How to clear a space on the MacBook Air

Hello

Under "about this Mac" / storage, distribution of Go, there are 55 GB and increases in the other"" category.

I am able to delete the video and music files, but how do I clear the "others"? I don't know how to see what that means.

My MacBook Air has only 121 GB.

Thank you

Jacqueline

It is explanation of Apple which is included in the category 'other ':

With 125 GB of storage, you should look into buying an external hard drive. They are fairly inexpensive now days. You must have one for backups anyway.

  • How to use the library of small Photos on the MacBook Air

    I'm running out of space on my MacBook Air, and I prefer to store all my original photo in iCloud. How to keep the photo library on my Mac to the size of the strict minimum. Thank you.

    Are you already using iCloud photo library or you want to turn your photo into a photo library of iCloud library?

    To save storage on your Mac, select iCloud in the pictures library > Preferences > iCloud. also turn on "Optimize Mac Storage" in this Panel.

    Photos will replace originals in your library of optimized versions. But this process is dynamic. If you are short on storage, it will replace original more optimized versions. So, it will take some time, until your photo library becomes smaller. You cannot influence this process.

    A way to shrink the photo library immediately, is radical enough: wait until the first download of your photos is complete and all the pictures are on iCloud.  Make a current backup of your photo library by copying to an external drive.

    Then delete the photo library on your internal drive. Launch photos while holding down the key options and create a new empty library. This library in your system photo library and activate iCloud photo library with optimization of the storage.

    Now, all your photos will download as optimized versions and the library will be much smaller from the start.  However, it has some drawbacks.  Thumbnails of faces will be lost, also all of your projects. It will be like using your iCloud library another computer: use Photos and photo library on several Macs - Apple Support iCloud

  • Video of the MacBook Air to accuse by unplugged (current running off battery)

    Hello. I have a Macbook Air from 2012. The Macbook works perfectly fine when it is plugged, but the minute I unplug the unit, some video that I might be streaming suddenly freezes, even if sometimes the audio is not yet. Weird. The battery works, even if it runs in less than an hour. It has a cycle of 657 counter. The battery health is diagnosed as being 'good '. Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do about it?

    Thank you.

    Apparently, the MacBook Air is electric rationing of the battery through the

    all of the GPU, CPU, free wireless internet, open, applications and requirements

    Mac OS x itself; so many invisible things are underway in the background.

    Have you looked into the specifications of profile of electrical system and battery

    where the status of the battery is spelled in milli-ampere-hour charge remaining

    and expected full load capacity?

    I imagine that the battery can be replaced; also if SSD drive

    is full of stored content, the effort it takes the system to find the space

    for swap files and read/write then in the storage disk, is your MB/Air tax.

    Maybe an upgrade of the hard drive (SSD) ability is something to check

    in (if it is possible to upgrade) or just be sure to not have much stored on board.

    A replacement may be obtained from the macsales, OWC, among others.

    Also make sure that the MagSafe connectors are clean and free of debris on both sides

    the AC adapter and the DC-in Board (on the computer).

    If yours is a model 11 inches, total expected her battery life cycles are less

    as the largest 13-inch model (with the largest capacity of the battery + request) if the

    County of 657 (of max. 1 000) can be decreased if the computer has never been

    Let it run until the battery is dead. ~ Or if the storage environmental conditions or

    use, have marginalized the ability of the computer to function in the plug.

    The SMC reset (and sometimes reset NVRAM) can help with the battery power

    the use of Wi - Fi, other applications that run in the background; also the antivirus or other

    analysis software running needlessly in the background, using cycles CPU. The

    battery may be getting a workout. More so, if you run games or any other active content.

    You could look at the activity monitor to check the different points under your control

    who may be using resources; all this that consume energy are suspect. Some of them are

    more in your control than others. the system manages several outside of your access.

    An Etrecheck report generated when the unit is running under the battery and another

    When operating on current alternative, can be useful. If nothing else, to see what is

    installed in the computer and its running configuration specifications. The load can tell a story.

    There is also perhaps adware or other software that affect the performance of the Mac;

    This may include antivirus, and if cleaning applications have been executed, they can damage the OS X.

The purpose of the switch is the requirement for me to have a computer (with an operating system in its own right) that I can use for computer science stuff.

I not looking for a laptop that will last me a year and performance degradation that are present or any downgrade of the user experience.

    Any kind of help is appreciated.
