Cant get rid of Partition

I try to get rid of a bootcamp partition that i had set aside for windows vista. I have seen the earlier topics regarding this problem and i go to boot camp assistant and try to click continue so i can get rid of the partition but it just says "The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."

you made a Time machine partition on the same drive as the OS? that's a bad idea. you should get a different drive and back up to that. if anything happens to your main drive you'll loose everything at once.
try deleting the TM partition using disk utility so that you only have two partitions. absorb the resulting free space into the OS X partition. see if bootcamp assistant lets you remove the windows partition after that. if this doesn't work (it may not) then clone the OS X partition to another drive, boot from that drive, reformat the internal drive to one partition and clone the clone back. you can use CCCloner or Superduper for cloning. you can also just use the restore tab in disk utility.

  • I call a class using a Button but i cant get rid of the old page??

    Hey,
    I cant get rid off the current page when i want to go to the next page! this.dispose(); doesnt work because the class doesnt implement ActionListener!! This is the code that i have used:
    JButton back = new JButton("BACK");
            back.addActionListener(new ActionListener()       
                  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)           
                       VowelmSound s = new VowelmSound();
                        s.setSize(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());
                        s.show();
                        //this.dispose();           
             });         });       and this is the code for main
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {JFrame draw = new punjabidraw();   
             draw.setVisible(true);  
    }so was wondering if there was another method i could use to get rid of the old page?? repaint maybe???
    Hope you can help
    Kind Regards
    RSH

    //this.dispose(); 'This' is a nameless ActionListener object. Can't be dispose()ed.
    What do you want to dispose() really?
    And, what is your punjabidraw class?
    Save the currend page reference in a variable called, say, curPage, then do
    curPage.dispose();in the event handler for the button.

  • I have an app in my app store that is requiring an update but I never purchased the app and when I click update, another apple ID pops up that is not mine.  Now i keep getting reminders to update the app and I cant get rid of it from the app store.  Help.

    I have an app in my app store that is requiring an update but I never purchased the app and when I click update, another apple ID pops up that is not mine.  Now i keep getting reminders to update the app and I cant get rid of it from the app store.  Help.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • HT2500 CANT GET RID OF GMAIL LABELS ON APPLE MAIL.

    Hi,
    Can somebody please help me.
    I was using Apple Mail with my Gmail for quite some time then I had to use Outlook provided by my workplace. I recently left the job and now back on using Apple mail to manage my gmail.
    I just noticed that there's this weird thing 'labels'. I spent some time going through threads and changed settings few times..... but I cant get rid of this [google mail] underneath my mailboxes which I used to see and use before.
    I dont like to see this  [google mail] thing as it seems a duplication to me.
    And since I dont access usually from gmail via webmail but more often with Apple Mail, I liked how it worked - delete on Apple Mail gets deleted on gmail server.... I just want to use it as it was before.....
    I cant find the way and since theres no contact email for google nor help centre, can someone please please help me? Im attaching screenshots here below...
    I JUST HATE UGLY UNNECESSARY STUFF ON MY LAYOUT¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ in this case - the label...
    Many thanks,

  • A message has popped  up in safari saying we have won a prize cant get rid of it

    a message has popped  up in safari saying we have won a prize cant get rid of it

    Try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Then when the iPad has restarted clear Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    You could also close Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

    all of sudden a new search engine started in place of google and i cant get rid of that even i uninstalled and reinstalled many times but that problem still there,seem to be some some type of bug in latest firefox .

    Hi naveen,
    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Search bar]]. Your default search might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage and change your search engine.
    If the address bar search has been changed as well, you might want to take a look at [[Location bar search]].
    If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]]. We've also got a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/removing-babylon-searchqu-or-mystart list of common search related issues] that might be helpful.
    Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].

  • HT1430 there is a lock icon on my Itouch 2nd gen, screen and i cant get rid of it i have restored it several times and restarted it several times also

    there is a lock icon on my Itouch 2nd gen, screen and i cant get rid of it i have restored it several times and restarted it several times also

    What you do mean a lock icon?
    On the whole screen or just in the status bar where it shows "iPod" and Time/Battery?
    If the icon's there everything's ok. The feature was removed in iOS 6, anyways, the icon should be only in the lock screen.
