I installed windows 8 using bootcamp but can't get back to the apple side. The windows side can not find the bootcamp app

I installed windows 8 using boot camp assistance. I finished and it looks like windows installed successfully. When I search for boot camp. It doesn't find it. When I restart the computer it comes up in windows. How do i get back to the apple side?

You did made a backup before you started all of this with BootCamp, didn't you?
One missed step with BootCamp and the whole Mac side of things can disappear.
I thought a Recovery boot and Disk Utility would be the quickest way to find out what you did.

Can't get back to Mac OS X after windows 7 install

I have a Macbook (aluminum one, not a pro)with leopard OS X and have gone through the process of creating a 60gig partition and installing windows 7 32bit ultimate edition on it using boot camp. After the installation process and several restarts, it seems windows 7 works great... The problem is I have no idea how to get back to OS X.
When I restart the computer it gives a gray screen for a moment then a black screen with a white blinking cursor, it flashes to the typical windows OS selection screen for about 1.5 seconds then boots up in windows 7. I have spammed the up arrow key to make sure that I am able to interact with the DOS OS selection screen and windows 7 is the only one shown.
I am completely lost as to what to do about this. My Leopard OS disc is long gone, I have an .iso of it saved on my Mac partition but I don't know how to access that either.
If anybody could help me out I would be ever grateful. Thanks in advance.

Windows 7 has a hidden task bar at the bottom of the screen. It really isn't apparent especially if you have not used Win 7. This is not the power looking icon in the lower left, move the cursor to the lower right side and the task bar should appear.
Then, as with other windows versions, there should be a shortcut that allow you to access Bootcamp. Once in the bootcamp window you can select to reboot back to the Mac OS.

I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4, when i plugged it into my pc a skull came up instead of the apple icon. My pc does not recognise the iPhone, I have tried everything that I can think of. Has anybody any ideas on how I can fix this?

I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4, when I pulg it into my pc a skull icon appears instead of the apple. The pc also does not recognise the iPhone. The phone was originally purchased in March of this year, so it is under 12 months old. Has anybody encountered this problem and or know how I can fix the phone? Thanks

You have apparently purchased a jailbroken phone. You can try to get it into recovery mode, then restore as new, but no guarantee it will work.

In my music i have lost the column right with the alphabetic order ... how can i get back ?

in my music i have lost the column right with the alphabetic order .. how can i get back ?

Hello Camcam369,
It sounds like you are not seeing the alphabet listed on the right when perusing songs, artists, or albums in the Music app. I recommend a couple of steps you can take to get it back.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPod touch:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Music app, I recommend restarting your iPod and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPod touch:

I hope you guys can giv me some support here since I am Apple genuine buyer. I could be wrong last time and now I turn over a new leaf and learn a lesson.
Please noted that I can always create new account to ask for the same questions without mention about "jailbreak" if I want to but obviously I won't do that. Please provide me your support! Thank you!

HELP! Can't get rid of blue apple menu

I got a new iMac for Christmas and I was trying to move bookmarks and such from Firefox to the new computer. I was following instructions through them using terminal. Now, I have this blue apple heading up the apple menu instead of the normal gray/black one and my finder isn't the same. I tried to start mail after a restart and it acts as though its the first time I had ever used it. Please someone help. I have tried to restart. But still the blue apple at the apple menu.
Please note - this is all done on my old PowerMac G4 Running OSX 10.4.11 not my new iMac. But I need to get more stuff off of it. And, in case you were wondering - It never did work to get my stuff from FireFox either. Going about it a different way - with an add-on. But really need to get my Mac back.
Also in the terminal window I am looking at the following:
[G4:~] tina%
Thanks in advance

OK - Here goes. I was trying to figure out how to transfer all my bookmarks, passwords, etc. from Firefox to my new iMac, as I use Firefox as my main browser. When doing the research, I came across these instructions.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferringdata_to_a_new_profile_-Firefox
In these instructions it said I have to create an new profile to copy to in doing this I have to open the Profile Manager. Which the instructions are here.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/ProfileManager#Accessing_the_ProfileManager
Basically on that page it tells me to quit Firefox, go to Terminal and type in
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -profilemanager
Which I did and nothing happened. It goes on to tell you that if it doesn't work then type it in without -bin. Which I did.
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -profilemanager
Again - Nothing happened. Being uncomfortable with Terminal (because I had never used it before) I said screw it and went to the File menu and chose Quit.
Well, when I started Terminal my Apple heading up the Apple menu turned blue exactly like the picture you sent me. What to do? In my mind a restart fixes everything. Not so. Did a restart and I still have the blue apple. In addition to that, my Desktop is different. Like my desktop pictures are not showing (they are all Pepsi) and it has gone back to a default one, my dock must be the default one as it does not have the applications I added to it (Firefox, Preview, Quicken, etc.) it is also anchored at the bottom of the screen, whereas mine was hidden on the right. It doesn't announce the time anymore, etc. I think you get the idea. The files on my desktop (documents, folders, etc) are there but when I tried to start Mail to check it - It acted as if it was the first time I ever started Mail - no mailboxes, and was starting to take me through the set up procedure. So I quit that and started searching online for how to get out of this terminal mess. I went back to terminal and tried entering 'exit' and it closed a window but nothing else. Then I had another thought - ONCE IN A WHILE when I restart my computer it goes to this black and white screen and says "Welcome to Darwin etc..." and tells me if I want to start up to enter 'mac-boot' or 'shut-down'. So I typed in mac-boot and it said command not found.
So, here I sit. My old computer hasn't been touched since then. I am doing all this on my new one. I don't even know if I can get online. I'm afraid to touch it. So- I can't really do a screen image. So, besides for my funky desktop that I have already told you about I am looking at a terminal window hat has "Terminal - tsch - 80x24" as the heading of the window.
Inside the window it says:
Last login: Wed Dec 30 07:58:20 on ttyp1
Welcome to Darwin!
[G4:~] tina% mac-boot
tsch: mac-boot: Command not found.
(On a strange note I wanted to mention that there are brackets around G4:~, but for whatever reason I noticed they did not show up on the original post I made here on the discussions,and I wanted to mention in in case they don't again).
As for your other questions: The machines are connected wirelessly. As I planned on moving most of my stuff via an external MyBook I use. At this point I have only moved my iPhoto Library this way. Then I stared with Firefox stuff. So my iMac is untouched by this Firefox nonsense. I will (hopefully) be able to get on my original FireFox account from my G4 and use an XMarks add-on (I wish I had found before all this) to sync my bookmarks and passwords to my new computer.
I have not used the disk utility yet- as you mentioned. I am just getting back at this this morning. I also have not did the list of commands you gave me. Call me a little gun shy - but do I type it in exactly as you have it written or do I not add the numbers and those are just there as steps for me to follow? Sorry. I am afraid to touch this machine.
One last note. My G4 has been on all night. I checked the display this morning and it hasn't changed and it has now going to sleep after cycling a few times. I am going to assume this is a default setting.
Thank you so much for your help on this. I am so confused. I had no idea that Terminal could cause such a ruckus. I guess I should have taken a clue from it's name. The people from Firefox act like it's normal operating procedure and no big deal to use this program. Lesson learned. Thank you again..I look forward to your next reply.

Post 10.3: Could not find the file "hw.kb" to install.

I'm getting this error on my 10.3 clients.
"Could not find the file "hw.kb" to install"
I think this is the April PRU...I have applied the post 10.3 fix and this is still not working :/

This was not related to the 10.3 update, atleast not directly.
I deleted the April PRU in system updates, checked for updates, and reapplied.
This solved my issue.

Disabled? You got locked out of the passcode on the lockscreen? If so, you need to put the ipod in recovery mode and restore. Here is a guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (os x snow leopard) using bootcamp. I can't get back to my mac now. I've tried logging off of windows and shutting it down. when i restart it comes back on in windows. How do I get back to my os x?

Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (Mac OS X Snow Leopard) using bootcamp. Windows 7 works great, but I can't get back to my Snow Leopard. When I log off or shut down Windows and try to start up again, all I get is Windows. How do I get back to my mac operating system?

If your Mac is off then start up. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Mac and Windows Disks show up. Then click on the Mac disk and the arrow below it. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.
If you are in Windows then look for the Boot Camp icon on the taskbar. It will look like a gray box sitting on one corner. One of the options when you click it is to restart in Mac OS. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.

Installed Windows 7 on bootcamp but now my wireless mouse won't work when in windows. What can I do?

Installed Windows 7 on bootcamp but now my wireless mouse won't work when in windows. What can I do?

assuming it is an optical mouse (no ball etc.) then there aren't any moving parts involve in the motion detection
so there's a faulty component or connection
from what you describe it could be just a loose/broken connection, so if you know someone familiar with electronics see if they can open it up and have a look
