  • Enabling iCloud library fills a storage capacity on macbook air

    So I try to upload my pictures on iCloud to free up storage on my Macbook air.  Besides the fact that this process seems to take forever, I noticed when it goes I'm actually losing space on my hard drive.  This caused the upload stop and gives me the error message indicating that I have no more space on my hard drive and the process cannot continue.  I made sure the storage parameter optimize is on so that I do not download originals to iCloud.  Also, when I turn off iCloud, I don't have storage space.  So I have the feeling that anything that is uploaded is downloaded several times.

    So my question is what is being downloaded, and how to delete to free up more space on my hard drive?

    The use of the photo library of iCloud frees space on your Mac, it uses the same space, as it would if you do not use. So if you don't have enough space on your Mac to fit photos, you'll have enough space to use the photo library.

    Try another service for storage.

  • Hello! Someone has some problem with the haptic on Macbook 12 "2016 function? It does not work on my Mackbook.

    I'm trying to figure if someone has my problem with the haptic on Macbook 12 "2016 function. The option is checked in the preferences system, but it does not work.

    Thank you

    Hello luigi10m,

    Thanks for posting on the Community Support from Apple. From your post, it looks like your haptic feedback does not work when you click using your trackpad and the setting is enabled. I know that this is a great feature and it is important to make it work. I'll be happy to help you.

    First of all, I would like to assure you that in system preferences > Trackpad > clicking silencer is not checked, that might help. In addition, it would be useful to reset the settings of the SCM. You can find instructions here: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    I'll also include those for you here:

    1. Stop the Mac.
    2. Plug the MagSafe or USB - C adapter to a power source and to your Mac.
    3. Use the built-in keyboard, press shift-control-Option on the left side of the keyboard, then press the power button at the same time.
    4. All the keys to unlock, then press the power button to turn on your Mac

    Take care!

  • Hello. I so want to know if there is a way to keep the photos on icloud and get them deleted on your iphone, so that there is no problem of storage of the device

    Hello. I so want to know if there is a way to keep the photos on icloud and get them deleted on your iphone, so that there is no problem of storage of the device.

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

  • problem with storage space - iPhone 4 - 32 GB

    Hello, I have an iphone 4 32 gb. I'm having a problem with storage space. A few days ago, that even though I was taking 5 GB of empty space, a notification appeared that storage is almost full. I deleted about 2 GB of photos and videos. He showed me 2 GB of free space, but after 1 hour again the same notification appeared. As soon as I have emptied my space with about 1 to 2 GB by deleting photos or videos, it is completed with other data.

    How should I solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    What is the exact wording of the message? Could he be referring to iCloud storage?

    Also have you withdrawn your recently delete pictures and videos? Deleted ones is 'saved' for 30 days or more unless you intentionally delete/remove

    Why my iOS device I have more pictures that I can find?

  • There is a problem of storage with the data path [path to hard] store

    I have two sites connected by using a VPN connection over a WAN link. In each site, I have an esxi with several VMS host and operation of replication device of vSphere (v 5.1.1.0 Build 1079383) in each site. In each site, these is also a vCenter server with the device of RVS registered and logged with the other site. All the virtual machines are configured to replicate to the other site.

    In my initial configuration of the RV (first install) site remote had 2 vNIC used for the management and I figured it was my problem with replication (see kb2040302). So I have changed since my host configuration from the remote site to have that single vnic management (does not solve the problem). I then registered, removed and reinstalled the VR device without change to the problem.

    What is going on:

    1. I am able to configure replication between sites without a problem.

    2. first replication occurs between sites and reports a success.

    3. the remote VM replication to the main site continue to work properly and all is well for the days and continue to work.

    4. the main site of VM replication to the remote site fails on the second and all attempts to reproduce the error. There is a problem of storage with datastore path '[datastorename] '.

    I followed the advice of kb2040302 better as I can. But I must confess that I could use some of the more detailed instructions on how and what site should I check the logs. and how to check my configuration management vnic.

    I'm looking for someone provide additional troubleshooting steps with good detail.

    Thank you


    Resolution:

    The problem was caused by a security setting on the NFS Server data store. VRA could not delete the (hard).

    Specifically, my problem was with authorizations on the Synology NAS under the application of the "file Station.

  • Graphics problems in macOS Sierra on Macbook Pro

    I have a 13 "mid-2016 Macbook Pro (model MacbookPro 7.1 - 2.66 GHz/8 GB RAM) I've recently upgraded to Sierra. However, I noticed a slight increase in glitches since the upgrade - serious glitches. For example, the animation for arise Applications appears as two images, the majority of applications (including integrated) sparkle and on top of that, applications like Microsoft Remote Desktop and Parallels Pro 12 do not work right due to graphic problems (MS RD comes constantly creates an empty black window while in the analogies I was forced to power off the virtual machine dirty because all the options of the application itself that uses OS x) interface were flickering at which makes them unselectable).

    In fact, the graphics flickering and stuttering throughout what using Mac OS are quite widespread. Open a new window in Chrome, same thing. Same thing with Safari. Or iTunes.

    He got better with each subsequent reboot, but it is still pretty bad.

    Anyone else having this problem or have a resolution for this?

  • Storage space of MacBook Pro not released when using iCloud

    Have a Macbook Pro with 320 GB of storage. I buy space storage iCloud and transferred all my photos in the hope that would free up space. Yes, I had clicked the button "optimize Mac storage." But he only release a couple of gb. Other messages, I figured that if you try to import something of a decent size for the Macbook, then that "would require" more photos in the iCloud so I tried this with no luck - I just get the message that there is not enough space on my hard drive.

    So what does the button "optimize"? He did virtually nothing to free up space on my hard drive.

    Or can someone tell me how I can get more of the original size photos in the cloud.

    Mike

    The library of iCloud being synchronous (on your Mac) it occupies space in both places, less if you have chosen to 'optimize storage '.

  • Problem installation el captain on Macbook air mid-2011

    Hello

    I have a Macbook air mid-2011 running 10.10.5 2 GB memory and 64 GB of storage that seems filled with "other" most

    I tried to upgrade to el Captain but did not to enough disk space to install it then stopped the download.

    I have since created more space on the computer, but now to the upgrade of the software, he said 10.10 is already downloaded.

    However, I can find a way to find the download file to complete the installation.

    Please help if you can.

    Thank you

    You will find your original download in the purchase page of the App Store. Will need you about 20 GB to download and install El Capitan. You will also need about 4 GB of RAM, so I suggest the RAM upgrade if you can. You can visit OWC to know what options allowing the upgrade of RAM and disk space since you really don't have enough.

  • Connection problem with the second monitor, macbook pro 2014, OSX El Capitan

    There are a few threads describing problems with two monitors, but I have not found a match.

    I like for the operating system ask login password once the lid is closed, no matter how much time has passed (even for a moment). Also, I work with a dual monitor. However, when my macbook is plugged into the monitor and I close the lid, the macbook don't disconnect but spends just primary monitors. Understand that this could be a feature and not a bug, I tried to unplug the monitor before closing the lid. But the OS seems not to realize that the monitor has been disconnected, and when I close the lid he didn't ask me for my password once that I reopen it. Does it also if I wait a bit (i.e. one minute) after disconnecting the monitor, but not if I wait a while (or 15 minutes), well that I've not enough highlighted how long is necessary so that it starts locking on my closing the lid. He does it with different monitors, so I doubt that it depends on the particular monitor. In both cases, I used the HDMI port.

    This is quite annoying, because I need to be able to disconnect safely in a short period of time, and I was not able to find a workaround on mine. Everyone knows this? Thank you for any help or advice.

    I currently have 256GB on my mac, which is far from enough. as far as I know, the macbook pro get a SSD sata-m and I would buy more. I can buy it on the Apple site?

    Apple does not sell any upgrade to the MacBook Pro retina. If you want to upgrade the internal memory, the connector is not standard m-SATA so your options are limited. One of the few places improvements are available is MacSales.com, who is a seller very good reputation (I bought many improvements to them):

    On this page, you'll see also that they sell a pen, so that you can use the drive out you of your Mac as an external drive.

    Android apps would be installed on internal flash of my knowledge.
    You can use some applications like app2SD to move the only app to SD card.
    But not all the apps that support.

    In addition, the SD card must be formatted in exFAT to write to the SD card
