Start up in MAc os when windows installed

Have loaded windows onto my Mac Pro. Will only boot up in windows and cannot change to Mac OS using command line as keyboard not recognising all keys e.g \ key. Van I download windows support software other than through boot camp as I need to create new disk for this

Reboot, hold the Option key down at the chime, select OSX when the boot manager appears.

Having problems with ipad mini and Siri. Works sporadically, will work once and then the second time not. Worked all the time with the original Mailbox app. Then started doing the same thing when I installed the new update so wondering if it is software?

Hi,
I have the check box on a second Partition but not on the Time Machine one
I forget what I did now to get this called "Recovery HD"

Mac freezing when using install DVD Leopard

Hi ALL,
I was rebooting my Mac whit the original install DVD OSX LEOPARD 10.5x
I liked to run repair permissions from it because I think that I have some problems running the system.
BUT, after I reboot and holding down the C-key, select the language, choose from the menu bar "Disc-utilities and select "Repair Permissions" the progress bar started moving.
After a while nothing happens any more ... the mouse is still moving, but can't select anything in the Menu Bar or quit the process.
I hat to shutdown my Mac by pressing the power button.
Can any one tell me why ... it happens, or what should I do ?

Hi D:
From what I have read, permission repair is best run from the internal HD as all the latest OS X updates are applied.
Incidentally, permission repair under OS X 10.5 takes forever. I now run OS X 10.6 and the tims have improved significantly.
In any event, you will get differing opinions, but running permission repair is, IMHO, a waste of time. I admit I do it after software updates, but that is a "hangover" from the old days when permission repair was like a +"magic bullet."+

I'm using Firefox version 3.6 on my '02 Mac G4. When I installed it, it worked fine, But then all of a sudden the "save" and "save as" windows stopped coming up at all when I selected "save" anywhere in Firefox. What happened and how do I fix it?

I downloaded and installed Firefox on my '02 Mac G4. It worked great. Now I have version 3.6. But my weird problem is one day when I ran it, the "save" and "save as" windows stopped popping up at all. I'd left click a picture and select "save as" and nothing would happen. I'd go to the menu and select "save" and still no window would pop up. It would just act as if nothing had been clicked. No loading icon or anything and no "save as" window. I've never been able to get it to work. The volunteer in the live support chat typed "That IS weird.." I tried his suggestion but it did nothing. I may have deleted the plist preferences file in the preferences library folder to get it started again after a freeze up threw it out of whack but I've never had this happen before.And i've tried doing that again to see if that would restore it. But the plist always regenerates itself and the "save as " window still never appears when I run Firefox. The "save" window works just fine in every other program on my Mac, but not in Firefox. Weird..

Cant enter mac os when pressing option at start after hiding mac partition in newly installed win7

I used boot camp to install windows 7 ultimate yesterday. After that I use some partition tool to hide the mac partition simply because I dont wanna carelessly take something out or put something in the partition. After that, I can never see mac os option on start again when pressing option button. This really made me upset cuz I got lot of important stuff on mac os. Can anyone help?

Well, you hid it, didn't you. When you hide something, how would you see it?
You probably can unhide it, with the same tool that you used to hide it (I hope for you that it is a Windows tool).
Eventually when you have back the Mac Partition, you should set the Windows Partition to be the default Boot Disk. Then you do not need to "hide" the mac partition.

Can't boot into Mac OS after Windows install via Bootcamp

Hello.
Last night I installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro early 2011 via Bootcamp.After some major complications I was able to finally install Windows 7 and boot into it. Now I can't boot back into my "Macintosh HD" partition, it shows a no entry sign.
Hard Disk : 320GB Internal Sata
Partitions : 3 -> Mac, Bootcamp and 10.8 Recovery Partition
The good part is that I can still access the Mac OS partition in Windows and Windows is working perfectly fine. As a matter of fact right now I'm on the bootcamped windows.
I have a full time machine backup but still I am looking for a way to solve this without formatting the HDD.
Things I have tried:
1. Resetting NVRAM and PRAM
2. Booting into 10.8 recovery partition and running DU.
SMART Status : Verified
"Macintosh HD" grayed and Not Mounted
Successful Verify Permissions (Twice)
Is there a way to solve this? Though the Mountain Lion partition shows when I press the Alt/option key on startup but I can't somehow boot into it.
Thanks

Your problem is OS X is refusing to boot.
There is still a bootable volume on the Macintosh HD partition, it's just not working.
You can #8 Reinstall Just OS X while command r booted from the Recovery partition, as long as you don't use Disk Utility to erase the Macintosh HD partition, your files and programs remain.
Hook the computer via Ethernet cable to a router (or modem, power reset required) with a fast relaible internet connection, you will need your AppleID and password to reinstall OS X.

Remove or reduce Mac OS after Windows install

This may be an odd question, but first a little background.
I bought the 2011 MacBook Air as my first introduction into the world of Macs and thought it would also fulfil the occasional work duties due to the promises of how easy it is to integrate a Mac into a PC world since MS Office is available on both platforms. For personal use Mac OS has been a breath of fresh air, intuitive gesture support makes browsing and editing photos fun again as well as playing around with using it as a media server, and Keynote has taken over for my presentation needs.
However working as an accountant means MS Excel, Outlook & Sage are central to my working day and due to various incompatibilities in the office, such as Mail & Outlook 2011 failing to work with our office's 2003 exchange server for one, and MS Excel 2011 being very much the poor cousin to Excel 2010 I ended up setting aside a 64Gb (of 256Gb) partition via Bootcamp to run Windows 7.
Little did I expect how good a Windows PC the MacBook Air makes! Maybe it's the SSD drive but this thing easily lives up to the top of the range i7 HP desktops we use in the office so rather than using the Windows partition for the odd bit of remote working which was the plan two years ago, it is now my main work computer. In fact after I added a couple of Displaylonk adapters I now have a four screen set up (3 x 22" 1080p Dell monitors plus laptop screen) which is the envy of the office.
So, I've since replaced my personal Mac needs with a quad core Mac Mini and haven't booted into Mac OS on the laptop for months and as you can probably guess but that 64Gb is running out quite fast.
I know I can't simply resize the partitions without causing possibly major future headaches and all this MBR/GPT/EFI stuff is unfortunately a little over my head so don't want to do anything crazy (like formatting the Mac OS partition which I've considered) without first getting some advice.
I don't really fancy wiping out the Bootcamp installation and starting again if at all possible, and don't mind keeping Mac OS around but I know that it is highly unlikely that I'll ever need it again on my Air and would probably jump for the MacBook Pro if I ever did need a portable Mac again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :-).

Thanks guys, so I guess that means formatting the Mac partition from inside Windows definitely isn't a simple option then.
So... this leaves me with a couple more questions I'm afraid.
Firstly, I've read that Camptune can cause issues later down the road as it doesn't update the partition tables fully (or something?) which can lead to the possibility of losing Bootcamp later on - but that may only be when updating OSX, which is something I don't really plan on doing so may not be an issue for me?
and Secondly, how easy is it to completely purge OSX?
I can't risk losing access to Windows for any length of time as my work life has become ridiculously hectic lately. So I can't really risk trying this until I have had chance to set up another PC as back up just in case something goes wrong. However with space rapidly becoming a premium on the Windows side it is a case of time is running out.

How to open MAc os after windows installed

hi
today i install windows 7 ultimate in my 27\ iMAC after i cant open MAC OS what to do

You didn't say how you installed MS Windows so I'm going to assume you followed directions using Boot Camp. If that is correct then restart the machine when you hear the Startup Tone hold down the Option key and choose the volume that has OS X installed on it.
If you did not use Boot Camp then please restate EXACTLY how you installed MS Windows.

I've lost my Mac OS when Windows loaded

I needed to load windows on a Mac using bootcamp so I could run a windows based graphic program. After going thru bootcamp and loading windows I seemed to have lost my Mac OS. When it comes to picking which system to use, there is only one. I backed up my Macbook Pro before doing this so I can start over. When I had to decide which partition to use Im guessing I picked the wrong one. Is there a way to know which to use when doing this again?
Thanks
Jeff
Also try to use simple explanations cause I am not a computer geek. Just know enough to get in trouble, which Ive done.
Thanks again

None that I have used. Poking around the web, I unearthed rEFIND, a SourceForge project. It may do what you want but, since I don't want to foul my boot process, I have not tried it.
By the way, if you have devices attached that are not bootable (I have a hardware peripheral plugged into my USB port for use in Windows; it's NOT a storage device), then booting with the option key may hang, giving you a blank screen "forever." Such devices need to be unplugged prior to booting. A disk not having boot blocks is NOT in that category; I have one of those. When I boot with the option key down, it just doesn't appear in the selection.

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally. I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again. I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time. Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black. I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
Hope this helps someone else!

Restore from the backup you had prior to installing Mavericks.
However, the upgrade should not have altered your partition scheme. Did your erase and format the drive prior to upgrading?

As a debugging step, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that fails, repeat with print-to-file selected. Assuming the print succeeds, open the file in Distiller to complete the creation of the PDF. If you get the PDF, then check to see if AcroTray is properly working as a background task.

All computers are personal computers, a PC though is also "non-Apple" in common usage.
Mac also is platform and OS.
