How do i designate osx as the primary operating system?

I was finally able to install windows 7 professional on my new macbook pro.  But now when I boot up it automatically starts in windows unless i press the option key and select osx manually.  Any way to set osx as the default? Thanks in advance.

Boot into OS X. Open Startup Disk preferences. Select your startup volume and close.

    Make sure your apps are updated.  You might try Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads - Updates = "On".
    You cannot go back to an old operating system.

  • How do I revert back to the old operating system?  The new upgrade that came out totally disabled my WiFi and the default backgrounds changed to white instead of bla k.

    An upgrade was sent to my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone on 3/27/15 and it ruined my phone.  I no longer have the ability to Wi-Fi.  When I swipe the phone on there is a clicking sound and the scree goes directly to my keypad.  I want the phone to go to my home screen like it did before.  My apps that had a black background now have a white background which is impossible to see outdoors.  I want the black background back for settings, clock, and calculator.  Samsung tech support says this stuff is default with the new upgrade.  How do I revert back to the version I had before without having to put the phone back to factory settings and lose all my pictures, memos and other files I have accumulated over the last year that I have had the phone.  I am desparate.  Please help me.  Send an e-mail to (removed)

    You cannot revert back without voiding warranty and we cannot discuss the methods to do so.

    Since I downloaded the new iOS 7, my battery keeps loosing its charge. How do I go back to the previous iOS operating system?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • How do I make my computer the primary for my iPhone 3G?

    How do I make my computer the primary for my iPhone 3G? I am able to load music from my iTunes library but unable to delete music or create playlists on the phone from itunes. The computer I set the phone up with (primary) was destroyed.

    There is no "main" or " primary" account.
    Iphone, ipod touch, ipad will sycn with one and only one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content from the device and replace with content from the new computer.
    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • How do I clone a fully operational system that relies on Windows 7 for the underlying operating system?

    I'm a retired IT professional desiring to assist a friend who owns a small business who recently experienced very malicious attacks on her computers from unknown parties operating anonymously on the Internet. Because
    of her lack of preparation for such events, her future ability to continue to conduct her business was seriously threatened. The incident revealed, to my friend, the need to be prepared to deal with spontaneously occurring problems that create suspicious conditions
    that arise with modern computer software before they can be analyzed in a sufficiently comprehensive manner to have an opinion regarding the appropriate course of action for obtaining a permanent remedy. In that, the ability to quickly react on the basis of
    only suspicion is the goal.
    I want to recommend an approach that involves maintaining an offline image of an operational system that is capable of running any of her computers. This image needs to include all of the software required to run
    her business. In that, it is not limited to the operating system. This single image could then be used to restore any computer to a known reliable state should the need arise. This technique will also insure that each computer has sufficiently similar capability
    to allow them to substitute for each other. Insofar as image restoration is itself an operation susceptible to causing unacceptable business delay I'm also recommending that each of the identical computers (i.e., from a hardware perspective) operate in a multi-boot
    environment where a virtually offline backup can be instantiated via a simple reboot (i.e., an operation that all users of the Windows operating systems turn to when strange behavior is first observed). My intention is to limit the cloned system (i.e., partition
    or C: drive) to the operational software. The business data along with storage for temporary data will be isolated on other partitions (i.e, mounted with other drive letters) accessible by each instance of the software eligible for multi-boot operation.
    This kind of operation is something that I know how to setup on older versions of the Windows operating system. However, Microsoft has now dropped support for all of those operating systems and my much more limited
    experience with the currently supported operating systems reveals that changes to the boot process will necessitate making changes to the specific preparations needed to build such an environment.
    Before recommending that my friend replace all of her computers with new ones, that includes paying for new operating system (i.e., Windows) licenses, I need some assurance that the new operating systems are as
    good as the old ones in this respect. These need to be relatively inexpensive desktop computers and we're only talking about a few of them. Let's say fewer than half a dozen. My friend is a sole proprietor and even though her business has become completely
    dependent on what was once called personal computers she must operate on a fairly tight budget. This especially includes the budget for technology.
    The articles I've been able to find on the Microsoft support websites seem to treat multi-boot as a situation where someone is running different versions of possibly difference operating systems whereas my need
    to produce a single image that will both run on multiple computers as well as multiple partitions on the same computer. I'd appreciate finding some technical advice that applies to building such a system using a supported version of Windows.

    I tried the image creation/restoration described by Jared.  I don't think it makes much sense to rely on an operational system to do such a restoration therefore I opted for method 3 which involves using a "System Repair Disk".  My first
    reaction is what a crude tool.  The image creation process had no trouble putting the image on a simple network share.  However, it appeared as though the restoration couldn't even connect with the device.  I then copied the files to a USB drive. 
    In this case the repair disk said it couldn't find the files even though they were there.  It offered no mechanism to even look and see what was there.  It appears as though it will only find the image if it is located in a folder by the certain
    name used on creation and it is in root directory.  Not very handy.
    As ugly as all that was when we finally come to the point of making the restore it looks like the only option is to restore the entire disk, which in my case would mean also restoring both the windows partition and the recovery partition.  This just
    isn't what I want to do.  It is also something I wouldn't even consider doing unless it was the only possible way to recover from a failed hard drive.
    In summary, unless I've completely failed to notice how it works that just isn't going to work.
    I hope there is something better than this.  What about WinPE and ImageX?
    Absent anything useful from Microsoft it will be necessary to try using other software.  Time to try Acronis!  I guess.

    Ditto.
    You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
    Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

  • How do I update my old MacBook to the newest operating system, but want to clean it out thoroughly first (without losing my data). How should I best go about doing this?

    Hi everybody. I have a MacBook that's about five years old. I want to buy the newest operating system so that it runs better (because currently it is struggling), however I would like to clean up all the old software before I do that. I want it to be as clean and new as possible before I buy the new operating system, instead of just downloading it ontop of all of the rubbish I must have accumulated. I also want to keep my data (documents, photographs etc). Would anybody be kind enough to provide me with a step-by-step (can be as concise as you like, depending on how much time/effort you have to explain!) guide as to how I might go about doing this myself? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank so much guys.

    Step number one - Back up all your important data!
    Seriously, it sounds like you are working without backups. Don't ever do this. Hard drives fail, it is a fact of life. Don't be one of those who get caught without a backup. An external hard drive, burning it all to DVDs, or online backup will save you frustration and money.
    Two - don't expect a new operating system to improve performance. Get the computer running as best as it can before you upgrade. You may need more RAM or a bigger hard drive.

    You can tell apple that you'd like it and see if they respond....eventually. (you don't get responses from your feedback mails but they have been known to issue changes that users have asked for, such as the ability to mass delete apps)

  • I am selling my Mac Mini. I recently purchased OS X Lion. When I restore to factory settings, how can I ensure that the operating system will still be Lion, and not the original operating system, which I believe was Snow Leopard?

    I am selling my Mac Mini. I recently purchased OS X Lion. When I restore to factory settings, how can I ensure that the operating system will still be Lion, and not the original operating system, which I believe was Snow Leopard?

    If you bought Lion from the App Store, you can't legally or practically transfer it, because it's tied to your Apple ID. Reinstall the original software from the discs that came with the machine.

  • How to subtract a day from the presentation variable @{system.currentTime}

    Hello,
    How can subtract a day from the presentation variable - @{system.currentTime}
    I use the above as a title in the report. However I want to subtract a day from the above variable. How can I accomplish it?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Did you try the steps which I mentioned above. You can use TIMESTAMPADD function in many places in your report but I think not in title section of the title view.
    Also you can try using Narrative view instead of title view to achieve this. Follow below steos:
    * Pull another column in the report and change its fx to TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -1, @{system.currentTime})
    * Now go to the Narrative view and add the below text in Narrative section of the view.
    Active Person Report as of @1
    Here @1 assuming the new column created is placed before all the columns in the request.
    * Also set the 'Rows to Display' as 1.
    * Delete Title view from the report and this narrative view on top of your report.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks
