Hold option at start up only show me mac os but windows
Hi all,
i have installed windows xp on my macbook(the new one with leopard).
and windows work well.
but when i hold option key at start up, it only show me mac os.
i don't know why.how can i make it show me 2 systems(mac and windows) after i hold option key at start up?
I have Win XP on my Boot Camp as well.... I think possibly that the install didn't go 100% correct... did you follow the booklet step by step?
Whenever I hold down the option key both hard drives show up to ask me which on i would like to start up....

Hold Option key at start up only show Mac OS but Windows
Hi all,

i don't know why.how can i make it show me 2 systems(mac and windows) after i hold option key at start up?If I remember correctly, Bootcamp needs an NTFS partition for Windows in order to work correctly. This is the default file system for WindowsXP. The Bootcamp assistant tells you during installation that a FAT32 partition already exists and, curiously, gives you the default selection of leaving this intact. You need to ignore that and format using NTFS. If you don't, then Windows wont boot. To convert to NTFS, you will need to run the assistant again and reinstall Windows.
To overcome the problem of data portability between WinXP and OSX, I use a small 30 gig USB external drive formatted using FAT32 as a bridge between the two. Hope all this is useful? -
How do I stream music from non-iTunes apps to Airport (mac air core-i7 OS 10.7.5 airport firmware 7.6.1 --- option-clicking speaker icon only shows internal speakers - audio streaming works from iTunes just fine.
Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

My iPad air would not start. Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that.
My iPad air would not start. Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that. This is already the 2nd time. Last time I sent back to the service center and they said it is the system problem and reset the system and charge me for the service because they said it is not a hardware problem. It happened less then 30 days and same problem again. Can someone please send me the hard-reset step so I can try myself before I send back to the service center again? thanks
Here's the hard reset info:

Is there anything I should do to the TV or any settings i should do from my actual Macbook? It only shows the space background but not any of my icons or what i am seeing on my laptop screen. It is a new adaptor which was purchased last week.
It seems as though though it may be a connection issue, possibly hardware or adapter. Make certain the connections are TIGHT.
For software you may try a smc reset:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Try a pram reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If no joy you can take it in to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation make an appointment first.

When I start iWeb only the Navi Bar appears but nothing else. What to do?
when I start iWeb only the Navigation Bar appears but nothing else and I can't use the program. I have the latest version and I use iLife11
Try the following:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.
Lastly, select an album in iPhoto and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo Page menu option. It might take a couple of tries.

Cs3 only showing files in the Navigator Window - can't edit?
Hi there!
I have CS3, using Windows 7.
A little over a week ago, I had to re-install cs3 when i could no longer open any files.
Images only show up in the Navigator window and I can see the image's histogram.
However, no image shows in the main window, even after changing display modes, etc.
When I did the re-install, we were back to normal operations, but after about a week and a half
of use, I'm back to the same problem???
I could re-install again, of course, but I'd love to know if there's another solution to this problem.
I'm using a licensed version...purchased by me, from adobe in '07.
Thanks so much for any information! I appreciate any help!
Michellehey bart! thanks for your reply!
i tried that and nothing changed,
but i did check my display settings and somehow was
over on a dual monitor?
i only have one monitor and
i never messed with that setting.
plus, i was able to see images one minute and not the
next, so i'm not sure what's going on with it...
but, i changed to single monitor and it's working again!
if anyone knows why that happened, please lmk.
thanks again! -

I started Boot Camp on a MAC mini but then had a power failure after 30 secs Now when I start Boot Camp the option to install Windows 7 is gone. In it's place is Remove Windows 7. It seems to hang at Partitioning disk How can I recover?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because the Boot Camp volume was created, but your Mac hasn't been set up to start automatically from the Windows disc. Insert the Windows DVD and press C key while your Mac is starting to start Windows installation.
If you want to make sure that everything is correct, open Boot Camp Assistant and choose the option to remove Windows 7. Then, open that application again, select the option to install Windows 7 and you will be able to install Windows as usual -

I attempted to update my iphone 4 from the settings on my phone to the iOS6 operating system. After doing this and the download appeared to be complete, my screen showed the itunes hook up. I hooked up to itunes, it said that my phone needed to be restored. After trying to restore it, itunes says an an error occured and my phone could not be retored. Now itunes won't recognize my phone! My screen now shows the iphone circle, but it isn't moving. I have hit the power and home button and it doesn't seem to work. What now??
Power and home button for at least 10 sec.
