I can't seem to remove partitions(?)

Hi. I've had my hard drive partitioned so as to run Lion and Ubuntu (with a 1GB swap partition), but decided to remove and have 100% for Lion.
When trying to remove these two partitions in Disk Utility, the Ubuntu partition simply changed to free space and the 1GB swap area won't go, even though it says it has been removed.
Does anyone know how to get around this so that there is just one partition?
Also, I can't boot into Recovery HD, I don't appear to have one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Just figured it out, apologies!

I want to delete all browser history in URL drop down box, I can't seem to remove them

When I type a web address in the main url box, a drop down appears as I type each letter. Many of these sites are old or I want them deleted. I've deleted all other histories but these seem to have a determination to stay! How do I delete them?

See:
* [[Clearing Location bar history]]
* [[Cannot clear Location bar history]]
Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks. 
You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar. 
This will open the Edit This Bookmark dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.

I can't seem to remove a driver from a driver pack

As weird as it may sound this is what happens to me.
I use Config Mgr 2012, SP1.
I'm currently OSD'ing 6-7 different type of machines, one of those is the Lenovo T520.
I went to Lenovos site and picked up their drivers for this model for Windows 7 x64.
It aborted though during the task sequence, after downloading and applying windows, halfway through installing the driver pack
that I assigned for the model.
Error:
Windowsfailed to start.
A recenthardwareofsoftwarechangemightbethecause.
File:ifM63x64.sys
Status:0xc0000098
Info:Windowsfailed to loada requiredfileBecauseis missingor corrupt.
a bit of googling told me that several other people have had issues with this driver..
"Intel Ethernet FCoE Virtual Storport Miniport Driver Version 1.14.12.0"
The sites I checked seemed to have 100% succes rate by simply removing this specific driver from the package.
They also stated its not an essential driver.
So I completely deleted the driver from config mgr, and of course updated my driver package to the distribution point.
Then got the same error during task sequence
Thought that was pretty weird, to get an error on a driver that was now supposedly non existent..
So I googled some more and saw that some had issues with the driver pack did not actually update even though it said it did.
they fixed this by completely removing it and making a new one.
So I did the following:
1: Deleted the driver Pack
2: Went to the directory and made sure the driver pack had no files left on the server.
3: I created a brand new Driver Pack, I added all the drivers, without the previously deleted 'FCoE Virtual Storport miniport Driver'
4: I make sure the task sequence uses the correct new Driver Pack
And I still get the error. This is where I'm lost.. why am I still getting this error? the driver doesn't exist in SCCM anymore, and I even made a new package

How about this:
Delete the driver package and delete the folder that got created during the creating the driver package
Re-import the drivers for the model, make sure the FCoE driver isn't included in the source
Re-create driver package, distribute it to DPs
Apply Driver Package -step in TS, make sure it uses the new package and it's filtered with WMI (SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Model LIKE '%TS520%' or something that works...)

I can't seem to remove Incredibar from about:config. When I reset, it still comes back

I have removed ALL instances of incredibar/incredimail from my laptop. When I go into the Firefox configuration (about:config), I reset ALL of the incredibar extensions. However, when I restart Firefox, ALL of the incredibar extensions come back. This is really annoying because I have completely removed incredibar. Please help. Thanks

P.S. I don't want to lose any of my Firefox customizations, either.

Hope this video helps you to get rid of it. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVNwJPuy898 How to Remove Mystart By Incredibar Toolbar from Firefox]

I can't seem to remove a red pin from the Google map?

I don't have the option to remove the red pins. I tried click on them and then the right arrow to bring up their info. I have the option to replace it, but not to remove it. My map is getting rather full of these. What am I missing?
Thanks!

lol...I see what you mean. I didn't realize my old search stays there indefinitely. I searched for a chain store that had multiple locations, so it left pins all over the map.
Color me embarrased, and thanks

Can't seem to Remove Cookies and Website Data

Every time I try removing all cookies and website data from my macbook pro... it keeps coming back, as if I didn't remove anything!... What's happening? ... I'm going to Safari/Preferences/Privacy/Remove All Website Data... then clicking the "Remove All" button, and All the cookies dissapear ... then I restart my computer, and when I go back and check, all the cookies and website data are still there!.... any clues?

This has been the case for years.
Google alone once launched after removing cookies, installs many of the same cookies.
Safari > Preference > Privacy > Remove "All Website Data"
Do it twice.
Next do a "Reset Safari" from the Safari menu.

How do I remove partitions "PV2" and "Boot Camp"?

I tried installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp and lost power during install. I want to completely start over but have partitions "PV2" and "Boot Camp" that I can't seem to remove. I have tried to remove partitions in Disk Utility but everything is grayed out. Boot Camp Assistant says "The disk appears to have been partitioned by another utility and can't be removed."

When I boot to recovery (Command+R) it gives me four options: Restore with Time Machine Backup, Reinstall OS X, Get Help Online, and Disk Utility. I am assuming I should erase the drives usings Disk Utility. I am able to select the PV2 and Boot Camp but when I select the "partition" tab the +/- buttons on the bottom is grayed out. I am not sure how exactly to "erase the entire drive." If you couldn't tell, I am a novice imac owner. I did make a backup using Time Machine earlier today.

I erased my windows partition using disk utility then realized I should have used boot camp, because now I can't resize the original partition and seem to be stuck with a ghost unusable space. Boot Camp now doesn't give me the option to install or remove windows partition.

Hi, Ralph,
The problem is that I did erase the partition, using disk utility, but I can't go back to my original disk size pre-partition, as disk utility won't let me do it and gives the message "Couldn’t modify partition map because file system verification failed." When I try to use Boot Camp Assistant it won't let me select the third option to remove windows.

The mouse that came with my Mac does not have a right click feature. When I try to highlight and click, it just opens the link I don't want anymore. What I want to do is remove unwanted links from the top bar. For example, I no longer use GoodSearch or myEarthLink, but I can't delete them. There are also some links that never should have found their way up there, and I don't know how they ended up there, and I can't remove them either. I've read through a ton of questions and answers, and I can't find one that addresses the problem. With my Safari browser, all I have to do to remove an unwanted link is to click and drag it to the trash. It doesn't appear to work that way with Firefox, to my chagrin. I hope this better explains my question. Maybe that will give you a better insight into a solution.

If the tunes have DRM and they are not from your iTS account then you will need to have the password of the account that purchased the tunes. If the tunes have no DRM then you should be able to play the tunes with no problem.

HT1277 I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?

I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?

I meant that I sign out, sign back in ok. Ergo, I know my password. Someone here on the support page (you?) told me the culprit is the 2 step verification process which I had on. That makes a lot of sense as Apple mail won't get a code thereby jamming up the process. I could not even start a new account until I took that 2 step process off. Everything fine now thank you.

Mysterious, unauthorized DirecTV Pending Orders that no one can seem to remove from our account

Such a long story - I'm hoping that posting here will get this solved since 3+ calls to Verizon customer service as well as a call to DirecTV can't seem to fix the problem.
Background: A pending order is showing on our account. Verizon customer service has traced it to two DirecTV orders, placed in September that WERE NOT AUTHORIZED by us. We have no idea where they came from or how they got there. These pending orders have caused us to continue to be billed for premium services we canceled (Sports Pass) and are prohibiting us from enrolling in Verizon Connections.
Current situation: I was given two master order numbers (by Verizon) and told they can't do anything, I needed to contact DirecTV. Upon calling DirecTV and being transferred to no less than 4 departments, I was repeatedly told "there's no order number tied or your name" (of course, I didn't place one) or that the order numbers Verizon provided were invalid.
I've now been billed for Sports Pass for four extra months. I want these pending orders CANCELLED and can't seem to get anyone to do it. I didn't even place them in the first place so I'm really concerned about how they were attached to my account.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Can't restore to 1 partition after bootcamp

Ok so I ran into a weird problem, and after searching for a while I can't seem to find a solution.
Can't find anyone else who has had the same problem either.
I'm currently running a 2012 RMBP. I had bootcamp installed running Windows 7.
Today I wanted to remove the Bootcamp partition to free up some space on my HD.
So I went to Bootcamp Utility and selected the option to restore Mac to 1 partition and remove bootcamp
After a while it gives me an error message, something like "cannot remove bootcamp partition or restore mac to single partition"
Ok...
But not the bootcamp partition is gone from the bootcamp utility. It's also gone from Disk utility and the Finder.
But the space that the partition was occupying (about 20+ gigs) did not change.
So it's like it's still there but I cannot erase it or get that space back for some reason.
I've tried everything. I tried rebooting using CMD+R and going to disk utilities from there also. But the bootcamp partition
doesn't show up at all. But the space it was taking is still there.
Also in Disk Utility I cannot "erase free space", it's greyed out. I can't do anything. It's like the bootcamp partition is gone, but
the space is still being taken up. So it was never really removed.
I don't know what else to do. Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?

I encountered the same, or very similar problem with my 2012 15" rMBP. Upon trying to uninstall Windows 7 and its associated 60GB Partition via Boot Camp Assistant (BCA), some sort of error (dialog disappeared too quickly to recall specifics) apparently prevented completetion. During my second attempt, the process appeared to stall at about 25-30% completion. After the "progress bar" hadn't moved for 10 minutes, I quit BCA.
My third attempt ended at the second BCA screen, as the initial three options (for installing Windows) were again available. I thought perhaps I had actually erased the Windows Partition, but Disk Utility still displayed an unnamed 60GB Partition. Unfortunately, resizing my boot volume to 768GB triggered a file system verification error, as did Mende1's thoughtful solution.
Finally, after highlighting my SSD (not my boot volume Partition) and selecting "Verify Disk", the "Repair disk in Recovery Mode" error suspended Verification. After rebooting in Recovery Mode (command + R after chime), repairing the drive in Disk Utility did just that, and I was able to simply resize my boot volume Partition, removing the empty partition. I guess BCA had uninstalled Windows 7, but failed to remove the partition.
Sorry for the longwinded post, but since the OP's solution didn't work for me, I thought I would share the process that worked for me.
