Missing space after partitioning

When I was partitioning the hard drive to install Windows, the Disk Utility changed the size of the partition to all the space left.  I cancelled the partition, but now my hard drive is missing that space.  Is there a way to fix this without completely wiping my hard drive?

   Here's the screenshot of my partition.  I'm able to adjust the Macintosh HD partion to make it as small as the blue area, but that's as far as it goes.  Earlier today before partitioning, I had roughly 300 GB free, now I'm down to about 85 GB.

  • Hard drive missing space after boot camp got stocked on "Creating Partition"

    Hi guys, last night I was trying to install windows 7 in my computer for some gaming, the process with boot camp went well until it said "Creating Partition" there it got stocked for a good 2 hours, because of this I did a bit of research on what could happen if I would force quit it, I read that it might happen that if I restart the partition would be there or just nothing would have change but in my case none of those happened, my hard drive is keeping that space in blank without letting me use it, before trying boot camp I had 240 GB of free space and now after restart it I have 90 gb of free space, yes I tried to make the partition of 150 GB, so what should I do to repair this?, I verified the permissions on Disk Utility and I just got one weird message:
    Warnin SUID file "Library/CoreS" has been modified and will not be repaired
    But when I try to verify/repair I get this:
    or this:

    Reboot to your recovery partition and run disk utility from there, you can not repair the disk you are booted from.

  • Missing Hard Drive Space After Failed BC Partition

    Hello everyone,
    I was just trying to install Windows 7 on my iMac (Late 2013) using the Boot Camp Assistant, but the partition process froze, so I ended up quitting Boot Camp (I know, I know, bad idea).
    Now, I seem to be missing about a TB of hard disk space, even though the partition I was trying to create was only about 350 GB. My 3TB Fusion Drive is now showing 1.91 TB of space total. Also - probably related - everything is showing up as "Other", even though it used to be broken up into Audio/Movies/Photos, etc.
    I attempted to start into Recovery mode, repaired the disk permissions (there were few problems, if any) and repaired the disk itself (it said that the Mac was fine), and I've looked at Disk Utility both in and out of Recovery mode to see if there's missing space in the partition tab, but it looks like it's just not there.
    Strangely, here it recognizes that the disk is 3.12 TB, but I can't adjust the partition size, even in Recovery mode. I tried running Boot Camp again to see if I could just do a quick Windows partition (20 GB) and restore the space, but I get the error that the disk can't be partitioned. I tried doing fsck in Single User mode and logging in with Safe Mode (where I am now), just to see if either would fix the issue - but no luck.
    I do have Time Capsule (2TB) so my stuff is backed up, and fortunately my Mac seems to run fine in normal mode, but is there any way to reclaim the "lost" space, or do a system wipe just to get everything back where it should be? This is
    Let me know if I can provide any further information, and I appreciate your help!

    Problem solved! Ran Disk Utility not in recover mode again, and it identified that the logical size wasn't right. Repair Disk while logged in - and at the upper level "Macintosh HD" on the left sidebar - fixed the issue, and I'm going to not attempt to run Boot Camp again for a while just in case :-p

  • Why can't I recover disc space after removing Windows partition?

    Greetings,
    I have an early 2008 iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo with a 500 GB HD that I have steadily updated from Leopard to Mountain Lion.  I also had partitioned my HD using Bootcamp 2.0 to run Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  Everything hummed along nicely until the upgrade to OS 10.8.2. After that I could no longer start up in the Windows partition, ostensibly due to system registry files having become corrupt (or missing).  After several vain attempts at recovering Vista, I determined to start over using Bootcamp (now upgraded to 5.0), but 5.0 would install Windows 7, apparently not Vista. I was able to remove the Windows partition using Bootcamp 5.0 (the Windows drive no longer shows up at start up when I hold down the option key Macintosh HD and Recovery 10.8.2 remain).  I was hoping to recover the remaining HD space for the Mac.  In Disc Utliity, it shows the Mac HD occupies 337 GB of space (about 86 GB is free). The remaining 162 GB is greyed out.  If I resize the Mac HD to take up the remaining space and attempt to repartition it says "Partition Failed -- couldn't modify partition map because file system verification failed".
    I would like to recoup as much of the 162 GB as feasible, but at this point neither Bootcamp nor Disc Utility seem to be helping.  How can I accomplish this?Thanks.

    I have a problem on my early 2011 macbook pro customized with core i5 processor and 500gb hdd regarding BOOTCAMP for Installing Windows 8 on OS 10.9 Mavericks
    I tried to install windows 8 with bootcamp on OS X 10.9 Mavericks but while partitioning bootcamp was not responding and then i force quit it. After that i opened disk Utility and it showed no partitions for windows 8.
    But then my HDD which had 210GB free later showed as 136.27 Gb free only. IT means that my partition was not successful and it took up 74GB on my HDD.
    I dont want to erase my HDD and Reinstall OS X but want a solution to get my 74GB space back on my hdd without troubles of formatting and restoring from backup.

  • RoboHelp 7 - Intermittently missing the space after bolded text in

    We've converted a project of 800+ topics to RoboHelp 7 and
    updated our software with the new latest patch 7.01.001. The funky
    character issues have gone away but now, we noticed that we're
    intermittently missing the space after bolded words. I've check the
    HTML code and it is the coding is the same for all of the bolded
    words within a topic, yet one word will be missing space and all of
    the other bolded words won't.
    This applies to topics that were created in RH7 before the
    patch as well topics that were coverted from RH5 to RH6 and then to
    RH7. Also, applies to topics to were originally imported into RH5
    or RH6 from Word.
    The formatting looks like this: "It does <span
    style="font-weight: bold;">not</span> post in PARA or DBS.
    Sometimes, I see the end code is
    </span><span></span> --or -- </span>
    <spaces>
    I've also seen <b> word </b>
    Problem is that it is inconsistent and we have over 800
    topics within our project. To check each topic in the generated
    version and then go back to Edit will take forever.

  • Regaining lost space after error when removing Bootcamp partition?

         I am running snow leopard 10.8.2 and had a bootcamp partition of 115gb for Windows 7. Recently I tried to remove the partition using the bootcamp assistant and it displayed an error message that it was unable to remove the partition, however the icon for the partition disappeared in finder and the startup disk menu. I tried to remove the partition again in the same way and this time the error message did not come up, but the utility froze while it was removing the partition and after waiting for an hour or so I had to force quit the utility and restart my Mac. The bootcamp partition doesn't show up, but I did not get the 115gb back? Any ideas how I can reclaim it? Any help is much appreciated!
    -Ethan

    Notice the 76GB Free Space in the diskutil cs list output.
    Unless Kappy has alternative suggestion, I suggest the following (the last 'b' is bytes).
    diskutil cs resizeVolume <UseTheLongStringUUIDAboveTheMacintoshHDLine = DB68...> <UseTheSizeInBytesUnderTheLogicalVolumeGroupEntry = 250140434432b>
    diskutil cs resizeVolume
    Usage:  diskutil coreStorage resizeVolume
            lvUUID|MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode size
    Resize a logical volume, which is one of one or more disks that consume storage
    out of a logical volume group. The logical volume group will have more or less
    available space after this operation, if it was a shrink or grow, respectively.
    Example: diskutil coreStorage resizeVolume

  • Lost all my HDD space after cancelling partition!

    Short Story...Ive lost all my HDD space after cancelling partition, i had 1TB now i only have 13gb
    Long story...I installed parraeles desktop 8, went to install windows 7, it said i only had 60gb free, went to disk utility to try and partition to 150gb but only allowed me to partition 50:50 for unknown reason, i began the partition and then cancelled it as i wanted to try and only allow 150gb for windows 7, now it does not show partition at all, and says i only have 13gb free!!!
    PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!
    Running OXs 10.8.2

    Do you have a Time Machine backup of your system, if not make one.  Then go back into disk utility and delete the partition you just made.  To install Windows 7 via Parallels Desktop 8 you don't need to partition your hard drive the program takes care of the entire install.  

  • Missing HD space after install

    Today I did archive install on my Imac to see if would fix a problem which it has, but now I'm missing space. I started with 118.78GB and now after the install and updates i have 115.68GB. Does anyone know what could account for the missing harddrive space. I have deleted the old previous system folder already and the updates I download I had on the previous system
    Fox

    Yea, i did trash the old sys...so i'm not sure what is going on but oh well not like I lost a lot of space its only 3gb being used for something which could have been stuff i previously deleted so I'm not overly worried.

  • Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version.

    Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version. Paragraphs seem to only be dealt with in styles, and the Formatting window for text doesn't seem to have the space after paragraph contrtol that the older Inspector had. What am I missing?

    Sorry I did this without looking:
    Side panel >Text > Style > Spacing > Turn the triangle > Before Paragraph/After Paragraph/
    This is the trouble with the Peeky Boo Contextual Interface that so many wiser heads than mine love to love.

  • Creating Space after a Paragraph Style

    Okay, all, this may sound weird. All I want to do in CS4 is have an extra 4 pt of space after a particular paragraph style. Specifically, my paragraph style, Body Text, already has "space after" specified at 3 pt. Fine. But, for example, when I have three paragraphs of just this style, I want the three paragraphs separated by an additional 4 pt of space. (There is no consistency in documents when this situation occurs.)
    At first, I thought it might be possible to do this via a nested character style. Nope. Back in FrameMaker, I used to do this manually, whenever I wanted extra space. My trainers would add paragraph tags (ugh).
    Still a newbie...
    Thanks!

    Kenneth C. Benson wrote:
    Maybe I'm really missing your meaning here. When I override a style setting to get more space below, I add space below the *paragraph*. I don't adjust anything about the last line. This is no different in Framemaker. In Framemaker, you can add space above or below a paragraph, either as part of a style (what FM calls a "format") or as a style override. You don't "adjust the last line of a paragraph" in either program.
    There's one important difference between FrameMaker's paragraph
    spacing and most other DTP or WP tools: Space between FM paragraphs is
    NOT ADDITIVE. Space below a paragraph is not added to space above the
    following paragraph. In FM, the larger space wins. (I think Ventura
    has this feature also, or perhaps has the option for additive or
    larger-one-wins.)
    If the issue is to make inter-paragraph spacing work non-additively
    like FM, please file a feature request for this as an option, at:
    www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    EDIT: The forum was unavailable for a while, and my email response was bounced. By the time I discovered the rejected mail, I saw Lizbeth's mention of having used Based-on paragraph styles. Probably the based-on style caused the mysterious behavior. The based-on property style information is only visible in the define/modify style dialog box. I'm going to enter a feature request for an indicator for the based-on property that will appears wherever a style's name appears, and, if possible, displays the name of the based on paragraph, character, and object style. Master pages do show the based-on master letter on the page icons in the pages panel, but they lose their own letter. I'll also ask for this feature.

    The new version of Pages is missing a few things, or at least I can't find them (flow between text boxes being foremost). Where is the tool to add space after and/or  before a paragraph?

  • Hierarchy function could not complete coz of missing space

    Hi All,
    Iam having a issue "<b>Hierarchy function could not complete because of missing space</b>" when iam expanding a hierarchy( with 37k lines) in report, rest of the hierarchies( with 34k, 36k lines) are fine.
    Even that hierarchy in question working fine after i refresh query, its giving that problem after few refreshes again.
    Can any body please advice me why this one happening like this.
    Regards
    Robyn.

    Hi,
    A couple of things I would check here :
    Try the same thing using the web and see if the behaviour is the same. This is to elimate that the excel is causing the problem. Second try to observe the system activity in both cases, when its working fine and the other when its not refreshing properly. Hierarchies do tend to take time in reporting depending on the data.
    Also check the cache settings and temp table space. You can work with basis to see if the temp table space needs to be extended.
    In addition, have multiple users try running the report and check how the hierarchy is behaving.
    Cheers,
    Kedar

    When it continues to fail, what's the character set of the Oracle database being used and how did you set the NLS_LANG in your environment?

  • Missing pictures after migration to Photos

    Hi,
    I'm really sad to see how quality in Apple services has decreased.
    To begin with, my iPhoto was getting way too slow, so I was forced to split my library into many other libraries.
    After Photos was released, I updated the system so I could migrate my libraries from iPhoto to the new Photos.
    The migration lasted a week!
    When it was finally finished, I went on to check the number of pics.
    There was a huge difference, with almost ten events missing pictures.
    I did not even enable the iCloud feature.
    And guess what? It's still slow.
    How can I trust a system like this?
    I'm really disappointed.

    Thanks for your reply but I'm still confused as to how I lost over 10Gigs of HD space after the migration. I understand the conversion is supposed to create more space, not less.  When I look in the pictures folder in Finder, I see 2 LIbrarys, iPhoto and Photos, each of them approx 15 Gbs. according to the Get Info menu.  I guess what I don't understand is if the iPhotos Library is not needed and is moved to an external drive why that wouldn't free that amount of space.
    Also, if "optimization" is supposed to move "some" high res images to the cloud to make room on the HD, how is it that I find myself with only 1gb left on my HD? What is the criteria that triggers "optimization" and how much room can we expect it to shoot for? There seems to be a variety of answers on this subject, many of them sound like guesses. Apple's explanation is vague about how it works, so hopefully someone has the accurate, in depth scoop on this.

  • How do I reclaim the unused space after a huge data delete- very urgent

    Hello all,
    How do I reclaim the unused space after a huge data delete?
    alter table "ODB"."BLOB_TABLE" shrink space; This couldn't execute with ora 10662 error. Could you please help

    'Shrink space' has requirements:
    shrink_clause
    The shrink clause lets you manually shrink space in a table, index-organized table or its overflow segment, index, partition, subpartition, LOB segment, materialized view, or materialized view log. This clause is valid only for segments in tablespaces with automatic segment management. By default, Oracle Database compacts the segment, adjusts the high water mark, and releases the recuperated space immediately.
    Compacting the segment requires row movement. Therefore, you must enable row movement for the object you want to shrink before specifying this clause. Further, if your application has any rowid-based triggers, you should disable them before issuing this clause.
