Norton Ghost Equivlent for OS X? BootCamp won't let me unpartition.

So here's the story... I used Boot Camp to install Vista RC1, I wanted to see the 64-bit version working on my new Macbook Pro. While installing Vista it is suggested to remove an "EFI" 200mb partition. It worked. But now I want to rid of the partition and put my HD back to 1 full piece, I just use Parallels for my very few windows "needs". But Boot Camp assistant says it is unable to put them back in to one, and I must Backup and use Disc Utility to format my HD and then just reinstall OS X. But I wanna be lazy... is there any option like a Norton ghost, or equivalent, that I could image all my data on the OS X partition... then format my HD back in to one piece, then reinstall the image (i have a 2nd mac to be able to push the image from). Or what would be the easiest way to backup my data... so there's less needing to reinstall apps and configure personal setting/data?
thanks.

You have two options:

Both of them are working fine.
Please note that you have to use an external HD to backup your existining one.

Iv downloaded the 0845 wizard from the App Store. Registered my details and it has been working. But for some reason it won't let me log in and keep saying failed every time I try to use it. Iv deleted and re-downloaded the app and it still says the same?

I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.

TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

So we just got a new Macbook and I also installed the apple configurator tool. I'm using it to prepare the iPads for deployment and it won't let me prepare them? It gets an error stating "retrieving iOS info from apple" then it stops and says "internet error". My Internet connection is fine with the Mac-book. It shows the iPad is listed under the Prepare logo up top as 1 but under supervise none are shown. Although it does show itself in iTunes. Also the profile I created is fresh and has no errors. We have tryed nearly everything I cna think of and online forums are not giving us to much info on this error.

A wag at this. A port issue?
"Apple Push Notification network setup
When MDM servers and iOS devices are behind a firewall, some network configuration may need to take place in order for the MDM service to function properly. To send notifications from an MDM server to Apple Push Notification service, TCP port 2195 needs to be open. To reach the feedback service, TCP port 2196 will need to be open as well. For devices connecting to the push service over Wi-Fi, TCP port 5223 should
be open."

Try it on your home network where there isn't a lot of 'controls' -- network filtering , firewalls, etc.

Tap the screen outside the app. Still there, double click the home button and swipe the app store preview up to close it. If it's still there, reset time.

What means "crashed", and "won't let me"?
Anyway, download it from http://www.adobe.com/downloads.html
Usually I would recommend to download the direct downloads from http://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl, but it seems the site is currently down.

What exactly are you doing when you are prompted for your password? Are you on your phone or your computer?

Is it possible to restore a norton ghost Windows7 image to a bootcamp partition ?

Trying to setup a dual boot environment on a new Mac Air with MacOS and Windows7 using Bootcamp. Rather than the normal way of installing Win7 from the vanilla install media, is it possible to restore a Norton Ghost image of a different (PC) laptop to the new Win7 partition?

Two "no" on this.
Activation needs to be retail OS. That okay?
Moving Windows to another motherboard almost never works and is buggy and unstable. Been there tried that.
Ghost does not support Boot Camp and the UEFI/GPT scheme used. Nor does Acronis. Paragon Software has come along with Boot Camp support.

Why can't I enable an audio track for recording? (It won't let me)

I want to record VO but PP won't let me...
On Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite in System Preferences:
• Sound Input is set to C-Media USB Headphone Set (an Alesis usb mic...works fine for VO in Final Cut Pro 7)
• Output is set to Headphone port
In Premiere Pro CC Audio Hardware Preferences:
• ASIO Hardware is set to "System Default Input/Output"
• I have also tried "C-Media USB Headphone Set but this, too, doesn't work
• With "System Default I/O" selected, Output Mapping is set to "Adobe Desktop Audio" (only choice), and shows:
     • "Built-in Output: Headphones 1
     • "Built-in Output: Headphones 2
     • "C-Media USB Headphone Set: Front Left
     • "C-Media USB Headphone Set: Front Right
all four of these have a couple of square icons to the right.
In order to record VO, I first need to "enable track for recording" in the Audio Track Mixer. There are no in or out points set in my timeline and the tracks are not locked or solo'd or anything. So why can't I select the audio track I want to use to record VO? I click it but there is no response. I just want to know why this software is not doing what it's designed to do.

is I learn still around -? That was VERY HANDY!

HT204088 I did not receive a order number for the ringtone(I won't let go), I was charged 3.00's for one ringtone. The charges appear on my debit card for it.

I purchased a ringtone I won't let go and was charged 3 times but no ringtone. I did not get a order number either as I did not get it sent to my iPhone number.

ICal keeps sending alarms for past events and won't let me delete items from calendar, I hit delete but the event just keeps multiplying on my calendar?

iCal just started repeatedly sending me alarms a couple of days ago. I thought deleting the event from my calendar would help but it won't let me delete them, they just keep multiplying in my calendar. Help please

Hello again,
Well I seem to have overcome the problem, but not easily, and not by identifying the cause. I don't like that I don't know what caused the trouble. I make no guarantees, but this is what I did (on an iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8). Be sure to create backup copies of your files first:
[Note: before you do any of this, you may want to try running Disk Utility program (found in Applications/Utilities/) and run the "Repair Permissions" option. See if that solves anything, but it didn't for me]
a) I exported my iCal as an archive: Menu item, "File/Export/iCal Archive...". This won't likely do you any good, though, as something was wrong with it and I could not re-import it. But try anyhow.
b) After backing them up, I deleted the folders and contents inside the Calendars folder: "Users/<your user name>/Library/Calendars/<subdirectories>". To create a backup, right-click on the Calendar folder and choose "compress Calendars" from the pop-up menu. Then drag the folder contents into the trash.
c) After creating backup copies, delete (drag into the trash) these preferences files found in "Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences" (the slashes delimit the folder names):
Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iCal.helper.<some convoluted hex number>.plist
d) Restart your computer;
e) Launch iCal and reimport the individual calendar files you exported earlier.
Hopefully all is well.
Let me emphasize again that you will not likely succeed in reimporting the calendar archive. In the first place it likely contains corrupted data that caused your trouble in the first place. So you will need to import the individual calendars that have been exported. Be very certain to export these individually first.
And if you want to make doubly certain, then copy and paste some of your important and key events into a TextEdit file and save that file in case you don't succeed.
Perhaps you subscribed to some online calendar? If I recall correctly I had imported a calendar when the World Cup Soccer series was happening; I speculate that might have contributed to the issue. I wish I could have found exactly what caused the trouble. It may have been some older, less compatible format that was retained through a series of Mac OS updates.
Good luck.

Bootcamp won't let me remove partition without 10gb free space

I want to free up my mac by deleting the windows partition but boot camp won't let me because I don't have enough free space UGH! I can't get to the selection in boot camp that allows you to check "remove partition" because I keep getting a pop up window telling me I don't have 10 gb free space and therefore can't continue. This is a real glitch. They shouldn't have the remove partition feature behind this minimum requirement. Any suggestions around this? I've already deleted everything I can but don't want to keep trying to find more if someone has a better idea. Thanks.

I have icloud on all my devices I changed my email address and my password for them, but I can't seem to change it all for icloud. It won't let me. I keep getting a window popping up on all them asking to go to settings but in settings it won't allow me

I cannot seem to change my email address and password on icloud. I have changed it in itunes. But On all my apple products it will not let me, I just keep getting a window popping up on all of them asking me to go to settings but when I go into setting I cannot get it to change. Help !!!

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with your new credentials. If all you did was modify your existing ID rather than creating and entirely new ID, you can choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. Your data will still be in iCloud and will download to your phone when you sign back in.
