If I had mistakenly dragged my Windows Volume into the trash to get rid of it and go back to one OS volume, Is that 100 plus gb available space lost forever?

I really messed up, I am just wondering if what I have done is okay< I really thought I could remove a Partition by dragging in to trash and automatically my memory would be reallocated to my MacHD volume. Is all hope lost for the 111 GB of disk space I have avaiable? I am running multiple CGI software and my Macbook is now telling me I have run out of available disk space on my HD. even though it says I have 111 GB free. Please help? I would be happy if I can get away with a system's boot. I have back ups.
Which brings me to my other question, if i use my back up will it return my fresh system's boot to the same way I had it when I backed up last: meaning Partitioned still?
If you could help me, I would be so greatful.

drag to trash just unmounts it.
hopefully you know and have used your backups and tested that it will restore.
the way you remove windows is from Boot Camp Assistant, same program you used to partition space.
With Paragon CampTuneX $20 you can resize space between the two.
There are erase and restore of a volume or of entire hard drive. Up to you what you want but yes.

When I try to drag an item into the trash, I get message that Finder wants to make changes; enter password

When I try to drag anything into the trash the message : Finder wants to make changes; enter your password. But I cannot trash the document/folder, etc. I can eject a disk/flash drive etc by dragging to the trash.

Choose your Home folder "Get Info" (command-i) and be sure you have "read & write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. Check under "General" section to be sure it isn't locked. If that is correct, launch Applications/Utilities/Terminal and at the prompt copy & paste this command…
mkdir ~/.Trash
Press return.
If you get a message that the folder already exists, copy & paste these commands...
sudo chown $UID ~/ .Trash
Press return.
Enter your admin password (it will be invisible)
Press return.Then enter
chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
Press return. Log out and back in, or restart.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.

How easy is it to plug a windows laptop into the ethernet port of a Time Capsule and for it to get an internet connection?

I use Time Capsule to distrubute wifi thoughout my home. I have an office laptop (windows) that my company's IT dept won't install a wireless card in (for security reasons????). Can I get an intenet connection to the laptop if I connect it to an ethernet port on the back of the TC?

Can I get an intenet connection to the laptop if I connect it to an ethernet port on the back of the TC?
If you can get an Internet connection when you test using your iMac's Ethernet port, then you know that the Ethernet port is working on the TC and the Ethernet cable is also working.
You should be able to get a connection on any other computer in the same way.
If you cannot get an Internet connection on the PC with the same hook up, then you will need to do some troubleshooting on the PC....or call the IT guys at the company to find out what type of block they may have on the PC.

Drag Dvd Studio into the trash can

I advise everyone here to drag DVD Studio Pro into the trash can. After you do that, burn all your needed dvd files to a blank dvd and import them into a program called DVD Studio Lab for the PC. Yea, I know what you are thinking. NOT A PC!!
Let me tell you all something. This program is THE ONLY program that the PC version is 10x better. Dvd Studio Pro offers an easier interface along with all the features of all professional dvds.
I have never in my life been so dissatisfied with a program by Mac until now. I love Final Cut, Soundtrack, Motion, Audio Hijack, etc. They all are the best when it comes down to Video, Sound and Special effects. But please do not waste your time dloading or buying DVD Studio. You will be sorry.

You're entitled to your opinion, thunderkat. Mine is different.
I own DVDLab Pro and DVDSP (as well as a range of other authoring tools). DVD Lab is indeed a very good product and has some amazing features, but it isn't available on a Mac (I'm not including dual boot stuff using Boot Camp). It also has a far harder to understand interface (IMO) which makes it harder to learn and use. As with any software there is a new set of language and terminologies to understand but once past that the software is certainly pretty good to use. Having used DVD Lab for a while I am familiar with what it can do, but I still prefer the ease of use of DVDSP.
Additionally, this is a mac forum, for mac software and mac users. Simply telling people to ditch a piece of software because there is something better available isn't partiularly useful, and possibly edges into Troll territory. It appears to me that you have had a poor experience with DVDSP, but your experience isn't definitive - there are plenty of folk who are more than able to use DVDSP and competent enough to advise others about what works and what doesn't.
But just so you know - using DVDLab Pro still means you are using an abstraction layer app. Sure, the layer isn't nearly as 'deep' as DVDSPs, and with some judicious editing with DVDAfterEdit you can really make discs that fly along.... but you can also do that from the comfort of a Mac OS.
Let's not get carried away with a 'this product is far better than yours' kind of thread. This forum is focussed on using DVDSP and whilst it's sometimes good to raise one's head above the parapet and see the rest of the field around you, it isn't going to get much favour if you simply open your very first post with an inflammatory remark abouit deleting software just because you are disatisfied with it.
Why not explain what your needs are and maybe someone will be good enough to enter into some dialogue with you to see if there is a way to help you overcome your problems with DVDSP.

I need help on my MacBook Pro. Recently I've deleted another partition of my disk from the disk utility and I found out that my disk capacity wasn't get into the normal one which is 750GB. Meanwhile I installed window 7 into the partition disk.

I need help on restoring my disk capacity back to normal. I installed window 7 into the partition disk through bootcamp and I deleted it from disk utility. After I erase the partition disk,I get my capacity to 499GB but not 750GB. Do I need to reinstall my MacBook or something to do with the restoring?

You shouldn't do it. You have to erase the Windows volume with Boot Camp Assistant, so it will restore the space onto the OS X volume and that volume will have 750 GB.
As you did it with Disk Utility, you have to resize your OS X partition manually:
1. Open Disk Utility, select your hard disk at the top of the sidebar, and go to Partition tab.
2. You will see a bar with Macintosh HD. You have to click it at the bottom right corner and drag it to the end of the bar, so Macintosh HD will use all the space of the hard drive, and press Apply.
3. Close Disk Utility and your OS X partition will have 750 GB

Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash. How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder? I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash. How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder? I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password. I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes. Please help.

When i plugged my ipod into the computer it started to make buzzing and screeching noises. It became hot so i removed it and then the screen froze while it continued to make these noises. I have never had anything like this happen. (never gotten it wet or had it exposed to extreme temperatures) It is also unresponsive to any buttons on the ipod and it didn't show up when i plugged it into my computer. What do I do? Also if it is unfixable could i get a free one from apple?

When i restart comp 2 windows open automatically, how do i get rid of this?

Check your System Preferences to see what items you might have set to Startup when the computer is started.
System Preferences > Users and Groups > Select your User Name > Click on Login Items > Select any item you do not want to startup automatically > click on the Minus sign in the bottom left corner.
If the items that seem to open automatically are windows that you had open before shutting down the iMac or before selecting Restart those windows will open again when the computer starts.

If you never backed up your phone to iTunes and never backed it up to iCloud all of your content is gone forever.

Don't you mean Photos or are you still using iPhoto with 10.10.3?
Normally one gets the preview version of a photo or the edited version if it's been edited when dragging from a thumbnail to the Desktop. Don't know how you would have gotten small thumbnail versions.
