Re: how to wipe my entire Mac drive including all partitions?
1. Boot from the external drive and launch Disk Utility. 2. Interact with the table, choose the very first item which is the disk itself, then stop interacting. 3. Select the partition tab. 4. In the layout pop-up button, choose 1 partition or however many partitions you require. 5. Click options button and make sure guid is selected. Click ok button. 6. Click apply button. Click partition button. Hope this helps.

Re: how to wipe my entire Mac drive including all partitions?
Ok. Have you tried doing a disk verify and or disk repair on the disk itself? This can be done within the first aid tab. This may require booting from an external drive.

Re: how to wipe my entire Mac drive including all partitions?
Kliphton Senior is having the same issues with partitioning as I am experiencing. In terms of accessibility the partitioning panel is a joke. Scratch that, partitioning on the Mac in general is a joke when using the internal hard drive.

Re: how to wipe my entire Mac drive including all partitions?
Actually I have no issues. All I do isboot in to the bootable mavericks install, choose the root, that is the top level of the drive, choose partition and choose 1. it's done and takes for me about 2 minutes to partition a 250 gig drive. It really is easy and is very much doable. I say you had something corrupted someware and you need to redu your boot disk. Take care.

adding friends to custom lists Facebook
Hi guys, I'm trying to add Facebook friends to custom lists I've made. So far, it's doable but super slow, Facebook has given me tons of accessibility crap with this. I can't find a way to do it in the iPhone app without going through my entire friends list and hand selecting everyone. FB's full non-mobile site won't let me just add friend's names to a search box on my custom list page and add them all at once, like sighted people can. There's not even a way to do this on the mobile site that I know of. Anyone know a way around this? And, is Google Chrome more accessible with this issue? It's driving me nuts, I wanna pull my hair out, and unfortunately, because I run several businesses and use FB to promote them, it's necessary so that I can post messages and show them only to people interested. Help please!

So I am attempting to reinstall the operating system using the recovery partition. I can turn on voice over, select the reinstall OS 10 option, hit continue through the license agreement and select my destination drive for the reinstall. However, when I get to the sign in to the app store step, my apple ID and password are never excepted. It keeps saying that the sign in button is dimmed. I've even tried turning off voice over in the text fields to enter the text. But when I do this, I end up with a window that says signing in to app store, and a busy progress indicator. There is no percentage bar, just the busy progress indicator. I have checked and I am connected to my wireless internet network. Do any of you have any suggestions?
