Hello.

Mac OS (Mountain Lion v10.8.5 & Sierra v10.12.1)'s Disk Utility won't 
let me resize 2 existing partitions (FAT32 [datas and sharing with other 
OSes like Windows] & encrypted HFS+ [Time Machine + other datas]). I 
wanted to make its FAT32 partition smaller & HFS+ partition bigger 
without losing data, redoing from scratch, etc. It doesn't seem to let 
me. Does its Disk Utility not let me do that like in Linux and Windows? 
:(

Thank you in advance. :)
