Why do I only 43 GB of storage on my Macbook Air?

I have therefore an early 2015 Macbook 13 ", and for some reason, Miss me a lot of storage. I got 128 GB of storage (like I did) before I downloaded El Capitan, but after that I was the only one left with 43 GB! This is what makes it impossible to download things I want. I have been searching night and day, but nobody else seems to have this problem. Any help?

Download an external drive, so you can store things on it, that you don't want on the boot volume.

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.

  • 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.

  • AirDrop only works one way between iMac and MacBook Air

    Hello

    Surely I can't be the only one with this problem. I searched online help and followed all of the suggestions, but nothing works. I can AirDrop OF my MacBook Air (OS X Yosemite, mi 2013 construction) to the iMac (OS X El Capitan, end 2013) almost 100% of the time, but NOT vice versa. The iMac won't discover the MB Air. I even tried "find an old MAc" - no go. Drop settings are as well 'discovered by everybody' and the privacy settings firewall does not block incoming signals.

  • Why I can't have a decent resolution of my Macbook Air with an external monitor?

    MacBook Air 13 "(early 2014)

    I bought a Samsung S32E590C 32 '' nice monitor but cannot get above 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz (1080 p) using Thunderbolt to HDMI. The resolution is so low that I can't use the screen correctly. I'm afraid I won't be able to get a better resolution with my Macbook Air and will have to sell the monitor...

    Suggestions please.

    Hi sansthwaites,

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with your MacBook Air and your new view. I'm sure we can help you understand what can happen.

    Based on your model described, it seems that the beginning of 2014 MacBook Air should be able to produce a somewhat higher resolution for a monitor external, as shown here:

    Graphics and video Support

    • Intel HD 5000 graphics card
    • Dual display and copy video: simultaneous support for native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors

    MacBook Air (13 inches, beginning 2014) - technical specifications

    However, the max possible resolution may be limited by the type of connection, or the specific adapter you use. For example, this Mini-DisplayPort-HDMI adapter supports up to 4 K (~ 3840 x 2160) resolution:

    Belkin 4 K Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter - Apple

    .. supported .While this Mini-DisplayPort-HDMI adapter only supports 1920 x 1200:

    Amazon.com: AmazonBasics Mini (Thunderbolt) adapter DisplayPort to HDMI: computers & accessories

    Then how you connect to an external monitor can certainly affect the maximum resolution available. In this case especially, however, I suspect that the issue is actually the screen itself, as it appears from the Samsung S32E590C screen to list a 1920 x 1080 max resolution:

    Support - curved screens S32E590C | Monitors Samsung

    I hope that was helpful.

  • Why my filezilla only concert to a server?

    Why my FileZilla only concert to a server?

    Hi MELGENDY,
     
    -You receive an error message trying to connect to a Filezilla on the server?
     
    Disable the installed antivirus software, if any, and also disable the firewall and check if that helps connect to the server without any problem.
     

    If the problem is resolved, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the program for the settings that can be changed or if there are other updates for this program.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. Have a computer without any security software can cause a potential danger to your computer. Therefore, make sure to activate the firewall and security software once you are finished with the test.

    If that doesn't work, post your query in Filezilla Forum for assistance on this issue.

    Hi APS investment.

    I checked your account and I see that you have subscribed for the creative cloud for teams in which you have a license that you have assigned to the same Adobe ID, but the invitation is still not accepted.

    In order to activate the license, please accept the invitation of your receipt for the same email, then sign on the CC from Adobe and reconnect.

  • On my menu CC drop down why is that only Lightroom app that doesn't have a CC

    I historically used Lightroom as a single product purchased and recently I bought the creative cloud.

    As a new user, I am very familiar with things, but I've noticed on my cloud creative drop-down list containing a list of all my applications, I noticed that each of my apps conclude with CC in the end.

    with other words

    Photoshop CC

    Bridge CC

    Edge inspect CC

    Scout CC

    Lightroom NOTHING?

    On my drop CC why is that only Lightroom app that doesn't have a CC at the end of Lightroom.


    The system has recognized my old Lightroom and there no installed a CC version or is it the same for everybody out there and if so why?


    Why no CC on the drop-down list after the word Lightroom?

    Why no CC on the drop-down list after the word Lightroom?

    Nothing to worry about. It's the same for everybody and it's normal.

    Lightroom does not follow the version numbering (again) Cloud. She always had her own version numbering.

    When the cloud came out, there was no included Lightroom.

    Added Adobe Lightroom to the cloud later but never added CC to the numbering. So yet another layer of confusion has been added to the management software Cloud versions.

    There are now two separate versions of Lightroom:

    • 5.6 Lightroom (perpetual license, does not include Lightroom Mobile)
    • 5.6 Lightroom (a cloud which includes Lightroom Mobile)

  • Why my MacBook Air only recognizes all other pages when I try to print pages?

    I have a MacBook Air. Recently, when I typed a letter page 6 pages and tried to print from files, print, it only showed that I had 3 pages, while in the Pages document, I got 6 pages. The computer would print only 3 pages on 6. I did have this problem in the past, most recently. I don't know what I can do about it. He seems not to recognize that all of the other pages. It is not my printer. That's what the MacBook Air shows when I select Print. Only 3 of the 6 pages, even pages shows all 6 pages.

    Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

    Be more specific.

    It show 3 successive pages or only odd or even?

    If it is the latter which is a parameter in the dialog box print which may be saved as a preset.

  • Hard drive MacBook Air full when using only iclouddrive

    Can anyone help please.  I'm sure that its very simple.  I have a Macbook Air and create books for children.  I saved all the files on my iclouddrive account, thinking that I don't use space on my hard drive!  However, my hard drive is now complete.  I thought by storing all my files on the cloud, the hard drive of my computer would be pretty empty, after all this is why I bought a Macbook Air!  I asked for support to an apple store and they said that some Macbook Air have a bug that duplicates files and I need to check the files are uploaded on my drive to iCloud and then re - install the OS on my MBAir to get rid of the bug

    3 questions: it will work.  Y at - it a simpler way and he will wipe away the files on iCloud drive at the same time or they will be safe until I have access again to my newly cleaned MBAir?

    help most appreciated.

    Badger

    If you have the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud drive turned on, then all files that you have stored in iCloud drive to https://www.icloud.com/ will have a local copy on your Mac. It's not a bug, this is how it is designed to work. iCloud Drive is mainly designed for the synchronization of data between devices and is not intended as a storage cloud solution only.

  • Why my Macbook Air poster as a bridge to my Wifi network?

    We fight network gremlins in our small office.  We have an unnecessarily complicated network topology, but I don't think that the 'complexity' network is the fundamental issue (guess total).  Here's the situation.

    Periodically, we have network problems that range from individual devices or IP phones, problems at the Internet, across the Office of failures.  The Internet seems to be stable during the network problems and is also big enough to handle the traffic.  There seems to be no problem with the Internet itself - FYI...  We have a mix of Mac and PC, printers, file server and IP phones using the network.  The network is a mix of wifi devices connected and wired devices (PC/Mac wifi wired connected...printers/phones in General).

    The network itself is as follows:

    AirOS WAP which does not respect NOT IPs, just toward the life of a HP switch, which in turn is connected to a D-Link router that handles DHCP.  D - Link is then connected to our Internet modem.  The AirOS WAP is used because it is the signal strength and performance are supposed to be better than the performance of the D-Link wifi.  Note: The wifi radio is turned OFF on the D-Link.  All attached devices appear in the ARP table on the device from D-Link (as expected).

    But and I finally get to my question on the AirOS my MacBook Air (El Capitan) is displayed in the ARP table under a bridge.  It is the only device that appears in the ARP table besides than the D-Link (showing also as a bridge - what is planned).  In other words, my Mac "is differently from any other device in the office, we want to eliminate as a potential problem."

    Any who have thoughts on why my Mac is illustrated as a bridge.  I checked my network settings and nothing seems out of the ordinary on my laptop.  (only the bridge I find together are thunderbolt - that is NOT connected)

    I'm sure that someone has an idea or two on why my device showing as a gateway into our network, and if this could be a problem.

    Thank you.

    After the Ubiquiti AirOS AP firmware up-to-date have been upgraded - if it is not already there - you have Ubiquiti why their software of AirOS reports what is shown.   AirOS has many configuration options and can be configured to distribute the signals with multiple devices Wi - Fi - what you see here, what version of AirOS is involved, how the device is configured, it is something that people of Ubiquiti are likely better to troubleshoot.

    The only way that I expect to see a Mac acting as a bridge is via system preferences > sharing > Internet sharing or maybe lower configurations of command line for access to these parameters.   If Internet sharing is disabled, I would not expect OS X works as a bridge.

    I would be the network inventory and nettoieriez configuration.   (Set in bridge) modem, firewall, to move, to cables and AP (s) systems.   I would use connections wired to the APs when possible and WDS where not.

    If you have the OS X Server autour (this forum), then those who need static IP addresses and will probably also want to wired connections for performance reasons.

    If one of the servers in use is accessible from the outside, we can a required more complex network configuration if you want to isolate the damage caused by a failure of the server.

    Wi - Fi can have serious interference problems in some areas.  Interference can wreak havoc with the connections Wi - Fi and AP, that can walls and anything that can block signals.

    If it's really a D-Link router (like the series DSR, etc.) and not a D-Link gateway area, these routers are not very effective firewall.   He worked with one of these.   Really hard to guarantee.    Not what they are built, either.
