No Windows Option on Startup

Does anyone have this issue? When I press the option key on startup, I only have the Mac OS option to startup. If I want to start up in Windows, I have to change the option in the preferences, then restart. AND THEN, change the preferences back in Windows (to Mac). I want my main startup to be Mac with having the Windows just "an option" during startup. Looking at all these other issues, I guess I can call myself lucky because it's not a terrible problem. Just wondering what the deal is.
Also, anyone know more info on the time/clock setup in Windows?

Had the same problem and I found the fix on another Apple board. I first formatted the Windows drive in Fat 32. That some times can make the Windows disk not appear on startup. So I removed Windows with boot camp,then reinstalled Windows in NTFS disk format, as the post said and now it works perfectly! Have zero problems.

After deleting Win at partition 3, there is still Windows option at startup

I bought an SSD, and hooked it with my old hdd to my system. There was a Mac and Win partition in my older drive. I erased system files, but couldn't formatted it because it has important info.
Now at startup, i managed to erase second Mac option and second Recovery option, but there is still a second Windows option, which linked to nothing.
My question is, how can i delete that obsolete option at startup? Is there anyway i can manually arrange that screen?

I'm talking about the screen when starting up the computer and pressing alt button. there has to be 3 options, mac, windows and recovery. instead there is 4th setting named windows, if i hit it, black screen and a blinking cursor appears and nothing happens. because i uninstalled that windows, but instead of formatting that partition, i just deleted windows files, because i have important info in that drive.
now, i want to delete that obsolete windows option at startup menu.

No Windows option in Startup Disk pane

I have Windows XP installed on one MacBook and Windows 7 on another. For both computers, I have no Windows option in Startup Disk pane of System Preferences. I know the work-around, but that is not what I like. I want to be able to choose Windows in the Startup Disk pane. How can I get OS X to accept Windows as a Straup Disk pane option?

I recently came across this too. I remember the Windows partition being an option before, but it went away. I've also got Macfuse and NTFS-3G installed on my system. It would be nice if I could select the Windows drive in the Startup Disc instead of having to hold down Option when booting up.
I've also noticed that sometimes when I'm in Windows 7, the Boot Camp icon isn't there. It was there a couple days ago when I was in Win7, but yesterday it was gone. I've got Macdrive installed on that partition. Wonder if there's a connection?

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed.

How do I rename windows in the startup screen (boot screen)

Hi
I have just replaced my HDD for a larger one and put the old one in the SuperDrive DVD bay (had a smaller one there before also)
I Cloned both the Mac side and the windows side using CCC and winclone an both seems to be cloned fine , however I do not want to erase(format) the old drive for a few weeks until 100% sure everything is working fine .
So my Question . As I have 2 HDD installed when I hit options at startup the boot screen appears with 2 Mac Partitions and 2 windows partitions ,
The Mac ones I just renamed on the mac side, ( 1TB mac and 500GB mac) and on boot screen those names show up .
but
The 2 windows bootcamp drives/partitions just are written WINDOWS , so I have no idea which is old one and which is new larger one , I have tried renaming in the same way , on my mac I have them show up on desktop and called Bootcamp 1 and Bootcamp NEW , but on the boot screen just called WINDOWS .
How can I rename one of these so both are not just named windows and have it show up on the boot/option screen ?
Thanks mark

Firefox 10.0.2 / Does not offer restore session - Tools/Options lack Startup options choice

After closing Firefox - starting again does not offer a Restore Session option. Tools/Options lacks any choice for startup options.
How do I remedy this problem.

The Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting should still be there.
Can you attach a screenshot of the Tools > Options > General window?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Windows option on Start Screen sen after OS X Reinstall

So basically, I have been trying to set up Windows 8.1 Pro through Bootcamp on my iMac. It has been a nightmare. I ended up reformatting and repartitioning my Internal drive (3TB Fusion) to factory settings. Now, even after a fresh OS X reinstall of Mavericks, the Windows option is still present when I restart my computer holding "option" to get to the startup screen. How do I completely get rid of any existence of Windows on my machine so I may begin the process of Bootcamp?

Open Link in New Window Option Not Working in Top Link Bar

Hello,
We have a 'Popular Links' section in our Top Link Bar for our intranet site that contains a list of frequently used links. Since most of these links navigate to sites outside of SharePoint, we would like these to open in a new tab or window when clicked.
I've enabled the 'Open Link in New Window' option under Site Navigation Settings for each link, however when a user clicks the links that have had this option enabled the content is still loaded in the current tab.
Is this the correct set of steps to enable this content, or is there a better way to accomplish this that actually works?

Mac OS 10.9 Maverick -- no "open in new window" option

Upgraded to the new Mac 10.9 Maverick and now there are no "open folder in new window" option, or at least it doesn't work. Please advise. Thanks!

What doesn't work? Please explain what it does.
If I right-click on a folder, then hold down Option, I can choose Open folder in New Window, and that does happen.
If you hold down command and double-click, it will open in a new Tab instead of opening the folder in the same window.
With more than a single tab,
If you hold down cmd-opt and double-click, it will open the folder in a new window.
Without other tabs, it closes the original window just like holding down Option.

Display in PDF Browser Window option

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Reader version 8.1.2, We deploayed the software to a number of users using the adobe customization wizard to disable the "Display PDF in Browser Window Option"
We now want to enable this option for a few users that require the option ticked so they can view a pdf from a certain website.
I have tried deleting the bBrowserIntegration in HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Reader
\8.0\FeatureLockDown
This enables the option to be modified but once I tick the box and close and re-open adobe reader it does not remember that I have ticked it.
Without re-installing adobe does anybody have any ideas what other reg keys could need to be modified.
Thanks,
James

We also deployed 8.12 to over 1000 users with the "Disable PDF in browser" option checked using the customization wizard. Now we're finding some users need it to view certain PDFs in a web-based application.
We would like to add the option, but removing the registry key doesn't actually install the option when you check it. It seems you might have to create a new mst then redeploy. We'd really like to not have to do that, if at all possible.
In the Reader archives, one guy suggested running this:
msiexec /i Adobe_Reader_8.1_MUI.msi ADDLOCAL=ReaderBrowserIntegration
I haven't tried that yet. Any feedback or other suggestions?

Page breaks and 'Fit Page in Window' option

This may seem a stupid question but indulge me: when I add a page break InDesign is only showing me the very top of the text frame on the page the cursor has moved to. How do I get InDesign to honour the 'Fit Page to Window' option when I add page breaks? Do I really have to keep hitting command-0?

It does like to go exactly to the first line of the next page. It's not very intuitive.
However, you can hold down Alt and scroll the page up.
Or while holding alt - click and hold anywhere on the page. It will zoom out. Move the red box where you want to Zoom to, then release the mouse.
Or you could press Return a few times then delete the returns.

Remove Private Window Option in Safari MacBookPro

Remove Private Window Option in Safari MacBookPro
Hello there,
I am trying to remove the Private Window Option in my Safari MBP Version: 10.10.3. I have found the following guide below, but I could not find the "MainMenu.nib" file. Is there a way to find this? Or is it possible to remove the Private Window option at all by not doing the below steps? Thank you!
Disabiling for Safari:
The following steps will disable private browsing on all accounts. Taken from: http://guides.macrumors.com/Safari#Disable_Private_Browsing (Note: you must have the Xcode tools installed - can get from App store):
Control or right-click on the Safari icon in Finder and choose Show Package Contents.
In the window that appears, navigate to Contents/Resources/English.lproj/ and double click on the MainMenu.nib file. (I cannot locate this file)
In Interface Builder (From Xcode,) select the window showing the Safari menu bar.
Select the Safari menu, then select the private browsing item and press delete.
Type command-S to save the changes, then close Interface Builder and restart Safari.
This removes the Private Browsing menu option, effectively disabling private browsing.

There were some means of customizing Safari through OnyX, a utility interface tool that
can be used to perform a variety of changes in OS X and a few of them could mess it up.
You can modify hidden features in the OS X by use of OnyX, instead of attempting to
perform some modification by command-line or Terminal; although the Man access
also appears there, too.
•Titanium Software - Home: (see OnyX)
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
A few command-line or terminal methods of changing how OS X works may be ill-advised
to attempt without learning more about how all of that works and also how to understand
the background system that changes when you mess with it. The GUI is the top layer.
Did you look into the Developer settings for Safari to see if that will change your windowed
options, without any external or deeper access to attempts to alter Private window view?
For me, I've not used Safari all that much, and not as default main browser in any of my Macs.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can I chnge the context menu "open in new tab / window" options back to the previous version (reverse order)?

In Firefox 4, the context menu "open in new tab / open in new window" options are in reverse order compared to 3.6. Can this be "fixed," i.e. change the menu item order? I use this feature constantly and it's a matter of habit, also still use some 3.6 machines.

You can use the Menu Editor extension to re-arrange the menus - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor
