MacBookPro crashed while running VM Fusion and Vista now, won't boot in OX

Hello All...
I am not sure what to do about my MacBookPro 15.4 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo that I bout in August 09. I was running Vista via VM Fusion in a separate window on my Mac desktop when the computer froze. I booted up and now I only have the option of trying to boot in Windows or try to repair via the Windows installation disc. I want to reboot back into my OSX which it normally does until now.
I tried holding the X key and only the windows partition icon came up...I am using BootCamp and the windows section partitioned per Boot Camp Assistant.
Should I just try to repair what is corrupt in the windows part of it? Why is it only booting in Windows?
I didn't boot up into Windows Vista, I used VMware Fusion to boot up separately so I wonder why is my computer trying to boot up in Windows only?
How do I force the OSX system to boot?
This is what the Windows Boot Manager is telling me:
File: \windows\system32\config\system
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing, or corrupt.
Please help...I want to Boot in OSX, not Windows...
thanks in advance...

Insert the Mac OS X install disk and boot up from it by pressing and holding down the C key. Choose your language and wait for the main menu to load. In the menu bar, go to Utilities --> Disk Utility. Click it and wait for it to open. In the side bar, you should see your hard disks and partitions labelled there. Do you see your "Macintosh HD" partition?

HT5654 iTunes auto update downloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried uninstalling and downloading/installing again to no avail. Any clues?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.

I installed Lion OS X and Logic Pro won't run. I downloaded the 9.1.5 update: "An Eligible Logic Pro Version Was Not Found in the Applications Folder. This Update require Logic Pro Version 9.0 or higher". I have Logic Pro Version 9.1.1 installed.
I even pulled the dmg file into the Logic Studio folder in my applications directory and it still does not recognize it. What do I do now?

Niel: Thanks.
For others benefit, here is what happened.
I had installed Logic Studio 9.1 some time ago.......not knowing what all the programs were nor what they did, I created a "Logic Studio" subfolder in my applications folder and put all Logic Studio programs into it so I'd know where they were and could review each at my leisure over time.
My assumption now is that when the updater looks for the Logic Pro program, it looks only in the applications folder. It seems lame that it would not also look in the subfolders of the applications folder, but that apparently IS the way it works. Because my Logic Pro program was located in the "Logic Studio" subfolder, the updater just didn't see it..hence the error message I received when I tried to update.
Solution: I moved all the Logic Studio programs out of the subfolder and now they reside in the applications folder. Ran the 9.1.5 updater and it worked like a charm.

Safari and mail now won't launch

Hello
I have done something very silly. I run 10.3.9 and downloaded and installed Safari 3 not realising it wasn't compatible. It was allowed to install indicating the install was successful. However Safari and mail now won't launch. Have I lost the apps and is there anything I can do to get them back, particularly mail?

Go to the genius bar. You've mucked up your MBP OS and it requires a hands on repair.

I have an old apple id that I don't use (and I don't remember the password) and it now won't let me log in for updates, how can I delete it

Click here and try resetting that account’s password.
That Apple ID is stored inside each of those applications. If you can’t get back into it, you’ll need to delete and redownload all of them, which may require repurchasing paid ones.

Hi guys I'm really in need of some help. I have an IMac I3 for a while now I've been having a problem of my machine refusing it shut down , it goes to a blue screen with a spinning wheel but doesn't shut down. And now won't boot from install DvD

Please some one help me ...
A) my mac won't shut down with external HD connected (if it's been used)
B) there are disk permissions that can't be fixed SUID stuff ..
C) I have now verified the Mac HD and it tells me it's corrupt in bold red writing and to start up from install DVD
D) it won't boot from DVD so I cannot run the repair , initially the machine was spitting it out on start up , now it appears to be attempting to boot off DVD , well it sounds like it is .... BUT it's hanging with the Mac Logo and a wheel ... For um .... 30min now...
E) weirdly when OSX is booted off the hard drive , it won't recognise the Install DvD or the applications one... It just spits them out....
I had an old PPC 17" and it was a beaut .... Never had a single problem with it ...
I bought this one December 2010 and it's been nothing but issues for a computer in excess of £1000 I'm extremely disappointed ... And weirdly the shutting down issue started when it was a week out of warrantee ... I feel conned and am almost at the point of throwing it at a wall and buying a PC

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

I'm installing my CS6 download, and my Serial# won't work

It tells me that it's a valid serial number but not for any products I have on my system.
I just reinstalled Windows 7 on my laptop and am reinstalling my programs. I'm having all kinds of trouble with the Adobe CS stuff. I have the CS 5.5 DVD and downloaded my CS 6 upgrade, and I have had to install trial versions because the serial number won't work.

If you have trial versions installed, your serial number can be used to convert them to fully activated versions

Installed 10.6.7 and Getting Kernel Panic on Boot

I got the notice to update to 10.6.7 on my 15" 2.66 i7 and when it restarted to install the update, I immediately got a kernel panic. I was able to get it to boot into safe mode and I did a time machine backup. After some research and work..
I ran a 35 pass zero out, and then straight reinstalled OS-X from my discs. I still get the same panic from boot.

Help...
The only thing left that I can think of is that the update fubarred the HDD. I put an aftermarket 640GB drive into it about 3 months ago. I was considering re-installing the factory drive and see what happens. I have tried everything that I could within the OSX restore discs, and nothing seems to help. It seems weird that a 35 pass + restore didn't cure it, if it was software related. Which makes me think firmware/mechanical.
Thoughts?

I think you missed the part where I said:
"I ran a 35 pass zero out, and then straight reinstalled OS-X from my discs. I still get the same panic from boot."
I still had issues after a fresh install. So, I did a 35 pass zero out and re-installed. Same error.
I just finished installing the factory drive, and mysteriously everything works fine now. Either the update corrupted the aftermarket drive, or the update causes the computer to recognize my aftermarket drive and make it "not work". Either way, I am just going to leave the factory drive in it, as I am selling the laptop and getting a newer version.

Firefox crashed and then wouldn't open even in safe mode. I installed Ver 6.1 and still FF won't open.,

Firefox crashed unexpectedly and wouldn't restart. I rebooted and tried both regular start and safemode w/o add-ons and it still won't start. I then upgraded to Ver 6.1 and still won't open in safe mode. I'm using Vista 32 bit.

Iphoto continually quit on MBP and Air, now won't reinstall on Air

I have a MBP and Air with ilife 08 and all the latest apple software updates on each.
For about three weeks iphoto has been shutting down on either computer whenever i email a photo, or download and save a photo from the internet.
Today i removed iphoto from both computers and reinstalled.
After reinstalling my MBP it seemed to work fine, only shutting down once in about 15 emailed photos (as compared to every time previosuly). Thinking all was well (or at least acceptible) I went ahead and installed the three updates from apple via the software updater in system preferences. After i installed the automatic updates and used iphoto again, it shut down every time i emailed a photo. At that point I uninstalled the iphoto and reinstalled it without the latest apple updates. It seems to work fine now.
So, I tried doing the same thing on my air, but now iphoto won't reinstall, even though each time at the end of the process it tells me the install was successful. The first two times I only uninstalled (dragged to trash) iphoto, but the next two times i also dumped garageband, iweb, and idvd. Each time these programs were reinstalled, but not iphoto. When I search on iphoto no results.
Any ideas on how to get iphoto back on my air? I am using remote disk and have never had any previous problems with it, and obviously the other programs reinstalled fine.
Thoughts on why iphoto won't work with the latest apple updates installed?

fishbio:
Before reinstalling iPhoto make sure you've deleted all files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Otherwise the installer will think that iPhoto already exists and doesn't need to install.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Swapping hard drives between PXI-8115 and PXI-8105 won't boot up

I have a test system running Windows XP on PXI-8105. I've upgraded the entire test system for another project and need to upgrade my existing systems; the upgrade runs on Windows 7 and PXI-8115. I have new hard drives with Windows 7 and the new test software which were loaded/configured/tested on a PXI-8115, but I need to retrofit the PXI-8105 with them. This doesn't work. Windows begins to boot but fails and tries over and over again. In an effort to take the PXI-8105 off-line to troubleshoot, I replaced it with one of the PXI-8115 and the old (WinXP) drive. This didn't boot up, either.
Here's a summary of my situation:
An old system has PXI-8105 running WinXP
A new system has PXI -8115 running Win7
A hard drive (with Win7) from the PXI-8115 won't boot on the PXI-8105
A hard drive (with WinXP) from the PXI-8105 won't boot on the PXI-8115
What is different between the two PXI controllers that keeps me from swapping hard drives?

You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are. ~ Alice
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A couple thoughts:
1. Windows 7 probably works fine on a PXI-8105. Although NI never officially supported or shipped that configuration, I suspect that the default Windows 7 installation contains enough of the driver support needed to boot up.
2. In general, Windows is not very tolerant of swapping hard drives between completely different systems, especially with Windows XP and prior. Consider whether just installing fresh and copying over what you need is faster than trying to do this, but if you must, I would suspect that Windows 7 would be more tolerant of the swap.
3. As a debugging step, try pressing 'F8' during the boot process to launch the Windows boot menu and try safe mode or some of the other options. More information here.
4. If all else fails, Google is your friend here as there's nothing particularly specific about this being an NI product that you need to know when attempting this operation. Any information you find online about swapping hard drives between PCs should be relevant to your situation. Searching for 'swap hard drive to new computer windows 7' gave some useful hits on the first page. Beyond that, you can also look into using the 'sysprep' utility to try and clean the system and prepare for swapping to a new PC.
