Deletion and creation of a primary drive on iPad Icloud account

My employer has provided me with an Ipad Air2 for work.  I put it to the top with my current Apple I.D. and iTunes account I have with my personal iPhone.  For simplicity and storage space, I would like to remove my existing account of the iCloud drive and create a new dedicated strictly for my iPad to work.  Is this possible without resetting everything on the iPad?

I created a new I.D. Apple and I relaize you can use this secondary ID to access iCloud drive, what I want is a separte to iCloud drive dedicated for the iPad.

Your help is appreciated,

Saldoggy

Settings/iCloud and existing sign of your Apple ID and then connect you with new Apple ID. This should give you a different drive than associated iCloud to your identifying existing.

  • Install the new SATA drive and the primary drive Clone which he

    After reading many messages from hard drive yesterday and the manual for my Dimension 4600, I bought a Western Digital 250 GB SATA internal drive which will become the secondary drive through Dell. My first is a 40 GB with 14 GB of free space. I am a student of site design Web and must use Adobe Creative Suite CS3, including PhotoShop, Dreamweaver, etc., which is a huge program. Technology Department told me that I could load the program Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on the new secondary drive and my images and other Documents which I will use to create Web sites for school. I could load MicroSoft Office 2007 as well if it is a good idea.

    What is a reasonable secondary use of a hard drive?  Is this a good practice? Benefits; Disadvantages?

    If the primary drive fails in the future, it is possible to just load Windows XP, etc on the new secondary disk at this time and the report on? Or I need to remove Adobe Creative Suite, MicroSoft Office, my pictures, etc., before I could load the operating system? I have a 60 GB external USB drive for backup of Documents and Settings.

    I was sent here from the "Windows Live Solution Center" to ask my 'Q', below:

    My Contacts Windows Live is 452,1 MB and contains 16 files that extend into the size of 28.1 MB to 29.2 MB.
    Why so many large files containing essentially the same... Contacts?
    Do we really need 28 + MB to store contacts?
    Two of the files have been accessed today, while others have not been accessed for 6 days.
    Can one be deleted and if so, which?

    Since you are using Windows XP, your version of Windows Live Messenger be WLMsgr 2009.

    - so working in online mode (b) - Messenger requires a Live ID access code to use.

    The article I wrote and quoted above explained that WLM (Windows Live Mail), which is also applicable to the WLMsgr 2009 versions contain most of the information to determine what to remember as...

    1. how to use the registry to determine the names of digital files of the database of Contacts

    2A explained that 2009 has two functional databases for each Live ID (a primary and a shadow)

    -both are needed. used 2009 the 'shade' as a catchment area to ensure synchronization occurs in both directions, when changes are made in both locations (local in Messenger or online at contacts.live.com)

    Please read and understand the best article

    http://liveunplugged.WordPress.com/2011/02/04/Windows-Live-Mail-contacts-database/

    ... especially the section dedicated to explain the Contacts 2009 databases.

    Once you determine the digital records of your single Live ID database (shadow and primary) and the program created 'default' you can check the size of each. If you feel that your registry database shows other numeric names (created using other Live ID or perhaps due to an error by typing a user name in the Messenger sign-in box) and these folders can be deleted safely.  Note: you may need to configure Windows Explorer to show hidden and system files to see when viewing in Windows Explorer.

    In addition, you can also, as your contacts are stored online at contacts.live.com, after closing of Messenger remove the any local digital database called folders (for the primary shadow and if is the default). WLMsgr will recreate them on next signon and rebuild any local database folders and files based on what it sync (downloads) of the Live Server to contacts.live.com.

    -Before the deletion of all files, it would be wise to connect to contacts.live.com and check that all your contacts are indeed present and represent for and for saving documents to archives/purposes export contacts to a csv file using the web UI option... Once completed then disconnection from the web UI.

    -Do not, and I it cannot emphasize enough strongly, do not delete anything from the web interface before you delete the local databases on your hard drive (you can always return to contacts.live.com later to manage the contacts (remove, clean the unused or duplicates, merge duplicates etc.) if necessary after WLMsgr recreates local databases.)

    Once done your registry key should show that three databases total (assuming you are using only a Live ID in WLMsgr)-the main and shadow for that Live ID and a default value (if it is created by the program).

    You should have enough information to move forward or to ask additional questions.

    As I mentioned earlier that, at a minimum, an empty list of contacts would be at least some multiple approx. 24 MB. Since you use WLMsgr 2009, and it uses a primary and shadow, the minimum size of about for you with no contact would be approximately 72MB (24 MB for each - primary, shadow and by default). As well as the contacts are added, the primary databases and shadows will be size.

    Other topics presented in this thead element (but not significant) - comments below to close this loop

    S ' for the use of your Hotmail account in Outlook. This use is not related or significant to the database used by WLMsgr. Contacts in Outlook (when the mail is configured to use Pop3 or DeltaSync with Outlook Hotmail Connector) are stored in the Outlook profile contacts, and quite separate from the WLMsgr database (i.e. neither Outlook or WLMsgr program communicates or synchronize or share data with each other to keep the feature)

    FYI... not associated with 2009, but 2011 (for those who read along. WLM 2011 no longer uses the approach of two (primary and shadow) file for databases local contact so databases are smaller and also more robust in 2011 and better synchronize.  Finally, with respect to the use of 2009, wysiwyg... no other upgrades for 2009 are planned (the code was frozen for more than a year, the latest version (never) released in May 2010).

    Good luck.

    Hello

    D: is not a partition backup of your machine.

    Acer has a time set up their machines to the way yours is:

    They had a C: drive for the operating system, a drive D: for data (music, movies, etc you would like to register and a recovery partition 'hidden' to reinstall the operating system and to make the recovery discs to do the same thing.)

    You can merge C: and D: as a whole, BUT save all data on D: first because it will be deleted when you merge.

  • How to delete everything off of my hard drive?

    I have an old computer iMac (from 2008), and I would like to delete the contents of my hard drive. Is there a way to do this, and can it be done without deleting the operating system?

    It can be done easily without remove the operating system, but...

    Start now CMC - r & use utility disc here, CMD + r should have an option to reinstall the OS after clearing the startup disk.

    Or...

    Open system preferences > accounts, unlock it, click the "smaller", make a new admin account, log on & into the new account.

    In the same pref pane to highlight your old account, click on the less icon, then use to Secure Erase free space disk utility.

  • Wizard BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    How is it assistant BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    This has two questions:

    1 capacity of SSDS faster for Fusion drive has been reduced. Therefore less effective for the reader of the merger. For example if I need to create a partition of 80G for my windows bootcamp partition, only 48 G will be left in the drive of the merger.

    2. ability of the bootcamp windows partition becomes very limited, cannot be greater than 120 G.

    3. even when I try to fuse out of the drive of fusion in the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD disk, and then run the BootCamp assistant to create the bootcamp partition start from scratch to reinstall El Capitan only on the HARD drive (without drive Fusion), it won't let me do anything, it just shows an error that says something like "a person has created additional partitions on this drive please select. another disc. But there is nothing else to choose.

    Before my (5 K, 27 inches, end of 2014 retina) to El Capitan Yosemite, I was able to use the previous version of the wizard BootCamp 5.x to create the partition, bootcamp on the drive of the merger. And it will be divided in the fuser unit in two and insert the Bootcamp partition (with the size I chose, which can go up to 1 TB) between two partitions of MAC OSX.

    The disk partitions resulting from it, will be the partition MAC OS x on the SSD, the partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #1, partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #3.

    Then there is the BootCamp partition on the HARD drive partition #2.

    Is there a way to get what I need?

    That is what has been described in this notice of two canoes?

    Installation of Windows on a Boot Camp partition on a drive of TB Fusion 3

    n-on-a-3-TB-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/Winclone/support/installing-Windows-on-a-Boot-Camp-partitio

    Thank you.

    After having worked on those weeks, I realized that I need very painfully (by first going back to Yosemite and bootcamp 5 to escape all the limitations of El Capitan and BootCamp 6) I want to share here. Someone at - it other smarter solutions welcome.

    Note these steps and mentioned drivers only work for my version of iMAC, retina 5K late 2014. If you have other material, please search on the web to see which driver will work first. And all of these steps are destructive and assumed that you first take backup. It is only shared for interest only. Readers will have to bear your own risk.

    A. take backup

    1. take a backup completes my iMac Fusion Drive using Time Machine. Then restart with a Yosemite USB installation and select Terminal from the menu on the top bar.

    B. fuse out of the merger in two physical disks drive: SSD + HDD

    1. in the terminal, type the commands in show what the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the disc fusion)

    Cs diskutil list

    2. in the terminal, type commands for the fuse of the fuser unit and separate them to an SSD and a HARD drive.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the drive of the merger. There are many articles in this community on how this could be done,

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    This should finish within 30 minutes. If you have taken more time, this means that your reader of fusion has been altered somehow.

    I hit this issue too.  To use this command to remove the fusion drive hung up, and I need to do the hard to scramble a few sections of data in the hard disk partition table using the controls to tell the OSX this hard drive is a new without partitions:

    Cat >/dev/random /dev/disk0 (where/dev/disk0 is the SSD)

    and repeat for disk1/dev/disk1 which is the HARD drive in my case).

    This command will not return anything, but expect to press Ctrl-Z to end after 1 minute.

    2 create independent partitions (non-fusionend) for the installation of OSX.

    Borne Terminal output, and select disk utility, in disk utility, select the drive to HARD disk (and not on the partition), you will see the error message and you will be asked if you want to fix the fuser unit, click on ignore. Then wipe the HARD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"HARD drive".

    3. Repeat step 2, and then erase the SSD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"SSD ".

    C. install on the HARD disk as drive didier autonomous not fusion.

    1. go to Yosemite install screen and proceed with the installation of a clean copy of Yosemite to the iMAC. then connect you.

    D. use BootCamp Yosemite f5 to install windows.

    1. launch Yosemite bootcamp.

    2. check the two checkboxes for creating the USB drive to install windows 7 or a later version, and to download the windows supports the Apple software.  Do not click on the last box to install or remove windows pie creating real bootcamp partition again.

    3. it may take several hours to complete this function of your internet b/w and also performance of your USB drive.

    4. If you install Windows 7 (like me), then the downloaded drivers will not work for you, this will cause the issue of the device driver appleDSS.sys does not like this driver and others are too recent for windows 7 to use.  Also, your keyboard and mouse may not work even if you try to plug in a USB external keyboard or a mouse. You need to replace the drivers downloaded by others (the Boot Camp 5.1.5769 drivers that I find in this link: Software Support of Boot Camp 5.1.5769.) (Note: this driver is material specific only works for my iMAC model).  Once you have downloaded it, copy the two files in the root directory of the USB installation to replace the original ones. It's specific and material available for download somewhere on the Apple Site.

    -From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and the Boot Camp of the FLASH PLAYER files.

    -Expand the old drivers for Boot Camp 5.1.5769 (two records and another file) on your desktop.

    -Copy the $WinPE$ and records of Boot Camp in the FLASH PLAYER.

    5. open Boot Camp Assistant again and only select the third option, install Windows 7.

    It will show you the screen to select what installation disk, select HARD drive.

    Then drag the slide bar to select the size of the Bootcamp partition for windows you want, knowing that there is a restriction for windows installed using training camp on a MAC that the last byte of the BootCamp partition must reside in the first byte of the 2.2 T of each physical hard drive.

    For my case, I need only 500G for bootcamp and leaving behind 1.7 to for my MAC OSX partition immediately after the bootcamp partition and an another 0.8 T MAC OSX partition after him. 1.7 TB and the partition of MAC OS x 0.8 TB well exploited in the meantime bootcamp partition, will be merged into a fusion drive by Bootcamp. Thus, you will end up with total 2.5 TB of disk space in a logical drive - fuser.

    Go to this link for more details on this subject: n-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-partitio

    6. continue the process to partition the hard drive, then it will restart automatically in windows installation mode, install windows.

    7. once the installation is complete, check that windows is functioning correctly.

    E. Si you want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7.

    1 if you plan to upgrade to windows 10, you'll find that the windows IE v.8 7 is no longer works and had many problems to load the page.  Then when you try to download the latest version of Internet Explorer, you get an error that you need at least windows 7 SP1 to support the last IE.  Life is too complicated, just download the google Chrome browser, then search for download windows 10 and then run the Microsoft valuation tool to upgrade.

    2 but before upgrade you, unplug all your MAC USB drives, otherwise, you will find that, after having spent an hour downloading the windows 10 software, the upgrade will fail with the error "/ dynamicupdate...» ». It is an inexplicable mistake that no one seems to understand why. There are articles with proven results that the removal of all USB drives before running the windows 10 upgrade tool will correct this problem.

    F. reinstall OSX El Capitan

    Once your target windows system (if windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10) works very well.  You can continue to create again your Fusion drive and reinstall OSX El Capitan.

    1. Insert the install of OSX Yosemite rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type the command 'diskutil list cs' and you should see nothing to prove that there are no existing fusion drive yet.

    6 type the 'diskutil list' command to list all disks and partitions.

    The SSD has two partitions, the/dev/disk0s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk0s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD around 121 G.

    The HARD drive has two partitions, the/dev/disk1s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk1s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD.

    G. delete the logical storage of nucleus on the HARD disk drive and it refuses with the DSS to form a merger with faster performance disc

    1. Insert the install of OSX El Capitan rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type orders for (to show what are the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the logical drive). You should see the logical volume to basic storage group created using two partitions on the hard drive, 1.7 TB and TB 0.8 created when we run the Yosemite Bootcamp to install windows.

    Cs diskutil list

    6. in the terminal, type commands to delete logical drives from basic storage.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the logical drive.

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    7. tap "diskutil list" command lists all the resulting partitions. You should see that the HARD drive has the following partitions.

    / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

    1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

    2: Apple_HFS GB SSD 121.0 disk0s2

    / dev/disk1 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * 3.0 to disk1

    1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

    2: Apple_HFS 1.7 Untitled TB disk1s2

    3: disk1s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

    4: Microsoft database BOOTCAMP 503.0 GB disk1s4

    5: Apple_HFS 801,4 Untitled GB disk1s5

    8 type the following commands to create the logical volumes group, named "myLVG" (or the name) of fuser using the usable for OSX to the SSD and HDD partitions.

    diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2 disk1s5

    Note: Mark the group id of logical volume shown in the results.

    In my case, I want to book the last partition as standalone partition disk1s5 no-fusionend, so I can use it to raise the back, or format it in FAT32 to allow the exchange of data between the MAC and boot camp.

    So, I do not understand this last partition in the drive of the merger. in my case, the command that I used is: diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2

    9 create logical volumes named "Macintosh HD" (or you call it) on the logical volume group we just created for the reader of the merger.

    diskutil createvolume logical volume group ID jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%

    10 command "diskutil cs type list" to check the resulting fusion drive created.

    12. There will be a step in the installation ask you if you want to configure as a new computer, or restore from a time machine previous backup. Make your own choices it accordingly.

    13 once OSX El Capitan has been installed and you have finished restoring the data and custom configurations, you can enter the application of preferences to check if you see the icon of the "Startup" disk", and if you choose Startup BootCamp in the next reboot, you should be able to boot up to Windows without pressing and holding the button option when reboot and choose to start windows manually. Also, in windows, you should be able to click on the bootcamp Control Panel and select for a startup to OSX on the next reboot.

    14. one thing to be aware, if you install bootcamp in this way, the boot camp and the GUI utility disk in OSX El Capitan will not be able to adjust your settings. This means, if you need to touch anything or to readjust the size of the partition, you will need to do it again in step A. Alternatively, some how to get started with installing Mac OSX Yosemite USB, then adjust the partitions using similar commands shown in this article or other articles in this community.

  • I can't delete my temporary files from the drive clean, I can't defragment all the c drive, what is my problem

    When I defragment it says that some files can not be defragmented, it said that it defragmate can't all drive c, when I do a disk clean up it only cleans and removes temporary internet files, empties the Recycle bin and compress old files. It dosnt take off web pages offline 9 k or 3 temporary files, 696 KB, or 32 KB of the temp of client/web publisher files.

    He used to do that before but not now and my computing needs a drive clean and defragment all the time more often when im doing something on my computer, it really goes slugish and plays and I have to close and clean the disk and defrag all too but its all just do not do the job.it has just started to do this what I can do to solve the problem.

    Thank you

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

    You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:
