Stratup manager shows only the Mac drive

Hi,
I installed windows XP sp2 on my MacBook (running Leopard latest update)
The windows drive system file is FAT32
I can boot using windows only by choosing restart to windows from the Mac startup disk
But when pressing the option key while turning on the machine
only the Mac drive appears in the startup manager, no windows icon appear
I solved the problem just for now using rEFIT
http://refit.sourceforge.net/
I've read that converting the Windows partition to NTFS will solve the problem
but i want to keep it as FAT32 to be able to transfer files from MAc partition to win partition
is there is any news when apple is going to provide a fix or update to solve this issue?
Thanks.

well, Actually it is mentioned in the refit website that there are two commands for the startup option
./enable-always.sh
./enable.sh
the first one will make refit shows every time you startup your computer
the second command will make it accessible only through the option key
I tried to use the second command
but it always apear in the startup
if you went to the startup disk from Mac Os x and selected Mac os x as the default operating system, the refit menu will disappear from the startup
you can enable it again through the 2 above mentioned commands
If you are updating windows, so windows will boot automatically every restart during the update

  • Keeping media on an external drive, why i tunes imports the files to the Mac drive? it doesn't do that on windows?

    I keep music and video media on an external drive. When using itunes on mac it copies media to mac hard drive. this uses lots of space of course. on itunes for windows it keeps the files on the external drive which is great. is there a way to use itunes for mac to sort and manage the library without copying media to the mac drive?

    Well, I can say that the question is partially solved.... while most of my music library popped up, much of it did not.  The only common denominator I can see is that the music I transferred off of disc may not have transferred over, only the itunes purchases?  I can't see for sure.  I am still trying to figure out how to get the new itunes app on my new hard drive to see everything without me having to click on every file thats missing.  Let this be a lesson to all to back everything up on time machine.  I thought that having my data on a seperate hard drive would be ok.  Seriously wish I had used time machine.

  • Cannot display the screen of the macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. Connection to the TV is over HDMI cable.  TV shows only the backgroud picture of Lion. Do you have any suggestions for help ?

    Cannot display the screen of my macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. The Macbook is connected to the TV is over HDMI cable.  TV shows only the backgroud picture of the Lion OS and reacts even to mission control. Do you have any suggestions for help ?

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

  • I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

    I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

    You will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and you can then sync them to your iPhone. Or you might be able to open each PDF in iBooks on your iPad and use the share icon to email them to yourself and then use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPhone to copy them to its iBooks app (if the PDF is protected then you may not get the email option via the share icon).
    The Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections setting doesn't copy items between devices, it just means that it a bookor PDF is on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device then it will be moved into the same collection on the other device

  • Web part created on a subsite for a sharepoint list in another site using sharepoint designer, to show only the subsite's reports. Connection dropping off and showing all the reports

    I crated web parts in the sub-sites (we have about 10 subsites) using sharepoint designer from a main list in another site.  Then used web part to show only the  ubsite's reports - using connection to the main list.  Problem is, the connection
    is dropping off and showing all the reports on the main list that are confidential.  this has happened 3 time lately.  Could someone explain why it happens some times?  I had to fix it by adding the web part again and connecting it
    Thanks, Subathy.

    Hi George,
    If you want to use a top level site "department" list column in all sub-sites, you can go to top level site and create a
    lookup type "Site column" to look up the value from the department list, then all sub-sites can use this lookup type site column created in top level site.
    Thanks

  • My emails show only the header and no content or attachments ?

    My emails show only the header with no content or attachments on my iPad?

    Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work, reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Missing parts list shows only the first material.

    in case of MTO cycle, when i create a plnd order to prod order,in material availability check, system is not displaying all the materials for which shortages are there, instead its showing only the first material.
    any help

    You need to ensure that these materials are actually missing. You check this in transaction CO09 (SAP Note 89362). The checking rule will be whatever you assigned to the production order type in OPJK.
    Also, you need to ensure that the "missing" materials are actually checked for availability - The checking group is assigned in the MRP3 tab of the material master. In OVZ2, look at the entry for this checking group and ensure that "No Check" is not ticked.

  • Apparently I inadverdently clicked on something that changed my address book listings to showing only the first three letters of each name -

    the column showing my address book now shows only the first three characters of each name
    it's like they have all been abbreviated
    I have to try and decipher the name from those three characters before clicking
    to see the
    person's address window with the full information
    I would like to be able to read the entire name- first & last like before
    Thank you in advance

    try dragging the column heading to make the column wider

  • Safari 4.0 is slower to show only the first web site

    Safari 4.0 is slower to show only the first web site. Once Safari is open, the first site may take 4 to 5 seconds to show, and Console indicates:
    11/06/09 17:15:09 [0x0-0x99099].com.apple.Safari[1029] Debugger() was called!
    Subsequent sites load in just one second or so (and Console does not show any messsage).
    If I quit Safari and open it again, the same issue arises: it takes longer to show the very first site (whatever it is) but not the subsequent ones (for which it is quicker), and Console shows a similar string on such very first site (but not the subsequent ones). Other examples of such string:
    11/06/09 17:15:58 [0x0-0x9b09b].com.apple.Safari[1033] Debugger() was called!
    11/06/09 17:15:58 [0x0-0x9b09b].com.apple.Safari[1033] Debugger() was called!
    11/06/09 17:17:06 [0x0-0x9c09c].com.apple.Safari[1036] Debugger() was called!
    How to prevent such Console message and make Safari also quick to show the very first page or site after opening Safari?
    Thanks.

    Not to get your hopes up, did you ever hear or figure out any resolution to this. I have a (slightly) similar issue passed along from one of my bosses, that when he upgraded to 4.0.2 it started causing issues with FTP logins through Safari. He would have to enter passwords multiple times on the same site. So initial entry worked and then every subsequent event needed a password entry. Just curious if this could be part of your problem. I tried to emulate the problem on my machines and only on the one I have the 4.0.2 update does it happen.

    You need to refresh the page (F5) to update the items in the download menu. Apparently YouTube refreshes the page in such a way that the extension doesn't gets notified, so you need to refresh the page manually if you want to download a media file from this page.
