use of Dropbox on macbook air

I feel a little brain locked with dropbox on my mac air. I was running out of space and cannot say if the 150 GB on my dropbox folder actually takes this amount of room

on my HD, I tried the DB docs and cannot understand it.

of course, it does not take place timm on my iphone even if I can access all the files on my phone.

does anyone know how it works and how I would keep some data too much HD space if she does not take place?

THANKS FOR ANY HELP

If you put something in your Dropbox storage space, then you can remove it from the computer. If you do not remove it from the computer, then it occupies space on your SSD as well as in your Dropbox storage space.

  • Impossible to change the settings for virtual memory by using Fusion 5 on MacBook Air

    I use VMWare Fusion 5.0.3 and I'm trying to start a picture.  The image complains that I need to reduce the virtual memory settings.  I go to settings: processors and memory and reduce from 4 GB to 2.5 GB image. There is no button Save, so I click on the red X.  I tried this several times using several ways to access the settings and that you can save them using any combination.  I started a VMWare image which has 2 GB configured 'work' and was unable to change these settings as well.  My MacBook Air has 4 GB of physical RAM.

    Okay - problem solved, but do not really exactly know how; but Dariusd started me in the right direction. I was at VMWare 4.1.x last week and recently updated to v5.0.3. I don't remember having these problems before. When I launched my VMWare image running in v4.1.x around v5.0.3, initially asked me if I wanted to move the VM and I said no.  I restarted the VM today (after having deleted all files and not pumped up the images once again) and responded yes, this time to upgrade. However, just after I tried to upgrade the virtual machine I got the error message "not enough of memory" again. So I then when in the parameters, as Dariusd suggested and changed the number of processor to 1 and changed the value of memory: However, it did not work. BUT, I did it again, changed the number of processors to 4 and then lowered the memory to 1024 as VMWare has suggested. IT WORKED! So I don't know if it was the attempt to upgrade the size of memory VM (which I doubt) or change to 4 processors as well as the update of the memory. Be it, I'm in place and thank you!

  • Excessive use of data on the MacBook Air

    Just made the switch from PC to Mac.  MacBook Air (El Capitan) with tons of data at startup.  I disabled automatic downloads in the app store.  What can I do else?  Using 3-400 MB every morning.

    Any client on a network, including wireless clients, you don't know, could be the consumption of bandwidth. Networks Wi - Fi must be protected with WPA2 security. If yours is not, change the setting of security on the access point. If it is already defined in this way, change the password. Make a chain of at least 8 random characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers. The password is saved in the keychain and you don't have to remember it. in fact, you should not be able to remember.

    You make these changes in AirPort Utility, if the access point is an Apple device or in a web browser otherwise.

    If the network or the password was precarious, and bandwidth utilization returns to normal after it, you can be sure that the problem was caused by intruders.

    But the intrusion may not be the question. Most of BitTorrent, iCloud, Dropbox or another application of data on clouds intervenes when mysterious bandwidth by a Mac using. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box at least iCloud in its pane preferably by car and see if there is no change. If you use a backup software or the third-party network file-synchronization, disable that. If you use a torrent client, remove it.

    Otherwise, if you're running OS X 10.9 or later, you can see which processes are most active on the network.

    Please launch the activity monitor application in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Select all processes in the view menu, if not already selected, and also select the network tab.

    Click on the header of the column of bytes transmitted in the process table to sort the entries of the bandwidth. You may have to click twice to get the highest value at the top. What is and what is the process? Repeat with column bytes Rcvd.

  • What is the best piano keyboard to use with a macbook air?

    Hi all:

    I would like to know what piano keyboards do you recommend to use with Garageband AND recording via my Macbook Air. I would have preferred a keyboard with many features - modulation of pitch, a good Bank of sounds, at least 6 titles, etc. I know I should have a MIDI output to work. I think maybe a CASIO, YAMAHA or maybe a BERRINGER. Can help you guys?

    Thanks a bunch!

    Rachael

    I have no preference, but try to get a compatible keyboard class requires no drivers to install, or there's plenty wrong with each update of the system on your Mac.

  • Can I use your Apple TV with MacBook Air

    I use a MacBook Air, 13-inch, mid 2013, OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. I am interested in Apple TV. With this product I was able to connect my Epson EB - S18 projector to my Mac in order to project movies that I bought on iTunes on my wall of the apartment? Would be there is always a problem to play these movies 'protected' outside the computer itself? Must they be downloaded in SD and not HD? Can I use a patch to connect my Mac to the Thunderbolt port to the projector via the HDMI port? Can I use a patch to connect the VGA cable to the port on the computer to the projector? Please notify.

    Thank you very much.

    Can I use your Apple TV with MacBook Air

    Yes! AirPlay with an AppleTV is the easiest to use and less complicated solution.

    SD / HD makes no difference.

    You will only be able to enjoy the full quality of an HD movie with a better projector however. This model projector is not really intended for presentation of home theater. It will work well. As you can imagine that there is no upper limit on the amount, you can overlook these things, but $2000 is going to buy a nice home theater projector these days. A few years ago, you would need to spend $ 50,000 or more.

    Would be there is always a problem to play these movies 'protected' outside the computer itself?

    No, not if you bought (or leased) from iTunes. They have to play on any device compatible iTunes. You can even use AirPlay to distribute it to your AppleTV from an iPhone.

    Can I use a patch to connect my Mac to the Thunderbolt port to the projector via the HDMI port?

    Yes.

    Can I use a patch to connect the VGA cable to the port on the computer to the projector?

    Not without a converter. Avoid using the VGA if possible. It's a terribly outdated and generally horrible alternative to any digital standard. Since your MBA has a port Thunderbolt, and if your projector has a HDMI input, buy a cheap (± $10) Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter cable. But AirPlay is preferable to a wired connection.

  • How can I use a Windows CD on my MacBook Air?

    Hello:

    I have a MacBook Air; OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 version. I don't have a reader of CD/DVD, but really need to install a special CD of library that is based on Windows. Is it possible for me to run the Windows-based CD on my Mac, if I buy an external CD/DVD drive?

    Thanks a bunch!

    Rachael

    If it contains Windows-based programs, using CrossOver Mac, wine, VirtualBox, Boot Camp or similar software.

    If it contains only document files, it depends on what kind of documents they are.

  • Macbook Air using with mouse, keyboard, and external display?

    I want to put in place a more ergonomic work station. Can anyone recommend how I can configure my Macbook Air 13 "to use at home with an external monitor as well as an external keyboard and mouse? What is the easiest and most cost-effective way? Is a necessary dock if I buy a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, then simply plug the monitor each time? Could I use this set up with my macbook screen closed? I bring my Macbook to every day, so it must be easily plugged/unplugged. Thank you.

    A dock is not necessary. If you use a USB keyboard and mouse or a BT, it is up to you. I use a BT Magic Mouse and Apple keyboard in my office. That leaves just two things to plug: monitor and the power cord. When you use an external monitor as primary monitor you can close the lid of the computer and it will not go to sleep.
