How is the best way to delete Windows off of your Mac?

I have Windows all up and running, and I no longer need it. What is the best way to get rid of that partition, and be back ot pure OSX? I would love to hear there is a way without erasing my whole hard drive. Thanks!

Here's the way. Pages 23 and 24

It's for Beta 1.3 but that does not matter - the removal instructions have never changed.

  • How is the best way to make a mirror of your site for a Spanish version that links to the English and Visa versa

    I will need to have my site be multilingual and was wondering what the best approach to this is. The sites will be identical with the text changing from one language to another.

    Hi David,
    You can copy the pages and all its content will be copied over. You can then change the text to the desired language. For linking pages to other language pages, you need to add hyperlink on the pages to the desired language pages.

    There is none. Whatever you do to get rid of the older versions will inevitably do damage to shared components and other stuff of the new versions as well. That's just how it is with this approach... Uninstall the older versions, run the cleaner tool then reinstall CC 2014.

  • How is the best way to manage the stats table?

    Hello!
    I have the Integration 2.1 working with an Oracle 8.1.7 db. I noticed that the table
    STATS is growing pretty fast.
    How is the best way to manage this table?... I haven't found something related with
    this issue in the documentation, but at least I want to know how to safely delete
    records from this table.
    For example, if I know the minimal time I have to keep in the table, is quite simple
    to create a shell script and/or Oracle pl/sql job to trim the table.
    I hope somebody can help me!!!!
    Thank you!

  • I need to install Internet Explorer 6 or greater on my iMac to work with a program.  How is the best way to do that?

    I need to install Internet Explorer 6 or greater on my iMac (intel processor) running MacOS 10.6.8 to work with a program.  How is the best way to accomplish this?

    There is no way.  IE has not been available for the Mac for years now.
    Your only option is to install native Windows and use that - either through a bootcamp dual-boot scenario, or use a virtual machine to run windows in (eg. Parallels or VMWare Fusion).  Either way, you will need a full retail install disk for Windows.
    P.S. the last version of IE for Mac was for PPC machines, and it was discontinued in 2003.

    I don't do J2ME, but the best way I've run across is offscreen rendering and javax.swing.Timer
    If there is an equivalent in J2ME I highly recommend it.

  • What is the best way to run windows on my mac?

    What is the best way to run windows on my mac?
    I have a particular program that i need to run, and it only runs on windows. I have a macbook pro

    As Templeton noted, it depends and will at least be somewhat subjective. 
    There are basically three options out there.  You can use a Windows emulator (Wine or the commercial version of it, Crossover Office), use Boot Camp to "dual boot" or use virtualization software (Parallels, VMWare Fusion, or VirtualBox).  Each has its advantages or disadvantages.
    The Windows emulators have the advantage of being the one option that doesn't need the purchase of a copy of Windows.  Unlike Boot Camp, but like the virtualization options, this allows you to run Windows programs and OSX programs side by side.  The big problem, though, is that it is the least compatible option--a lot of Windows software either has "issues" or will not function at all.  The Crossover website has information on which programs are known to work and how well they are known to work. 
    Boot Camp is the option that Apple ships OSX with.  You'll need a copy of Windows to install into the partition.  You'll effectively divide your disk into two parts and have two machines.  The major advantages are, first, you don't need to acquire separate software *AND* the Windows license.  As well, it's the highest performance Windows system.  What you have is truly a Windows machine.  That's both the good and the bad--you aren't going to be able to use OSX software at the same time, and you have to reboot to get back to OSX.  I've always thought it was best for someone who likes the Apple hardware and wants to use it for a Windows box--in that case Boot Camp is clearly a great solution.
    Finally there's virtualization which seems to be the most popular way to handle Windows, especially if you need to run one vertical market package.  It has the advantage of allowing you to use your OSX software at the same time, and the virtualization gives an extremely high level of compatibility.  About the only thing that won't run is a virtualization package (and there's not a lot of reason to run that in a Windows VM).  There is a performance hit compared to Boot Camp, but it's minimal for all but the most demanding applications (that being high end games). 
    It will chew up RAM on the OSX machine, but if you have at least 4 GB of RAM it will probably be manageable, especially if you only need to run one Windows program.
    You will need both a virtualization program (there are three major ones) and purchase Windows.  Two of three programs are commercial packages (Parallels and VMWare Fusion), while the other is an open source option (VirtualBox).  Virtual Box has the advantage of being free, but it's by far the least polished of the group.
    Which way is best?  As was noted, it depends.  I run VMWare Fusion on my machines, and I have used CrossOver Office for limited purposes.  I've not yet seen, in my use pattern, a reason to go to Boot Camp but I certainly can see cases where it might make sense.

  • What is the best way to delete MacKeeper?

    I installed MacKeeper last year in an attempt to free up some hard drive space on my former hard drive. I now have a new SSD and have no need for MacKeeper. In addition, I see that this programme attracts a lot of negative press.
    What is the best way to delete MacKeeper from my hard drive and Time machine?

    Remove the "MacKeeper" crapware as follows. First, back up all data.
    "MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Applications from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Then a dialog will pop up asking why you want to uninstall it. You don't have to provide that information. Enter anything you like in the text box, then click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
    Do not try to uninstall by dragging the MacKeeper icon in the Dock or the LaunchPad to the Trash.
    Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” "tune-ups," “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

  • How is the best way to send data from local database into remote database ?

    Hi all,
    I need to send data from local Oracle database into remote oracle database. Both sites connected via 128 kbps frame relay connection.
    The sending need to be done once a week, can be done nightly.
    How is the best way to do this ?
    Thank you very much,
    xtanto

    How is the best way to do this ?How much are you planning to send?
    You can use COPY command. Ensure that you have valid database link between two databases.
    Available options are:
    create - creates a new table. errors out if the destination table exists.
    replace - drop the destination table and re-creates with data.
    insert - inserts data if the destination table exists.
    append– appends data into an existing table.
    use set arraysize 5000 -The arraysize specifies the number of rows that SQL*Plus will retrieve from the database at one time.

    My backup plan is to use Time Machine to make a backup to an external disk drive plus I also do a clone of my system disk. So far between the bootable clone and the Time Machine backup this plan has covered all of my needs.
