MacBook Air SSD showing the incorrect capacity

I was about to partition my hard drive to use boot camp and install windows, but then I noticed the ability of my 180 GB SSD but should be 250 GB. I have tried other partitions, files, tried to use the disk utility first aid (everything has been verified to be OK) and had still no chance to find why it is showing my 180 GB maximum capacity. I also tried the reindexing of spotlight, but I have absolutely no idea of what is happening.

As you can see in this photo, the flash storage on the side said that my storage is 251 GB. Does anyone have an idea where the other 70 GB disappeared?

Please rebuild the Spotlight index of the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) If you try to search now, there will be an indication that the indexing is in progress.

    Hello, welcome to the discussion!

    If you are referring to push notifications on your desktop, you most likely have Facebook as an internet account on your MacBook. You can withdraw from your account, or disable notifications for it.

    Open system preferences > Internet accounts

    Select Facebook

    Uncheck the Notifications tab to disable the notifications or click on the "-" button to remove the account

    Unless you're 'home sharing', which he does not seem like you are, two libraries (macbook and iMac) are distinct, so a change does not affect the other.  Best way to test would be to remove a few songs you can download easily and see if it changes.  But I don't think it will be a problem.

  • MacBook Air (old 2009) the Lion OS upgrade

    I have an old Macbook Air 2009 running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.  I also have a Macbook Pro, who ran the Mavericks when buying, but I've updated free in Yosemite.

    I would like to know if I can rank up to my old Macbook air Lion to the Mavericks.  If not, I have a Snow Leopard drive, should I switch to that instead or it would be wiser to stick to Lion?

    If you are satisfied with the MacBook Air running 10.7 performance upgrade 10.8 ( Mt Lion) are at the Apple Web site. I have provided the link. Mavericks (10.9) has a lot of memory more 10.7 and 10.8 were probably not be a good idea to upgrade to. Snow Leopard was 10.6 so would be going backwards. If your computer is too slow with 10.7 then back to 10.6, which is even less destitute of resources that 10.7 is would be a good choice. The thing to remember is that Apple is no longer provides updates for older versions of the operating system which make the computer more vulnerable to security problems.

  • MacBook air crashes after the release of sleep since the upgrade of the sierra

    Began to notice that since I upgraded my macbook air 2015 to sierra, system crashes. The trigger is always when I wake the sleep system (whether it is by opening cover or press a key). Issue is intermittent and may not be reproduced every time. I contacted apple support and they recommended resetting the SMC (ctrl + shift + cmd) but that didn't help either. I also did a check of filesystem (fsck-fy) and which seems to be very well so.

    I noticed others seem to be faced with similar problems and a common theme that I noticed was that both we seem to have an installed tardisk. Not sure if this could be a factor?

    While it is not any loss of data, the question is certainly annoying and disruptive to work.

    The same question was observed at about 7 times since the update of the sierra. Containing the report of Etrecheck to the breast

  • 2015 MacBook Air SSD adapter

    I'm working on an Air of MacBook 2015 for a customer.  The user spilled liquid on the keyboard, and now it does not start.  They took for a genius, whose repair estimate was high enough that they decided to buy a new MBP instead.  I restored their data from a backup and they are in good shape now, but now I want to wipe SSD of the MBA to keep their personal data to end up in the wrong hands.  Two days later and I still can't find an adapter that will allow me to access the drive on another Mac (I don't have an another MBA from 2015 to use).  Any of you know where I can find an adapter to do so, in order to connect to it and wipe it off?  Here are the specs:

    MacBook Air Core i5 - early 2015

    Model #: A1466 (EMC 2925)

    256 GB SSD (Samsung model #: MZ-JPV256R/0 has 2)

    The SSD has a 16 + configuration 12 pins on one side and a configuration pins 11 + 14 on the other.

    Link for reference: http://www.memory4less.com/samsung-ssd-mz-jpv256r-0a2

    I know Macs is very much a moving target because they always change their configurations, but this model came out a few years, and I'm a little surprised that I can't find any SATA or USB adapter for it.  Any ideas how I can erase the disc without physically assault would be greatly appreciated.

    OWC can have a speaker or you can find them on Amazon. Depends on what the SSD card is exactly in the computer. Some Apple computers do not use the standard pinout that Samsung and other manufacturers use to commercial cards, instead they use those who are owners. However, if the card has been damaged then it will be useless.

    Standard PCIe SSD cards have only a pinout on the map, not two, as you can see in the link you provided.

  • possible to use from 2010 to 2012 macbook air SSDS?

    Hello

    Accidentally, I bought the wrong hard drive for my macbook air from 2012.

    I bought a 2010-2011 ssd and it does not fit. Is there a converter/adapter that I can use to adapt the ssd in my macbook air 2012?

    Thank you

    Dave

    If it does not fit, there is no way to make it work.

    Ciao.

  • About the hardware warranty for macbook air, purchased through the education online store

    Hi I bought a macbook air yesterday by UK online education store, but when I check the warranty on the equipment, I find that it is only one year instead of 3 years, when the policy changed?

    The three-year warranty is an extra cost item.

    The one year warranty is standard warranty.

  • MacBook Air cannot find the printer wireless

    My MacBook Air cannot 'see' my wireless printer and will print when connected by USB.  I lived every suggestion troubleshooting support site HP could offer and they sent me here.  I don't think there is a problem with the printer or the network because I can print my husband very well from my phone or MacBook Air.  I can't find the settings on his computer that are different from those settings on mine, and we are both running iOS 10.11.4.  I would like to advice or suggestions.

    Thanks in advance!

  • MacBook air suddenly slowed the navigation on all browsers

    Hello
    My macbook suddenly idle air navigation on all browsers over the last two days. I checked for viruses, malware and did a disk cleanup. But that did not help. It is not a DNS problem. I checked the internet speed, and it is optimal. I borrowed another macbook air and compared it simultaneously on the same wireless connection and my macbook air is on all fours. FileValut is not enabled. I'm on El captain. What else could be the problem? Any help, guidance would be much appreciated.

  • Can I reset my MacBook Air and restore the backup I made before to reduce others' storage space?

    Hello

    so I have the 126 GB MacBook Air. My problem is that the other takes 87 GB!

    So can I reset my laptop and restore the backup later like you do with iPhones to reduce the "other"?

    I guess this could work, but I'm afraid something away...

    I hope that there is someone who can help me!

    Thank you!

    There is nothing necessarily wrong with 'other' as long it's documents, etc. that you need.

    Make a backup and a restore just grow what you have now. I would not recommend it.

    If you don't think the number is correct you can reindex to see if that changes it: Spotlight: how to re - index folders or volumes - Apple Support

  • MacBook Air stuck in the installation during the upgrade to windows 7 to 8

    I have windows 7 installed on my macbook air and today I got windows 8 pro upgrade for upgrading my macbook air to windows 8 and made sure I had bootcamp 5 installed. the first time I tried to install it went well until I got to the section where it says customize when you start windows 8 and none of my keys or trackpad work in it, I can't get past the section even pressing on enter. the second time I tried to install trackpad ++ is supposed to be the best driver to trackpad for windows 7 and 8 and thought that could make me past the Customize step and who does not. and I went as far to plug my usb wireless mouse that works with windows 7 and tried at my friends House who has windows 8 and y and the custom still mouse appear.  What should I do to get my trackpad work / what can I do to get past the custom screen. If I turn off my macbook air and then when I restart it says windows 8 installation failed, return to the original windows operating system (windows 8)

    (the preferences screen)

    -p.s. I write this on another computer and my mac is a macbook air mid 2013 with all installed bootcamp drivers

    This seems to be a known issue with trackpad Apple for Windows drivers and apparently only for Air. It is recommended to plug in a USB mouse, go into Device Manager and disable the devices on trackpad (Apple Multitouch and Apple Multitouch mouse under Interface devices), install the updates, restart the PC and then re-enable these devices. (then you can detach the USB mouse).
