is available at the right. In my case here the "Entfernen" button ("Remove" in English).
