How can I delete the 'other' of additional storage on MacBook Pro

I have 250 GB of storage on my MacBook Pro.   I am running OSX El Capitan, version 10.11.2.  I only 3.5 Gig left and try to delete files to make more room.  I backed up the videos and photos.  Can't delete photos (no longer using iPhoto, but just the 'Photos' software that came with the update).

Any suggestions?

  • How can I install the drivers for Boot Camp of MacBook Pro?

    Joe Kissel, author of "Take control of VMWare Fusion 2," recommends users to install Apple's Boot Camp drivers to access remote cameras Apple Remote and iSight in VMWare:

    To install the Boot Camp Windows drivers:

    1. with Windows running in the merger, insert your Leopard installation DVD.

    The Boot Camp installer should run automatically.

    Auto repair: If the installation program does not work, check to see if the virtual

    CD/DVD drive is in use. To do this, open the Virtual Machine >

    Menu of the CD/DVD. If disconnect CD/DVD is selected, select it. That

    should cause the Boot Camp Installer run; If not, click Start >

    What I find instead is:

    Which is weird, because I do not use a MacBook Air, but rather a MacBook Pro (unibody). I can even see Boot Camp files on the CD/DVD drive, but don't know what to do with them.

    You can close Windows and then go into Windows Explorer on the CD/DVD drive and navigate to : \BootCamp\setup.exe and double-click it to start installing Boot Camp drivers. (The label of the disc will probably show that "WindowsSupport" in Windows Explorer.)

  • How can I delete the 'distributed' and 'response' to my form?

    I created a form for my clients to fill out.  I want to be able to post the form on my site, then the customer can download, edit, save, print if they like and send it to me manually.  I don't want the form to have a button "submit", nor do I wish to have answers about caterpillars.

    Currently, I have a form that is set up like that.  How can I delete the criteria in the form who is in charge of emailing me as well as the response followed file?  I want the form to be devoid of any link to my email, but also any file response on my end.

    For some strange reason, Acrobat Standard does not allow you to edit JavaScripts at the level of the document, use a different approach.

    The first thing to do is to find the hidden button and to be visible. To do this, select the tool select an object, which is a black arrow pointing upward to the left. When the tool is active, you should see the previously hidden on the first page button:

    Double-click the button and go to the general tab and set the drop-down list in the area of common properties visible form field. Then go to Actions tab and remove the "execute a JavaScript script' the mouse to the top of trigger action.» Add a new action of the trigger JavaScript mouse up, and then enter the following two lines of code in the Editor:

    getAnnot (0, "adhocFormState") .destroy ();

    addScript ("FormsWorkflowScript", "/ /");

    Then close the dialog box, select the hand tool and click the button. This will effectively get rid of the JavaScript to the document level and the annotation of text hidden. You can now remove the button by selecting it with the tool select a new object and press DELETE or right-click > delete

    That should do it.
