Get to windows 7 from mac os x lion

I have downloaded and installed boot camp and windows 7. It worked earlier, and i have a program for my college programming class, then i switched the main boot to mac again. After that i can not get back to windows 7. i've restarted quite a few times and it still has not worked. i have held the option key down and that does not work. PLEASE HELPP!!

Zap the PRAM then.
Set the startup default to Windows
Hold the mouse down instead of the Option/Alt key.
BT and wireless keyboards are harder to get the boot manager screen, and the time when to hit Alt key.

Anyone unable to print from Mac Pro using lion 10.7.2 to HP LaserJet M1319f mfp

Windows has a software updater built into Windows and when you install the Boot Camp drivers then it will install an Apple software updater also. I believe Windows is set to automatically download and install your updates as does the Apple software Updater. They both will update the individual files it needs to periodically.
"Microsoft updates" and "Windows updates" are basically the same thing in Windows. Are you talking about the "Windows support software" when downloading from Boot Camp Assistant? Apple installs a software updater for it's Boot Camp drivers in Windows 7 so you can do it manually or automatically.
The "Hot Fix" your referring to is only for certain motherboards built from other Windows only computer manufacturers and does NOT pertain to any Apple computers.
If you have a problem with your computer then it's best to ask a specific question so we can help better.

How do I downgrade from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 for my wife , me and my office

how do I downgrade from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 for my wife , me and my office

You cannot downgrade a machine that shipped with 10.7 installed. Such a machine can only run 10.7 or later. As for the older machines, you would need to use the old Mac OS X install disks to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system.
I don't really understand the issue regarding minimizing windows. If the difficulty is that you want to use the green "+" button in the iTunes window's title bar to resize the window rather than toggling between the full window and the simplified window with only play controls, that is not unique to Lion. That has behaved the same way for some time. Try option-clicking on the "+" button.

Is it wise to update from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 to Maverick?

Is it wise to update from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 to Maverick?

Many millions have but read up on Mavericks and see if it suits you. We have no idea on your work practices, type of computer, etc. it's a personal choice and asking such a general question in a troubleshooting forum will not get you many positive replies. Google Mavericks OSXS and decide for yourself

yes you need the updates and patches.
Only some of the drivers that Windows will automatically install at times
and always make sure to insure it is using restore points
do all the maintenance andsuch as normal
use MS Security Essentials for AV is really top notch
Clean disk space
Use WinClone new program to inisure you have a restore image

lower your font size unless you have difficulty
MS Security Essentials is excellent
Then again maybe time to investigate Windows 8 RP (which uses Defender)

Upgrade to os x mavericks from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)

I have been trying to upgrade to os x mavericks from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) and I meet the requirements but it will download and then pop up with the application could not be downloaded Hash mismatch

Keep trying since that sounds like a server error. Be sure to do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Repair
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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

How to boot to Windows XP from Mac Desktop

Hi
I have just installed Lepard/BootCamp/Windows XP and am wondering how to get to Windows from Mac when I'm logged on to Mac. I can access it via System Preferences but end up resetting my start up preferences to Windows in order to reboot from there. When I installed Windows it put a folder on my Mac Desktop that has the windows info -- does anyone know how to quickly reboot to Windows? On the XP side, there is a boot camp icon in system tray that allows you to choose to boot over to Mac from there. But not on the Mac side. Apple Tech Support told me there must be an easier way than going through the Sys Pref startup options but he was unable to find it. Suggested I try here. Any hep appreciated!

I know about the Option key ... when I power on the computer and hold that down, it gives me the option to choose one OS or the other, instead of going to the one I've set in Sys Pref startup ...
My question is when I have the Mac OS running and want to go to Windows ... the only way I seem to be able to do it is go back into Sys Pref and change the startup OS to windows. It will then give me the option to restart and go there right now, which will get me into Windows but at the cost of resetting the preferred startup OS.
On the Windows side there is the option to set the start up OS as well, so maybe that's the key? I wondered why you would need to set it on both sides, or have the ability. Maybe that's it! There has to be a better way to go from Mac to Windows than via the Sys Pref option.

Can see Windows PCs from Mac, but can't see (and access) Mac from PCs

Yesterday, I ran into a strange problem which I'm not able to figure out.
I share an office with some engineers, who have their computer environment (server, network), all running Windows (XP and Vista on the PCs, Windows 2003 for the server).
Within that environment, I have 2 PCs (both XP) and an iBook G4 (Leopard 10.5.4.). I have also a printer (Epson Laser), which is connected to the office network, and an Airport Extreme Base Station.
Until last week, I could connect from my PCs to my iBook (wirelessly), and from the iBook I could connect to my PCs, the server, and via the server print on my printer (again, all wirelessly).
Over the weekend, I took out the Airport Extreme Base Station (to help with an issue at home - see my thread over at Printing), and yesterday I brought it back to the office and installed it again.
And since I re-installed the Base Station, this is the problem:
1. from PCs, I can't see the iBook (can't attach a PC drive letter - eg. I:\), and therefore can't access it
2. from the iBook, I can't print to my printer - furthermore, when I select the Printing preference and click "Add Printer", no printers whatsoever show up (the list stays blank), whereas before the engineers' printer (some Minolta Bizhub with Bonjour) would show up as well
3. I can, however, access the Windows server from my iBook
Any ideas what's going on? I tried to solve this, but gave up quickly (no way I can possibly figure this out), plus I have this issue at home (can't print wirelessly to a printer attached via USB to a Time Capsule - I can, however, print to the same printer if I attach it to the previously used Airport Express!) - 2 problems and mounting headaches!
I am thinking about re-installing the whole system (take off all data, do a complete wipe and start afresh…), but don't like to spend a whole day doing this…
Again, thanks for any advice!
Jan

You only need one computer to configure the Base Station - and since you can easily do this from your PC, you really don't need to be able to do it from your Mac as well. I suggest you stop worrying about this, leave your Base Station running with the current firmware version, and use your PC if you ever need to make a configuration change.
Note that NO Base Station software needs to be installed on the Mac, for the Mac to be able to connect wirelessly to the Base Station. If your Mac is currently unable to establish a wireless connection to the Base Station, you have a different problem - and one that won't be solved by installing the Airport Admin Utility or downgrading firmware on the Base Station. Incidentally - what type of wireless security are you using on the Base Station - WEP or WPA? A base station configured to use WPA security will only be accessible by a Mac running at least MacOS 10.3.

Sharing Scanner from Mac Os X Lion to Windows

Is there a way to share a Scanner from my Mac OS X Lion Server to a Windows 7 PC?
I know that there's no official support to do this, but perhaps someone in the forums have done it already with some third-party software.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Insert the disc in the drive and reboot. After the chime hold down the Option key for a one time boot menu. If after that screen comes up you don't see the Superdrive and or Snow Leopard DVD as a boot option then the SD is bad and need to be replaced. You could then go to another Mac and create a USB install thumb drive of Snow Leopard and use that to do the reinstall.
But you do not have to repost this same question over and over again in different threads.

Connecting to Windows computer from Mac

So here is my issue:
I can connect to my Mac from my PC, but not the other way around.
Both of my machines have internet, and my mac is on a wireless connection.
I want to know how I can access the files from my Windows machine from my Mac.
This is what ive tried so far, and every time I enter in the address it tells me I have entered in a wrong user name or password when I have not had the change to enter anything in!
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1164.html
Am I dealing with an OS X problem here or am I dealing with an XP problem? Wherever the issue is coming from, is it fixable?

Might be both... OSX will/can send past passwords & such before asking, but this site should fix you up. Also might need to ensure they are both the same Workgroup.
Is that smb://+ the IP you're entering?

How Do I transfer my .daa file to Windows bootcamp from mac bootcamp

Hi, there is no way to open .daa files in mac. The only way is to do it trough windows, it wont let me transfer anything to the widows portion of my system, also on my enclosure's portion of windows. Is there any way to let me have privileages to drop off files in windows for the mac partition of my computer?

Hi,
I am supposing, that both of your Windows partitions use the NTFS file system, which OSX can only read but not write.
The easiest way is to use an USB Memory Stick of appropriate size for file transfers.
