Changing Volume Size

I partitioned a disk a while back into two volumes. Now I'd like to change the volume size and it will be sort of a pain (though not completely impossible) to erase (temporarily move) the stuff on the disk. Is there a snappy utility where I can do this? I'm just reading help in the Disk Utility and it talks about combining two volumes if i don't mind erasing the stuff on the second volume, but I can't even seem to invoke that option ('partition' seems not to be a choice as help suggests).
Anyway, the second volume has a great deal of empty space and i'd love to balance it more OR just get rid of the second partition and I am hoping not to have to shuffle 100's of Gig of stuff here and there.
Please advise.
Thanks!

you have to select the whole drive (model, not name) to get the partition tab.

Change Volume size after partition

I just formatted a drive and partitioned it. I haven't add any data on both of them and I changed my mind about the size of them.
Is it ok to change their sizes in disk utility? or would be better to format them again and repartition?
thanks in adavance

You can repartition the drive. Since there's nothing on the drive repartitioning won't cause any loss of data.

How to change volume size on apple server.

I have 5 different "HD" icons (they're partitioned aren't they?) on the server of which one is obviously the Home HD. I'd like to delete one "HD", increase the size of two existing "HDs" and decrease the size of the last "HD".
I am accessing the Mac OSX Server 10.3.9 via ARD on my computer. There are 7 computers connected to this server.
Can anyone help?
The guy who set it up has left 12 months ago, so I've unwittingly become the server sdministrator, and only so far I've been able to back up data from those "HDs". Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You really need to go into much greater detail, and posting in the server forum may not be a bad idea either.
But to address your question - the available space on a server share is determined by the available space on the server. You can't do anything about it from a client that is simply connecting to a servcer share. A server may have a single HD with several shares, or it could have multiple HD;'s with different shares. The amount of space available is determined by the amount of space on the server's HD's. Of course, there are ways to limit the amount of data a user can store on a server, which would be reflected in the amount of available space, but like I said, you need to provide more details and post in the server forum for more detailed answers.

Volume size changing?

Hi,
I'm running TM on my Mail server. Oddly when TM is switched on i get an odd pattern with the drive it's backing up. Almost like it's a log file that fills up and then resets. If TM is turned off this doesn't happen. (see below, drive in question is the Blue graph)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/darrensen/Screenshot2010-09-20at092356.jp g
TM is also backing up the red graph.
The blue graph is the primary drive where the OS is installed. The red graph is on a partition which is where our Mail store is kept.
Can anyone explain why this change in volume size happens and how i stop it?
Thanks for your time.

Extend volume - Storage Pools - iSCSI - "Extend failed" // "Error extending volume: Size Not Supported"

Hi,
I've created a storage pools of 44x 1TB SAS, my storage pool name is "DAS" with 39.1TB (35.8 TB Free Space)
I have a virtual disk named "iSCSI_DFS", Simple, Thin, 20TB with 3.05 TB Allocated
I've created volumes on that disk, NTFS, Thin, Different size.
I create iSCSI VIRTUAL DISKS on those Volumes, same size (my volumes are full)
I want to "extend" my volumes size... I click on my volume, Extend Volume, enter a new size (current is 162GB so I enter 200 and select GB) and click OK
The Volume status turn to "Extend failed" with "Error extending volume: Size Not Supported"
Can you help? I need to change my volumes size...
Thx

I also could not get my partition to extend using the new Windows Server 2012 interface. Did you try to extend volume from the "computer management", "disk management" console? Get there from Administrator Tools - Computer Management. I
was able to extend my partition only from there. You need to first make sure you have available space on the disk. I had to delete an empty volume first before I was able to extend the partition. Hope this helps. Anthony :)
Thx !!
While in the Computer Management, I realised that my Disk was "Basic" and not "Dynamics", Extending using the Disk Management suggest to switch to Dynamics, and it's now working.
The error in the Server Manager should be "Unable to Extend : Your disk is Basic" or something like.
The Disk is a virtual disk on my Storage Pools.!!!

SAPdb volume sizes

Hi,
I have 7.3.0.53 SAPdb installed in a sandbox environment and have been playing around trying to do a few different things.
1)I'd like to change either or both the data and log volume sizes.
a. Id like to be able to shrink a log down from, say 10gig to 1 gig.
b.Also can I increase individual data file sizes (as well as decrease) versus adding more or is it stuck with its original configured values.
2)The TEST db Im playing with has 10 named volumes, 2 look like theyre being used. If those 2 fill up will it automatically create a 3rd, or do I need to do that before it fills up?
3) Weve got a development db that is at 66% currently using 5 of the 10 volumes. If I have to add volumes manually when is a good time to do so? 75%? 90%? I know itll probably depend on how fast its filling up, but is there a good rule of thumb to follow?
Thanks for your time.

Hi Krishna,
I have no idea about 7.3.0.53 SAPdb, but i use MaxDB and i explain the same using MaxDB,
1. MaxDB provides a Database Manager GUI utility using which you can perform this. After connectiong to the server chooos e the instance and in the menu
Instance -> Configuration -> Volumes Now choose the data or log volume and then in the menu Action -> Properties Now perfrom your modifications here.
2. Yes it is possible to make you database add new volumes automatically by using AUTO EXTEND functionality.
You can achieve this using
 auto_extend <mode> [<percentage>]
mode : On, Off, show
percentage: This is your threshold (90 is default)
For example auto_extend on [75]
when ever your volumes size crosses 75% a new volume will be added automatically.
3. Hope the point 2 will do the trick, and you need not worry about it.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks & Regards,
Kathirvel

How to change font size in iCal

How do I change the font size in iCal? When I go to print the monthly calendar, it is so small I can't read it. But for the life of me I can't find where to change the size!

earlnkids,
The text size selection should be available in the first page of the iCal print options:

Can't change paper size in Print module

When I click on Page Setting in the Print module I get a pull-down menu that has options for Printer, Presets, Layout, Pages per Sheet, Layout Direction, Border, and Two Sides but there is no option available for changing paper size. This was not a problem before I updated to 1.2. How do I get that option back? Thanks.

Have you downloaded and installed the latest Driver for the Epson R1800.
It has been said that it is best, even if you have a ppc to download the latest IntelMac Driver to install for that printer, for best results.

How do I change text size in auto-page tabs

Now I'm trying to make the page tabs fit across my page. I've got several pages and will probably have more. I don't want all of them on the bar as they'll be linked in my text. I would also like to make the text smaller and maybe reformat to another font or style.
I don't find anything on this but maybe I'm not searching the right terminology.

You're referring to the navbar. You can remove any page from the navbar by going to the Inspector/Page/Page pane while viewing the page and unchecking the box to include that page in the navbar:
To change the font size of the navbar text see this post by Cyclosaurus: How do you change the size and font of...: Apple Support Communities.
Wyodor also posted a way to change the font size: Darkroom Navigation Font Size: Apple Support Communities.
If you only have a couple of pages you can create your own text based navbar and complete control over the font, size, rollover color, etc. This demo page has an example: Text Based Navbar. Be sure to use Web Safe Fonts.

How Can I Change the Size of My Home Page So That It Fills the Screen?

I have a PowerBook G4. Up until a couple of weeks ago when I opened Safari the home page filled the screen. Something has happened and now it fills only a portion of the screen. I can move the page around, change the size slightly by using the green button next to the minimizing button, but nothing I do will enlarge it to fill the screen. I have gone to View and Preferences, but find nothing to resolve this. Please help!

You're welcome Maureen. Glad I could help.
Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

How do you change volume permissions with Solaris Volume Manager?

(Previously posted in "Talk to the Sysop" - no replies)
I'm trying to set up Solaris 9 to run Oracle on raw partitions. I have my design nailed down and I have built all the raw partitions I need as soft partitions on top of RAID 1 volumes. All this is built using Solaris Volume Manager (SVM).
However, all the partitions are still owned by root. Before I can create my Oracle database, I need to change the owner of the Oracle partitions to oracle:oinstall. The only reference I found telling me how to do this was in a Sun Blueprint and it essentially said "You can't change volume permissions directly or permanently using SVM and chown will only remain effective until the next reboot. To make the changes permanent, you must modify /etc/minor_perm". Unfortunately, I can't find an example of how to do this anywhere and the online man pages are not particularly helpful (at least not to me).
I'd appreciate a quick pointer, either to a good online resource or, even better, a simple example. For background, the volumes Oracle needs to own are:
/dev/md/rdsk/d101-109
/dev/md/rdsk/d201-203
/dev/md/rdsk/d301-303
/dev/md/rdsk/d401-403
/dev/md/rdsk/d501-505
I provide this information because I'd like to assign some, but not all, of the devices under /dev/md/rdsk to the oracle user and I was hoping some smart person out there could illustrate an approach using simle regular expressions, at which I'm horribly poor.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian

Ron, I feel your pain. I just came from an HTC also and a lot of stuff with this iPhone is bugging the crap out of me. Who makes a phone where you can't adjust the ringer and alert volumes independently? Instead, I have to adjust the alert volume when it is active. C'mon guys. Get with the program. You won a bunch of Android users over with the 4S, but you're going to chase us all back when we're done with our contract. Frustrating.

What is happening when I change the size of the image in the program sequence window?

I noticed that I can change the image size of my exported file. I imported a 720 x 480 DV file into CS5.5. I went to my program sequence window and changed the settings to show the smallest image in that window. I then clicked on the image and used the handles that appear to make that small image large enough to nearly fill the screen. When I exported my final file and played the resulting WMV, the image on my screen was nearly twice as large as it would have been if I had not previously altered the image size in the program sequence window. I had to do this alteration for each clip in my timeline, or the unaltered ones would stay at the smaller size. The quality did not seem to be significantly impaired. I learned about this on a youtube video. The person who did the video claimed that this was a simple and quick way to upgrade standard video to HD. Of course this is not true. He was only changing the size of the resulting video. Does anyone know what is really happing when you do this procedure and why it changes the size of the exported video?

The size (resolution) of the exported video is not affected by anything you do while editing. It is dependant solely on the resolution set in the export settings.
Ideally you want to edit in an sequence that matches your media\, which will be the same size or larger than the required export. In other words, the same or smaller is OK. Making things bigger in post is not the best option. If you need things bigger, shoot them bigger.

Troubles by changing the size of a bookmark header text Repot generation Toolkit

Hello everyone
I'm having troubles getting the size of a header text formatted into a different font size, I attach the code I'm using to get the work done.
At the end I get all I want from the report generation toolkit but the text size in the header and footer . Does Anyone have a clue?
Well the image is too small I'm getting an error when I try to post a bigger one. The thing is that the VI's used here to change the size are append report text.vi and format text.vi. The first one is used to insert text through bookmarks in the header and footer (it works just gereat) and the second one is intended to change the size of the inserted text (it doesn't work at all) I've already used shift registers in the for loop but I get the same results. The last VI is dispose report.vi
thanks in advance

Maquina Etdos Verifica Reporte.vi ‏94 KB

Hello Julio9,
sorry for the waiting I had to clean the block diagram up and take into account some data security issues before I could post the information you asked me to. I have to tell you that I already came out with a patch for the issue nonetheless it is not the correct way to solve it and I would appretiate if you or anyone else could help me to do it right.
Here is what I changed:
In my code at the Initialize state (within the state machine) there is the New Report.vi I opened it to get also the new report SubVI.vi opened, afterwards I selected the NI_Word.lvclass: new report subvi.vi and opened it in its code yoou can easly see the double numeric constant value for the size of the text inserted as default. I just changed it from 12 to 8 to correct the formatting. As the outcome all the text inserted through the bookmarks have the default size (8 pts).
I attached the new version of my code with all the documents you will need. Please follow these steps:
1.-Open the project named Verifica Temperaturas 2010.lvproj
2.-Run the main vi named Maquina Etdos verifica reporte 2.vi
3.-Check the option Laboratorio de Refrigeradores:
4.-Click OK
5.-Complete the information as shown:
(For Selecciona Machote pick the word document named Document.doc attached in the .zip file. For the Selecciona Archivo de temperaturas pick the Estacion1_21-02-2012.txt file also attached in the .zip file)
6.-Press Siguiente
After completing the steps you'll see how the document in created. As expected the size of the text in the header is 8 pts.

Changing the size of a JComboBox

Greetings,
I am trying to build a mechanism to perform zooming on a JPanel with an arbitrary collection of components (including nested JPanels). I've tried a number of things with little success. The following is my most promising contraption. It can zoom labels, textfields, checkboxes, and buttons. However, for some reason, the combo box refuses to accept a changes to its size. I'm not sure why this is the case. Its font changes size appropriately.
Anyway, I'm running in JDK 1.4, and the following program lays out a palette of components. To change the size of the components, hit F1 to zoom in, and F2 to zoom out.
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.KeyEventPostProcessor;
import java.awt.KeyboardFocusManager;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JCheckBox;
import javax.swing.JComboBox;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
public class Demo extends JPanel
 public class Zoomer
 private double m_zoom = 1;
 private JPanel m_panel;
 public Zoomer(JPanel panel)
 m_panel = panel;
 private AffineTransform getTransform()
 return AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(m_zoom, m_zoom);
 private Font transform(Font font)
 return font.deriveFont(getTransform());
 private Dimension transform(Dimension dimension)
 Dimension retval = new Dimension();
 retval.setSize(dimension.getWidth() * m_zoom, dimension.getHeight() * m_zoom);
 return retval;
 private void performZoom(Container container)
 Component[] components = container.getComponents();
 for(int i = 0; i < components.length; i++)
 Component component = (Component)components;
component.setFont(transform(component.getFont()));
component.setSize(transform(component.getSize()));
for(int i = 0; i < components.length; i++)
Component component = components[i];
if(component instanceof Container)
performZoom((Container)component);
public double getZoom()
return m_zoom;
public void setZoom(double zoom)
if(zoom > 8.0 || zoom < 0.125) return;
m_zoom = zoom;
performZoom(m_panel);
public void zoom(double factor)
setZoom(getZoom() * factor);
public Demo()
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add(buildPanel());
panel.add(buildPanel());
final Zoomer zoomer = new Zoomer(panel);
add(panel);
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().addKeyEventPostProcessor(new KeyEventPostProcessor()
public boolean postProcessKeyEvent(KeyEvent e)
if(e.getID() != KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED) return false;
if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_F1)
zoomer.zoom(1.2);
if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_F2)
zoomer.zoom(1/1.2);
return false;
private JPanel buildPanel()
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add(new JLabel("label: "));
panel.add(new JTextField("Hello World"));
panel.add(new JCheckBox("checkbox"));
panel.add(new JComboBox(new String[] { "Bread", "Milk", "Butter" }));
panel.add(new JButton("Hit Me!"));
return panel;
* Create the GUI and show it. For thread safety, this method should be
* invoked from the event-dispatching thread.
private static void createAndShowGUI()
// Create and set up the window.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
// Create and set up the content pane.
Demo newContentPane = new Demo();
newContentPane.setOpaque(true); // content panes must be opaque
frame.setContentPane(newContentPane);
// Display the window.
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args)
// Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
// creating and showing this application's GUI.
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
createAndShowGUI();

component.setSize(transform(component.getSize()));First of all the above line is not needed. The LayoutManager will determine the bounds (size and location) of each component in the container based on the rules of the LayoutManager. The Flow Layout is the default layout manager for a panel and it simply uses the preferred size of the component as the size of the component.
So what happens is that when you change the font of the component you are changing the preferred size of the component.
So why doesn't the combo box work? Well I took a look at the preferred size calculation of the combo box (from the BasicComboBoxUI) and it actually caches the preferred size. The combo box uses a renderer, so the value is cached for performance one would assume. The method does recalculate the size when certain properties change. Note the isDisplaySizeDirty flag used in the code below:
 else if (propertyName.equals("prototypeDisplayValue")) {
 isMinimumSizeDirty = true;
 isDisplaySizeDirty = true;
 comboBox.revalidate();
 else if (propertyName.equals("renderer")) {
 isMinimumSizeDirty = true;
 isDisplaySizeDirty = true;
 comboBox.revalidate();
 }It also handles a Font property change as well:
 else if ( propertyName.equals( "font" ) ) {
 listBox.setFont( comboBox.getFont() );
 if ( editor != null ) {
 editor.setFont( comboBox.getFont() );
 isMinimumSizeDirty = true;
 comboBox.validate();
 }but notice that the isDisplaySizeDirty flag is missing. This would seem to be a bug (but I don't know why two flags are required).
Anyway, the following change to your code seems to work:
// component.setSize(transform(component.getSize()));
if (component instanceof JComponent)
 ((JComponent)component).updateUI();
}
