Other is 90 GB to 256 GB hard drive

Hello

I cleaned my MacBook Air to get rid of files and emails etc. However the amount of the 'Other' remains at 90 GB of my drive. My movies, music, photos, etc. is that at 60GB - I followed the steps in support for 'Others' positions, but still it doesn't move down. Any ideas appreciated. I'm under El Capitan.

Thank you very much

CAtherine

First of all understand what OTHER includes:

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. This should allow you to determine which files to remove or disable charge it to an external HARD drive.

Don't forget to empty the trash. Then only the space is allocated for the new data.

Ciao.

  • What would support other mobile next to Tecra A4 my HARD drive

    Toshiba Tecra A4 model number: PTA40E 01500UEN.

    I have a laptop, the foregoing, bought in May2005, so seven years old and starting to show its age.
    I have three hard drives that I use with the laptop, all internal, so I simply unscrew the cover on the underside of the laptop, unplug the internal hard drive and plug it into one of the other drives, according to what I intend to do. All the three internal hard disk are Windows XP, based, but with different applications installed.
    This also works well for me if one of the drives fails. I have two backups etc.

    What I want to know is, what other brand/model of Toshiba laptops would support my drives outside a for like Toshiba Tecra A4.

    Could I connect my hard drives internal on any other laptop model Toshiba and they work very well?
    It s only if and when I buy another laptop if used or new, then I might as well buy a Toshiba laptop that will allow me to plug it into one of my three internal hard drives that I currently use?

    I understand I think laptop internal WHAT BIOS s should recognize the hard disk and the operating system installed on the hard disk. Who else has done and model Toshiba laptops will work with my current Toshiba Tecra A4 of the internal hard drives? Are there, is it possible?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    There are two types of interfaces of HDD: IDE (PATA) and SATA interface.
    As far as I know the old Tecra A4 supports the controller IDE hard disks IDE should be compatible with this laptop.

    In some cases the IDE controller would treat an IDE HDD up to 120 GB because of 28-bit LBA
    Larger hard drives (> 120GB) are supported by ATA - 6 and superior controller for ATA - 6 supports 48-bit LBA.

  • Windows 8 Installation, no HARD drive detected

    Hi guys,.

    My first post here and hope I can find a solution here. I have the Alienware 17 X R4. My main HARD drive is the 256 GB SSD. So, apparently, I had windows 8.1 and everything was working fine until I don't know how I got the 10 installed top windows. So now, I have 10 windows on it. After using it for a day, that I wanted to do a clean install just so I could get rid of some unnecessary errors. I created a bootable USB stick using the alienware respown. When I tried to do a clean install I just cleaned my C drive and chose the option to completely clean my drive. The installation failed, and now I'm left with a computer that does not have an operating system on it. Since nothing did not work I thought of formatting my C drive which I did using the command prompt and also decided to return to windows 8. I had the USB bootable to windows 8. I has not changed anything on the system BIOS configuration, but would still installation system and ensured that I return to the default settings just to be sure.

    I started installation of windows 8 and here my problem, I am not all readers. I had 2 HDD. An SSD is and the other is a regular 1 TB of HARD drive. I don't see any of my hard drives so I can't install windows more. I also ran the full system diagnostics, and it seems all good. I tried to put the discs into the USB port but it would still give me an error. Finally, I read somewhere on the internet to change something in the RAID BIOS to ACHI. I did and that actually worked. But I tried to install windows and when it reaches it took some time and that the installation was not performed. Now I don't know what to do about this. Please someone suggest something, I want to just my computer running with the right settings. I don't want to waste his time. If anyone has an ideas please let me know.

    Thank you

    Don't bother trying to reinstall Windows 8, it is now obsolete. Since you already had put Windows upgraded to Windows 10. Your systems hardware profile is saved with a Microsoft Product Activation Server and considered a Device 10 Windows , this means that you can reinstall clean Windows 10 directly. See here for more information about getting support for Installation of Windows 10:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/download-Windows-10-OEM-and-retail-ISO/

    You must use the right support to Installation of Windows 10 and not a Windows 10 disk recovery you have a system with several hard drives. Make sure that you select the correct edition. Skip the product three times in the course of installation and Windows 10 key it will activate automatically.

    You should not need to prepare and load the SATA drivers for Installation of Windows 10 support, but if you make them instructions are here:

    I'm really skeptical if you can launch the second partition Toshiba ghost image files without using the Symantec Norton Ghost software.

    I created a ghost of the C partition image and placed on the D partition.
    Recover the C partition to start the utility of Ghost and having to use the file D partition .gho image

  • Portege 2010 - clicks of death? -Perhaps the HARD drive is dead

    Hello

    A few minutes ago, I tried to start my portege 2010, who worked a few hours ago. Now, I do not even past the BIOS screen because the disc is of strange noises, as leaders try to enter the post, but fail. I have to admit that yesterday the system froze for no obvious reason but I didn't know that this was due to a failure to come, I just rebooted the machine and it behaved like any other day. So I'm rather perplexed, how the disaster could hit so suddenly. The portege is out of the warranty period, so I guess there is no way get around to buy a new drive. I wonder if this problem is a common problem among the Portégé series, I think I remember an article published online by indicating this.

    Hello Steffen

    If Toshiba STAS 10 000 or more laptop computers Portege 2010 and you find one or 10 other users with the same symptoms of HARD drive, it cannot be any kind of common problem. Common problem is something else.

    According to your description, is it really possible the HARD drive shows signs of dysfunction. All you can do is to watch carefully what happens in the next few days and if the HDD feature fails, you must buy a new HARD drive. All that s!

    If you will be able to start it in some way I recommend you back up all your data (e.g. on USB key) before the HARD disk fails completely.

  • Hard drive MacBook Pro broken?

    Hi all

    Last night my Macbook hung - spinning wheel and non-sponsive so difficult to hold down the power button and I think I have hard disk problems:

    I get the grey folder flashing when I start.

    Boot in safe mode does not work.

    Boot in Apple Hardware test does not work

    I can boot to OS X Utilities (cmd + r) and have tried to restore from a backup and it does not find a local disk to restore. I have a backup stored on the time machine.

    I also tried to restore Mac OS X from the same menu - and even when it does not find a local disk to restore.

    I ran disk in the same menu utility and I do not get an option to check the disk (in gray) or erase disc (also grey).

    Can anyone advise on the next steps before I take it down to the Apple store? Far from being a guru on this stuff! MacBook is 13 "and 5 years with 512 MB hard drive. Ran the Mavericks.

    Thanks in advance!

  • HARD drive type

    I know little about computers and would like to know how to replace my HARD drive.

    The question is, I have to replace it with the same type, I use?

    On the Control Panel, it says the HDD that I use is "ST3320813AS ATA Device.  What type is it?  And he said whatever it is the physical size (2.5 inch?)?

    What brand of HARD drive would be recommended?

    What other information should I buy a new hard drive?

    PS. I'm using Presario SR5838HK PC

    Hello

    The code indicates that it is a Seagate Barracuda ST3320813AS 320 GB 7.2 K 3.5 "SATA Hard Drive:

    http://discountechnology.com/Seagate-Barracuda-ST3320813AS-320GB-7-2k-3-5-SATA-hard-drive

    In fact nearly 100% NORMAL desktops use 3.5 "HDD.

    No, you can buy more (capacity) HARD drive, you can use Seagate or other brands. Seagate has much good and fast HARD drives like the range hybrid. Please check the following information:

    http://www.Seagate.com/do-more/how-to-upgrade-DHD-with-sshd-techology-master-DM/

    Everything you need: 3.5 ", capacity (2 TB is very popular now), large cache (biiger is better) and high speed (at least 7200 RPM) are characteristic of HARD drive, you you are looking for.

    Kind regards.

  • TEMPRO, said one of my HARD drives was 75% or more

    Hello

    I have a Tempro 'Red' alert that says that one of my hard disks reached 75% or more - disk space 111,76 GB Total - free 15,02-GB disk.
    When I check, DATA (E :) has Total 73.2 GB and GB free 67.9 and VISTA (c :)) Total 74.3 GB and 35.2 free GB so individually or combined are they to the Alerted level.))

    Clicking on the alert details sent me to Toshiba which advises me 'cleaning' (done - to little effect) and "empty IBC" (daily).
    Other 'advice' is to buy an external hard drive.

    Should I ignore the alert and monitor disk space myself?
    I am reluctant to spend alerts, which is a new laptop and I being a relative novice?

    Thanks for the pointers!

    Hello

    TEMPRO is just a monitoring tool and you shouldn't worry about these alerts.
    As far as I know the OS Vista creates a small hidden partition which is designed to backup files.

    Maybe the Tempro means this partition however, these alerts are not really important and if you wish, you can disable these notifications in settings Tempro.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the 1 TB HARD drive

    I have a model of retina 13 "early 2015. It has a 256 GB HARD drive and I was wondering if it is possible at this level to 1 TB.

    The MBP of 2015 early is not a regular HD. Its a blade type SSD PCIe. Although it is technically possible to change, I don't think it all 1 TB blade Type PCIe SSD drives out there to replace it with.

  • failure of hard disk drive necessary to reinstall WinXP Home on replacement HARD drive

    I have an of Western Digital HARD drive with my system of operating XP Home 32-bit installed on my primary C: drive.

    I have run the Diagnostics tool online to WD for the reader who found intractable errors on the disc, which indicates an imminent drive failure and an email their technical support confirms the disk needs to be replaced SOON before she completely fails.

    I copied all personal off the drive failed on another drive good files and am now ready to remove the failed drive and install a new replacement main primary HDD and then reinstall my XP Home on it - so - until I started to do this thinking, I would ask for tips in anticipation of a smooth, re - install on the new drive.

    I got a 25 character key and proof of 8-character license key. There is a Microsoft sticker on the back of the pc (that I do not see to read right now, but its there).

    So, I remove the old drive and fit the replacement drive and this format and then install my XP Home - can we see a particular problem with activation?

    concerning

    Depending on whether you have a recovery CD suitable for activation key for your sticker or not, there are three possible courses of action. Each activation of the path should not be a problem unless this procedure has been done several times or your 25-character key fell into the wrong hands.

    If you have a recovery CD

    Make the re-installation, follow the control points in my first post in this thread...

    .. .so how to get XP to date.

    If your recovery media is a service pack before SP3, there is more information on how to get to SP3 in my first post in this thread...

    If you do not have a recovery CD

    I hope that your original drive will have a recovery partition or the means to create a recovery CD. If you can create recovery media do now. In the contrary case and the original disc has a recovery partition make a clone of the original hard disk sector by sector to your new car now. If the clone is successful, i.e., that there are no unreadable sectors, is perhaps the best way to proceed in any case, especially if your PC is in good health other than the imminent failure of your HARD drive. If the clone does not work out, you can always fall back on the new installation. The advantage of a clone is that there is no re-setup software to (updates Windows or Office to give just two examples) and didn't need to be restored. I paid for the partitioning/cloning software and have no experience of all freebies out there to make recommendations, perhaps 10crackers can help with this.

    If you have managed to create a recovery media, you can use it instead of cloning.

    If you clone successfully you can just use it as is, or use the built-in recovery partition that you just cloned to do a clean install.

    If you don't have a recovery media and cannot create an and is unable to successfully clone

    You will have to contact the manufacturer of your PC to see if they can provide recovery media.

  • Backup hard drives Falsh drive

    I have two PC, a desktop one, and the other a laptop.  I want two hard drives to backup system and need about 35 and 36 GB respectively.  I saw a couple of flash drives of 64 GB that are formatted to NTFS (something called) at a reasonable price.  Can I use these as flash drives what?

    My office has a HD 400GO with only 45 GB in use, running on Windows XP Professional Version 2002 and running a Pentium 4 CPU 2.66 GHz with 1.5 GB of RAM.

    My laptop has a GB 136 HD with only 36 GB in use, partitioned to use the operating systems Windows XP Professional 2002 and Windows 7 Edition Home Premium and running a Pentium Dual - Core CPU T4300 2.10 GHz with 2.90 GB of RAM.

    I'd appreciate any help anyone could give me.

    For what you would pay for a 65 GB flash drive, you can buy an external hard drive with at least 1000 GB of capacity.  That would be more reliable, faster and were obviously much more capacity.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • I put a new hard drive in my laptop and when I installed Windows Vista I get this message: "windows cannot configure windows to run on this hardware of computers."

    I put a new hard drive in my laptop and when I install Vista I get this message: "windows cannot configure windows to run on this hardware of computers."  I can't install an oem on a new hard drive version?  This is the portable original in all other respects.

    original title: new hard drive and vista

    Hello

    strange that you can request that

    HP computers have been known to not let you install Vista on a non HP bought replacement hard drive

    There were a few posters with this problem here

    If the OEM disc for this particular laptop, you should be able to reinstall it as many times as you want as long as you have not changed the main material (the motherboard)

    You can change the hard drives, RAM, etc.

    I presume that you boot from the Vista DVD

  • can I reinstall vista, removed hard drive?

    I bought a laptop computer with a hard drive deleted, if I get a new hard then re - install vista if they product key sticker is on the bottom of the laptop?

    Hello

    Licenses, Activation and hardware drivers problems do not work how the other poster tells you

    If this hard drive was put in another computer, it would not work for 2 reasonns.

    1, it will NOT be activated until the preinstaled license OEM, a computer brand, DELL, HP, etc, is related to the original machine it was installed on

    2. it would not in all the probability of starting as this removed hard disk motherboard drivers required in order for it to work on your laptop, not another machine

    many people take a hard drive out so that they can keep them on private data they sell laptop

    also with regard to what the other poster told you about the recovery partition:

    It won't work that on YOUR laptop, NOT another machine, the hard disk may be implemented

    Here's how to reinstall Vista on your laptop:

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc and use your product key

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
