• iMac won't turn. Startup disk is full. TDM won't let me edit.

  iMac won't turn. Startup disk is full. TDM won't let me edit.

  My iMac turns off 10 seconds after the start to the top. I tried repair disk running, to no avail. What is happening is because my boot drive is full, off the 500 GB I partitioned in mac, 493,63 GB is taken up. I bought a thunderbolt cable to access the TOC on my mac book, and I have access to my files now. The problem is that I can only copy files. Authorities say I read and write permissions. When I start my host computer, it says "you can still open or copy the files on the disk, but you cannot save changes to the files on the disc. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can. "I'm trying to copy all my files on this computer and remove what I don't want copies, then reinstall OSX on my iMac. The problem is that some files are native to all OSX, so it would prevent me from copying the files. For example, if I want to copy my applications folder, it stops to copy once it reached the app store, because it cannot copy that. It is a problem because when it comes to the library, there are small files in there that I don't know if I can copy, then it stops at the copy and I end up with half of my files and I don't know what I need and what I have.

  Everything you need to copy the disk, then start the iMac in recovery (command-R) mode. Wipe the drive and reinstall OS X from the recovery console.

• Run the utilities from disk on machine with Yosemite Snow Leopard startup disk?

  I have a 2009 imac that came with Snow Leopard. I've since updated my OS to Yosemite. Should I run the disc from my old snow leopard startup disk utilities or is it a bad idea?

• Unable to overcome error - "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

  Hello!

  I'm trying to install Windows on my iMac (late 2013, running 10.11.6) without success.  I created the ISO to a flash drive, but when I try to use the Assistant Boot camp, I am referred to the following screen:

  

  I did my best to study solutions. The cause, by apple support discussions, is that there is another partition of pre-empting (stop) the wizard boot camp partitioning the hard drive.  I studied the partitions on my HDD after unplugging all devices and found this:

  

  This shows the main partition: Macintosh HD, the bootcamp partition: BOOTCAMP; and 2 unknown partitions: "Apple HDD ST100DM003 Media" and the same * M004.  I was able to delete the first Apple ST100DM003 HARD disk partition and ran first aid on the fusion drive after that the second he would not remove.  Also, I can't delete the boot camp partition.  I keep getting the same message when I try to install windows on a partition of the fuser unit using Boot Camp Assistant - "Startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition".

  Any suggestions?

• Uninstall the bootcamp partition: the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

  A few months ago, I created a Windows 8 bootcamp partition, and then, I updated for Windows 10 without any problem. But I no longer need and I would attribute this space to OS X. The problem is when I try to remove it from the app of Bootcamp, I get this message: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted in a single volume in Mac OS extended (journaled) or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows. »

  You have an idea? Thanks for the help.

  I finally solved it. It seems that I had a not mounted partition which it has not been used. I removed it and it solved all the problems:

• Repair your startup disk Bootcamp disappearing after you create the new partition

  . After some research, I found that it was the way forward to create a separate partition, and so I did another partition.

  I didn't know it would affect my Windows partition that I thought it was completely different.

  So now, when I start it up, there is no option to start with Windows. But when I boot the Mac and select Startup disk, it displays Boot Camp is still there, and all my files etc. are still there.

  I tried to create one separate partition (other than Bootcamp). After that its done and I started my computer, I found that the option to boot Windows (Bootcamp startup disk) has disappeared. But I still see boot camp Mac files. Any solution for this? Thank you.

  (I tried to find this solution on the discussion Forum, and I found: repair Boot Camp after having created the new partition, however, I'm not able to follow these instructions. any help would be appreciated)

• Bootcamp error: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition" and Windows recovery partitions

  I have Setup with Bootcamp Windows 8 and then upgrade to Windows 8.1, and then upgrade to Windows 10.

  When I want to restart the training camp that I got the error message: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

  According to this page, it is because of Windows recovery partitions added during the 8 to 8.1 migration and 8.1 to 10.

  Is it a good idea to remove these partitions? If yes how?

  2. you are trying to install a new copy of the W10 or remove the existing installation?

  3. do you have the W8 or installation/upgrade W8.1 had problems before the upgrade of the W10?

• Installation of WIN98SE on Portege P3490 without sufficient startup disk

  Hello
  I have a Portege P3490 with an external CD ROM drive. The CD-ROM drive is connected through a PCMCIA card / Cabel to the laptop. Unfortunately, I don't have any software for the laptop and the external CD ROM drive. Now, I would like to install WIN98SE, but the CD-ROM drive is not recognized by the WIN98 startup disk. Anyone have an idea how I can install WIN98SE with this external CD ROM drive? Is a special boot disk available?
  Thanks much for any help!
  Best regards
  Maximilian

  Hmmm on the Toshiba driver page I found a Recovery Boot Disk for Portege 3490.
  It is an exe file. Have you tried it?
  In addition, there is also a companion disk.

  The accompanying disk is capable of detecting your CD-ROM drive on the Toshiba computer during the boot process. If you need access to your CD-ROM drive, then remove the word "rem" out the following lines in the Autoexec. BAT and CONFIG. SYS on the accompanying disk.

  REM if exist toscd001 a:\mscdex D:TOSCD001 /M:10 (AUTOEXEC. BAT)

  REM device = a:\toscdrom.sys (CONFIG. (SYS)

• 10.6.8 startup disk System Prefs does not route El Capitan

  I have a mid 2011 13 "MacBook Pro ("MBP").

  It worked 10.6.8

  I use SuperDuper to backup bootable external hard drive to the top.

  I have the 10.6.8 cloned system and it is bootable from an external Lacie Rugged Triple HD, connected via Firewire.

  I installed 10.11.3 on the MBP and it works fine.

  I need to boot from the 10.6.8 backup to access some files and that worked fine.

  When this 10.6.8 HD is connected via Firewire to the MBP shows up in startup disk options while it is started from 10.11.3

  But, now I want to reboot of HD in MBP 10.11.3 can't do running.

  When the startup disk is open when running 10.6.8 from the external hard drive the internal drive in the MBP 10.11.3 running does not appear as an option to restart the system.

  Y at - there a trick to getting the HD 10.11.3 appears in the startup disk?

  If not, if I just stopped the MBP and then remove the external hard drive, the MBP starts its internal HD with 10.11.3, despite the fact that I am not able to select it from the boot disk before you stop? /

  Thanks for any help in advance.

  This is because in SystemPreferences-> StartupDisk disc is not set how you want to start.

  To avoid this kind of situation when the two BONES are connected:

  Hold down the Alt (option) key during startup: it will open the "bootmenu": choose the OS disk to use.

• Issue of startup disk

  I'm on an iMac (2010) running OSX El Capitan (10.11.2).  I only did turn El Capitan for a little more than a month, leap to OSX Mountain Lion.

  My hard drive is partitioned into two parts.  A single partition (HD Mac) works El Capitan, the other (Mac HD 2) short snow leopard.  I need to Snow Leopard for some financial software older which is not supported by a newer operating system.  I'm back from the partitions back at the start of the disc in system preferences, where both discs appeared always when I was running Mountain Lion, regardless of what disc I used actively desired.

  Here's my problem.  Yesterday, I had to use Snow Leopard.  I opted for Mac HD 2 without any problems.  After finishing my work, I opened system preferences and clicking the startup disk icon.  But opening the startup disk window, my HD Mac Player wasn't there, the only systems showing was one I used, Mac HD, more network boot.  This is NOT how things worked when I was running Mountain Lion.

  I opened and closed system without any changes and then rebooted the Mac HD preferences 2 but still not able to get Mac HD appears as a boot disk as possible.  I finally tried to restart using network boot.  After a LONG pause, my computer has rebooted and is now back on Mac HD.

  Any ideas why my Mac HD system is no longer appears in the startup disk when I switch to Snow Leopard?  That's just how El Capitan works, and I should just continue to restart the network to get HD Mac to open?  Or is there a change I can do so that I can get Mac HD displays in system preferences I'm browsing the HD 2?

  I need to use the financial software today and am a little nervous that I won't be able to return to my main drive when I finished.  I would really appreciate any ideas/tips that anyone of you could have on this issue.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Don't know why the startup disk preference do not have or did not see both of your boot Images... ?

  FWIW, the startup disk preference is more for the implementation of the cold boot disk, that is for switching between multiple drives.

  You should really use the Boot Manager to choose restart from the Apple Menu and then hold down the Option (Alt) key on the carillon. Then once you are in the Boot Manager will give you the start time of any other available boot drive option.

• Backups taking over 130 GB of 160 GB, getting 'Startup Disk Full' and the computer does not. Help!

  I fight for free space on one of my older iMacs work and I am to the point that we cannot use it because the startup disk is full.  I've recently upgraded to Snow Leopard OSX Lion (10.7.5) so I could update our video editing software, Adobe Premier.

  We run all our video projects on external hard drives, which does not have the boot disk space and are always good on the erasure of files from the Recycle Bin, audio, photo and video so that they are not get bogged down.  About this Mac shows my 160 GB boot drive contains 8.87 GB Audio, 7.69 GB, 6,49 Photos GB movies, 6.58 GB Apps and a huge 129.34 GB of backups.  I have time Machine backed up on an external hard drive and can't seem to find out where these files are to be removed from the startup disk.

  Turn off time Machine and restart does not clear space.  I have even made the Terminal kill command no matter what auto backups, deleted device and old library version in iTunes, etc.  and I have no backup label appears when I bring up the screen of star wars of the time Machine. I went through so many stages and suggestions to get this machine working again.  I understand these backups are supposed to remove themselves automatically, but why are there still first place if I save on the outside?

  PS I'm not very computer savvy, but I know my way around.  Additional suggestions are appreciated - please let me know if I need to provide more information.

• BootCamp not appearing player is not in the startup disk.

  Just today, I noticed that my bootcamp drive does not appear in the startup disk in system preferences. I use 10.11 El Capitan. However, I was able to boot both of the OS by pressing 'option '. And also disk utility does not show the bootcamp partition. But in the finder, it shows the partition. When I try in recovery mode disk utility, here it shows the bootcamp partition. But not in OS X.

  And finally, 'get info' when I try and guess what: it shows the last open: January 1, 1970, at 05:30. which is never true.

  Is this problem of OS X, how do I do?

  

  You can try to run first aid by using disk utility. I would start on the recovery drive to do.

  Restart the computer and hold command-R

  Also, once you have repaired the disk in the recovery drive, quit disk utility, then leave OS X Utilities and select "Choose Startup disk." See if the Windows partition appears here.

  Good luck
