My Macintosh HD is full 979GB with only 300MB left but there is only 100GB of files stored on the Mac, can't find anything that is filling the disc.

The default 'Macintosh HD' hard drive on my Intel Mac Pro (OSX10.6.8) is almost full and I'd like to clone it to a new larger capacity drive. To keep things simple I will remove the existing drive and keep it safe as a backup. I understand that I can clone the drive to a new one and make the new one bootable using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or the Apple Disk Utility but I just have a couple of quick questions.Â
Firstly I believe I must partition the new disk in Disk Utility using a GUID Partition table. What about the naming of the disk? Again to keep things simple I would like the new disk to be named 'Macintosh HD'.Â
Regardless of what I name the new disk when it is initially formatted/partitioned will the cloning process also copy the 'Macintosh HD' name to it? Can you have two disks with the same name connected to the Mac Pro at the same time during the clone process?Â
Secondly, will the cloning process in the Apple Disk Utility automatically make the new drive bootable or are there further steps required after the clone is made?Â
Finally, if I use the Apple Disk Utility to create the clone should I do this from the original Snow Leopard DVD that came with the Mac Pro or should I use the latest version that is on the installed Mac OSX?Â
My Macintosh disk info shows almost full but my all of my deta is not enough to make it full. i removed many of files and photos but it does not create any space empty even after deleting my files and photos.

After reinstall of OS X 10.7.4, I restored an older copy from Time Machine backup. I want to completely replace the current "Macintosh HD" folder with the folder that TM put inside it. I created a separate user account, that did not exist before to do it. Do I need to create a root account? Is there an easy way to copy /Macintosh HD/Macintosh HD/ to /Macintosh HD/?

Since the recent software update (early Feb I believe) my Mac has begun to freeze, first finder, then safari/chrome, followed by all other applications.Â
I have set up Activity Monitor to track what is causing the issue, however when the computer freezes I cannot open Activity Monitor (obviously).Â
I have contacted Apple Care with the hope that they could provide some assistance, we deleted all startup files (and the other startup related files in library), ran disk utility and repaired permissions.Â
We noticed that spotlight was using a lot of the CPU, and I removed my external time machine harddrive (as it appeared that it was damaged).Â
The freezing still occured, so I reinstalled Lion. The computer appeared to be working again... until it began to freeze again.Â

This morning I woke up and my iMac, which I had left sleeping, would switch on. As I discovered, for some reason the power cord had been disconnected. Once I connected it again, nothing would happen when I pressed the start button, not a noise... nothing.

I've got a iMac 27" mid 2010.
I see since several months some shadows and spots on the top left corner of the screen. I've read in many threads that this is a known issue (defect I would say, since I never misused my iMac).Â
My question is:
is this defect recognized by Apple and do they fix it for free?

Switched the machine on today to notice that the left side of the screen is darker than the right. I have put the brightness on full to confirm this. Is it possible the LED backlight is failing?

Suddenly my displays backlight dimmed only on left side.
Changing brightness does not work.
Can I move the trash bin from the right hand side to the left.

My Mac has been running slow lately. Usually after using Facebook and Facebook games. Do any of you think that Facebook may be the problem? Also, I ran disk utility to repair disk permissions. I then ran disk utility to verify Macintosh HD. After the scan, disk utility reported that the disk needed to be repaired. It stated that I needed to restart the computer with anotther disk (Mac OS X installation disk for example) then use disk utility to repair Macintosh HD. How do I restart the computer from the installation disk? I tried using the disk for Leopard but the Mac just started as usual. I then tried to start the installation disk from my account, but I couldn't open the utility folder. It said the utilities were not supported. I am using Mac OS X 10.7.2

What is left for me to upgrade that will improve my MacBook's (2007 - Intel) speed the most? I have a 2007 MacBook that has the maximum amount of RAM installed already (2 Gig). I've upgraded to OSX 10.7 also.. It's sometimes sluggish when trying to run Office 2011 or Windows XP under VM Ware Fusion?

Not long after startup, the display will darken on the left side and stay that way until reboot - still readable, but bothersome .

Since I have done a disk repair (only change I can think of that may have had an impact) my Apple Magic Trackpad now randomly acts as though there is a "left click" being passed through. Sometimes it gets "stuck" in this left click mode. I've tried turning off single tap for left click in System Preferences, but to no avail.

My iMac, which was new Christmas 2011, has developed a strange fault. If the computer is left idle for any length of time, I then find that there is no sound and the speaker symbol at the top of the screen has disappeared. Sound is only regained by rebooting.
