Bootcamp won't let me remove partition without 10gb free space

I want to free up my mac by deleting the windows partition but boot camp won't let me because I don't have enough free space UGH! I can't get to the selection in boot camp that allows you to check "remove partition" because I keep getting a pop up window telling me I don't have 10 gb free space and therefore can't continue.  This is a real glitch. They shouldn't have the remove partition feature behind this minimum requirement.  Any suggestions around this? I've already deleted everything I can but don't want to keep trying to find more if someone has a better idea. Thanks.

  • I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

    I have a new mac and want to sync my phone to the iTunes on it, but it won't let me manually manage without deleting all music on the phone already from another iTunes. is there a way around this?

    The best solution:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    An alternative which is really not what you should have to do, or the way it is intended to be done, if you properly manage your computer and backups:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above).  For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    Do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up.

    Try "Pacifist"!
    Pacifist is an application for Mac OS X that opens up .pkg installer packages, .dmg disk images, .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .pax, and .xar archives, and more, and lets you install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package

  • IPhone won't let me remove default email

    iPhone 4 won't let me remove the default email, nor can I add an email. I don't like having the email accessible ALL the time. What do I do???

    It worked! .. I tried the restart by holding the home and power button but it didn't work for me. So I tried: Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    And it worked.
    Thanks!
    P.S. whoever tries this, your contacts might go out of order, so go to Setting>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>scroll to Contacts>Sort Order or Display Order.... And don't worry, your pics, downloaded apps, and other data doesn't get erased.

  • How to merge my disk partition with the free space

    Hello! I have a macbook pro mid 2010 with Mavericks, I had 2 partitions and deleted one with the disk utility.
    Now I want to expand the one that I have left but I can't, I cannot drag the corner of the partition because it is below of the free space.
    I will post a picture so you can understand better.  Also I tried using iPartitions but it won't let me make any changes. Thank you
    I don't know if anyone can see the picture so i'm leaving a url:  https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/505x387q90/745/WaiZID.png

    You need to create a partition in the free space, clone the content of Macintosh HD 2 to it, restart from the newly-created partition, and delete the one currently listed as Macintosh HD 2.

  • Boot Camp won't let me remove my windows partition, please help

    I am trying to remove my windows partition and boot camp won't let me. It gives me a message +" The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."+ Please help!!!!!

  • I have an ipad and an iphone.  For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associated my email address with just the ipad and my cell number with just the iphone.  I went to settings facetime on the iphone but it won't let me remove the email address.

    Please see above.  I have both an ipad and and iphoen.  For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associate only my email address with the ipad and only the phone number iwht the iphobne.  However, I cannot remove the email address from the iphone.  So, when I get a facetime via email, it rings on both the iphone and ipad.  Settings>>facetime will not let me remove the email.

    I wouldn't want to say exactly, however I would imagine that it has to do with the fact you use the same Apple ID on both devices. Since Facetime was activated on the phone, with the number, and then activated on the iPad with the email and same Apple ID, they are somehow linked. I'm not sure that you can separate it without having a different Apple ID on the two devices. Otherwise you can look at this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367 and see if that helps you any.

  • OS X Lion won't let me resize partitions

    I've install OS X Lion a different partition successfully. After realizing that I loved Lion I wanted to downsize my Snow Leopard partition I succesfully do that but now it won't let me expand my Lion partition!
    HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!!

    I had the same problem too.  I had upgraded Snow Leopard to Lion, but then found out some of my apps would not run in Lion.  So i created another partition and installed Snow Leopard on it so I could dual boot between Lion and Snow Leopard.  The problem was that I didn't leave enough room on my Lion partition to work with some video editing I was doing.  So I tried to enlarge my Lion partition and reduce my Snow Leopar partition but had no success.
    I thought that if I deleted my Snow Leopard partition that I would be able to resize my Lion partition to use the entire drive.  That didn't work.
    So I tried to boot from the Lion Recovery Partition, but when I tried to apply the changes of resizing my Lion partition it would fail withe a message that it couldn't unmount the drive.
    But here is what I did that FINALLY worked (and this was while booted into my normal Lion partition):
    Enter the following command into Terminal
         defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled 1
    Open Disk Utility
    Now there is a DEBUG menu at the top.  Go DEBUG and select SHOW EVERY PARTITION
    Now you will see the RECOVERY HD partition under your LION partition.
    Select the RECOVERY HD partition and click MOUNT at the top
    Now you can expand your LION partition
    My guess is that since Disk Utility couldn't see the hidden recovery partition and since that partition is physically AFTER the Lion partition it could not resize.  But by mounting the hidden Recover Partition, then Disk Utility was able to move the Recovery Partition and expand the Lion partition.
    Now I just need to create a partian to reinstall snow leopard into ( I will make it smaller this time so I have more room on my Lion partition).
    Hope this helps.
    And here's a link to the article I used to find out how to show the hidden partion:

  • How do I delete songs from my iPhone 5? Every time I try, it redownloads it immediately and won't let me remove it.

    My iPhone 5 says I have 659 songs in my library, which I do NOT want. I have thousands of songs in my iTunes library, and the 659 refer to songs I have specifically purchased from iTunes and not my personal collection of physical albums that I have added to iTunes. I prefer my iPod to listen to music as I find the battery life on iPhones to be absolutely terrible. These 659 songs are taking up too much memory, I never wanted them to be on the phone in the first place and never had this problem until my phone was stolen and whilst sorting out the replacement model, the songs appeared in the new phone's music folder. They're all listed with the cloud and arrow download symbol next to them, it won't let me delete them from the phone unless I have clicked the little cloud symbol and downloaded them. Once they're downloaded, it lets me swipe to delete, then the song reappears.
    Oddly, when I connect my iPhone to my computer, it states I only have 59 songs on my phone and all settings are set to manually allow me to manage what songs are on my iPhone 5 - ironic, considering it doesn't let me manage them at all. Yet, whenever I try to delete a song, whether it be connected to my computer or not, it automatically re-downloads it in a matter of seconds, refusing to allow me to delete it and hogging up much needed memory. I am honesty at my wit's end with this, any help would be hugely appreciated. I have tried all options listed in discussion groups thus far and NOTHING has worked - the phone just downloads the songs again.

    Hi
    How to Delete Songs That you dont want anymore- I have the Answer
    Go to "setting" - then click "General" - then click "Usage" then wait for the apps to load, once loaded....click on "Video", and then delete the video file (do the same withe Music App).
    Thanks

  • I am trying to export all of the separate audio files from Logic Pro X so that I can transfer them into pro Pro Tools, however it won't let me do it without the panning information. The option to untick panning is greyed out. How can I do it?

    I have exported the separate audio files, but it contains the panning information. When the export pop up window opens, the export with panning information box is ticked, but it is greyed out so it won't let me unselect it. How do I fix this problem?

    A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
    *There has got to be a simpler way.*
    I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
    BACKUP:  It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR.  Really?!
    Yes, really

  • Bootcamp won't install windows after partition

    I am attempting to install with windows 10 preview via bootcamp. I've had it running in Parallels just fine but want to run it using bootcamp and then run the bootcamp partition through Parallels.
    I went through the bootcamp assistant, made the bootable usb drive with the drivers and then went to partition the drive. Once the partition finishes, the Mac reboots with no warning. It reboots right back to the login screen for mac. If I go to the disk utility I see the BOOTCAMP partition there.
    Tried rebooting holding the option key and the only option is the Mac, no Bootcamp partition. I've tried deleting and re-creating the partition and it still isn't available as a boot option.
    How do I fix this?

  • My macbook won't let me RE-partition my hard drive in boot camp

    i had windows installed, but i restored my HD back to a single volume because i wanted to make the windows partition bigger
    but its saying i have to format my drive before i can partition it
    any suggestions?

    Apart from reformatting your drive? The problem with the Boot Camp active repartitioning is that it does require quote a bit of free space beyond the size of the partition you wish to create. So it's possible that it's actually no possible to create the partition you're after given your Mac OS X disk usage.
