Mac OSX 10.11.5: Lack of 50 GB of hard drive space

A few months (maybe a year), I used Bootcamp to create a partition on my Mac Windows. Today, I decided to use Bootcamp to delete said partition again. It worked well until it abruptly stopped Bootcamp, saying: the partition could not be deleted. I looked at my memory and saw that the partition has not been restored to my original HD. So now, Miss me about 50 + gigabytes of data.

Here's what diskutil said.

Disk utility does not list the missing partition. I lost the 50 concerts for ever?

Hey Jeremiah-OOP.

It seems that you went to delete the Bootcamp partition, but the utility has failed during the process. Now in disk utility, the Bootcamp partition does not appear but your primary partition is always smaller and lack of space that used to be under the partition Bootcamp.

Let's take a look at this article: disk utility (El Capitan): partitioning a physical disk

Expand a 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.

WARNING: When you delete a volume, all data thereon is erased. Don't forget to back up your data before you start.

You may need to use disk utility to expand your primary volume to take advantage of all the hard drive again.

Take care!

  • How to configure my mac to always send pictures and music on an external hard drive?

    I have a desktop Mac that has limited memory.  I bought an external hard drive to store all my music, photos, and videos on.  How can I configure my mac while iPhoto and iTunes always point to the hard drive and save it (and not on the hard drive on my Mac)?

    • 1297cb HP P7: lack of response from the hard drive or windows 7 to my monitor help

      Greetings.  I have a HP P7 1297cb, all original material except the memory and hard drive.

      Original OS at home, is now Pro.
      I thought that my hard drive has expired and bought a new WD 2 TB black.
      And I don't have the other HDD cause I already threw out.

      So, here I am.   I installed the WD Black again and nothing.  Monitor powers and that's it.
      I get a hard drive light to everything first, about 5 to 10 seconds and off.  Touch HD and feels light low race.
      All fans and fees lights.  Power light on.

      No NumLock or number lock lights.  Œuvres and key/monitor / mouse, as I am with them now.

      Shot four sticks of 2 GB memory and get the beep.  One at a time plugged in no beeps and back in.
      You use a Windows 7 Pro disk rebuild for installation.  When the computer starts, I tried F10, F12 and nothing.
      I even pulled the mobo battery for a few seconds.
      I disconnected the power supply cord (pc) and held in the power button for about 30 seconds.
      I even turned on with the installation disc in and waited (until at least 20 minutes) to see if the screen would change nothing.
      I am willing to check the cpu, which remains the only thing to check, I'm guessing that about it.
      I get no beep or beeps when the pc starts.

      So, I guess also, that my problem was not the hard drive in the first place. ???
      Thanks in advance for any help.

      Hello;

      Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

      I don't know what a "Windows 7 Pro Rebuild disk'- so I don't know if it's any bootable media.

      Unless you changed the default device sequence in the start section of the configuration of the BIOS, it will look at the HDD FIRST and since it is empty, the PC will simply sit there - nothing to do.

      So, you must get to a boot device selection screen to boot from the DVD of Win7.

      The typical ways of doing are to press F9 or F12 - one of them will be implemented a unique boot device selection menu.  Then, you select the DVD drive and the PC should then restart.

      It can display a line of text at the top of the screen, something like «press any key to boot from...» "If Yes, press the space bar.

      If the DVD is good, the PC will then start on the initial screen for the installation of Windows.

      Good luck

    • So-called lack of cables but replaced hard drive

      Recently, I bought my Macbook Pro 2012 at an apple store because whenever I tried to start, it would show a gray screen with a folder that had an exclamation mark. My AppleCare expired so I expected to pay for everything that needed to be replaced. An employee at the Genius bar ran a test diagnoses and big red accommodations that says 'DEFAULT' appeared. He told me that my hard drive was a failure and should probably be replaced. It would cost $ 160, and all my data on the hard drive will have probably disappeared. I accepted reluctantly, because I need my laptop for work.

      Today, I went to pick up my laptop in a hurry and paid with my credit card, thinking that they did replace my hard drive. However, once I got home, I read the summary of repair of product they gave me and it seems that they only replaced the "ASSY BEFORE FLEX HDD BRKT J30" and the symptom was the defective cables. All my work earlier and data is always on the macbook, and it seems that they have not replaced my hard drive, but the cables. A quick Internet search shows that the only costs of cable around 50-60 dollars of switching. Am I missing something? Why me is billed another $160 for some cables and not a hard drive?

      We are not the Genius Bar.  To be sure you can ask them about possible additional labor costs, including the necessary removal and reinstallation of the original HD.  We are users could only guess at the exact reason.

    • Mini Mac server - attachment of external hard drives file transfer speed

      Hi guys!

      I wanted to increase the speed and storage capacity to transfer to my Mac mini file, so I bought a box of external hard drives. The one I bought is: http://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=219

      Built-in the Mac mini hard drives transfer the file to 60 MB/s (writing and reading) and I wanted to get better speed of file transfer, so I bought an SSD that is going to be inside with an another HARD drive of 3 TB for archiving my files. The housing is connected by USB3.0 (5 Gb/s) for the Mac mini.

      [SSD-> files I opened every day] - speed around 550 MB/s write and 500 MB/sec in reading

      [HDD-> Archives, files that I have does not open very often] - speed around 150 MB/s write and 150 MB/sec in reading

      So I did some benchmarks on my new Setup, and the speed is not really what I expected. Transfer of file max speed I have achieved is about 100 MB/sec in writing on the external SSD plugged into the mac mini. This transfer has been filed since an iMac 21 "2011 with an SSD (with almost the same speed read/write than the box) so it's quite disappointing.

      It is possible that the Mac has a 'file transfer speed limit' is somewhere? Or whatever else that could affect that?

      More information on my setup:

      Mac Mini server 2012 - 2 TB RAID 1 - Mac OSX 10.9.5

      iMac 21 "2011 - Crucial SSD 275 Gb - Mac OSX 10.9.4

      IcyDock external enclosure - 4 bays, USB3 5 Gb/s

      -Red WD HDD 3To

    • Hard drive MAC AIR died after 18 months

      Bought a Mac Air for my son 18 months ago. The hard drive needs to be replaced, and the estimate is $ 1000.00. May as well buy a new - very disappointing. Did this experiment with 3 computers HP laptop just out of warranty and decided to change to Apple. I bought 3 Macs in the last 2 years, now I'm very worried - is 18 month life can I expect from a Mac?

      The same thing happened to me! What happens to Apple products! I can't afford to replace them every 12 months, especially when it costs thousands!

    • If I remove the hard drive from my Mac book will find my Mac still works

      One of my buddies and ME are supporting it because im trying to say that if you remove the hard drive of a Macbook, find my Mac no longer works, even if you get a new hard drive and connect it to the Internet. He said, that it only stops working if it is not connected to the internet, and I know it's true, but I want to know if my theory is correct,

      If you remove the HD there is nothing to identify your Mac then FindMyMac.

      To use FindMyMac the Mac must be connected to the internet and FindMyMac must be enabled in system preferences > iCloud. This requires Mac be signed in iCloud.

    • Can I add another hard drive to my Mac Pro?

      End of 2013

      3.7 GHz quad core Xeon E5

      16 GB of ram

      500 GB Flash

      Ive run out of hard drive space. Can I add another flash drive or is it better to buy an external hard drive? If external which is more reliable Thunderbolt or USB 3?

      Go on everymac.com and find your model of Mac Pro for a good list of specifications and upgrade opportunities.

      I know "reliable." Limits of reliability are probably based on the envelope model and model also in car inside (not always easy to find) rather than the type of connection. Thunderbolt is probably faster but still a somewhat unusual connector to find so if you are looking for less cotly a USB3 will be cheaper and there will be more models available. Make sure you know that there is a reliable drive inside.

    • Organization of the photo to Mac for the external hard drive

      I recently had the Mac portable, Air and noticed that the iPhotos can organize my photos by location, date, etc.  I really like it and would like to get all my pictures in a folder like this.  I also really like the faces feature because I can attribute name tags to faces and then discovered just one person, if I want to.  How do I get all my photos that exceed the amount of my hard drive space Mac Air.

      It cannot be done in iPhoto, but you can easily create an iPhoto library on a disk external to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format and directly connected to your Mac.

    • Using a Mac to partition a USB external hard drive to use to start Windows 7 on a PC

      Hello

      My PC hard drive died recently, and I need to reinstall Windows 7. Fortunately, I have a Windows 7 .iso file on my Macbook Pro. I also have an external hard drive USB empty. I try to use the Mac (in particular the disk utility program) partition this hard drive and load the .iso file in it, with the intention to start the system and install Windows 7 on my PC. (NB. I have a new internal hard drive which I intend to install Windows on to, but it's something that I should be able to handle later and should not be relevant at the moment.)

      As my DVD player also decided to break (I had not used for a long time), I can't burn the .iso to disk image file and start that way.

      So my question is, what is actually in all possible ways to use my WD 500 GB external hard drive to boot Windows 7 from USB? If so, is it possible to configure the hard disk with the .iso image file using a mac? I think I need somehow do "bootable" my hard drive to boot from it, but I don't know how to do this using a mac, so that it will be compatible for Windows startup.

      I've had this problem for days now and nothing I try seems to work - I tried what seems like all combinations of formatting, partitioning, extracting, BIOS-set-up-ing and file-system-change I can think of. Any help will be really appreciated. Also, if you need information such as specifications, just let me know and I will try to provide all the details I can.

      In addition, I understand that there a lot of messages on the boot from external hard drives, but I looked carefully and found nothing for my situation (more precisely using a mac).

      Thanks in advance for help; If all goes well there is something obvious that I'm missing that I can fix it easily.

      Hi Michael,

      Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

      From your problem description, I understand you want to make bootable Windows 7 disk using Mac computer.

      About a tool to burn an iso image on Mac, I suggest you contact apple support.

      https://discussions.Apple.com/community/desktop_computers

      However, as a solution, I suggest to go to one of your friend who has the operating system windows download Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool and burn the iso image.

      Detailed suggestions are mentioned in the following article:

      http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

      I hope this helps. If the problem persists or all linked windows queries or issues related to the Windows operating system, please get back to us. We are here to help you.

    • Mac OSx Sierra Time Machine WD my cloud

      Since upgrading to Mac OSX Sierra my Macbook Pro and Macbook Air are not capable of doing Time Machine back Ups to a WD MyCloud drive that is connected to our router.

      We have updated the firmware on the WD My Cloud drive to the latest version and contacted WD on this problem, so far they have not come with a solution to the problem.

      If you open Time Machine preferences and then observe what happens, by hitting 'Back Up Now' systems do "Looking to save the disc" then "Preparing backup" then stop and then go back to the status of 'rest' without backup anything to the top at all. It is the same on both machines. You can see here: Time Machine Back Up My Cloud

      Notice how the drive icon changes to the point where it stops working and then goes to the other drive which is a USB.

      Now, to complicate the issue further... an iMac connected via Ethernet to the router can go back to the My Cloud drive perfectly as before. If Apple changed something with the wireless protocols I think but that?

      Hi stevefrompembury,

      Thanks for posting in the Community Support from Apple! I understand that your or your Mac back up Time machine since the update. Backups are certainly crucial to ensure that your data remains secure, so I'm happy to offer some suggestions.

      You have already tried a few milestones. I recommend you take a look through this article so that you have covered all the steps mentioned, including the section titled 'Control your readers': If you can not back up or restore your Mac with Time Machine

      See you soon!
