HT1461 I get an error creating a partition

In Boot camp and in disk utility, I cannot create a partition. I just get an error that it cannot create partition. Any ideas?

    trying to set up new IMAP account and get message "Error creating account: Incoming server already exists." Changed settings manually, but same error message.

    I have been getting this too (for the last two days - on at least a dozen tries).
    I am Running Win7 and already have three POP accounts.
    All definitely have the incoming server pop.googlemail.com
    I wanted to add a new IMAP account, so in T'Bird
    Tools.... Account Settings
    Account Actions ..... Add Mail Account
    Filled in
    my name,
    the email address ([email protected] - and in gmail this mail account
    was created as IMAP),
    password (with a tick to remember this)
    ... continue
    and it then detected the mail setup as IMAP,
    Incoming : IMAP, imap.googlemail.com , SSL
    Outgoing : SMTP, smtp.googlemail.com , SSL
    Username: [email protected]
    but when I then clicked on Done
    it said Error Creating Account - Incoming server already exists.
    And if I then clicked on OK followed by Manual Config, it then showed
    in the Mail Account Setup
    Incoming: IMAP imap.googlemail.com 993 SSL/TLS Normal Password
    and again if I then clicked Done it gave the same error message as before.
    (and I have screenshots to support all of this).
    But I do not know if someone has been working on a fix to T'Bird or googlemail, because just now when I did it yet again in order to make a final check that what I have been writing here is correct , this time I did NOT get the error message and the new account has been setup!!!!!
    So do others find this has now been cleared too?

  • Syntax error Creating Transparent Partition in MaxL

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create a simple transparent partition (no mapping needed, just using all the 3 dimensions and descendants in the source database to the target database. I'm getting a syntax error, I went through the MaxL naming conventions and also tried a couple of diffferent things but to no avail. Please help as to what the error might be:
    My code is as below. The error I get is: Getting a syntax error near '@IDESCENDANTS("Accounts"), @IDESCENDANTS("Products"),@IDESCENDANTS("Market)
    Code:
    create transparent partition student8.coke area '@IDESCENDANTS("Accounts"), @IDESCENDANTS("Products"),@IDESCENDANTS("Market")' sourceArea to student8.cokepart at lab01 as essadmin identified by 'password' area '@IDESCENDANTS("Accounts"), @IDESCENDANTS(Products), @IDESCENDANTS("Market")' targetArea;

    Nobody replied to this, but actually the error was the double quotes on Accounts, Products and Market.

  • I'm trying to download and run Firefox but keep getting an "error creating directory" message. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\res\dtd What do I need to do to fix this?

    It shows under the message, the following:
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\res\dtd
    What do I need to do to fix this?

    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Can't create a partition - 'some files could not be moved'

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to install Boot Camp on my MBP C2D, 2.33GHz, 3GB RAM, x1600 128. I set the size of the partition and after a long time get an error that the partition could not be created, because some files could not be moved. It tells me to go into disk utility and restore the Mac OS drive to a single partition and install OSX again.
    I'm at university so I can't reinstall OSX, and don't want to. As I've read from around the net this problem means there is a big file somewhere that can't be moved, or something similar. What I've done is check my disk with iDefrag, which says its only 0.7% fragmented, I've 'erased' my free space, I've deleted even more stuff off my Mac HD (have 35 or so GB free, only want a 5GB partition), I've verified and fixed both the drive and permissions in disk utility and disk ulitity from a CD boot, and tried changing the size of the partition. I tried creating a partition in disk utility, and was told it could not be done because there was not enough space (there definately was). I've used a bunch of tools to clean up my computer, re-indexed spotlight, and I'm at the end of my rope of ideas. I've had bootcamp many times on this laptop before, so am totally at a loss what to do. Does anyone have any ideas? Again, I can't reinstall OSX/wipe the drive.
    I'm using Leopard, 10.5.5.
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. I went from 40 GB to 230 GB of free disk space. Tried creating a partition with 100, 80, 60 GB, but it slaps me with the same error message each time. It is ridiculous to ask users to backup and restore their information (by the way, it should say take a long process of backing up all your files, reformatting your hard drive and reinstalling your operating system together with all applications). I do have an external drive, but it is already full. Why else would anyone buy it? To wait for something like a boot camp error to happen and ask me to backup my stuff? There are big files on my computer and if now over 230 GB is not enough free space for it to move them around then I can really be ashamed for ever buying such an expensive computer which can't do a simple task as creating a partition.

    If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
    Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
    Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
    If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
    reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
    If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.

    How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive

  • I'm getting this error with bootcamp "The startup disk does not have enough space to be partitioned"

    Here's the story...
    I had a dual boot configuration on my mac with Mac OS X Lion and Windows XP (made with bootcamp).
    I decided to reinstall windows.
    I deleted the windows partition using BootCamp.
    Tried to recreate the Windows partition with Boot Camp and got: "The startup disk does not have enough space to be partitioned  You must have at least 10 GB of free space available"
    After reading several posts on this forum I decided to defrag the hard drive and try again. 
    The defrag did not work and I'm still getting the error, I have 22 gb of free space on my drive.
    Any suggestions?
    Also, I tried repair disk and repair permissions
    Hmm, my external harddrive says on the box "OS X 10.5.8 or higher (32-bit kernel only)"  Could the 32-bit requirement be an issue? Is lion 64-bit?

    Boot Camp must be able to allocate a contiguous block of space on the drive. If it cannot find 10 GBs of contiguous space, then you cannot create the Windows partition.
    You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive.
    Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the external one.
    Boot from the external hard drive.
    Erase the internal hard drive.
    Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
    Clone the internal drive to the external drive
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After startup do the following:
    Erase internal hard drive
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.  Do not quit Disk Utility.
    Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
    Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.

  • Input / Output Error when creating GUID Partition on External Drives

    I've been trying to setup an install of OS X on an external device and therefore need to partition them to the GUID Partition Scheme.
    I've tried it with my iPod and an External Hard Disk Drive and no matter what I do, I get the error:
    Exited with Error: Input / Output Error
    Thats all I get. I can partition them with either of the other two choices, but of course those wont let me boot an Intel Based Mac.
    The External HDD is USB 2.0, the iPod I've tried both USB and Firewire, and have not had any luck. I know it can be done, but am not sure why I'm having this problem.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem. Trying to format an external drive with the GUID scheme fails.
    # diskutil eraseDisk HFS+ Test GPTFormat /dev/disk1
    Started erase on disk disk1
    Creating Partition Map
    error writing partition map: Invalid argument (22)
    Partitioning encountered error Invalid argument (22) on disk disk1
    I've tried this on my Intel MacBook and on my PPC Mac Mini. Tried using a generic USB2 flash disk and also an iPod shuffle. Always the same error.
    Is GUID broken on external drives?

  • How do you get past the create partition step?  Trying to indtall Windows 7 using Boot Camp 5

    Trying to install Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro with Mavericks.  Currently run Win7 using VMware but experiencing poor performance and lockup.  Have tried to use Boot Camp but cannot get past the 'creating partition' step.  The blue bar shows some progress (about 10%), but then after some time it produces a generic error message thst it cannot create the partition. 

    Hold the option while turning on the computer. You should see your statup drives. Just choose the OS X drive and eject your disc once in OS X.

  • When trying to install Mountain Lion I get an error message, Failed, recovery can't be created

    When trying to install Mountain Lion I get an error message, Failed, recovery can't be created

    My Mountain Lion install failed for the following reason:
    OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD, because a recovery system can't be created.
    The message went on:
    Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more.
    The page is about a different failure, but I'm assuming the reason for my failure is this one:
    The disk has a non-standard Boot Camp partition setup, in which further partitioning was performed after running Boot Camp Assistant, or the configuration that Boot Camp Assistant created was manually modified.
    The cure involves erasing the entire HD and starting from scratch, which in my case would involve backing up both the Mac and Windows sides, setting up Boot Camp again, reinstalling Windows XP and recovering everything from backups on both sides. I would rather not have Mountain Lion than go through all that, and I think it's unfair for Apple to expect me to.
    Because I don't recall doing anything off-piste when I set up Boot Camp in the first place (for a start, I'm not clever enough), I consider this episode an inadequacy in the Mountain Lion installer. As I won't be using the download, is it possible to get my money back?
