How do I remove an unwanted disk/volume?

I recently purchased a nearly new mini, but the previous owner had created an extended journaled volume that I cannot remove. I've erased it and written over with zeroes, but it's still there, using about half of my HD space. It's probably a ridiculously simple fix, but I'm not finding it...can anyone help? Thanks!

If you have already erased the other partition/volume, then you should be able to click on the disk and choose "Partition" in Disk Utility.
Then click on the volume once to highlight it and then hit the minus sign at the bottom.
This will ask you if you want to remove the volume.
Once that is done you should now have one volume instead of two on the HD....
It should not erase the first volume doing this. Only the erased volume that you select.
You must have Leopard to do this which your profile says you have.

  • How do I remove an unwanted Airport Express from my network?

    I have been using a Time Capsule for several years.  I am having trouble backing up to my Time Capsule.  I have discovered an unknown Airport Express in my network.  I've changed networks, added passwords to the network, etc.  How do I remove this unwanted Airport Express from my network?  I think he is wreaking havoc with my system!!  Help...

    Maybe this is an issue I should consult my ISP about??
    No question about that. If you can "see" Travis's device, then he can likely "see" your Time Capsule.
    I'm just concerned that whomever the APExpress belongs to could be changing settings on my computer or Time Capsule that would cause the issues with me not being able to backup.
    Make sure that you have a Time Capsule base station password. Unless a user has that password, they might be able to "see" your Time Capsule, but they cannot access any of the data on the Time Capsule or change the settings.
    Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
    Then, click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to see the device name and password for your device. Make sure that you have entered the password and confirmed. Click Update if you have made any changes.
    The message I get is "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.  The problem may be temporary.  Try again later to back up.  If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
    I am not sure what this error means, because I cannot duplicate it here to test.
    If it were me, I would try this "fix".

  • How do I remove an unwanted toolbar?  I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it.  It involves using Bing for everything as well.  It's very annoying and I want to remove it.

    How do I remove an unwanted toolbar?  I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it.  It involves using Bing for everything as well.  It's very annoying and I want to remove it.  I can't just type in a URL and have it go to the site.  It takes me to all of Bing's choices.  Also, when it anticipates what I'm typing (incorrectly) and I have to delete it's guesses all the time.  Can anyone help?

    Have you looked at Safari's menu bar > view> toolbars to see if it can be unchecked from there,also see if there is a button to collapse the toolbar on the bar itself.

    Somehow when I do a search from toolbar it redirects to bing. I have been unable to restore it so that it goes to google. How do I remove this unwanted search engine?

    Hi kjkirtley,
    Your question is not quite clear about where you are doing the searches from, but I will presume you are trying to do searches from Safari (Apple’s web browser) and it is using Bing as the default search engine. You can set the default search engine to Google by going to the Safari menu > Preferences > General > Default Search Engine:

  • How do I remove the Hard disk from computer? I have an old iMac, model M5521 circa 2000.  I need to wipe the disk clean to DOD specs before donating it.

    I have an iMac Model M5521, circa 2000, which I must wipe the hard drive clean to DOD specs before donating it.
    I have the DOD software on another non-apple computer.  I need to remove the hard disk drive from the iMac to do this.
    How do I get to the hard drive?  I find only two screws on the back of the monitor/case and they do not help.  What am I missing?
    Thanks

    It's not too hard but you have to take off the bottom cover of the case. These instructions shoudl show what yo uneed to do.

    I pulled the original 10G hard drive from our M5521 and replaced it with a larger one. The whole thing took under 45 minutes, including the 15 minutes it took me to recover a screw that fell into the works.

  • How to delete/remove specific, unwanted autofill entries

    I mistyped an entry (e.g., my name) in a specific field on a form I use often. Now, each time I begin to type my name in this field, it offers the previously mistyped entry as an option.
    Question: How do I delete the unwanted mistyped entry as an option?
    For example, in Firefox this is possible by highlighting the typo and then selecting Shift-Command-Delete. The mistyped entry is forgotten.

    HI,
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences and select the Autofill tab.
    Click the Edit button next to Other forms, select the the data you want to remove and click Done.
    Relaunch Safari.

    From the created on (time) in EM--> security --> resources --> , I can find the images_200908131131/ is the first image for APEX.
    And now I configured anonymous OK. APEX works.
    I think it still uses the images_200908131131/.
    And I think I have created a unwanted images/.
    How can I remove it?
    And is there a way to prevent link to http://localhost/. Generally, we access http://localhost/apex/f?p:APP_ID:..
    If I don't want user to link http://localhost/ to find the file catalog listed above, What can I do?
    Thanks advance.

    Hi,
    I don't use thumbnails but I went ahead and turned them on.
    Perhaps due to the position of the slideshow only a few thumbnails appeared.
    I wasn't able to delete the image I wanted removed.
    I tried to remove the image from my assets, and that deleted the whole slide show.
    ( didn't save the changes )
    thanks,

  • How do I remove an unwanted update from the App Store?

    Ok,
    So I open the App Store and there's a update awaiting me. Some App called CodeBox by one Vadim Shpakovski version 1.6 Released 7 April 2012
    So I check it over, check the app out and what it's all about. The App costs £6.99 and it's designed for developers. Simply I don't want the **** thing and I never applied or activated the app for purchase.
    I've looked everywhere and there's no delete update or remove update.
    Can anyone enlighten me as to how to remove the unwanted update?
    Thanks All.
    <Edited by Host>

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • How do you remove an unwanted Steam icon from Launchpad?

    I found an answer to this question online after some extensive searching. The answer isn't on the Support Forums, so I thought I'd post a link to the page (to credit the author) and copy / paste the wording below. 
    You don't have to download any dirty third party apps to do this...thanks to Joe!
    FORCE REMOVING ICOMS FROM LAUNCHPAD
    http://joegardiner.co.uk/removing-icons-from-launchpad/
    The standard method for removing app icons from the Lion Launchpad is to hold the left mouse button [or old the Option / Alt key] over the app icon, wait for the cross to appear in the corner of the app icon, and then click it!
    In some cases however app icons can become orphaned, for example if you use on Steam on Mac, deleting local content to uninstall a game will not remove the game icon from Launchpad. This leaves you with an unusable orphaned icon that seems invincible and does not appear in the Application folder along with the rest of your apps.
    The solution is as follows…
    1. Open Launchpad, find the offending icon(s) and drag them to your normal dock.
    2. Right click on the icon that you dragged to your dock and choose ‘Show in Finder’.
    3. Now drag the icon(s) from the Finder windows that opens up into the Trash.
    4. Finally right click on the dock item(s) that you dragged originally and choose ‘Remove from dock’.
    Voila, the icons have disappeared from Launchpad and the annoying orphaned icons that seemed invincible have been thwarted.

    No question about that. If you can "see" Travis's device, then he can likely "see" your Time Capsule.
    I'm just concerned that whomever the APExpress belongs to could be changing settings on my computer or Time Capsule that would cause the issues with me not being able to backup.
    Make sure that you have a Time Capsule base station password. Unless a user has that password, they might be able to "see" your Time Capsule, but they cannot access any of the data on the Time Capsule or change the settings.
    Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
    Then, click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to see the device name and password for your device. Make sure that you have entered the password and confirmed. Click Update if you have made any changes.
    The message I get is "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.  The problem may be temporary.  Try again later to back up.  If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."

  • IN pages how does one remove an unwanted template?

    Hello world!  First time here!
    Question #1  How does one delete unwanted templates in the "My Template" section of Pages?
    Question #2  How does one, using Lion, retrieve Appleworks 6 database files?
    Thanks

    Brilliant thank you, only on mine it is called alt as I have only just discovered, and lo, as you say, Save As actually appears!
    Apple isn't so obstinate after all - but why do they make it so difficult to find their simple solution? I even bought a book about switching (O'Reilly's) and nothing is mentioned about any of this.
    I am very grateful to you all, now I have two options!

  • How do I remove the on-screen volume and brightness displays?

    The on screen displays for volume and brightness controls on my ProBook 455 really lag behind pressing the buttons and aren't terribly helpful anyway. Can I remove them? I've seen people ask in the past and they are told about something called an "HP On Screen Display" or a "MediaSmart Menu." But my notebook doesn't have either. Does someone know another name for the thing I need to remove in order to get rid of this useless display?
    Thanks.
