HT4818 How do I increase my space on the Windows partition side of my Mac?

Help!  I have installed a Windows partition using Bootcamp.  I need to increase the amount of space for The Windows portion.  Right now it's 20GB.  After I've installed QB 2012 and Norton Anti Virus I am out of room!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to uninstall Windows. In Lion, open Boot Camp Assistant, delete the volume and create that again. Finally, install Windows

  • How do i recover disk space after deleting windows partition?

    I have a macbook pro running on maverick. I removed the windows partition using bootcamp assistant, but I did not gain the disk space back. The disk space is 500gb but it's still showing 250gb?

    Yes, that matters. So your partition map looks something like this:
    You see one single space surrounded in blue with the disk name in the center, sort of like the above. But, you say that this space is only 250 GBs of your 500 GB drive. In other words the space in the Size field reads 250 GBs, mol? Am I correct in my understanding?
    I suggest you might give this a try: repair the hard drive using Disk Utility. Then restart the computer. See if that recovers the space. It would also help if you could send me a screen image like mine but of your Disk Utility display on the same settings.

  • DATA TRANSFER - How to get a SINGLE SPACE in the downloaded file from UNIX?

    Hi Experts,
    Am sending data from SAP to UNIX/ Application server and text file on desk top as well.
    So, I am keeping a single character just SPACE at the END of each record.
    Then, When I see the downloaded text file, I found a SINGLE SPACE at the end of each record, fine.
    Then, by using CG3Y t code, I downloaded the UNIX file to my desk top.
    But, When I see this UNIX downloaded file from UNIX, I did NOT find any SPACE at the end of each record!!!
    Am doing every thing same in both cases.
    So,
    1 - Why its happening in case of UNIX file?
    2 - How to get a SINGLE SPACE  at the END in the downloaded file from UNIX?
    thanq

    Hi,
    I don't know if this works:
    perform SET_TRAIL_BLANKS(saplgrap) using 'X'.  
    perform SET_FIXLEN(saplgrap) using '0' '060'.   "put length of your line from-to
    ... download ...
    It will put space at the end of your line, according to the length.
    Hope it works,

  • How do I remove the white space from the bottom and side of my document?

    How do I remove the white space from the bottom and side of my document? (I'm not talking about printing, just viewing it on the screen.) There are about 6 inches of white space at the bottom and at the right hand side. I don't like this. On a blank new spreadsheet it's triple that amount of white space.

    The infinite canvas convention doesn't make a lot of sense for Numbers. When I'm viewing a spreadsheet and mistakenly scroll into white, empty space I think, "this is ridiculous - all of my content is fits on one screen. there's nothing over there."
    A (relatively) infinite canvas is logical for Microsft Excel because it's one big table. There are 256(?) columns by default and hundreds of rows on a sheet - there are cells outside what a user is looking at to see. However, when viewing a Numbers spreadsheet with a single 10 column 10 row table that fits on the screen, there's nothing else on it to scroll to.
    Numbers should distinguish between viewing a spreadsheet and editing one. When I'm just viewing, when there's no content outside the window it shouldn't scroll there. This window behavior is beyond annoying for Numbers on my iPad and iPhone.
    (Adding user-defined canvas size setting to my view mode / edit mode thinking would probably be the most complete solution to this now that I think about it.)
    Until now the way scrolling worked in Numbers has defied logic. Actually it still does lol. That said, thank you Yellowbox for providing a clear explanation. Much appreciated.

  • Why can't I recover disc space after removing Windows partition?

    Greetings,
    I have an early 2008 iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo with a 500 GB HD that I have steadily updated from Leopard to Mountain Lion.  I also had partitioned my HD using Bootcamp 2.0 to run Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  Everything hummed along nicely until the upgrade to OS 10.8.2. After that I could no longer start up in the Windows partition, ostensibly due to system registry files having become corrupt (or missing).  After several vain attempts at recovering Vista, I determined to start over using Bootcamp (now upgraded to 5.0), but 5.0 would install Windows 7, apparently not Vista. I was able to remove the Windows partition using Bootcamp 5.0 (the Windows drive no longer shows up at start up when I hold down the option key Macintosh HD and Recovery 10.8.2 remain).  I was hoping to recover the remaining HD space for the Mac.  In Disc Utliity, it shows the Mac HD occupies 337 GB of space (about 86 GB is free). The remaining 162 GB is greyed out.  If I resize the Mac HD to take up the remaining space and attempt to repartition it says "Partition Failed -- couldn't modify partition map because file system verification failed".
    I would like to recoup as much of the 162 GB as feasible, but at this point neither Bootcamp nor Disc Utility seem to be helping.  How can I accomplish this?Thanks.

    I have a problem on my early 2011 macbook pro customized with core i5 processor and 500gb hdd regarding BOOTCAMP for Installing Windows 8 on OS 10.9 Mavericks
    I tried to install windows 8 with bootcamp on OS X 10.9 Mavericks but while partitioning bootcamp was not responding and then i force quit it. After that i opened disk Utility and it showed no partitions for windows 8.
    But then my HDD which had 210GB free later showed as 136.27 Gb free only. IT means that my partition was not successful and it took up 74GB on my HDD.
    I dont want to erase my HDD and Reinstall OS X but want a solution to get my 74GB space back on my hdd without troubles of formatting and restoring from backup.
    Plz Help Solution Needed Urgently.

  • The disk space disappears after bootcamp failed in deleting the windows partition.

    Hardware: Macbook Pro 700
    OS: Lion v10.7
    1. I installed Windows 7 in my mac. The space of Windows partition is 80G.
    2. Some dlls of Windows will always disappear and at last the Windows cannot be started successfully.
    3. Yesterday I updated Lion and started the bootcamp to remove the Windows partition. But bootcamp throwed an error(I forget what the error is).
    4. I started bootcamp again to try to remove the Windows partition, but there is only create Windows partition in the options.
    5. I started the Disk Utilities and verified the disk. The reported result was that there were some errors in disk.
    6. So I restarted the machine and pressed COMMAND+R and entered the Disk Utilities to repair the disk.
    7. After repairing the disk, there are no errors in disk now. But 80G space disappears.
    Now my whole disk is still 320G, but the mac partition is 238G.
    How can I repair it? Please help me.

  • How do I remove the Windows partition? Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the remove option.

    I am using an iMac, 8.1, early 2008. I installed Windows XP at that time. I am now using OS 10.8.5 and want to remove the Windows partition to free up disk space. Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the "install or remove" option. How can I get rid of the Windows partition?

    You can try removing it in Disk Utility.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. Select the bottom rectangle/partition. Click on the Delete [-] button below the sizing window to remove it. Click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    4. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for the remaining partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and drag it all the way down to the bottom. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. 
    You should now have a restored single volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • Not all free disk space available for windows partition in Boot Camp

    Hi,
    I want to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp on my MacBook (2009, Mavericks OS, BootCamp Assistant 5.1.2) and unfortunately it has been a huge struggle until now to achieve that. The whole reason for this is that I had Windows XP as the second OS on my MacBook, but I wanted to increase the Windows partition with Disk Utility. Unfortunately this permanently damaged my Windows partition so I couldn't use it anymore.
    What I did next? I decided to delete the old Windows XP (which isn't supported anymore by Mavericks) with Disk Utility, which afterwards tells me that I have 1 partition left: The Mac partition.
    From there on I wanted to install Windows 7 with the newer Boot Camp. The problem is that in fact Finder tells me that my Macintosh HD has 58,54 Gb free space, so I would like to assign at lease 30 Gb to the to-be Windows partition. However, Boot Camp only gives me the option to assign 20 until 24 Gb, other values I can't assign.
    Can anyonetell me why this happens or what could be the problem? I need to have more than 24 Gb available for my Windows as this was the whole reason why I once wanted to increase my old Windows partition, that's where all the problems came from.
    I appreciate your help, thank you!
    Here is what Disk Utility tells about my partitions:

    TTBOMK the only way you can increase the Windows partition is to repartition the drive back to a single partition
    Then reinstall Mountain Lion
    Restore all data from backup
    Create new larger partition with Boot Camp
    Install Windows
    Restore data from backup

  • Can I adjust the size Firefox maximizes to, since it leaves a small sliver of space on the left-hand side, even when maximized?

    When I have my dock set to the left-hand side of my screen, Firefox maximizes to all but a small sliver of space on the left hand side. Is there a way to change the default maximized window parameters (in about:config or something), or is there an add-on that will allow you to do it?

    In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
    Open Finder and use one of these:
    *Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
    *Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
    *http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90947.html Access hidden user library files
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • After Installing Lion how do i get the windows partition back?

    The Windows Partition is not showing up after installing Lion.
    I only get the option of booting Mac or Recovery
    How do I get it back.

    Hi!
    I had the similar problem, where my windows option went missing after installing Lion. I gave up trying to resolve it and did a clean installation on windows again by re-configuring my Windows partition & install Windows 7 on it. It seems to work well for now...
    Apple should have warned us that the Windows partition will be unreadable when u install Lion. Hence, allowing users to back their files up on Windows environment before installing Lion.
    Thank god I did not have any important files save in Windows.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I do not recommend you to download the Windows support software through Boot Camp Assistant.
    Instead, you can download the Windows support software for most Macs from the Apple website. Go to this website, look for your MacBook Pro model and the Windows version you want to install, and follow its steps.

  • How do I center my slide in the window in keynote

    how do I center my slide in the window in keynote?
    I know I can fit to window, but can I have the slide smaller than my window and centered?
    It stays in the upper left hand corner.

    You don't say, but I'll assume you mean that this occurs when Keynote is in "edit" mode. The positioning of the slide boundaries snug to the upper left is fixed in Keynote and can't be changed.
    Many have looked for ways to add new objects, images, etc., coming from above and/or from the left off-slide. This can be done with some creative steps.
    The simplest solution to this is to attach (group) an "invisible" handle to the object and use the handle to move the object out of sight to the left or above. Create an object such as a narrow rectangle, assign it NO FILL, NO LINE and while it is selected, Shift-Click on the object you wish to hide and then Arrange > Group. Now you have an invisible handle that you can use to hide your object off-slide.
