Available Storage - About Mac VS Devices Info

Available Storage reported from different locations don't match. For instance, in "About This Mac" under storage, It shows 19.04 GB available. If I go in finder to devices, macintosh HD, get info, I show 46gigs available. What's the difference? Thanks!

Question about ".Mac User Name" info in System Preferences/ Accounts

This is really bugging me. When I first purchased the mac mini I set the ".Mac User Name" info in System Preferences/ Accounts to the right name and wrong password. My .Mac Mail application works fine. but when I reenter the name and pass in ".Mac User Name" info in System Preferences/ Accounts and close/reopen I still see the old password reappearing. This does not affect anything, but it sure ticks me off a bit. Any idea why it is holding on to the old password? Is there any way I can resolve this so that it shows my current .Mac info correctly? Thanks for any help in advance.

This password is probably kept in Keychain. I changed my Mac User Name and password in Account preferences, and, after closing the Preferences, a new item appeared in Keychain/session with the new name and password

Yosemite - Difference in available storage info

Hi,
I have a mid-2011 MacBook Air, 1.7 GHz, 4GB, 250GB Storage running Yosemite 10.10
I'm trying to do some cleanup of my system and free up some storage space. When I look at "Get Info" it shows I have 100.86 GB available, when I look at "About This Mac" both "Storage" and "System Report/Storage" show I only have 36.68 GB available.
"About This Mac/Storage" also says I have 64.17 GB of "Backups" - but I back up to my Time Capsule and do not back up my iPhone to this laptop to save space.
Where are those backups stored?
When I look at
"About This Mac/Storage" also says I have 54.92 GB of "Other" - whatever that means.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

So let's assume the Finder window value is wrong. I would first restart the Finder. You can do this by logging out and logging back in (or simply restarting the Mac).

No available storage

I have a 16GB iPad Mini with OS 7.1.2
I recently filmed a lot of videos, until I couldn't film any more, due to having no more memory available.
i then copied the videos to another computer and deleted them all from my iPad, but I still keep getting the message "no available storage - go to settings etc." so, I go to settings, and, apart from telling me that the available storage is still zero, my only option seems to be to delete apps, which I did NOT need to do before I filmed the videos.
SO, I now have a virtually unusable iPad, when I should have got back several gigs of memory.
Please can someone tell me how to free up the memory? It's as if I need to empty Trash, but I gather that there isn't one.
Thanks,
Roger.

You should try:
Rebooting your iDevice
Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The iPad should begin to start up.
If this doesn't work then make a backup in iTunes then Restore it.

Removing apps available on iCloud with multiple devices

We have kids with iPad minis using our id. All the free apps apps that they download are available for any of our devices to be downloaded.
Are all these apps using iCloud storage space?
And once the kids have zero interest in these apps, how do we remove them "available to be downloaded" from the iCloud?

It is more of the marketing "itunes in the cloud" thing, then real icloud. What happens is as soon as any device is signed in to itunes store account (in settings), you don't even have to have icloud enabled, but you will see all of your apps and music purchased in itunes available to you for download.
First point to know about that it does not count against your 5 gigs of available storage. Second point, you can't remove them. There was a way to hide them, it still is on computer(in itunes), but with ios 6 it is gone from ipads, or iphones.
Personal advice to avoid the clutter- cut umbilical cord (I just did with my second) - create another itunes account for each one and let them mess with that. There are instructions how to create account without credit cards.
Creating an iTunes Store account without credit card - Support - A
Another point to remember, you are still responsible for your kids, until they are 18 according to itunes Terms Of Service and my humble opinion (lol).
sorry, was typing too long - you got two answers for one.

TS1702 When I try to reload The Sims FreePlay (sister deleted accidentally) from Apps Store I keep getting an error message "There is not enough avaiable storage to download "The Sims FreePlay". I check my settings and I do have enough available storage.

When i try to reload The Sims FreePlay (sister accidentally deleted) from App Store I keep getting error message. There is not enough available storage on my device but there actually is enought storage. Not sure why I cannot get App to reload. I have synced to my computer. Help!

To download/install an app directly to the iPod you need available storage equal to about three times the file download size. Syncing the app to the iPod requires a lot less. Thus you either have to free up more storage or sync the app from your computer.

How do I find how much me more I have available on my mac?

How do I find how much me more I have available on my mac?

if you mean "Memory", as in RAM, you can 1. look at "About this Mac" which is under the apple menu at the top left of your screen, and it will tell you how much total ram you have.
2. If you mean hard drive space, if you select your startup drive in the finder, and do "Get Info" (control-click), it will tell you how big the hard drive is, and how much free space is on it.
3. Or go to applications>utilities>activity monitor and check out the system memory and disc usage buttons on the bottom.

Treo 755p The free data storage space on the device is low. Some data could not be saved

After having the Treo 755p device for only a week, I am receiving a message "The free data storage space on the device is low. Some data could not be saved." I have over 55 mb of free space according to the device info page. I cannot find anything about this in the knowledge library, can anyone offer help?

Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

My problems are similar to Lauren, but backwards. For months now I have had problems with my Treo 755 reseting randomly. Sometimes during calls, sometimes while typing, sometimes while just sitting in the holster. As many as a dozen a day and then not at all for 2 weeks, no rhyme nor reason. This Free Space error though is brand new to me today and quite strange. The error is showing up when I bring my phone out of "sleep". I press the end button to sleep the phone and everything is fine. When I press it again to wake the phone up the error is sitting behind the keylock waiting for me.
Obviously I have done nothing yet for this new memory error, but I've tried everything for the reseting. Deleting software, Soft and hard resets, software updates, everything I and Sprint support can think of. With this new Free space error now I am going to just take it to a service center and demand a new phone. I think there is some kind of hardware error as I have done nothing in the programming. No new programs, no deleted programs, no changed settings.
I loved my Treo 650 and never had any problems with it. I am getting very disappointed in Palm now though with these ridiculous problems.

Making iphoto library available to other macs and pc's.

In an earlier question I asked if there was a way to make the iphoto library one one computer available to other macs and pc's, and be able to upload pics to the main library and have the other computers see the new pics automatically. I was told that this wasn't a good idea given my current configuration (network raid box). So I'd like to ask, If I wanted to do this kind of sharing, where each computer accesses a single "main" library and updates itself as new pics are imported into that library, how can I go about doing this? Do I need Aperture on each computer, with a mac pro holding the main library? Any suggestions, along with any clues on the different types of "managing" would really help. I'd just like to add pics to my main library and have my other family members see them and use them on their own macs, with the fewest amount of steps.
Thanks
Scott

If you want each user to be able to add to, delete, edit and generally use the library the same as everyone else the your best bet is to put the library on an external HD connected to a Mac and give the other Macs access to that external HD. However, only one user could access the library at a time. As for the PCs, get them a Mac.
See this Apple Document for more info: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

TS3992 I have been getting this message: "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available." However, the phone says that I still have 1.1 GB of available storage. Any suggestions?

Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: go to Settings - iCloud - Storage and backup - turn off the iCloud backup
and backup with iTunes from now on

IPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one but not all apps. I have more storage than the app takes. Can u help?

iPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one of the apps, but not other apps. I have more space available than needed for the app. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Do I need to completely reset this device as new and, if so, how should I do that?

You need to delete some item (apps, music, photos etc) from the iPod,.However, sometime files get corrupt. To determine that connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is used by the "other" category. If over 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted files.
To get the "other" down to normal value you need to restore your iPod usually restoring from backup works but sometimes restoring to factory settings.new iPod is required./

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work (on prior iPhones) before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)
I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past? Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

Very glad you added that bit of information because I see different problems similar to this. I want to share with them what you did and hopefully you not only fixed your specific problem but you can lend some more advice to others with problems like this. Thanks!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

About Mac Messanger 8.0?, I Did Not Know Where To Put This Thread?

I Know Everyone Here Hates Microsoft, But I Had a Question I Like to Ask Everyone About Mac Messanger 8.0, I Wanted To Know When Will It Be Available To Use Completely?
Right Now It's in Beta, & i'm Sure Maybe Some Apple Fan's Must Use Mac Messanger Sometimes? The Reason Why I'm Asking This is Cause The Mac Messanger 8.0 Has Got Webcam & Voice Sound, You can Talk to Someone in Webcam Using Your Voice & I Am Interested in That Cause I Used MSN Messanger when i had a PC Computer & I Used Webcam & Voice a Lot on MSN Messanger on The PC Computer. Maybe Someone Can Help Me Out About This?

Bridge CS6 Mac XMP File Info Panel Bug: can't copy and paste metadata

The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the xmp file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
This bug only appears in the xmp file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.
The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.

Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.
