    I was trying to install windows using boot amp but now I can't boot my MacBook  pro again

    Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Boot Camp applet. In that applet there is a Boot Drive option. Select Mac OS X.
    Or restart the system and hold down the Option key for a few second. A Boot Menu screen will come up. Select Macintosh HD.
    Once in OS X go to the Sys Prefences, Startup Disk and select Macintosh HD Mt Lion 10.8.2 and click Restart then Restart again. the system will now restart in Mac OS X.
    To boot back to Windows do the same, Startup Disk, and select Windows then Restart and Restart again.

    Please reset NVRAM - Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs - Apple Support and OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM. You have Bootcamp settings in the nvram that are causing problems.

  • HT201456 I have tried to install Windows 8.1 64 on my new Mac Book Pro from a full install disc.

    I have tried to install Windows 8.1 64 on my new Mac Book Pro from a full install disc. When I get the the choice of partitions to install Windows 8.1 on the Windows installer says that the Bootcamp partition is not valid.
    Has anyone encountered the same issue?

    BCA creates the partition as FAT, which the installer needs to format.
    Please see https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2 for reference. Where does it break in your case?

    Open Activity Monitor by searching it in spotlight.
    Go to the app that you downloaded & quit it. If it won't quit then Force Quit.

  • I was trying to update iTunes to the 10.6.3 and it won't let me, help?

    I tried updating the new iTunes and ended up uninstalling iTunes by accident and now I am unable to reinstall it, help?!
    I'm using Windows Vista

    You might get more adept advice on the iPad forum.
    It tells you to do videos because they take up a lot of room, then pictures.  If you have tons of music on there, or other media then you can fill up a drive pretty quickly.  You'll have to do an inventory of how much is on there.
    I don't know anything about iPads but if they are anything like computers you need to empty the trash to actually free up space from deleted items.

  • My hp pavilion g4-2024tx's keyboard didn't work ,i cant type anything...please help

    i use win7 64bit

    Hey Tung, If your connect an external keyboard are you able to type? I would first give it a good cleaning to make sure there is nothing interfering with it. A can of compressed air usually works wonders or a air compressor if you have one handy.  If this does not work try a hard reset:  Disconnect all external devices firstRemove AC powerRemove the batteryPress and hold power button for at least 20 seconds Reinstall your batteryPlug in the PowerTurn on the computerLet me know if this helps! Sean

  • Trying to install windows through bootcamp - now i'm screwed...

    Ok so bought my very first mac yesterday and it has been a joy for the first 48 hours...sarcasm. I was trying to install windows xp - sp2 on my mac that has the latest and greatest version of leopard on it. Used boot camp to set up partition and was prompted to insert windows installation cd...all seemed to be running smoothly...until: the installation "completed" said that it needed to reboot to complete installation and that if there is a floopy disk in drive a:, to remove it. (***? there is no floppy disk on macs anymore...) so my computer will restart and goes to a page that says to press any key to boot from cd...ok 1)if I do press a key it leads be through the entire installation all over again and then reboots and we start again with the press any key to proceed with installation part...or 2) don't press any key and the it says "disc error, rebooting computer". so I thought that maybe i should just use parallels instead of bootcamp until I could research a bit more, but now since i can't get the computer on, it won't eject the cd - and unlike a pc, there's no button to make it eject no matter what...tried holding mouse key while shutting down and rebooting and it won't budge...
    can someone please help me?? (btw - i'm writing from my problem-less pc)...i really don't want to regret the mac...

    I'm a new macuser too (2 weeks). Try this. Turn off the compter and then, restart and hold down the OPTIONS key. A menu choice showing a hard drive should come up on the screen (and nothing else), this is the mac hard drive. Click on the arrow below the HD and it will boot into the MAC OS. Then, eject the CD from the mac OS. I think that should work.
    I didn't have any problem with XP installation in boot camp, used a 32 GB partition (thats the max for FAT32) and used fat32 so I could access windows files with mac programs.
