Can I get rid of a windows partition on a MacBook running 10.4.11 without having bootcamp or bootcamp beta?

Can I get rid of a windows partition on a MacBook running 10.4.11 without having bootcamp or bootcamp beta? If so, how?

Yes, I think so, as would Snow Leopard probably. If your computer meets the requirements it would only cost $29 to buy Snow Leopard versus $129 for Leopard.
Snow Leopard General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Leopard System requirements
You must have a Macintosh computer with:
an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor
a DVD drive >built-in FireWire
at least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)
a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
at least 9 GB of disk space available, or 12 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

MAC OS X version 10.6.8

If you are running OS 10.6.8 it has to be Intel.
Serious slowdowns, if not due to a hard drive failing, are caused by unnecessary third-party software. Please answer the following questions:
1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?

When starting up my computer, I get a window that says - apple sync notifier.exe - entry point not found. how can i get rid of this window?

When I start up my computer, I get a window that pops up that says * AppleSyncNotifier.exe - entry point not found. it also says the procedure entry point xmltextreadername could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2 .dll. . What does this mean and how can I get rid of it?

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Now paste it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

How can I get rid of the mac partition and leave windows?

My 2009 MacPro is currently partition into MacOSX 10.7.5 and Windows 7. I would like to delete the mac side completely and just leave windows on. I want to do this so I can regain the memory into the windows side and have this laptop be windows ONLY. Please don't ask why, is simply what I want to do but if you must know... I'm buying the new Pro and I rather keep this old one with windows especially since I have invested $ into the window programs like access and I don't want to loose them but I also don't feel is worth spending more money on windows. The only reason I have windows is because unfortunately and I hate to admit it but apple is not always good for college or business when you need to run programs that are only friendly with windows. Anyways it comes down to not loosing what I invested so I rather keep all the memory in this old computer with windows and all the new memory I'm getting on my new pro with just apple.

Your best option is to backup, SAVE, all your Windows personal files and program install files that you may have on the drive along with the most current version of the Boot Camp Assistant driver package download to an external drive. Then use a Window 7 install DVD to completely erase, repartition, the drive and foramt it NTFS then install Windows all by itself. Yes you can do that.
Fooling with the current partitions may cause the system to become unbootable until you use a OS X or a Win 7 installer DVD.

How can I get rid of a windows update deployment package?

We are using SCCM 2007 with a primary site server and four child sites.
I created a windows update list with a source directory and package.
Distributed the package to my primary site server and then from a child site distributed to a long list of distribution points on the child site and three other child sites below it.
This all worked fine we used the list and package to deploy security updates and added to the list each month, automatically distributing to all sites and distribution points.
One month the distribution failed on one child site, all the other sites and distribution points got the refreshed package no problem. (Probably caused by the backup running on that site.)
This became a permanent problem which we finally fixed by creating a new list and package.
Now I'm trying to do a cleanup of the old package and partially failed distribution.
I've started by deleting the package from the primary sites distribution point.
Next from the child site where the package status is unlocked, I deleted from all the other distribution points.
The child site shows that the package distribution points have been deleted.
Unfortunately above and below the child site the package distribution points are still listed and locked.
(Looking at one of the listed distrubution points the package is on the server.)
Sorry for the big speech, does anyone know how to remove from the other distribution points and so be able to delete the package?
Any help or redirection would be great.

I don't have an answer, but I sure do have a question!!
I acquired the hacker in January. In February both of my computers were destroyed. I removed ALL forms of networking from my house -- TWC, all of my routers and adapters, etc.
I went to Best Buy and bought a new computer, then another, then 2 more -- all getting hit with a prefab image upon getting close to my doorway.
I am losing my home, etc, because I haven't been able to work in months. This hacker finds me at the library, and wherever else I try to work, and he messes withmy typing, stalls my screen, empties my USBs.
I believe I am the victim of remote deployment, but how do I find where/who it is coming from?
I used my (corrupt) Gateway recovery disks the other day and watched how ActiveX and other rd tools were listed.
PLEASE, this has been going on for too long. After i gave up on computers, my house has been entered nearly every day. The police literally think I am insane.
What can I do to get out of this deployment?
Might there be a network in my home that I am unaware of?? If so, is it likely in the cable, the tv, the fire alarm, what?
Warm regards,
Angel

Does anyone know how I can stop this happening.

Hello SaravSB, welcome to teh HP Forums.
I see that you're having an issue where the Windows help and support is popping up. I will try to help you with this.
I've looked into this for you, it seems this was an issue from back when Windows 7 launched. Any "solutions" also seemed to vary user to user. You may want to try contacting Microsoft for support on this. I was able to find a couple of posts off the answers.microsoft.com forums.

Hello
I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
Go to Task Manager>
Click the Services Tab>
Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
Select Properties>
Click the Security tab>
Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
Click Change Permissions>
Then click Edit>
CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
Thank you"

To fix the problem of the help pane appearing everytime you start windows do the following:
1. Run 'msconfig'
2. Go to the 'Startup' tab
3. One of your 'Startup items' is causing the pane to appear and you are going to have to find out which one it is! Untick ALL the items and reboot. The help pane will not appear harrah! Rather than adding the Startup Items back in one at a time and rebooting a hundred times, tick half the programs back in and reboot. You can find the culprit in about 5 reboots if you do it logically and add/remove half/quarter etc at a time.
4. Finally you will be left with all your Startup items ticked and the guilty program unticked (and that annoying help pane will no longer be appearing)
5. Now delete the guilty Startup Item from the registry (which will also remove it from the msconfig startup tab.
6. Open 'regedit'
7. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg and delete the guilty program folder. BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!
8. You're welcome."
Both of those, as well as other steps are located in this thread: Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.
You could try those suggestions and even give that thread a read over, other wise the best option would be contacting Microsoft as stated above.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

I have recently installed the new OSX Lion on my 2009 MacBook. Now I cannot get access to my Windows-Partition, which is on the harddisk. I cannot choose to boot from LION OSX or Windows. Who can help?

I have recently upgraded my MacBook to OSX Lion. Now I cannot get access to my windows-partition. I cannot choose booting from OSX Lion or Windows. Who can help???

I believe that Lion and Mountian Lion use BootCamp 4.0 and earlier versions used 3.0. I don't use BootCamp but from reading The link below you need to get new drivers, burn a cd and install. Check out #20 on this page.

How can I get rid of windows 8.1 in my new lenovo and get windows 7 put in?

How can I get rid of Windows 8.1 on my new Lenovo laptop and install Windows 7?

Hi,
I'll assume your laptop was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1
1. Start by copying all your personal folders (Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Favourites, local databases,
hosts files, etc) into an external disk, DVD, tape, whatever.
2. If I were you, I wouldn't use Windows 8.1 backup tool, I'm not sure Windows 7 Restore applet will be able
to read a Windows 8.1 backup.
3. Check that you have all the necessary licenses, CDs and executables to reinstall your former Windows 7
applications, components, browsers, plugins, Java, .NET Frameworks, etc. Be aware that some applications require
to keep same hostname and/or same IP and/or or same local username (or all of them) as they were on the original
Windows 7 machine.
4. Check that you have your Windows 7 CD and license handy.
5. Do you have a Windows 7 image backup of your laptop (prior to the Windows 8 upgrade)?
5.a Yes? Then restore that image and restore your personal folders on top. You might need to
install or reinstall some of the applications I mentioned on #3
5.b No? You'll have to format your laptop, install Windows 7 from scratch, create your local
user with administrative rights, install SP1, install necessary updates, reinstall all your
applications and finally restore your personal folders.

How can I get rid of the slide on add window that's making me crazy?

I updated to the latest version of Firefox for desktops today and all of a sudden I'm getting this slide in ad window that slides in from the left and I can't get rid of it! If this keeps up I'll have to stop using Firefox because I really hate this! PLEASE tell me how to get rid of it!

hey maxthepug, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].
