Re: mac partition questiohn

[E.T.]

   Your problems started with Bootcamp so its only common sense to 
backtrack there and see if you can undo the damage. If no joy there,. 
again, open Disk Utility and navigate to the partition area.

Again though if you have boot camp setup correctly then under disk

Re: mac partition questiohn

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

The error may have popped up, but the initial partitioning process must have 
began and that's why you don't have that space available.  No, doing this in 
Terminal will not allow you to remove the Recovery Partition.  the only time 
you'd have the ability to do that would be when you start up from a different 
MacOS such as a USB stick or external USB drive.

Later...

voiceover usage.

  Still workable if you take the time to learn it.

but that would explain why I am having a hell of a time with the disk

should I try to find a older version of OSX and make a bootable copy of

the partition for recovery is not large, approx. 1 gig if that.
But the best way to see this is to have a USB bootable installer and start the

 Note disk utility in high sierra sierra and elcapitan are not great for

RE: mac partition questiohn

[Simon Fogarty]

If your machine is an older machine with as you say a 250GB drive,

 Then go into your bootcamp and undo what you've done.

If you don't have windows installed then you wont lose anything,
If you have then removing what ever partition or windows installation you have 
will be lost.


Again though if you have boot camp setup correctly then under disk utility  
then you should see a bootcamp partition as a second volume on the drive.

Hi,

To clarify.  What's likely happened here is that when you attempted 
to create the BootCamp partition, something went wrong.  Obvious, I 
know, but it needs to be said first.  So, you now have the Macintosh 
HD partition using up half the space of the 250 GB drive and the rest 
is unallocated space.  As Janina mentioned, distil in Terminal is 
your best option.  Since you have a MacBook and you're running High 
Sierra, the drive will be formatted as APFS which makes the distil 
command set slightly different than if it was a spinner drive.  "What 
you'll want to do is first determine a few facts about the drive and 
it's allocations, then you should be able to expand the Macintosh HD 
to use up the remaining free space and, thus, regain all the space 
that the 250 GB drive has to offer.


Actually, the first thing to do is to make sure that you have a 
backup of your data incase of problems.  There's not likely to be 
any, but as soon as I say that, there probably will be.  The commands 
that you need to consider are:


• distil list (this will list all the volumes on your drive and 
outline their format/size etc)
• distil apfs (this will list the available commands under the apfs 
volume set)
• distil apfs resizeVolume (is likely the command you'll need to 
regain the free space)


Note, arguments like resizeVolume are case sensitive.  Also, be sure 
to do the backup first as you don't want to lose you stuff.  Usually, 
the system won't let you destroy things without either warning you or 
just not allowing you to perform the action, but you never know.  You 
also may need to perform some of these actions from the Recovery 
Partition, but, I believe that you really should be able to 
non-destructively resize the Macintosh HD volume without too much 
headache from within Terminal.


Later...

Which means that you're using apfs, which is a whole new ball of wax.
It's not even that clearly explained anywhere that I've found between

diskutil is the best tool, promise.

the best when run in Terminal, which is the native way to do this.

Note that diskutil is not the same as the application called Disk
Utility in the Utilities folder.

I believe I previously sent you a pointer about this?

RE: mac partition questiohn

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi tim,

Can I just point out that apple don't or haven't for quite a number of years 
used 250 gig drives.

 250 gig drives were used back in like 2008 mac book pro and mac book devices 
they were the HDD spindal drives.

 Ssds are 256 gig from apple now.

I think if we get the serial number from wolfs machine and check it in the 
likes of mac tracker it would give us the correct information.

 The drive to me says it's a 128gig drive,
Not a 250 like he believes.

Hi,

To clarify.  What's likely happened here is that when you attempted to create 
the BootCamp partition, something went wrong.  Obvious, I know, but it needs to 
be said first.  So, you now have the Macintosh HD partition using up half the 
space of the 250 GB drive and the rest is unallocated space.  As Janina 
mentioned, distil in Terminal is your best option.  Since you have a MacBook 
and you're running High Sierra, the drive will be formatted as APFS which makes 
the distil command set slightly different than if it was a spinner drive.  
"What you'll want to do is first determine a few facts about the drive and it's 
allocations, then you should be able to expand the Macintosh HD to use up the 
remaining free space and, thus, regain all the space that the 250 GB drive has 
to offer.

Actually, the first thing to do is to make sure that you have a backup of your 
data incase of problems.  There's not likely to be any, but as soon as I say 
that, there probably will be.  The commands that you need to consider are:

• distil list (this will list all the volumes on your drive and outline their 
format/size etc) • distil apfs (this will list the available commands under the 
apfs volume set) • distil apfs resizeVolume (is likely the command you'll need 
to regain the free space)

Note, arguments like resizeVolume are case sensitive.  Also, be sure to do the 
backup first as you don't want to lose you stuff.  Usually, the system won't 
let you destroy things without either warning you or just not allowing you to 
perform the action, but you never know.  You also may need to perform some of 
these actions from the Recovery Partition, but, I believe that you really 
should be able to non-destructively resize the Macintosh HD volume without too 
much headache from within Terminal.

Later...

Which means that you're using apfs, which is a whole new ball of wax.
It's not even that clearly explained anywhere that I've found between it's

but if you can only see one partition under the disk partition when in disk 
utility and if you see what the partition is named, it should have a size in 
the label of the physical drive / partition level that is the top most level of 
the drive.

RE: mac partition questiohn

[Simon Fogarty]

No your miss reading it.

Total size is 124.9 or in binary 128 gig 

You have 25 gig used and 99 gig available.

Making a 124.9 gig drive.

 Is your drive an ssd or hdd?

If it's an ssd then you wont have a 250 gig drive you'll have a 256  gig drive,

If you had an HDD then 250 gig is more possible 
But I think you will find that you only have a 128 gig drive.
124.9 is what it computes to in decimal.

Hi ET,

 I think he's missing 128 gig from his drive,

He said the drive was recording 124 give or take a gig,
 Then he had 99gb used,
 With available 27 or so 
And 120 something pergible 

It sounds very much to me like the drive is only 128 ssd.

Hi!
I think you have to resize or re-partition the mac and start over.
That’s the easiest solution.

Hi,

To clarify.  What's likely happened here is that when you attempted to create the 
BootCamp partition, something went wrong.  Obvious, I know, but it needs to be said 
first.  So, you now have the Macintosh HD partition using up half the space of the 
250 GB drive and the rest is unallocated space.  As Janina mentioned, distil in 
Terminal is your best option.  Since you have a MacBook and you're running High 
Sierra, the drive will be formatted as APFS which makes the distil command set 
slightly different than if it was a spinner drive.  "What you'll want to do is 
first determine a few facts about the drive and it's allocations, then you should be 
able to expand the Macintosh HD to use up the remaining free space and, thus, regain 
all the space that the 250 GB drive has to offer.

Actually, the first thing to do is to make sure that you have a backup of your 
data incase of problems.  There's not likely to be any, but as soon as I say 
that, there probably will be.  The commands that you need to consider are:

• distil list (this will list all the volumes on your drive and outline their 
format/size etc)
• distil apfs (this will list the available commands under the apfs volume set)
• distil apfs resizeVolume (is likely the command you'll need to regain the 
free space)

Note, arguments like resizeVolume are case sensitive.  Also, be sure to do the 
backup first as you don't want to lose you stuff.  Usually, the system won't 
let you destroy things without either warning you or just not allowing you to 
perform the action, but you never know.  You also may need to perform some of 
these actions from the Recovery Partition, but, I believe that you really 
should be able to non-destructively resize the Macintosh HD volume without too 
much headache from within Terminal.

Later...

Which means that you're using apfs, which is a whole new ball of wax.
It's not even that clearly explained anywhere that I've found between

diskutil is the best tool, promise.

Actually, the first thing to do is to make sure that you have a backup of your 
data incase of problems.  There's not likely to be any, but as soon as I say 
that, there probably will be.  The commands that you need to consider are:

• distil list (this will list all the volumes on your drive and outline their 
format/size etc)
• distil apfs (this will list the available commands under the apfs volume set)
• distil apfs resizeVolume (is likely the command you'll need to regain the 
free space)

Note, arguments like resizeVolume are case sensitive.  Also, be sure to do the 
backup first as you don't want to lose you stuff.  Usually, the system won't 
let you destroy things without either warning you or just not allowing you to 
perform the action, but you never know.  You also may need to perform some of 
these actions from the Recovery Partition, but, I believe that you really 
should be able to non-destructively resize the Macintosh HD volume without too 
much headache from within Terminal.

Later...

Re: mac partition questiohn

['Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries]

What you're missing is the way Apple does the math.

Your available storage space is being dynamically allocated between what
is actually used and what's still available for use by Mac or some other
installation, like BootCamp. At least, that's what apfs is doing.

['Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries]

You need to learn to use diskutil from the command line. This is best
accomplished by ssh into the Mac from another machine, because you're
more likely to get good screen reader support that way. Voice Over isn't
the best when run in Terminal, which is the native way to do this.

Note that diskutil is not the same as the application called Disk
Utility in the Utilities folder.

I believe I previously sent you a pointer about this?

RE: mac partition questiohn

[Simon Fogarty]

Is this an SSD or a spindal harddrive?

 If your computer using the Get Info option gives yo a total drive size of 
124gb then  then to me that would say your drive is a 128GB ssd 

 But if you open your disk utilities and find the internal drive you should be 
able to see what if any partitions are created on the drive

RE: mac partition questiohn

[Simon Fogarty]

If you go in to computer and find your harddrive or possibly Macintosh hd,
And do a get info, command key I gives you get info,
Then work your way through and find the size and storage useage of your drive.

Unless you have a lot of stuff being stored on your drive then something sounds 
wrong.

Re: mac partition questiohn

[The wolf]

your not getting it

my hard drive is 250 gigs total

125 gigs out of that 250 gigs is the main mac partition

so you take 250 minus 125
and you are left with 125 gigs that are not showing up
let me know if this doesn't make any sense and I can try to explain it
