HT1461 can i use my OS X after installing windows 7 ??

can i use my OS X after installing windows 7 ??

Just to clarify, what Paul_31 and Barney-15E suggested are both temporary boot options. If you hold no key down, the Mac will continue to boot into Windows first.
To make OS X the default, you need to change the startup drive;
1) In the System Preferences > Startup Disk within OS X.
2) From the Startup Disk icon in the Windows task bar. This appear once you've installed all of the Boot Camp drivers.
3) Restart the Mac and hold down the Command+Option+P+R keys (known as zapping the PRAM). This will always reset the startup drive to the first bootable Mac OS partition it finds.
Once OS X is the default startup drive, then you can use Paul_31's advice to temporarily choose Windows to boot to.

  • Can't use the jai package after installing it

    when i downloaded the package it was an exe file that extracts the package and instals it.
    the default path for installation was c:/jbuilderx/jdk1.4.1 so i kept it like that and i got 3 files,
    jai_core ( i think this is the main package ) in the path C:\JBuilderX\jdk1.4\jre\lib\ext ,
    jai_codec in the same path ,
    mlibwrapper_jai in the same path ,
    but in my project when i write 'import' i can't find it anywhere so plz tell me what to do
    thanx in advance.

    take the JAI files and put them in the corresponding folders of your current Java installation, there isn't any classpath to them, so you cannot see them.

  • Can I use a USB drive to install windows 7 on my Macbook Pro?

    I currently have the Windows 7 iso on a usb flash drive.  I am running bootcamp 4.0.3, and there is no option to create a windows 7 install disk via usb drive.  Also I cannot download the Windows support software.  Is there a direct download to the drivers, or another version of bootcamp that would allow me to install via usb, like the MBA?  Or is there a way to work around this problem?  I don't have access to any writable CD/DVDs so the usb drive is really my only option currently.

    Copy the ISO to your disk and try using that to write the ISO to (another) USB device.

    download a free iso burning program for Mac (we used SimplyBurns Mac). That program runs you through the necessary steps to properly burn the iso file you need. After doing so, Bootcamp recognized the installation file and everything worked as it should.

    If for some reason you downloaded Windows from Microsoft instead of buying a package with a disc, you need to download the ISO version and burn it to a DVD. See this article on downloading the ISO: http://www.mydigitallife.info/windows-7-iso-x86-and-x64-official-direct-download -links-ultimate-professional-and-home-premium/ (Make sure you choose the ISO that matches the version you bought).

  • Sound quality is not as it used to be! after installing windows 8.1

    i have a hp envy 6-1002tx laptop which came with windows7 HB but i upgraded to windows 8.1 recently.
    since then the sound qualtiy is not the same as it used to be.. it's not loud any more. i have to keep the voulme at 100 to listen. while back when i was using windows 7, even on 60, it was loud enough to be aublible.
    i have installed the sound driver recommended by the HP site for my laptop.
    there is no support for windows 8.1 from HP.

    I completely agree!
    Not only that but if you look at the date of the audio driver, it was released almost a year before W8.1 came out!
    So, how can it be for W8.1?
    Just for kicks, try this driver from a very new model with the IDT audio...

  • Can't boot back into OSX after installing windows 8.1

    I have a late 2013 MacBook pro 15 inch with retina display.
    After I got windows 8.1 up and running  with a disk copy I tried to go back to the mac os side, but after I held down option/alt after restarting and clicked on the osx partition but all that happened was a white "no sign" showed on the screen and my computer began to boot back into windows.
    I don't know if all my mac stuff is gone, so should I try and use osx recovery?

    Try this first. Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.
    OS X Recovery

  • 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 can I return to use OSX (Yosemite) after installing Windows 8.1?

    How can I return to use OSX (Yosemite) after installing Windows 8.1?
    I cannot find Boot Camp on my iMac (late 2013) with windows installed. So I downloaded it, but I cannot run it because of an error (x64...). I tried to use my USB stick with bootcamp installed but nothing. When I turn my iMac on it starts automatically with windows. I tried to search it, but I found only the setup and it doesn't work. How can I get back to my APPLE iMac? How can I use OSX?
    Excuse me for the (maybe) uncorrect language, I speak Italian.

    Hello!
    You can start your Mac up with the [alt] (sometimes [option]) key pressed and you will get the Startup Manager.

  • Can I use the volume sliders after adding automation to tracks?

    After adding a whole bunch of automation to pretty much every track on my first real project on GarageBand, I started trying to mix, and it seems the volume sliders are all locked up on the tracks with automation. I really don't want to have to add a million more automation points just to mix the song properly, so if anyone has a solution, that would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Can I use the volume sliders after adding automation to tracks?
    no

    you can select all the points by clicking in the header, and then drag them, though

  • Cannon MP830 can't use the scanner function after upgrading to Mavericks.

    I have an Cannon MP830 and now I can't use the scanner function after upgrading to Mavericks.  Can someone help?

    There is no ICA driver for this model so you won't be able to use Image Capture or Preview. But there is a TWAIN scanner driver and the supporting MP Navigator application available for 10.8 from Canon, so you could try installing these and see if you can scan again.
