Urgent!!!!!! Mac os and recovery option not available in boot option

Hello all,
I installed windows 8 pro in my Mac using boot camp. It worked fine. I made my boot priority to windows. Then one day I shrinked my windows partition drive to another drive. Then I extended back to normal. But when I restated my pc, it won't load to windows. And when I press the option key, only "windows"partition appear. No "Mac os " no "recovery" only "windows" option. I tried to open terminal using command+s but no luck how can I boot to Mac?
Waiting for it to be solved..
Thanks

You can't do that, Re-Partition the drive, Shrink/Expand, or anything after you install Windows. you have FUBARed the complete system.
You'll need to boot to the Online Internet Recovery system. At startup hold down the Command+r keys until you see a spinning globe in the center of the screen, have the system WIRED to your internet Router, Ethernet cable.
If the Command+r keys don't work try Command+Option/Alt+r keys. Again hold them down until you see a spinning globe in the center of the screen.
Form that you will need to Re-Partition the drive as ONE (1) Partition and then reinstall Mac OS X. Once that is done then you will need to Reinstall Windows and then all your programs for both OSs and hopefully you have a backup of all your data files.'
Good Luck and Best Wishes. Happy Holiday and Happy Festivus for the rest of us.

My pc crashed and I lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. Now i have a new pc and when i connect to itunes using my password all my music and photos are not available. they appear to be lost.

my pc crashed and i lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. now i have a new pc and when i log into itunes all my music and photos are not available. I guess i dont understand the pupose of itunes and its worth. I thought it backed up all my photos and music, but apparently not. So what do I use so that when i lose data on my pc i can retrieve it again at a later date or after a crash?/

Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

Boot into Rescue and Recovery but not Windows

Everytime my pc is powered on or restarted, it boots into Rescue and Recovery, but not Windows.
What can I do?

Hi,
first I would like to explain one thing, so that we are on the same page with the RnR partition.
Vista and XP are using different RnR partitions and the location of these aprtitions is placed on the HDD is different way, so that it can be used in conjuction with your Operating system.
So in the time, where you have used the XP and OS, the RnR partition was placed in the partition table on the end/back. DIrectly after you upgraded to the Vista and did not made any changes to the RnR partition, than it is still on the end/back, which is not the corect way. Becase the Vista should use the RnR partition, that should be placed on the begind/start/in the front of all the other partitions.
So in case there was no change made to the RnR partition, like relocation, or reinstall using the Vista RnR version, then you will not be able to boot into it.
So here is what I would advice you to do:
- reinstall, or download and install the Vista version of RnR (the latest version) => this will rewrite the partition table and in case of need it will create the RnR partition.
- use bmgr32.exe , which is located on your HDD by default to rewrite the partition table. Please start it from command line in follwing way:
bmgr32.exe /phil
==> this will bring you all the command line options and you can use it based on this.
NOTE:
Plase note, that once you captured some backups using the XP version of RnR , or a different version of RnR, then it's not possible to restor the backups using a different version.
Simple: you must use the exact same version of RnR for backup and also for the restore process.
Let me know, if you have any more informations to this situation.
Cheers

HT1657 i rented a movie on my account on a friends apple TV 3 days ago, never watched it, and now I'm logged back in and it's not available to me... Don't I have 30 days to watch?

i rented a movie on my account on a friends apple TV 3 days ago, never watched it, and now I'm logged back in on my macbook and it's not available to me... Don't I have 30 days to watch? Is there somewhere you can find rented movies that I'm not seeing?

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

I cannot shut dow my MacBook Pro using the apple icon (as it was suppose to be), actually I have to press and hold the on/off buttom. I have taken twice for Mac dealer and they did not solve the problem. What must I do?

Since then I have facing this troublesome issue. Thanks

Uninstall the other AV software. They are not needed. All they do is cause trouble like you are having now.
If you have been forcing the Mac to shut down with the power switch you may nave corrupted your disk. You should repair it with disk Utilty to remove any corruption the shutdwons may have cased.

Rescue and Recovery will not install on Windows 7 upgrade

I have a thinkpad SL500 that I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 a week ago. I have tried to install Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery but get this error message during the initial install: "Rescue and Recovery does not support installing from the operating system which upgrade from legacy preload system."
I did load Win 7 32 bit from a legacy Vista preload system. I have been trying to install R&R v4.5. Is there a workaround to get ThinkVantage R&R on this Windows 7 machine? Thanks, John

Win 7 does come with it's RE environment. On my pc I can:
(1) boot into windows 7 (default)
(2) PF8 boot windows into Safe mode, which will allow me to Launch the Windows recovery environment. This is
mostly a Repair environment, but can invoke other items, such as Windows restore. This is NOT an restore from backup tool , per se.
(3) PF 11 boot into RNR standalone environment.
All 3 have Bootable software on my C drive, and entries in the BCD (boot control data). Could you document what your pc/laptop was shipped with from Lenovo. An original windows vista or windows 7? A shipped Lenovo, with win 7,should have a Z partition and a X partition. One has the RNR standalone, the other has the Factory install data to reset back to OBE, out of the box experience.
Did you purchase a WIN 7 DVD upgrade disc from a retailer? Could you also post a screen shot from Disk management that shows the attributes of the D drive. I am trying to find out if the D drive is Active
Check under the status line, HEALTHY(Active,primary partition). Did you try the Diskpart command?.
You do not need to worry about SYSPREP. It is mainly an Administrator tool for deploying system images.
By the button, do you mean the Thinkvantage blue button? This just tells the BIOS to boot into the RNR standalone environment. My original system was a Vista. Thus I have no experience verifying the X and Z drives. This info is just from reading other posts.

As a side note, Does your win 7 support Bitlocker? Can you view the contents of YOUR D drive?

Your photo is using legacy processing version (2003 or 2010). Click the lightning bolt up near histogram, or use process drop-down at bottom in dev module (right panel, camera cal section) to use current processing version (2012).
