Hi I'm new to Mac & I have bootcamp on it but am stuck, how do I get from Mac side to the Window side?

Hi I'm new to Mac & I have bootcamp on it but am stuck, how do I get from Mac side to the Window side?

Hold the "option" key on boot. Choose the system to boot.
Then "System Preferences > Startup Disk" to select Max OSX as your default system.
There is another "system preferences" in the Windows menu that is added by bootcamp to make it the default, but I do not know the details of that.

How to I get my Mac to stop deleting the pictures off of my phone that I sync to the computer?

When I first uploaded pictures to my Mac from my iPhone, it asked me if I wanted it to delete the pictures off of my phone as they uploaded, and I said yes.Now, every time I upload pictures, all the pictures from my phone get deleted as they sync onto the computer. I cannot figure out how to stop this and IPhoto does not give me the option to change it. I want to be able to sync the photos to my computer without them being deleted from my phonee. Can anyone help me?

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

How do I get my mac to stop accessing the wrong version of the program?

When I got my iMac, I also got Works '06 and have been quite satisfied with it. I only use Pages, but when I upgraded iLife, there was a try out program of Works '08 and I thought I would give it a look see for Keynote. Unfortunately because it appears to be an LE program, I never really got into it and it just sits there. Only problem is if I happen to open the program be pulling up a recent document rather than starting from the applications. Then '08 is opened and I don't notice until I try to print and am informed that I am not allowed to do that. I moved '08 to trash, but when testing to open Pages with a document, told I couldn't do that because the app was in the trash. How can I eliminate '08 so that my docs don't look for it?
Thanks in advance,
AmandaPup

Amanda,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
If you saved any of the documents using Pages '08, then those docs will only open in '08. What you need to do with them is open them in '08, then do a Save As. At the bottom of the Save As dialog, you'll see an option to save as iWork '06. Choose this option. Once you're sure you've done this with all affected files, drag the '08 folder to the trash, then empty the trash. From now on, all Pages files should open in '06.

HT204085 How do I get my Mac to stop asking me for my keychain password! No matter how many times I enter it, it still keeps popping up! Very annoying and distracting. I DON'T WANT TO USE THIS CRAP!

No matter how many times I provide my Keychain Password, the pop-up window keeps coming back. Seriously annoying...I'd rather not use Keychain. Any way to just turn this crap off?

But now a couple of upgrade down loads later not so much. yes I can connect with screen share and can get the dvd player to play dvd's but still can't get itunes to use the superdrive. Iht exect disk icon in the apple menue bar use to open and close the super drive but now it reads "no disk" How can I get my mac mini to automaticly use the superdrive when i turn on the mac pro.
I've done all the easy things changing the order of start up and share settings and i sware it did work ok when i first hooked it up.

Mind you, booting off the external optical drive of another computer may not be practical because of the different operating system limitations of the computers. I would just purchase an external optical drive from http://www.macsales.com/ if you find it doesn't work.

TS2530 When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

The problem is that I burned these CD's myself from music that I added from my personal collection to iTunes. The INFO is ON the CD's (it appears perfectly when I put the CD in my Numark mixer...so I know the info is on the CD), but for some reason, my MAC PRO will NOT read the info on the burned CD when I place the CD into the MAC PRO. The CD was burned on a MAC that I no longer own. But there HAS to be a way to transfer songs from a burned CD with the INFO that is on the CD burned with iTunes.
PLEASE HELP!

How can i get my mac book pro to recognize a JVC camcorder?

How can I get my mac book pro to recognize a JVC camcorder using a Sony CAMERA USB cord??

Gotta say thank you — again. Sorry the posts were spread out over more than one location. I'll check and see if Third Party Software is considered a "peripheral", maybe that would have been a better single thread choice?
Definitely news we can use and the reference link is appreciated.
OT ~ We keep becoming more and more aware of how easy it is to lose one's bearings when it comes to keeping up with info tech. My husband and I are both official members of the geezer set and have been out of the work force for some years. You really do pick up so much just by being in the environment where people are using things to get work done. A couple of old MP3 players, PPC G5, and a vintage Inspiron 3800 that someone didn't want any more is about it. No cell phone, no iPod, no iPad, no home wireless network, no streaming media. Fixed income. So we do with what we can as long as we can. If we could get by without that Intel processor, we'd probably make do with what we've got. On the other hand, we've really wanted a notebook for a very long time and have to admit that needing to upgrade to accomodate my husband's project is pretty much just the "reason" we need. I really mean it when I say that we are beyond appreciative that users take the time to share info and patiently educate those of us who fall into the "slow tech" category.

How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV?

How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV? I currently do not have an HDMI device to connect it to, and the MAC is not listed on the box or the Apple TV itself.
(to answer the obvious, I am trying to pair it with an iPad, and I need to register the Apple TV for the network so the two can see each other)

As long as I know java doesn't have support to work on link-layer, only internet and transport layers. You may write simple native code. On windows, IP Helper functions, like SendARP allow you to pass an IP address and get the hardware address. You store the hardware address on your database/file and later, when that machine is off, you send a frame to the address you stored previous.

Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

I know nothing about your printer. However, to use it properly you must Add the printer in Print & Scan preferences.
See OS X Mavericks- Set up a printer. Also, consult the printer's user manual. With the proper setup the printer should print color or b/w automatically. If you have further problems you need to start with the printer HP's tech support.

How do I get my Mac version of Elements 12 work with my epson printer/scanner

HELP
How do I get my Mac version of Elements 12 to work with my Epson XP-510 in scanner mode using the get photo's function.
It does not show the scanner being available even though the scanner works with other programmes and will print direct from organiser to the printer.
Ron Steele

You must install the TWAIN driver:

However, it may still not work, since some scanners are not compatible with the 64-bit PSE 12. Epsons have the most problems, unfortunately.

How do I get my mac on thie internet?

I have a Preforma 6300CD Power PC, I also have a linksys wireless router, and a netgear 8 port gigabit switch. I have other computers on this network primarily linux and windows pc's. How do I get my mac to connect to the internet over tcp/ip connection? If I need an apple talk server; where can I get one that will run on a windows/linux pc that would share its internet connection with my mac? Im really lost here, and I would really love it if someone could tell me what i need to do, and tell me how to do some file sharing. Im sure once I can figure out how to get this mac on the net I probably wont have a problem with the file sharing.. One more thing I forgot to mention I don't know if it is important or not. My mac is running mac os 8 (do i need to upgrade this opperating system to reach my goal? I can only upgrade to system 9.1, and if that is the case will 9.1 do the job?).

Hi Shrek
You will first need an ethernet Card for your 6300,LC or Comm, you can get them cheap on ebay.
You can use internet configuration assistant should be within 8.0 to get to internet.
Connecting to PC: You can use a Farallon iPrint Ethernet -adapter to connect to Ethernet. You can use MacPCLan software:
