ICloud :: Macbook Air Running Out Of Storage?

Apr 15, 2012

I have a macbook air 128g and am running out of storage space.  I am wondering if I can use icloud as a primary storage for my media files (Photos, music, video, etc).  Then I could potentially remove from hard drive to free up space.  I am concerned if this is possible and what the cons would be.  I am thinking that Itunes library and photos would not be as quickly accesible as it would be using the hard drive.

MacBook Pro :: OS X Mavericks (10.9.4) Running Out Of Storage - Almost Full To Capacity

Aug 31, 2014

I had to delete a Yosemite partition I created on my mid 2012 macbook pro because the 16gig available filled up fast.

I check my HD and it was almost full to capacity, it shows I had 2.2 TB of photos and 1.5 TB of audio.

I don't know if this photos and music kept adding each time I sync my iphone or each time i log on to Facebook.

Anyway I would like to FREE UP THE SPACE but how, and would I need to have 3plus TB of external DH to do this, or what??????

ICloud :: Why Can't See Macbook As Using Any Of Storage

Apr 30, 2012

Why don't I see my macbook as using any of my icloud storage? My iphone and ipad are there and show their latest backups. Does this mean my macbook isn't backed up to icloud?  I am using Lion and iCloud seems to be on in my Macbook's System Preferences.  My photos stream fine and my calendar moves from my iphone to my mac wirelessly.  What am I missing?

Software :: Mass Storage Process Hangs On MacBook Running Tiger

Nov 10, 2006

I have a white 2.0 Ghz MacBook running Tiger 10.4.8 with the latest firmware updates, and 2 GB RAM. I also have an external IDE drive partitioned as FAT32, sitting in a relatively-no-name enclosure via firewire, daisy-chained through my Presonus Firebox external audio unit (I know, not ideal for recording). The MacBook's HDD also has an NTFS partition with XP residing there. Now, it all worked great for a month now, but this week I started having a strange issue. First I noticed that the fans started kicking in even though I wasn't doing anything special. I fired the Activity Monitor up, and indeed, the CPU load was at 140%. So I looked among the processes, and one named "Mass Storage" seemed to be frozen. The obvious, but perhaps a little dangerous, thing to do was to quit it, so I did.

The CPU load returned to normal, and I was still able to access the external drive just fine. So, now, whenever I connect the firewire drive, the mass storage process hangs. I quit it, and everything goes back to normal from there. The question is.. Why does it freeze, and also, what is the whole <i>point</i> of the 'mass storage' process if quitting it doesn't affect anything? When I plug the drive in, iPhoto launches automatically, and by the files that mass storage opens, I'm going to try and track down what's causing it to hang. The last file it opens on the list is /dev/urandom. Also, now that I think about it, FAT32 probably isn't the best filesystem out there. I do need the drive to be compatible with both OS X and Windows though. I suppose I could try HFS+ under OS X, and then using Mac Drive under Win to access the disk.

Intel Mac :: Running Out Of Storage

Jun 4, 2012

I have a 21.5 iMac with an i3 processor and 500GB hard drive. Unfortunately I am running out of internal storage space and I was wondering what options I have for upgrading the storage. I am also going through my photos (in iPhoto) and videos (in iMovies), deleting the ones I don't need. I also have a 500GB external hard drive with the purpose of backing up my iMac (via Time Machine). I can think of the following options and I was wondering what people think about them and if you could share any feedback / ideas? Internal Upgrade: Can I upgrade my storage internally on my iMac to another 500GB (i.e. 1TB in total)?External Upgrade Scenario 1: Purchase a 500GB external drive and save my iMovie and iPhoto library on it. Purchase another 500GB external hard drive as back up (via Time Machine) Question -> Can I run 2 back ups at the same time via Time Machine? One for my existing internal storage and another for iMovie and iPhoto library on the external 500GB hard drive.External Upgrade Scenario 2: Use my existing 500GB external hard drive (which I currently use to back up my iMac) and reformat it to save my iPhoto and iMovie library. Purchase a 1TB external hard drive to back up both my internal storage (500GB) and external storage (500GB). Is this even possible with Time Machine?

iMac, iOS 5.1.1

OS X :: Running Time Machine On NAS Storage?

Apr 19, 2009

Has anyone tried using some of the NAS storage solutions out there as your Time Machine back up? If so, how well does it work? Reason I ask is because I'm thinking of getting one but I don't want to run into the same problem I had with mounting when I tried using an external HDD connected to my home server. I know it's not the same but I'm just asking to be safe.

ICloud :: Hard Drive Or Other Cloud Storage?

Mar 13, 2012

I run a small business which has a new Mac Mini 10.7 and iMacs 10.5.8 which we currently store all our on-going work on a Hard Drive connected via ethernet. However, I want to try and achieve the following: 

1 storage device for all work (around 1TB in size)

Access to my work from home, main office or another office

Work directly on drive (don't want to download, amend, and re-upload)

Access via various Mac OS, from 10.5-10.7

Not too expensive! Is there any on-line storage site or Live Hard Drive I can use to gain access to my work, work live directly to from various locations using the Macs as above, or am I just dreaming of something that does not exist? 

I hope this makes sense, it foes to me, but do ask if I am talking gobbledegook!

The guy I called from apple today was clueless and told me he didn't know how to do it, and then told me the wrong thing!I bought the storage under the impression that it was a useful product, but it wasn't doing what I thought it was supposed to do! I just want to get rid of this extra storage!! I mean, this is ridiculous if the apple employees aren't trained in this!

ICloud :: Save Documents Simply As Storage?

Can you save documents to iCloud simply as storage and to access from another PC, iPad or device that isn't your own?  I want to access documents remotely but can't see how to do this without buying iWorks for my iPhone, which is not what I want.  I previously stored a few important documents on iDisk and am trying to replicate this so I can access them when I am away from my MacBook.

MacBook Air :: Realization - IPhone Storage Versus MBA Storage?

Jan 10, 2010

I thought I would share a cool realization. I am now eligible for any iPhone upgrades and most likely will be getting the new one coming out this summer - whatever it may be. I realized today that most likely it will have 64GB of storage - the exact same size as my Macbook Air - I think it is so wild my future phone/pocket computer will have the exact same storage capacity as my main laptop. I could potentially mirror everything on my Mac that is on my iPhone in the future.

ICloud :: Can Keep Email Running Without It

Feb 21, 2012

I am using Mac OS 10.4.11 and I do not plan to upgrade my OS software at this time. I am not using any wireless devices such as iPhone, iPad, or iPod.  The only "wireless device" I use is my PowerMac G4 using Airport and whatever wireless signal from a modem is handy for internet connection.  I am using Apple's Mail application and wish to continue using it just as it is with my existing email addresses.  I currently have a MobileMe account which I'm not worried about losing when it's phased out as long as my Mail application and email continues to function. My question is do, I have to sign up with, or make the move to, iCloud in order for my Mail application and my email to continue working in the near future?  I do not mind losing MobileMe and I do not mind not having iCloud if my email will work without it. I do not wish to purchase iCloud service and I hope I do not have to pay to keep my email working. I do have iDisk at the moment but I prefer to let it go rather than to continue to pay for a remote upload/download storage service, although I wouldn't mind keeping it if I don't have to pay for it.

ITunes :: Changing Storage Location With Media In The New Storage Location?

Jun 30, 2012

Equipment: Mac Mini (Early 2009), Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz, 4 GB RAM, Lion. I started noticing my Mac Mini was having trouble reconnecting my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, slow processing (spinning pinwheel of death), and programs freezing. I did a recovery within Lion from the recovery drive and it seemed to work for a week or so. It started acting up again. So, I decided to erase the HD and reinstall Lion. I basically use the Mac Mini as a server for all my iTunes content.  

My iTunes default save location is to my Drobo storage unit. Now that I have reinstalled Lion, I am looking for the easiest, most convenient, and safest way to change the default save location in iTunes and then importing the media. It would be nice if it was possible to just simply change the default save location to the folder I previously had all my media saved in and it would just magically appear in iTunes. Everything was organized perfectly, which took hours of time and attention to details.
