I would just copy the Yosemite partition to the Untitled one (using something that will make it bootable, such as Carbon Copy Cloner).

it dosent allow it. ive tried using Carbon Copy Cloner but error always show up..

What do you want to do? the text under says move then merge, if that is what you want it would be easier to delete (Untitled) and expand Yosemite.

Vetra Bali :

I suppose we have to guess what error message you get. I give up.

McHenryB :

I'm sorry I'm not being clear about what error i had, but its an error which says you have to restart your macbook for the installer to help or something like that.. :??:

JustSomeJoe :

i can't expand the Yosemite HD and I've deleted the Untitled HD. The options button is greyed out and there is no drag arrow for expanding to the empty space.

its an error which says you have to restart your macbook for the installer to help or something like that.

That sounds like an informational message rather than an error. When you are playing with partitions it is quite common to have to reboot to let the process finish.

Ive finally solved it. i use an app called SuperDuper. its something similar to Carbon Copy Cloner. Set target disk and destination disk and wait for at least an hour to copy all. Thanks for the help guys. i really appreciate your feedback.

Make sure you run a Verify Disk on it (both the drive and the partition), the only time I've seen OS X refuse to resize a partition is when there was some form of corruption.

+1 on JustSomeJoe's suggestion. You should be able to just delete the 'untitled' partition and Yosemite would start to use the space.

SuperDuper is a great program. I used to use it to make a timed daily archive on about 30 macs in a graphics department. If anyone lost their drive all I had to do was install a new drive and copy the .DMG back to the new drive and they were up and running (excluding putting in serials for some of the stuff but much better than re-installing the whole shebang).
