My macbook won't reboot into Os X, only windows

I have a brand new white core 2 duo macbook, and I have installed boot camp. The boot camp I installed is two weeks old, one version behind the newest released this month. So I get an Os X update, and it tells me to reboot.

I reboot.

I'm stuck at the apple.

I reboot.

Stuck at apple.

I reboot... holding option, to chooe OS. I boot into windows.

I get into window fine. I browse the internet, hardware is fine.

I reboot into mac, and my girlfrend says "let it go for awhile!". It sounds like good advice.

I let it sit... nothing.

It won't reboot into os x! Why?

    I don't really understand the last 3 lines.

    Anyways, what's wrong with holding down the option key? That's what I have to do.

    Hunt the mac thread down in G&T, you're more likely to get an answer :)

    After OS X updates it sometimes will spend a LONG time at the spinning circle apple logo grey background screen. It doesn't help that you've interrupted that process a few times now, but try holding command-V (apple-V) on bootup for a 'verbose' boot - it should show you where it's getting stuck.

    hold down the option key while you boot up, select the mac partition to boot up

    then you might want to go into system preferences and select your mac partition as your start up drive

    Yeah, no, this last update takes a long time... I got impatient and thought it was frozen. It was in fact, not. Just turn it on and let it go, it's just because you're restarting from an update.

    PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!

    EDIT: and yeah, you probably should not have rebooted so many times and also rebooted to Windows. Shoulda let it run the first time. Maybe you fucked something up by doing that.
