Hi, i need help resizing an external HD. It's the HD where i keep some backups in one partition and the iTunes media folder in another. Now i need more space in the iTunes partition. I downsized the backup in disk utility but now it won't let me extend the iTunes partition when i try to drag it in the corner draggy thing.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

When you downsized the first one, did you hit apply and let it process before making the other one bigger?

Yeah. I left it alone for about half an hour. And when it was done scaling up the disc was a no go.

If you are on lion try holding command+r during boot up and running disk utility.

If not then, while booting hold the option key and you'll get a menu for selecting your boot drive. Throw in your original os x disc and boot off that. Run disk utility and see if it fixes your problem.

There should also be a hardware test partition on your original install disc that you can boot off and run to see if you bad RAM or something.

If all else fails make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in.

Thanks. I am on Lion and can access the recovery partition but running disk until didn't fix. I am also out of warranty and live in a country with no apple stores unfortunately.

I can boot fine from the Mountain Lion install that i have on an external HD if that gives anyone a clue.. Oh Well. I guess i will just have to restore as new and hope for the best.

Not mine. I walked into a friend's tattoo studio and he was having a fit over what happened to the boss's macbook. I told him "i can get the parts and fix that for you".
End result? close to 50% off in the japanese sleeve i am going to have done. Years of tinkering with macs finally paid off :D
