How can I re-size a partition that shares a drive with the system 'disk'?

Some time ago, I partitioned my Bay 1 drive (640GB) to two partitions, of equal size.  Now, I find that on the system 'disk' partition, there is a lot of space I don't really need, and could use in the other partition.  I find that I can shrink the system partition, but can't expand the second partition to use the extra space.  Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

I would keep that for just the system and not use 2nd partition for "active" data - move the other partition (or the system) to another drive.
An SSD system for instance. $165 Corsair Force GT 120GB
Then devote 640GB to what you want. Or as a system backup etc and pick up a 1TB WD Black ($139)  which really are a nice performance drive now from what they had even 2 yrs ago.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you aware it only syncs iMessages. Also once enabled only new messages will sync, try messaging the user from the Mac and see if that gets things going for you.

    How can i copy an iPhoto album to a flashdrive along with photo information, in order to send it to a friend please?

    File -> Export. In the resulting dialogue you can choose to export the Original. Or, if you choose to export a Jpeg you can get the edited version. Check the boxes at 'Keywords and Descriptions' and 'Places Information' and you'll get the metadata, if that's what you mean by "photo information"

    How can I reinstall my Deskjet F4180 if I do not have the install disk

    Jerry, welcome to the forum. Since you didn't mention which OS you are using, I provided the Software and drivers page for Win 8.1.  It provides the HP Deskjet F2100/F4100 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver.  This will install the printer.  If the OS is not correct, you can provide the correct one. Please click the "Thumbs up + button" if I have helped you and click "Accept as Solution" if your problem is solved.

  • How do I place my files on a separate hard drive from the system drive with OS X?

    I have a mac pro and want to place my files on a seperate hard drive to the system. Can anybody please ad vise me what I have to do to achieve this. My OS X is Lion 10.7.5

    Drag and drop will normally work if the separate hard drive is formatted right:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3003
    Mind you, an external hard drive is the ideal way of backing up data.   Software such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Time Machine can be used for backing up, and is much faster than using the Finder for drag and drop, and will ensure the entire system gets backed up.  
    Time Machine offers whole unbootable system backup with archiving.  Each archive has a temporary existence as long as the backups are automatic.  When you make them manual, you can copy them off to a non-time machine source to ensure they exist longer.  The larger your destination drive, the longer the archives last.
    Carbon Copy Cloner is used most often for clones, and it maintains an exact replica of the original, deleting anything the original had deleted on the copy that it makes, and its backups are bootable when they are successful.  It offers archiving options, but they aren't as transparent as Time Machine.
    Firewire 800 is faster than USB 2.   PCI eSATA and Thunderbolt cards are faster.  The ability to boot the PCI based cards varies by card.  But the SATA drives can be inserted internally if you want them to be boot.  Some SATA drives need a jumper to be able to be read by your 1.1's slower internal SATA bus speed.  Check with the hard drive vendor.  USB 3 cards exist as well, though I've heard USB 3 has difficulty with WiFi interferance.

  • How can I purchase an iPhone app that is not available in the AppStore I'm registered in but is available in another country's AppStore?

    Hello, guys. My problem is that I want to purchase an iPhone app that is not available in my AppStore(s). I am registered in the Japanese and Russian AppStores, and the app I want is available only in the American AppStore. Do I have to change my AppStore for this? And how can I do it? Or do I have to create a new Apple ID for the American AppStore? I tried to do the latter, but it requires a billing address located in the US, which I don't have. What are my options?
    Thank you in advance.

    No worries. The forums can be a bit confusing to navigate at first.
    You might want to contact the developer of the app in which your interested and suggest they offer it in your country. There may be reasons they can't but if they can and they know there's interest, they just might.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I open a web page that is not compatible with safari?

    Hi all
    I get the following message when I try to go to a certain web site:
    http://www.sia.homeoffice.gov.uk/Pages/licensing-rolh.aspx click on the "GO TO THE REGISTER" button
    Please note: clicking the button above will transfer you to our secure server, which will open in a new window. You must be using Internet Explorer 6, 7 or 8, or Netscape 7.02 for the new site to display properly. You can return to this site by closing the new window.
    I have looked at Internet Explorer and Netscape and both seem to be out of date with our IOS.
    How can I access this page?

    Try downloading another browser, Firefox for example. Open the link in Firefox and once the page opens copy the link and paste it in safari address bar. That works for me.
    Still trying to find out why we have to do this though since it works just fine in Safari once you had it opened in another browser.
    Hope that helps you!
