Did you use Boot Camp Assistant?
You should be able to hold down the option key whilst booting in order to select which OS you want to boot into.

What heck is going on?? 5.1 updates on windows, but not on Mac

I tried several times yesterday to update all of the iPhones with my macbook, but had no luck. I tried again tonight and still no luck. I decided to try my daughters laptop and I had no problems updating 3 of my iPhones. I decided to try again with my last iPhone on my macbook and still just shows it's trying to connect to the server. I stopped the process and hooked it up my daughter's laptop and it's updating with no issues as we speak. What's going on with my mac? I even tried to directly download the ipsw 5.1, but I'm unable to downoad anything on my mac? I've checked my internet connections and everything appears to be normal. This makes no sense at all.

Hello, all the documents in all the folders on the desktop have been disappeared. I did not do anything. I did not install or remove anything. Does anyone know the reason?

Hello, all the documents in all the folders have been disappeared. Especially documents on desktop. I have not install or remove anything. Do you know the reason? What should I do?

In order to restore something from Time Machine, the backup must occur before the lose.
A backup after the lose is worthless.
The files are gone now.

I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

Can't sync TO the computer from iPhone so going to lose 30 albums! Help!

I have an old iPhone 4 which I used to sync with my old Acer laptop. The laptop died and I bought a new Macbook Air (love it!). I copied music from the old laptop to the Macbook but for some reason lots of albums didn't copy across. It's mainly albums that I had uploaded from CD. It didn't matter as I only listened to music via the phone but I now have an iPhone 6 and I need to get all these albums on to that. However when I try to sync the iPhone 4 with the macbook it tells me I will lose everything on the iPhone 4 as it will only sync one way i.e. macbook to phone, not phone to macbook.
The problem is that I no longer have the CDs (got rid of them in a house clear out as i thought they were happily on my computer) and the old Acer has died completely so I can't get the albums off there. Therefore they now only exist on the old phone.
I wondered if anyone knows any ways of getting round the syncing problem to get the music off the iPhone 4 and onto the Macbook? Otherwise I'm going to lose around 30 albums!
Thanks so much
Claire C

When you got rid of your CDs you also got rid of the right to have a copy of the music. And, as you can see, there are reasons for keeping the CDs as a backup.
You obviously did not do the correct process to transfer the iTunes library from the old computer to the new one. If you still have the old computer your question would best be addressed from that perspective. If you do not you will have to buy third party software to do a less-than-ideal transfer of non-iTunes purchases from the iPhone before wiping it so it will sync with the new computer.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

My pc is no longer working, am i going to lose all my data that is on my Iphone when i sync with my new computer ?

Good Day, I had Itunes downloaded on my Windows Laptop how ever this laptop has broken down and is not longer repairable. So i am planing to buy a IMac. So my question is all the data on my IPhone, IPad, IPod that i used to snyc with my now broken laytop am I going to lose it all when I sync with Itunes on my new IMac ?
Jankees

If at all possible, copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527). Otherwise, you will lose and music that was not purchased from the iTune store unless you use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer it to your new computer. See this article for how to move to a new computer with minimal or no data loss: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.

My computer had issues and I dumped it. Now I need to sync my iphone. Am I going to lose all my contacts and ringtones?

I was having computer problems and dumped my computer and started over from scratch. I had to download itunes to this comptuer again. But now when I go to sync my iPhone with my computer, it appears that I'm going to lose all the information on my iPhone. How can I keep this from happening? I'm not real computer literate so need simple terminology and directions. I've been trying to search for the answer to my question and I've found some answers, but I need more precise directions. Such as: one answer says to sync to the windows contacts and make sure there is at least one contact in your windows contacts so it will merge rather than wipe out your phone. I don't know where windows contacts is to be found so don't know how to add a contact in it. What about the ringtones I have? It wants to wipe them out too, but I don't want to purchase a new ringtone to have in the ringtone area (where ever that is). Anyone who can guide me in simple language would be a blessing.

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, there are useful links in there even if you don't have a device.

TS2570 My Mac is stuck on grey screen what's wrong with it and am I going to lose everything

My Mac is stuck on grey screen what's wrong with it and am I going to lose everything

Hopefully you have a backup, but...
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

I lost my HOME and REFRESH buttons and don't know why. Since I can't have them anymore please tell me in detail how I get rid of Mozilla Foxfire and let me know what all I'm going to lose in the process. Thanks, Neil

I have used Mozilla Firefox for almost a year and it was good. Now I make on stupid mistake by upgrading to the new version and I lose my Home button, Refresh button and I don't know how many other buttons.
Since I can't have WHAT I USED TO HAVE please explain in detail how I rid of Mozilla Firefox and what I'm all going to lose in the process.

The home icon by default has moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar.
In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload (Refresh) buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons stop/go/reload buttons, or want to move the home button, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
