View 2 Replies View RelatedOS X :: No Free Space - Erase Free Space Interrupted
Mar 20, 2009Yesterday I apparently interrupted Disk Utility when it was erasing free space, which was far bigger than the used space on my beloved black Macbook. Apparently the free space, because the program was interrupted, is seen as one honking big file.
This morning, the disk utility tells me that I have zero free space. Verify says I do not need repair. I checked because of all my sudden problems (I am unable to save anything to the laptop, unable to cut-and-paste . . . and unable to erase free space again since there officially isn't any, etc.).
Trash is empty.
I tried (based on advice in another thread) to reboot with the installation disk so as to use its disk utility program, but the installation disk menu offers "install" etc. but not (as far as I can tell) just access to its disk utility.
I plugged in my Timemachine external drive [WD MyBook], but the most recent "save" there has the "restore" button greyed out. That's scary.
I'm willing to do a complete re-install if necessary, but I hope that one of you has a simpler solution that will simply get my free space back.
MacBook Air :: Free Rev B Upgrade From Rev A?
Jun 2, 2009I think i got pretty luck here but you guys let me know. Bought a Rev A macbook air on craigslist for like 900 a few months back, machine came with apple care and a few extras.
Then the enter key was sticking up slightly more on one side so i figured i have the support might as well take it in. The key was sticking up from a pervious repair. So the took it and fixed it. when i got it back the keys didn't light up and the sound was gone. I called and when i bought it back they gave me a new Rev B macbook air with an extra power adapter. Needless to say i was very happy.
I have heard of this happening to other people is it starting to become common?

OS X :: Trying To Free Up Memory On MacBook
Aug 2, 2010I am trying to free up memory on my MacBook. I only have 3.25 GB left and I have to Software Update and I want to download some things from iTunes. I'm trying to free up some space so I can do those things but how would I? I need to use all the applications that I have on my computer, and I need all the documents that I have on my computer. So how would I clear up some space on my computer? I've used Clean My Mac and other computer cleaning stuff too.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: How Much Ram Should Be Free While Idle
Aug 8, 2010I just got my 13in mbp a couple days ago and I've been watching the activity monitor since one of the reasons I got a pro was for the extra ram over the macbook. Mine seems to only have about 2.08 free while I have nothing running except whatever it came with since I haven't installed anything yet. This seems a little low considering the regular macbooks only come with 2gb how could they even run snow leopard? Am I missing something about reading the activity monitor or is there something I can do to free up more ram or is this just normal?

MacBook Pro :: New App Updates Not Free?
Apr 29, 2012My brand new MacBook Pro is showing that two updates are available at the App Store, one for GarageBand and one for iPhoto. When I click on 'Update' for these however, I get a drop-down box saying that 'you must have previously purchased the item being updated.Tap buy to purchase it now'. If I then tap on buy another drop-down box appears sying that my payment card will be debited if I continue. My assumption would be that I had bought these applications with the MacBook, did I not? Why then should I need to buy updates to them a day later?

MacBook Air :: How To Free Up Storage
Jun 5, 2014I have a solid state memory in the airbook mac and want to free up storage space. Transfering files to external jumpdrives and putting files into the trash does not free up the space. The wording is 'MAC OS extended' in the format space when disc utility is opened and top title 'erase' is selected.

View 23 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Upgrade HDD To Get More Free Space?
Jul 30, 2009I've decided to switch my current HDD with a bigger one. I currently got 160gb wich is a little bit tight. I also have a WD Passport 160gb but I use it as a TM Backup. I don't really know if I need 7400 RPM. I use frequently Adobe PS CS3 and MSN, iTunes, Firefox... I also plan on getting some games like COD4 and things like that. So far here are the drives I've been looking:
5400RPM 320GB WesternDigital @ OWC for approx. 75.99$CA: [URL]
7200RPM 320GB WesternDigital @ NewEgg.ca for 84.99$CA: [URL]
5400RPM 500GB WesternDigital @ OWC for approx. 112.62$CA: [URL]
Right now, my 160gb contains 148gb of stuff and I've got some movies on my brother's external HDD. I don't know if 320gb would be enough or if I'm gonna be tempt in 6 months-1 year on getting more space?
MacBook :: How To Get Back Free Space On HD
Jan 2, 2010I would like to gain back some space on my Macbook's HD. I would like to:
1) Burn all the photos and videos on DVD's. Re this, once burned, I'll delete them from the HD, via iPhoto.(show files, etc.) What would happen with the events? Say that, in the future, I want to import 20% of the photos with their corresponding events (already deleted from iPhoto): is this feasible?
2) Is there an app within Leopard OS (not Snow Leopard) that would allow me to change photo and video size, all at once or not. (batch processing?) Videos and photos where imported within iPhoto app.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: How Much Actual Free Space In SSD
Jun 8, 2010I'm about to order a Macbook Pro and I'm undecided between a regular 500gb 7200rpm HHD or the 128 SSD. I've heard the SSD is fast but I'm afraid it might not be enough space. Typically, hard drives actually have a little less free space than the number it indicates. For example, a 500gb might have about 460gb of free space.

Mar 24, 2012I have a MBP running 10.7.3. All of a sudden it loses 55 GB of hard disk space in a couple minutes. I start getting pop-up warnings about space. Then, if I clean a couple files (maybe 1GB) worth, the free sapce begins to return. Then it heads back down again. Literally 10 GB in a couple minutes.

MacBook Air :: Free Up Disk Space?
Mar 27, 2012I clicked Disk Utility, then Macintosh HD and moved the mouse a bit leftside; at that point, I discovered that I can't click "Erase free space", but it shows "Erase free space not available on this type of disk drive". I don't know why it happened. Also, my disk storage is full though I never installed many memory-consuming applications and media files. It just shows "others" that dorminates the whole memory storage.

MacBook Pro :: Getting Different Readings For Free Space?
May 28, 2012I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro with a 750GB hard drive that I recently put in. I just did a system wipe and restore, and now I'm getting 2 different readings of vastly different amounts for free space. Disk Utility and About My Mac both label it at 433.29 Gigs, but Finder rates it at 590.3 Gigs! I'm fairly certain the About My Mac has the storage space correct. I have turned off mobile Time Machine backups, and I know there's a hidden partition for Recovery, but shouldn't Finder know about this? Disk Utility shows the hard drive as fine.
