Windows 7 partition not showing up at boot, but it appears within Disk Utility.

I have a Macbook Pro that's had 2 partitions for the past year. I created a 3rd partition yesterday and promptly deleted it.
Ever since, I haven't been able to boot in Windows - Mavericks is the only option. Disk Utility shows my Boot Camp partition, and that partition still appears on my desktop as a mounted drive (with all files intact).
I rebooted in recovery mode to open Disk Utility. In the top left corner, I hit the Apple menu > Startup disk, and Windows showed up as a bootable drive. I clicked on it, had it restart into Windows, and it almost worked. A black screen with a line command showed up. It said "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key." No matter what I pressed, nothing happened, so I turned it off and back on into Mavericks.
I want to boot in Windows but have no idea what's stopping me. Any thoughts?

You could be seeing a Windows boot manager with XP and 7, but no, you can't do what you did and directly choose Windows 7. You can make it the default for Windows, use msconfig.

Windows Vista Partition Not Showing Up in OSX

Hi,
I have a Windows Vista partition that is not visible under OSX, and I have MacFuse/NTFS-3G installed.
When I open up Disk Utility, I can see the Vista partition, named as "disk0s3" but when I try to mount it... it says "The disk 'disk0s3' could not be mounted".
If I use boot camp and load into Windows Vista, I can see my Macintosh HD fine using MacDrive... and I can read/write to it.
Anyone have any ideas as to why I can't mount my Vista partition in Leopard?
Thanks.

Yea, I tried Paragon NTFS, but the Vista partition doesn't show up in the list.
I'm starting to wonder if I checked on GUID partition (heard tht matters for boot camp) when I installed OSX and Windows Vista.
The drive that I have in my Macbook Pro right now is 500gb seagate momentus that I got from OWC. Ever since I re-installed everything on this new drive, I have not been able to see the partition.
On my older drive, the one that came with Macbook Pro, I could see the Windows partition.
Do you guys think the GUID option has something to do with it?

Windows 7 partition not showing up

Hi,
I have a fairly standard 10.6 + Bootcamp Win XP setup. I wanted to test Windows 7 64 bit, so I just made an extra NTFS partition, booted from the windows7 DVD, the installer recognized the new ntfs partition and installed without a hitch. But I can't start up Win 7 at all, it doesn't show up when pressing ALT at startup. Just Win XP which I installed using the Bootcamp assistant shows up alongside OS X. Is this even possible ? I see the newly created Win 7 partition just fine in OS X.
Cheers,
Bob

Uploaded document via windows application does not show in document library, but as checked out Document

Hi,
A windows application uploads document to a document library programatically. Although they get added to the document library but are not shown there. Only when I go to the "Managed file that have no checked in verison" I see all the documents.
This happens even though I have set "No Versioning" in the library settings. This is probably happening because I have added a few custom columns to the library.
How can I avoid this situation and get to upload document which can directly be seen on the document library rather than first taking control of the doc and then checking it in?

Hi,
When uploading files without filling in some required columns, the files would appear in “Checked Out Files” page.
To avoid this situation, you can modify that windows application to force users fill in the required columns or just define default values for those columns.
You can take a look at the link below for more information:

Windows partition not showing up in finder OR disk utility

doesn't snow leopard have ntfs support out of the box? Well I have windows 7 x64 installed via bootcamp, yet the windows partition will not show up in finder. I checked in disk utility and there is my macintosh HD, and a greyed out partition named disk0s4. It's 120gb, same size as the windows partion, but it says that it is FAT, which I know is not right. I even went so far as to to reformat the whole drive and reinstall both windows 7 and os x, and I am 100% sure it is a NTFS drive, even though it still will not mount in osx and it still says it's FAT in disk utility. What is going on??

Go to Finder > Preferences > General
Make sure External disks is selected.
Restart your Mac then connect the external drive.

Bootcamp not showing up in boot loader

Today I needed to resize my Windows Vista Ultimate partition for work, so I used Disk Utility to crate an image from the partition. After that I used Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition, and then create a larger partition. After this was done I went back into Disk Utility and restored the partition using the image I created earlier.
In OS X I can mount the partition and access the files and it seems everything was restored correctly. When I restart my machine and hold down the Option key to bring up the boot loader, Bootcamp is no longer an option. The only partition I can boot from is HD.
Please help! Thanks

Did you actually Install a version of Windows into that Boot Camp Partition? It doesn't sound like you did.
You'll need a copy of Windows 7 or 8, 64bit, and a valid license key code for whatever version you plan on installing.

I'm developing a web site using MVC3 & Razor, but my css changes do not show up on FireFox, but do on Chrome & Internet Explorer - How can I get Razor to render correctly on FireFox?

I don't have a public version as I'm just staring development.
For an example I have completed the walk-thru at [http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/getting-started-with-ef-using-mvc/updating-related-data-with-the-entity-framework-in-an-asp-net-mvc-application]. Then I tried changing minor items in site.css (such as font size) and the changes did not show up on FireFox, but do show up on Chrome and Internet Explorer.
Example of change below: I changed the background from #e8eef4 to #ff0000. The table header background shows up in red for chrome & IE, but stay in light blue for FireFox.
<code>
table th {
padding: 6px 5px;
text-align: right;
background-color: #ff0000;
border: solid 1px #e8eef4;
</code>

External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC

External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC

TS1382 I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it back up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that

I have a ipod classic 160GB and it's not showing any music anymore, but there is still showing 7GB of memory being used, and I don't have it backed up on my itunes, since I had to put a new hard drive on my computer. Any suggestion to find out whats on that memory or to get it the music back, there is approximately over 1400 songs on it?

What is the memory being used by, is it Other? If it is, that means the iPod can no longer read the music, so it has put it all in "Other".
The usual fix for this is to allow the iPod to Sync with its iTunes Library. If that doesn't work, the next option is to Restore the iPod using the Restore command in iTunes, on the Device/Summary pane.
Unless you are very (very) lucky, I suspect that you are going to have to Restore your iPod. Restoring will remove everything form the iPod and put back onto it only what it finds in your iTunes Library, which you say is currently empty.
If you have to rebuild your Library after this issue, by adding all the music back again, this is going to be hard to hear, but for the future, you may want to consider always having a backup of your library. The easiset way to back the Library up is;
if the Library is small enough, burn it to a DVD, as digital files, not a "music CD".
If your Library is too large for a DVD, buy yourself an external hard drive and copy the Library onto the drive. Remember to update the backup every so often.

Pb! pics not showing in n85 gallery but in file ma...

Hi!
As it is writen in title, my pics not showing in n85 gallery but in file manager!
I don't now if it is because I have uptdated till share online 4.
I just have a blank screen with now pics showing. When I click on open, I just have white and grey icons with a boat in it but unable to open one.
That's is really annoying as I bought this mobile phone for the multimedia advantages...
Please need help!
Thanks

its either the presence of Share Online 4.0 or a firmware issue. the same thing happened with N78 until new firmware 20.149 rectified the problem of the thumbnails not displaying/displaying incorrectly. a new firmware should be on the horizon for N85 i'm sure
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

I'm trying to export a file as .dwg for Autocad but it's not showing the dwg preview and it appears to be saving as code (lots of gobbledegook when reopening the file). I'm on OS 10.5.8. Never had a problem with this before. What am I missing? Any idea

First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.
