Used this method on 11th Feb, 2016 on El Capitan (10.11.3) and works! I couldn't install Windows 10 via Bootcamp because apparently my SSD was 'corrupt'. After doing this, it has 'repaired' my drive, and enabled me to continue with the installation! Thanks for the video +Anson Alexander
Same. I have tried turn FileVault off and delete all the local snapshots created from Time Machine but it still did not work. I am running Mojave 10.14.3, the latest one now.
Solution: 1) Boot Camp Assistant does not show the exact error. To find the root cause we can do the same procedure similar to BCA manually: go to Disk Utils, manually create a new partition with the FAT type and the same size. The partition creation should fail with more information. 2) Google the solution 3) Profit. In my case, the reason was in the Apple Time Machine. It is obviously prevented partitioning. Error: APFS Container Resize error code is 49153 The solution was in StackOverflow stackoverflow.com/questions/46424915/apfs-container-resize-error-code-is-49153 *run in terminal the command `tmutil listlocalsnapshots /` that shows time machine snapshots *delete all snapshots by running `tmutil thinlocalsnapshots / 9999999999999999` *disable time machine *restart and enjoy
hay i try the that but when i put the mac to rebook and push CMD+S the it loading come to this "bash-3.2# "its not come to root.how fix this issue.i have same Disk Could Not Be Partitioned Error..please help me
I do as shown in the video but always get this message: warning: "option -f is not implemented, ignoring error: container /dev/rdisk2 is mounted with write access"(; Any idea? Any help would be appreciated!
For El Capitan users; When you press cmd-s for entering single user mode after restart you should first log in to your user account, then you can use this command. if any problem yet: 1- Make sure that your labtop is connected to power adaptor. 2- Turn OFF FileVault
May I ask what version of OS X you run? I would really want to try out your solution, but whenever I hit "shift-7" - which usually results in forward-slash - im faced with an ampersand "&", which makes it difficult to say the very least.
i have bigsur and it wont let me open that menu at the start because it will finished writing up the commands and then start up the mac, i need help please!
thank you for the post, it worked for me on a 10.6 version. My problem was slightly different, the mac didn't want to partition because some files on the disk couldn't been moved
It didn't work for me.The same error still occurred after my OS run in the single user mode and run command "/sbin/fsck -fy".My OS X version is 10.10.2.
didn't work! macbookPro Late2008 running mavericks. after "hacking" the bootcamp app to make it bootable from a pendrive, I can get into this mode and type the code, it will run and say everything is alright, but it keeps failing partitioning. pls help? I did have bootcamped this machine several times before, I don't know what's wrong now.
how to delete unallocated partition in Mac mini fusion drive. I showing Gray Ground in this partition But not visible this drive. Only Show two partitions (White Ground and Gray Ground) I tried so many times but It's not deleted. Plz help me. I want remove this Gray unlocated partition..plz plz plz help me
Yeah I don’t get that at all. A few lines but too much to type. Ending line says “error container is mounted with write access”. I’m able to partition the drive normally but bootcamp just does not want to work
in this screen, I dont see :/ root# command, I enable it from user accounts (root command) but I dont know how to use it on single user mode at startup, and idea ?
***** just blank typing screen comes, and shows only ( - ) this sign, when I write something itsays unknown command, as you see in video, root# comes as default but not on mine, (I have macbook pro retina btw)
Thanks so much. I now able to do the last part that I failed so many times due to the error of partitioning disk. After watching so many videos, still came up with errors, I almost for sale my MacBook Pro. Thanks for saving my money. 😆👍👍👍👍
WORKS FOR YOSMITE USERS.... You need to keep holding on ctrl+S just after pressing the power button. Then You will be asked for your user password if needed and everything runs smooth.
if you are still having this issue its because of time machine almost 90% sure. time machine is locking your local hard drive. disable it and remove the hard drive from the list of back up locations. stackoverflow.com/questions/46424915/apfs-container-resize-error-code-is-49153 I did this and it fixed my error
I love how this shit has been working for years but never works out for me
Me too
try this I had the same issue th-cam.com/video/OWqpAd6MEbU/w-d-xo.html

Worked like a magic on my MacBook Pro running El Capitan. Thanks mate.
will this work for macOS Catalina 10.15.7?
thanks! it worked! the only thing you forgot to mention is you don't need to type in "root", and just the command. works fine
Command + S on Reboot doesn't work for macOS Monterey :( Is there another solution perhaps?
I am on OS 10.11.5 when i type the command my hard drive is OK and it does not work
try this th-cam.com/video/OWqpAd6MEbU/w-d-xo.html worked for me

same :(
1 year later, same problem
For El Capitan users;
When you press cmd-s for entering single user mode after restart you should first log in to your user account, then you can use this command.
if any problem yet:
1- Make sure that your labtop is connected to power adaptor.
2- Turn OFF FileVault
+Iman Fatehi I have File Vault off and I am logged into my user account all the time since my Mac and it still is not working for me on El Cap.
May I ask what version of OS X you run? I would really want to try out your solution, but whenever I hit "shift-7" - which usually results in forward-slash - im faced with an ampersand "&", which makes it difficult to say the very least.
Guess it is all due to that I use the Swedish keyboard-settings instead of the English one. Will change this and give it another try.
+Björner Strindberg Have you found a solution? I've got the same problem :/
+GemseLiebhaber try hitting the key relative to the " / " on the english keyboard layout. (The one to the left of the right-hand-side shift key)

This video is very unique. Short and effective. Kudos
So I'm getting this error on my brand new macbook air. I did this and it says my drive is fine. Is it a formatting issue?

It works, just make sure you press and hold CMD+S RIGHT after the screen turns black
Thanks
StormProGames By me, worked for Yosemite. Just as he explains. Did you find the way?

I still get the failure 49187, I already try so many things the last 5 days and I can't find a way😢
Yeah I don’t get that at all. A few lines but too much to type. Ending line says “error container is mounted with write access”. I’m able to partition the drive normally but bootcamp just does not want to work
this is an easier fix th-cam.com/video/OWqpAd6MEbU/w-d-xo.html
mine says “repairs in a mounted container aren’t supported”
in this screen, I dont see :/ root# command, I enable it from user accounts (root command) but I dont know how to use it on single user mode at startup, and idea ?
*****
well actually, I did as you said but it says command error, it doesnt recognize it..

th-cam.com/video/OWqpAd6MEbU/w-d-xo.html this worked for me
For some reason the partitioner won't let me allocate more then 20GB.. For that matter, it will only allow 16GB and 20GB
mine is just stuck..what should i do????

Doesn't work for me either. I'm running 10.11.3 and the same error message still popped.
if you are still having this issue its because of time machine almost 90% sure. time machine is locking your local hard drive. disable it and remove the hard drive from the list of back up locations. stackoverflow.com/questions/46424915/apfs-container-resize-error-code-is-49153 I did this and it fixed my error
