You can't change the startup disk to the selected disk?

System Preferences: Startup Disk: Bootcamp (Windows 7 64): "You can't change the startup disk to the selected disk. The bless tool unable to set bootcamp disk"

I got the same problem, only with Win 7, but after a day's search on the net I found a solution. Something very simple and easy to use.
Open up Terminal and run the following command, where DISK NAME is the name of the disk you want to boot in. PS. use the quotes (") if you disk's name is longer than 2 words.
sudo bless -mount /Volumes/"DISK NAME" -setBoot
THIS WORKED FOR ME!!

    If you are past the return date, you can sell the older iPad and put the money towards a new one.
    Plus, old iPads make great gifts ! ! !

    The same I guess as if your work won't let you do anything - not a lot
    I would hold fire at the moment as I think its too early to be changing router security - I have no inside information but like many I suspect its a combination of firmware updates to routers and a patch needed on the iPad. If solely the latter then it will be fine for you, but if for example, the work routers are using Cisco Clean Connect, then there will be little you can do - it will be up to work I'm afraid.

  • HT1766 HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER?????

    HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER????? because my c drive in the windows computer gets filled and i need to back up my ipod to a portable hard disk.. bt i dont know how to do it.. plz help

    you can't change the backup folder as far as I know, but you can choose to move backups. The information you need can be found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
    Hope this helps
    Regards,
    Stijn

  • On an iMac I can't enter any text in safari or Firefox header bar. In all my program's I just have the arrow cursor and can't change to any tools in the tool bars - please help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier.  Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security.  If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.

  • Can i change my old ipod to the new one with priceless

    I have an ipod, they said ipod touch 3 8gb, they said... Now i can't do anything with this because too many apps require IOS >4.2.1
    So i have a question: Can i change my old ipod to the new one with priceless.
    Thanks for reading
    p/s: im living in San Francisco now

    Wow! Give us a chance!
    I live in the UK (about five minutes drive from the Olympic cycle race route. Didn't you notice me waving to the cameras? ). Not far from you , but far enough away that I might be doing something else, even if the cycle race has finished. The same applies to everyone else too. I'm eight hours ahead of you, so if it's 9pm now, where you are, it's five in the morning where I am and most of us here will still be inspecting the inside of our eyelids!
    Now, about your problem.
    If your iPod is 8GB, then it is not a 3rd generation Touch - no matter who they are and no matter who said it was! If it has model number A1288 etched into the casing on the back, then that identifies the 2nd gen Touch. (Yes, there is a 4th gen Touch in 8Gb capacity, but still no 8GB 3rd gen - ever). The third generation is model No. A1318.
    Can i change my old ipod to the new one with priceless. I don't understand what that means, unless you mean "with the price difference". In which case, the answer is "no".
    Even more confusing is; Now i can't do anything with this because too many apps require IOS >4.2.1 because -
    a 2nd generation Touch (including the 8GB) can install iOS 4.2.1 But that's as high as it can go. So that's incorrect! 
    you can still use any App that doesn't require a higher iOS than you have. So still incorrect!
    you can still use it as a music player, so guess what, wrong again!
    ... to store your photos - you know what I'm going to say now, don't you?
    ... and play those videos!
    So wrong, wrong and wrong!

  • Message# AA649 In area 01, you can only post manual dep. up to the amount

    hi friends
    when i do the transaction in ABAA ,it went error said that In area 01, you can only post manual dep. up to the amount  0
    i had select allowed all value in unplan depreciation ,and why the detail message said the The asset does not have any net book value; in this case, you should check the transaction as described above.
    Asset affected: 000025100073-0000
    Diagnosis
    This posting cannot be performed, since manual depreciation can only be posted in the amount of            0.00 in area 01.
    Procedure
    Check the transaction type entered, or change the posting amount.
    Caution:  If the amount concerned is 0, this could be the result of two situations:
    1. The asset does not have any net book value; in this case, you should check the transaction as described above.
    2. The asset has a depreciation key with automatic depreciation calculation. However, if you want to include depreciation in addition to the automatically calculated depreciation, it has to be unplanned depreciation.
    Otherwise, you should use a depreciation key that does not calculate automatic depreciation (SAP-supplied key: MANU).
    thanks

    Hi,
    1)  Transaction type 640 normally is a previous year transaction type. My suggestion is that you have no values from previous years.
    You use the transaction type 640.
    Please check if it works with transaction type 650.
    Check the setting from the transaction types:
    Table TABW (SE16)
    =================
    Trans. Type........Trans.Type grp.
    640.........................64
    650.........................65
    Table TABWG                                                                   
    ==============     
    Trans.Type grp. ...........Curr.-yr.acq. transaction                                                             
    64                                                                            
    65..................................................X      
    The difference between this 2 transaction types 640 and 650 is the sign TABWG-XZUGNE (Current-year acquisition transaction) in the transaction type group.                                                                               
    2. Please see the text passage from 13221 point 2:                                                                               
    2.  An incorrect depreciation key is used. Manual depreciation and        
        automatic calculation of the same depreciation type are mutually      
        exclusive.                                                            
        If another depreciation must be set in addition to the automatically  
        calculated depreciation, there has probably been an unplanned         
        depreciation.                                                         
        If the asset should have only manual depreciation, please use         
        another depreciation key, for example, 'MANU'.     ..."      
    regards Bernhard

  • Get Info - "you can" - greyed or non greyed - what is the diff ?

    in looking at any OSX Tiger Get Info window - why are some of them greyed out where it says " you can"
    its probably a permissions thing - but the rub isn't coming to me yet....

    It is entirely permissions related.
    If it's greyed out, you don't have sufficient privileges to change those permissions to something else.
    If it's not greyed out, you do, so you can grant/deny privileges to others.

    Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
    You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

  • Can I change my family plan to the month to month plan prior to my contract end date and still use the same phone without an etf

    can I change my family plan to the month to month plan prior to my contract end date and still use the same phone without an etf

        Great question dreyfusdad !
    I understand it’s always good to be aware of the changes once your contract is completed and I’m happy to help you. You can log into My Verizon to view the contract end date. Tikibar1, thank you for pointing in the right direction; it will automatically continue to bill you as usual, but it will be on a month to month basis. It will keep you on a post paid account; however, if you wanted to transfer to a Prepaid account the process may be different. We’d love the opportunity to review your account for the best plan for you. Please let us know if we can help you with that.
