Still waiting for a solution to the option key issue and boot camp.

I posed a question about not being able to boot up into windows using the option key method during restart. I never found an answer to it. Also, I'm one of those folks who lacks audio in windows Vista.

There is no solution, it cannot be done. Yes they are all products made by Apple, but the Mac has a different operating system than the iPad and the iPhone. The iPad and the iPhone run iOS. The Mac runs OS X. Apps for iOS do not run on a Mac and apps for OS X do not run on iPads or iPhones. If a developer makes an app for both iOS and for OS X they are separate purchases.

IPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens. I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive.

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.

3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5. I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone. My operating system is Mavericks.

launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

Boot camp and windows XP..can't use the "option" key to dual boot

Hi All
I'm a Mac newbie, but I know LOTS about windows XP. I set up windows XP to run on my brand new (5 days old) macbook. I can use bootcamp to boot from OS/X to windows XP, and everything works well o both systems (I also loaded fusion, didn't like it cause I had to keep activating Microsoft Office 2007 everytime I switched from the VM to the bootcamp method of accessing XP).
My question..when I hold down the option key when I turn on the computer, only the Mac hard drive appears, not the windows...so, I boot into OS/X and then switch to windows from there. Any ideas why the option key only gives me the Mac HD option?
Thanks

In terms of AV, I'm running Mcafee AV and firewall, if that's any help knowing..I don't know if the AV changes any boot record, etc. Also, interesting when I go to the boot camp control panel when I am in windows, both "hard drives, Mac and windows" show up as folders. When I go to the control panel in the Mac OS, the Mac HD shows up as a hard drive, and the windows shows up as a folder. So...who knows!
As for using Vista vs. windows, well, I haven't worked much with Vista, but, since many of us that need windows use programs that may not reliably work with Vista, I have stuck with XP.
As for the use of Fusion, my point was this. I put the trial copy on and then loaded office 2007...each time I started the windows boot camp partition, or the fusion VM, I had to reactive Office 2007...this is a known problem in fusion VMware per their discussion board on the site. If you load fusion AND the fusion tools before activating Windows XP, then you only have to activate windows twice, once in bootcamp and once in fusion, but you have to look for the fusion tools and load them, they don't load by default.
Thanks for the OS dual boot software suggestion, I'll check it out...this is not a huge problem, but, when the Apple engineers respond to my question as "hmmm...we don't know"...I'm a bit concerned. So, as an old time windows user who just switched to Mac, my initial take it...both systems have their problems, just a different set of problems...but, so far I love my Macbook.

Is there a fix to the option key issue & drive selection

Just asking a question again. Is the key working with the new wireles aluminum keyboard yet? Still cannot select a drive to use at startup which is rendering bootcamp practically useless. I know I can select in using preferences. I'm worried I'll have a problem getting back to OSX.

For a Boot-Manager try rEFIt http://refit.sourceforge.net/

Start with the Option key down - Which port to connect the keyboard?

When I need to start my Mac with the Option key down in order to select a boot volume, I have noticed that the system ignores the Option key press and boots into a previous boot volume if a USB keyboard is plugged into an external USB hub. That's understandable because the boot sequence may not detect the keyboard on the external USB bus fast enough for the system to recognize the Option key press.
My Mac will always recognize the Option key press at a boot time if the USB keyboard is plugged into a USB port on the Mac.
I want to know what if the boot sequence will detect the keyboard +soon enough+ to recognize the Option key press if the keyboard is connected to a USB port on a PCIe USB expansion card.
If you know the answer, please let me know because, if the answer is no, I would not want to invest money into an expansion card.

Even if it doesn't work with the card, you can plug the keyboard into a built-in port and use the card's ports for other USB devices. The total number of USB ports would be the same.

2 months already and still waiting for apple provider to repair MacBook

My girlfriend's macbook pro has the no video issue ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 ) We sent it to our local AASP from Honduras, they told us that Apple would refund everything, but it's been 2 months already and we are still waiting for Apple to send the materials.
Is that normal?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
In the U.S. spreaking directly to Apple, you can ask for them to consider replacing your Mac within 3 weeks of sending it in, or three attempted repairs ont he same item. I suggest going over to the repair place, getting a case number they have with Apple, and contacting AppleCare directly.
In Hondurous that would be:

Look everyone that comes here with a support problems has gone through all the normal channels, around and round in circles with no one seeming to be interested. They've called every phone number, every email address they can find. They have been put on hold and bounced fifty times to another operator only to be hung up on. If Adobe would bring back support to main land and have people that know what's going on instead of having people that people can barely understand read from scripts. Scripted information only applies about 10 % of the time. I'm just giving people an alternative. after they have torn their hair out going the normal route. If they had been able to get a solution they wouldn't be coming here for help.
There should be a forum set up just for people to air these issues and Adobe employees forced to man it. Then we wouldn't have to have such a Bad attitude. Right now Adobe's Support reputation is worse than Intuit's which did have the absolutely worse on the Planet. Now they are number 2.
You know it yourself that Adobe's support is absolutely worse than terible. However to prevent me from being banned from the forums I will simply will provide the adobecare email address from now on
So let's sweep it under the rug.

FF28.0 (de): Though menu option "Offline" is checked, Firefox still waits for responses from online sites

I have own webpages and modify them locally on my notebook.
After having made changes, *before* uploading them to my webhost company, I use to have a look on them "locally".
To manage this, I check menu option : Datei -> Offline arbeiten (German version, in "en" probably File-> Offline)
This worked pretty fine for years, up to and including FF 27.0.1.
Now with FF28.0, though "Offline" is checked/activated, FireFox still waits for online answers and does NOT display my changed sites (residing on the hard disk).
What happened? Must I now use IE to test my website changes locally?

Using Work Offline would only work for web pages that you have visited and that are in the disk cache.<br />
You can't use this to display web pages that are modified locally for testing.<br />
To do that properly you would have to access them via a local server that is running on your computer.

Contacting Apple for support and service

Customer service promised me call back in 24 hrs but it has been 72 hrs and I m still waiting for the call,,,,,

Apple sent me replacement phones and both with different coverage on them. Repair coverage finishing lot earlier then what I had on the original defective phones. Now they are telling me that he phones they received were different then the ones in Repair Case. After 150 minutes long phone call the rep said me that somebody will call me within 24 hrs and I m still waiting for the call after 3 days. the conversation was polite and helpful all the way from both sides but now I feel like Apple reps are trying to avoid this problem because this is their problem that most likely they misplaced my phones in their wharehouse and after my call (one week after the phones received by apple) they started looking for it.
I had the repair status updated in my profile after I received the new wrong phones. Even the acknowledgement email from apple mentioning that they have sent out the replacement product came to my inbox two days after I received the phones.
Is this Mr.Jobs Apple ?
Does anyone has Customer service email address ?

I know there is a contact us tab on the web page and thats what I have mentioned here that what happened when I called them.
thanks for ur input though,
