Hiding the osx Partion in Windows

Hello after installing Windows 7 using boot camp I noticed that the mac osx
partition is visible in the windows install.
I am little nervous about this and was wondering if there is any way to hide
this from my windows 7 install?
Thanks

You can't hide the partition from any tool that reads the drive, as the partition is clearly on the drive. You can un-install the Boot Camp driver for the HFS+ file system, then your Windows installation won't be able to read the files on the disk (since the driver is read-only anyway). Is that what you are looking to do?

  • Hiding the Clip/Event Preview Window??

    Upgraded to v10.1 tonight, and this center clip preview window sudenly appeared -- and for the bloody life of me, I cannot figure out how to hide it.
    All I want are the clip window (far left) and the timeline preview (far right). If I scrub the clips, I want them to show in the far right window. If I scrub the timeline, I want it to show in the same, right window.

  • How do I install Mavericks without invoking the OSX Server Plugin?

    How do I perfrom a clean install of Mavericks from the Recovery Partition without it automatically installing, and then invoking or executing the OSX Server Plugin that ultimately results in rendering open directory operable as well as the server.  I have ignored this continously, but the other day I went into the terminal and typed ARP -s that lists the shortname for the host of my MacBook Pro and it gave a totally different name than what I had given it in the wi-fi network interface under the WINS tab. More importantly, I do not want to install open directory nor the osx server plugin as it opens up more complexity than I want to deal with.  Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.  BTW, below are the steps I performed for installing Mavericks.
    1. Powered on the MacBook Pro and then hit the Option key.
    2. This took me into the Recovery Partition, whereby I went into the Disk Util and erased or formatted the hard-drive.
    3. I then clicked out of the Disk Utility and went into the Recovery Mode by clicking on reinstall the current OS.
    4. I went through all the prompts and the system downloaded a current version of Mavericks.
    5. After completion, I turned on my Macbook Pro and went through the prompts to install Mavericks.
    6. This is all I did, and I didn't download the OSX plugin nor invoke it in the new version of the Operating System. 
    I just assumed that it was a standalone version until I found the server for osx running with open directory invoked, the server invoked, along
    with other components relative to a new standalone version.
    Again, my question is simple: How can I reinstall Mavericks without it downloading and automatically
    iinvoking the components as described above? 

    Hi. Because both Mavericks and Windows 8 are still new, they may not be free of error. Apple needs more time to perform more tests to ensure that these two different OS's will work properly without getting in conflicts. If it's posdible, I highly recommand you to downgrade back to Lion or Mountain Lion and install Windows 7 (if you have a copy of it). In my experience, all advises from Genius Bar members and computer articles confirm that  Windows 7 will work on Macs with Lion OS. It should also work on Mountain Lion. Besides Boot Camp, you could try to virtualize Windows OS and its applications by using VirtualBox, CrossOver and other VMs. I already have an Oracle VirtualBox but I would like to try Boot Camp since it allows me to enjoy almost all Windows features that may be limited in VMs.

  • Time machine would back up only the first time after I shut off my imac and started it up again.  Then it would fail or claim it could not locate my external Hard Drive even though it's icon was showing in the time machine dialog window.

    Time machine only ever backed up the first time it runs immediately after I start up my computer after it has been shut off.  All other back up attemps fail.  Recently it stopped recognizing the icon for my external hard drive in the time machine dialog window where you select the hard drive to back up to, and turn on and off the time machine function.  Now the external HD icon only shows up on the desk top but no longer in the dialog box. I just tried shutting the computer off and turning it on again and now the light is on, on the external hard drive but the icon does not even appear on the desk top.
    The external hard drive is a 1TB Seagate. The drive still has plenty of unused capacity.  I ran a diagnostic test on it. It said the disk needed repair but the repair function would not work. The message stated that it could not be unmounted and repair is not available because the disk can't be written to. The Mac OX utility said the disk can still be opened but can't be changed nor repaired.  The external HD is not S.M.A.R.T. supported.
    I haven't tried replacing the cable yet. Is that the next thing I should try?

    What Mac OSX version are your running ("iOS" as shown in your profile cannot run on a Mac computer)?

  • Boot camp does not give me the option to make a partition, instead it just gives me the options to download windows support software, install windows 7, etc. I do not want any of these, I want to set aside the space on my hard drive!

    Hello, I wish to install Linux Ubuntu on my macbook pro by using boot camp to set aside space. Whenever I load the Boot Camp Assistant application out of the utilities folder in applications, it only gives me the options to download windows support software and install windows 7. I do not want this, I just want to be able to slide that little bar to set aside the space on my hard drive that i can use for Linux. I tried just downloading the windows support software but my internet is immensely slow and it has been an hour or so since it started and it's not even half way done. When this download is finished will i get the option to partition or will i just be faced with those same options?
    I am on a 13" macbook pro, with apple OS X snow leopard version 10.7.2
    A lot of the data on this macbook was transferred over from my old macbook i had.
    Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
    Thank you for reading.

    Well thank you for your honesty.  Apple requires you have to have a Mac to develop iPhone apps, ergo my foray into OS-Xland. No way around it that one except for running OSX in a VM, which would have probably saved me some quid, true enough.
    BUT for those interested parties: VirtualBox has a startup script in /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox that will prevent OSX from fully booting on the initial (and required) rEFIt boot cycle. Once I temporarily moved that out of the StartupItems rEFIt went in as expected.
    FYI, the openSUSE desktop running native is a little peppier than OSX native which was a nice surprise.  Now if the Mac just had more open source software we would have a deal. (:

  • Can't do factory restore & only disks that keep ejecting are the osx install and apps disks

    First of all let me say, this is my first Apple computer and I'm not experienced in forums. Please do not read rudeness into what is actually frustration at searching forever for a solution and trying not to wish I had been talked into an Apple.  With that said....
    I've had my iMac for about a year and a half.  We had lost our internet and were using a hotspot for awhile so we could look for another provider and get online if we needed to.  One day I signed on and, we didn't have an isp mind you, but the browser opened up to the dominant isp in this area saying a virus was detected coming from this iMac address? I thought that was strange and panicked so decided to do what I would on a pc, just restore the whole thing to factory settings.  Everything was going smooth, (my updates were at 10.6.8 at the time)... when I restored I was back at 10.6.2. (osx disk) I was doing systems updates and one apparently hung.... when told to restart, I did... but the computer would never boot back up.  It would turn on.... go to gray screen... then blue screen... then shut off.  I couldn't boot in safe mode, pram reset did nothing, smc reset did nothing, couldn't hold 'd' to get to diagnostics, couldn't boot to recovery... it kept spitting out disks after trying to read them... with all those solutions I found online and nothing helping I had to call Apple... they couldn't help over the phone because Apple Care expired, unless I purchased help... this frustrated me because every where I found my problem and a different solution their Apple Care had expired too.... so had to set an appt at an Apple store.
    So took it in to Apple, just got it back yesterday.  I let them know I was restoring to factory settings so wasn't worried about losing anything.  When I picked it up, I was told no charge... it was a software issue they saw where it hung and fixed it.  I tried to ask questions about the 'software repair' but they didn't seem to want to answer my questions.  It just says 'software repair' on my order. So I asked 'okay, so it's back to factory settings like when I bought it?' I was told yes and I said great that was my goal anyway.  I get home and it's NOT like when I first purchased it or like a factory restore.  Everything I was doing before it crashed is on there. So I'm back to trying to do a factory restore.  But for some reason now, it seems the only disks that keep self ejecting are the osx install and application disks. I still can't do a boot recovery, AHT, or 'c' boot... since the apple disks eject I can't use start up to get to them. 
    I find it odd that both the oxc install disk and applications disk would be damaged at the same time when they both previously worked.  I called the Apple Store where I took it to talk to the geniuses that worked on it because I had a question about the repair they did....
    Apple: I'm sorry we don't offer tech support
    Me: I understand but I had a question about the repair done from there the other day
    Apple: We are just a store and can't answer tech questions
    Me: I understand and get that but since I took my mac to your store to be worked on I thought I could ask the person that worked on it a question about the 'software repair' and meaning and what software was repaired
    Apple: No you will have to set another apt to bring your computer in if you are still having problems
    Me: UGHHHHHH (pulling hair out)
    So (a little late huh?) to make a long story short giving what I stated above:
    Why is it, only the osx install and application disks not working now? They worked before taking it to Apple
    What can I do at this point?
    Can you do a factory restore without disks on a Mac?
    If by chance both disk did for some reason go out, how do I get them replaced?
    If I gave TMI without enough important info let me know.
    My OS X install disk says version 10.6.2 on it
    About this Mac currently says Mac OS X version 10.6.8
    Batteries died on keyboard and mouse so am using usb wired keyboard and mouse
    At some point I had used bootcamp and then later found parallels so I could install a Corel product and keep using... could some windows files be messing something up in there somewhere?
    It used to say Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 and I could have sworn I saw it said 'snow leopard' in there somewhere, now I can't even find that word in search on the computer. Long post I know but trying to set what was going on at the time I took it in.
    I'm not sure what else needs to be added to get this to the correct thread or help.  As I stated my goal is to have it like I just pulled it out of the box for the first time so no solution will scare me off about loss of data. 
    Thanks for any help.

    Wow, sorry to hear of your experience. Seems strange that your disk would just eject like they did. It could be a lot of things but more than likely you just kind of have to start all over.
    What I would do is insert your system disk and instead of going immediately to an install I would go to disk utility and erase the drive. That will erase everything on the disk and give you a new blank disk to start with. After that I would try to reinstall the system. Assuming that goes well then you should be restored to where it was when you purchased it. After that you can reinstall all your applications or personal files. I hope you have good backups.
    I remember one time I was having a similar problem and don't ask my why I did it but I actually could not get it to install a system. I removed both of my ram sticks, shut the computer down for about 10 minutes including unplugging it from the wall plug, then reinstalled the ram, plugged it back in and started up from the system disk and all worked just fine. To this day I have no idea if pulling the ram helped but I have never had to do it since and for some dumb reason that solved the problem I was having, which is the same problem you are having now. Call it voodoo but it worked.
    Good Luck!!

  • Tutorial - How to triple boot OSX, Linux and Windows 8.1 with a shared Data Partition without any third party Win / OSX softwares

    This is not a question, but rather a personal guide that has proved to be running successfully.
    I would like to thank numerous sources, including Christopher Murphy's suggestions at:
    Re: Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition
    Before proceeding, there are certain concepts needs to know:
    Why Boot Camp does NOT allow further partitioning of drives after Windows has installed?
    Answer: Because the way Apple configures the Mac to be recognized as non UEFI capable system on Windows.
    Quote from Christopher Murphy based on the above line:
    However, Windows on Macs right now use CSM-BIOS mode in Mac firmware that presents BIOS to Windows rather than EFI. Windows thinks it's on a BIOS computer, and therefore mandates the use of MBR for boot disks, rather than GPT. So that's why we have this hybrid MBR+GPT approach on Mac with Windows on it. You inherit the limitations of MBR, which is four primary partitions.
    So what does it means?
    It means that OSX + EFI + Recovery HD + Boot Camp partition = 4 primary partitions and thus any attempt to modify the disk will render booting issues of either system.
    For more info on GPT (GUID Partition Table disks VS Master Boot Record or MBR in short, you may visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.a spx)
    So, how to overcome it?
    The general guideline is to install ALL GPT ready OS first then create a Data partition, before installing Windows (Which is again, NOT supported GPT due to EFI configuration by Apple where end-users are not able to modify it).
    Interestingly, since Mac Pro 2013 Late supports only Windows 8 and above, thus it is not known if this CSM-BIOS applies to it or not.
    Do take note that GPT disks in Windows can only be booted when the system meets the 2 requirements:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.a spx#gpt_faq_win7_boot
    1) Windows x64 version (Which is a must for newer Macs. If you cannot go to Boot Camp 5, then you need Windows 7 x86 or 32bit version)
    2) UEFI system. However, Windows sees all Macs (With the possibility of Mac Pro 2013 Late is an exception. To be determined) as BIOS, or rather NON-UEFI system.
    In short, booting on GPT disks is not possible for Mac in Windows.
    Summary,
    It is tested that a combination of the following will not work:
    - OSX + Windows + Linux
    - Windows + OSX + Linux
    - Windows + Linux + OSX
    Usually it can create the system un-bootable or OSX refused to install due to the system does not recognize such partitions and / or Disk Utility refused to format a free space. An example screen-shot is provided below:
    The error message is shown as
    Title: "Failed to erase volume" Message: "Failed to wipe volume, as an error occurred: MediaKit has reported that the device does not have enough free space to execute the requested operations."
    The second thing is about the preparations we need.
    1) 1X Windows 7 or 8 DVD or USB thumbdrive
    1A) If you uses a DVD to install, you will need another thumbdrive to load the BootCamp drivers for Windows as well as may requires an external DVD drive for newer Macs
    2) 1X Linux DVD of your choice. Personally I choose Fedora 20.
    So ready? Let's go.
    1. Using Disk Utility, shrink the OSX's partition size to what is needed. For me, I give OSX 150GB. Do NOT create any new partition.
    Disk Utility should see something like below whereby only OSX partition is left with desired disk space. The remaining space are to be unused disk space for the moment.
    Note: Click on the top most item that should start with the size of your HDD / SSD. Then clicked on "Partition" and specify the desired OSX size. Hit "Apply" after that.
    2: Download Boot Camp drivers only via Boot Camp Assistant. The USB thumbdrive shall be used later after Linux's installation.
    Boot Camp Assistant should see this:
    I have only selected "Download latest Windows Support Files from Apple"
    3. Insert Linux DVD, reboot Mac into EFI mode (The left most first "EFI mode").
    Note 1: Before rebooting, please plugged in an Ethernet adapter because Wi-Fi drivers is not installed.
    Note 2: For Thunderbolt adapters, it must be plugged in before reboot as hot-swapping is not supported under Linux. More on the tips at the end of this article.
    Note 3: Press and hold "Option" after the screen turns black. Release Option key after you see the image as below:

    For the unfortunate part that did not make it on time to edit the images:
    9. Install the Windows Support software from your CD/USB drive to gain full functionality of your computer. Reboot and go to Windows again.
    Note 1: You may choose to eject disc at this point of time. For Apple SuperDrive users, you will need to wait until the drivers (i.e. Boot Camp support files) is installed and rebooted before ejecting is reasonably possible (As I failed to figured out how to right click without the drivers)
    Note 2: Unlike Windows 7 on KBase article TS4599 Keyboard/trackpad inoperative, black screen, or alert messages when installing Windows 7, USB stick can be plugged in after the Windows installation is done. This is because Windows 7 (And probably Windows 7 with SP1 DVD) does not have a built in USB 3 drivers when it was released back in 2009 where USB3 has not arrived then.
    Note 3: Due to TPM, Bitlocker is not supported without the use of thumbdrives.
    10. Using Disk Management to determine the given drive letter for the DATA partition (DO NOT DELETE and RECREATE partition or else you can goodbye to booting Linux and OSX). Disk Management will not allow you to format it as exFAT / FAT32 in graphical way.
    Note: You may remove or modify some of the disk letters in Disk Management. However, do NOT remove / modfify the drive letter for the partition with 200MB size in HFS. This is because it will disallow booting of Linux and neither could Windows nor OSX can do anything EXCEPT to reinstall Linux only.
    11. Open Command Prompt in Administrator Mode (Important!!), and key in the following command:
    format F: /FS:exFAT
    Give this volume a label after it has successfully formatted before hitting "Enter" again.
    Note: Mine Data partition was assigned as F drive. Please make necessary adjustment to "F:" should your Data partition is assigned to other letters.
    12. After that, Setup your Data partition structure as you like.
    Tip: Minimally create the important folders such as:
    - Music
    - Documents
    - Movie (Videos)
    - Downloads
    - Pictures
    All these folders are commonly used by the 3 OSes. I do NOT recommend changing of /home (OSX and / or Linux) and / or user home directory (Windows) either partially or as a whole.
    This is because of compatibility issue.
    On a side note, iTunes Media Library used in OSX and Windows are NOT able to be use interchangably due to hard-coded path used.
    13. Useful troubleshooting in Fedora / Linux:
    With references to these:
    http://chaidarun.com/fedora-mbp
    http://anderson.the-silvas.com/2014/02/14/fedora-20-on-a-macbook-pro-13-late-201 3-retina-display/
    http://unencumberedbyfacts.com/2013/08/16/linux-on-a-macbook-pro-101/
    I would like to highlight a few important points:
    1) Wi-Fi driver:
    http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
    Note 1: The sound driver should be installed at Out of Box Experience. However, the Wi-Fi is not.
    Note 2: Install both free and non-free repository. By the way, some other software like VLC can only be found after the Free Repository is installed.
    Search for "akmod-wl" in Gnome-Package-Installer in order to install Wi-Fi drivers
    Note 3: For those who do not have Ethernet adapters and their Mac does NOT have a built-in Ethernet port, it is recommended to get one. This is because Fedora 20 does not have a good support for iPhone USB tethering. Unsure for Andriod / Blackberry / Windows Phone users.
    2) Grub Menu:
    It will show several options to boot into OSX, even of the capability to boot into x86 or x64 mode. However, neither of them is bootable except Linux and the rescue.
    Hence, it is recommended to remove the items by hand in this file:
    /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
    Command to be used:
    "sudo gedit /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg"
    Parts to be removed:
    - For any extra kernels, delete the target entry by locating the line "menuentry" under "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" sector to one line above the next "menuentry".
    It is recommended to keep one main kernel, and one recovery at the minimal.
    - For other OS, delete all the entry (Since neither it can works) under "/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" sector without removing the lines starts with ###.
    Auto Mount exFAT partition:
    - After installing extra packages for exFAT support (Since it is not supported by Fedora 20 from a default installation), you may wish to edit "/etc/fstab" in order to mount the exFAT partition during boot time.
    Command to be used:
    "sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
    Add the following line in gedit:
    UUID=702D-912D /run/media/Samuel/DATA                   exfat    defaults        1 2
    Note 1: For DATA partition, OSX & Boot Camp partition, Fedora defaults mounts under: "/run/medua/<Username with case sensitive>/<Partition Label Name>"
    Note 2: UUID is unique ID. You can find out the UUID by:
    Step 1: First determine the DATA partition number:
    "sudo gdisk /dev/sda"
    Step 2: Determine the UUID of this partition number:
    "sudo blkid /dev/sda8"
    Reference 1: http://manpages.courier-mta.org/htmlman5/fstab.5.html
    Reference 2: http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/short-tip-get-uuid-of-hard-disks/
    3) Overheating CPU
    Solution is to issue the following command in Linux terminal: su -c "echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo"
    4) System resumes immediately after suspend
    Solution is to issue the following command in Linux terminal: su -c "echo XHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup"
    5) What does not works well out of box:
    - Both GNOME and KDE's fonts are too small to be readable for out of box experience. Additional configuration is a need. (Some of the info can be found on "More Tips" later)
    - Thunderbolt hotplugging is NOT supported under Windows and Linux so far. Neither FaceTime HD camera works as well.
    - The red light in Headphone jack is always on. I do not have luck in switching off the light without losing the sound.
    Note 1: It is determined that the module "snd_hda_intel" is used by both cards (HDMI and normal output)
    Note 2: It is also known that blacklisting it can switch off the redlight at the price of muting the system.
    Note: Based on this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1574
    A Mac (Except Mac Pro) needs servicing when there is a red light while the system fails to detect internal speakers. However, this article does NOT applies to this issue.
    5A) More Tips:
    Install gnome-tweak-tool for more customization
    Search for: "gnome-package" to install:
    Install Gnome Package Installer for advanced package repository
    Install Gnome Package Updater for advanced updates to be install (Whereby Fedora's App Store alike might not show the relevant updates)
    14. Verify if disk is still GPT:
    Use Gdisk to determine if the disk is pure GPT:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742682
    Command: sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda (The entire hard drive)
    You should see the MBR is "Protective" instead of anything else.
    15. Congrats, the system is ready for triple boot. (I forgot to eject my Windows DVD when the photo was taken)
    Note 1: You cannot set the default startup disk in Linux due to the lack of Boot Camp Control Panel in Linux.
    Neither is changing startup disk recommended in Windows due to the inability to display correctly.
    For me, I click "Cancel" whenever I am on this tab (Feel free to make other Boot Camp adjustments in other tabs).
    Only OSX I know that can show the startup disk options correctly.
    Note 2: For some reason, OSX likes to auto mount the EFI partition everytime it boots up. It is not known to have any issue for ejecting other disks or mounting disks via Disk Utility.
    Note 3: It is not determined if any Firmware or System upgrades will cause issues. It is only known that all 3 OS's regular updates should not be an issue.
    System Updates excludes Mac OSX 10.9.3 updates to OSX 10.9.4 type as I had done it on a OSX 10.9.4 Mac or Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Update 1 since my Windows DVD comes with Update 1.
    System Upgrades refers to OSX Mavericks to Yosemite, Fedora 20 to Fedora 21, Windows 8.1 Update 1 to Windows 8.2 / Windows 9 for that matter.
    Note 4: Reset SMC and / or PRAM will NOT affect your ability to boot any of the OS (OSX, Recovery HD, Fedora & Windows 8)
    Yup, that is it!

  • Dreamweaver 8 - Issue saving to Mac partion from Windows

    I just bought an Intel Mac, which I'm running Windows on
    using Bootcamp (as all my Adobe software is for Windows). I use a
    software called MacDrive, so when I'm working in Windows I can
    access files saved on the Mac partion. But I'm having issues saving
    files in Dreamweaver to the Mac partion. Everything appears to save
    correctly, until I go back and open the file, and see that the end
    of the file will have leftover data in it from the previous save.
    For example, if I remove two lines of code from an HTML file, then
    when I re-open the file, I'll have a duplicate set of
    </body></html> tags leftover from the previous version
    of the file. I do not have this problem when editing and saving
    files to the Mac partion using Notepad or any other Windows
    program, only Dreamweaver.
    Has anyone here had a similar problem? If so, were you able
    to fix it somehow? If not, would you be willing to help me contact
    Adobe to get this issue solved? Thank you for your time.

    Don't want to hijack the thread, but since you mentioned a
    cross-grade I
    have a question. I will be making the move from being PC
    based to MAC based
    in the next 6 months. Since I will be replacing my aging dell
    laptop with
    an imac pro, my next desktop purchase will be mac as well
    With the current CS3 I will just be running in parralels, but
    I asked about
    when cs4 comes around if I could just upgrade to the mac

    told by a cs rep that this is not possible I would have to
    purchase a fresh

  • Is there any way to expand both the OSX and Bootcamp partitions after imaging the drive to a larger HDD?

    Hey all.  I have been searching forums and racking my brain to find a way to fix an issue I am having with my Late 2011 13" MBP.  SInce I wasn't able to find an answer, I figured it was time for reach out to the community.
    I purchased a Late 2011 13" Core i5 MBP that had a bad HDD from a friend.  I replaced the HDD with an old 100GB SATA drive I had lying around.  My mistake was thinking that it was a 1TB drive.  Regardless, I was able to reinstall Lion to the new HDD and get the machine up and running.  Once that was working, I went ahead and upgraded to Mountain Lion with no issues, then I unstalled Boot Camp and Windows 8.  Everything installed without a hitch and was working great.  Right about that time I realized that I had almost no free hard drive space and discovered my error (the 100GB HDD).
    I pulled the HDD and put in in my ASUS G74SX laptop along with a Seagate 750GB Hybrid Drive and used Clonezilla to do a hardware-to-hardware clone of the drive.  When it was completed, I put the 750GB Hybrid drive in the MBP and it booted right up with no problems.  I was also able to switch back and forth from my Boot Camp drive and everything appears to be working as it should.
    The only problem I have is that both the OSX partition and the Boot Camp partition are still the same size as they were before I cloned the drive.  Try as I might, I can't find any way to expand either one to use the additional 650GB of space that is sitting on the drive unused.  Disk Utility won't allow me to expand the partitions unless the free space is contiguous with the drives.
    Does anyone know of a utility that I can use to fix my problem?  I really don't want to reload everything from scratch.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    You need to combine the libraries on one computer. Otherwise you'll be constantly erasing your iTunes content as you switch computers. iPhone will only sync or manually manage iTunes content with ONE computer at a time.

  • Printer connected to Airport Express only works on OSX Partition, not Windows 7 Partition

    I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro, 13 inch with 2.9ghz processor and 8GB RAM that has a Boot Camp partition on it running Windows 7 Professional. I have had an Airport Express base station that I purchased in 2013, and have a printer connected to it, a HP Laserjet 1102w which is plugged into the Airport. When I am on the OSX partition, the wireless printing works perfectly, however, on the Windows partition, it will not 'find' the printer under a list of available printers. This is annoying as I primarily use Windows and have to restart my computer every time I need to print something. Is there any way to fix this?

    You might want to take a look at Printopia to see if it will do what you want. There is a free trial, so you will know for sure before you buy.
    The upside with Printopia is that printing from the iPhone will work just as if you had an AirPrint printer.
    The downside with Printopia is that you must have a Mac running on the network to be able to print.
    Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
    I have no interest in Printopia other than that as a customer.

  • I get the blue screen whenever I try to install the bootcamp drivers in windows 7

    I just recently installed windows 7 home on my 2011 imac useing bootcamp.
    Everything seemed to install fine however whenever I try to run the bootcamp drivers in windows to get my mouse and wifi and all that to work I get a blue screened.
    Any Ideas?
    Ive followed the exact instructions from the manual for OSX and nothing seems to work.

    Question: Does the Windows disk that you are using have SP2 (Service Pack 2)? In other words, is your version of Windows a FULL version (and not an upgrade version) of XPSP2 Home Edition?
    Having SP2 is a requirement to have XP installed on an intel Mac.
    If you already have the right version then I am not sure what exactly the issue may be.

  • Disk repair failed after using osx with hibernated windows/bootcamp with macdrive

    hi,
    i just realized i did something really,really stupid.
    I forgot I just closed the lid of my MBP the last time I used windows/bootcamp (instead of shutting it down) and that triggered hibernation.
    The next time I powered my MBP on, OSX startet automatically and I opened some of the same files that "were already open" in the hibernated windows (on osx main/boot partition, using macdrive in windows).
    That (or resuming the hibernated windows later) probably led to some data corruption that prevents the osx volume from booting and neither the automatical repairing during booting nor disk utility (external hdd or recovery partition) is able to repair it. (not sure if there is any difference).
    Booting in verbose mode shows the file names that were double-opened during repair attempts.
    After booting osx from an external HDD, Disk utility fails mounting the main osx volume straight away, but succeeds with mounting it after a failed repair attempt.
    I only have read acces then, though.
    bootcamp partition is still working fine, btw
    1. I wonder if it is possible to gain write access somehow and if deleting just those "double-opened" files/the containing folder (which is saved on dropbox btw, so I really wouldnt mind deleting them/it) would solve the whole problem or if i really have to reformat everything and spend 10+ hours to revert everything to the state before the data corruption. ?
    2. if I have to reformat + reinstall, using migration assistant and the corrupted volume as source isn't a great idea, i guess? are there any options to exclude some specific folders of the user folders?
    3. will the bootcamp partition work after reinstalling osx or do i have to winclone-it somewhere? checkdisk says the volume is OK btw.
    many thanks!

    Hi 3tc, thnx for a tip.
    One more question - did procedure solve also "file already in use" problem on win bootcamp?
    thnx
