Redistributing Free Space in Boot Camp
1. Start up Mac OS X.
2. Launch Camptune X. If you’re running the product on Mac OS X El Capitan where the System Integrity
Protection (SIP) is enabled, which is on by default, you’ll be prompted to create a special boot media to do
redistribution of free space from it (see the Creating Boot Media section). Alternatively, you can switch off
SIP and do redistribution directly in Mac OS X (see the Disabling SIP section). By clicking the Learn More…
button you can read an article on this issue in our Knowledge Base.
3. The welcome page introduces the product’s functionality. Please click Continue.
4. As the next step you are to provide a password of a user with the administrator privilege.
5. When done, your system will be scanned for a Boot Camp configuration.
If our wizard doesn’t find your Boot Camp configuration, please click “Log files” to prepare
and send operation logs to our Support Team. To know more on the subject, please consult
the Collecting Logs section.
6. If no Boot Camp configuration has been found in your system, click Get Help to try suggested options.
7. Move the slider to resize volumes. Please note, when you change size of one volume the size of the other will
be changed as well, thus redistributing the unused space between the volumes. When ready, click Continue.
3. Once completed, you will be prompted to restart your Mac from the created boot media. If you decide not to
do it right now, click Don’t restart.
To start up the computer from the boot media later you will need to press and hold the Option key during
the system restart until the Startup Manager appears, then select the required bootable partition and wait
until it loads.
4. Select Camptune X.app in the menu, then click Continue to launch the program.
and folders regardless if they are launched by the root user or not. Layout of the system disk is not allowed to modify
either, that’s why Camptune X is not able to do its job directly in the latest OS X until SIP is deactivated.
If you don’t want to create and use our boot media, you can disable SIP with the csrutil command line utility:
1. Boot your Mac into recovery mode by holding down the Command and R keys at the system startup, then
launch the terminal utility.
2. Use the csrutil disable command to deactivate SIP.
We respect your privacy, so none of your confidential data will be exposed. The collected
operation logs will help our Support Team find and tackle your problem.
2. Log Collector informs you on the upcoming operation. Click Save Logs to proceed.
3. The wizard will archive all operation logs, which requires some time. When done, the prepared archive will
be automatically revealed in Finder.
4. Now you can write an e-mail to our support engineers attaching the collected logs.
