    Sounds like to me that you have a bootcamp partition with Windows and have the default Windows to boot first.
    I think there is a Windows Control Panel or other setting while your in Windows to set the OS X as the first boot option.
    Also in OS X there is a option under the System Preferences to set OS X as the first boot option.

    How to add fingerprint to 5s? I can`t press add a fingerpint please HELP ios 8,0,2

    Hi, SillDeividas.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here is an article that I would recommend taking a look at for this issue.  
    Get help with Touch ID
    Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
    Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
    Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
    If you're using a case or screen protector, make sure it doesn't cover the Home button or the surrounding ring. If it does, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
    Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and make sure that iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on. Also make sure that you've enrolled one or more fingerprints.
    Try enrolling a different finger.
    If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your device to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for help.
    * Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin might affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.

    mr g
    Correct. Dragging the MP3s into iTunes adds them to your iTunes library. Once they are in your library, you can add them to a playlist. When you have your playlist in the right sequence, click on File > Burn Playlist to Disc.

  • I have three videos to edit.How do I save each one so I can burn them together to a DVD?

    I have three videos to edit. How do I save each one so I can burn them together to a DVD?

    Use Share/Computer/AVI to output each video as a DV-AVI.
    Then open a new project set up for DV and combine the three AVIs on that timeline. Voila!

    Try using a LensCleaner Disk first off. If that won't even run try a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
    Then use the Lens Cleaner again. Make sure your disks are immaculately clean.

  • Power outage - HDD Problem - How to reinstall without disc drive?

    Hi there,
    due to a power outage the journalling of the hdd of the mac mini server running Snow Leopard Server is corrupt and repairing was impossible. I've got to reinstall the system now somehow, but the mac mini doesn't come with a disc drive. I tried to create a bootable USB stick but that didn't work for the server version of Snow Leopard. I really need help with this ... Any ideas?
    Regards,
    Dave

    Thanks iToaster, I already did that to access the data on the hard drive, but I can't install Snow Leopard Server via Target Disk Mode, can I? If yes, how?

  • How to add additional hard drive?

    How do I add an additional hard drive to my MACMINI? I would like to put a 2nd drive in the MACMINI, or perhaps add additional space to the drive inside? Is there a way to hack the old drive inside to make it bigger?
    Thanks!
    Capitan

    You can not add a second internal drive due to physical space constraints but the mini's hard disk is replaceable. The type of drive you will require is dependent on your type of mini, G4 or Intel. Both require laptop drives but the G4 has the common PATA while the Intel uses a SATA drive.
    The easiest solution is an external Firewire drive. There are some very nice ones available which are designed to sit beneath the mini and are finished in a similar style. Most also have built in Firewire and USB hubs to add additional ports to the system. My local Apple store actually has one attached to the display model. You can even put your operating system on an external drive and boot from that if you wish. It has been suggested in this forum that a 7200 rpm drive over Firewire can give perceivable speed improvement on a G4 (due to the internal 5400 rpm drive), but I have no experience with doing so.
    Hope that helps,
    Jason.

  • Disc drive is full, How do clear the disc drive

    I am working on a Mac book Pro and I have been getting a message that my disc drive is full. How do I clear some space? I'm running OS X v 10.9.5

    Drag items such as the iTunes and iPhoto libraries to an external drive and then delete them from the internal one; the iPhoto library needs to be stored on a volume formatted as Mac OS Extended. If desired, use a tool such as GrandPerspective to determine what's taking up the space.

  • How to add Xbox Controller Driver on Windows 7 Bootcamp?

    Hello,
    I was wondering how to install the Xbox Driver on my bootcamp. I've tried downloading the driver, but it doesnt show up in device manager. Wondering if there was a different way to install it with boot camp, or if I'm missing something.
    Thanks!

    Here's what i have going in the device manager: http://puu.sh/6VV0Z.png         
    The drivers come from here: https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows
    I've tested the controller out on other computers, they work there, so it isn't broken.
    I've also tried some of the common troubleshootings i've seen, such as unplugging all usb ports when installing drivers.
    Thanks Again

  • Should I add external hard drive so I can update to os10?

    I was trying to get a new printer for my 266 slot loading I mac. A mac nerd at Fry's said I could connect an external hard drive (USB) and move my applications to it which would free up room on the imac to load os10 (I assume Panther). Does this sound feasible? I have 256 ram. Do I need more ram than that??I'm not a techie but have a son who is a mac addict and could help. (new printers mostly want os10)

    Your iMac 266 has the old/slow USB 1.1 bus, and it doesn't provide a bootable option for an external hard drive. Even running applications from it would be slow, so I wouldn't advise doing that, just to free more space on the internal hard drive for an OS X installation. A larger internal hard drive is a more viable option, but does require mechanical aptitude for disassembly of the iMac. You'd need to install more RAM for OS X, and lacking onboard FireWire would rule out the current OS 10.4.x (Tiger). You'd probably have to settle for Jaguar or Panther. If you add the costs of the OS X installer CDs, more memory, and new hard drive, you could be applying the same $$ toward a newer (even used) Mac.
    What type of printer do you need/want - inkjet or laser? As an alternative to upgrading the iMac, have you considered purchasing a used printer, that would be compatible with the iMac and its pre-OS X software? As an example, the (now-discontinued) Epson Stylus Color 740 or 740i is a good, photo-quality inkjet printer, that's supported for use with Macs via USB and the older serial interface. It's also compatible with PCs via the parallel port interface or USB, so it can be shared between the two platforms. I've purchased 5 or 6 of these printers (used) at thrift stores, because I've always been satisfied with the one I purchased new in 2001. They're more than adequate for most print jobs - including very satisfactory color photo printing, and cost me less than the prices of the replacement ink tanks. If there are any thrift stores in your area that accept donated computers and related peripherals, you might want to check them out for one.

  • Reasonably new to  a mac, how do i copy a  dvd  so i can burn one to disc

    hi all, new to this, how do i copy one of my dvd , so i can burn a spare copy to disc

    It depends on a few things 1st Your Mac must have a Superdrive which is a CD/DVD Read and Write Hardware.
    Next If you have to use the Finder, or Software to Burn it. If it is a Commercial DVD Movie there is Software out there but we are not able to talk about it here because it is a Violation of the Terms Of Use.
    If it is not I suggest you use the Finder and it won't cost you anything but the Blank DVD.
