How to recover partition with osx after install

yea so i decided to install win 7 using bootcamp and made a partition for 50gigs. after following instructions the win 7 install menu came up were the partitions are located, and on the bottom it showed the partition i made for 50gigs that read (bootcamp partition) or something similar, anyways i clicked on it and it told me that win 7 could not be installed on that partition. so i clicked on advanced and then clicked on "format" again to reformat the partition again. after win 7 was installed succesfully and a few reboots later i cannot access or even see osx anymore. i know what and why its not showing up i just dont know how to reinstall the bootloader to access the partition again. does any dual boot loader work ok or what is the best way to make this work. thank you for any help in advanced.

When starting the system hold down the Option/Alt key to get a boot selection screen. Select Mac OS X to boot from. If by chance there is no OS X boot selection then you formatted the wrong partition and wiped out OS X. If that is the case you'll need to start over reinstalling OS X or restore from your Time Machine backup.

How to recover Passwords Plus data after installing Lion?

How to recover Passwords Plus data after installing Lion?

While waiting for DataViz to rewrite the app, get another hard drive and install 10.6 on that; re-start from there, you can then open Passwords Plus. Use whatever method you like to copy the data. A bit of a chore yes, but I can't think of another way.
There is in the AppStore Ascendo DataVault which performs the same function. I am going to wait a week for DataViz, then jump ship.

How can I partition internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

I recently purchased MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011) model with OS X v10.7.2 Lion installed. I've upgraded to OS X v10.7.3 Lion and updated all other software.
I require Windows 7 for some Windows based softwares that do not support Mac OS X. Therefore, used Boot Camp 4.0 to install Windows 7 and then tried partitioning single internal HDD to have 3 partitions (4 total including BOOTCAMP partition). Disk Utility created a 648.5MB partition and then I was able to create 3 other partitions of custom sizes. After applying these changes, I got an error message that said selected volume size is too small. I resized this 648.5MB partion to a custom size and had total 4 partitions, including BOOTCAMP.
After reapplying these changes, BOOTCAMP partition was removed and I was left with only 3 partitions and empty space.
I've tried several different ways to partition the disk, all in vein. Is there a way I can partition my single internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

You can't do what you want with GUI utilities, which will only allow a total of 4 partitions due to the limitation of MBR needed to support Windows. Those four partitions: EFI System (hidden), Mac OS, Recovery HD (hidden), Windows. So with Lion, you only get two visible partitions if you're going to use Windows with BootCamp. You can't make anymore with the included graphical tools.
If you need more partitions you'll need to use something like GPT fdisk (gdisk) to create the partitions in the GPT first. Then add the Windows partition only to the MBR and flag it as bootable. gdisk can be googled and downloaded for Mac OS X off sourceforge. It is not a GUI tool.

How to recover partition (with encrypted sparse bundle disk image) that won't mount?

I have a Late 2013 27" iMac running OS X 10.9.4. I have an external drive that I use for Time Machine backups which also has an encrypted sparse bundle disk image. Yesterday, the drive stopped showing up in Finder, so I went to Disk Utility and tried to mount it. No go. So I tried repairing it, and it said it couldn't. I'm not worried about the Time Machine backup since my iMac is find so I can just make a backup to a new external drive. However, the encrypted sparse bundle disk image has some files in it that I don't have elsewhere. Is there a way to recover these files without sending it in to a drive recovery service (since those would cost a LOT of money)?

No such options. As I mentioned in the post title and in my first post, the partition won't mount.

Enlarging a volume
If you have multiple volumes on a disk and one is running out of space, you may be able to enlarge it
without losing any of its data.
To enlarge a volume, you must delete the volume that comes after it on the disk, and then move the
volume’s end point into the freed space. You can’t enlarge the last volume on a disk. You can see the
order of the volumes in Disk Utility by selecting the disk, clicking Partition, and looking at the Volume
Scheme list.
All data on the deleted volume will be erased. Be sure to back up your disk’s data before you begin.
To enlarge a volume:
From the list at the left, select the disk that contains the volume you want to enlarge, and then click
Partition.
In the Volume Scheme list, select the volume beneath the volume you want to enlarge, and then click
Delete〔-〕.
The volume is immediately erased, leaving the space it formerly occupied available.
Resize the volume.
You can drag the divider at the bottom of the volume in the Volume Scheme list, or you can select the
volume, and then enter a value in the Size field.
If the enlarged volume doesn’t use all the space from the deleted volume, you can create new volumes
in the unused space.
To create a new volume, click Add〔+〕, select the new volume, and choose its name, format, and size.
Click Apply.
Disk Utility enlarges the volume and creates any new volumes.

If you can download the ML installer you can make a bootable install media by using:
http://liondiskmaker.com/
If your Mini came with ML you can also boot to Internet Recovery
OS X: About OS X Recovery
and it will install ML. Make sure you boot to Internet Recovery and not the Recovery Partition. If to the partition you will only get Mavericks.

Cant get ical to sync with iphone after installing OSX

cant get ical to sync with iphone after installing OSX

I too was a mobileme user and have just migrated to iCloud on mackbook pro w/OS 10.7.4. Transition caused my sent mailboxes to rearrange themselves so that I have no comprehensive 'sent' mailbox as I did previously and the view on both incoming and outgoing mailboxes keeps rearranging itself no matter how many times I set preferences. One result is that search function no longer works. Is anyone else having problems like this? All was fine for a week after transition but after having an evening when my password was repeatedly rejected I had to log in and out of iCloud (as directed by tech support) and w/in an hour or so the mailbox problem began.

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from ITunes what i have to do to restore all my contact, applications and others?

If your iPhone does not search for a wi-fi connection before you are asked whether you want to set it up as new phone or restore a backup from iTunes, then I guess you have the same issue as highlighted in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19638850?ac_cid=tw123456#19638850
iCloud back ups can only be accessed via wi-fi that's why you are not granted this option, I have the exact same issue.

Anyone have trouble with IPad3 after installing OS6.1.3? keeps crashing

Anyone having trouble with iPad3 after installing OS6.1.3? Mine keeps crashing.

Mine seems to be just fine.
Try a reset,
Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.

Can't start up with Mac osx after installing windows on partition

Hello guys.
I installed windows on a partition of 100gb and I restarted the iMac so I can log on to Mac osx.
I hold down the option key after I hear the sound but only the windows disk appears there.
I tried the DVD that came with my Mac by holding down the "c" key but nothing happened. I was holding it down for 2-3 minutes.
I need some help here
Is there a way to boot Mac again?
Is there a chance I deleted Mac osx by installing windows?
And if there is how the **** am I getting it back since the osx DVD does not boot??
Thanks in advance

The Macbook will not allow you to startup with your Install DVD while you have Open Firmware password enabled. Disable that first, then try again....
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106482
Launch the Open Firmware application to disable it.
