Yosemite and Bootcamp Windows 7 booting problem

Hello all,
I upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks from the App store on a MBP 2013 late which also had windows 7 installed on it using bootcamp.
I can boot into Yosemite and Windows 7 by going to start up disk and selecting the OS and then restarting but what I cannot do is use the option key to show me the boot disk options when I power on like how I used to do before the upgrade.
Is it the same for all, is there any work around or am I doing something wrong here ?
Thanks in advance.
Priyank.

What about booting into safe mode and then uninstalling the app?

16 mo young Mac Pro will not turn on. Dead. Why. No problems ever! Installed Yosemite and did not boot up after. Did that kill it? To young to die. What happened?what do I do now??????? Help!

Note that you don't have a Mac Pro as stated. Your profile says you have a MacBook Pro. Please clarify as they are entirely different computers. If nothing below works for you, then make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Headset (inc mic) that works both in OS X Lion and bootcamp Windows 7

Hi,
Is there a headset (inc mic) that works both in OS X Lion and bootcamp Windows 7?
I have a MBP.
//Fredrik

Actually most should work. They're supposed to be Plug-n-Play hardware.
I have an el-cheapo set of Logitech's I bought for the kid a while ago and it works in both. I think Windows 7 had to update a USB driver for it to work but it did it automatically. We have the mic/audio pins hooked to a USB audio dongle. Have no idea what model or brand it is.
The safest way would be to make sure it has a USB connector. I know the USB adapters are pretty cheap, $2 or $3 US if you search around.

How to partition my second hard drive in my Macbook to use as data with both Mac Mountain Lion and bootcamp Windows 7

Hi guys
So this is my dilemma...
I have a 13" macbook pro, I have just installed a 128GB SSD and am using that as the main boot drive and the bootcamp. I have split that hard drive in half (64gb each), one half is for OS X and the other half for Windows 7, no data is being stored on the SSD.
I have also replaced the Super drive with the original 500GB Sata drive and am wanting to use that as my Data drive. I want to partition that drive as 400GB for OS X data and 100GB Windows 7 Data (windows is only going to be used for work which wont be using too much storage.
Lets call the SSD as the OS drive and the 500GB as the Data drive...
Now i have currently formatted the Data drive in Disk Utility as MSDOS (FAT) so that both OS X and Windows can read data from it. I am not really fussed with the Mac being able to read what is on the Windows partition or vice versa but i do want to be able to store files larger than 4GB.
In the Windows bootcamp i have formatted the data drive partition as NTFS and that seems to work but I now cannot store files in the Mac partiton that are larger than 4GB, how to i get both HFS and NTFS to work on one physical hard drive to remove the 4GB limitation?
I hope i have explained the situation clearly enough.
Thanks
Ash

FAT32, what Mac/OS X/Apple calls MSDOS FAT, can only store files smaller then 4GBs in size. That is the limit of FAT32. So all you need to do is format the partition you want to use for the Mac "Mac Extended (journaled)" (If you can on a MBR partition table drive, Not sure) or exFAT.
But be aware that Apple's implementation of exFAT is flawed and Windows may not be able to read a exFAT partition formatted by OS X.
Everytime I have tried to format a drive exFAT on a mac and nthen move it to a Windows computer, that is Win 7 that natively support exFAT, Windows could not read the drive.
Good Luck

Airport Express and Bootcamp Windows 7

I have a Macbook, purchased Dec 09
Airport Express Mar. 2011
June, 2011, installed Bootcamp, Windows 7. Cannot access the internet from Windows. I note that the Airpot Ex I have is intended for XP and Vista--W7 was not out yet. Do I need a new Airport Express? Or?

This is not an issue with the Airport Express, your Windows OS is likely missing the drivers it needs.
You need to download and install WindowSupport software and drivers. Reboot your computer to Mac OS X and open Boot Camp Assistant. Click Continue on the introduction and ONLY select "Download the Windows support software for this Mac". Click Continue again, and next select the method you would like to save the software. After the download has completed, reboot computer to Windows OS. Open the WindowsSupport folder you downloaded to a disc or drive, and open Installation. Follow through the on-screen instructions, and after the computer restarts you should have internet access.

Yosemite and iOS iMessage Syncing Problem

I am SO frustrated. I've read forum after forum and CANNOT seem to set up text message forwarding. I've signed into just one apple id across all of the devices (@icloud.com), I've selected receive from and only had my email address selected. I've toggled the iMessage on and off on my phone (sometimes crashing iMessage - it says it's activating and then says it can't connect to iCloud). I've turned on BlueTooth and tried connecting my devices and then clicking "Enable Test Message Forwarding." Whatever I do, I CANNOT seem to get the activation code to pop up on my laptop. It just won't.
There is a SERIOUS bug in iMessage and this problem only started after I updated to Yosemite and iOS 8, on my new iPhone 5.
Before updating anything, my MacBook Air and my iPhone 4 were working together beautifully. After updating to Yosemite, suddenly I could receive messages on both devices, but they would show up unread on my phone even though I checked them on my laptop and vice versa and my replies would only show up on the device where the replies originated. When I switched to the other device, conversations appear one sided - I can only see the series of messages my friends sent me in the conversation on the other device (without my replies).
Today, I was furious because I texted someone from my phone while at work and then thought that I never heard from them. I went home to discover that their reply only went to my Macbook Air, which had been sitting at home, closed, on the kitchen table!
I thought I fixed it because one or two messages I sent from my iPhone showed up on my laptop when I used it later in the day. However, I have yet to see this successfully happen again.
PLEASE FIX THIS BUG, APPLE.
Kind regards,
K

Hi,
What I am understanding form your post may not be what you think you are telling me.
Nor does it quite match what I thought I had posted. (post/message is only as good as it is understood by the recipient)
On the iPhone in the iMessages setting remove all additional emails.
Remove the Apple ID you are using for iMessages
Then place in Airplane Mode (ON) which turns everything else Off effectively.
this will leave Messages with just the iPhone number listed when you go back to the settings.
Wait for the iPhone Number to Verify (re-register) with the servers.
Apple IDs
I have an Apple ID I made years ago using an external email address from a Dial up provider.
At the start of iCloud I linked it to iCloud and received an @Me.com email ID either works in iTunes and logging in to the web page for iCloud.
Later I also got an @icloud.com email/ID
Sending an email to @me.com or @iCloud.com gets to my Mail App that lists the @me.com variant.
Emails sent to the original email address do not come through the Apple servers.
iMessages treats each as a separate ID.
It is important that the Apple ID used on the Mac and the first one used as the Apple ID in Messages on the iPhone are the same - even if they are linked elsewhere.
(It can be different to the iCloud setting on each device)
when you add the Apple ID to the iPhone the mac should get the Pop ups to say what the iPhone is using.
Accepting them adds the iPhone number to the Send and Receive options in the Mac version (And th Start conversations from drop down).
At this point on the Mac you should have only two IDs active to Receive and Send (the Apple ID and the iPhone Number).
Text Forwarding should then be enabled on the iPhone, prompting the Mac version to show you the code, which then needs entering on the iPhone.
There are limits to some Model of Mac regarding Handoff and Airplay (my mid 2011 iMac will do Airplay between Macs but not with iOS devices).
I am not sure if there are limits to Text Forwarding though.

Yosemite and Photoshop (CS5.1) Problem

I recently updated to Yosemite and now Photoshop (CS5.1) won't open and I get an error message: An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred. Photoshop will now exit. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a solution?

My answer may be somewhat late, but I had the same issues (Installed Yosemite but PS and Dreamweaver wouldn't operate without Java update). I went to the attached site >> and it solved the issue. Didn't have to reinstall CS5. Hope this works for you.

Just Re-formatted computer and reinstalled Windows XP; problems

Hey everyone, I just re-formatted my computer and reinstalled Windows XP, but I can't seem to connect to FIOS. I have the modem sitting on my desk next to me, and all the other computers in the house are connected to it by wire just fine, but when I replugged my wire back into my computer, nothing happened. I tried making a new internet connection, but it wouldn't let me do that for FIOS. The only thing I see under Network Connections is a 1394 connection, and it say Connected, Firewalled. I do not recall getting a CD or anything from the FIOS guy who installed it in our house a while back, so I have no clue what to do. Can someone please help?

I went to the dell website and put in dimension 8400. They do have the driver there.
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&ServiceTag=&SystemID=DIM_...=
It under network and is listed as "broadcom driver". Broadcom, Intel, Marvell are three companies that make network adapters. Since Broadcom driver is listed under network on the dell webpage I would assume that your machine has a broadcom network adapter. I would install that and see what happens.

Can time capsule be partitioned so as to back up osx with time machine and bootcamped windows drive with win 7 ulyimate

have imac 27 inch. I plan to bootcamp the drive and install win 7 ultimate to run AutoCAD. I want to backup the imac using time machine and the boot camped drive to one device. Can time capsule be partitioned to use time machine for osx and win 7 backup for bootcamp drive.

You cannot backup a Windows partition or system using Time Machine. Nor can you partition a TC as far as I know although Airport Utility may allow that now. See:
A whole lot about Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine.
Of course you should carefully read the documentation that came with your TC to find out what options are available.

MSI X48C Platinum Windows boot problem

Hi,
I tested the MSI X48c Platinum motherboard with windows xp Pro 64 bit, Windows 7 RC1 and Windows 7 Retail, all of them share the same problem so it has to be caused by hardware.
When I boot up at the logo of windows it freezes, when I reboot and chose to start the operating system normally it runs through. This freezing up seems to be random, sometimes when I power my machine it runs through it with no problem.

For testing only:
- use only one memory stick and one DDR2 Switch Card
- reduce the memory frequency to DDR2-667 in BIOS Setup and set the Memory Voltage to 1.9V
- disable Spread Spectrum
See if that changes anything. If it does, we have reasons to look for a memory problem
I run 64 bit operating system running it with only 2gb is not a problem? (i'm testing boot so gues not?).
memory frequency , voltage and Spread Spectrum should be all set or test them individually?

What is your current BIOS Version?

I have disabled Spread Spectrum and rebooted 12 times and all went good, have to test still with complete power down and boot to see if that works

Bluetooth Mouse Model No.A1197 and BootCamp Windows XP Pro

I used BootCamp to partition my iMac 24 inch late 2009 model between Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Windows XP Pro. The wireless mouse works fine on the Apple side but I can't get Windows to even recognize it. Any suggestions, other than buy a wired mouse?

Did you install the latest bootcamp drivers on the windows side? I have a macbook pro(12/2010) and the magic mouse works in win 7. The only thing that is not functional is swiping.

i'm using macbook pro 15-inch late 2011.
what can i do?
ps. i had an old NI audio kontrol 1 and there was just the same problem.
or its a question for Native Instruments support team?

i've just read these articles

Bootcamp:Windows 7 ` = \ problem

So, the problem I am having is that is many programs when I press the key that has a "`" on it i get the proper char "`" but others I get "\" I have my language settings set to "English(United States) - United States-International(Apple)" in almost any other setting I will only get "\" regardless of what program or context I am in.
Ex... if I press "`" into the address bar in windows file explorer I get a "\" and if i try renaming a file and press "`" i get the proper `. In this textbox it is the first case, I cannot properly type a `.
Any input would be appreciated.

rebooting seemed to have fixed the issue for almost all programs and contexts, but it still doesnt work in skyrim.

Tecra S10 - 123 and Linux Mandriva Boot Problem

I have a Tecra S10 - 123 since two months and wanted to install Mandriva on it (I do not have any experience with Linux...). I did burn the .iso Image to the Cd and changed the bios settings to boot from cd. That works without problems, but Mandriva stops to boot from the Live Cd after the Kernel has loaded.
What can I do?

I'm not sure what kernel Mandriva has in it's Live CD. If it runs a kernel that doesn't have AHCI compatibility built-in, it will fail for sure. In this case all what you have to do is to set "Compatibility" setting for your HDD in BIOS, to drop the SATA support. Other ways, just contact Mandriva support team and see what they can recommend you. And by the way, ask around what file systems are supported, so you won't have the same problem after installing.
