Are you able to do a non destructively enlarge a volume using Disk Utility?

I have searched a number of articles in the forums, many archived, and I haven't found a clear answer to whether you can enlarge a volume non destructively using Disk Utility.
I am running a G4 PPC OSX 10.4.11 and am working with a Maxtor 300GB FireWire HDD. The volume I am trying to enlarge is the second volume on the Maxtor with free space following it.
I have followed the *Disk Utility Help file* on how to *enlarge a volume*, but cannot complete the procedure because *Step 5 refers to an Apply button*, *but there is none apparent*. There is a Partition button available but then that warns of destroying all the volumes on the disk.
Disk Utility Version 10.5.6.
Thanks for the help.

Your drive just be partitioned using GUID which is only available for Intel machines. An APM partitioned drive cannot be resized on the fly using Disk Utility on a PPC Mac. There are some third-party partitioning utilities like iPartition that may be able to do so on a PPC machine.

  • How do you fix bad blocks on an external hard drive without using disk utility

    so basically does anyone know how to fix bad blocks on a external hard drive without using disk utlility please

    Oh...if you have data you are trying to save then its best to try cloning the drive to another one, which should save its data as-is to another drive. Hopefully you can do so without there being hangups around the bad blocks and keep at least most of your data intact. I'd recommend you try using Carbon Copy Cloner to do this, but you will need a secondary drive that is at least the size of the data on the problematic drive.

  • With the latest version of itunes, are you able to search your library by purchase date?

    With the latest version of itunes, are you able to search your library by purchase date?  My prior itunes software had Name, Time, Artist, Album, Genre, Rating, Plays and Purchased.  With Version 11.0.3 of itunes, 'Purchased' is not a tabbed option to sort.  Can this be added?
    Thanks.

    Hey jeffwcincy,
    Great question, we simply need to check "Purchased Date" from the View Options menu.
    In iTunes 11, click the "View" menu and choose "Show View Options". Located under "Stats" is the "Purchase Date" option.

  • On closing Photoshop CC, I am getting an error message on screen that read's "Selective Palette error: no element found at line 1. Are you able to assist with this problem?

    Can anyone shed some light on this error message I am getting upon closing Photoshop CC
    I am getting an error message on screen that read's "Selective Palette error: no element found at line 1. Are you able to assist with this problem?

    Same issue here in WI and for me it was at 6:36p CST.
    I'm changed my password, removed iCloud from my phone ... tried 3G and WIFI with no luck. I also cannot check it on my Mac or iPad. I was able to get contacts and calenders back on my phone but no mail yet.
    Did the whole Apple support thing and apparently I'm part of the 1%
    EDIT: Question: are all of you former MobileMe users as well? Just wondering because I know there were going to be some changes as they completely move MobileMe over to iCloud and drop the "extra" services. I just can't remember if it was just a single cut off date or a series of dates. THAT email is stuck in my iCloud folders.

  • WHEN YOU PURCHASE RV SHOWS FROM ITUNES ARE YOU ABLE TO PUT IT ON A DVD AND WATCH ON A REAL TV?

    When you purchase a TV show from itunes are you able to put it on a DVD to watch on a real TV?

    Sorry, but no, you can't. The content owners won't allow Apple to allow that feature. You can back up your videos, but you cannot convert them to any other format. If you want play video/movie content purchased from the iTunes Store on your TV, you'll need to connect your computer to your TV or use an iOS device or iPod (one with video out) or an Apple TV.
    Regards.

  • HT3209 If you buy a movie on the IPad in HD(720p) are you able to download in 1080p resolution? Or do you have to buy the 1080p or is there even such a thing?

    If you buy a movie on the IPad in HD(720p) are you able to download in 1080p resolution? Or do you have to buy the 1080p or is there even such a thing?

    As far as I can tell, yes. I purchased an HD movie on my old Apple TV 2 (720p) and just upgraded to the Apple TV 3 (1080p) and it displays 1080p on the info sheet and plays in that quality, so I have a feeling the same should go for you with your iPad.

    Only if it was purchased on the App Store. Otherwise, read the software license that came with the DVD.

  • After purchasing the 9.99 plan and you decide that you do not want to use it anymore, do you use loose your photos?  Are you able to save them your hard drive and such?

    after purchasing the 9.99 plan and you decide that you do not want to use it anymore, do you use loose your photos?  Are you able to save them your hard drive and such?

    But all the adjustments that you apply in Lightroom, if you do not export to a rasterized format, will be inaccessible.  You'll still have your catalog file, for if you want to re-inlist in the future, but it won't do anything for you without Lightroom.  The same thing will go for Photoshop files like PSD, but obviously if you save to standard image formats you'll be fine.
    It's one of the issues that keeps me away from the plan.  Not being able to edit individual files in PS is one thing, but Lightroom is a photo organization system.  I don't want to rent the system I use to organize 10s of thousands of files.

  • HT204088 Are you able to view iTunes purchase history on an iPad?

    Are you able to view iTunes purchase history on an iPad? I am looking for purchase price as well.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The level of information that you seek is available in the iTunes app on a computer. You can view the invoices for your entire purchase history for both the iTunes stores and the Mac App Store from there.

    Hi
    Logic Studio is not available anymore, so unless you can find an "old stock" copy somewhere, you will never be able to upgrade in the future.
    Logic Pro 9 has all the content from the Studio box available for download, with the exception of the 20G of Soundtrack Pro content. Soundtrack Pro is no longer available at all.
    Logic Studio also contained several other applications: Mainstage, Compressor (available separately from the AppStore), Waveburner (no longer available), plus some other utilities.

    If you make backups in iCloud, it stores your three last backups. Older backups are deleted and can't be recovered.

  • How do you use disk utility to burn a bootable .iso dvd?

    Anybody have a clue on how you use disk utility to burn a .iso bootable dvd disk?
    I'm trying to install windows 7 rc into virtual box in OS X 10.5.7 and cannot figure out how to do this. I've already installed the windows 7 beta in virtual box and was able to make a bootable dvd disk with the .iso file on it but have no clue how I did this.
    I've been searching the web but most tips are for older version of OS X.
    Thanks to anybody who answers.

    It's so easy, You can just burn an .iso file using DVD Creator Std instead of Disk Utility, only 3 steps to finish bur ning your .iso files:
