El capitan | disk utility: 'format' is missing

Dear mac'ommunity.

You also have 'format' missing from disk on the new el capitan utility?

I wanted to fix my external drive. with googleling I discovered, I have to 'clear' the external drive and rename it. After that I should click on 'format' to set the password. but where?

need your help! Thank you!!!

The format of the volume is selected to delete. Click on the clear button, and then choose a format. If you want to specify a password encrypted options, for example OS X Extended (journaled, Encrypted). You will then need to choose a password.

  • In El Capitan disk utility doesn't resize

    Hi all

    I tried to resize (external) hard drive partitioned with the renewed drive to El Capitan utility.

    It was a disappointing experience.

    What happened with the councelling software? It's anything but councelling.

    My 2 TB drive was divided into 2 partitions, data and Time Machine two 1 TB. As already mentioned, it is an external drive, because internal 500 GB SSD is not enough. Some entries in this support site suggest that disk utility works best if you start from a USB key, but I'm sure that's not necessary when you want to repartition a drive non-bot.

    I wanted to make the Time Machine smaller partition (because it safeguards only a small part of the internal SSD, 1 TB is too). After a while, I discovered that this could be done by dragging a small circle in the size you want. So far so good, after application of THE reduced my Partition of Time Machine.

    After a while it was over and I tried to enlarge the data partition. This was not possible. "Slide" was on the wrong side, it could be used to reduce the data partition (and it was almost impossible to touch and not fear..) After a while, I discovered that the free space, I thought I created was actually a new partition. Delete this partition automatically enlarged the partition of Time Machine to its original size. I tried everything I could, but there is no way (I found) I could do this work.

    I use the disk from the command line utility to achieve what I wanted.

    Sorry, but "What you thought Apple?". This isn't what I expect of you. Please, please, deport Mr. Ivy and hire someone who knows that "beautiful!" = good job. "

    TJA Walter,

    Apple is niet alleen gebruikers yesterday.

    I would friends groot mensen: when I merdere partities would is dat 'gemodder' met cirkel irritating en niet erg appreciated.

  • Disk utility will not let me click on the partition.

    I've updated to El Capitan, disk utility since refuses to let me click on partition.

    Accidentally, I partitioned my disk flash before I updated and so I need to cancel, because now I have 200 MB of storage on it.

    I tried using terminal but I have been unable to fix this way, too.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Thank you

    Make sure that all your files are backed up. Accidents happen and I'd hate for you to lose all data.

    Are you trying to repartition the boot disk? If I understand correctly, your hard disk is currently partitioned, and you need to recover a single correct hard drive?

    You can't repair the disk hard while you use the hard disk. To get the partition on a single disk, boot from the recovery disc.

    Restart the computer and press immediately on and hold command-R until you see a loading bar, and then release the keys. Once the recovery disc starts, choose your language (if it asks you to) and then again open disk utility. Now, select your hard drive and delete the extra partition. It should tell you "this will not affect your files...". "but if he says that you will lose all data, STOP. Make sure that you remove the extra partition without data on this subject. I'm guessing that it's called "Untitled 1" or something that affects unless you named it something different.

  • disk space disk utility

    I'm really getting fed up with the OS x team. They killed another great utility in El Capitan "disk utility". Now it won't let me create disk or partition of any player images. It gives me the following error:

    "(null)" doesn't have enough available space to create the 'Home' disc image file Choose a different volume at least 125,49 GB of available disk space to continue.

    I intended to create the image of the score by one user profile (the user was not logged) on 2.7 TB of free space on the drive connected locally. I also tried a different destination drive (SSD) with about 300 GB of free space with the same result.

    Anyone seen this before? All solutions?

    They are really kill this great OS. If they continue to do so, I will give up this ecosystem in the same way I did with Microsoft 10 years.

    Some time ago, they said they're going with OSX UI to iOS. If that's true, then I better start watching another OS until they completely freeze my workflow.

    Great job Apple!

    Just because you don't know what you do does not mean that there is a problem with disk utility.

    Disk utility (El Capitan): partitioning a physical disk

    'Expand volume '.

    If you have several volumes on a device, and one of them is running out of space, you will be able to expand without losing the files it contains.

    To enlarge a volume, you must delete the volume that comes after him on the device, and then move the end point of the volume you want to enlarge in the freed space. You cannot expand the last volume on a device. »

  • Disk utility finds several files and folders after formatting external hard drive

    It is somewhat an Enigma to me. I bought an external hard drive that I wanted to use to store my Time Machine backups. I formatted in Mac OS extended (journaled case-sensitive) without any problems, however, I noticed that disk utility indicated that I had 18 and 59 files (space used = 448,1 Mb)!  I ejected the disc, it reconnected and utility found 64-19 records to disc now! How is that possible? What is going on?  I used the 'diskutil list' command on the Terminal, and I found the following:

    / dev/disk2

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 500,1 disk2

    1: disk2s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

    2: Apple_HFS disk2s2 backup 499,8 Gb

    I see there are 2 partitions, even if I made a partition during formatting of the drive.  I don't know if this 'normal' or if I'm doing something wrong. I would be very happy any help you can give! Thank you very much!

  • Formatting disk with disk utility.

    I can't have the "Score" button to activate (see photo). I need to reformat a drive in GUID. THE don't let me. Please help me. Thank you.

    Just use Erase. It will set the table to partition and wipe the drive. If you then need to divide the disk, you can use the partition tab.

    Disk utility partitions no long MBR disks. I think diskutil in the Terminal will always do, however.

  • Windows 8.1 with Bootcamp installed in El Capitan. Do not delete with Bootcamp so I used the disk utility. Now, Windows always tries to start with an error, the 'other' space illustrates.

    Long story short, I installed windows 8.1 using Bootcamp, went very well. I was just curious how it would go.

    in any case, tonight, I decided to delete the Windows partition (Bootcamp Partition), and I got an error in Bootcamp that says "sorry couldn't do Mac OS partition a new»

    With that I went to the disk utility and tried to partition the disk on a partition again, which it did, but now I have 40 GB of "other space". I literally have nothing stored on this computer, until I installed Windows 8.1 which was not there.

    Also, when I start it up I always get Windows start first if I do not hold Option, then it goes to the blue screen, obviously because he's not here.

    To solve both, the easiest and safest method is

    1 backup OSX and all of your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

    2. boot into Internet recovery (CMD + Opt + R) - OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support .

    3. click on Utilties-> disk utility and erase your entire internal drive.

  • Disk utility cannot create image

    I am trying to create a new disk image encrypted to store sensitive files I get only when I need to use them/it.

    I can't get the disk utility to create a new image.  I use "File" > "New Image" > "Blank Image...". "If I leave all the settings in the pop missed up I get the error:"the operation failed with the State-5000.

    Ideally, I want to create an image that I will eventually burn on DVD; If I change the settings:

    "image Format" = ' CD/DVD Master '.

    "size:" = "4.6 GB (DVD-R DVD - RAM).

    "encryption:" = "128-bit AES encryption (recommended).

    I get the error: "the operation failed with the State 13.

    Anyone know what these errors?

    The volume I am creating the image is using safe.

    As far as I know,-5000 is the OS X value for a permissions access error. Check the location where you want to store your image is writable, and also there is enough free space. Try to create a smaller image to see if the free space is the problem. It might be interesting to try and 'first aid' on the right if the target disk.
