Hey thanks a bunch for that, I've seen that a lot--my problem is that I don't see have a partition tab under disk utilities.  what gives??
Thanks!

I did not say to use disk utility. I said use Boot Camp Assistant the same as you did when you created your Boot Camp partition. Only this time select remove the Boot Camp partition rather than create the partition. Using Boot Camp assistand will remove the Boot Camp partition, return your hard drive to a single OSx partition and will not affect your data on your OSx partition.

  • MY system folder, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac) How do I remove them

    I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. I had a problem with my my operating system (my fault, I moved a file I shoudnt have) couldnt boot up but was able to boot up from a backup. I managed to repair my original system except now all the system folders, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac).  For the most part the dupes are an exact copy, but not always.  I want to remove them to free up space and cant imagine duplicate folders in the /system/library are not hindering my computer. But I dont know where to start and am afraid of doing irreparable damage. Any ideas

  • MBP goes to Mac OSX utilities, How do I get it running without losing all my files?

I have a lot of files from school on here that I cannot lose. How can I get it running without losing all my files? Please helpp
    Thank you

    Do you have any backups?  I'm guessing not, from what you've said, in which case you may be about to learn the hard way why backups are important.
    First, when your computer boots into recovery mode, try using Disk Utility to repair the hard drive.  If there are no problems to repair, the cause is elsewhere.  If the problems are fixed, try rebooting and see if the system is working again.  If the problems cannot be fixed, you could try a program like DiskWarrior, which can fix things Disk Utility cannot.
    If repairs work, or were not necessary, but the system still won't start up, try reinstalling the system.  It will just install over your existing system files, leaving everything else intact.  (In theory, anyway...  if there's something badly wrong, you can never count on that, but without backups you have few choices.)
    If the disk absolutely cannot be repaired by anything, you can try recovering important files to another hard drive using something like Data Rescue, File Salvage or Stellar Phoenix.
    Regardless of what happens, you need to start backing up ASAP.  See my Mac Backup Guide for more information.

  • Is it possible to upgrade from 2.2.1 to 3.0 without losing my music ?

    Hi !
    My MacBook's hard disk is dead. So my music is gone, apart from the songs that are on my iPhone.
    I want to upgrade my iPhone from 2.2.1 to 3.0, and I can do it on another Mac.
    Can I do it without losing the music that's on my iPhone ?
    (or is there a way to save those songs somwhere, to bring them back on another computer ?)
    Thanks a lot for your help !
    ps: my apoligies for my lousy English (aah, those French... )

    I updated mine on a computer I actually don't sync with. I didn't lose anything.

  • Yosemite/mac pro: I can no longer move any folders or files around!

    I hava a Mac Pro (late 2013) with Yosemite 10.10.1, migrated from old former Mac Pro/Mavericks yesterday.
    I split files onto internal HD (system, some user data, all programs, Library, etc.) and pics, documents, iTunes Media onto external HD (RAID)
    I have all the rights to read/write folders and files.
    I can copy files from one location to another (via ctrl-context menu copy command), I can also delete files,
    But simply dragging files is nowhere possible!
    Not with each HD or between them
    What am I missing here, this is very very strange ...
    Please help, this is really urgent,
    bye,
    beatrice

    Thanks for jumping in to help.
    I can click a file or folder (highlight the icon/filename, rename, etc.) but I simply cannot drag it.
    the simpliest normal thing you do in the finder, moving files to a different location, is simply not possible (not with mouse, not with wacom pen)
    (I also cannot drag the icons around on the desktop, which is minor problem at the moment; I can create new folder though (but cannot move them)
    (I am Admin, have all rights to read/write)
    (when using the program Adobe Bridge (sort of image catalogue) I can move the files around)
    really strange....

  • Is it possible to transfer one single App from my iTunes onto my iPad, without losing the Apps that are already installed on my iPad?

    I originally had the app (FilmOn.TV) on my iPhone, so it is backed up in my iTunes on my PC. It's no longer available in the App Store and I would really like to have it on my iPad. When I read up on this, it seems to say that if I sync any apps from my iTunes onto my iPad, that any Apps currently on the iPad will be deleted.
    Can anyone tell me, please, is it possible to bring one single App across onto my iPad, without losing all of my existing ones.
    Thank you in advance.
    Brian.

    Do you think you could email me the Filmon .ipa file? I lost mine the other day, and it would be very handy.

  • Created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion.

    I have created three new users without Apple IDs and they can't log into either of my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini running Mountain Lion.  These accounts are for my kids and originally were setup with parental controls and time constraints.  Thinking this was the problem I removed the time constraints, removed the parental controls, deleted and re-added them, and made them standard users.  I have reinstalled, used disk utility to repair permissions, and made them admins.   Any help is appreciated.

    Users don't need Apple ID's. That's not the issue. Have you tried repairing permissions their accounts?

    Repairing User Permissions in OS X Lion
    You’ll need to reboot to perform this, and then use the same resetpassword utility that is used to change passwords in Lion, but instead choosing a hidden option.
    When you use the Disk Utility app and Repair Permissions — it doesn’t actually repair the permission settings on folders and files in your Home folder where your documents and personal applications reside.
    In Lion, there is an additional Repair Permissions application utility hidden away. This tool is located inside boot Repair Utilities. Here’s how to access it.
    Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.    You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
    The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
    At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
    The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

  • I just bought a recertified Mac Mini, and I wonder if anyone here knows if it's possible to hook up my Mac flat screen LCD monitor to it using what adapters? I currently have a DVI to ADC adapter connected to my G4 Powermac.

    I just bought a recertified Mac Mini core duo - it's not the newer model-, and I wonder if anyone here knows if it's possible to hook up my Mac flat screen LCD monitor to it  and using what adapters? I currently have a DVI to ADC adapter connected to my G4 Powermac.
    The company I bought it from is not Apple, and I may regret that. It was in my price range, though.
    This is the first time I've used this community, and I've been a Mac owner since 2000. Thanks in advance!

    when you say "Mac flat screen LCD", do you mean this:

  • Why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

    why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

    This is cause by the way the App Store checks to see if an application is installed on your system.
    Basically when an app is installed it is in the Applications folder and this is where the MAS looks for them. So it looks at your purchase history for the apps you bought and looks in the Applications folder to see if they are installed. If an app is in your purchase history but not in the Applications folder the MAS says you need to install it.
    For normal apps this works fine but the OS doesn;t install into the Applications folder. So the MAS sees you have Mountain Lion in your purchase history but it's not in the Applications folder and so it says you need to download it.
    Hopefully one of these days Apple wil fix this.

  • Is it possible to start a MacBookPro in target mode with a MacBookAir?

    Is it possible to start a MacBookPro in target mode with a MacBookAir?
    I have a MacBookPro and I would like to start it in a target mode using a MacBookAir as a disk cible,
    is it possible to do it?  Which cale or adapter do I need to do it?

    Yes, you can use Target Disk Mode with a suitable adapter:
    OS X Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
    To determine the cable you need requires you describe which MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models you have. The latest ones have Thunderbolt ports, for which you can use a Thunderbolt cable. If the MacBook Pro has only a FireWire port, you can use a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter. Early MacBook Air models have neither.

  • Is there any possible ways to get the MAC address?

    Hi guys:
    I am writing servlets on the server side. Is there any possible ways to get the MAC address when a HTTP request come in? Thank you very much for any helps.
    all the best!

    It is usually impossible to get the MAC address of the maker of a HTTP request in any programming language or system.
    At best, you can get the MAC of the closest intervening router, firewall, whatever.
    Are you sure you mean the MAC address? MAC looks like this: 8:ab:f0:0:71:bb:90 (Ethernet), or 01-23-45-67-89-ab (Token Ring), etc, depending on your network type.
    In contrast, an IP address looks like this: 209.249.116.195. If you want the IP address, check out the javadoc for HttpServletRequest and ServletRequest. Caveat: load balancers, web caches, proxy servers, etc will mask the "true" peer's address. Don't do anything silly like try to use the IP address for security or authentication.

    No unless we are talkign about a late 2009 or 2010 27" iMac. Otherwise PC's don't have the correct outputs. Please look over Apple's FAQ on that subject (Target Display Mode) and you will see what I mean:

  • I can't erase, reboot, repartition or instal mac os x leopard on my hard dr

    I can't erase, reboot, repartition or instal mac os x leopard on my hard drive.
    I tried installing windows xp using bootcamp. I think I accidently installed it on the same partition as leopard. I didnt complete the installation of windows xp. but leopard got deleted.
    I tried to reinstall leopard. I wont let me do it cause my hard drive is partition't as a windows nt file system (NTFS). I cant repartition it either using disk utility cause for some reason its read only.
    Can someone help me.

    Do this:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from theUtilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
    Quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the Leopard installation. After you've installed Leopard you can use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Windows.
