Help! My Macbook Air has a high memory pressure.
Product: Macbook Air in early 2015
Plug-
256 GB of flash storage
1.6 GHz processor
4 GB memory
OS X Yosemite - Version 10.10.5
A few weeks memory of my Macbook Air pressure continued to increase, most of the time he was in the green zone, but it has been several times that I had the pressure of memory to be in the yellow box with a few tabs in Google Chrome. In addition, the Kernel_Task continues to rise as it was around 380-390 MB a few weeks ago and now he's moved more than 500 MB. I tried to restart and stop the computer several times as an attempt to decrease the Kernel_Task and even thought that the memory pressure is high, the CPU doesn't have a lot of problems, because it is essentially inactive between 65 and 80 percent.
What it looks like without all the eleven (shown) Google Chrome processes running? You should never see Swap used, and that tells me that you are using too many applications for your 4 GB memory available on your machine. With this RAM limited, you have to be very selective of what applications and browser tabs are open (you use) quit everything.

my macbook air has a file flashing with an exclamation mark
I bought a MacBook air from a friend of a friend for $ 100 (buying good right?) and they said all I need's a new hard drive, they tell me exactly what was wrong, even if I have some questions about what they were doing to get in this State, but no luck even when you use disk utility do not erase or restore anything...

MacBook Air has fallen down the stairs and hit a wall
I got my backpack open with my macbook to the inside and I was dragging down the stairs, not noticing that the Backpack was opened and at halfway down the stairs (about 3 steps down, carpet stairs), my macbook slipped on the backpack and fell down the stairs hit a wall.
I rushed to my macbook, there was only a dent on the side but nothing major, I turned it on and everything is quite normal, login screen is correct...
Everything seems fine, I just want to know if I need to check for any serious damage, may be for Apple... etc.
I had great fear, I had dropped my macbook on carpet floor about 2 or 3 times, he fell on the wooden floor, there was no serious damage, there are a few bumps on the side, but nothing super serious.
And once again; Everything seems fine, I just want to know if I need to check for any serious damage, may be for Apple... etc.
If it was my computer, I certainly will consider to Apple. Let them watch over and advise you how to proceed.
I hope you have a good backup!

How can I tell if my macbook air has a virus?

When or if this happens, the answer is to force, exit the browser; and
see if you can start the browser without extensions. There are other

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

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.

Please delete "Little Snitch" and see if the panic stop.
Any third party software that is not installed on the App Store or by drag-and - drop in the Applications folder and uninstall by drag - move to the trash, is a modification of the system.
Whenever you delete changes to the system, they must be eliminated completely, and the only way to do this is to use the uninstall tool, if any, provided by the developers, or follow their instructions. If the software has been removed incompletely, you may redownload or reinstall even to finish the job.
I never install modifications of the system myself, and except as stated in this comment, I do not know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find this information.
Here are some general guidelines to help you get started. Suppose you want to remove the so-called "BrickMyMac" (a hypothetical example). First of all, menu using the product, check if there is one, for instructions. Not finding here, look at the Web site, let's say www.brickmymac.com. (Maybe it's not the name real site, if necessary, search the Web for the name of the product). If you don't find anything on the Web site or in your search, contact the developer. While you are waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be a request here as "Uninstall BrickMyMac." If this is not the case, open "BrickMyMac.pkg" and look for an uninstall button. The uninstall program can also accessible by clicking on the button customize, when one exists.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Generally, you will need to restart the computer in order to perform an uninstall. Until you do this, there may be no effect, or the unpredictable effects.
If you can't remove the software in any other way, you will have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third party software, unless you're sure you know how to uninstall in the contrary case, it can create problems which are very difficult to solve.
Try to remove the complex system of changes by hunting for files by name, often will not work and can make the problem worse. The same goes for 'utilities' as the 'AppCleaner"designed to remove software.

MacBook Air missing hard drive space
I noticed that the free space on the hard drive on my Macbook Air has been quickly disappear even if I had not been adding lots of new files, certainly not enough to account for the 10s of gigabytes that disappeared last week. I cleaned it of useless media files, which gives him another 20 GB of space. The status bar it reflects accurately at first, but when I started the computer this morning, it had lost 30 GB of this adjustment.
After you run WhatSize DaisyDisk, I see that they have both claim that my Air uses Go 296, which is in agreement with the about this Mac, but when you look at the size of the actual folders, there is no way that they measure is added to this amount.
Using Get Info, I got the following:
14.43 applications gb
Users 42,45
System of 7.77
Library of 8.95
That all adds up to about 74 GB of used space. WhatSize actually gives me different numbers. Where in the world are the other 220 or so lack of gbs? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(Note: although I typed this out, I noticed that about 8 GB of free space have disappeared in the status bar)
Here are a few screenshots of WhatSize and disk utility. Of THE claims that 'other' includes 283 GB, but I can't understand what is included in whatever measure it as 'other '.
If you want more accurate stats from the about this Mac, then to re-index your drive: Spotlight - how to re - index folders or volumes - Apple Support.
Free space on hard drive
1. see Lion-Lion/mountain/storage of the Mavericks display.
2. you can remove the data from your file except for the folder/Home/Library /.
3. visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the free space on your hard drive.
4. also see release space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5 see where my disk space gone?.
6 see the storage view.
You must empty the trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider to replace the drive with a larger. Check out OWC of readers, tutorials and boxes tools.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are.

Sharing printers has stopped working for me. I have an Epson Stylus Photo R340 connected by USB to my Mac Mini end of 2012, and until recently, my MacBook Air has been able to print to it. Now, he 'thinks' the printer is not connected. Computers are on WiFi. Both computers have an OS X 10.11.5 now and the latest driver of Epson printer. Printer sharing is enabled in preferences, sharing, and "Share this printer on the network" is checked in the preferences, printers and Scanners. I went through the hoops to remove the printer and add it again on the Mini and the MacBook Air.
Of course, the Mini prints very well via USB. Someone has an idea (that I have not already tried) how to get the sharing of printers to work again?
Other sharing services work, such as the file and screen sharing?
