How do I get my HD back to one partition?

I'm done using Windows and Linux, I don't need them for work anymore and I want to erase both and merge the partitions back into Macintosh HD. I was able to remove a few of the Linux partitions, but neither Bootcamp setup or Disk Utility are letting me remove BOOTCAMP, swap1, or swap2. How do I get them to merge back into one, without reinstalling OSX?

Boot Camp Assistant does not support more than GPT, HFS+, EFI, and Windows partition. When you muck around with adding partitions, strange things do happen.
Two things:
Clone your HFS+ partition with Disk Utility Restore or any clone program.
Boot from another hard drive or media and delete the partitions.
You don't erase partitions, you delete or "-" and use Disk Utility to resize and repair the drive.
The easy way is to use SuperDuper, then erase and restore.
No reinstall.

  • I bought an audio book on iTunes and it charged me for two of the same book and downloaded two.  How do I get my money back for one of them?

    I purchased an audio book on iTunes store and was charged for two and downloaded two of the same book.  How do I get my money back for the second one?

    Try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so you may want to take a backup copy of it

  • How do i get my contacts back? they have just dissapeared?!

    how do i get my contacts back, i  just looked at my phone, didnt touch anything and they had just dussapeared! i didnt have a single one left and i dont have a clue how to get them back?!

    Hi sfuentes,
    You need to check iCloud to see if they are actually there. Go to iCloud.com and sign in and then look at your Contacts there to see if the old ones are still showing on iCloud.
    If they are not, then you can either re-enter them while you are on iCloud.com, or you can restore your device from the backup where you saved them:

  • I have just sought  to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

    I have just sought  to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

    Hi there
    I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these.  Instead it just took me to the
    adobe page with nowhere visible to update.  I then  sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
    functionality  It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe. 
    I have since remedied the problem as  my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that.  I do feel that this is a bit
    of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
    Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.
    Carlo

  • Olp PC crashed, new PC now how do I get my music back?

    Have new PC now. Saved all folders from old PC HDD. Will install iTunes 7.6 on new PC but how should I get my music back from the old PC's HDD? My iPod contains music purchased from iTunes, plus music from alot of CD's I own. WOuld like to recover music from my old HDD rather than synching from iPod (which I don't know how to do anyway!)

    Yes, just delete the duplicates but make sure to keep at least one copy!
    Actually it might be easiest to start over - totally clear your library, and make sure this copy setting is turned off
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61658
    then clear out your new PC's music folder.
    Then add everything back from your old hard drive.
    You only have to authorize one song for the whole PC to get authorized:

  • Had to restore, now how do i get my stuff back on my phone?

    I hate sounding stupid, but apparently I am. I had to restore my iPhone 3GS to original settings. It said it was going to restore all my contacts, but it did not, it is like a brand new phone. On my iTunes, it shows all my apps, and I'm hoping it still has all my contacts, but how do I get all that back on my phone?
    I knew I was depending way to much on my iPhone, I feel totally lost! Can I get back everything that was on my calendar, etc?

    As mentioned, you should have your contacts backed up on your computer or with a program, such as Address Book for Mac OS X, because they are not backed up with iTunes, even you did backup and restore. It only saves settings, app settings and saved games and that's pretty much it. If you only have the contacts on the iPhone, then you pretty much lost them.

  • TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

  • If someone has wiped my ipad and changed passwords on icloud how do i get my data back

    if someone has wiped my ipad and changed passwords on icloud how do i get my data back? please could someone help me out thanks

    How did they wipe it?  By using Find My iPad and performing a wipe?  If so, that means they have your icloud ID and password, not a good thing.
    You could try connecting it to iTunes and performing a restore from iCloud.  But if they changed password, then you are out of the loop.  How did they get your password in order to change it?

  • I've got a new IMAC, but i don't have all my music or movie purchase on it.  I just recently updated iTunes.  How do I get my purchases back?

    Ive got a new iMac and now that i updated iTunes I do not have all my music and movie purchases.  How can I get it all back?.  I used to have it before update

    It doesn't magically transfer itself, you have to do it.  Purchase may present themselves for re-downloading but things such as CD are only on the old machine or on the CD.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder. If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available.
