If I have the correct Recovery Media, can I delete the 7 Gb recovery partition on my Aspire Switch?

I have made a bootable usb flash drive and created a disk image. I also bought the recovery usb from Acer. I would like to gain the 7 Gb space taken up by te recovery partition. Can I delete this partition and expand the C: drive?

jdangelotx,
No, you would not be able to as this system uses WIMBOOT.

    Hello aweirandyski.1975,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device.  You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

    I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

    Both accounts are completely independent from each other. In order to use the space that you have purchased for your secondary account, you must change it to become your primary account. Yes, as you said, services like photo stream only work with the primary account. Unfortunately, there is no comfortable way to just transfer data from one account to another one, but you can do it via a third party application e.g. via Dropbox: e.g. for photos: photos stored with your current primary account > manual transfer to dropbox > after you made your secondary account to the primary account,  transfer the photos back to your new primary account etc.

  • I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

  • I have an iPad2 and I can't delete some apps I downloaded that I don't want.  I can get the apps lto wiggle, but there is no X in the upper left corner for deletion.  Any help is much appreciated.

    I have an iPad2 and I can't delete some apps I was downloading but froze.  I can get the apps to wiggle, but there is no X in the upper left corner for deletion. I have tried re-setting and didn't work. Help will be appreciated.

    See if anything here helps.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • HT4859 photo's and video is taken up most of the room on my ipad they have been backed up.  Can I delete and they still will be in icloud?

    photo's and video is taken up most of the room on my ipad they have been backed up.  Can I delete and they still will be in icloud

    Don't use iCloud to back up your photos or you will lose them.  Instead, import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You can then delete them from your iPad if you wish to free up space.

  • I have tried everything, but I can't delete my iCloud account without the password.

    I just downloaded iOS7. I have it set up and everything. I changed my Apple ID email address a couple of months ago. The only thing is that on this iPod, iCloud has the old Apple ID. And every time I go into Settings > iCloud > Delete Account, it asks me for the password of the old Apple ID. And since that Apple ID doesn't exist anymore, I can't put the password. And since it won't take the password, I can't sign in to iCloud. Since I can't sign in to iCloud, I can't delete the account to enter the new email address.  I really need help here

    I FOUND THE SOLUTION!
    I had the same exact problem. I had my old apple ID connected to a school email which did not exist anymore. My ipad (ICloud) was prompting me to put the password in for that ID and I could not delete it from my ipad because the "Find My Ipad" was turned on, once again prompting for password. I called apple and they said this Apple no longer exists and is not in there system, which I knew already. After hours on the phone nobody could help me. Try this.
    -Go to create a new Apple ID and use the same email address as the old apple ID which is locked in on your ipad
    -Create a new password and all that, it will say it send a verification link to your email, in my case my email no longer exists so I could not do this
    - I called Apple to explain this problem and I asked if they could verify it for me, which they did after I convinced them it was worth a try. The guy told me that the verification shouldnt matter and should still be able to login but he did it anyway. You can try skipping this step but if it doesn't work then go ahead.
    -Go to ICloud and click on your account, the email should be grayed out but it should allow you to change that password, put in the new password which you just created.
    -This allowed me to sign in to accept the new terms and conditions but it said "unable to conncet to server" so I just backed out and went to "Delete Account" and it worked!
    The whole idea is to re-create your old apple ID into Apple's system and then use that new password. The guy at Apple said tons of people called about this problem and nobody could solve it. I thanked him for helping me and he thanked me for helping him. I hope this helps you!

  • Once I have published & burnt my DVD can I delete the events in imovie?

    Hi Guys & Gals,
    I have just published and burnt my holiday movie through idvd and saved it to my external hard drive. Can I now go into Imovie and delete the events and projects that are in there as I wish to free up space?....
    WIll the movie as a whole be saved on my external drive or does it still require the clips from imovie?... This is obviously presuming that I will no be making any further edits on this movie...
    Any help gratefully received....

    ah... My "DVD" is three seperate projects so I guess I can't save the "DVD" as a whole but can save the three projects as seperate quicktime movies which means I can then delete the events and projects from Imovie?...

  • Lenovo S405 How To: Re-Install Windows 8 if you have lost your recovery partition

    To help some people out... I read some of you formatted your drive and now are stuck without the ability to restore Win 8 if you went to Win 7 before you knew there was an issue, or lost your recovery partition for any other reason. FYI, if you can get your hands on ANY Win 8 disk (doesn't matter if its Professional or the Regular version) and install it, your serial key for Win 8 is hardcoded into your motherboard BIOS. Therefore, if you have access to a disk, you can simply install and it will auto activate and install your pre installed key. No need to spend $90 or more if you don't have to.
    If you don't have an external DVD Drive, simply download the Win7 to USB tool from Microsoft (it will work for Win 8) and transfer the disk image to a USB thumb drive (from another PC of course). Then boot from the thumb drive to install. Note: You will have to go into the BIOS to turn OFF UEFI and allow it to boot and install from a thumb drive.
    In my experience, I had to turn off UEFI in the BIOS (Get to BIOS by pressing F2 at boot). By turn off, I mean place in "Legacy" mode. Then save and exit and allow to restart. Upon restart, enter the BIOS once again and you should now see your thumb drive appear on the list of bootable devices (the thumb drive has to be connected BEFORE booting into BIOS). Move the thumb drive up the list to be the first boot device, save and exit and you are in business.
    Also, if you have access to the MSDN, you can actually download the RTM version of Win 8 which once its installed will auto activate and install using your hard coded serial making it a legit, normal copy.
    I tried to write this as more of an overview and less of a "hand-holding" article for the purpose of quick reference. Any questions, please post. I will not provide links to any software mentioned in this article. Search engines are your friend.

    After changing from UEFI to Legacy mode the function keys (F2 or Fn + F2) are not working anymore. I can't access the BIOS anymore and boot from the USB. Any idea? Thanks
    All Ok now. Please ignore my previous comment

  • I have a folder that I can't delete (in "Properties" it shows a blank for "Location")

    In Thunderbird I have a sub-folder that I am unable to delete (or perform any other action on).
    Nor can I delete any folders higher up the tree that contains this folder.
    In "Properties" it is shown as having no "Location".
    I need to delete it as I believe that it is preventing me from making a backup of Thunderbird (using MozBackup).
    How can I remove this folder ?

    Thank you Gnospen and Zenos for your contributions.
    I could not repair the problem with the "Repair" function at any level of the tree.
    Eventually I decide to live with the problem and copied the profile folder contained in the "Username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles" Folder.
    I then copied that to the same location on my new PC (having first deleted the existing equivalent folder on there).
    I then edited "profiles.ini" to point at the copied-over profiles folder.
    I discovered that the sub-folder I had the problem with now had a location and I could access its contents too.
    A very useful (but unexpected) result !!!

  • Startup Disk full. I have external backup drive. Can I delete folders in My Lightroom photos?

    I am using Mac Intel OSX Lion. I received a screen message that stated my startup disk is full. I am positive this is due to my 10,000 or so photos (mostly RAW files) stored in My Lightroom photos folders. Since my photos are externally  backed up can I delete those 9000-10,000 photos in various folders of My Lightroom? And by doing this do I free up disk space in my computer's hard drive?
    I might also mention that photos created in LR5 are saved to folders in the Mac's Pictures area under "Favorites." So am I duplicating, i.e, doubling the file hogging capacity, because it is in Pictures and also in LR5. Any help is much appreciated.

    Jim,
    See my posted title: I backed up all 9000+ photos in 3 external hard drives. Two are full but the third still has a lot of capacity. All photos are saved in lossless .dng file. I don't have a problem going back to those external drive files if I want to do more post processing with the photos.  I fail to understand why my startup disk on the Mac is full as the great majority of file space taken up are from LR5 photos. I only have two or three Mac Applications: Swift Publisher and Quicken Essentials, both of which do not require huge hard disk space.
    By the way, those 9000+ RAW files are also stored in Pictures in the Mac. 9000 files each about 20Mb I calculate to 180Gb. Am I right?

  • Outlook 2010 Data files have reached maximum size and can't delete.

    This is the message I get whenever I try to send/rec mail.. it is also the message that I get when I try to delete any messages, whether from inbox, sent items, or deleted... just seems locked up. This is not enterprise or Exchange server this is from my
    wife's home office. I have been playing around with this for hours, and still get the same message and still dead in the water.. Please help! I am running windows 7home.
    I was attaching the photo.. but won't take it until verified. "The Outlook data file C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst has reached the maximum size. To redude the amount of data in the file, permanently delete some items that
    you no longer need. You could also consider using the new Outlook data file (.pst) introduced with Outlook 2003 that provides greater capacity for storing items and folders.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You can try compacting the data file:
    Go to File tab -> Account Settings -> Account Settings
    -> Data Files tab, double click on the data file -> Under
    General tab, click on the Compact Now button ->
    OK.
    This will reduce the size of your Outlook data file. Then you can test if any items can be deleted from the .pst file.
    More information about the size limit for both (.pst) and (.ost) files in Outlook, please refer to the kb below:

  • Installed lion os previous was snow leapard and now in launchpad I have 2 iPhoto icons, how can I delete inactive one?

    I had Snow Leapard and installed new lion os.  Now in launchpad I have 2 icons of iphoto. How can I delete inactive icon?

    Snow Leopard files were replaced by Mountain Lion files on install. Open Disk Utility and verfiy disk and repair if needed and also repair permissions. Then make sure all of your apps are compatible with Mountain Lion because incompatible apps can cause slow startup. Check all apps at www.roaringapps.com.
