How do I switch to bootcamp windows

I have set up a wireless Mac keyboard on my Mac mini.  Prior to this, I used a standard windows keyboard and would hold down the Alt key while rebooting to get the option of which drive to open.  This new keyboard doesn't seem to allow this.

Press the Mac Option key

  • How can I switch between multiple windows of the same application (e.g. Safari) over several desktops ?

    Hi All,
    I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
    How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
    thanks for your replies,
    equi

    Barney,
    many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
    Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
    btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
    I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
    Thanks,
    equi

    You can check to see if SERVEROUTPUT is ON for your environment by typing the following at the SQL*Plus prompt
    SQL > show serveroutput
    serveroutput ON SIZE 1000000 FORMAT WRAPPEDIf it's OFF like shown below:
    SQL > show serveroutput
    serveroutput OFFThen all you have to do to enable it is:
    SQL > set serveroutput onHope this helps!

  • How do I switch to another window in Firefox for Mac?

    I often have multiple Firefox windows open. Does Firefox or Mac OS X provide a way to switch among windows?
    Normally I can switch from one window to another by Command-Tab, but when I have multiple Windows open for one application (such as Firefox), I only see the Firefox icon once, and so I only have the option to open one of the windows.
    (In Windows XP, the corresponding operation (Alt-Tab) shows the multiple Firefox windows separately. But under OS X I see only one.)
    Thanks for any help.

    Try Command+` (that is the back tick and is the same key as the ~ tilde, just above the tab key).

  • How can I repair my Bootcamp Windows XP partition?

    Hi! I've had Bootcamp for over a year, but last night, when I tired to open an application, Windows crashed giving me a blue screen telling me "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL." I've had this problem sometimes before, but this time, whenever I try to boot from my Windows partition, it starts loading (showing the flag and the little blue bar), and, while still loading, the screen goes black and I have to choose a different configuration. I managed to boot in "Safe Mode with Command Prompt." As it's still loading in the aforementioned mode, it gives me a list of all (prsumably) the drivers on my system, and pauses on "myp.sys" for a few seconds (10-15), at which point it loads normally into safe mode. So I googled my case and it may be that there's a problem with Boot Camp's MBR, but since I'm not a particularly advanced user, I have no idea how to make sure that's the problem. I also tried booting from the Windows XP CD to get to the Recovery Console, but some of the commands (like "FIXMBR") were particularly menacing, so I did not attempt anything. I'm also trying to repair my partition with Disk Utility at the moment, but I suspect it won't do any good. Any ideas?

    I re-installed XP over the existing XP, but the opening screen does not show any of my programs or data.  I still have a bootcamp Icon on my desktop and all the programs and dats are there.  How do I re-integrate the system, so I boot to a working Windows XP with my old programs and data?
    Thanks for any input.

  • How can I switch to 32bit Windows 7

    I recently purchased a U150 laptop.  It came with Windows 7 64bit installed.  I am discovering that there are a number of devices that I need to connect to that only have 32bit drivers available.
    Is there any way I can convert my laptop to 32bit Windows 7?

    if you update your drivers, you don't need to install windows 7 32 bit.
    have you checked this page for updated drivers?

    or you can tell us what drivers you need.we can try to help you.
    still you want to windows 32 bit, you need to order windows 7 32 bit or ask lenovo.

  • How to switch CC from Windows to Mac

    I have Creative Cloud on my Windows desktop and laptop. I am considering moving to a new Macbook Pro. How do I switch CC from Windows to Mac?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I appreciate the advice, but I've discovered that my OS has to be updated first (was 10.6.8) and am in the process of upgrading to Yosemite. Then I will try to login to Creative Cloud on the Mac and from there navigate as you describe. I hope to report this worked!

  • How do I switch from Windows to mac?

    How do I switch from Windows to mac on a macmini?

    Hi,
    I assume you are talking about a BootCamp Windows, right ?
    If so, usually you hold down the Alt/Option-key at startup of your Mac to get the Boot Selection screen.
    There you can choose which Operating System to boot into.
    Once in OSX you might wanna go to System Preferences - Startup Volume and set your OSX to be the default.
    Regards

    how do i switch from using mac to windows?

    How is Windows installed? If you installed Windows using Bootcamp Assistant then when your computer is powering up press and hold the option key. When the boot manager appears, select either OSx or Windows to boot.

  • How can I remove the BootCamp partition? as the size i created ws too small to install MS Office on 64Bit Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro (Aug'13)

    How can I remove the BootCamp partition drive for Windows 8.1, as the size which I created was too small for me to install Microsoft Office onto Windows 8.1 64-BIt. The machine which I have is the MacBook Pro 13' inch purchased in August 2013.

    Either use Paragon's CampTuneX to resize it or use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition and restore the drive to one partition. Then create a new, larger Boot Camp partition. This will remove/delete/erase your Windows system.

  • I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to the new one. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Pro  Mac OS X 10.7.4  2.6 Ghz Intel Core 17. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    you can't just move XP even if you took the hard drive and have Windows boot and function.
    Apparently there are Windows tools to sanitize the OS and strip all the motherboard drivers and services.
    Time to get a supported OS. Don't want to pay, then use 8 for the time until it goes on sale.
    There are no drivers for even Vista on 2011 and later Macs.
