  • Satellite A350-12D PSAL6E: how to boot Win 8.1 without pushing power button

    Hi,
    is there a way to boot the OS(WIN8.1) [system status: shut down]
    without pulling the screen first up and pushing the power button?
    FYI: I 'm using a external HDMI connected monitor/screen!
    I know of the feature wake on keyboard via BIOS, but using that requires a laptop in hibernation/standby mode.
    It kinda bugs me everytime to pull the display up and pushing
    Wake on Lan is not an alteranative as its connected via W-LAN
    Any ideas or hint appreciated!
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    dirtyheizer

    Unfortunately, there is no other method to power up the notebook, if the unit has been powered off.
    You have to push the power button to power ON the notebook.

  • In Lion, how would a user REPAIR disk without a disk to boot from?

    In Lion, how would a user REPAIR Disk without a disk to boot from?  It's cool to download Lion from App Store, but I think they need to solve how they will repair disk without optical disk to boot from.  I have had to repair disk in with the disk utility around 5-10 times in the past.

    That does confuse the issue, a bootable DVD is for installing the operating system after a hard drive replacement, which also will include the recovery partition.
    Recovery parititions are a great idea for Windows as it fails often, but hard drives fail more often in Mac's than the operating system.

  • How to boot on MacMini's recovery partition without screen?

    hi,
    i'm using my MacMini on Mavericks with my iMac's screen. when i want to see the MacMini, i press cmd-F2 on the iMac's keyboard. so far so good.
    problem is now i need to boot on my MacMini's recovery partition (to delete Macintosh HD since i'm selling the MacMini). i rebooted from the MacMini pressing Alt key for a very long time , lost the "MacMini's" screen, and THEN i pressed cmd-F2 on the iMac's keyboard.
    unfortunately, there seems to be no way to use the iMac's screen for the MacMini for the above mentioned purpose: i press cmd-F2 but nothing happens.
    i tried several times but no success.
    please note that when trying to boot the MacMini "normally" (without pressing Alt key), i can see it as usual.
    i'm really stuck. any suggestions please?
    Thanks

    that means that, without a monitor (which i don't have anyway - apart from my iMac's one), i won't be able to see the recovery partition on the MacMini, right.
    my main concern is to erase my MacMini's Macintosh HD before I sell the machine.
    as a workaround, i'm considering:
    1. doing a simple "install and erase". that would reinstall Mavericks. hope i can do that USING MY iMac's Monitor. is that right?
    2. then i'd place plenty of dummy data on the empty new Mavericks install.
    3. then i'd do another "install and erase"
    please let me know whether such a procedure would make my personal data not retrievable by the person who'll purchase the MacMini.
    Thanks.
    Correct. You have to use a monitor to view the Recovery HD's OS X Utilities Menu. If there is a way of viewing the Recovery HD - OS X Utilities menu without a monitor, I don't know how.
    And as far as preparing your Mac Mini for resale, it's best to put the version of OS X on that the Mac came with:
    1. Clone your Mac Mini drive to an external drive so you can use your iMac as a monitor. You can use Carbon Copy Clone or SuperDuper (free for full clones).
    2. Boot into the clone from the Mac Mini using the Option/Alt key at restart. And use Disk Utility to erase your Mac Mini's internal HDD. I think you can do a Secure Erase if you're concerned that someone could access files after a format.
    3. This is the tricky part without a monitor. Somehow you need to be able to see a screen to boot into Internet Recovery (Command+Option+R) which boots to Apple's server. You'll see the same OS X Utilities menu, but it's from Apple and you can then install the version of OS X that came preinstalled (e.g Mountain Lion, Lion).
    I don't know how you can do #3 without a monitor. And I'm assuming your Mac Mini came preinstalled with an OS X version prior to OS X Mavericks.

  • How o boot external Linux Drive

    I have a Seagate USB drive with Ubuntu Linux installed that boots fine on my Windows XP system. I would like to boot this disk on my intel based MacBook Pro but haven't been successful. When I reboot holding the option key I only see the internal drive as a boot option. The system doesn't see the Seagate drive at all. Can anyone tell me how to get this drive to boot on the Mac as well as the PC?
    Thanks

    You can't boot Linux on the Mac that way. A Linux system drive is not readable on the Mac nor seen as bootable using the OS X bootloader. Try installing rEFIt - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate - which may be able to configure the external LInux system in its bootloader.

  • How to boot a desktop-PC into RT directly from harddisk (without floppy disk)

    Hello,
    we are using a normal desktop-PC as LabVIEW real-time target (ETS).
    Unfortunately, we always have to use the floppy boot disk (created with MAX) in order to boot this RT-system.
    Once we had a National Instruments PXI real-time system and there was no need for that boot disk to start the system.
    So, why do we have to boot the desktop-PC from a floppy disk instead of booting directly from harddisk?
    Or is there a possibility to boot the desktop system without floppy disk, just like the PXI-system?
    Tom S.

    Hi Daniel,
    thank you for your reply.
    I just checked again if I can boot the RT-system without the floppy disk, from harddisk only - but that doesn't work ("DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK...").
    Of course, the boot order in BIOS is set up appropriately to allow booting from harddisk.
    And also, the complete software package was already installed on harddisk via MAX through the previously configured network connection.
    Actually, it seems there is no boot loader installed on harddisk at RT-systems for desktop-PC's.
    The boot loader has to be launched from the floppy boot disk and afterwards, the further boot program is loaded from hard disk.
    Is there anyone who can boot a desktop-PC into RT without the floppy disk? And what do I have to set up in order to make it work for our system?
    Thanks,
    Tom S.

  • T60p does not boot from new primary hard disk (Single-boot Linux/Fedora 14)

    Hi,
    I have just upgraded the primary disk in my T60p laptop (model 8742-C4G.) The BIOS recognised the disk fine, I partitioned it, marked the first partition as bootable, and then copied the OS (Fedora 14) and all my data back onto it. Then I installed the GRUB bootloader using the following commands:
    grub> root (hd0,0)
    grub> find /grub/stage1
    grub> setup (hd0)
    grub> quit
    I've also tried installing GRUB with "setup (hd0,0)" instead of "setup (hd0)", without success.
    This ran fine, exactly like with all the other PCs I've successfully performed this procedure on in the past. However, this laptop is refusing to boot from the new disk. There's no sign of any activity, either - just a flashing cursor in the top-left corner of the otherwise blank LCD panel. So I'm guessing that either the bootloader is failing immediately, or the laptop isn't executing the bootloader at all.
    The laptop is running the very latest v1.18 BIOS, and there are no beeps, POST errors or anything like that. My previous disk booted into Fedora 14 without any difficulty at all, of course.
    Can anyone suggest why the T60p is not booting, please? And also how to fix it? Is there any extra initialisation that I need to do in the BIOS, for example? (I haven't seen any...) The disk *does* appear in the BIOS's list of bootable media. Or maybe there's some special code that needs to be written into the MBR that GRUB doesn't know about?
    The disk is a 320 GB 7200rpm Western Digital drive, and the Lenovo/IBM salesperson assured me that it was fully compatible with a T60p laptop without the need for any extra firmware.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas, because I'm completely stumped at this point.
    Cheers,
    Chris
    N.B. This is a Linux laptop, and so Windows-centric suggestions aren't going to help me.

    You said you can't get into Windows safe mode, have you installed Windows on the hard drive?  Are you able to get into the BIOS for the controller?  
    If you aren't able to access the BIOS for the controller, it may be due to bad RAM.  If you are comfortable installing RAM and you have some extra laptop RAM of the same type (I think it's DDR3 for your controller) laying around, you can try swapping out the RAM.
    Was your hard drive damaged through some event, or did it just stop working?

  • How do i pgrade my os without loosing data or using extra hdd? Thanks

    How do i pgrade my os without loosing data or using extra hdd? Thanks

    Yes, you can do that, but it is inadvisable to do so without a safety backup. But that's your choice, which means there is no guarantee you won't have a problem.
    First thing you should do:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Satellite C50-A-1FT - How to boot from the USB stick

    hi,
    this is last stop really as have run out of ideas,have asked every techie that know including taking it to an independant computer store.
    I am using a toshiba satelite C55 a-1d5, with windows eight preinstalled.
    I am trying to get Ubuntu booting off a Toshiba G3 USB stick [sixty four gb capacity],theres nothing wrong with the stick or the multiple distros on it.
    so have followed all the advice Ive found and obviously as woud usualy do-on the BIOS/UEFI screen have made sure the boot sequence has USB first,but when using the CSM boot order it wont boot the USB stick it just gets over runned by Windows 8.
    I tried to deactive from the BIOS the "secure Boot" or something like that, but it seems to be already off... and its weird because my laptop is new. just bought it 2 days ago.
    please can any kind soul take pity and offer reasons why this may be happening or even better,know how to get linux on it? thanks in advance
    Message was edited by: yoctomx1

    Seems that you could solve this issue disabling the secure boot in BIOS as well in registry:
    HKeyLocalMachine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ SecureBoot\State
    (UEFISecureBootEnabled needs to be set to 0 to disable SecureBoot within the system)
    But to be honest this should not affect the USB booting in case the Windows 8 (or Win 8.1) has been completely powered OFF.

    Without knowing what you have installed or what modifications you have done it is not possible to say what goes wrong. Like I previously mentioned, you may have installed an incompatible version of a core system library. Sorry, I'm not going to read any installation manual to find out what you might have done wrong. You may need to reinstall the complete system or just the popt installation package.
    Based on my experience people sometimes seem to misunderstanding the concept of software version requirements, which are always minimum version requirements and does not mean, for instance, software made for gcc 4.1.10 does not work under 4.1.12. You cannot simply upgrade or downgrade core system libraries without affecting the installed system. Using YUM to install software will check this and prevent you from breaking your system. RPM does not check any dependencies and hence can break your system beyond repair.

  • How to Boot From an External HD

    I am still pondering getting a mini - I know that I will want a much larger hard drive (since I want to use it for media and will keep tons of video and music on it). I would like to know how to boot from an external hard drive. I've searched google, the forums, and apple support, and see people mention it all the time, but can't find out how to do it, etc. Is it just like running off my normal HD but all the files are kept on the external (so I could still access files thru itunes, etc.)?
    Also, I would like to get a 500GB+ drive to keep my files on, and was wondering if people had recomendations. Brands, USB 2.0 or Firewire, etc.
    Apologies if this is a novice question - but I can't seem to find answers anywhere.
    Thanks in advance.

    Firstly, it is certainly possible to boot from an external drive, so what you plan is not only feasible, but since the external would be faster than the internal drive, also rather beneficial to the efficient running of the mini - meaning, the system will be notably faster in use.
    In my view, the best option is an external firewire drive, not USB. The reason is that FW has it's own dedicated controller while USB doesn't. In effect, it means that FW data transfer speeds are stable and consistent, while USB rates vary widely, depending on what else the system is doing.
    Once you have your external drive connected, the easiest way to make it bootable is to copy your existing MacOS install from the internal drive using software such as Carbon Copy Cloner (downloadable from www.versiontracker.com). This will avoid having to do a lengthy reinstall. Once MacOS is copied, then open System Preferences, and the Startup Disk preference pane, and click on the external drive icon. The next restart will then be directed to the external.
    Once you have booted from the external drive, you use it just as you would an internal, and MacOS will treat it as the boot volume, including by default, placing your user account folders on it, including your documents, music etc.

  • How can use linux in my macbook?

    how can use linux in my macbook?

    You can use various distributions of Linux either by running them under Boot Camp, or in a virtualized environment such as Parallels or VMWare's Fusion. Note that you may have to try several different distros until you find one that works. I settled on Ubuntu running under Parallels.
    Best of luck.
