• Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

  Hi, I'm opperating on Windows Vista Basic Home Edition on top of a HP540 Tower, which has 160 GB hard drive.

  Except for the 20 GB Partition, I stayed with 129 GB to install a fresh on o/s.

  After installing my o/s and updates the 7Gig to clean Documents saved from after installation.

  I was left with 99 Go!

  Something wrong without a doubt!

  Even more, I'm losing memory on my hard drive like there is no tomorrow, 30 GB in 4 days!

  It seems every time I'm streaming videos, or even just to watch videos, an external hard drive.

  I lose about 1 or 2 GB!

  Using a number of antivirus programs, I scanned for a virus, but all programs concluded that the

  the system is clean and that there is no virus!

  This led me to believe that the system backup and restore several coppies of his car, then

  I have used the disk clean up to remove all but the most recent backup file.

  All of a sudden my disk space is increased from 69BG to 99 GB.

  I still don't know what happened to the other Go 20 or 21.

  Although this seems to be a difficulty, with in a few minutes that the backup has been busy writing far still and in

  15 minutes that I had fallen to 97.3 GB and deminuishing.

  Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

  Thank you very much!

  Nothing wrong as far as I can see.  A Windows installation will take about 20 GB to 30 GB so it's fine, and you will lose even more space for virtual memory to system management file, hibernation, system restore points file and so on.  Although the "30 GB in four days" is perhaps a little on the high side, considering that you have just installed Windows, there are a lot of household, creating files and so forth go on these days.

  With the help of disk cleanup to delete these files from system restore is a bad choice, because they are created to ensure the security of your system and allow you to recover from any problems that may require them.

  If disk space is as big a problem to get a bigger hard drive and let the system restore to do its job.

• That's why my macbook pro battery drains much more quickly than in the past?

  The life of the battery of my (end 2013) 13 "MacBook Pro (OS 10.10.5) decreased a lot, very quickly, in the past months. There are 390/100 amount remaining fresh and the State of the battery is 'normal '. I do not leave the appliance plugged, "over" charge for long periods of time. I drained the battery fully before recharging for a full charge. Although wifi is usually left on; Bluetooth is usually disabled. I am running the same programs I ran for years.

  Meanwhile, the battery for this machine seems to have declined precipitously.

  I hope that others can offer advice on how to evaluate what is happening and what (if any) can do to improve the life of the battery.

  I drained the battery fully before recharging for a full charge

  This isn't a recommended service action. It can damage the battery if done repeatedly. I charge when mine gets below 20%.

  You can't damage the battery by leaving the charger plugged in for long periods. There is overload protection very intelligent integrated in the battery and power on the computer systems.

  A reduction of RUNTIME† is often a software problem. This Apple article is excellent to determine if this is the case and how to address the issue:

  Apps can affect the performance of Mac, battery, temperature and fan activity - Apple Support

  † - the battery life is time, usually years, before the batery fails and must be replaced; battery life is how many hours the pathophysiological dough power the computer before requiring a recharge.

• Why impossible my macbook pro to read only 2 layers of AVCHD?

  Hello

  I have a brand new beginning 2011 17 "Macbook Pro with quad core i7 to 2.2 GHz, 8 GB ram, internal a two hard drive and 1 GB ATI graphics card (I used the OWC data Doubler to replace the optical drive with another SATA hd)."  The OS hd is 500 GB 7200 RPM and the other is 750 GB at 7200 RPM.  I have all my project files and media on the 750 and my cache of media on the 500. It seems to me that this should be a lot of power for read only 2 layers of AVCHD video smoothly, but maybe I'm wrong.  What is the bottleneck, & what can I improve? It's very frustrating. Another question, out of curiosity, is how the ATI card do in fact when using first pro? I know that it is not used as a CUDA card would be, so I'm just curious as to what he actually did.

  Thank you very much!

  Andrew

  Andrew,

  Here are the reasons why your MacBook Pro could not play back or even two layers of AVCHD video also gently as it should have been:

  (1) first Pro's highly multithreaded - but OSX itself is relatively poor compared to Windows 7 in multhreaded performance.

  (2) more mobile i7s are significantly slower than their desktop cousins because they are designed for low-power consumption, second creation. Mobile processors, in fact, is full of compromises, to start.

  And Yes, playback of AVCHD videos in itself is itself almost entirely in software only, even if you have an Nvidia card that fully supports the GPU acceleration in MPE. If you still need a very fast processor for even two layers of AVCHD playback (which are much more tax the CPU than most of the other HD formats - and there is absolutely no free lunch, in this case, because the HD codecs which require no such a robust CPU actually needs of larger and faster drives). Unfortunately, a 2.2GHz i7 is not yet powerful enough to decode the two layers of AVCHD simultaneously; in fact, you will need one that turns to well above 4 GHz can manage this task at all.

• Why stop my Macbook Pro >

  I have a Macbook Pro bought in October 2014 El Capitan 10.11.4 running and it began to stop randomly. I left it last night and this morning it stopped charging. It happened again a few minutes ago using just battery power. I get a message that there is a problem and the computer

• Why is my MacBook Pro cut wifi connection?

  In recent weeks, my wifi connection has often declined, and I have to restart my MacBook Pro to have the wifi connection.

  I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch (end of 2011) and am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 version

  I brought my computer to a Genius Bar, and someone had to watch. The guy helped me clean up my caches and adware which helped. It also helped me with existing Wifi preferences of trash again.

  My computer worked fine after my visit to the Genius Bar and now almost a day later my wifi connection dropped again and I had to reboot my computer.

  Any suggestions on what I should do?

  Maybe corrupt network preferences.

  Open the Finder. In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

  Type or copy paste the following text:

  / Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

  Click OK, and then move all files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the trash.

  Restart your Mac. See if that makes a difference.

  Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

• Why not my Macbook Pro to manage over 3 USB devices?

  To make music, I need 3 usb devices. However, my macbook has only 2 usb ports. I thought that using a hub usb can help, but every time I plug 3 devices (one on macbook and usb hub with two usb devices), one of the devices does not work.

  For example, I have an audio interface, a mouse and a keyboard. When all three are connected, the midi keyboard does not work (is not recognized). When I unplug the mouse, the keyboard is recognized.

  There is no work around for this? It would be a problem with my usb hub?

  The devices have their own supply or is the hub, a powered hub? If it's a powered hub connecting all three devices inside.

• Why is my MacBook Pro screen green pixels

  My pixels of the screen are green when I wake the computer if it has been asleep for a long period of time, like all night, or for several hours during the day.  If I keep it for a while, he begins to fade, and the screen appears quite normal, with sometimes flickering. It seems almost as if the screen, or the computer, it must warm that he go away.  I'm afraid that my computer is telling me something serious. Like, you need to replace this computer immediately!

• Why the update did slow my MacBook pro down so

  Why the update did slow my MacBook pro down so much? What could be in the last update of El Capitan to slow my Mid 2010 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro 2.66 down so much?   He has never run it slow before! Everything takes more time in all areas. Could I have made a mistake during the download and installation?  If so is it possible to force a re - install the latest update?

  I don't know if I can restore back after an update of this size. Everyone has similar problems or have thoughts on what could be wrong? I know it's far from being a State of the art Macbook Pro. But it was working fine before the update.

  Any thoughts would be really appreciated. I can't afford to buy anything newer right now.

  Thank you

• Macbook Pro hot

  Why my new Macbook Pro fan run fast and become hot, when I run 'paint' on an editing tool?  Three photos in and my computer is on fire!  If I'll add some clarity and sharpness to the eyes, it does not take long until the computer sounds like it's going to explode and very hot!  Help!

  The bottom line is, you can't do something fans, it of kind of normal and says LR or any application you're using needs cooling because he works hard.

• Why is el capitan slowing/freezing applications I try to use on my macbook pro 13 "2010 mid? 16 minutes to open safari and 2 tabs, another 1/2 hour to load. missed reading iTunes, imovie took 12 hours to import a clip, then en

  El capitan sank my already very usable macbook pro 13 "! EACH application is slowed until almost uselessness, takes almost five minutes to wake up to the top/connect to wifi after sleep, a lot of problems with playback of streaming audio and audio itunes, making my virtually inaccessible whole itunes library. Stuck in the date and time, just a general nightmare.

  A took 15 minutes to open safari and two tabs, more than an hour to open chrome, imovie has spent more than 12 hours to load a video from my phone, and then frozen.

  I do not usually post in forums or discussion because I don't usually have something to contribute, but I wish that I had listened to the warnings of this despicable OS. I feel forced into it. I feel so angry that I can't access simple features of my audio and video programs that I have used so much before this debacle.

  So far, it's worse than Windows Vista. Way worse.

  If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful, but I just try to find an older OSX will not treat my computer as if it was a cell grocery store to throw.

• Why my MacBook Pro do this?

  First of all, I want to say I'm a big fan of apple products and I like really really apple products. That's why I bought the latest mac book pro without thinking twice.

  Country: Sri Lanka

  Specifications: MacBook pro 15 inch Retina display (model end of 2015)

  Core i7

  500 GB of storage (SSD) Flash

  16 GB memory

  AMD Radeon r9 370 x dedicated graphics card

  The problems:

  After 4 months all of a sudden my MacBook pro has not been activated, so I took it to the apple authorized service center and they said have to check and they inform me. So after 2 days they called me and said to have to replace the motherboard, I was like what? This isn't something like a normal branded product, it is Apple. How * that could happen? Its only 4 months. So I said ok and after a week, they called and said that the macbook is ready. So, I'm here and he collected. After that when I was going to use Skype I noticed that the microphone does not work. Again, I took the macbook pro to the authorized service center and they said have to check and it will take 7 days for fixing. Since I was a student at the University that I said no I can't do that, I have to submit assignments. They said ok and then bring when you can. So after that, I was with my mac and then something that he did not turn something times. So I had to reset the SMC or LANDAU to turn on mac. After 3 months another time (what is now) all of a sudden the screen has not worked for sometimes, sometimes it works, sometimes not. So again once I took yesterday for Service and they said there is a problem with the backlight and need to check and it took 3 days to check. So in fact this is what? Why buy products from apple spend a lot of money? Because we believe on apple, personally I love Apple and really believe in their products, because I have an iPhone 6 too, it works really well. But what happens with my MacBook pro? What's in my MacBook pro? Is there something wrong in my MacBook? Why this is happening? He's only 7 months. My windows pc is now 2 years and it works very well without any service at ll. I'm really confused with this. How could this happen? And the other thing is, I asked them to swap from one to the other, but they said they can't do that. I don't know why? Because I really "need a new. I think that really there is something wrong with my Mac, or how this could happen? Please consider my problem and hope that you guys will solve my problems. I really don't want to lose my believe in apple.

  I don't know what you expect your fellow Mac users to do for you.

  An Apple product service is as good as the provider of repair services. Some are good, some are not. It seems that the FSAA than fix your Mac falls into this latter category.

  As a general rule, if an Apple store tries to fix a Mac warranty and the problems continue to occur with it, they will replace the Mac with a completely different. That seems to me appropriate in your case, but only the installation of service can answer this question. If their response is still unsatisfactory, your recourse is to contact Apple using the link contact us below.
