I was using the partition as a windows facility. I no longer want this and wish to reallocate the 22gb to my Macs use

    if you've tried and cannot remove the partition with boot camp assistant, you'll have to open disk utility and reformat the partition there - choose mac journaled and then try to combine this partition back into your existing Mac partition

    Hello Negaz
    When you uninstalled iTunes, did you uninstall it by using the article below or just uninstalled iTunes? The best practice is to remove not only iTunes, but also other associating software in the order that the first article give. If that does not work, then check out the second article for more troubleshooting options for connecting your iPhone to your computer.

  • My Windows7 PC just crashed.  I have the files backed up online with Carbonite.  I want to buy a Mac I book.  Carbonite says it cannot download pc files to a Mac.  Is there a solution?

    My Windows7 PC crashed and I have the files backed up online with Carbonite.  I want to buy a Mac I book.  Carbonite says it cannot download pc files to a Mac.  Is there a solution?

    Brilliant, that clears things up - there is a single
    audio in that is next to the PC in so I guess I need
    one of the single cables you have mentioned,
    hopefully the Apple Store can point me in the right
    direction when I go in to buy my Mini.
    If the TV has a single minijack-type audio input, then the cable you need is a very standard one that can be found almost anywhere that cables for audio/home theatre systems are sold. In the old days it would be easy to point you towards the nearest Tandy, but as I understand it they're now gone. However, even supermarkets such as Tesco are likely to have something this basic!
    No doubt Apple will release an Intel Core 2 Duo
    version the day after I pick it up.
    There's no doubt that at some point Apple will revise the range and make new mini's faster or more powerful - and it may be that it happens next week at the Macworld Expo. I'd bet there are a few people holding on for a few days to see if new minis are announced there, and you might want to do the same if it's of concern, but the existing models are plenty powerful, and more than enough for most user's needs.
    Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.
    You are most welcome - and please come back and post again if you have any further questions or any problems once you've got your system!

  • I when try to remove windows 7 from Macbookpro 13, I dont see any option such as Create or remove a windows partition on bootcamp assistant.

    My Mac Book Pro 13 inch late 2010. I tried to remove windows7 partition by using boot camp assistant. But I couldn't see any options for create or revome when I opened the bootcamp.  So finally i deleted by using disk utility function.
    This time I don't know how to make repartition.

    should perhaps have waited? yes.
    So now you can't or find out why and are left with repair the drive in Disk Utility from OS X DVD, or even restore (and wipe drive) if you cannot stretch and expand the HFS back to full drive.
    Clone the Mac partition - Disk Utility - Restore tab both was with erase
    Target <=> Destination
    You should of course have a backup even if TimeMachine, but something you can restore the system... because things do happen.

  • How do i remove a bootcamp partition without bootcamp assistant?

    I incorrectly removed the bootcamp partition via disk utility rather than on the bootcamp assistant. Now my mac boots into the deleted partition. To avoid i press the option key during start up and select my Macintosh HD. How do i now remove this partition? There is no option in bootcamp as bootcamp thinks its partition is deleted.

    Try going into the system preferences and then go to "Startup Disk" and choose the main hard drive to boot up into. This way, instead of booting into the deleted partition you can tell the computer to boot into your main hard drive.

  • I get an error message saying, "An error occurred while restoring the disk to a single partition." when I try to use Boot Camp Assistant to remove my Windows partition.

    i don't know how to do

    There is a forum for Boot Camp. This is not the forum for the notebook users.
    You should always always have backup that you can use to restore your system incase of a problem.
    Try booting into Lion Recoverey or from your OS X DVD and choose Disk Utility from Utility menu and repair the disk; try to remove with DU instead of BCA.
