Macbook circa 2010 w 2 Systems installed - 1 incomplete

Hello,
Looks like I squeezed the gist of the problem into the subject line. This is my wifes computer so information is limited on 'what happened'. I do not know how the second system got on the HDD, but it is incomplete and is somehow booted to occassionally. When it's the boot drive there are numerous issues due to the incomplete nature of it. Holding the 'R' key on start up or using system preferences > start up disc both work for booting to the correct disc.
It just occurred to me that perhaps the HD is partioned - hmmm - would Disk Utility tell me / show me whether or not the HD was partioned? Guessing it must be in order to have two systems installed. I suppose in this case the HD would require a full erase to rid it of the partial system?
I feel like I'm answering my own question, but having the pro's opinion is always a good idea.
The question is how can I remove the offending disc (system)?

Guess I'll have to take a closer look at 'just deleting' a partition - didn't know you could do it. Assuming if the one is deleted then it's space is absorbed into the remaining partition?
I'm using CCC to transfer to a network volume - used to be my Time Machine backup but Apple and Buffalo technologies diverged and things are no longer compatible for TM - now I just afp to it and use CCC for occassional stuff like this.
I've always been 'quirky' about erasing when things don't resolve with permission repair or Applejack or even Disk Warrior. The thinking is that erasing will get the bug where ever it is.
P.S. Managed to delete the one partition (150GB) but the remaining (100GB) can't be enlarged or so it seems.

  • I have a Macbook Pro with no operating system installed

    I do not know the model number but I think it is this:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-2 .8-aluminum-15-late-2008-unibody-specs.html
    It has an Intel Core 2 Duo running at 2.8 GHz.  4GB of memory and 320GB HD.  It has a 15 inch screen.
    Can anyone confirm the model number and tell me what operating system I should install on it?
    I would like to get Mavericks on there but I'm unclear of the steps to do it.  Should I go to an Apple store and have them do it (will they even do it)?
    Or should I create a USB and do it myself?  I only have a Windows and Linux system available to make the USB though I could ask a friend with a MAC to do it.

    The official 10.5 installer should work, if it is not system specific.   Look to make sure your official, is retail, as this tip explains.  You have sufficient memory, you could install 10.6 from the currently sold 10.6 retail directly.  So unless you are sure your applications are not 10.6 compatible, that might be the best option.

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, open the Mac App Store, and try purchasing Mountain Lion. If you get told it's incompatible, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

    I had to replace the hard drive in my old MacBook. I replaced it. Installed OSX10.6. Then using the system software I reinstalled data from my Time Machine backup. On completion it asked for my password. It is not accepted. I am locked out how I overcome this?
    I was already using 10.7. But only had the disc for 10.6.

    Sorry I am new to this. Am I in the right area? I am using my iPhone to make contact. I am worried.

  • How can I get a better driver for my 1394b Hostcontroller in my Macbook pro 2010 to solve the problem, that it is too slow under Windows 7 installed with bootcamp ?

    Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
    Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

  • MacBook Pro 2010: Flashing folder w/? on not responding to startup keys & I'm trying to install a new hard drive, can anyone help?

    MacBook Pro 2010: Flashing folder w/? on not responding to startup keys & I'm trying to install a new hard drive, can anyone help?

    Thanks. It started up com that disk but when I went to install it had an error message (didn't get to write out what it said). So I attempted to restore from time machine but it said there was no space, even though it's a new (replacement under warranty) HGST 1TB HD,  so I did what  I think was right and tried to partition the disk but it now says 'Partition faild...POSIX report...cannot allocate memory'.  im not sure what to do, and I'm trying to remember how the previous hd was installed and formatted for use but that was over a year ago now. Should have erased the hd first or something?

  • Hi I've just bought a Macbook pro (2010) I bought it as I needed an older one running snow leopard. Its running on 10.6.4 but I need it with 10.6.1 or 10.6.2, does anyone know if I can install 10.6.1 or 2 on my Macbook??????

    Hi I've just bought a Macbook pro (2010) I bought it as I needed an older one running snow leopard. Its running on 10.6.4 but I need it with 10.6.1 or 10.6.2, does anyone know if I can install 10.6.1 or 2 on my Macbook??????
    This is because I have a copy of Protools I want to run on it and it has to be 10.6.1 or 10.6.2
    Help I'm desperate!!

    The 2010 MBPs came installed with either 10.6.3, or 10.6.4 later in their lifespan. Earlier versions of the OS may not have the correct drivers for the Mac's hardware.
    Ultimately, you might be better off upgrading your copy of Pro Tools, or updating the Mac to Yosemite and running Logic Pro X.

  • Can I put OS X Yosemite on my 2010 macbook pro with current operating system 10.6.8?

    Can I put OS X Yosemite on my 2010 macbook pro with current operating system OS X10.6.8?  I just bought a new printer and it requires minimum 10.7

    You cannot get Mavericks because it has been replaced by Yosemite. Your machine will work just fine with Yosemite, but you don't have to upgrade if you prefer not to.
    You should always maintain a backup. Hard drives fail, data are lost. A backup is a security blanket for your data.
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
         used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
         requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
         drive being backed up.
    3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
         capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
      1. Cool Drives
      2. OWC
      3. WiebeTech
      4. Firewire Direct
      5. California Drives
      6. NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • Mid-2010 MacBook reset factory w/ Snow Leopard Install DVD?

    I will be receiving a MacBook mid 2010 MC516LL/A soon. I would like to reset it to factory and then install Yosemite.
    I have an Install DVD 10.6.3 Snow Leopard. Will this allow me to reset the MacBook with a clean install, or do I need to get the original install DVD for that specific model?
    I assume that I will need to download the 10.6.8 updater Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1   to get access to the App store upgrades to eventually get to Yosemite.
    thanks!

    First, do you have a backup? If so then you can just boot from your Snow Leopard disc, re-initialize the hard drive and install SL anew, then restore from an older backup (assuming you have one?).
    Clinton
    P.S. You might be able to install without wiping your hard drive. To see, just use your SL disc and try to reinstall. I don't know - I've only gone back-in-time with TM since getting a new Mac with Lion installed.

  • My laptop macbook pro 2010 froze while i was installing its latest update what should i do ?

    My laptop macbook pro 2010 froze while i was installing its latest update what should i do ?

    Shutdown then restart if possible. If you do restart OK, then try the update again after doing this:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • Macbook late 2010 13" won't charge?! Please help!

    Ok so my mom gave me her old Macbook (late 2010) 13" laptop after it stopped working for her. She claims she didn't drop it but there is a large hunk of plastic missing around the magsafe port and it will no longer charge and the DvD drive doesn't work either (only makes a very annoying sound upon boot or waking). I was looking into the usual charge cycles for this particular battery a while ago and I believe it was around 300 which I was about 50 over, so I went and bought a brand new Apple brand battery and installed it only to find that it, like the other battery, still won't charge. My Macbook recognizes it is there but just won't charge. It says that this battery only has one charge cycle which indicates that it is indeed brand new. The battery icon on my top bar used to say service battery until I replaced it, now it only says "Not Charging". Here are my battery specs and if you need any info to help me, PLEASE ASK. Someone please help me save this wonderful computer....

    A brand new battery would require a full charge in order to be used;
    so you are lucky, in that the new battery had enough power already.
    So that is not an indicator of much, other than the MagSafe Board
    in the computer itself may have sustained damages due to ???
    and would need to be checked over by an authorized tech or if you
    are near an Apple Store with Genius bar, call ahead for appointment
    to have a diagnostic test done and take along the MagSafe adapter
    so they can see if that is part of the problem.
    Of course, an optical drive issue could be part of a diagnostic check.
    If you are in the US or Canada, the retail Apple Store offers a free
    service of a diagnostic, even though the computer is no longer
    covered by an AppleCare plan. So that is worth taking a drive...
    Check the details here, and follow them to see if you can make it go:

    Are the contacts on both the MagSafe adapter and MagSafe port
    clean, or do they have an odd color or debris in/on them? It is
    possible to clean them of debris, but don't use watery stuff. A
    tool such as a wooden toothpick could be used to see if anything
    on there could be rubbed off or out of the contact areas.

    i have a macbook circa 2007 and am trying to update my software and it says its up to date but it only has mac os x 10.5.8. please help?

    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If so Contact Apple in your Country to Purchase a Snow Leopard Disc...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    In the US...
    1-800-MY-APPLE or 1-800-676-2775
    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • MAcBook Pro (2010) i7 17" Strange problem (filesystem crash)

    About month ago I changed my 1 year old MBP 2009 to MacBook Pro 2010 17" i7 one. I moved SSD (Patriot KOI 256GB) and 8GB of RAM to new device. I have noticed strange problem - sometimes filesystem crashes. When application ask to reboot system (because of reboot or instalation) sometimes system refuse to start - it shows progress bar similar to the one shown when going back from deep sleep. Or I can hear bell (standard one) but after this system powers off. The only way to have system working back is to use Disc Warrior to repair it because Disk Utility from install DVD can't repair filesystem and suggest to reinstall it and take data from backup.
    I have no such problems with previous device. It happens even on fresh system for example just after installing Norton Internet Security (when installer asked for permission to reboot). I have no sudden hangs, no other problems at all.
    Any suggestions?
    During month it happens about 10 times. I even prepared my rescue USB with installed system and Disk Warrior.
    Hardware test goes without problems. SMART status of drive is ok.

    You can ignore the advice of nearly all the long-time contributors to these Discussions and keep Norton utilities on your Mac, but I guarantee that every time you mention Norton anything in these forums, you will be advised to remove it completely. Perhaps it isn't responsible for your present problem, but I'm certainly not convinced of that, and because Norton software is a well-known cause of trouble in OS X, I suspect many other people reading this thread won't be convinced either.
    When you reinstalled the OS on your new machine, did you do so from the DVDs that came with it? Did you completely erase the hard drive?

  • Kernal Panic Help with Macbook Pro 2010

    Hello fellow Kernal Panic enthusiasts.
    I've had random panics more frequently on a Macbook Pro 2010. I've tried correcting permissions, resetting PRAM etc. It seem to happen at random, sometimes with flash (which has been disabled by default) in Chrome. Other occasions its completely random when using the finder, etc. Chrome crashes frequently, and again at random. Same happens for Firefox and Safari – it seems to be whichever I am using most frequently There's no way to repeat the panic.
    Thank you for the help/suggestions in advance.

    Pace is a copy protection software for some third party program your running, it's for Snow Leopard and this issue has appeared here before and once today even.
    Quark Inc was here about their driver, so check them for a update.
    Take note of the softwares above, your going to be reinstalling some of them from fresh sources and updating.
    Run through the Steps 1-8 here and see if that solves your problem.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Disable all at login/boot softwares.
    Yes some third party software mentioned above is not going to work as #8 Reinstall Just OS X will kick their parts out of OS X itself (but not out of Applications), but what you do is reinstall them one at a time, when it's been updated and verified to work with your OS X verison. (uninstall using the developers program or instructions, do not use AppDelete type software)
    Take your time and if problems come back you know it's the last one installed is at fault.
    The object with #1-8 is to make sure machine and OS X is fine, then decide from there what third party software is at fault.
    If your problems continue despite the above software not being run or installed, then proceed with the further Steps #9-16 in the hunt for the real cause.
    Chrome has been known to cause problems around here, it runs a root level updater for all Google software, it's hard to remove and one has to not use any Google software to prevent it being reinstalled.
    Good luck in your process of elimination.

  • Wipe macbook air 2010 to sell.

    I am selling my daughter's MacBook Air 2010 and need to wipe it clean, de-identify it, or whatever needs to be done.  I have another MS Office license I can reload on it afterwards, but I no longer have the any of the start up software/usb/manual etc.  How do I do this, and will the operating system be lost?

    Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
    1. Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
    2. Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
    3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
    4. If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
    5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
    6. If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
    7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the one remaining data partition with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by starting up in Internet Recovery mode (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
    If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer to the buyer.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
    The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either. The buyer will have to purchase them.
    Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")
