MacBook :: Can't Erase USB Data
Jan 7, 2010Every time I try to erase music from my USB Key or Phone.
You can see that the music or files have been erased, but it doesnt free up and space. When you pop the USB Key into the stereo or play music on the phone, all the files are there.
I have to go through the Disk Utility option to erase stuff, but this erases everything. When you erase on the PC, everything is fine.

MacBook Air :: How To Erase Data To Make Space Available To Reinstall Mac OS X Lion
Mar 13, 2012My MB Air is not booting (I get the ever gray Apple logo screen with the spinning wheel, and nothing happens) Following instructions I found online, I tried the disk utility repair disk and permissions and, apparently, there's nothing wrong. Still, the system won't boot!Â
I'm now trying to reinstall Mac OS X Lion, but the system requires about 0.5 GB of additional free disk space to install!Â
Is there anyway I can access the OS terminal screen (command line interface), so I may delete a few files, creating additional disk space?Â

OS X :: Will Resizing Partitions Erase Data
Sep 19, 2009I have a 700 GB external HD with a 349 GB MacOSX Extended (Journaled) partition, and a 349 GB FAT32 Partition.
I need to shrink the FAT32 partition to make room for another smallish HFS+ partition so that I can back up my virtual machine (around 30 GB). My question is whether resizing the FAT32 partition in Disk Utility will harm the data in either of my existing partitions. I understand Leopard to have an on-the-fly partitioning ability, but I wasn't sure whether this applied only to certain file systems.
I am running OSX 10.5.8.
Intel Mac :: Erase Data From It Before Selling It?
Apr 20, 2012I have a mid-2007 20" iMac, 250 GB hard drive, 4 GB memory, and it runs Lion.I understand I will have to reboot the computer with Snow Leopard, since Lion is non-transferrable, but do I do this after I've deauthorized iTunes and done a 35-pass wipe of the hard drive?Also, do you recommend that I add biogradable peanuts to the inside of the box (I have the original) before shipping it, or are the Apple-provided styrofoam bumpers that fit on each corner sufficient? It's going USPS to a military base overseas.

Dec 29, 2010I need to repair my hard drive but the Disk Utility won't work.
I found out that I can insert the disk it came with and install the OSX and then run disk utility and do the repair.[I think it's called doing a clean install]
So I insert my disk and try and install the OSX and it's telling me I need to erase everything on my computer and then I can install it because there's a newer version on OSX on it.
[My MBP is 2 years old so I think I have Leopard or Snow Leopard]
Is there any way I do it without having to erase everything?
If I do end up having to erase everything would it be possible to put it all on my Seagate, that currently is holding stuff from my PC? How do I do that?
