The mysterious case of the missing Bootcamp partition space

I've searched and searched, but have come up with nothing, so I hoped that one of you brilliant people could help me:
I created a 122gb partition on my Macbook Pro using Bootcamp.
After all was said and done, Windows installed and so on, Windows told me I had only 113gb on the partition.
However, once back in OSX, Disk Utility told me that the partition was indeed 122gb as I had originally planned it.
So, does anyone have any idea where those 9gb magically disappeared to? Did I do something wrong, and is there a way to fix this?
Bootcamp is working just fine, and so is OSX (aside from the Bootcamp drive icon not showing up on the desktop anymore for some strange reason, nor the Bootcamp partition showing up as a selectable start up drive), so I'm at a loss.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you are on iOS 8.2 then update to iOS 8.3.
If that doesn't solve the problem try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.

  • The mysterious case of the disappearing cache synchs

    hi. i'm using activemq 4 with toplink 10g for cache synching. lately i've been losing a lot of synchs. through some debugging, i discovered that the producer is producing the proper change sets but by the time it gets to the consumer, stuff goes missing. for example, in one transaction, 4 objects will be changed and the producer (RemoteCommandManager#propagateCommand) shows four objects in the change set. however by the time it gets to the consumer (RemoteCommandManager#processCommandFromRemoteConnection), not all of the objects are in the change set. however, the size (or whatever the property in the command object is) still shows 4. does anybody know what could cause this behavior?
    thanks in advance

  • The mysterious case of the missing audiobooks

    In the latest version of Music for iPad (and I guess iPhone), there is no longer a link to access the audiobooks I've downloaded from iTunes over the years.
    I've searched in iBooks and other equally obscure IOS Apps, but they remain stubbornly disappeared.
    They also don't appear on my 'purchased' list. How rude.
    Where have the naughty Apple tinkerers put my Audiobooks?
    can anyone solve this conundrum?

  • The mysterious case of the vanishing folio

    We have a folio that was creted offline when logged in to one account, and later uploaded to the magazine account.
    When logging in to the Folio Producer or through the Folio Builder panel, we can see the that folio and manage it with no problem, I can also see it shared in my Folio Builder panel, but it fails to show up in the Content Viewer eithr when logging in to the magazine account or when sharing it with others.
    Anybody has any idea what's wrong?

    Thanks Johannas and Kletsel for pointing me in the correct path.
    It was indeed an orientation related problem.
    Previously, when I made a visual check of all the articles, they all had a single orientation (portrait). But, after I read your answers, I took a peep at the online editor, and when I switched back from List view, which I'm forced to use due to the buggie scrolling behavior of the Thumbnails view with Right Edge Binding folios, to Thumbnails view, I found a disturbing behavior with the cover article that I didn't noticed before.
    When I opened the Relink dialog of this article in the Folio Builder panel, it contained a garbage string in the landscape path. After I erased it the evasive folio finally showed up.
    In conclusion, there are 3 issues:
    1. Does anyone have any idea to the origin of the garbage string?
    2. There's an unresolved editor scrolling issue with the Thumbnails view display of Right Edge Binding folios. Is it going to be fixed (soon)?
    3. The orientation warning shows up only in Thumbnails view but not in the List view, and even then, you'll stumble on it only if you check both orientations.
         (1) How about adding a general orientation problem alert for both views?
         (2) In List view, it will be very helpful (at least for me) if we can have an orientation indication column with H, V, or H+V indication for the article orientation.

  • The Mysterious Case of the Vanishing Playlist Content

    I recently got my MBP back from Apple repair. New logic board and reformatted hard drive. I restored all data from Time Machine, but I now find that all of my playlists are empty. The song files (all stored on an external hard drive) still exist in my library and can be played, but they have vanished from my oh-so-tastefully crafted playlists. ***? There's no way I could ever re-create that mastery.
    Is there some way to restore the playlist's content using Time Machine?
    Any help is much appreciated.

  • Will the iPhone case affects the camera and quality of photos?

    I really want to know if the case in the iPhones might affect the quality of the photo. Thus, what is the best case that suits best for the iPhone 5s?

    no they will not its about how you take photo and sometimes low lighting can also be the problem andd theres really no best case but my oppion is the best cases are the thick rubber cases so it will stick to your pants if your lets say sitting down and the thickness will add protection to falls

    I 'am posting One vI. In this if I put a while loop, I don't need the false case of the case loop to iterate. When I press the button on, the true case should execute. This is my interntion can you please help me
    Attachments:

    Your VI has 5 case structures, which one are you talking about?
    There is no while loop, please explain what you mean. Where do you want to place one?
    I don't know what a "case loop" is. Can you explain?
    Again, you have 5 buttons. Which one do you press?
    One big problem is that your Visa resource is not wired across some of the cases, thus losing it for the remainder of the code.
    Please explain what the code is supposed to do, how it should be operated, and what you expect to happen. Thanks!

  • Does the 5s use the same case as the 5?

    Does anyone know if the 5s uses the same cases as the 5?  Just trying to get a head start.:-}

    The 5 and the 5S have essentially the same physical configurations in termns of size, so yes, in most instances a case designed for the 5 should work on the 5s.

  • Will the old cases fit the ipod touch 5 generation?

  • The Strange Case of the Missing Shared Devices...

    Dear Forum,
    I am currently having intermittent trouble with the connection of shared devices.
    The network consists of a MBP, Qnap TS109 and a Canon printer hooked up via LAN to a WAG200G. The Qnap serves music to a PS3 (WLAN) and the Mac and also serves as a TimeMachine back up device.
    The problem is that every so often I lose my Shared Devices in the Finder side-bar. They just disappear.
    I have managed to reconnect by playing with the Network connections preferences, but as I suspected (due to exhausting the permutations), this solution has come to an end and now I cannot urge them to reappear (unless I restart (which is a solution, but not an entirely satisfactory one)…
    All devices have been set to use static IP address (none conflict).
    The Mac’s settings are as follows:
    TCP/IP-
    Configure IPv4 Manually: then my IP address.
    Subnet and router are both correct as I can connect to the Qnap & WAG admin pages and internet (I’m not sure if that is a correct test of these settings, but the numbers are correct).
    Configure IPv6: Off.
    Under DNS : I have entered both DNS servers as per the instructions of the ISP (I have been with them for years and these are correct).
    WINS- (I don’t know what this is but…)
    NETBIOS Name: the name of my Mac (All uppercase (don’t know why, but looks definitely windows (ish))
    Workgroup: (blank)
    WINS Servers (blank),
    802.1X & Proxies: everything is per the default setting as I have never touched anything in these options.
    Ethernet-
    ID: My Mac MAC
    Configure: Auto
    Speed, Duplex and MTU have never been touched, but I am assuming that Auto covers these.
    Under Network (System Preferences), then Location: Auto, then next to Status: Connected (currently active and correct IP)
    The WAG is the only thing on this mini network that sets DHCP, I could change this to disable as everything has it’s own Static IP, but is there any need?
    (I hope I am getting the terminology correct and not inadvertently creating confusion.)
    The PS3 sees the Twonky server in the Qnap, so I am not sure if that is an issue, it doesn’t appear to be.
    So why the missing devices?
    None of this would actually be a problem if it was not for the fact that once the Qnap disappears from the Finder side-bar, TimeMachine does not back up (yet I can connect via a browser to the Qnap, even if it is not present in the side-bar).
    The problem is I feel as though my thinking is a bit blinkered as I am only concentrating on the Network connection aspect, yet I am afraid I am not entirely sure what else I should be considering. That is to say what is causing the Mac hooked up to a perfectly adequate connection/ functioning network to suddenly cause it to drop the devices, yet retain connection by other means?
    Unfortunately a forum member had exactly the same problem but sadly removed the query from open questions.
    It goes without saying (but there is no harm in me saying it anyway), but any help would be appreciated.

    Bump
    This recently happened to me as well, actually it's happened for awhile, and only recently have begun to try to find the answers. Did you ever find out what happened?
    Also seems like this post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11367180
    But that has no answers posted either. Perhaps a reformat and stick with 10.6.2, which is what I think the last version the "Shared Devices" automatically showed without deliberately mounting a network drive.
    My situation is pretty much the same, "Shared Devices" do not automatically show up on the left sidebar. If I know the IP address or netbios name, I can mount network hard drives: Command + K and smb://ipaddress
    My Computers, I have an iBook G4, which used to automatically pop up; a Windows7 computer that used to automatically show; and an Ubuntu 10.04 computer that would show up as well for screen sharing and smb.
    Possible culprits include: netbios/smb problems, mDNSresponder/Bonjour problems, other networking config. No settings permutations have fixed the problem.

  • The Strange Case of the Missing Network Icon

    Can anyone help my buddy Tom - who is running a G4 iBook with OS X Panther? He is unable to get onto his wireless network and here is the problem in his own words:
    "Had a moment to muck about in the iBook drive, following data crumbs from the all-pervasive Network software. Apparently, all that spinning of the drive over regions containing bits and bytes of the application managed to cobble together enough of Network to launch an e-mail, which I immediately determined had to go to you. This is strictly a spit-and-string enterprise, similar to a baling wire and soup can exhaust system fix, and likely the only e-mail I'll get off until I complete an entire system restore. Think of it as a faulty telephone connection - you can hear me, but I can't hear you. So, don't bother to respond, as your e-mail will probably languish in my Inbox for the time it takes me to resurrect OS X.
    What brought me to this point is my reasoning Network isn't a stand-alone application like a word processor, but rather a "network" (clever, eh?) piece of software with files strewn through other software so they can access various aspects of it. For example, World Book Encyclopedia accomplishes a software update without launching Safari; connecting to its mother ship via but another piece of Network that happens to reside within the program. I guess this approach is what put the "i" in iBook, and it seems to work pretty well...until moments like this. Perhaps Steve Jobs outsourced to Hansel and Gretel to create a new marketing twist.
    Anyway, I've talked this all up with a number of people, and the universal response seems to be; "Huh? I've never heard such a thing.". I even managed to mightily confuse Dave and he's got an awful lot of Mac expertise. But the real kicker, when explaining how I reasoned it all out, is when I mention the key to my understanding was when I noticed the missing Network icon. That's when their eyes glaze over and it's apparent they can't quite wrap their brain around the idea. I've deduced how to cajole the Finder to reveal this Archimedean moment, and included a pair of attachments so you, too, can share in my AHA!! revelation. Running this all past Dave had him agreeing I seem to have a handle on it, but the sheer complexity of all those .exec files squirreled here, there, and everywhere still had him scratching his head.
    Interestingly, I have to coerce the Finder to display the icon example; you can't simply click it into existence. I do it by plugging in a travel drive, opening same, then ejecting it. The Finder then defaults to what you see (the word Network with no icon).
    Speaking of attachments, I was so tempted to wade through all 70 (70!!) e-mails in my inbox, but was fearful my MacGyvered patch would fail before getting this off to you.
    Time to fade back into the black hole from whence I came. When I close Safari it'll relinquish its tenuous grasp on the Network .exec file it's hacked to."
    Any ideas on what's wrong and how it can be fixed? I'll see that they get passed on to Tom.
    G4 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   iMac

    Before the mid-1980s, networking might have been implemented with a lot of goofy little routines (.exec's if you must) calling one another. About that time the CCITT (an international telecommunications standards committee made up of Academic and Industrial representatives) did a lot of work abstracting and then standardizing the functions that various parts of a network perform.
    The CCITT refined the notion of a Layered Network Architecture and specified the types of activities performed in each layer. Shortly thereafter Apple implemented Open Transport and delivered it into the marketplace in System 7.5.3.
    Apple networking has been very well-behaved and under control since then. It does not tend to "get lost" or "lose track of things". It really is very good. With only a few limitations, you can connect Macs running 7.5.3 through 10.3.9 and have File Sharing work without regard to what versions are talking to each other.

  • Missing BootCamp Partition

    Today i decided to start up bootcamp on my macbook pro.
    I started Boot Camp Assisstant, partitioned 15GB for windows and it was going fine until my system decided to crash and had to be restarted.
    When i started it back up the 15GB i partitioned for windows was missing, starting up Boot Camp Assisstant brings me to the intro page like it hadnt done a thing.
    I have 15GB missing somewhere and i have no idea how to recover this space.
    I used Disk Utility and tried erasing free space, veryfing the disk, and reparing the disk.
    Apon startup when i hold down the option key only Mac HD is shown.
    Is my only option to back up my files and erase the whole HD???

    1. You cannot repair disk from DU if you had not started either from the Install DVD or and ext HDD,
    2. Did you see the 15GB partition from DU?
    3. If answer to 1 above is "no", startup using the DVD and repair disk
    4. Next, startup normally. Then start Terminal. Type: diskutil list
    5. You should get a listing of the drives. While still in Terminal, type: diskutil mergepartitions. You will get a detailed description of how to merge the partitions thereby regaining your entire drive.
    6. As always, backup all data before attempting.
