Urgent help needed related to boot camp and Win7 32 bit

I have installed boot camp and Win7 32 bit on my iMac (2010) but I can't start from my mac os even by holding the option key. Windows doesn't recognize my wireless mouse either, but for now going back to the mac os is the priority. Can anyone help please?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold the Option (Alt) key after hearing the startup chime and until you see all bootable partitions in the screen. Do you see the OS X partition? If so, select it to start up in OS X. If you want to start up in OS X by default, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and select your OS X partition.
Respecting to your wireless mouse, you have to install the Windows support software. To download it, you can use Windows or OS X, from this site > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630 If you are in Windows, decompress the file and run the installer. If you are in OS X, follow the steps of the website to burn it to a USB drive

Help with queries about boot camp and partition, please.

Hi, I am hoping to partition my HDD. I have done this before, when I first got my macbook but got rid of it, and now I can't fully remember the do's and don'ts' of boot camp. I just need a few questions answered before I take any action.
1. I have a 120GB HDD with about 15GB free space. If I partition the drive will I lose any data on my existing HDD?
2. What is the minimal amount of space I can partition the drive and install Windows?
(I have a copy of Windows XP SP2, and really only need to install it for the use of one program that isn't available on the Apple operating systems.)
3. I tried using Parallels in which Windows took up about 6GB, will it be about the same again? I uninstalled it because I found it to lag a bit.
If you can help with any of these queries I would really appreciate it, thanks!

Maybe you should first get a larger drive; you don't have much more than the minimum 10% free space that Mac OS needs.
Retry with Sun's VirtualBox. Maybe you just need more memory.
Lose data? Step #1: backup.
You may need to backup and erase your hard drive and then restore.
I'd invest in 300GB drive though.

> How would you about designing a page without using html?
You don't. But I don't recall suggesting that you not use
HTML. I just
suggested that you use best-practice HTML, no? Or maybe you
meant to ask
how you would go about building your site without learning
HTML? In that
case, I think you are outta luck. Using DW without knowing
HTML is a very
punishing experience, I'm afraid.

Urgent help needed - RE: 10.4.6 and dvd's/cd's files disappearing

Hi all,
I've just upgraded to 10.4.6 on my Powerbook 1.5gHz, 2gb Ram laptop (PPC).
When I insert a dvd or cd I click on a file and then it just disappears, and sometimes you cannot copy to the desktop either.
Has anyone heard of this before and can recommend a solution asap?
This never happened on 10.4.3, and I did the 10.4.6 combo update to 10.4.6.
Please, please, please help me, as I can't open, copy or read my files on my dvd's. :'(
I don't know what to do!
Ash

Hi m8,
They are checked by default, and I've repaired permissions numerous times and restarted, yet still the same problem.
I believe this to be a 10.4.6 issues, as everything was fine in 10.4.3.
I had to upgrade due to some applications requesting the need for 10.4.6.
I hope someone out there can help me, as I've read numerous threads in the support, trashed plists for the finder and sidebar and such, but nothing works.
Cheers
Ash

It might be a crossdomain.xml problem.
Please make sure that the server hosting the xml allows the domain where the swf is hosted.
You can start with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

Boot Camp and QT updates messed up my monitor settings -- help!

The oddest thing happened after I allowed the updates of Boot Camp and Quicktime while running WinXP. My second monitor, which is an old 15" Apple Studio Display, went really dark, and I can't find a brightness control to fix it in WinXP. I now have to reset the brightness of the Apple monitor every time I boot natively in MacOSX as well.
Any ideas why this happened? Or how to fix it? The brightness control in WinXP is useless (it's an NVidia control panel) becase all it does is manage the relative brightness of the pixels; it does nothing to the actual brightness of the backlight. I read that there's supposed to be a brightness control tab in the Boot Camp control panel, but there isn't one.
This is a puzzling and frustrating dilemma. I hope someone out there can help. Aaaargh.
<Edited by Moderator>

I have the same problem with controling the brightness of my external monitor ( Apple Cinema display) while running Windows
XP on my MacBook Pro. Did you already find a solution?
Best regards. Robert

URGENT HELP NEEDED ... Tomcat Realm and JRE1.4 plug-in problem

I have tried the Security Realm of Tomcat. Since I do not have
an LDAP server, I decided to use the Tomcat-users.xml file in
Tomcat\conf directory.
I added the following lines of code in the web.xml file.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Entire Application</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>

<role-name>webviewer</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>Tomcat Manager Application</realm-name>
</login-config>
The <role-name> "webviewer" is added into "Tomcat-Users.xml" as the following:
<tomcat-users>
<user name="test" password="password" roles="webviewer" />
</tomcat-users>
So, now when we type the url: http://localhost:8080/adbpdbre/default.htm, TOMCAT shows a dialog box asking for UserName: and Password:Now, only when we give the username and password, it shows the page. This is exactly what we want.
But the problem now is, this default.htm page, has 5 links to 5 applets. The first time that I click on one of these links, the JRE plug of 1.4 shows a dialog again asking for the username and password. Till I dont provide the username and password the system doesnt go ahead and applet doesnt load. I do not want the JRE to ask me for the username/passwords again..How to avoid this ?
Can you give me some more information on this. Ultimately in the production usage, we will be using LDAP and not Tomcat's memory realm.
URGENT HELP NEEDED ... I need to get back to my client on this.
Help would be v. much appreciated.

In the config file, you 're essentially saying that you want Tomcat to prompt for usr/passw on every request (url-pattern = /*) made by a 'webviewer', and that's exactly what Tomcat is doing.
Consider using specific url-patterns & roles for resources to be protected. If for now, all you need is to protect the first page, use a more specific url-pattern.
Just an advice : if you'll be using LDAP in production, do not waste time with Tomcat's Security Realm and the BASIC authentication type, since the two have not much in common. Start reading doc on LDAP, and code a prototype, or even better, a vertical slice of the app (i.e a proof of concept).

What is boot camp and what does it do? Do we need anything to use it?

What is boot camp and what does it do?
What do we need to start this thing?
What things do we have to be careful with it?

Make good backups of your OSX partition before any BootCamp operation (setup or removal).
BootCamp alters the boot sector of the disk, which hold information about the OSX partition. Some people report that BootCamp has left the boot sector data about the OSX partition damaged -- very rarely, but it happens.

Help Put An End to Windows Activation Issue in Boot Camp and Fusion

Several people have indicated you should set it up Fusion first before you activate Windows. Does that mean you activate in Fusion before Boot Camp? What is also not clear is the reason for this and whether this bypasses the issue of having to activate Windows twice - once in native mode (Boot Camp) and once in VM (Fusion), if you intend on using Windows in both Boot Camp and Fusion.
I'm hoping to finally put an end to this ongoing question and issue since I've yet to find a definitive answer on several boards. The only answer I was able to find was that you have to activate Windows in both native and VM but this obviously conflicts with what a few people have posted, unless of course I have misinterpreted what they've stated.

Thnx. My MBP has a built-in optical drive, so that explains the first screen without the option to create the installation disk.
So the problem remains to get Boot Camp recognize the installation disk. I tried to create an 8 GB (and after that even a 16 GB) installation disk on a USB stick and add the Boot Camp files to this stick. Next screen, Boot Camp still asks to insert the Windows Installation Disk. After that I burned the iso on a new DVD to be able to insert an original disk in the optical drive, but even this did not work out.
Today I called Microsoft to tell me whether I was taking the right steps, but this guy couldn't help me either. "I should not install windows in a partition, but I should use parallels to install it under iOS..." ?
The iso I have is an original disk image of Windows 8.1 Pro NL, meant to make a clean install. So what am I doing wrong?

I forgot to back-up my information (pictures, excel documents) on MAC before installing boot camp and Windows. I am mid-way through the process, at the point where I need to install the drivers. Will i be able to retrieve my documents on MAC or not?

I forgot to back-up my information (pictures, excel documents) on MAC before installing boot camp and Windows. I am mid-way through the process, at the point where I need to install the drivers. Will i be able to retrieve my documents on MAC and finalizing the Windows 7 installation (for the 1st time) or not?
I am worried that may lose my information... Appreciate any feedback! Note: already half-way in the process of installing!

Yes, IF you picked the right partition, as in the Boot Camp partition. If everything is done right you should be able to boot into the Mac side.
If you already booted into Windows and are at the point of installing the Boot Camp Drivers your already done installing Windows! Yea! All you need to do is just install the drivers and everything should work normal.
The Windows partition and the Mac partition are seen as two different HD's now as far as the computer knows.
You can use the Boot Camp control panel in Windows to boot into the Mac side and the Startup Disk in System Preferences on the Mac to switch to Windows. If you can't then press and hold down the Option key untill you get the boot screen.

Wanna use boot camp and have 19gb free. Assistant tells me I can't since I need to have at least 10gb free. Anyone knows what's happening? tks a lot!

You need to free up disk space before creating a Windows partition. To see how much free space there is on the startup disk, right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Setup Boot Camp and installed XP SP3 now no OS 10.5.8 please help

I have setup boot camp and installed XP SP3 onto the macbook pro. When i restarted the computer the only operating system is XP. I have held down the options key while restarting only the WINDOWS option is displayed. How can i get the Mac OS back as i have some pretty important document in that section.
I have a time capsule but i can not restore from the time capsule as it takes a continues to search for the disk image.
Can i reboot the computer and start again, then carry out a restore from there?
How do i reboot/format the computer so i can start again?
I need to get this sorted ASAP as i have to get this information sent away ASAP.
Cheers

Have you tried booting from the disk that came with your computer? I'd try that first, and see if you can see your OS X partition in Disk Utility and possibly repair it.
Good luck!

hi guys i used boot camp and turned my mac into windows and i wanted to play a pc game called guild wars 2 and i cant find a proper program to actually setup the game

Only if you decide to share with us your particular situation. Guild Wars should install and run like any other Game. Other than the Game Installer, Games don't need some other installer to make them work. Only someone who reads the instructions for the proper installation.
