How do I rename windows in the startup screen (boot screen)

Hi
I have just replaced my HDD for a larger one and put the old one in the SuperDrive DVD bay (had a smaller one there before also)
I Cloned both the Mac side and the windows side using CCC and winclone an both seems to be cloned fine , however I do not want to erase(format) the old drive for a few weeks until 100% sure everything is working fine .
So my Question . As I have 2 HDD installed when I hit options at startup the boot screen appears with 2 Mac Partitions and 2 windows partitions ,
The Mac ones I just renamed on the mac side, ( 1TB mac and 500GB mac) and on boot screen those names show up .
but
The 2 windows bootcamp drives/partitions just are written WINDOWS , so I have no idea which is old one and which is new larger one , I have tried renaming in the same way , on my mac I have them show up on desktop and called Bootcamp 1 and Bootcamp NEW , but on the boot screen just called WINDOWS .
How can I rename one of these so both are not just named windows and have it show up on the boot/option screen ?
Thanks mark

Hi LamboMong,
just try this:
http://refit.sourceforge.net
install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
(The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
I hope that will solve your problem.

How do I delete files on the startup disc on a macbook pro

How do i delete files on the startup dics to make room to download itunes and such on my macbook pro

Move items you don't need on it, such as the iTunes and iPhoto libraries, to another drive, verify they work in the new location, and then delete them from the internal drive. If you don't need something at all, drag it to the Trash and empty it.

This warning usually indicates, that your free disk space is critically low.
Empty you Trash, delete files that you do not need at all, and move large media files, like iPhoto libraries or videos to an external drive.

How do you free space on the startup disk

how do you free space on the startup disk

If your disk is 80% full that is normal. Time Machine uses up to 80% of the disk space for local snapshots. To get rid of these snapshots simply plug in your Time Machine backup drive and run a backup.
If you have less than 20% disk space then it is time to roll up your sleeves and search for what you can delete and what you can offload to another disk.
If you have less than 10 GB you definitely need to delete or offload some files. You may want to maintain at least 20 GB of free space so when your disk starts filling again it will have some room before it hits that 10 GB mark again. More headroom is better. If you let the space fall much below 9 GB you might not be able to boot your machine.
Initial easy steps to gain disk space:
- Delete all files in the Downloads folder.
- Empty the trash.
- Start iPhoto, empty its trash and restart the computer.
Deleting files:
Run a Time Machine (or other) backup since you are about to delete and move files and you may need to recover from any inadvertent mistakes or decisions. You will need one external hard drive for your Time Machine (or other) backup and a second one onto which you will offload some files.
Then use the free application OmniDiskSweeper http://www.omnigroup.com/more to explore your volume in descending order by size so you can attack the problem from the top down, deleting the largest unwanted files first. Delete with caution and do not delete any system files. Remember to empty the trash after trashing the files.
Moving files:
Consider moving some of the no-often-used large files or directories to an external disk. Use ODS again to find them.
As noted above this will be at least your second hard drive. Your first one(s) is/are for your Time Machine (or other) backup(s). Do not offload files onto a Time Machine disk.
Format the second drive as Mac OS Extended (journaled). Using OWS to find large files/folders and copy them from the system drive to the external hard drive and delete them from your internal drive.
Then  > System Preferences > Time Machine > Options… > Remove the offload HD name from the exclusions list.
Now both your system disk and your external offload disk will be backed up onto your Time Machine disk.

My Iphone has frozen on the startup screen! What to do!

Hi,
After battling with the upgrade all night, at 4 AM this morning, I finally had it all installed, so I attempted to sync it and put all my songs back on, this is where the BIG problems started! It was half way through syncing, when it ejected itself, SOMEHOW! This cause the phone to freeze, I reset it and it is now frozen on the startup screen with the apple logo, a constant reminder of how they've let me down! And now, when I plug it into to my PC it comes up with an error warning with the number 0xE8000035 and windows says there is a Hard Drive malfunction!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will happen again. I had the **** phone lockup on the startup screen twice in one day (lucky I had my macbook to restore) and I paid a visit to the genius bar.
Guy restored my phone and said that was it. I asked him how so, that is not a normal issue. He told me that my copy of the phone's firmware I downloaded from the server must be corrupt. I begrudgingly took the phone home.
After having it lockup three times in the week since I got it back, I'm going back to the store tommorow to have it switched out. I'll be that ****** off, rude customer who will give them sh** until they swap my phone out. I'm very unhappy with apple as a company right now, all they do is stall fixing the problem by doing an instore restore and sending you home, hoping you won't come back. I don't care if I have to cancel my contract, I'm not dealing with this problem anymore with this phone. I can't be going entire days without any contact as a manager in a retail store.
My question to the experts is:
COULD this be hardware related? Somehow the phone is not reading the firmware correctly and causing this problem. That's how I'm seeing the problem...

Error when calling a popup window in the initial screen of an application

Hi,
    I am calling a popup window in the Initial screen to select the variant list.
I am getting an error reference to Null Object reference.
Here is the Error.
Runtime Errors         OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO
Exception              CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL
Date and Time          15.06.2007 10:00:16
Short text
Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CP" had to be
terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
administrator.
Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
at and manage termination messages, and you can also
keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not
caught in
procedure "SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
access a component.
An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
before it can be used to access components.
Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
CLEAR statement.
How to correct the error
Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
keywords:
"OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO" "CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL"
"CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CP" or "CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CM00Q"
"SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA"
If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
notification to SAP, include the following information:
1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
(Unconverted)".
2. Corresponding system log
Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
(Unconverted)".
3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
program: The source code of the program
In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
actions and input led to the error.
The exception must either be prevented, caught within proedure
"SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA" "(METHOD)", or its possible occurrence must be declared in
the
RAISING clause of the procedure.
To prevent the exception, note the following:
Looking for Ur valuable suggestions.

Hi Sam,
The correct code for creating a popup window will be:
data lo_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager.
data lo_api_component type ref to if_wd_component.
data lo_window         type ref to if_wd_window.
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
lo_window         = lo_window_manager->create_window(
                     window_name            = 'WINDOW_NAME'
*                    title                  =
*                    close_in_any_case      = abap_true
                     message_display_mode   = if_wd_window=>co_msg_display_mode_selected
*                    close_button           = abap_true
                     button_kind            = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_okcancel
                     message_type           = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_none
                     default_button         = if_wd_window=>co_button_ok

How to populate TableView data on the other screen TextField

On pressing a button a second window is opened containing a Table of values. As the user double clicks a row the value of the second column of the row should be inserted into the textbox of the FirstClass. Code of both the classes is attached. Thanking you in anticipation.

Mac won't startup past the startup screen

Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a new Seagate internal hard-drive, replaced the existing Seagate hard-drive in the second SATA slot, partitioned it and successfully uploaded several files to the drive. I'm not sure if this is relevant to the problem, but the following happened the next day:
My Power Mac G5 has been known to freeze when it goes to sleep. Usually, when this happens, I just have to perform a hard restart and everything boots like normal. This morning, encountering the same problem, I tried restarting it with the power button, but the startup process gets stuck on the startup screen with the Apple logo and the spinning loading graphic. Sometimes, the Apple logo turns into a distorted square graphic and still will not load into OS X. I removed the new hard drive, unplugged all of the USB devices besides the keyboard, pressed the PMU button on the logic board (suggested by someone on these boards), but the problem persists.
Any ideas?

It's not getting far enough along to get info from your keyboard. I've had this problem myself but I can't remember how I corrected it, or even if I did. On my third G5 myself you see...
Anyway, try giving this a go. With your Mac shut down, start it up and keep your finger depressing the power button until you hear a tone and then release. That may get you through, or your next start up may work. If that doesn't work I don't know. Perhaps taking out and reseating your RAM and/or taking out and reseating your video card. In sounds like your Mac is in limboland as it can't find a system to start from. Are your fans going at full blast after a little while?
Here's the document my advice refers to. It's not all that explicit so I condensed it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2322
Ah, one more thing before you try that... Shut down the Mac, pull the plug from the wall, pull the plug from the mac. Wait 4-5 minutes. Then plug everything back in again. Believe it or not that sometimes works. Resets NVRAM, I believe. Good luck!

Finder quit, won't go past the startup screen - Help!

Hello,
I was happily using my ibook when out of no where, my entire desktop disappeared. I tried to reopen the finder, but it wouldn't budge, so I thought I'd restart.
After trying to restart a couple times, the applications in my dock would work but my entire desktop was still missing and finder was not opening...
I shut it down and left it alone for a bit. I came back and turned it on and now it will get to the startup screen and then proceed to the blue screen with the white box where the computer begins to load and it freezes. I hear no sounds at all. It just stays frozen.
Does anyone know what this problem might be and are there any solutions to getting it fixed? I hope to God this does not affect any of the files I have on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It's hard to know what the problem is, and I suspect that it will take more knowledgeable people than me to solve it, but there are a couple of things you can try first.
One thing is to run the Apple Hardware Test. It will be on one of the Cd's that came with your computer, either on one of the install discs or as a separate disc. It will look for hardware problems and give you an error code if it finds one. It doesn't find everything, but it is supposed to detect serious hardware failures.
Did either of you get a flashing question mark when you tried to start up?
Another thing to do (just on general principles) if you can access your utilities is to use Disk Utility to verify and repair if necessary both permissions and the disk. If the disk indicates that it needs repair, you will need to boot from your install disc and use the Disk Utility on it to repair the start up disk.
Please try these and post back if you have any questions about how to do either of these. If you get any error codes from the AHT or any indications of hard drive problems from DU, please post back with these.
Akamoe 243, welcome to you too! It sounds like you have a similar problem on the face of it, but it's hard to say if it will have the same cause. You can also run the AHT and DU and just follow this thread. But if you get an error code or a problem shows up with DU, it would be advisable to start your own thread so that your problem can get the attention it deserves.
Good luck to both of you!
