I recently deleted a partition on my mac that was intended to install windows. Now it is just blank space. I attempt to resize my Macintosh HD partition to cover entire hard drive space and hit apply but nothing happens (disk utility). Any ideas?
I have a few problems...
I wanted to make a partition to install windows, I tried to use bootcamp 5 where it wanted to partition and install windows at the same time. I do not have a cd of windows but instead had it on a flash drive. Bootcamp couldn't find it. Instead I was reading forums and found that there was another way to install windows by partioning your harddrive using the disk utility, downloading the bootcamp drivers, and installing rEFIt (an app that when starting the compouter a menu would come up to boot windows from the flashdrive). I try that and the windows install screen gets me to the point where I pick a partition. I attempt to pick the partitioned drive but a message comes up telling me that "this is of the GPT partition style" and windows cannot be installed on the drive.
So now I went back to disk utility and deleted the partition but there is still blank space. I wanted to retry and install windows through bootcamp (somehow) but a message comes up that there cannot be any partitions or that a partition must be created using bootcamp. SO i keep trying to drag the partition over the blank space and hit apply but nothing happens.
By the way I was trying to install windows 8 pro, some forums would say that you cant install win8 however I found others that said you could. How do I fix my partition and how do I use bootcamp to install windows (preferrably 8)?
Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

I am trying to share selected photos from my Mac to my I Pad.I went into I-Tunes and followed the instructions and am fine until it says to hit apply....which I do and nothing happens. I can't seem to highlight the I Pad "device" logo on the (left side of the I-Tunes) list to be able to share the photos. (I still want to keep them in my Mac, also). At the bottom of the instructions to accomplish this it says Universal Access...should I click on that? And what is it? Should I be selecting synch thru wi-fi?
Eject the iPad if necessary, quit iTunes and restart your Mac.
Connect the iPad to your Mac with the cable and launch iTunes. Now see if you can click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes. If you can, go into the photos tab of iTunes in the window on the right and make sure that the Sync Photos heading is checked. Then select the folder form which you want to sync photos - maybe iPhoto on your Mac? Then select all of the albums, events, faces - however you have them set up - then click on Apply. See if that works.
The photos will still be on your Mac after you sync. Do not click on Universal Access - you don't need that to sync.
Here is a very helpful Apple support article that you can read as well.

You can deal with WiFi sync later.

External hard drive suddenly won't mount, but shows in Disk Utility.
Running OS 10.6.8... Disk Utility sees it and there's no issues when verified or repaired. The partition is grayed out and won't mount through Disk Utility. I've also tried mounting via Terminal, but same result. I've connected other drives, so I know it's not the wires or ports. When I turn the power on, it spins up and seems to be working properly. I don't have another mac to test it on. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I can't reach recovery system when I reboot- I press 'command' and 'r' quickly, but nothing happens, the progress bar begins to load... Any thoughts? It gets about halfway through loading and then stops, no mouse, no nothing. I think I'll be able to move past it if I can reach the Recovery options.
Thanks!If you are really sure that it's impossible to click in Recovery mode, then something is wrong with the machine.

my i tunes software can not detect my i pod, I check the cable, I close my i pod and I relight, but nothing happens.
What should I do?Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Got my ipad mini. It works perfectly fine until I updated to ios 6.0.2. Now I can't connect to wifi. I've tried every solutions offered in every forums and internet sites but nothing happened. Still ipad cannot connect to wifi. HELP!!!
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I haven't recieved the code for gift my dad bought me? We have tried to resend the gift 3 times, but nothing happens! Do any of you know what to do?
Turns out my son had a mail filter on and had redirected the email to another folder, hence decline all knowledge of it! I got the invoice as one transaction the following morning. All OK.
Suggest you check to ensure the email address is valid and being sent to the right folder. Also check your invoice the following day as it will confirm the address you sent the gift to. -
just brought a new iphone its instructing me to sync with itunes, i connect it to my computer computer reacts but nothing happens on the phone or itunes, help before I break my laptop and phone, rage!
First, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer (11.x). If you connect the phone to a USB port directly on your computer (NOT to a USB hub) and it still doesn't appear in iTunes you need to troubleshoot iTunes.

Since I installed Mountain Lion, my iMac has shut down after 15-20 minutes. I have adjusted screen saver, shut down time, and sleep after. Nothing seems to help, any ideas?
As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

I just delete a partition on my drive and wanted to 1 either enlarge my original partition to cover the entire space, or 2 create a new partition in the free space. The problem is when I attempt to drag down the Macintosh HD partition and hit apply nothing happens. When i try to partition the free space (80 gigs) I hit apply and the new partition is only 200 mb with the 79 gigs still free space... HELP PLEASE.
Ah...so you've now learned why it's best not to change your mind after partitioning the bootup volume.
As far as I know, there's no "built-in" way to recover the free space after deleting a partition.
You're probably looking at third party software to accomplish what you're looking for. Here's one:

I can't speak to how well it works....I've never used it. But, according to the site, it will do what you need it to do.
I hope this helps.
