I can't locate the 'other' data stored on the mac. Help!
I've had my mac for less than 1 month.
I added 12 gigabytes of photos and videos. And less than 1 GB of files. (4 files to be exact)
My macbook says "Startup disk is full." When I look in 'about my mac' he said I got 96 gigs of 'OTHERS '.
I tried the chat with Apple support and my macbook does not connect.
I need help!
Thank you
First of all understand what represents the OTHER category:
https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202867
Download the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) and open them. They will show all your files and respective sizes. Transfer to a HARD drive external files don't want on your Mac or remove them.
Don't forget to empty the trash. Then only the space is allocated additional data.
Ciao.

I can't locate the contents of what was in the folder 'my documents '.
I recently upgraded to vista XP, I can't locate the contents of what was in the folder 'My documents' anywhere. When these files is passed or they deleted in the upgrade?
In the Security tab, add you in its own right. Go to advanced and control who has access. Add yourself (if not there) and delete all others. Then come back and go to the tab of property and take over the case. Here are a few tips and information on permissions and provides which may help. But take courage - it seems that we have to fear that found the lack of file and it should be as a matter of time before we can access despite the problems affecting permisions them. You will have to perhaps give you all the rights and take in hand the folder of the user himself access - but let's see if it works this easier way first (or if it does not, we invite you to try to change the property on the users folder and the permissions, even if she is used to. In this case, do remove other USERS from the permissions section.
To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab. Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users). Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions. You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).) Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.
To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights. Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab. Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK. Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions. You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner). You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.) Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

where can I find the mac address for Airport Extreme
just bought a new Airport Extreme 802.11ac and I don't know here to find the MAC ADDRESS. Can someone tell me where to look. I have the model and serial number, but can not find the MAC ADDRESS.
Is the AirPort Extreme, set up and operation right now... even if he could not have an Internet connection?
If Yes... Open the AirPort on your Mac utility... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)
Hold down the option key on your Mac when you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme
The next page will display a summary of the parameters
The AirPort Extreme has done 3 different MAC addresses... Ethernet, WiFi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi. If your AirPort Extreme is connected to a modem by an Ethernet cable, then the Ethernet ID is the MAC address.
If the AirPort Extreme has not set up yet at all...
Open AirPort Utility as above, and then click the file menu in the upper left corner of the screen next to the Apple icon
Click on configure the other
For address, enter 10.0.1.1
A password is normally not necessary, but if you are prompted for a password, use the word
public
Click OK, the settings summary page is displayed. In most cases, given that the AirPort Extreme connects to a modem via an Ethernet connection, you want to use the Ethernet ID as the MAC address.
If you are still experiencing difficulties, you have 90 days of support Apple phone. Call them and maybe they can explain why that should be a very simple task is so difficult.

operating system is windows vista laptop.
I went into system restore settings and couldn't find how to locate my saved files. I think they take a LOT of space, I deleted all other unused files and I have more than 6 GB of free space out of 67 concert. Help, please? I don't know much about computers at all.
Hello
Follow the method of deleting a file of older backup using sub steps and check later if the problem persists.
(a) open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and Maintenanceand then clicking backup and restore.
(b) click on Manage space. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
(c) to delete older backups of files under that data backup file, click on view backups.
You can then select the backups of files that you want to delete, which will free up disk space. Remove an entry in the list will not affect the other backups. If you think that you don't need one version of your files from a certain backup period, you can delete that backup. We recommend that you always keep the most recent backup.
