Canceled partitioning process now that space is missing. Help?

I tried using bootcamp assistant to partition my computer but halfway through it froze so i had to turn my computer off completely. Apperently the partition never went through from disk utilities point of view but I'm still missing quite a bit of GB...
How do I go about recovering said gb?

If you are indeed using Snow Leopard as you state, boot from its Install DVD, run the Disk Utilities on the menu and inspect the drive by selecting it and clicking on the Partitions tab. See if you can extend the Macintosh HD to cover the unused space. When done, do a Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions just for good measure.
If you're really using the Lions, start up in Recovery Mode (Command-R prior to the chime) and do as above. Disk Repair is the bottom option on the main Recovery screen. Holler if it don't work.

Hey Hisheroisgonex,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If the track is no longer in your iTunes Library, you can re-download using the information in this article:

I deleted a partition on my macbook pro and now that space is not visible in Disk Utility

I had a dual boot setup on my 1TB drive on my macbook with a linux partition. I decided to delete the linux partition and free up some space for my OSX partition. I went into recovery mode and first erased the linux swap partition then the linux partition. Then I went into the partition tab on Disk Utility and clicked on the "-" button for each swap partition and linux partition. Now when I go into Disk Utility now though the 500 GB that should have been freed up is not visible and I cant resize the OSX partition to include the extra space.

Let it finish, then you can safely delete it.

I have a 750GB HDD. Speaking visually (looking at Disk Utility) I had a 250GB Mac Journaled partition on the top, and a 500GB Mac Journaled partition on the bottom. The 250GB partition is now free space, now how do I expand the 500GB partition upwards?

The 250GB partition has been deleted and is now free space.
Now how do I expand the 500GB partition "upwards" when the GUI only gives me a resizing handle on the bottom right corner in Disk Utility?
I am comfortable with Terminal if there is a non-destructive CLI way to do this, since the Disk Utility GUI seems to have failed here...

OK.
You will need to check out a third-party utility. The diskutil CLI utility cannot non-destructively change the start of a partition map, only the end (which is why you only get the draggable handle in the GUI at the bottom of each partition...same idea).
To be honest, I'm not even sure how well third-party tools will do at this either. Changing the start of a partition is non-trivial, be cause of the partition map files, b-trees and so on which have to be moved. iPartition is well regarded, but also not free.
And regardless of what tool you use, you will want a backup of your data (assuming that it's data you want to keep, or you wouldn't care about non-destructive repartitioning). Which might mean that just getting a new HDD , copying the data and then repartitioning the current one and having an extra HDD because of it may be the simplest and safest solution anyway...

My apps are not opening now that I downloaded ios5. help!

How do I get my downloaded apps to open now that I have downloaded the new ios5 on my iphone4?

Try to update your apps-most apps need to be updated to work with iOS 5.
We had the same issue and it resolved with updating all apps.

Restored ipod, now new pictures are missing. help!?

I restored my new ipod from a previous back up, and I was not aware that it would erase everything (mainly pictures) from the device. Is there any way possible to retrieve the pictures? Or are they gone forever.

- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Also, if you use PhotoStream and set up the iPod with the same iCloud Apple ID and turn PhotosStream on, the PhotoStream album on the iPod should repopulate with the last 30 days worth of photos. It can take hours to do so.

I created a partition accidentally cancelled it but now I am missing the space on my harddrive?

I was in the process of creating a 1gb partition on my harddrive. I accidentally cancelled it and now im missing that 1gb from my total space. I had Originally 499.25gb now its 498gb. How do i correct this issue?
Thanks!

Here's an additional thought:
First, repair your hard drive with Disk Utility.
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 and click on the Continue button. 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. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Second, shut down the computer and wait at least one minute. Then turn the computer back on. After it has completely restarted, check your hard drive information: Select the disk's Desktop icon. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. See what is displayed for Capacity, Used, and Available space. This is really the best information about the drive's space.

I ran out of power while partitioning, now 300GB of space is "missing"

Okay, so I was attempting to increase my windows partition by creating an image, reformatting, then moving the image back into the partition.
However, whilst trying to remove and recreate the partition, my battery died, and it stopped with the progress bar of creating my new 300GB partition somewhere in the middle.
Now, I've rebooted, and 300GB of space is missing from my hard drive, could someone please help me get this back?
Thanks muchly!

Hi,
normally the best way to remove a BootCamp Windows partition is to use the BootCamp Assistant again which should give you the option to remove the made Windows partition and revert back to one OSX volume.
After that's done a reboot of your Mac might be advisable. After the reboot you can use the BootCamp Assistant again to make a new Windows partition and then install Windows again.
Only if that's not working (whatever the reason) :
1) boot your Mac from your OSX install DVD
2) choose your language and then 'ignore' (cancel) the installation
3) from the Top Menu (Utilities) start Disk Utility (DU)
4) in DU click on your harddisk (not any partition) in the left pane (the first item listed)
5) in the right pane use the 'Partition'-Tab
6) click to highlight on the ex-Windows partition you want to delete
7) click on the small '-' Button at the bottom
That should delete your former Windows partition
After that's done successfully
8) Drag the partition separator line until it encompasses the entire drive and then select apply.
9) Quit Disk Utility
10) reboot your Mac from your harddisk.
Most likely you only have one partition showing, your OSX one, since the partitioning itself went wrong.
So some steps can therefor be skipped.
Since you are 'fumbling' with your OSX partition you should consider having/making a backup of it before trying the a.m. procedure. Just in case.

I've updated my phone and I've made a backup. but now it says I must enter my code to restore all my files and I haven't got this code. If I cancel the process or choose something else, all my stuff will be deleted, and I really don't want that.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

If, for some reason, your backup got encrypted and you don't know the code, you'll have to set up your phone as new device and start all over again without the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.
If you can't get pass the lock screen, connect in recovery mode and restore the phone, you'll have the option to reset the lock secreen passcode.
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

About a month ago I couldn't access 100s of pix from my iPhoto library. I then went through the process of "re-finding" all missing pix. I 2x checked that they opened. Now, I'm having the same original problem! What's iPhoto doin with my pix?

Try rebuilding the library.
Hold down the Option and Command keys then launch iPhoto.
Select: Repar the iPhoto Library Database
Click Rebuild.

Disk Utility lost disk space after cancelling partition resizing

Hi,
I accidentally cancelled the process of creating new partition (by shrinking old).
Now I have 50 GB of disk space lost.
How can I fix it?
Thanks.

Yeah, I found the solution of the space problem caused by same reason here:
Disk Utility quit. Missing HD space!
Nothing happened. So probably will have to reinstall it.

HELP! Imported ALL Pictures and Now LR points to missing files that are in LR!

HI! This is my first post and I think I've made a big boo boo. In order to better organize my photos, I consolidated my pictures by year in My Pictures. Each subfolder is marked yyyymmdd. In the process of doing this I have now imported all my photos to LR. Usually, I just import the ones that I want to edit. Now, LR points to missing or offline files. When I try to find them, I get the message this folder already exists in LR.
How can I redirect these files to their new location AND keep the LR adjustments. I definately don't want to loose the adjustments I've made. If we were only talking about a few pictures, I could copy down the adjustments in the history and reapply them one by one. I've even tried copy and paste the adjustments to the file in the new location. I've tried syching folders and that just deletes the missing photo and does NOT apply the lightroom adjustments to the original photos in the new folder form the mass import.
I'm sure there has to be a way! PLEASE HELP SAVE MY SANITY!!
THanks in advance!
Christie

You may have to do this image by image, depending on how you moved them- in Explorer or Finder? And, I presume, after they were imported?
As you can see, moving files, once imported into LR, should be done by LR......

i had purchased iphone 6 from the online store and i had peid the full amount by using my cc , i had noticed now that the order get cancelled as its out of quantity , could you please assist me to refund my money back to my cc !!

I am going through the same process! It is a nightmare doing anything with adobe. They make it as difficult as possible to get a refund and keep asking me if i want anothe program instead of a refund. They are making me jump through all kinds of hoops to get the refund and refuse to call me. They have ZERO customer service and the only reason they stay in business is because they have no real competitors. It's a shame, but I suggest you reprot them to the Better Business Bureau. I did.

Lost all my HDD space after cancelling partition!

Short Story...Ive lost all my HDD space after cancelling partition, i had 1TB now i only have 13gb
Long story...I installed parraeles desktop 8, went to install windows 7, it said i only had 60gb free, went to disk utility to try and partition to 150gb but only allowed me to partition 50:50 for unknown reason, i began the partition and then cancelled it as i wanted to try and only allow 150gb for windows 7, now it does not show partition at all, and says i only have 13gb free!!!
PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!
Running OXs 10.8.2

Do you have a Time Machine backup of your system, if not make one. Then go back into disk utility and delete the partition you just made. To install Windows 7 via Parallels Desktop 8 you don't need to partition your hard drive the program takes care of the entire install.
