Deleted winXP partition through bootcamp but still hasn't reset hdd space?

Hiya,
I have a 297gb total capacity drive on my Mac Pro (bay 2)
I made a 32gb XP partition with boot camp assistant.
I deleted it with bootcamp assistant (restored to 1 OS X partition) and now its gone BUT in disc utility and finder it says the HDD only has 265gb free. How do I get my 32gb back?

I doubt many of us have had the problem you describe so knowing what to do about it is difficult. The problem is that the Boot Camp Assistant does dynamic repartitioning which few tools can do anything about.
Have you tried contacting AppleCare? Given Boot Camp is beta I doubt you'll get help for it though.
Persoanlly, if it's on another drive why don't you just manually do the repartition, which would erase the whole drive, and restore your data to it? That's what I'd do.

I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list. It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
Let's see what we can find. I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod. Is there anyway to restore it to my pc?

I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod. Is there anyway to restore it to my laptop from the ipod? I've seen others with a similar situation and the question was asked if it was still on the ipod but can't find a follow up to point me in the right direction.

Use the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes.

i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks roy

There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

Emails are l "stuck" in my Apple Mail Outbox. I have deleted the account and reinstalled but still have the problem. Apple's "Network Diagnostics" report that it cannot connect to the SMPT server. TalkTalk (Tiscali) say there is no problem with their server because I have checked and can send emails with their webmail.

No that is not it:
Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts, the first page has this on it
If you click on the server name in the box (gmail in your case I assume) it opens and reveals this:
If you select Edit SMTP Server list you get this:
Post it here and, select the Advanced Tab (which looks like this)

I deleted iphoto and reinstall it but still dose not work

please help,,,
iphoto suddenly is not lunching i tried to delete the app and re install it from the disc that came with my mac
but still not working ?? and i dont know what to do any more
apprecciate your help

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
But are you sure that's the problem? This is often a Library rather than an app issue. Can you opn a new blank Library?
As a Test: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Regards

Pre ordered on 10/7 received confirmation but still hasn't shippedI

I pre ordered my phone on 10/7 at 2:10am(central zone) and received my confirmation at 2:43am but it still hasn't shipped. Does anyone know if there is a way to find out if I'm getting my phone no later than 10/14 , after all thats why i woke up at 2:10 last Friday to pre-order.

Have you checked the status of the order by way of the confirmation email? I got a confirmation email but somehow my order was dumped out of the system....blah I can't get over it.
Anyways, I knew mine was eff'd up this morning when I clicked the 'check your order status' link, entered my order number, and got something to the effect of "we had a problem processing your order, please contact us".
If you don't have that, you're probably fine.
Funny story, I, also was getting that error when checking my order status. I was using my order number from the confirmation email, which was a 4 digit number and my last name. I was getting nervous, so I started trying different ways to look up the order status.
On the order status page it gives you three options to choose from when selecting which method you used to make the order
1-Verizonwireless.com
2-Verizon Store
3-Over the phone.
Naturally, I was selecting the first method and receiving the error message, so I tried the second method. It then changed from asking for only an order number and last name to asking for an Ace number, last name and order location number.
I used my order number for the "ace number" field and the order location number that was given to me in the confirmation email.
When I tried that, this is what was displayed :
Order Number:
xxxx
Tracking Number:
Courier :
Status:Your pre-order will deliver by 10/14/2011
Ship Date:
Also my CC was finally charged just a few hours ago. I'm confident my phone will arrive friday. Verizon has never let me down so far, but i'm going to keep my fingers crossed.
Hope this helps and we all receive our beautiful iPhones Friday or Thursday if we're lucky.

Have been trying to download films on my i pad but receive message saying insuficient storage space so upgraded and paíd for moré storage space but still get same message insuficient space, despite settings saying is have 23 gb available. Any answers

I have been trying to download films on my I Pad but receive a message saying insuficient storage space, update. I updated a d paíd for extra space but still receive same message and cannot download the films. Any suggestionx

The message is referring to not having enough space on your iPad, not to not having enough space in your iCloud account. Purchasing additional storage in your iCloud account does not give you more available space on your iPad.
You can check how much space you have available on your iPad by going to Settings>General>Usage. If you don't have enough, you'll have to delete or sync some data off your iPad to free up additional space.

How do i delete a backup? I deleted a large iPhoto library, but it didn't create any space as there is now a backup that is the same size.

I deleted a large iPhoto library from my hard drive to make space for an updated version. When I emptied the trash and checked on memory, there was an equivalent sized backup, so I still can't download the new library. How do i delete the backup from my hard drive?

You could be seeing the local Time Machine backup files.

I deleted photos from my iPhone but still see them in Image Capture app

I am running iOS 8 and I have a problem with my photo library. I deleted all the photos form my phone, and went into "recently deleted" and made sure I permanently deleted them, however when I plug my phone into my Mac and look in image capture, I still see over 400 photos in there. Does anybody know if there's any way to figure out where these photos reside on my iPhone? They aren't viewable through the photos app and seem to be taking up space but are not usable.
I currently have all iCloud photo related functions turned off.

Hello J-a-x,
It sounds like you are seeing photos in Image Capture that you have removed from the Photos app by deleting them from the Recently Deleted album. It seems to me that the Photos app is going to be the linchpin here so thats where I would troubleshoot. Start by closing all the apps that are running on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Then see if the photos are showing anywhere in the Photos app. If so delete them once more, in the same way you had before, also removing them from Recently Deleted and see if Image Capture is detecting them or not.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Delete app from iPod Touch, but still shows up in iTunes

I've deleted a couple of apps from my iPod Touch, but after a sync they are still showing up in the iTunes apps tab with my iPod plugged in. They are both unchecked, so that they will not sync, but I can't seem to delete the app itself from my computer. In the previous version of iTunes, you could manually delete an app from iTunes and it would be gone, not just unchecked.
Any advice?
Using latest version 9.

Try going into your iTunes/Mobile Application folder (wherever that is on Win XP) and deleting the .IPA for that particular app. Thats how I permanently delete my unwanted apps as simply deleting them in itunes or on the touch desnt get rid of them completely and iTunes always trys to put them back in there as it stayed stored in my application folder.

Since loading Itunes update my Itunes takes about 3 to 4 minutes to load and then when it loads it freezes for about 3 minutes and then unfreezes. This happens with every restart. I've have deleted and reload four times but still get the same results. t

Question: I've have upadated to the latest Itunes software but since doing so I've have had nothing but problems and yes
I have unloaded and reloaded at least 4 times. Now when I try to open Itunes using the short cut on the desk top it takes about 4 minutes or longer for the Itunes to start and then it freezes for about another 2 to 3 mintues and then starts. This happen everytime I try to open Itunes now. I even deleted Itunes from my hard drive and put it on my SSD to see if it would work and still nothing. I've always been pretty good at sloving my problems. But this one has me stumped. Is there anyone who as had this problem that would be willing to help me out. Router25. P.S. It only happen with this one application of software. Everything else loads up fast. This comput is about 1-1/2 years old. Most people would love to have this computer. 9 out of 10. Please help me someone. I ready have a grey beard and it getting grayer.

Restore from backup. If the issue continues, restore as new.

With iOS 8, how do I delete photos from my phone BUT still have them in my iCloud and view them from my phone?

Hello all!
Before iOS 8, we had two separate photo albums - Photo Stream (for iCloud) and Camera Roll (for photos on your iPhone).
When you took a photo, the photo went into both albums. This was handy, as when i found my memory running low, I could delete photos from my Camera Roll, yet they will still be on my Photo Stream.
However, with the iOS 8 update, apparently they thought this was too confusing for everyone and therefore have merged it all into the collections/moments photo viewer.
So, my question is, is there a way that I can delete photos from my phone without deleting them from my iCloud, seeing as they are merged into one?
Thanks!

The easiest way I find to remove a few songs for the nano is to go into Ipod preferences and select "only sync checked songs" and the uncheck songs you don't want. You could only sync certain playlists but that takes some work setting up. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt2.html
Or you could just use manual sync which is more of a pain to be able to control everything that goes on or off your ipod http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html
