Here is information on "partitioning" ...
Use Disk Utility to partition a disk into sections, or "volumes," each of which works like a separate disk. You might want to partition a disk so that you can have different versions of the Mac OS, or organize your information in a logical manner.
Partitioning a disk erases all the files on the disk. If you have any files on the disk you want to save, be sure to make a copy of them on another disk before you partition the disk.
You cannot partition the disk that you started up from. If you want to partition the startup disk, you must restart your computer using your Mac OS X Install disc, as described below. Because partitioning will erase your hard drive, you should back up your hard disk before proceeding.
To learn more about using Disk Utility, open Disk Utility, in the Applications/Utilities folder, and choose Help > Disk Utility Help.
To partition your startup disk:
Insert the Mac OS X Install disc and restart the computer.
When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
When the Installer appears, choose Utilities > Disk Utility.
Select your disk from the list, and click Partition.
Select how you want to partition the disk and any options you want, then click the Partition button at the bottom of the window.
Quit Disk Utility.
When the Installer opens again, you can install Mac OS X on one of the partitions.
If you want to use another disk as the start-up disk, choose Utilities > Startup Disk and choose it.
Also, Disk Utility can tell you exactly how much available drive space you have. Launch DU, in the panel on the left select MacintoshHD. (Don't select the drive manufacture name above it).. now, look at the botom right side of that window where it says; Capacity - Available.
Another quick way to check available hard drive space is to open any Finder window, look at the bottom of the window, it will have the information there.
And, click a clean spot on your Desktop, you'll see Finder in the Menu. Then click View/Show View Options. When the pane opens, click "Show Item Info".
Now look over at your Hard Drive icon, under it will be that information all the time. Easy way to keep an eye on it.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • The glass on my iPhone 5 is missing and now my camera won't focus does it have anything to do with the glass missing?!

    The glass on my iPhone 5 is missing and now my camera won't focus does it have anything to do with the glass missing?! Would buying a iPhone extension lens like the ones you just clip on the phone help?

    Wow seems like some physical damage to the iPhone whether this is a manufacturing defect or misuse it would need to be evaluated and determined at either an Apple Store or Service provider. And yes this is most likely causing the camera not to focus.

  • Help!  Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week, and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password.

    Help!  Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week and the shop didn't update it back to Mavricks which I had previously done...and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password entered. It just spins like I'm logging in and then goes back to the user log in screen.  I did the process where I restarted and pressed control S and created a new user and password, but once created same issue and can't get passed that screen.
    Super frustrated and any help is appreciated!

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Can somebody please explain how to format and then reinstall Mac lion10.7 without cd

    can somebody please explain how to format and then reinstall Mac lion10.7 without cd

    You will need either an Ethernet or Wifi Connection to the Internet - USB Mobile device is not supported.
    If you already have Lion installed you can boot to Recovery with Command R and use the Disk Utility to erase the Macintosh HD and then reinstall the OS from the Mac OS X Utilities.
    You will need the Apple Id used for purchase if the Mac did not ship with Lion installed originally.
    If you want to repartition the HDD you can use the Recovery Disk Assistant to make a recovery USB drive
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848
    As Always - Back up the Mac before erasing unless you are confident there is absolutely nothing on the mac that you might possibly need later.
    If the machine is a 2011 build or later you might be able to boot to Internet Recovery with Command Option R

  • I was able finally to delete unwanted text boxes in my document; however, now my second page is missing and there are several following pages in a language that appears to be Latin.  What sin have I committed and how do I atone to get my second page back?

    I was able finally to delete unwanted text boxes in my Pages document; howver, the result is that the 2nd page of my document is missing and there are now several following pages in a language that appears to be latin.  What sin have I committed and how do I atone?

    10 marks for recognising the Latin (sort of) that is the placeholder text in your template.
    You are using a Word Processing template. WP templates have content flowing from page to page. As one page fills up, a new one is created. If some of that text is deleted or displaced the pages retract.
    When you combine text, invisibles like word spaces, returns, tabs, page breaks etc with objects that have text wrap set, the mix can behave in an apparent odd fashion.
    Start with showing where everything is:
    Menu > View > Show Layout/Invisibles
    Start with getting rid of any excess returns you may have used to "position" things. Next cut and paste objects like textboxes, shapes, charts and tables "Inline" ie in as part of the text. If necessary also turn off text wrap on objects or minimise it so that doesn't push text completely out of the way.
    Insert Section breaks in the Text where you want fixed breaks in the layout these will provide separation between layout on different pages.
    Basically you need to clean up your layout or think about doing it another way.
    If there is a lot of layout, you will need to learn Pages methods for doing this in a WP template or do it in a Layout template where each page is individual and all objects are floating with no default text area.

  • My new tab page is missing and now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about. Help!!

    I use to have the grid of pinned webpages whenever I clicked on the X of a new tab page. Now it's gone. I figured out if I typed about:newtab in the Awesome bar it would restore the page, but not all the time. Now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about...and I don't want that. How can I get my pinned websites back on my New tab page?

    You can also use the Profile Manager to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    Then you can still revert to your current profile in case that is doesn't help.

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • New iMac email acting strange missing and flashing text

    Having a problem with mail,
    bought my new iMac and setup mailboxes. 
    all emaiil from comcast server was downloaded (more thaqn 35,000 mail messages)
    when browsing mail I noticed mail body text was not showing in the preview window, but the message showed in the list.
    I could see the message if I doubleclicked on it and opened it.
    sometimes the mail text and images would be flashing and sometimes missing, other times present.
    I called Apple support and went through several steps to try and zero in on the problem.
    we reset and reindexed.
    we created a copy of the mail folder on the desktop
    Created a new mailbox and mail seemed to work OK, until the mail folder was imported into the new mailbox, then I had the same weird problem.
    somehow, when I went back to my original mailbox, there were none of the old mail items in the mailbox and they were all missing from the mail server. 
    All the 35,000 emails were gone.  It looks like the setting in the new mailbox must have been set to delete emails from the server (maybe as a default)
    after a few weeks, the mailbox continued to accumulate emails and I have not seen that problem again.
    It appears that there was some mail buffer in the new iMac that got overloaded or exceeded capacity and couldn't handle the 35,000 emails.
    But, I need to recover those deleted emails.
    Has anyone found the cause for this erratic behavior whith large mail folders?
    I still have that old mail folder
    how can I restore it and recover those emails, without erasing what I now have (new emails) from the server?
    is there a limit on the number of emails on the iMac?  my old Mac dual G5 system didn't have this problem.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    You could try importing the mailboxes (File ▹ Import Mailboxes) from the old Mail folder, at the risk of possibly corrupting the database again. There is no fixed limit on the number of messages, and the number you had is not unusual. It's corrupt messages that cause problems.

  • Pages gone missing and items un-editable  Error (WWS-32100) & (WWS-20000)

    Hi,
    We have Oracle Portal 9.4 installed and have members of staff editing items and creating pages and web sites.
    This morning we have suddenly developed the following error;
    An unexpected error has occurred (WWS-32100) Error (WWS-20000) An unexpected error has occurred (WWS-32100)
    This error occurred when someone was editing a page and when someone was editing an item. The item was then unavailable for an undetermined length of time.
    Both problems went away without work being done on Portal or any rebooting?
    The page and items are now working fine as if there was never problem? Can anyone explain what the problem is?
    Thanks,
    Karl

    Hero,
    You may want to try the following SQL to recreate your intermedia index manually:
    1) Create the indexes using the following command in sqlplus while logged into the portal schema:
    set serverout on
    declare
    l_message varchar2(2000);
    begin
    wwv_context.createindex(p_language => 'us', p_message => l_message);
    dbms_output.put_line(l_message);
    end;
    null
