How do I uninstall Operating System from SSD

I have just purchased the hightest spec 27 inch Imac with a combi Hard Drive, 2TB Serial ATA + 256GB SSD.
The Operating System has been installed onto the SSD, actually I want it installed on the 2TB Serial ATA Drive,
how do I uninstall & reinstall the Operating System. Basically, this computer will only be used for Photoshop CS5/6
so I want to use the SSD as a scratch drive!

This I agree to. For something like an Macbook Air, they can make sense for near instant on and fault tolerance. But for an Imac, if you have enough real RAM, it becomes a latency thing on app start up and not a speed thing....and the latency between clicking an app and it starting is already small. Where you may notice the latency is waking from sleep on an iMac, probably little else.

How do I move my operating system from one internal hard drive to another on the same Mac?

My question is pretty straightforward: How do I—or can I—move my operating system from one internal hard drive to another on the same Mac Pro desktop?

I'll let baltwo come in with a definitive answer, but the last time I just made a clone, CCC used Disk Utility to create a recovery partition on an external drive's partition. You get these windows successively (and it did create it with a message that it was successful):

How do I download after changing my operating system from a 32 bit to a 64 bit system?

Is it possible to run an operating system from an external hard drive?

Really weird question here, but I've always wanted to know this. I have a MBP 13" mid-2012 and I installed a 256GB SSD. I currently have OSX 10.9 and Windows 8.1 installed on the drive, but is it possible to actually run an operating system from an external hard drive. I don't want to install anymore operating systems onto the internal SSD because I don't want to run out of space. So, I'm wondering can I install Linux on an external hard drive, the same way I would on an internal hard drive and just plug it in via USB 3 or Thunderbolt? Is it actually possible to use a computer this way? I know I can boot from a usb stick, so is it possible to actually use a computer with an operating system installed in an external hard drive?

windows don't support being installed on usb mass storage installs like usb

I switched operating systems from PC to MAC what about my CS6?

Hey -
I bought photoshop cs6 recently(last fall) and now I have decided to change my operating system from a PC to a MAC how do I switch my program. When I bought the program I told the sales agent that I would be switicing OS soon and she said no problem I wont have to purchase a new version just switch it over. Does anyone know how to do this?

If you bought the perpetually licensed (non Cloud) version of Photoshop CS6 then the serial number is platform specific. Won't work on a Mac.
You'll need to obtain a Mac serial number.
Adobe does offer platform swaps for software but they usually only apply to the current software version
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l
However since CS6 is the last perpetually licensed version that Adobe will offer (since the CC version is Cloud only) perhaps the platform swap option is still valid for you.
Suggest you call Adobe to find out.

To reinstall the original OSX in your rMBP, boot the MBP using the COMMAND-OPTION-R keys. The display should show a picture if the planet earth and you will be connected to the Apple servers. Make certain that you have a solid Internet connection and follow the instructions.

How many partitions and operating systems can you line up in BootCamp?

A quick question, hopefully with a quick answer.
How many partitions and operating systems can you line up in BootCamp?
Are we limited to just 2, or can we have more?
Say, for example, Mac, Win XP, Win Vista and Linux maybe?
Thanks in advance.

VPC does not run on Intel Macs. If you wish to use virtualization on an Intel Mac see this:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not yet fully developed for the Mac - some features are not yet implemented - but it does work otherwise.
6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.
You can upgrade XP to Vista without having to make any changes to the Boot Camp partition. Vista can either perform an upgrade install or erase the Windows volume before installing Vista. You don't need to do anything to change the partition via Boot Camp. However, if you need to enlarge the partition, then the only way that can be done is to first use Boot Camp to remove the partition. Then use Boot Camp to make a new, larger partition. All data from the Windows partition will be lost.

How do I uninstall plus-ins from Aperture 3?

How do I uninstall plus-ins from Aperture 3?

So you are using OS 10.7.2?
You have two options: You can reveal the folders permanently from the Terminal:
Start the Terminal.app from Applications -> Utilities, then enter:
      sudo chflags nohidden /Library; open /Library               press return
to make the System Library visible and to reveal it in the Finder,
and
       chflags nohidden ~/Library; open ~/Library
to make the User Library visible and to reveal it in the Finder.
The "sudo" prefix makes you do the command authorized as Administrator. You will have to enter your admin password. Be careful when using this. Read any command twice to be sure you do not enter any wrong commands.
If you want to leave the libraries hidden,and only open them in the Finder, use the Finder "Go" menu.
To show the User Library:
Finder menu -> Go     hold down the opt-key, till the Library appears in the drop down menu, select it
To show the System Library:
Finder menu -> Go -> Go to Folder
enter      /Library        press return.
To hide the libraries again, if you prefer this, enter
     chflags hidden ~/Library
and
     chflags hidden /Library
in the Terminal window.
Good Luck     and Happy New Year!

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

I need to update my operating system from 10.5.8 to 10.6, I believe its the one before snow leopard and is just called leopard.

i need to update my operating system from 10.5.8 to 10.6 on my mac mini, I believe its the one before snow leopard and is just called leopard.

You seem to have your OS's confused.   Your profile says 10.6 but you are asking to update from 10.5.8.
10.5.8 is Leopard.   It is also the highest level of Leopard you can achieve.
10.6.(x) is Snow Leopard.   And 10.6.8 is the highest level you can achieve.
If you have 10.6 then all you will need to do is download and apply the combo updater.
If you have 10.5.8, then you will need to review the machine ... Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
Subject the machine will take it, you will then need to buy Snow Leopard from your National on-line Apple store.
Before you start upgrading, back up your files.   If you are unsure how best to do this, the following link is hugely informative.   Most commonly used backup methods: Apple Support Communities
Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, your upgrade will take you to 10.6.3 and you then will need to apply the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
and follow with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.
This will give you the best and highest level includine the App Store.
Good luck.
