Just installed OS X updates and can no longer boot into Bootcamp

Just installed the latest updates for OS X Yosemite and now I can't boot to my Bootcamp partition. It doesn't show up in Startup Disks and it's not an option when booting while holding Option. The partition still shows up in Disk Utility but it no longer says BOOTCAMP, it now says disk04s. Is this fixable? I just wrote some data to that partition last night that I really don't want to lose and it hasn't yet been backed up. Thank you.

  • Installed 10.5.2 and can no longer boot (again)

    10.5.1 did the same thing to my install. The situation is virtually identical to what I've posted on previously (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1244135&tstart=0). After installing 10.5.1 my machine refused to boot. I get to the Apple screen with the spinning gear and nothing else happens. I managed to fix it (detailed in the other thread), but that process didn't work here, and frankly I don't know why that worked in the first place.
    The big issue seems to be that I'm running my installation exclusively from an external HDD attached via USB.
    If anyone has any insights they would be greatly appreciated. This is getting ridiculous.

    Should be impossible that the utility update would affect Vista.
    A) what happens? (no details)
    B) Safe Boot in Vista
    C) Vista DVD Recovery environment
    D) have you ever run sfc to verify or repair Vista?
    It sounds more like a partition corrupt.
    I keep Vista on its own disk drive, and w/ Mac Pro I think putting both on the same drive while it works, is less satisfactory.
    There was a Windows .exe Airport also. And did you notice the original update that was posted and available was pulled and then resurfaced?
    I wait 3 days before applying or installing firmware or software updates for OS X.

  • I recently installed itunes update and can no longer connect to network nor internet

    I recently (sept 2013) installed itunes update and can no longer connect to a network nor internet wired /wireless. I know it is not the gateway as other devices work. Please help. I am not very knowledgable so exact instructions will be most helpful.

    Try connecting your computer/laptop directly to the base station with an ethernet cable to one of the external ports and install your network settings. If it finds it there, it will find it after you've reloaded your network info to the base via the Apple Utility. Hopefully when you disconnect afterward, all will be fine. Be sure not to select "closed" network although Macs will login with no prolem, PC's have trouble doing so even with the network data stored in the internet settings.
    Good luck!

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?

    My screen sharing functionality did not show up in the dock with an updated icon.  It had a question mark- shows my connections but nothing works, I did make sure screen sharing is on and also connected to VPN.  Once I tried to launch screen sharing nothing happens.  Such an elegant solution in Mavericks not does not work. Ugh. Help!

    This is the post that got me set up- I too am running an older version at work vs. Yosemite. As soon as I followed is advice everything worked.
    Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?
    I believe the location of the "Screen Sharing" app has changed, which explains why if you had it in the dock it has been replaced by a ?
    Don't forget you can launch screen sharing (once your VPN connection is up) by typing in the Safari destination slot vnc://remotemachinename:portnumber  (omit the :port number if you are using the default VNC port, 5900).  This should launch Screen Sharing and put its icon in the dock.  You can drag the Screen Sharing icon to the left of your dock and it will hopefully remain there after you exit Screen Sharing, or you can right-click on the icon when it's running and select Options->Show in Finder to find out its new location and drag its icon to the permanent entries in your dock.
    Hope this helps; worked for me.

  • FreeBSD didn't install, i can no longer boot into Windows

    I unsuccessfully installed FreeBSD and I can no longer boot into an OS from the HD.  I attempted to install BSD onto the "G" drive below however the the install gave me some kind of storage error and I can no longer boot into Windows.  While going through the BSD installation process I opted to NOT install a boot manager (I incorrectly assumed that this would leave my existing boot manager intact).
    Here's how I was partitioned pre-FreeBSD (these are all partitions on the same SATA 80GB drive):
    C:\ Windows ME
    D:\ Windows XP sp1a
    E:\ Windows XP-64 beta
    F:\ Longhorn 64 preview
    [G]:\ unpartitioned 4GB
    [F]:\ uformatted 4GB
    H:\ NTFS Storage
    I:\ FAT32 Storage
    Before I attempted to install BSD, I used c:\boot.ini as my boot manager.  
    Now when I try to boot it says:
    Code: [Select]
    Invalid Partition
    Invalid Partition
    No /boot/loader
    FreeBSD/i386 boot
    Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
    boot:
    Invalid Partition
    No /kernel
    FreeBSD/i386 boot
    Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
    boot: _ 
    Has anyone else ever had this happen to them?  If so how can I reenable booting into Windows?

    Hi
    You got a prob I think, if you can boot a windows, MSconfig, startup options might restore the boot files.Only other thing is to try and either load a new windows and let it setup a boot file, or perhaps a win98 startup disk, and fdisk, then set active partiton, which will set an MBR.  But that would leave a load of work to do, I think I'd opt for an install of XP, and let it repair existing installation, and make a new boot file.
    Hope you don't need the info on disks.  If you do, I would install another HDD, load XP, then copy original Disk to save place.
    Good luck

  • Can no longer boot into Mavericks 10.9.5

    My problem is that I can no longer boot into Mavericks 10.9.5 on my mid-2012 Macbook Pro.  The problem arose suddenly without any known major changes to my software or hardware.  The booting process freezes with the apple visible and the circle below it spinning endlessly.  Every several seconds, the display very briefly gets brighter, then the circle starts spinning again and the process repeats itself.  It never gets to the user login screen.
    Other than keeping various apps up to date, I don't recall any recent major operating system or other major software updates, nor have I made any recent hardware changes.  I've searched a multitude of threads and and tried any number of fixes without success.  Here's what I've tried so far (and probably a few more that I can't remember): (1) Repaired the startup disk with both Recovery HD -> Disk Utility and single-user mode -> /sbin/fsck -fy; (2) Repaired the startup disk permissions with Recovery HD -> Disk Utility; (3) Reloaded the Mavericks 10.9.5 operating system twice; (4) deleted /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist; (5) reset PRAM and NVRAM; (6) booted with "D" pressed and ran the Apple hardware test, which ran for about 40 minutes and reported no problems; (7) tried booting from a bootable clone of Mavericks 10.9.5 on an external hard drive, which also failed at the same place with the apple showing and the circle below it spinning endlessly.  ***Oddly, I am able to boot from a bootable clone of Mountain Lion on an external hard drive.  It's Mavericks that won't boot.***
    Here is the part of the system log the repeats itself over and over and seems to correlate with the repeated failed attempts to complete the booting process.  Any help would be appreciated beyond words:

    Hi
    You got a prob I think, if you can boot a windows, MSconfig, startup options might restore the boot files.Only other thing is to try and either load a new windows and let it setup a boot file, or perhaps a win98 startup disk, and fdisk, then set active partiton, which will set an MBR.  But that would leave a load of work to do, I think I'd opt for an install of XP, and let it repair existing installation, and make a new boot file.
    Hope you don't need the info on disks.  If you do, I would install another HDD, load XP, then copy original Disk to save place.
    Good luck

  • After installing latest OS update I can no longer print from my iPad to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer.  Any suggestions?

    After installing latest OS 5.1 update I can no longer print to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer?   Suggestions?

    Installing the new os may have tricked one of the three devices involved.  If it used to work, it will again.
    Reboot the printer.   Reboot the router.  On the pad, general, reset, reset network connections. 
    Make sure all the devices are on the same wifi network.   Talk nice to it.

  • I just installed ios 8 update and now my email won't open and I can't receive calls.  All of my apps have been updated.  How can I fix this?

    I have an iphone 5 and I just installed the latest ios update and now I can't open my email app and I can't receive calls.  All of my apps have been updated.  How can I fix this?

    Try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If it still isn't working, then restore the phone.

  • Just did a Firmware Update and can't receive or send mail

    I just did a firmware update as recommended by Apple:
    2008-04-13 18:30:24 -0400: Installed "Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update" (1.0)
    2008-04-13 18:30:32 -0400: Installed "iMac EFI Firmware Update" (1.3)
    I had restarted my iMac and noticed that my Mail 3.2 will no longer connect to my mail servers and send or receive mail.
    My internet connection is fine when using my browser. I closed and restarted "Mail" and this didn't help and even restarted my computer but that didn't help either.
    Anyone else that just did this update have a similar issue? Anyone know of a fix? I don't think I can undo the Firmware update now, so what do I do?
    Thanks

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Delete and re-add the email accounts.

  • Just installed Mavericks for mac and can't print accurately.

    I just installed Mavericks 10.9 on my iMac and now the printer colors are totally wrong as in not in the image!!  I did contact Epson ( I have an Epson WF 3540) and we updated the driver.  They said the problem is with the applications,  ie. Photoshop and/or iPhoto.  I did run the necessary utilities re ink and print head cleaning.  Any suggestions?

    Yes, I seem to have solved my initial problem but found another, I 
    can't to set the paper size. I often use the Custom Paper Size 
    dialogue. I'll keep updating my drivers and hope for the best. Epson 
    must be getting bombarded with complaints. Thank you for your help.
