How can I get the 'free space' in my SSD back?

I tried to install windows via boot camp on my macbook air 2013 Wizard but I got an error during partitioning and restarting the laptop now I'm stuck with my Macintosh HD impossible to return to full capacity. So I tried to search the net to find answers, but I could not find. I have about 55 GB of free space, how could I get it back? I'm also on El Capitan. My ssd is 250 GB and macintosh that HD used to identify all 250 now it is stuck at 199 - ish. Thank you!

Have you tried to use Boot Camp Assistant to delete the partition that it created? If you do not, then you should give it a try. If instead you tried to solve it using disk utility, then you have garbaged s disk RDB. Either you can take a long time to find out how to solve this problem using the Terminal or you can clone your OS X volume to another disk using disk utility or Carbon Copy Cloner, boot from the clone, erase your internal drive, the clone of restoration on the internal drive, then restart your computer from the internal drive.

Step 1: Fix the hard disk and permissions

Boot from an OS X install disc

1. Insert the OS X installation disc into the optical drive.

2 restart the computer.

3. immediately after the ring, press and hold the C"" key.

4 release the button when the spinning gear under the Apple grey dark

logo appears.

5. wait for the installer to finish loading.

Boot from a recovery HD:

1. reboot the computer.

2. immediately after the ring, press and hold the

'ORDER' and the set of keys 'R '.

3. release the keys when appears the utilities Menu.

After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the button continue. When the menu bar appears, select disk utility from the menu of the Installer (the menu utilities for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard).

For Lion or later select disk utility in the main Menu of public services.

After disk utility loads select your entry from hard drive (to mfgr. ID and Player size) of the list on the left.  In the disk utility status area, you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is faulty or has failed. (State SMART is not reported on external drives Firewire or USB). If the drive is "verified", then select your OS X volume in the list on the left (subentries under the entry for the road), click the first aid tab, then click the repair disk button. If THE reports any errors that have been corrected, and then run repair disk again until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, click repair permissions. Wait until the operation is complete, then exit FROM and return to the installer.

If Disk utility reports errors, that it can not solve, then Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you do not have one of them or none of them can fix the disc, then you will need to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS X.

Second stage: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place of the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC , which is also a good supplier for the readers.

Step 3: boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the OPTION key until the Boot Manager appears.  Select the icon of the HD to the external hard drive recovery, and then click the arrow pointing down.

Fourth step: new preparation of the hard drive

1. open utility disk in the utility Main Menu, then click on the continue button.

2. the disk utility charges and then select your new hard drive (it's the entry with the)

MFGR. ID and size) from the list on the left. Note the SMART status of

the reader in the status area of THE.  If it says not "verified" and then the player

is failing or has failed and will need replacement.  Otherwise, click on the

Tab in the main window of the disk utility partition .

3. in the title of the Volume entitled plan defined the number of partitions from

the drop to one. Set the type of Mac OS Extended format

(Journaled). Click the Options button, set the partition scheme

GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition/apply button and

Wait until the process is completed.

4. Select the volume you just created (it's the auxiliary input under the)

entry by car) from the list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in THE MAIN

window.

5. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). Click on the

The button options , check the box for zero data and click OK to

return to the window to erase it.

6. click on the delete button. The formatting process can take up to several

hours depending on the size of the disk.

Fifth step: clone the old disk to the new disk

1. Select the destination volume in the list on the left.

2. click on the tab restore in the main window of THE.

3. check the box labeled destination Erase.

4. Select the destination volume in the left list and drag it to the

Destination entry field.

5. Select the volume of the source of the list on the left and drag it to the

Input source field.

7. check you correctly, then click on the restore button.

Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.

Step 6: open preferences Startup disk and select the new internal volume.  Click restart.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the disk and disconnect it from the computer.

    How can I get the free update to CS6 promised when I bought CS 5.5 student edition?  I bought 5.5 right before 6 is out and part of the package was that the upgrade was free when 6 is out.

  • How can I erase the free space between content and footer?

    Reviewing a site of Muse, I removed some content from one of the pages and revised content that remained on the page. Now, I have an empty area between the top of the foot of page and revised content, and I can't seem to get rid of the empty space. It does not appear that there are blocks of text or other images in this area, so I can't find all the objects to delete. Help?

    The site is currently published in project to review the customer mode. You can look at it in the: http://page7creative.com/clients/coremove_jun2012draft/retreats.html. The page in question is retirees. Restart the Muse made no difference. I'm working on the Mac platform.

    Before I sent this message, I decided to try to create a new page, copy and paste the contents to the new page, then save the Muse site under a different name. And here, the page (and site) works as it should... without any extra space above the footer on this page. It seems that something is missing when I deleted the content of this page. Can I use the new page for the site work properly, but decided to go ahead and send this message so that you can look at the code of the page and maybe see what is the problem that is causing the empty space... in case that I'll never meet that again.

    Thank you.

    pyxis83

    Thank you for sending your file.

    There is a chart at the bottom of the content area of the retirees page that is cropped to a size of zero width and 2 pixels in width.

    Unfortunately, there is a bug with pointer tool drag selection (aka brand) that prevents an item selection that has zero width or height of zero. This is why the best way to select this option to remove must choose any other element on the page, and then press tab repeatedly to scroll all the items on the page. When you get to this point, you should see a small bunch of selection handles on the left edge of the third column and at the bottom of the content area. The width and height will be displayed under zero and 2. Delete this and the page will be resized according to the remaining content.

  • How can I get the engine move TETRIX VI is back?

    I bought LabVIEW Education Edition 2009 earlier to use with TETRIX for my class. I have since installed LabVIEW 2011, 2013, 2014, and 2015 for FRC teams that I coached. Recently, I tried to reprogram my TETRIX (using NXT) kit, but the VI, I need to order the engines is missing (see screenshot). When I try to install only the Module of NXT from the 2009 original installation DVD, I get the following error:

    OR LabVIEW 2009 LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Module

    Could not install
    LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT x 64 Driver (already installed higher version)
    OR LabVIEW 2009 LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Module (already installed higher version)

    I hesitate to uninstall all other versions of LabVIEW because of the code of the team. Any suggestions for how I can control my TETRIX components again? See you soon.

    Hi izetetic,

    I don't know why screw has disappeared from your NXT Module. You can uninstall only the NXT Module and then reinstall?

    If this does not work, you can use a more recent version of the Module NXT, now called the MINDSTORMS Module, for a more recent version of LabVIEW: http://www.ni.com/download/labview-nxt-module-2015/5418/en/ . Since you have already installed LabVIEW, this comes for free.

    In versions 2010 and beyond, you must configure the TETRIX engines using the schema editor and then use the IO > engine pallet to program the engines.

    I "lost" the driver for my HP Photosmart printer.  The previous responses indicated that free recovery disks are possible.   If so, how?

    Recovery discs are for the recovery of the computer rather than a printer and can usually be obtained from the manufacturer of the computer, usually with a small handling.  For a printer, you can simply go to the HP support site and download the software and drivers (if they have several options, select "Full Feature software and drivers") http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    You need to speak with the seller who sold you the product.  They are the ones who will get the free updates, if warranted.  It is not made by Microsoft unless it was purchased directly from Microsoft.  If this is the case, after back and I know what the process is doing for you.

  • How can I get the amount of free disk space using the space using windows 7 Please share example using GetDiskSpace

    How can I get the amount of disk space by using windows 7 Please share example using GetDiskSpace I already studied http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9958B8E473C4EF1786256BBC0053B64F

    Reading your question a little more in detail, I doubt if you are using the Win32 GetDiskFreeSpace API function (including my previous post is the solution) of the function GetDiskSpace from the Toolbox of the programmer.

    With respect to the other, it works even with capacity greater than 2 GB disks, but you must use the appropriate formatting code to display the returned value. I updated my example to display the total of free space in the debug output window and added a comparison with the value of 3 GB using UInt64TypeCompareUInt box to tools programming interface.
