How to remove boot camp partion after windows has been deleted

I have removed windows 7 from my mac book air. however the partition will not be deleted... how can I remove the partition.

Hi,
Usually the correct way to remove your Windows partition is to use the BootCamp Assistant again which should give you the option to remove the made Windows partition and revert back to one OSX volume.
After that's done a reboot of your Mac might be advisable. After the reboot use the BootCamp Assistant again to make the Windows partition and then install the (hopefully correct) version of Windows.
Only if that's not working (whatever the reason) :
1) boot your Mac from your OSX install DVD
2) choose your language and then 'ignore' (cancel) the installation
3) from the Top Menu (Utilities) start Disk Utility (DU)
4) in DU click on your harddisk (not any partition) in the left pane (the first item listed)
5) in the right pane use the 'Partition'-Tab
6) click to highlight on the ex-Windows partition you want to delete
7) click on the small '-' Button at the bottom
That should delete your former Windows partition
After that's done successfully
8) Drag the partition separator line until it encompasses the entire drive and then select apply.
9) Quit Disk Utility
10) reboot your Mac from your harddisk.
Since you are 'fumbling' with your OSX partition you should consider having/making a backup of it before trying the a.m. procedure. Just in case.

Maybe this question has been found already, but I have yet to find the answer. How can I restore my bookmarks after it has been deleted from my 'bookmarkbackups' folder?

So it has been a couple months now since I last cleaned up my bookmarks toolbar. And I could remember a couple of bookmarks tabs I wish I did not delete. I found some articles saying I could try restoring previous versions of my bookmarks from the dates of recent system restore points. But the earliest date I found was of only last week's. I've checked everywhere in my Firefox profile for anything that I could restore to date back into that time, but they too only tracked back as early as last week. I believe the automatic backups Firefox had made during that time has now long been deleted from the system in order to make room for my most current ones. How am I going to be able to retrieve those bookmarks when their aren't any backups available now to restore from?

If you do not have backups of your bookmarks, either in the bookmarkbackups folder or saved elsewhere, then you can't restore your bookmarks.

Phone Apple Support and order replacement disks, or restore it from backup, or if your computer supports it, upgrade the OS and buy iPhoto from the Mac App Store.

how do you enlarge boot camp partition after windows is installed

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can do it with third-party programs, but I don't recommend it because you can damage the hard drive. The best way to do it is to delete your Windows volume and create it again with the size you need

IS there an option to remove Windows in Bootcamp Assistant?

HT3777 How to install Boot Camp on 32bit Windows 8 on a 2011 MacBook Pro?

I used Boot Camp to install Windows 8 Consumer Preview as the 2nd OS on my 2011 MacBook Pro. However after the installation I cannot install the additional Boot Camp just the drivers for webcam/wifi/ethernet/cardreader/display/chipset etc.
But I would like to be able to use the function keys to adjust the brightness and volume like on a normal laptop without having to go through settings.
Anyone know how?

You need to install the Boot Camp Windows Support Software, but I have no idea which version of OSX you have so, if 10.6.x the software is on the OSX install disk, likewise for 10.5.x, if you are running 10.7.x (lion) it is a download from the Boot Camp Assistant.

Removing Boot Camp Components from Windows 7

Hi. I just got an Apple Keyboard with Numberpad. To make it fully work on my PC with Windows 7, I had to install Boot camp (I used my copy of OS X Snow Leopard). Once boot camp was installed, the media keys and volume keys started working perfectly as they would on a Mac, and the volume HUD also started displaying when I change the volume (looks good). But Boot camp also installed a bunch of other stuff, including drivers that I do not need, like iSight driver, bliuetooth, etc. It also replaced some of my own drivers, but that's not an issue yet. The question is, how can I remove boot camp assistant and its components that are useless to me? What to remove, and what not to remove? I just want full functionality of the keyboard, as I have it right now...
Thanks in advance.

Try restore to earlier would undo everything.
I'd go ahead and uninstall Boot Camp for sure.
Then Device Manager
You don't want Apple serivces and startup items - though Apple TimeServices checks the clock on every boot up.
MSCONFIG to disable any startupitem and services being loaded. But there should / might be one for keyboard.
From your OS X DVD, copy the contents to a folder on Windows and then look for kbmgr and move (copy and paste) to a new folder. You don't need any of the other things for motherboard, network, etc that you can rollback or uninstall in Device Manager.
Pick up Paragon Hard Drive Manager 2011 for an easy disk to disk OS clone for backup - you can boot from either hard drive w/o problem, just change the cable or the BIOS boot device.
Hard Disk Manager Suite 2011
I'm surprised that if Apple sells their keybaord for PCs that they don't include just a device driver, or that Windows didn't pick up on what to install automatically.

Site still starred after bookmark has been deleted

I was clearing old bookmarks and noticed that one site still shows up in autocomplete and is starred even though the associated bookmark has been deleted. Also, when I try to visit the site and go to the Edit Bookmark dialogue box by clicking on the site, it redirects to the main site which is no longer starred. Deleted the site from my browser history does not get rid of the star either so it still shows up in autocomplete after being deleted.
Please help me get rid of this site!

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Did you back it up first? If so, are you willing to restore your iPhone back to the last backup?
If you didn't back it up, it's gone.

Removing Boot Camp Partition after now using Parallels

Is it possible to completely remove the boot camp partition (under Snow Leopard) without having to reformat the HD and reinstall everything? I don't need it now that I am using Parallels with an XP virtual machine installed on my OSX partition.

I ran the assistant and did the restore. Now when my computer turns on I have to hold the option key to get to the mac log in. There isn't the windows boot up option any more. However it wont just boot up to Mac. Any ideas?
Once in OS X go to System Preferences - Startup Volume and set OSX to be the default.
On the next reboot ist should automatically boot into OSX.

HT1461 how to remove boot camp assistant from mac os x

Please help me with this.
From an Internet advertising, I got an annoying "Boot Camp Assistant" application on my screen. It itvites me to install Windows or support software for Windows, etc, with three checkboxes. I am not interested in any and would like to quit from the red dot button, but that is dimmed. The program only lets mo go forward and choose on of the options. How can I get rid of this annoyance?
Thanks,
Constantin

This was on the Mac side, before losding Boot Camp. I solved the problem when I discovered the three-key combination for force quit.
Thanks for your reply.

How to make boot camp install my windows 7 ISO without a Cd? Broken optical drive...

So yeah, my internal optical drive is dead and i am not paying for a repair nor an external drive.
Boot camp keeps prompting me to install a windows 7, but tough luck for me doing that. I found a tutorial online that suggests modifying the info.plist file of Boot Camp Assisant like so:
once all of the above is complete you can edit the 'info.plist' file in TextEdit (or another editor, like Xcode if you prefer). what you want to do is add a string to let 'Boot Camp Assistant' recognize your machine like it would a Macbook Air. use the 'System Profiler' Hardware Overview to identify your "Model Identifier" (i.e. mine is: MacBookPro5,2). using this, you can write your model into the file using a line like:
<string>MBP52</string>
this string should be placed in the array section found at the very end of 'info.plist'. it is recommended to add it to the end or beginning of the array ..for me it needed to be at the beginning.
you will know this is successful by opening 'Boot Camp Assistant' and finding all three tasks are now available.. the first choice being "Create a Windows 7 install disk".
I tried doing just that, but my macbook's System profiler ID'ed it as MacBook 5,1 so my string looked like: <string>MB51</string>
Go figure, i'm not seeing the new options to install windows ISO to a external usb drive...
Ive been having problems with this for three days, I NEED HELP

Sorry, but there is no built-in option to autosplit an exiting project.
Other than
writing a custom Automator Workflow or AppleScript to do that programmatically
or define smart albums or searches for each day, then create a project from each album or search result,
there is little you can do within Aperture once the project has been imported.
For an Aperture Newbie I think the easiest solution (uless you already have invested a lot of work into adjusting and tagging the images) would be to
reexport the gigantic project "Export masters"
and reimport the exported folder with proper import settings.
The Autosplit should be turned on
in the Aperture Preferences -> Import, Autosplit into Projects
and during imort in the Import Panel -> Import settings -> Aperture Library Brick -> Automatically split Projects
