Macintosh HD not showing in after making partion of windows via boot camp

HI
I have a MacBook Pro  2012
recnently made windows 8.1 partition with bootcamp. Been using it for a week and it was fine
one of my colleague made a partion in the windows OS and we restared the computer and press the alt button to choose the OS and now it only shows Windows oS. The Macintosh and the recovery  icon has disappeared.
Tried to format the MacBook as they are not any important files. So went to disk utility by holding Command+R. And the in the disk utility It cannot detect the Macintosh Disk !!
any idea what is wrong.???

What exactly do you see in disk utilities? Do you see a main drive,such as 250 GB toshiba and then the windows partition slightly indented. Or only the windows drive? If you still have the main drive showing, you can click on it and erase it . Then go to partitions and set one partition click option and set it as a GUID partition. Go back set mac os extended journaled and then click apply. Then you can reinstall the operating system and use bootcamp to reinstall windows.

  • I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

    Please can you help!
    I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

    Starting a couple of days ago my mouse and keyboard stopped working suddenly.  
    How are they connected?   In my case they are wireless and their receiver is plugged into my USB hub.  After an update I found the OS inexplicably not recognizing my USB hub and hence any devices which were plugged into it.  My fix was to
    plug the receiver into a different USB port (so I could use the mouse and keyboard; otherwise I would have had to use the OSK via Touch or pen.)  Once I had normal access into my machine again I used Device Manager to remove all USB controller and
    hubs (including hidden ones) and I then shut down, disconnected all USB devices and powered back up, this time using only Touch to get going.  Once the OS had settled down I started plugging stuff back in the way that I wanted it to be recognized. 
    If I didn't have Touch I would have had to have left the wireless receiver plugged in both places which I assume would be OK.  I have no idea why updates have such a catastrophic effect for USB devices.

  • Uninstalling Windows via Boot Camp, still partitioning after roughly 1 hour

    Hi,
    This is my first post, but I'm a long time searcher. I usually find what I'm looking for, but in this case I thought best to ask. I hope I follow the correct etiquette!
    So today I thought I would have a go at installing Windows XP via Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro. To cut a long story short, I completely messed it up because I (stupidly) read SP1 instead of SP2 on the CD and essentially it didn't install anything from the boot CD's -- as you would expect.
    So after a quick panic I got back running in OS, and have now just tried to uninstall windows using Boot Camp, following the correct instructions, and after around an hour now it's status is still reading: Partitioning disk.....
    Is this to be expected, or is this wrong? Initially I only partitioned 32Gb for Windows as I didn't really want to do anything with it.
    I have done a few searches and got some mixed answers - ranging from it should be instantaneous, to it could take an hour.
    What should I do next?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well......First, I should say that although I've used Macs for many years I'm not an expert by any means. So, take my advice with caution.
    In some ways it seems like, without a full backup, you are sort of between a rock and a hard place =-( I'm not sure what will happen if you force quit the Boot Camp repartitioning. It might be o.k. and it might bugger up your hard drive and require you to reinstall everything. I'm not sure what effect "ejecting" the Windows partition would have.
    I guess at some point you're just going to have to do something. When I get to a point where I am in a situation like you are I search the Internet for as much information as I can get. If I can't find a specific answer to my problem at least I usually get some idea of what to try. Then I just go ahead and start trying things. When you get into that situation it is much less stressful if you have a complete backup. (It's really worth spending the money to buy an external hard drive and start using Time Machine to make a backup.)
    I know that my answer is not much help. Sorry about that. Maybe someone else will chime in with some more useful information. If they don't I guess that you're just going to have to take a plunge =-(

  • Why is it not showing anything after I plugged in my USB hard drive? I cannot locate the drive in my macbook. FYI this happened after few times using it.

    I need help as I am new to IOS.
    Currently it is not showing anything after I plugged in the hdd to my mac book.

    I had the same exact issue, which you can see in another forum.
    I "killed" both my MBP and my wife's MBP by plugging in my iPhone and getting a  message about USB drawing too much power.
    It was not fixed by using an SMC reset.
    I DID fix it by unplugging the battery, I left it unplugged long enough to remove the RAM, HD and put some RAM and HD back into place. (I initially swapped the RAM and HD from my MBP into my wife's MBP.
    After that everything was good, although upon first boot, some apps crashed because of the "system date" being set to a date before 2000. I forget the exact date, but it will be some time in 1984, the birthdate of the Macintosh. It is not a big issue, just correct the date and time.
    If you are curious about that date, copy a large file on your drive and look at the CREATED/MODIFIED date....it will show this same date, until the copy is complete, at which time you will see the correct one.
    Once again, try to disconnect your battery, very carefully by lifting up the connecter evenly on both sides to avoid damaging the connector or the board.

  • OHS 11gR1 web-page not showing up after creation, registration of webgate

    Hello there,
    The OHS webpage on host:7777 is not showing up after I created, registered the webgate on oam 11g console. I copied the 2 artifacts into the ohs proxy server box in the webgate/config folder and restarted OHS instance but now, the ohs page won't show up. The opmn status says its alive but it doesnt show up in the browser.
    I have oam 11.1.2 installed with webgate 11.1.2 and ohs webtier 11.1.1.6.0. Am I missing any step? Do I need to create a authentication scheme before I check it? Please advise to the earliest convenience.
    Thanks!!

    Hi,
    You need to create authentication scheme. also create resourse for index.html page in OAM console and add it to protected resourse list. So when you will access OHS with 7777 port it will redirect to OAM SSO page, after successful login it will take you to the home page of OHS.
    mark, if this helps.
    Regards,
    Kishore

  • The templates are not showing up after I select them???

    the templates on pages are not showing up after I select them....unless I highlight the entire page and select a particular colour.  That leaves all the colours in the photo off.  Any help would be so very helpful.   

    CeraG - It will help to answer if you supply your system version, pages version and if you lately have done anything to the computer (installing, uninstalling etc)
    I think you have forgotten to do a Software update or it could also be a font problem but more info from you is needed!

  • I am trying to update a chart in Pages that I created in Numbers, but the refresh button does not show up after I save the Numbers file. Thoughts?

    I am trying to update a chart in Pages that I created in Numbers, but the refresh button does not show up after I save the Numbers file. Thoughts?

    It is hard to exactly understand what you have  done or not by you one sentence description. My thought is have you read in the Pages User Guide? Here is what it says about updating a chart in Pages:
    Updating a Chart Copied from a Numbers Document
    If you’ve created a chart in Numbers, you can copy it and paste it into your Pages document. After it’s been pasted into Pages, the chart remains linked to the data tables it references in Numbers. To change the chart data, open the original Numbers document and edit the data there, save the Numbers document, and then refresh the chart data in Pages.To update a chart after you’ve updated its linked Numbers table:
       Select the chart on the page and click the Refresh button that appears.
    Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart into your Pages document and after editing the Numbers data tables that the chart references.
    I hope it has helped you.

    IPOD model A1059 appears frozen and is unresponsive to all click wheel entries. Reset does not work.  Does not show up in ITunes or in Windows Explorer.  What is the problem and is there a fix?

    If you are unable to reset the iPod (assuming the hold switch is not in the On position either), then you'll have to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then connect it to a charger and leave it to charge for a couple of hours.
