I recently installed a full licensed windows 10 home edition through boot camp. I have a MacBook Pro 2105. I cannot get back to Mac OS X.
Using bootcamp to switch from Windows 10 to a Mac When I downloaded Windows 10 I lost the bootcamp icon that allowed me to switch back to my Mac. Anyone know how to find and restore that icon to the task bar/tray? You can go back and forth between OS X and Windows on your Mac, but you can’t run both operating systems simultaneously under Boot Camp. Instead, you have to boot one operating system or the other — thus, the name Boot Camp. Restart your Mac, and hold down the Option key until icons for each operating system appear onscreen.
I've tried multiple times restarting/powering off computer and pressing down the option key. It does give me the icon to click to switch to Mac but every time I click on it, it restarts and gives me a symbol with a circle and slash (indicating it can't/ won't perform the function). And the computer still windows mode.
I've also tried the icon panel in the bottom right which I can open up bootcamp control panel. It gives me a choice to restart in Mac or windows.
I choose Mac and the same thing happens. When it restarts, I get that circle with a slash and I am still in windows. Pleas help if you have an answer.
MacOS High Sierra and macOS Mojave upgrade solid-state drives to Apple File System (APFS), which requires to switch between Windows and macOS. If you choose 'Restart in OS X' from the Windows Boot Camp menu, this message might appear: 'Could not locate the OS X boot volume.' Follow these steps to boot into macOS or Windows:. Restart your Mac, then immediately hold down the Option key. Release the Option key when you see the Startup Manager window. Select your macOS or Windows startup disk, then click the arrow or press Return. Repeat these steps any time you need to switch between operating systems.
