Why do all new Macbook Pro say I use almost 5 GB of photos and 2 GB of audio when I have none?

Just bought the laptop today and I already only 67 free concerts of 120, with the majority in Apps, photos and videos... which I have installed nothing. How can this be? And how can I solve this problem?

I tried re-indexing Spotlight coincidentally, I found on the forums - who did not.

I tried a terminal command that I found on the forums - that didn't work.

There is no way that I used half my 120 gig storage just by turning on the machine...

To determine what you have on your MBP, download OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) Internet and open them. They will show all your files and respective sizes. Transfer to an external HARD disk or remove files, that you no longer want on your MBP.

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

Ciao.

Addendum: The program that produces the screen in 'about this Mac' has a bug inside.  It's not not to be approved for accuracy.  Usually, but not always, a Spotlight re-indexing will correct, but not in your case.

  • New MacBook Pro says I 1.83 GB Audio

    Hello!

    I got my first MacBook 3 days. I'm still learning and I have absolutely nothing on it except for Spotify I downloaded. I don't have any music, photos, videos or files. When I went to 'the way my Mac' and under 'Storage', he said (I have attached a screenshot) that I have 1.83 GB Audio, almost 1 GB of photos and a few MB of video.

    So my question is, why he didn't say that when I have absolutely no content on my mac? I know it's only a few concerts when added together but I wonder where it comes from and WHY it is said that.

    Is there a way can I fix? Factory Reset my MBP?

    Kind regards

  • How to connect mid 2000 Apple Cinema Display to all new MacBook Pro

    Hi all

    I have an old monitor Apple Cinema Display (probably around 2005/2006) and would like to connect it to my new MacBook Pro. I bought the cable I thought I needed but it wasn't the right one, so to avoid that happening again, please could someone advise which is the right cable to use.

    Thank you!

    I have no idea of what you purchased was not compatible.

    You will need an adapter of your Thunderbolt port for the cinema display.  I guess (since you don't specify the entries on the screen) that your cinema display has a DVI input then get something like these:

  • First Pro CC does not open on the all-new MacBook Pro with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 M

    I used to run the first Pro CC on my old MacBook Pro (mid 2010) very well with no problems. A few weeks ago I bought a brand new MacBook Pro and when I try to open PP, I get an error startup that reads "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find capable video game modules. Please update your video display drivers and start over. »

    I'm running on an end 2013 15 "MBP retina with 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 M. I checked the compatiable for first Pro CC graphics cards, and the GT 750 M is listed as an acceptable. I did a lot of digging and can't find a solution anywhere. Can someone please?

    I solved this problem on my system by adding "read & write" permission for all of the Users/myusername/Library/preferences/Adobe folder and all its subfolders.

  • I am looking to buy a new MacBook Pro - can I use my current CS6 software?

    I installed on my current MacBook to CS6 - I am looking to buy a new MacBook and I was wondering if it is possible to use the same CS6 software for the new?

    As I don't use the current MacBook when I get a new one, should I uninstall CS6 on the current and just install it on the new? Which will work?

    I have the drive, the serial number and the product code.

    Sarahk6971268, we invite you to install the software on your new MacBook.  I recommend you to disable the software on the computer you're considering is no longer on the use.  You can find more details about the activation with the help of Activation & deactivationprocess.

    If you have used any other processor of professional quality (for example, Microsoft Word), and then just go ahead and use the current culture of free (financially) applications on devices you mention. It will not take too long before you understand point Apple of giving them. No application in the world can open documents Pages but the most recent version.

    Free will begin to erode when Pages for Mac forget how to open a perfectly fine document that you saved an hour or two ago. Or you realize you have to press the SHIFT key every time you want a first word in a sentence. Or you can not bind the text boxes to the text layout advanced stream. Or you can't do data merge / e-mail. Table of contents page links or comments will not export to PDF.

    Pages is not a clone of Word, and you'll quickly realize that Pages input/export deal with the translation. Open a blank document. Type the letter "A". Export to Word .docx. It will be 494KO in size. Do the same thing in LibreOffice or MS Word and it will be 8 KB.

  • New MacBook Pro Release - 2016

    I had a PC guy since I started to use computers and a few years ago I bought an iPad and iPhone. I always wanted to buy an Apple computer, but it was too expensive. Given the quality of Apple products, and how the OSX is good, I finally want to invest money to get the new macbook pro. I use Photoshop CC and time to other Illustrator and InDesign for the current model I've been watching is the:

    13 "MacBook Pro retina display with i7 processor 3.1 GHz and 16 GB of RAM.

    There are rumors that Apple will release the new MBP at the WWDC conference that leaves me with some questions.

    • If I wanted to get this laptop, it would be OK to use it as my computer only for we shall say 12 hours a day? I plan on a long term, so I would really upgrade for years 4 and 5.
    • If the new MBP range announced in the June 13-18, you think it's going to be available for sale end of June in the States (that's when I'll be there and it is definitely cheaper to buy there, only in Hungary). I hope just as they don't sell in September for example... I don't know how the previous models were announced and ready to buy for customers.
    • The new range will be about the same price as the current? With the above specifications, I wrote above, it comes out around $2000.

    Thank you! I can't wait to be part of the Apple family.

    1. Of course - Mac would be nice looking, but they were made to be used!
    2. We do not know when will be released new computers or when they become available. The only people who know what is not allowed to speak.
    3. We are not allowed to speculate on the future computers here. All that I can say is that in the past when Apple launches a new system based on current designs (a MBP 2015 is updated a MBP 2016 model) prices remain substantially the same, or drop. When Apple makes a major design change is unclear what will happen.

    Basically, the best that we can do is say welcome and buy the computer when you need it. Even if Apple launches a new model of 2 months after your purchase (as happened to my wife when she bought his MBP in 2015 early) you will have one of the best darn computers made.

  • Can I use a LED Cinema Display of pre-2009 with a new MacBook Pro retina?

    Hello

    I am currently using a pre-2009 LED Cinema Display with a MacBook Air from mid-2011.

    Now, I want to replace my old MacBook Air with a brand new MacBook Pro 13 "retina.

    This combination works always and, above all, the Cinema Display Monitor will be able to manage the resolution of the retina?

    I have never seen anything in the resolution of the retina on the screen of cinema in 7 years, so I wonder if he can really handle.

    Thanks for any help.

    The Cinema Display isn't a Retina display, so it will not show HiDPI resolutions. But it will work fine with your new machine.

  • New MacBook Pro does not print 2 sides on Photosmart 3210xi

    Signed ol ' HP for the new MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.6 USB cable, and he finds the HP.  Then toured to update software to currently do.  One of the printer boxes display correctly the HP to be equipped with the print side 2 on the back module and checked, but it is not printing 2 sides.  This system has no solid range of choice than Win7 - what is with that?  Someone at - it a method to obtain this HP Print on both sides of the paper?

    Thank you

    Bill

    Hello HP,.

    I found the real solution, thanks to a bad hard drive on a new MacBook Pro, who died just before the spirits high at their altar in the Apple store here.  He was just 12 days old.  They gave me another new MacBook Pro.  While the implementation here at home and to have met with the Photosmart 3210xi he seemed to do ok, but again, it wouldn't make impression on side 2. And not after the MacBook made the update either.  So I tried the manual visit to HP - no help.  Unplug the printer and uninstalled the printed stuff.  Stop. Started and went to HP and downloaded the driver 10.3 me connected and turned on the printer when the installer wanted.  Printer worked and printed 2 sides.  The MacDonalds its software update and thinking, I saw something strange about one of the dialog boxes, all when trying to print after the update: 10.2 Driver. What?!  And no 2-sided, once again.  Fact the entire removal and install Driver 10.3 on but without having the MacBook again the software update. Now it prints 2-sided.  

    I'll tell Apple about it.

    In the meantime, it will help if HP would update what list you provide to Apple for their updates, which would help. Thank you!

  • To CS5 updates fail to download on my new MacBook Pro

    I recently took delivery on a brand new MacBook Pro 15 "with Yosemite. I still own CS5 and I installed the basic software and did all the updates to the operating system, but for all CS5 updates will not be installed.

    I open Manager install Adobe, select available updates, I get the download to the end progress, but ultimately the downloads fail.

    Here is what I get in the Adobe Manager:

    Adobe Bridge CS5 update 4.0.5

    There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later.

    CS5 Adobe Extension Manager 5.0 updated

    There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later.

    Adobe Illustrator CS5 15.0.2 updated

    There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later.

    Adobe® InDesign® CS5 update 7.0.4

    There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later.

    Update of Photoshop to Photoshop CS5 12.0.4

    There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later.

    Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 update

    There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later.

    I keep trying to quit and try again later, still no good. I tried this five times. My internet is good, I just finished the OS updates and downloads, but CS5 updates are yet to be complete.

    Try to use direct updates instead of through the Manager.  Updates

  • How to re - install CS3 on the new MacBook Pro? [was: ADOBE REFUSES to HELP ME]

    I downloaded their software, and I received an error saying that I need to contact Adobe.  So I do, and they REFUSE to help because my software is not the latest version.  How to place a call to them?

    John, thank you very much for your answer.

    It's Adobe CS3 and I reinstall on a new Macbook Pro.  I had a backup with Time Machine and I have restored my files to the new laptop. Of course due to conflicts of serial number I had to reinstall my software. The Macbook Pro is more established in the Super Drive so I downloaded the software out of the Adobe site. I uninstalled and tried to reinstall, but received a message on there is a problem and to contact customer support.  I did, through their chat system and I was told that they couldn't help me because it was CS3.

    After uninstall and restart several times I finally solved what was the error.  I apologize for the lengthy response, but it wanted to be in a forum where someone like me goes looking for answers of self-handling.  Thank you once again!

  • I downloaded and installed Photoshop elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can I not see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) of the file > Import menu?

    I downloaded and installed Photoshop elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can I not see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) of the file > Import menu?

    There was no updated driver available (he says that my driver was aware), so I just deleted the scanner and the computer restarted.  When he came, the scanner has already been added again.  With great anticipation, I tried to import Photoshop... but no luck (scan was not visible).  I finally ended up calling Epson (had a lot of difficulty finding a support number) and they me finally there is no update driver for OS X 10.10 and I should like a work around using "Image Capture" application  I tried it and it works very well.

  • Why my iTunes library sound randomly cut during the use of my new macbook pro and the old Bose speakers?

    Why my iTunes library sound randomly cut during playback on my new Macbook Pro and the old Bose speakers?

    The speakers connect through a USB port, instead of by means of the mini plug stereo audio output (headphone)?

    If it uses the standard audio out Jack, try to plug ordinary headphones instead.  The problem goes away or still occur?
