Mac HD no longer shows up in Vista

I installed the bootcamp update that is recommended before upgrading to Windows 7. However, my Windows 7 upgrade was unsuccessful due to my existing version of Windows (evidently Vista Ultimate cannot be upgraded to Windows 7 Home edition).
Anyway, I resorted to a Vista Service Pack 1 instead. Everything works fine EXCEPT I can no longer browse to the Mac HD when I'm on the Windows side. I suspect it has something to due with the bootcamp update that was intended to ready the computer for Windows 7.
The bootcamp update clearly says "This utility safely unmounts the read-only Macintosh volume on Microsoft Vista"
My question is... how do I get it back?

OK, I fixed it. I simply inserted the Mac OSX install DVD while in the windows side and clicked "repair" bootcamp.
Mac Hard Drive is back and browseable.

T60P Fingerprint No Longer Showing up in Vista

I was getting an error after I logged in to Vista involving the fingerprint software, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. I no longer get the error, but I also do not get the option to use fingerprints when I log in or when coming back from having the screen locked. The icon is not on the screen. I have reenrolled my fingerprints and that did not help.

OK, I fixed it. I simply inserted the Mac OSX install DVD while in the windows side and clicked "repair" bootcamp.

Display Problem: Mac Mini no longer shows up on my Hitachi TV

Everything had worked just fine for a couple of months and then I started importing a bunch of my CDs. During this process, I did something that made the desktop image from the mac mini larger than that of the TV (So I couldnt see the upper menu and the lower one was partly cut off.
To try to fix it, I went into the display preferences menu and chose a different resolution (I think was something X something interlaced). When I did that, the screen faded black and I couldnt see anything. For a while, I could see the initial load screen for the mini, but the desktop would never show up and my TV would just say No Sync. Signal.
Any thoughts? Thanks a ton for your help.

hermanherman, welcome to Apple Discussions. Generally when this type of issue crops up it can be corrected by starting up in Safe Mode. To start the mini in Safe Mode, after pressing the mini's power button, immediately press and hold down the Shift key on the keyboard until you see a message on the display that Mac OS is starting in Safe Mode. When you see that message you can let go of the Shift key. Hopefully you will have a useable screen at that point. Go into Displays preferences and select your desired resolution. Then restart the mini normally (don't hold Shift) and hopefully your last resolution setting will persist and you will have your screen back.
By the way, what you were looking for in the first place is an "Overscan" check box within Displays preferences. This controls whether the edges of the Mac desktop will be beyond the borders of the screen or not. Good luck.

My playlists no longer show up on iPhone 4s or Mac TV.

My playlists no longer show up on iPhone 4s or Mac TV.
I'm only syncing, physically, from my desktop. I don't use iTunes Match.
This seems to me a recent problem for me.

Hello Yeit,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like neither your phone nor Apple TV 1st gen are getting the playlists synced to them from iTunes.
If that is the case then I do not think the issues would be to do with either of the devices themselves, so we should look at the iTunes library itself.
First I would check to see if the checkboxes to sync your playlists are checked in the Music tab of your device when it is selected in iTunes.
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and click the device button in the upper right corner. (If you are viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.) Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
You can configure the different content types in each tab. For example, Movies under the Movies tab.
To sync, click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen.
From: iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
If so they are all checked, I would next restart the computer, Apple TV, and iPhone and try again.
If the issue persists next I would recreate your iTunes library.

I went to Notes. Showed all notes. Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud. I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed. It did. I deleted the other two notes. I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts. The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account. The warning comes up: This will delete all IMAP notes on your device. Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad?

I replaced the battery on my RAID card, when I booted my mac pro up, I get the folder with the question mark. I used a boot USB drive to boot and when I looked in the RAID utility, my RAID 5 volumes were no longer showing, advise.

Not sure if I'm following you. I have 4 hard drives installed on my Mac Pro. I had a RAID 5 configured and functional for about 5 months. My battery died on the RAID card. I replaced the battery, seated the RAID card back in the slot I removed it from. When I booted to the USB drive to look in the RAID utility, I could see the battery is charged but my volumes are not showing.
The drives don't show in disk Utility. I built the RAID with the RAID Utility and they did show there. I have a early 2008 Mac Pro, Mavricks OS running Mac Server

Doesn't sound like any hard drive failure to me - more a Finder preference.
Finder -> Preferences -> General -> Show these items on the desktop -> Hard disks
The startup disk is sometimes treated differently from other disks (such as external and network disks) and I'm guessing this is a simple preference setting, although I might be wrong.

XP no longer shows up as a startup disk

After upgrading to leopard today, my XP partition no longer shows up as a startup disk.
I had/have my windows partition on it's own drive that was NOT created with bootcamp. I pulled my osx disk from the my mac pro and installed windows on the disk i had in bay 2 using 100% of the disk (ntfs). after installing the bootcamp windows drivers, i reinserted the osx disk and all has been well for the last 4 months,... until the upgrade today that is.
Now, when i go to the 'Startup Disk' preference Windows is no longer an option. the disk still shows up in Finder and I can navigate around the file system.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can get it to show up again? I'd really rather not have to reinstall if i can avoid it.
thx.

I have exactly the same problem (well, maybe).
I have installed MacFUSE and ntfs-3g. I don't know if this is of any relevance, because I don't know if it was working directly before I installed them.
I have my OS X and NTFS volumes on the same physical disk. I also had to install Windows twice because I buggered it up the first time (formatted the partition as FAT32 and ran into a bunch of disk errors).
I also notice that in WinClone I have 2 Untitled Volumes at /dev/disk0s3 and /dev/disk1s1. /dev/disk0s3 seems to be the legit Windows NTFS partition, but I have no idea what /dev/disk1s1 is about. I don't know if it's been there all along or not but perhaps it is confusing matters and stopping the legit Windows volume/installation from being detected...? Should that second volume exist at all? It doesn't exist according to the Disk util.
edit: I used fdisk just to have a look at the two untitled partitions.

I can hold the option key upon startup and manually enter Windows like that, but I'd prefer to be able to restart and boot Windows without having to hold a key.
Apart from not seeing the Windows boot volume in the system prefs pane, Boot Camp (and the rest of Leopard) has been excellent. I am impressed at the level of apple hardware support for windows. It seems to be much better than most native PC hardware.
I am dying for an answer. It's a fairly minor problem in the grand scheme of things, but **** it's frustrating.

Windows Partition No Longer Shows Up After Accidental Premature Closing of Camptune

Mac OS X 10.7.5
I was running Paragon Camptune to expand my Windows 7 partition. The progress bar reached the end and stayed there for about 30 minutes. The Camptune window was then accidentally closed and Camptune quit itself. I restarted the computer but the Windows partition no longer shows up when I try to boot it, only Mac OSX and Recovery Disk. The Bootcamp drive is no longer accessable from System Preferences, and the Bootcamp partition folder is no longer accessable in the Devices area of Finder. Camptune no loner recognizes that there was a partition. Thus, I am no longer able to access the partition's contents or delete it and make a new one.
It would be preferable if I could fix the partition and have it accessable again, however I have no problem with deleting it and making a new partition. Any advice? Thanks for your time.
Here is the information from the Partition Inspector:

Hi Eric,
Bootcamp does show up in the disk utility but it is grey instead of black like the Macintosh HD.
The following information is available:
Mount Point: Not mounted
Format: Windows NT File System (NTFS)
Owners Enabled: -
Number of Folders: -
Capacity: 274.55 GB
Available: -
Used: -
Number of Files: -
What might be the best way to continue to repair it. I do not have the option to click on "verify disk permissions" or "Repair Disk Permissions".
Should I clone the hard drive in the target disk mode??
I'm not the best at this stuff so any more advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

My WD external hard drive will no longer show up on my Macbook pro.

My WD external hard drive will not longer show up on my macbook pro. The light turns on and you can hear it running but it won't show up either in finder or in the disk utility. This happened a while ago but I really want to get all my photos off the hard drive. Is there anything I can do to get my computer to read it again or get my data off of it?
I don't have access to another Mac to test it.
Thank you

After updating Apple TV from 1.1 to 2.0, no longer shows up in iTunes 7.6

My Apple TV was working fine with sw ver 1.0 and then 1.1.
After updating it to sw ver 2.0, it no longer shows up in my
iTunes 7.6 on my Powermac, running the latest Tiger updates,
10.4.11
I've been following the trouble shooting guide, and have power
cycled the Apple TV. I've ensured that the Firewall allows
iTunes, iPhoto, and Bonjour (UDP 5353) through. I've tried
disabling the Apple firewall.
I have not yet power cycled my computer, because it is busy
running iPhoto, importing my photos. I have not yet removed
and reinstalled iTunes. Will do both of those after iPhoto
finishes importing.
Any other suggestions?
Thank you,
Chris Shaker

Got it working!
Besides the Apple specified debugging items for ATV not showing up in iTunes,
I ran disk warrior on my disks, and repaired the permissions on my boot disk.
At some point, ATV running 2.0 showed up on iTunes. Then, it went away, and
would not come back.
I restored ATV to factory defaults, sw 1.1. This time, it did not show up in iTunes.
Found that at some point NetBarrier X5 decided that the ATV was a computer attempting a DOS attack on my Mac, and decided to drop all packets from the ATV. Fixed that, and got ATV 2.0 working with iTunes 7.6

CCTV DVR No Longer Showing Images On IE9

Hi there,
I hope someone may have an idea as to what may be causing the below issue.
Our business has a CCTV DVR that we have been using via Internet Explorer successfully for over 12 months now.
However, since updating to IE9 on a few of our Windows 7 machines the images will no longer show, we can log into the DVR and all of the interface shows correctly it is just the camera images that will not show.
We have had success on only one PC using IE9, the difference being is that this PC uses Vista business and has an ATI graphic card (all the others that will not work have Nvidia cards including one Vista Ultimate machine)
As a test I formatted one of the Windows 7 machines and reinstalled Windows 7, then drivers etc before installing IE8.
I then logged into our DVR successfully and all the camera images streamed ok, after this I updated to IE9. When logging into the DVR now with IE9, again no images stream. The Activex is installed correctly and running or I would assume so as all the interface
loads and comms commands work (retreiving settings, copying footage from the HDD etc).
When we first got this DVR we did have this same problem and after speaking to technical support they got me to run dxdiag which shown that Direct Draw was not available, they advised me to update the display drivers on the PC which cured the issue (direct
draw then shown enabled and images streamed).
Although I would have thought display drivers would not be the issue as IE8 works ok updating them was one of the first things I did after the issue first appeared on IE9.
I have been in contact with manufacturer and they have said they will look into it but I just thought I would ask here incase any of you knowledgable folk may know what could cause this.
I realise this may not even be something to ask here also, it may be better answered on the Nvidia forums I just dont know.
The manufacturer has an online demo of the same DVR on their website so if any of you would like to see exactly what I am talking about you can visit this link: http://www.symphony-dvr.com/sections/demo/instruct.php
Just to recap and give you a bit more info on each PC here are the operating systems and graphic cards installed, all drivers have been updated:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit - Nvidia Gefore 6200
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Nvidia Gefore 6200
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS 512MB
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - Nvidia Gefore 8800GTS 320MB
Windows Vista Business - ATI Radeon 4600 (Only Working Computer)
Thanks for any help and if there is any more info needed just ask

Hi,
Thanks for the post!
In certain cases with some graphics card, Internet Explorer 9 may have performance or fidelity problems when drawing webpage content. You can try the following method to check if it works.
Open the Internet Explorer 9, press Alt, click Tools - Internet Options.
Click Advanced Tab, check the box "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering".
Meanhwile, please also ask this question in
NVIDIA Forum since you mentioned update the driver fix part of the issue.

Nano no longer shows up as device in itunes

My nano no longer shows up as a device in Itunes. Connection is good as it still charges, but nothing when I plug it in. Does not show up as device in windows either.

Until you fix it, make future purchases in itunes direct.
Are you using a different computer? Mac or Windows?
Which iTunes version?
Any security software potentially blocking access to AppleTV from iTunes.
AppleTV1 as you know has 2 modes - streaming and syncing. It has to be configured as a sync library for purchases to transfer to itunes and for you to sync to it. Synced content appears under My Movies etc. Streaming only content appears under My Shared Movies etc if a sharing libarry is configured.
You cannot copy purchases back to a shared itunes library only the sync library. Both sync and share connected AppleTVs however should appear under Devices in itunes. Can you send a song to AppleTV from itunes using Airplay? The fact that you can buy on AppleTV means it's connected to the internet - it does not mean that it is connected with iTunes on your LAN - the 2 things are separate.
If you no longer have a sync library you would need to change exisitng settings which will delete current synced material but apparently (never tested so can't be sure) not non-backed up purchases.
Under AppleTV's Settings>Computers menu, the top entry is teh sync library - if this is greyed out then either it's no longer available (eg different computer) or AppleTV and itunes are not connected. If you select it and choose to remove it,you can re-add the AppleTV to itunes afresh - if itunes doesn't see the AppleTV requesting a pairing when you try this either there's a communication/network issue (hardware or software related) or perhaps itunes installation corruption.
Good luck.

Ethernet card no longer showing in ifconfig [solved]

Hey,
Normally I don't have any problems with my networking, but this morning my wireless decided not to work. I haven't made made any changes in the past couple of days, so unsure what has caused it. Last Syu was on Thursday and every day including up until last night was fine.
So spent a while trying stuff out and stressing my tiny little brain for ideas, quick version is I did this:
netcfg: said interface didn't exist.
ifconfig: didn't list the interface (wireless is usually eth1)
lsmod: confirmed the module (ipw2200) was loaded
lspci: confirmed the card was there
After copying the output of the above commands plus the obligatory rc.conf onto usb to move to this machine (and just before pushing <submit> on a much larger post than this :-) I decided to check the mac address listed in ifconfig with what is on the sticker under my machine. Voila! My wireless has actually moved to eth0. OK, that's that solved. (Wish I checked that first though...)
But that means that the reason that my wireless card is now eth0 instead of eth1 is because my old-skool wired ethernet card is no longer there to be numero 0. Why isn't it working? lsmod shows that the tg3 module is loading (it's an Intel card with Broadcom chipset in a Thinkpad T43) , but it no longer shows up in ifconfig. lspci is not showing it (see below), only the wireless card comes up. Does this mean the hardware is borken? What else can I do to check the card?

Yeah, doesn't give me anything about the ethernet card, but does show the wireless one. No, hang on, just found it. Hmmm, didn't see it before, but I was grepping for 'net' then.
$ dmesg | grep -i eth
eth1: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95751M) rev 4101] (PCI Express) MAC address 00:12:34:56:78:9a
eth1: attached PHY is 5750 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1])
eth1: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1]
eth1: dma_rwctrl[76180000] dma_mask[64-bit]
OK, so it is at eth1 now, that makes sense since I put ipw2200 right at the beginning and tg3 right at the end of the MODULES array in rc.conf to avoid the system getting crossed up while trying load them too close together. Thanks B, so at least we know something is happening at boot time.
Btw, my assumption is that ifconfig shows hardware once it is loaded correctly, is that right? But apart from the modules, what else do I need to do to get it showing up in ifconfig?
