Y at - it an indicator to show how much my mac started from?

I just cloned my internal hard drive, so I should have 2 bootable volumes now.  I went to test (to ensure that the cloned disk works and is able to start properly my iMac).  I restarted the iMac using the down option. I chose the clone of startup, but now I can not tell how much actually started.

I mean, if my cloned drive did not work, my iMac would automatically go to the next to start from option (which would be my original internal drive), and I don't know the difference.

Y at - it a flag somewhere showing me my iMac is running the operating system out of the volume?  I just want to be sure that my cloned drive works before you make changes to the internal drive...

I use OS x Lion 10.7.5 on an iMac of mid-2011.

Launch the Terminal (Launchpad: other: Terminal).

Type the following text in blue to get the boot drive (where both are Macintosh HD).

bless $- info - getboot

/ dev/disk0s2

Otherwise, Apple Logo: about this Mac: boot disk

  • How it delete and start from scratch?

    All I want to do is clear on my computer and restart from scratch. I have all my records, but he said not how to this in the instruction manuals... only includes restoration at some point and I don't want to restore. How it delete and start from scratch? I've saved my files to an external hard drive.

    If you are sure you want to do this - and it of a radical step, is generally not necessary - you potentially have two choices.

    In addition to your data, make sure that you have saved the downloaded installation files and their activation keys, as appropriate.

    Some computers manufactured by large OEMs have a hidden partition to "restore" that will allow you to restore the computer to its "fresh from the factory" State.  Alternatively, the manufacturer may have provided a 'recovery' or 'restore' CD/DVD which will accomplish the same thing.  One of the important side effects: test facilities of things like antivirus applications will install but not triggered because the trial period had been used.  You must uninstall these completely (using the "removal tool" provided by a / v manufacturer) before installing a real a / v application.

    On the other hand, you can have a genuine Windows XP install CD, although these are rare.  If that's what you have, you want to do what is called a "clean install".  Don't forget to install your device drivers after the Windows Installer is finished (card mother/chipset, network card, sound card, video card, etc.).

    In both cases, after Windows has been installed, the first thing we do is go to Windows Update and install all critical updates.  Then you can install all the applications you have installed after you purchased the computer.  They must be installed from the original media (a downloaded Setup program that you have registered or a CD/DVD).  If none of these applications are Microsoft applications, return to Microsoft Update and get updates critical for these applications.

  • where on a dell computer does show how much ink you have left?

    I'd like to see how much ink I have left cartridges but don't know if the dell computer has this facility. Anyone out there who knows?

    This depends on the printer you are using and the driver that you have installed, for instance, I have an older HP printer and a Windows 7 install, I only downloaded the base of 64-bit driver and cannot view my ink level, if I download the complete software suite will include probably the Toolbox and that will allow me to see the level of ink. I'm not bothered by what I still get notifications when levels are low, it's time to buy new cartridges but there is always a loot of ink left right there I wait until I have a question before you change. Epson printers can be a little picky and will not let you print until you change the cartridge after the first warning.

    The normal way is to go to devices and printers (from the control panel or menu) right click on your printer and go to Printer preferences or properties of the printer and are looking for an interview or a box tab in tools. Some software of printer displays ink levels during the process of printing such as Epson, Lexmark.

    My advice is always software DOWNLOAD of printer from the manufacturers web site.

  • How can I move starting from the upper right of the screen in the lower left corner of the screen?

    For some reason, I accidentally hit a button that my Start Microsoft button moved to the upper right of the screen. I'd rather start at the bottom left of the screen. Please notify.

    Thank you.

    Sorry, this isn't a problem of Firefox support. The Start button is part of the Windows XP operating system.
