Hello

Just to let you know, OS X only requires about 9 GB of free storage space. That does not take into account photos, music, documents, notes, etc.

Restart your Mac after the deletion of data to see a difference in storage space.

  • MacBook Pro display problem

    Hello members of the community.

    As of recently, I have noticed some glitches when feeding on my MacBook or awakened from his sleep.

    The colors are distorted, usually with pink, green, or yellow blobs. Blobs cannot entirely replace the colors, they appear to be contained in a element would normally be. For example. the menu bar will be partially pink and white, but pink does not leave the menu bar in this area, and the Office has green lines on it.

    I tried to take a screenshot, but the problem resolves in about 20 seconds, but it's a recurring problem.

    It happens when I wake up, connection or not. I had also certain powers serious and problems of performance, such that my MagSafe LED would not illuminate when plugged on rare occasions, fan could turn unnecessarily, graphics performance were SUPER slow, and the health of my battery was running out quickly. I actually ran a report on the system at 2 different times and my quality of full load is depleting of 1.2% per charge cycle, which is very worrying. I went from 6281 mAh mAh 6138 maximum capacity after two cycles of load. I'm tracking closely it because at this rate, my battery will survive only at load cycles about 150 instead of the 1000 expected, gives me the idea that this could very well be a bad battery. The computer is also warm to the touch while you sleep, not connected to the power supply. I NAP active but even taking into account should not be hotter my iPhone did the same thing.

    I have reset the SMC, and it solved a couple of problems. The charger works fine now and my performance improved considerably (which made me feel better, either it is a high-performance laptop, a 11-inch MacBook Air should not he surpass), and battery life has improved. I feel even if it uses a lot of power in his sleep. Maybe I need to turn off the NAP and see if that makes a difference. The graphic bug still persists however, and I don't have enough time to see if the max battery is depleting again.

    In regards to the bug, is there something that can be done? Basically, I want to assure you that I took all appropriate measures or if someone else has this problem to see if it can be software related instead of my computer.

    I have the entry level MacBook Pro with the retina, last generation.

  • Network with the MacBook Pro 15 "problems

    My new MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2015 retina) has 16 GB memory MHz DDR3.

    2.8 GHz Intel Core I & and an AMD Radeon R9 M370x PCie, in addition to an integrated

    Chipset Intel Iros Pro model. I am running OS X El Carolina Version 10.11.6, with 12 Parallels and Windows 7 for a few

    the company's programs, but I mainly work on the Mac side.

    An intermittent connection problem became constant after a week of using the computer.  My router DLink DSL (model 2750B) is two feet away from the computer.  In the system preferences / iCloud, I get "There was an error connecting to server Apple ID" my MacPro, iPad Samsung Galaxy S7 and Air 2 all connect with the same router wireless without any problem. (All my OTHER computers connected also with the same Apple ID and password without problem.  IMac 2012, MacPro, 2012 MacBook Pro, iPad 2 and the new iPad 2 Air)) I have a screenshot of the error message "None of your preferred networks are available" and in the same time to a list of all available networks, including my own.  Several times, I click on my network and get the response "the xxxxxxnetwork could not be contacted."

    I solved problem with Verizon, my provider, yesterday, and the routine test found that I have an intense tone, but the computer could not complete the test routine.  I ran "Diagnoses" several times this evening - this is after 23:00, and the report suggests that I will review wi - if recommended (fact), that I have a crowded WiFi channel (almost anyone else is in the building at this late hour) and I have to reboot the router (I did several times) and that maybe I should join a Wi - Fi network network that is associated with the Internet (like mine that works for all other devices.)

    Any suggestions on how to solve problems, or I would return the computer.  It's beautiful, and I spent a lot of time updating, installation, customization, before this stop of a Wi - Fi.  I had to buy a new router, but tests with Verizon made me doubt that a new router would solve this problem.

    Thanks for all the wisdom and strategies.  Maggie2012

  • Startup MacBook Pro-comment problems prevent health going to disk/check once again

    My 13 inch Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9.5 (said mid-2012, but it was purchased in fall 2014) has had problems starting

    A few weeks ago the computer is stuck on the loading screen (white, with the Apple and the buffering of spinning icon) without marketing properly. After you have manually turned off and left for a long time he worked well on the next test, so I took care of it has been saved and so didn't think much, and it works pretty well in recent weeks, sometimes being a little slow but that very occasionally and not debilitatingly so and it probably is not related to this problem.

    This morning it was still once stuck on the loading screen, and try again in 5 or 6 times solves nothing. The VRAM reset did not help either. After an attempt to boot into safe mode (filled a little progress bar then disappeared and the computer continued to buffer without purpose), I once again reset the NVRAM and tried a different boot safe mode, with the same results. But this time I left it half an hour or so and on the next attempt (start normally) it miraculously worked a new and everything seems functional. After a new backup with a preparation period slightly extended backup (at least half an hour on the first abandoned attempt, then at least 15 minutes, until correct on the second trial has started), although it is common on my computer, I have enough fear turn the computer off and tempt fate again, if I want to see what can be done now.

    What should I do to check the health of the disk, potentially fix it, find out why this is happening and avoid this problem again in the future?

    I decided to watch from the disk utility and am confused by the Setup program. There is an 'APPLE HDD Media HTS541010A9E662' entry in the list, with a "MacIntoshHD" paragraph below, and both have different information displayed... I ran check disk on the higher level entry and it seems to be out very well ("the Volume Recovery HD seems to be OK"), but I haven't run one on the low level input as it says my computer may be "slow and unresponsive" while doing so, and I'm not entirely sure of what use there.

    It cannot be storage associated with as I stil have 610 gb of free 1 terra (although a large part of what I have (130 GB) is in the other category for a reason any).

    So a week ago, I got my board logik replaced under the scheme where Apple do for free and when I got back that I updated the OS to El Capitan, and since then, my macbook was restart itself after the screen messes up, as there lines horizontally will go across the screen, the screen turns blue with vertical lines or he'll usually scrambled and the right part of the screen is on the left and the left side is on the right. This happens usually when I watch shows online, I bought a new external hard drive yesterday to replace my old and I did a full backup time machine, which took about 6 hours, I left alone and did not touch my MacBook all the time so he was backing only, and so it didn't plant once then when I look at something online it could crash a couple of times in an hour. It happens on safari and chrome.
    Guidance on how I can resolve this issue? I plan to do a clean install of El Capitan, I know that it is usually a last resort, I already have the stick bootable installation, I was wondering if anyone had any idea what to do?
    Thank you very much

  • 2012 Macbook pro display problem

    Hi everyone, so I bought a used Macbook 2012 pro and this is my second day with her. I picked it up upward with one hand the other day (I know you shouldn't) I tried to grab the book I had sitting under. Anyway, when I did, I got vertical lines running through the screen! I ask it immediately and simply applied a bit of pressure again left (I held from same side) and it happens again. The right did not have that. In addition, the computer went ahead and rebooted on its own a few seconds later. I'm new to Mac and I was wondering if it's just because I put pressure or if the previous owners damaged in anyway. I have 14 days to return if I have a problem.

    Thank you in advance!

    If your MBP is a retina 15 ", this may apply:

  • After El Capitan on new Macbook Pro Mail problems

    Mail doesn't work properly anymore now that I use a new mid-2015 MB Pro with El Capitan.  Non-Pourriel, including remittances from my own account to myself, is marked junk and put in the Junk folder. Mail that is not marked as spam is also put in the Junk folder. I can't find the rhyme or reason for the choice of the filter. I always install the latest updates on all of my devices. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

    There are two ways to designate as junk mail. One is based on the local 'training' that you used in the Mail application. These emails are marked in Brown, the other method is by e-mail based service provider on whatever rules or databases they use. These emails end up in the Junk folder, but are not marked in Brown.

    The only way to deal with the second type is to open a session in the portal provider email, change your preferences or update the address book provider.

  • 2 MagSafe charger or Macbook Pro problem

    Hello! I recently bought a Macbook Pro of the retina (at the beginning of 2015) here in Singapore, with the prepackaged MagSafe 2 charger with it. I always charge my computer while using it, and usually, my uses are extremely lightweight.

    Well, here's the problem... Yesterday, when I was about to plug my charger to my Macbook, I realized that there are very obvious stains in the Macbook port itself. Look at the head of the charger, it is not even and seems to have slightly burnt and melted.

    I am still able to load and use my computer very well, but I fear that if this continues, this degrades quickly in the fire. My sister advised me to swap the Macbook Pro itself for a new one, which I suppose is possible through discoloration, but despite everything, is the Macbook Pro the problem? Reading the various forums online suggests that this is the problem with the MagSafe 2 magazine.

    Please share some thoughts, thank you!

    "Recently" may be in a period of Exchange or not.  Whatever it is, you have at least a 1 year warranty (AppleCare that extends to 3) and you must use to find the answer before it becomes more than a gene and damage the MBP.

  • Strange intermittent problem with macbook pro

    Hey there ppl.

    So, I have a Macbook Pro (15-inch, mid-2014, retina), processor i7 2.2 GHz, 16 GB of memory. Running OS X El Capitan.

    My problem is a strange, because it is only intermittently. ID say like 10-15% of the time. But its very frustrating and annoying when it does and because I am working on my computer (poker), it's also costing me. in any case, the problem usually occurs after I've been using the computer for 1, 5-3 hours or more. Usually ill be playing poker online, listen to spotify and use of the internet for stuff randomly. Everything will be fine and then suddenly ill notice that my mouse cursor will be suddenly shot through the screen occasionally. as ill be goes well with the cursor but it'll jump to the left, a couple of inches or more. Also bad note that some of my habit of 'clicks' record, so ill use the calculator for example and badly want to press 543 and maybe 5 records, but when I go to click on the 4 it does not work, and ill have to like wait a second, then click New to register the click.

    Also, if im typing something, as in poker, I have sometimes to take note of the way in which an opponent has played a helping hand or whatever, a letter or a space press custom register, so ill be typing a phrase and the space bar is and I'll have to press the key once the couple , then a letter will not register, etc.. Sound very disorienting and made it difficult to continue the task IM because it does not smoothly because of the LAG, unregistered, mouse jumping, etc.

    IM really not sure of what the root of the problem and what it is. Ive has run the malware anti-malware bytes, but that has not solved the problem. Usually when that happens ill try to restart the computer, or stop and return back but generally the problem persists. Then, after some time, maybe 20 to 45 minutes or so, when I try to use the computer it works normally with any of these problems.

    Very bizzare. Any help or insight is appreciated, let me know if you need more information

  • 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

  • Is 128GB hard drive for macbook pro enough space?

    I intend to buy a new macbook pro retina, I have a MBP (2011) older currently.  I am concerned about the space on the new MBP.  I want based on what I've read, I have to buy the 256 GB version, but as someone who is not downloading music, (flow), I also run movies/tv, the only thing I really keep it on my computer there's picture. At the moment, my main storage for my pictures is my phone, I've used so far about 11 GB just for that.  Other that that, I could see myself downloading maybe a show of film/tv and from iTunes, but I look at those on my apple TV or simply download on my phone so I can take it to the gym, and I delete them after I'm done watching.  I'm mainly looking to buy a new MBP for school, my only current became a bit slow and clunky, and I think it's time for an upgrade. Don't you think that the space will be a problem for me?

    Thank you!!!

    Hi Spencermatt1989

    If you choose to buy the 128 GB version, you can still use an external hard drive or SD card for your photos and other data to save space on the internal drive. I use a card of 128GB SD I leave my iTunes store and photo library.
