170 + GB apps on El Capitan: -?

Hello

I'm new to Mac. EU environment 15 macbook pro running the latest version of El Capitan. My only question now is the space occupied by applications (as indicated in the "about this mac" - see attached photo).

I had a look on the forums, but everyone talks about the 'other' unknown space.

The Applications folder is only ~ 12 GB.

Help, please.

  • cannot send pictures of photos since update app at el Capitan

    Take lots of pictures. Since the update to El Capitan (10.11.3) a few weeks ago, I'm more able to email or send photos of family and friends of my Photos App (not had this problem before the update). I have no problem with e-mail, etc., but can no longer, it seems to attach photos. By clicking on the 'Share' icon on the Photos, you have the opportunity to 'icloud photo photo sharing ',' set desktop' and 'more '. When you click on 'more', you get a menu for the Apple extensions and third-party use to customize your Mac.

    The box says that my Menu 'share' is not enabled but do not allow / allow me to do something with it.

    My default mail software is "Mail".

    I got pictures of a friend that I downloaded from my email account, but when I try to send the photo to my Photos app (once again' by clicking the 'share', choose 'send Photos' is not there.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Kind regards

    Please follow the instructions in this article to support to reset the launch Services database. Instead of typing the shell command in the article, I suggest that you copy and paste the web page in the Terminal window. Make sure you only select the entire line. One way to do that is triple - click anywhere in the line.

    If you do not already have a current backup, back up all data before proceeding. You should perhaps log out or restart to see a change.

  • No apps with El Capitan

    I installed a new SSD in my iMac 2007 and loaded a new download of El Capitan for a nice clean install.  I figured, I'd have access to my old default Apple apps (iMovie, etc.).  However, I realize now with a new installation, the fact that I had pre-installed apps.  I can buy them, but since they were previously on my old HD, I'm not interested in doing this.  I specifically did not have a full time machine backup before swapping because of my assumptions.  I have the data via old TM and I'm sure that applications should be there.

    What is the best way to bring back the old applications on my own installation of El Capitan?

    Are these apps that had been purchased through the App Store?  If so log in the App Store with the same Apple ID you used previously and look in the section purchased.

    You should be able to download and install again.

  • Photos App w El Capitan

    El Capitan installed a few months ago. Have the 10.11.5 version.

    MacBook Pro (13 ', mid-2010), 2.66 GHz, 4 GB memory, 500GB HD.

    I managed to get the photos and albums from the previous version and created a new album and uploaded a few photos. Had trouble a few times, but got a little loaded. Now it will not download pictures. I rebooted and no again, no luck. I can see the pictures and you can see my iPhone (to download), but when I click to download, nothing happens. Try to close the application, but can't. Get a dialog box saying «Closure of the library...» »

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Mitchell

    There may be a problem with your photo library. Maybe it needs repair.

    Test, if cam you are importing. Photos from your iPhone to a new library of Photos.  You can create a new library, if you launch Photos while holding down the button options all with pictures.  Select this option to create the new library in library selector Panel and try to import. It work?

    I have your photo library in your pictures folder, or on an external drive?  Do you have enough free storage to import more photos?

  • Move "referenced" in photos.app photos

    I work with pictures (photos.app) in El Capitan.

    I have a library of "referenced files" - files that are visible in the Photos, but still living in regular folders on my drive (they are not moved to the photo library).

    I want to some of them move to another folder, but if I do, I fear that photos.app will lose track of them. I can re - import, but it looks like I'm losing a lot - for example, some are in albums, some have unsaved edits, etc.

    Is there a way to move files without breaking the photos?

    Nope - Here on several reasons that referenced libraries are strongly discouraged in Photo (or iPhoto) - Photos doesn't have the right tools to manage referenced libraries

  • Photoshop CS6 crashes on launch, the 'sweep of the presets' after the "Topaz" plugin loading / Mac El Capitan

    In my view, there was a question yesterday about Photoshop CS6 hanging on scanning presets.

    I've recently upgraded to El Capitan 10.6.8 and Photoshop CS6 open. I installed a new 2 TB drive, installed El Capitan and done a migration assistant to move my apps on El Capitan.

    Photoshop has opened after that, by some of my plugins did not exist.

    I had to spend my "Topaz" filters, so I downloaded the 7 of them that I have and install.

    I went to use a Topaz Remask Plugin and had a mistake. The website of "Topaz" says that I need to change the property of/usr/lib. So I changed my id property and did a chmod 775 on the directory.

    After I did, Photoshop started hanging on the "presets" analysis  I made the recommendation of discussion yesterday and got to the Show Package Contents for CS6.

    CS6 ran here. This opens a terminal window and about went off of the CS6.

    Now I have a dialog box stating «Skip optional loading and plugins» third  Adobe Photoshop CS6 screen says "Looking for preferences.

    I can't click 'Yes' on the Skip loading dialog box. the Mac made some King of noise when I try and click Yes or when I try and move the start CS6 screen.

    The Terminal window shows this:

    stem-baakkonens-mac-pro: ~ rodbaakkonen$ Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS6/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS6.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS6. "exit";

    I tried to move my preferences file for CS6 in the library directory. But that doesn't seem to help, so I put back it.

    Should I switch all my plugins on the outside CS6 Plug-ins directory and see if the CS6 will start? It hangs just now and all I can do is to force quit.

    Thanks for your reply. -Rod

    OK, I can get in PSCS6 now after the re - install.  All preferences and stuff that I had Setup will have to be worked through. But at least I can get open. -Thank you

  • El, living,-, cant, see, my, photos, Photo

    I just upgraded my iMac to El Capitan - everything worked fine except my iPhotos. I can't see a picture. I was about 2 OSX versions behind, but he said that the upgrade should be fine. I used iPhoto 9.4.3 according to my iPhoto Library manager and I have a number of iPhoto libraries in my pictures folder. I did not use iCloud for storing them.

    When I launched the Photo he asked me which library I wanted to use and I did for my last. When I open the Photos app in El Capitan I find that there are no photos. Can I import iPhoto library? When I go to the import library and to find my photos - iPhoto folder is grayed out, but there are plenty of photos and events it import - but not iPhoto libraries.

    Advice please

    Hello, Peter Dromgoole1,.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message that after you have upgraded your iMac to El Capitan, your photos from iPhoto did not import the Photos app. I know the importance of your pictures are for you. The following article contains information on the iPhoto migration several libraries of Photos:

    Update to iPhoto to Photos for OS X

    To manually migrate another photo library:

    1. Photos of quit smoking.
    2. Hold down the Option key and open pictures.
    3. Select the library you want to open, and then click on choose a library. If the library you want is not listed, click on another library. Go to the library you want, and then click Open.

    You can also drag the library you want to open to Photos icon in the Dock. Or you can click on create new to create a new empty library.

    Best regards
