How to restore OSX after I add another drive in window partition?

I installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp one month ago and it worked fine.
Today, I decided to make another drive in Windows partition.(I din't know I could not make another drive.)
So, I shrank C drive and made E drive using disk manager in Windows.(I could not choose D drive)
After I did that, I saw that OSX partition was gone and G and H drives were made.
I no longer see boot option to select OSX or Windows when I boot.
I can only select Windows. I can not boot to OSX.
How can I restore OSX?
I don't want to lose data in Mac.

Do a backup.
The first thing you need to do is sort out which partition has what on it and how many partitions you want to keep.. Then boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R or hold down option key) and restart. Use Disk Utility to set the number of partitions you want. If everything is really messed up, you might want to erase the entire disk and then reset the partitions. I would run Disk Utility Repair Permissions and Verify before installing. Then reinstall the OS on the partition you want. If you erase the drive then reinstall Boot Camp/Windows.

How do I get itunes to add another ipad. Get gray screen.

How do I get itunes to add another ipad. The second ipad was set up on same computer as i am trying to manage music, but I get a gray screen and itunes won't allow me to manage any music, movies, aps, etc. all screens turn gray.

I'm afraid that the iTunes Store checks the feed when it gets round to it: as you've found it's usually in the order of 1-2 days, and there is nothing you can do to alter that.

I updated to IOS 8 but my C drive is out of space i couldn't restore my data back; how could move itunes with backup to another drive
or what could i do

There are two solutions . . . I run my iTunes Library off an external hard drive. However, this may limit the portability of your library. Though a La Cie Rugged external would help with that (I love mine, though I use it for diagnostics and repair, not for iTunes--but it does get around).
You can also upgrade your hard drive as was previously suggested. I've bought my recent hardware from: http://www.powerbookmedic.com
They have lots of parts and great manuals!
Good luck!

Upon Removing Ubuntu, How can I Extend the C and D Drive in Windows 7?

Upon Removing Ubuntu, How can I Extend the C and D Drive in Windows 7?
Previously, my Computer had Windows 7 and Ubuntu as a dual Boot. I followed some online instructions on how to Delete Grub (Ubuntu's Startup Boot Menu) and Ubuntu Partitions (<edited>) and it worked. I wanted to expand my remaining C and
D Partitions, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.
Windows 7's Disk Management shows my Laptop's only Disk divided into 3 logical drives ( i.e., the Recovery Drive, C, and D Drives). The Order of the Drives is Disk 0 is:
1.46 GB - Recovery Drive
53.71 GB - C Drive
42.79 GB - Free Space
191.19 GB - Drive for my Personal Data/Files
8.93 GB - Unallocated
NOTE: The Free Space and D Drive have a Green Box around them.
I would like to take the Free Space and Unallocated Space and apportion it between the C and D Drives., as stated prior, I'm not sure how to do this. Do you have any reliable and
preferably free options?

Hi Bobby Marlee,
Please share us a screenshot about disk management.
If my understanding is right, you want to extend the C and D drive by using the free space and unallocated space.
If you want to use Disk Management to extend the drive space, I think we need to back up the files and delete Free Space, Drive for my Personal Data/Files, and then extend C: drive and create D: drive by using the Unallocated space.
For more information, please refer to the following article.

How to restore documents after a clean install when location is not known?

I have had some troubles with my computer recently and the person at the genius bar said I should wipe my drive clean and include everything except my library folders and system folder. The only thing I don't know how to restore is documents that aren't stored in a known location in the finder. What I mean is programs like LittleSnapper or Macjournal that have their files contained with the application (in another words I don't go to the Finder to save or open these documents.)
I did a search for some files from "Things" and it looks like these get stored under the library. Therefore if I choose to not restore the library (like the Genius said) wouldn't I lose access to these files?! LittleSnapper appears to save it's files in a hidden folder on the hard drive called "private". How can I restore that folder if I don't even have access to it?
Do I just export the files from these programs to the finder and then reimport them later? "Things" doesn't even appear to have a way to export it's files that I know of.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide in this matter.

"No program keeps stuff in the private folder."
The reason I thought that is if you open a LittleSnapper screen shot in Photoshop or where ever and then command click on the windows title it shows the private folder on the file's path.
"Before you do reformat, try creating a new user account. See if you're problem still exist within that new user."
Yes I still have the problem with the new user account.

How to use "sequence" after we add new data ?

Dear all :
Could someone tell me how to increase the number after we add new data and put the number into one field per time ?
Thank you

In the Initial Value property for an item on a block, you can assign it to a sequence value. Just put the name of the sequence in the Initial Value:
Specifies the default value that Form Builder should assign to the item whenever a record is created. The default value can be one of the following:
Here's the part of the help screen for Initial Value that shows how to assign a sequence.
     raw value (216, 'TOKYO')
     form item (:block_name.item_name)
     global variable (:GLOBAL.my_global)
     form parameter (:PARAMETER.my_param)
     a sequence (:SEQUENCE.my_seq.NEXTVAL)

How to restore RMAN hot backup to another database on another server?

I want to know how to restore RMAN hot backup from production server to another database on a testing server.
The hot backup is from a database named PROD on the production server
The database to be restored with the hot backup is TEST on the testing server. There is already a PROD database on the testing server and this PROD database must be kept.
I have read some threads about changing initTEST.ora to PROD to restore such backup but (I think) will not work in my case since I already have a PROD database on the testing server.
The version is 11gR2 on Linux but the compatible parameter is set to 10.2.0.1.0.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Since you are on 11g, hope this helps you http://shivanandarao.wordpress.com/2012/04/28/duplicating-database-without-connecting-to-target-database-or-catalog-database-in-oracle-11g/

How to restore photos after i tried to delete them, they are still there

I tried to delete some photos to give me room on my start up disc. First I tried saving them to a thumb drive then tried deleting the pix. The photos come up blank but I still see them sometimes. how do I restore them completely.
part 2 what is the best way to store them off the hard drive?

assuming that you deleted them in iPhoto to totally remove them empty the iPhoto trash and then the system trash
to move your entire iPhoto library to an external drive
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
How to restore them - if you deleted tehm in iPhoto open the iPhoto trash and right click on them and restore to library

How can I disable the session restore feature after I have closed the broweser window myself?

I don't want to disable ANY other feature at all (e.g. restoring session after a crash), I only want when I close Firefox and restart it to start new on my home page, without any restored tabs whatsoever. I have tried everything on about:config and it won't seem to do the trick.
This is a big privacy concern and I'm really puzzled why Firefox was programmed this way without an easily accessible option to change it.

hello kayjay76, this sounds like a problem caused by some sort of adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

[SOLVED] How to Restore Folders/Files from a Hard Drive

I broke my system today; it won't boot into any run level. Rather than try to fix it, I'd like to just pull off the 4 or 5 MB of files that are on the hard drive. The partition they are in was formatted XFS. I have the 2008.06 ArchLive CD - is it possible to access files from the hard drive after booting with an ArchLive CD? If so, I could just scp them to an external server. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You should be able to mount the partition once you've loaded up the live CD. Just figure out which one it is by using
fdisk -l
then mount it to /mnt or wherever you want it.
As for moving/saving them, I'm not entirely sure how to get them onto an external server. You might have to mount another partition in order to install any apps that you need to connect to an external server, but wait for someone who really knows to answer before you try it. If you're only talking about 4 or 5 MB, I would just mount a USB stick and dump them on there.

How to install osx on an external hard drive

Hello,
I am using a mac mini and i would like to run osx and logic studio from the external hd, it is an acomdata 500gb.
Please help,
thanks.
Alex

Do I have to save these 35gb of documents somewhere and format the external hd to a completely erased state or IS there another way around it?
Yes, first move that stuff out to another drive. I assume they're there because you don't have room on the internal, which is overflowing. Then move them back once the external is cloned. (But that will mean those 35 GB, or anything else you put there afterward, won't be backed up. This is the inescapable problem of using a backup drive larger than the internal.) Formatting and partitioning the new external drive, which is necessary, will erase it. Or, another option would be to create a separate, data only partition just for that stuff and more like it to come. But that also can't be done without first formatting/erasing the drive. But, note, once you make a partition in Tiger, you can't go back and change your mind and re-do it.
After the first full clone, you can choose to do "incremental," "delete" backups with CCC, but you choose the option "Protect root-level target items." Read about "Protect..." here
