Please anyone to help?

Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It will show all of your files and the respective sizes.  Delete the ones you do not need or transfer them to another HDD.  To verify how much space is taken on your HDD, click on the HDD icon on your desktop COMMAND I (as in the letter i).  This will generate a display the shows the space used and space available.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />

  • HT4205 cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

    cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

    What are you trying to AirPlay to? The AirPlay icon only appears if you have an AirPlay receiver ready to accept the media from the iPod.
    Also, see the following. The 2G not hot have iOS 4.3 or higher.
    From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
    With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality.

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion's Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.

    Hi brett242424,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application.  However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:

  • Startup Disk menu can no longer detect the hard drive

    I am trying to boot my dvd from the startup disk menu (the screen when you press alt and brings up Mac or Windows) as Paragon CamptuneX has adjusted my directory files when I expanded the partition size and it is required to boot from the windows DVD to reorder the directory. But for some reason, the startup disk menu cannot find the dvd drive? I can hear it spinning and there is no problem detecting the DVD once I boot into Mac OSX.......
    Any ideas what I should do? I'm trying to avoid cleaning out Bootcamp, and reinstalling it all over again....

    Okay, second question: How does this forum software work? According to the thread list, someone named MacWizard has replied to this thread, but I can't see it.
    MacWizard, if you could email your reply to spearbrave at gmail point c0m so I can read it there, I'd appreciate it.

  • Startup disk full, can't get in to delete files, help!

    Help!
    I got  the 'startup disk almost full' message so I was deleting files to make space when my computer froze, so I turned it off, now it won't let me back in again.
    I get the start up chime, then it gets stuck on the apple logo with the progress bar, then a no entry symbol.
    I tried starting it in Safe Mode but still can't get in.
    This is very very bad, right?
    I Have been using time machine to back up but I'm not sure if my most recent photos of my boy starting school last week had been backed up yet or not... I've uploaded them to facebook and instagram and had emailed them to the grandparents so they won't be totally lost but still :/
    Can anyone help or am I totally screwed?!
    imac was was purchased in 2009 and I *think* the last update I did was to Yosemite..

    Start up holding down Command + R and then go to DiskUtility and try repairing your disk from there. As a last resort, you may need to erase or even replace your Hard Drive, but try that first. If it is not booting from there the chances are pretty good that your Drive has died.

  • No Windows Icon in Startup Disk Pane, Can't Restart

    The other day the Windows XP icon that I usually select in the Startup Disk Pane wasn't there. It's back now after a reboot, but the reboot was also a problem. I just got a grey screen at first, then I restarted again holding down the Option key. After a long time, the Mac OS and Windows volumes appeared, but when I clicked on either one, nothing happened. I restarted again the the Leopard installation DVD inserted. With the Option key held down again, I got the Mac OS, Windows, and Leopard DVD showing up. I now was able to select the Leopard volume and it booted fine. This whole scenario has happened a couple of time now. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Repair Mac OS partition from your OS X DVD (another hard drive with OS X would be even better - and a backup).
    Same for Windows, Boot from CD/DVD and do system repair; safe boot if you must; and tell it you want to run CHKDSK next time you startup.
    Also, system file checker for Windows:
    from cmd.exe sfc /scannow
    Disk drive or the volume directory for each, sounds like might be corrupt or that the drive itself could be failing and not spinning up and taking too long to mount. Could be a bad block or something else even.

  • I think i just deleted my iphoto with ALL my pictures and preview wont open either i cant find iphoto on my imac at all anymore Can anyone help me please?

    Hi, i was inputing old photos on my imac and one came up i wanted deleted but i couldnt find  a way to get rid of it so i went into finder and clicked on today and just selected all and deleted them. And to top it off i went to the trash been and emptied it. Now i have no photo including the thousands of pics that were saved in it and also when i click preview nothing happens as well. please anyone help me get my iphoto and pics back. thank you

    Your best option is to restore a backup library made before this happened. 
    Otherwise you you can try using a file recovery applicaiton like  SubrosaSoft FileSalvage.  It will run in demo mode and show you what images it can recover before you have to purchase it.  Other similar applicaiton can be found by going to MacUpdate.com and searching for "file recovery".
    I guess I don't have to issue the standard warning of do not make any change to an iPhoto library from the Finder, do I.
