Mac OS can't find my partition

Having a little boot camp issues.
I had an existing 32g partition that I was using to run Windows XP. I figured I'd wipe it when I upgraded to Win 7, so I removed the partition, via boot camp assistant. No problem.
Then I wanted to make a new one. I made another 32g partition, and found out Windows 7 needs to be NTFS. While there aren't any direct settings in Boot Camp assistant to specify, I figured I should try one more time and make one over 32g. But now, assistant can't delete the partition and sends me to try it in Disk Utility to reformat in the Mac OS (Journaled?). I tried in there, but it's telling me I need to reformat too.
Now, I have to hold down option to stop from booting in my non-existant boot camp (I get dos prompt looking for the boot disk) and Mac acts like I don't even have a partition. But when I try to extend my mac's side to overlap the partition in disk utility, I get this:
Partition failed with the error:
Could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed
Whew, any ideas?

Still no luck. According to the windows installer, I have a few disks:
Partition 1":EFI" 200 MB, 181 free (a system? drive)
Partition 2 563.9 GB, 0.0 free (primary)
unallocated space 32.1 G
When I tried to install in unallocated, I got the warning:
"Selected disk is of the GPT partition style"

Hi LamboMong,
just try this:
http://refit.sourceforge.net
install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
(The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
I hope that will solve your problem.

Mac mini can not find the NAS

In my network I have a Mac mini, AirPort Extreme base station and a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo v2. Everything is connected by cable. The problem is that the Mac mini can not find the NAS. Mac mini is looking for wirelessly connected devices, type TimeCapsule. How do I get my Mac mini to find the NAS and set the NAS as a source of data storage?

I have a ReadyNAS and use it as a Time Machine destination with no problems, even over WiFi. The ReadyNAS and Mac are both on the same LAN (even though the Mac is on WiFi), please check to see if your WiFi is on a different LAN to the Ethernet side of things, I have my Airport set to bridging mode so both sides of the AirPort count as the same LAN.
Next you need to check you have actually configured Time Machine in the ReadyNAS, as shipped it is initially turned off. You need to go to the ReadyNAS web management interface (FrontView) and then click on Backup on the left, and then select Time Machine. You also need to make sure Bonjour is enabled for the ReadyNAS, this is accessed by clicking on Services on the left and then selecting Discovery Services, make sure all the Bonjour options are ticked on.

Have sansa mp3, Windows media player on old pc now want to move music(mp3) to ipod touch and Mac itunes can't find a way to do this

I have a Sansa mp3 which I used Windows media player to download music to. Family made the move to Apple. Now need to move mp3 music to itunes on Mac. Can not find way to do this. MP3 device does not show up when connected to Mac by USB. Please help!

In the iTunes folder there should be a folder saying "Import to iTunes". It is either in Music/Itunes or Music/Itunes/Media. Put the music you want on your iPod in this folder, start iTunes, and sync.

i have just purchased a mac. i can't find my music icon nor my picture icon in the finder folder how do i get them.

Not sure exactly what you mean by your, "finder folder."
However, in your Finder's preferences, under Sidebar, do you have Music and Pictures checked off?

HT1420 Feeling really stupid with my new MAC - I can't find the "Store" menu in iTunes as referenced in the support article on how to authorize a computer. Where is that menu option? I've looked all over the page, in my account, etc.

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

I can't find ios partition after installation of Windows 7 via boot camp. can someone help please?

I installed Windows 7 via boot camp and now I can't find my Mac partition. My commuter boots up to a blank gray screen and after several minutes the Windows partition starts. I don't know what to do. Can someone help me?

I tried to partition my Harddisk and now i can't find the partition and the space is lost.

The 100GB that I intended to create my partition on are lost and I can't find them anywhere. The option to merge two partitions doesn't even appear and I don't tend to restore my device.
Greetings

I'm guessing you mean Backup and not Restore so I guess you'll start backing up your files now, eh?
From what i've read, unfortunetely, if you bugger your partition then about the only thing you can do is reinstall the Mac OS again and start over. So now is a good time to buy a cheap external drive and start backing up for things like this.
If you down load the Boot Camp Installation Guide and look at page #12 I believe, how to delete the Windows partition or something similar, it will walk you through it step by step or if you can watch one of the video's on YouTube on how to Restore the partitions back to one for further information.
Good luck..........

I need to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for MAC, but can not find it online.

I upgraded my MACBook Pro to Yosemite and now receive an error message that I need to reinstall Acrobat in order to run updates. However, I can not find Acrobat 9 Pro for MAC online. Please help.

That is correct Steelgrrl you will want to locate your installation media and copy the installation files to a USB drive on a computer which does have an optical drive.
Alternately if you purchased from Adobe directly and choose the download option at the time of purchase then the download will be available under your account. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

I have training dvd's I want to copy to my mac os can't find a copy or burn icon help

I have a mac os x and want to be able to burn or copy for viewing a trainind dvd but can't find burn or import button. tried opening in quick time but couldn't open.
in dvd player there is no evident icon or button to rip or burn.

If you are using Lion the user Library folder is hidden.
Finder > Hold down the option key and click Go on the menu bar. Then open Libary from the list.
So User Library > Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates.
Finder in column mode is the easiest..

Aperture Web Gallery Uploaded to .Mac Site, can't find

Well, I uploaded my web gallery that I made in Aperture by clicking on the upload to web gallery button in aperture. It loaded them to .Mac but it's not like iPhoto 08 where you can easily find the gallery and email it to friends or change anything. It just dumps them online, and gives a url, but it doesn't link to your .Mac page under web gallery and so if you don't copy and paste the url that aperture gives you after you upload, then your screwed. I know the url, but my question is:
How do I put up a web gallery like they do in iPhoto 08, where I can just click a button and email the gallery, or email it, change the page, and all that neat stuff that Steve Jobs did in his speech? Do I have to get iPhoto in order to do all of that?
Thanks,
Lainey

Yes, it's an iPhoto '08 feature that they were demo'ing, not an Aperture feature.
(See the many other threads here on this very issue!)
