HT4818 how do i remove windows from my mac

I partioned imac 4 years ago so I could also use Windows.   Haven't used Windows for 3 years.   How do I remove it from the computer?

It's important that you use Boot Camp Utility as Kurt suggests, don't try to do it with Disk Utility.

  • How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

    How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

    You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the 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.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    how can i uninstall windows from my mac?

    Use the Boot Camp Assistant in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to return the drive to a single partition setup. If you were running Windows from a disk image, delete that image.

  • HT2577 How do I remove RDC from my mac knowing that my lab programmer has accessed my mac?

    How do I remove RDC from my Mac knowing that the lab programmer has accessed my MacBook Pro from their PC and has been accessing my Mac for several months and downloading my personal files and emails to view?

    1.  You cannot download files with RDC.
    2.  RDC is a Microsoft product, and not related to Apple Remote Desktop..the focus of this forum
    3.  Per #1..clarify what exactly you're talking about.

  • I have my icals events duplicating due to Icloud and Mobileme.  How do I remove mobileme from my mac?

      I can turn the cals off but I think I just want them gone. How do I remove mobileme from my mac?  Or do I? 

    On your Macs, open System Preferences. If you don't see MobileMe but you do see iCloud under Internet & Wireless then everything is syncing via iCloud not MobileMe.
    Try this on your Macs...  Deselect Calendars in System Preferences > iCloud then reselect that box then restart your Macs.
    See if that prevents the duplicates.

  • I currently run Windows 7 on my iMac using the Parallels software on a Virtual Machine. I now wish to use Windows through bootcamp. How do I remove windows from the Virtual Machine

    I currently run Windows 7 on my Imac through a Virtual Machine format with the Parallels software. I now wish to remove Windows from the VM restore the Hard Drive to a single partition then install windows 7 using bootcamp. How do I go about it

    The virtual machine isn't a partition on your hard drive, it's just a file. You can delete the vm by going into Paralells preferences or just drag t to the trash. Bootcamp will partition your hard drive for a Win 7 install.

  • How can I remove offers4us from my mac on chrome?

    Hallo, I need help. I am trying to remove Offers4us from my mac, on Chrome. I receive plenty of annoying popup with offers. Can somebody help? Thanks
    gabriella

    Thank you very much, unfortunately the instructions are not so clear for me, I am trying to figure out what they suggest, but my english is not so good and I cannot understand what ‘Customize and Control Google Chrome’ menu > ‘Options’ > ‘Under the Hood’ > ‘Reset to Defaults’ button means in the italian translation
    anyway, I will keep on trying and see what happens.

  • How do I remove adware from my MAC OS X

    Can someone help me remove adware from my MAC OS X (10.6.8)?  This started a few days ago and is not only super annoying, but it seems to be suddenly slowing down my browser.

  • I know how to remove a installed program on a pc.  How do you remove one from a mac?

    I know how to remove an installed program from a pc.  However, I just purchased an imac and installed mcafee security on it.  It totally messed up by printer.  I want to remove it from my imac.  How do you do that?  I moved everything I could visually see to the trash, but it is still on the imac.  Help.

    This from McAfee website:
    Steps to uninstall:
    Click Go from your Finder window.
    Select Applications.
    Double-click the McAfee Internet Security Uninstaller.
    Check the box beside Uninstall SiteAdvisor.
    Click Continue.
    Enter your admin password and click OK.
    Click Finish.
    It appears from this that McAfee has an uninstaller.  For much software there is no installer and removing it simply involves finding it in the Applications folder and dragging it to the Trash.  Yes, this can leave some small files in Library but they are normally not an issue.

  • Removing Windows from my Mac's I used Fusion

    I have a simple question, if I uninstall fusion from my MACs will this remove windows also? I just want windows off my MACs any help will be greatly appreciated. Simple is great for me. Thanks in advance. Susan

    Hi Susan,
    since Fusion is not an Apple it would be better to use their own Product Support.
    However, see here http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=display KC&externalId=1014529 and here http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=display KC&externalId=1003420

  • How do i removal adware from a mac

    adware seems to have taken over my computer.  how do i remove it?  does apple have any tools to do this?  overtime i use safari to identify a problem, i get some non-apple sites trying to sell me something.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • How can I remove startpoint from my mac?

    I've searched online and most of the info relates to removing this very annoying malware from Windows machines. I use Chrome browser mostly so do not know if this malware also affects Safari on my Macbook Pro. The worst part is that startpoint will close Chrome on its own and I lose all the open tabs. Chrome reopens with its page set to search.startpoint.com. I immediately close that tab and reopen what I can remember, but I deeply resent a malware program taking control of my system, and I expect it is potentially dangerous. Any experience removing this? I checked the extensions folder in Chrome and there is nothing there related to startpoint.

    Would it help if I stand on my head when I do that?
    Just kidding.... will try your recommendation later and see what haps.

  • How do I remove 'CouponDropDown' from my Mac (Snow Leopard)

    For a few days i've been having this problem with pop-up ads on every site i visit. Here is a example of the ad on an apple.com page.
    i'm using Google Chrome. Today I deleted 'yontoo add-on' but the problem persists.
    Searching for Coupon Drop Down on my computer yields no results.
    What can I do to make it go away?

    I also had the "coupon" icons showing up in Facebook.
    I also have disabled two Firefox extensions and removed the Safari extension, but can't seem to delete it from Firefox (it shows up grayed out).
    I did find an installer in user > library > Caches
    yontoo.Yontoo-Installer-Silent
    and deleted that, but "torrent handler 1.1" is still grayed out. I have a feeling even reinstalling Firefox won't fix it but that's my next step.
