MacBook pro 251 GB almost complete with "user"

If storage in flash memory of my Macbook Pro that runs on El Capitan 10.11.4 said I don't have that left 30 GB of storage. I tried to find large files and found that my folder 'User' and more specifically my file has 181,15 GB of data. I went through all my records and none of them add up to that much, not even close. I thought maybe it was the music or photos, but in the 'storage', it is said that 114 GB is taken up by "other".

Can someone help to find which takes a lot of space?

How to free space on the hard drive

  1. You can remove the data from your file except for the folder/Home/Library /.
  2. Visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the free space on your hard drive.
  3. See also release space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
  4. See where my disk space gone?.
  5. Remember to empty the Recycle Bin to reclaim space.
  6. Replace the disc with a larger. Check out OWC of readers, tutorials and boxes tools.
  7. Use OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are.
  8. See Board: what is 'Other' and what I can do about it?-Apple Support communities.

  • MacBook pro 2 logon screen starts with no arrow cursor and must be restarted

    2014 Macbook Pro screen Retina 2 13 "opening session starts with no arrow cursor and must be restarted once every five tests.  When the computer reboots, message appears asking you if it must open programs that had started to load or cancel.  It is a recent problem that does not occur two months ago.  Once restarted, everything seems to be OK.  That is what it is?

  • MacBook Pro OS 10.8.5 multi-user login loop.

    Suddenly my Macbook Pro mid-2010 Mountain Lion 10.8.5 running would not allow any user to connect.  The system starts successfully at the connection of the login screen.  I have 2 users on the window, a user with the administrator and standard user rights.  When I enter the password for each user with that it seems to work the colorful spinning ball and then the grey train like thing.

  • Information retrieval of dead macbook pro drive without purchase mac with the same amount of disc

    I'm completely lost right now and honestly had a really bad time in the Mac store. I love Macs, the staff is usually great, but I ended up leaving enough frustrated after a few experiences of confusion with the sales guy myself.

    So, I entered the mac store with a 2011 13 inch Macbook Pro which has got water damage. It turns out that it was $750 to fix and I decided that I would just get a new one. It was the hardest or disc information you can have, and I've had about 263 on 500 or something used. I want photos and documents to browse and choose what is important.

    Then they assured me that they could extract the information and make a transfer with my computer, but I have to buy a laptop with the same amount of data - so that the Macbook Air for $1,500 instead of $1000 Macbook Air, I was going to learn how to do the transfer. They kept saying it's a case all or nothing-, they cannot choose the data from the hard drive, nor can they give it to me in a way that does not require a complete transfer of the computer and so a computer with a drive for.

    Is it possible that I can do this by a third party? Or download the information from the hard drive on something other than a full computer...?  I honestly don't need, want or have the capability of the computer with the disc like means. I just need a computer for school and would like to stick with the Mac, and the hard drive more small $1000, that's what I can afford right now.

    Thank you and sorry if it came out confused, I'm just really frustrated, I lost all my information to my own stupid mistake and cannot repair.

  • Unusually slow MacBook pro, as well as problems with power.

    I'm looking for help on setting my Mac, any help from anyone would be great!

    Recently, my MacBook Pro (running El Capitan) at the end of 2013 model started running really slow unawares (before that it was perfect). No hardware or software, changes began to really randomly goes slowly. My mac has always very well maintained, regular clean ups of junk, utility to check disk done often, no useless apps or data.

    Other questions, I'll have with power up the mac off is when I press the power button to turn off it starts then a few turns (don't not even to Apple to loading off-screen, shines the screen but then powers), I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds approximately to get power properly, when I close the lid without turning off then open it I went to the login screen instantly but then close the book Mac downs completely.

    I ran the Apple Diagnostics, no problem. I also ran repair disk utility, no change. I even did a clean install of the operating system and there was a very minor change, but always far make the level it's at.

    Thank you

    A slow Mac may be due to not enough available storage space.

    Click on your Apple  menu at the top left of your screen.

    In the menu drop down click on about this Mac , and then select the storage tab.

    Your Mac is the bare minimum needs 8 GB of storage available just for the operating system not to mention all your personal data.

  • El Capitan 10.11.2 disconnects from the network of Canon printer macbook pro after each use but with the same OS version iMac remains connected

    How to prevent my Macbook Pro El Capitan 10.11.2 going to disconnect my network printer Canon?   My iMac running the same OS version don't unplug and behaves like any normal wireless connection.  I deleted the printer and added back, reset printing, etc. nothing works.  Given that the Mac is 6 "each other and 5 feet of printer during the last test, it must be something specific to the Macbook.  The Macbook identifies the printer after each reboot the printer as printer Canon right, but once the task is completed does not have the printer.  Everything is on the same wireless network. Computer Windows also recognizes the printer and it keeps alive after printing.

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

  • MacBook Pro (15 inch, end 2013) with MacOS Sierra 10.12: kernel_task maxing out CPU with external display

    I have a maxed out end 2013 the MacBook Pro Core i7 to 2.6 GHz, 16 GB of DDR3 RAM, 1 TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 M 2048 MB, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB.

    Also, I have a DELL P2415Q Display 24 inches (3840 x 2160) using Thunderbolt, are involved through the headphone jack and use a USB for lightning to recharge my iPhone.

    I upgraded to macOS Sierra the day he is released and had no problems until this morning. I unplugged my external screen and speakers and used my laptop for about 15 minutes, the battery, and then returned to my office and plugged my Thunderbolt, rear speakers display in and my CPU shot at 100% and never came back down. My Mac is essentially useless because kernel_task is eating all my CPU and to prevent another asks to enter the CPU.

    I have since audited equipment - everything was fine, reset the NVRAM and I tried to erase IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext .plist files but I couldn't on my Mac (trying to follow this guide, started in Safe Mode and everything then went to try and find the file and my Mac just does not have it). When my external screen is plugged if I'm doing anything CPU intensive (videophone, opening of Chrome, etc.) then my kernel_task gets mad again, and the only way to move is to unplug my screen. Connect my iPhone to charge the tips also my kernel_task as well. I followed my internal temperatures, and nothing was out of the ordinary, to cold currently at about 140 °.

    At this point, it seems that any time that puts something on the charging system and increase the temperature internal internal components of my Mac kernel_task maxes my CPU, which brings my Mac to its knees.

    Any ideas how to fix? Is this just a major bug in 10.12?

  • MacBook Pro 8.2 - almost hourly kernel panic leading to restarts

    I was faced with frequent kernel panics in the last month or so and took my MBP to an Apple authorized service provider, which says that the problem is with my logic board but couldn't provide me with a diagnostic report of my machine that said the Board was at fault. I had my logic board replaced the year last of the expanded program from Apple. Although this was, I myself a new HARD drive and 16 GB of RAM (Corsair) as well. Everything worked fine until a few months ago when my MBP will re-start once at boot. In recent weeks, the problem has become chronic and it restarts so random (no special application or steps seems to trigger)

    I do not trust the FSAA here in India, especially as I think they are trying to make quick money sell me a ~ $700 repair. Can someone look through the reports of panic and guide me on what seems to be the problem?

  • Is my MacBook Pro 15 "end 2013 compatible with Thunderbolt 3 devices (if you are using an adapter)

    I have a MacBook Pro 15 "end of 2013, 16 GB, 1 TB SSD, 2.3 GHz i7 running OS X 10.11.4." My SSD is maxed out so I plan to buy a box 2 Berry drive Thunderbolt and secure it with a 1 TB SSD.

    I know Thunderbolt enclosure 2 still available, but lightning 3 cases are starting to hit the market. I wonder if a Thunderbolt 3 box will be compatible. Because I'll probably replace it the MacBook Pro 12-18 months and I assume - rightly or wrongly - that Apple will adopt 3 bolt of lightning on the MacBook Pro, Mac Pro and iMac during this period, I would prefer Thunderbolt 3 for scalability.

    I am aware that the cables are physically different, and 3 bolt of Lightning has adopted the USB - C standard. My question is: if I buy the cable or a suitable adapter, I'll be able to use a box Thunderbolt 3? (I know there will be no performance difference; however, it is scalability).

    Thunderbolt 3 is backward compatible with earlier versions of Thunderbolt.

  • MacBook Pro update won't complete download

    There is an update of safety for my MBP. I have disabled Avira, network connectivity is good... Download arrives at 149 MB 414 MB and just download indicator goes away. If I click UPDATE again, it grey out for a second or two and just turns on. I have to close the app store app and reopen it to click on UPDATE (not ALL, it's the only expectation of update) so he can ask "Download & Restart"... Once I recognize, download starts but turns off again at 149 MB.

    This happens each side the 2.4 and 5 ghz my connection. I rebooted several times MBP to nothing does not.

    Thank you.

    Try to download and install the update in 'safe' mode: try safe mode if your Mac does not commissioning - Apple support.

    I disabled Avira...

    It is not enough to simply disable bad designed "anti-virus" garbage. It must be uninstalled in accordance with his instructions. Write back if you need some help with that.

  • With cable of HDD to SSD Macbook Pro mid-2012

    I've recently upgraded to SSD (Samsung Evo 850) of the HARD drive on my Macbook pro mid-2012. However, the installation of the SSD has been very painful. I tried to use in recovery mode disk utility, several times but it fails to remove or mount the SSD drive. I thought it was the faulty SSD. Then I hung the SSDS via a USB port and proceeded to install OS X on it (using my HARD drive). The SSDS works very well with the USB key, so I put it in and hooked up with the flex cable that was previously used for my HARD drive. However, this does not work, the operating system sees that there is a reader hooked, sees the name, size and etc, but does not charge, gives me the sign of question mark folder, which means there is no hanging drive. So I think it's something with the HARD drive, SATA cable. But the cable works perfectly when used with the HARD disk. So I was wondering if the HARD drive cable that comes with Macbook Pro mid-2012 is compatible with the SSD. I watched several videos of people the SSD HARD drive upgrade, but they all seem to be using the same cable. Any ideas what could be the problem or if I need a different type of cable? Thank you.

  • Question about webcams with Macbook Pro 13-inch, mid 2010

    Bear with me as I am the most fundamental basic Mac users. I am currently using a MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2010) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 I don't use Skype or FaceTime or something like that. Recently, I joined an online course in which they said I need a webcam, headset and microphone so that I can communicate with my instructor and discussions in class.

    I have really no idea what hardware inside is on my laptop. Is the built in camera something that could be used for this purpose? Or do I need to buy these separately three elements to make this work? And if yes, are you easy to install and can anyone recommend something good, but also low-cost as possible.

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Your built in FaceTime, camera is sufficient. This is the idea. outdoor cameras are mostly a thing of the past. If the internal webcam is broken, an external is always an option repair vs.
