How can I change start up disks?

The hard drive on my laptop is partitioned with 2 different operating Systems. There seems to be difficulty with the preferences of one of the systems and I anm unable to boot from the other partition. I believe there is a shortcut at start up but I don't remember.

It's Option.

    Go to System Preferences / Accounts - Login Items.

  • HT5313 How can i change my hard disk up to 250 GB or 500 GB ?

    Can i change my hard disk up to 200 GB or 500 GB ? if i can,how should i do ?

    Clone backup current drive to an external disk (SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner). The external disk should be a FireWire drive so you can boot it (I believe the White MacBooks only booted external FireWire drives). You should test booting the cloned external before continuing.  Or you could clone the current MacBook drive to the new replacement drive, which could be done via USB or FireWire.
    If I recall correctly, remove the battery, remove a metal shield, pull out the current drive, remove the bracket, attach bracket to new drive, slide new drive back in, put metal shield back on, put battery back in.
    If you cloned directly to new replacement drive, boot up your MacBook and enjoy.
    If you cloned to an external FireWire, boot the external cloned FireWire drive,  and clone it back to the new replacement drive.
    If you consider your data valuable, have yet another backup to a different drive before starting just to be safe.
    There should be YouTube videos that will show you how to do this, or search MacSales.com for how to videos.

  • How can I change my TM disk in TC to a external HD?

    I have a 1 TB time capsule and was used as time machine backup. But now as my iMac is running out of space, how can I change the disk in TC to be an external hard drive?
    Plus, I want to set up the drive in the TC be use via wireless, like a share network drive. Is that possible?

    how can I change the disk in TC to be an external hard drive?
    Technically, you can't.
    An external hard drive is defined as a drive that is attached directly to a computer by USB or FireWire connection.
    The TC does neither of these things. It is a network drive that connects to the network via an Ethernet or wireless connection.
    I want to set up the drive in the TC be use via wireless, like a share network drive. Is that possible?
    Yes. I'm not recommending that you do this, but if you have another wireless router that is providing a wireless network, you can configure the TC using AirPort Utility to "join a wireless network".
    In effect, the TC becomes a wireless hard drive in this type of setup. The Ethernet ports are not enabled in this type of configuration, so you cannot connect via Ethernet for a faster wired connection.

  • How can I change my scratch disk?

    I used to use FCE and always used a scratch disk, i.e., an external hard drive for the actual footage so it wouldn't clog up my computer's drive.
    I've been looking for a way to do this in iMovie '09, but can't figure out how. 
    Anybody know how to do this?

    Your external rive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). If not, you can reformat using Disk Utiltity.
    On the iMovie Import Screen, you can select an external drive as the target for the import. This will remain the default place for importing events until you change it.
    For Events that you have already imported, you can move them to an external drive. This must be done from within iMovie, so you do not break the links to the projects.
    In iMovie, click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. You should now see your Event Library with small icons for available external disks. Hold down the Command Key as you drag the Event icon to the icon for the external drive in the Event Library List. (If you do not hold down the Command key, it will Copy, not Move).
    I also suggest you look in Help at the Consolidate Media command. This is a good way to put all Project assets into the same external drive.

  • How can i clean start up disk

    can you tell me how to make space on my mac air

    Start by adding an extenal hard drive where you can store bulk material...there are a lot of good ones at OWC, http://www.macsales.com
    Move your photos, music and videos to libraries you create for things like iTunes and iPhoto to use on the external drive.  Then clear out that space on the internal storage.  Be cautious about what you delete from the internal storage, stay far away from all of the Mac OS X system folders.

    Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod yet?

    This should take you out of disk mode and allow the iPod to boot up as it normally does.

  • Using a garmin sat nav device, when planning a route on the mac it always defaults to the same far away location as the starting point. How can I change this?

    Whenever I start route planning using Garmin Connect, the map opens at the same distant location every time, by default. How can I change this and make it open at my own location?

    Hello Cgifford,
    Welcome to National Instruments Forums.
    To output your signal to the PFI lines,
    you can use external connectios between OUT0 and PFI lines. You can also use
    the backplane to do so by routing into the same RTSI line.
    1)
    On the SCOPE and FGEN, the name of the
    terminals are actually “PXI Trigger Line x/RTSIx” but on the 6602 you might
    need to route the signal using the property:
    You can also use the DAQmx route signal which perform the same opperation.
    2)
    This will depend on the frequency of
    your pulse train. If this is lower than about 10 ms, then you can probably
    place this on a loop and start and stop the acquisition every time. If the
    frequency is higher than this, you will have to use:
    -       Scripting on the FGEN side (read more)
    -       MultiRecord Fetch (more information in the scope help file
    section “Acquisition Functions Reading versus Fetching”).
    3)
    The short answer is yes. The longer one
    might depend on how tight you need the synchronization to be (us, ns, ps). For
    very tight synchronization, you should look into here.

    my mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
    Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
    That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
