Can't resize disk partitions after Yosemite install.

My disk has two partitions. I run Mavericks on the first, and recently installed Yosemite on the second. The OS works fine, but I no way to resize the partitions. I've tried booting into both Yosemite and Mavericks but the partition layout in disk utility appears locked with fixed partition sizes.
It now appears that I have two options.
Use the undocumented "resizeVolume" command in diskutil to resize the core storage volume in my Yosemite partition, or
Use the "revert" command in diskutil to revert from core storage to the default partition type and try my luck.
Is anyone else facing this issue of not being able to resize your disk partitions after the Yosemite install, and if so, how did you resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

None of these worked. I had to resolve this the hard way.
Make a complete TM backup of the new Yosemite installation.
Use a bootable install DVD or USB drive, re-partition the disk and do a complete reinstall.
Recover the applications and data from the TM backup.
It took me about an hour and a half once I decided on this approach, not counting the hours wasted trying to get it working.
To give them credit, the TM backup and restore worked flawlessly and all my apps and data were back without a hitch.
However, reading the other posts in the forum and elsewhere it does appear that Apple has not done a good job with the disk utility in supporting core storage volumes, which is fairly ridiculous since Yosemite defaults to that without giving you a choice.

Missing Disk Partition after Yosemite Install (invalid sector size)

Right off the install, my exFAT partition on my MBP is missing. Thought it was not mounted automatically so I went to Disk Utility to have a look.
It says "invalid sector size (0)" or something (I'll edit/update this post in a bit. I'm on Mac Recovery as I'm typing this) and it couldn't repair it.
Bootcamped into Windows and the same thing's happening (partition shows up but as an unformatted volume, proceeds to prompt to format partition)
I haven't thought to check to see if the OSX volume has expanded or not, so I'll do it after this.
Man I hope the files are still there. Is there a fix or way to manually edit the sector size?
Would reverting back to Mavericks be able to repair it?
Disk Details:
960GB Crucial M500 SSD
Partitioning Order:
NTFS (W7) 128GB | exFAT (stuff) 512GB | HFS (OSX) 256GB | freespace (not used) the rest
(Windows reports a more complicated partition map due to the Hybrid MBR partition map, but the main partition order is as above)
(As for why this order, it happens that I am unable to add an additional partition when I install OSX before Windows due to constraints of the MBR-type partitioning, but I am able to add one when Windows is installed before OSX as a workaround to save one partition count in the MBR)
Mac Details:
MBP 15" Mid-2012 Model A1286 4GB RAM
OSX 10.10 (Yosemite)
Windows 7 via Bootcamp

Hi putnik, thanks for the reply. I've tried the repair in Disk Utility from the recovery partition and it's unable to fix it as well.
The installer didn't have any prompts regarding File Vault (I never turned it on in the first place) beforehand.
It's my first time reading of Core Storage, so that may have bitten me on this end. The interesting property of the exFAT volume is Disk Utility recognises that as a Bootcamp volume (although no OS was installed in it and it doesn't appear in Bootcamp). (EDIT: it said that when I still had Mavericks but now it doesn't say anything even with the windows partition)
I'm still looking around for a fix or any way of reading it, and I'm holding off the last resort of reformatting it. Got a few days of work in it that I haven't backed up, although finding a fix could use the same amount of time as redoing it.
Here's the message by the way:
Verifying volume “disk0s3”Verifying file system.** /dev/rdisk0s3

Keeps crashing after Yosemite install - Need thoughts on what to do...

My 2013 Macbook Air keeps crashing after Yosemite install, time between crashes are more random than consistent and it can be anytginh from one hour to 6 hours between crashes. Enclosed the report below with the hope that someone has some tips on what to do here.... I've formatted the computer, reinstalled the OS and checked the drive for errors and I've found nothing so far.
Would be very grateful for any thoughts/tips on what to do here...

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Shut down from safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Bootcamp Wont Load After Yosemite Install

Loner T,
My bootcamp does not load after Yosemite install.
Thanks

This is the first part of the recovery procedure. In your case, you have two OS X versions, so standard layout is not usable.
Please install GPT Fdisk (aka gdisk) (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/) if you have not done so yet.
You need to use the following steps. If you see any error messages during the following steps, please stop and post back here with the error message. The following steps have values from your Testdisk output (and you can verify) in Steps 7 and 8.
Rebuild GPT5 using start/end offsets
Sudo gdisk /dev/rdisk0
P (print the full list of parts)
D (delete)
5 (part 5)
N (new part)
5   (part 5)
841717760 - Start offset in bytes (start point for Bootcamp part)
+135055353 (Size offset as opposed to End offset)
0700     (Windows part type)
P           (print list of all parts just to see what changes will be made)
W         (Write the new GPT)
Y           (Yes! really write the new GPT)
This will delete and re-write the GPT partition info for /dev/disk0s5.
Reboot. Test that you can see the Bootcamp volume in Finder and see files in the Bootcamp volume.

My MacBook Pro's internal SuperDrive has stopped recognizing CDs/DVDs after Yosemite install

After upgrading to Yosemite, my MacBook Pro's (early 2011) internal SuperDrive has stopped recognizing CDs/DVDs after Yosemite install. It takes them in and will eject them with the keyboard button, but they will not mount. Disk Utility shows the SuperDrive and shows the inserted media, but will not mount the disk. That button is grayed out. Please help! I still have training libraries and music I access on such media. Thx!

UPDATE: I discovered some forum posts about a similar issue with Mavericks that recommended re-installing the system to fix the problem. I realized that I rarely restart my computer unless there's an update that requires it, and decided before undertaking a full re-install of Yosemite to simply restart my computer again. THIS WORKED! The SuperDrive is now mounting CDs and DVDs. Not sure what the issue was, but if anyone else has this issue I hope this will save you hours of frustration.

My computer is running slow after Yosemite install -but in the Mail program, when I open an email and then open the attachment -all is good -when I close the attachment the Mail program goes away, and I have to reopen it in my Dock -every time.

I tried this, but no luck. I went to Previous System>Users. There is nothing inside the "Users" folder, so I hit a dead end.
I can find my new e-mails -- those that came in since I re-installed the system -- in my NEW system (which I did to see if I was correctly understanding the advice), by going to Users>Home>Library>Mail>POP account name>Inbox.
Let me add a new question: I am running PhotoShop C3. It opens OK, and I can use it, but when it opens I get this message: "One or more files for Adobe Application Support folder are missing. Please re-run the PhotoShop installer."
I don't like re-installing working programs if I can avoid it, because it always seems to lead to other issues. Any idea what files are missing, and where it/they might be in the Previous System folder?
thanks
Mike

Monitors flickering badly after Yosemite Install

Monitor flickering badly after Yosemite installed
I will be awaiting upDated drivers in a release soon.
I notice is very badly when I connect my iphone to ITunes screen
goes crazy flicker. . . . Anyone else having this issue ?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Messages stuck in updating after Yosemite install

Messages stuck in updating after Yosemite install. Tried re-install of Yosemite and quit messages, still unable to access.

Hi,
Go to the ~/Library/Attachments folder. (well it should be a folder).
If it is not a Folder then rename it and create a New folder with the same name.
restart Messages.
Or if you have a Time Machine backup replace the Non folder item with an Original from just before the update.

Yes, purchase Paragon Camp Tune for the job.

unable to bootup after Yosemite install. have to keep shutting down from rear button. it does come on after a few times but then hangs at user login again. If you get in it is great. Seems faster than Mavericks but there is some sort of issue, bootup /login.

Knock on wood, this seems to have been my problem as well. I stumbled on this thread after dealing with this ridiculously-long boot times for the past several weeks.
I just reinstalled McAfee Antivirus and my Macbook Air booted up in less than 1 minute. No more hanging on the boot-up progress bar. No more hanging after I click on my user's avatar on the log-in screen. Bootup would often take 5+ minutes and sometimes never complete.
This has been SUPREMELY frustrating.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING YOUR RESPONSE!!!

It goes for many software, like ShareKit.framework, SceneKit.framework, NotificationCenter.framework, Preview.app, Calendar.app, Reminders.app etc. - all of them are Apple software. I get it like every 1 minute in log.
Google didn't help. What is it, what does it means and how to fix?..

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ -exec ls -Odel {} \; | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "85." Please post it in a reply.

[SOLVED]Can pacman provide some sound after finishing installing

I usually let pacman download and install something in a screen and working on another screens. But I can't know immediately when the instalI finished if I don't return to the screen where pacman is installing something.
Can pacman provide some sound after finishing installing? Or are there any other methods are suitable for this? And I guess tools like wget or axel may need this.
Last edited by ArkChar (2012-12-05 06:30:35)

You probably can make a script that wraps pacman, and plays a sound (ffplay, ffmpeg, mplayer, aplay, whatever) and plays a sound when pacman returns. Better than nothing I guess.
Something like this:
pacmansound
#!/bin/bash
pacman $@
ffplay ~/Music/pacman_done.ogg
I'm not sure if this works, but you get the idea.

Can't resize Mac partition in Disk Utility

I'm having issues by being unable to resize my Macintosh Partition to establish more space to extend my Bootcamp partition. All the settings are greyed out with no toggles to change to capacity. Please help!

1. Do not use Disk Utility to resize Bootcamp partitions. From Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support
Can I resize the Windows partition after installing Windows?
No. Back up your important files, then use Boot Camp Assistant to delete the old partition and create a new one.
2. If you are on Yosemite, the GUI Disk Utility is broken for manipulating CoreStorage volumes. You can check if you have CS, by looking at the output of
diskutil cs list in Terminal. The only reliable method is to use diskutil cs verbs.
