Why has my bootcamp suddenly stopped recognising HFS?

Bootcamp has been playing nicely with windows 8 on my early 2009 Mac Pro for months. All the drivers installed, no problems. Suddenly the other day, Windows wouldn't boot. I eventually narrowed it down to the old AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys problem, deleted them and it was back to being fine, without of course being able to see my mac partition. I've read that people have had this problem before but it seems to be from the start. I didn't add or remove any hardware, and strangely the problem happened even when I tried to reinstall Windows 7, so I was wondering whether this problem means that there is a problem with one of my hfs volumes. I've verified them all but the fact the even now if I reinstall the HFS + drivers it won't boot again makes me think I've got some problem. I don't have filevault turned on, but I did do quite a big time machine backup to an internal drive just before this happened...which could be a coincidence.
Any ideas? I would like windows to be able to see my mac drives, for moving 3d animation stuff around. And I'm worried this foreshadows a problem with one or more of my drives.

  • Why has my iMessage suddenly stopped working?

    Does anyone have any idea why my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.3) has suddenly decided to stop sending iMessages? When I try and send an iMessage I keep getting a pop up box telling me that I need to have iMessage activated, yet when I go into Settings/Messages the iMessage option is switched on. Also when I send a message to another user that I know for a fact has iMessage, the message bubble does not turn blue. What's going on??

    iMessage is down for many users right now:

  • Why has my iPhone suddenly stopped working?

    I was in the middle of reading a text this morning when my iPhone suddenly turned off. Now, the screen is black and my computer won't even recognize it when it's plugged in. The battery should not be dead because it was charged over night and it does not turn on even after being plugged in for awhile. I didn't drop it or spill anything on it before it broke, the screen just suddenly went black. Has this happened to anyone else. Any suggestions on what to do?? Also, I haven't updated my iPhone  to iOS 5 yet if that's relevant.

    Contact 3 asap you may have been frozen because of inadvertant excessive
    data use or more.
    All you can eat does NOT apply overseas
    AND if you did not enable roaming they will certainly believe your iPhone has been stolen
    and taken out of the country

  • Why has .mac email suddenly stopped working on my PowerPC G5?

    It's worked fine for a couple of years and now it asks for my password, which it will not acknowledge.   I checked my .mac account settings, etc and all seems fine.  The .mac account runs fine on my phone and thru iCloud.  But now not on my desktop.
    They're killing off MobileMe and I noticed that my desktop won't sync anymore with that either.  Related?    It appears that you will need OSX Lion to function fully with iCloud.    Let's see, I'm only 13 OSX upgrades behind........

    Please help!
    My email has stopped working on my HTC evo.
    It's done this before and i went to settings and followed these instructions then it worked great for a few months but now I can not receive email. I can send but incoming does not work.

    this is what i followed last time, but it doesnt work now
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...

  • Why has one page suddenly stopped working?

    we have a problem that has got our web developer
    stumped....and i'd really appreciate it if someone could shine some
    light on possible reasons.
    The page in question is the "Where to Buy" page which lists
    links to our suppliers. Its worked perfectly for years until
    recently when, even though the file is updating correctly on the
    server, its not updating when the page is viewed in a browser.
    I have downloaded the file onto three separate computers,
    using different net connections (in different towns even!). The
    downloaded file shows the correct info yet the only version that
    appears on the web is an old version that has inaccurate info.
    I have tried uploading the files back to the server but same
    result. i have also tried loading other info to the server and that
    does work in the browsers.
    What should i be looking for to try solve this puzzle?
    thanks in advance
    adam

    It sounds like the page has somehow got stuck in the cache of
    a server
    somewhere. Delete the file from the server, and then call the
    page.
    Hopefullt you should then get a 404 error. Then FTP the page
    back. This
    should hopefully clear out the cache.

  • Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

    Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
    Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

    Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
    The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
    As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

  • TS3700 why does my ipod suddenly stop playing

    Why does my ipod suddenly stop playing?

    is your battery charged?  How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a  playlist when it stops)?   I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

  • Why has my iPod Touch stopped connecting to my WiFi?

    Why has my iPod Touch stopped connecting to my WiFi?
    It's been fine for the past 2 years but today, it's stopped. It was working this morning...
    According to settings it has connected but I cannot access anything online and the internet icon is missing.
    WiFi is working on my phone & laptop so it doesn't appear to be a problem with the router. Also I've just synced my iPod with iTunes, reset and restarted - still no luck.
    Any suggstions?
    Thanks

    Did you already try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset?

  • Why has my new ipad stopped saving photos from Facebook?  Problem could have started when I downloaded the new OS.

    Why has my new IPad stopped saving pictures from Facebook.  Worked originally and problem may have started when I downloaded OS 6.

    You are correct that the behavior started when you installed iOS 6 - but as Chetan6518 explained - you now have to configure it in the settings.
    Along with the suggestion above, there is also a Photos setting in Privacy and that gives access to approved apps for photos as well.
    Last of all, make sure that you haven't set a photos restriction in Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos

  • Why has my network suddenly become unavailable to bluetooth?

    why has my network suddenly become unavailable to bluetooth?

    I'm not sure that I fully understand 'tethering' other than linking to a 'master'. Nor do I quite know how to answer what I was doing when connecting--I have been trying to connect for some 8 hours now, trying multiple ways around the problem. I guess my main problem is I don't actually understand the technical action underpinning a connection. So I try narrowing down the options and then restoring each action.
    I have been trying to work out where the network failure exists--in my laptop or in my iphone. I have gone back through apps, and whether these were connected through iTunes or not.
    I haven't tried connecting my phone to a printer or an iPod. I only mention them because my lap top is also failing now to pair with my iPod, and I wondered whether the fault is from my laptop's network connection, rather than my iphone's network connection.
    My laptop  wireless connection with my printer has not been disturbed despite the network being unavailable. -- I only mentioned that as an indication that whatever the 'network' was that was unavailable, it was not the network connecting my laptop and printer.
    I am grateful for your interest.

  • Why has my ipad mini stopped connecting with my iPhone 4S? I used to use it to download books, or transfer emails to my ipad mini. It was fine 3 days ago, now I get a message saying " cannot join with iPhone" Any help greatly appreciated.

    You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.
