Having Memory problems on Macbook Pro Retina 13'

Hello!
So a month ago or so I bought a new Macbook Pro Retina 13'.
I'm into video-editing and have been editing a lot of videos this summer and noticed that it took up a LOT of space on my hard disk. So, I deleted all the films I have on this computer and emptied the trash file. I also used Disk Inventory X to make sure everything was deleted.
I'm going to be buying an extra hard disk where I'll put all my edited videos, but for now, I'm having slight problems. Even though I made sure every film/video was deleted on my Macbook, according to Utilities I still have 27GB of Films on my Macbook. (Link to print screen)
Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of that?
Thanks so much in advance,
Jay!

Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located. However, don't delete anything that is located outside of your Home folder as those are system files.

  • What is the problem on MacBook Pro retina 15"?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro retina 15". After unboxing, I turned it on and there was no any problem. But the second time I turned it on and charge battery, I got 2 problems, 1. The machine made noise loudly and 2. The charging is not working. What is the problem on MacBook Pro retina 15"? However, after about 1 hour, it works normally. Should I still use it or sell it before it has more issues?

  • 4GB memory on new MacBook Pro Retina 13 with 2.4GHz dual core i5 processor &128GB flash storage

    Hello,
       I'm completely new to the mac world but I'm fed up with pc's and all the insanity with processor problems, viruses, etc. I'm seriously looking at replacing my HP laptop with the new MacBook Pro Retina 13 with 2.4GHz dual core i5 processor, 4GB memory (RAM) & 128GB flash storage, OS X Mavericks (not sure which version). My concern is whether this will be reliably & consistantly fast & smooth both in desktop apps & internet use. I don't need it to do somersaults or anything too advanced. I would mostly be using Pages & spreadsheet apps & internet. It would double as my daughter's computer for cyber school so it's crucial that it runs quickly & efficiently. If she can't complete everything on time or log in to her online sessions because of a computer issue we'll be up a creek without a paddle since this particular cyber school's tech department is still working off of pc's running Windows XP. My father, thus far a pc user, thought I should consider moving up to 8GB memory but I was hoping that with flash storage being faster, I would be able to avoid the extra $100 for the upgrade to 8GB. My biggest fear is finding myself as frustrated & angry as I am now with all of my pc's, ready to take a sledge hammer to them because they take forever to boot, launch apps, internet or do just about anything (that is if they're even fuctioning at all- not joking). Does anyone have any advice or input?   Thanks!!
    P.s. On Apple's site I found a refurbished late 2013 model of the MacBook Pro Retina 13 with all of the same specs as listed above (4GB, not 8GB), running OS X (doesn't say which one) but for a bit less than a brand new one. Is this the same model as what they're currently selling new in their store or did they just upgrade everything to match what is being offered in the current "new" model? I realize this may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find anything online indicated that Apple has released a model newer than what was released late last year (October 2013, I believe), except that the model released then came with SSD storage instead of flash.

    No computer is fault free but Apple MBPs have a good track record.  In those cases where problems do arise, Apple has the best support in the industry.
    A MBP with 4 GB RAM with the SSD storage should be adequate for your needs.

    The latest MBP models came out in October 2013, so it will be the same, with the same warranty and telephone support.  The difference will be that the price will be less and it will be delivered in a plain white box.
    I have purchased three MBPs from the refurbished section.  I have never been able to detect any cosmetic differences and will go that route again.
    Ciao.

  • Anyone having issues with their MacBook Pro Retina losing network connections?

    I have been having a problem in which my internet connection, which will be working normally prior to closing the Mac, will not reconnect after it's woken up.  I have to go so far as to reset my Time Machine AND Macbook to restore the connection.  I noticed the most recent update for Mountain Lion also included some mention of a specific patch for Macbook Pro Retina's.  Does anyone know of a documented issue?

    Some recent updates from Apple might affect your problem, but I can't be sure.  How long have you been having the problem?
    I have to go so far as to reset my Time Machine AND Macbook to restore the connection.
    Don't confuse "Time Capsule", an Apple Wi-Fi base station, with "Time Machine", backup software included with OS X since version 10.5.  Your problem involves the former, not the latter.

  • Bootcamp 5.1.5621 Problems w/ Macbook Pro Retina 15

    Hi there,
    I downloaded the latest bootcamp (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1720) from Apple.com and proceeded to install windows 8.1 on my Macbook Pro Retina. I used the cd and the first time I tried to install it; i had difficulties getting the program to recognize the properly formated partition. So I restarted the process and everything went fine. Once I got into windows though - my wireless card wasn't working, my track pad won't "right click" and the headphone port is lit up red. I looked at the documentation for that version of bootcamp and it says it resolves those issues.
    ANy idea on what the problem might be? In looking at the device manager in windows, there are a handful of things that did not install with drivers and there is no mention of a wireless card either.

    I tried running the setup file on the thumb drive but i get the error that "this version of bootcamp is not intended for this computer model" Is that what you mean?

  • Problems between Macbook pro retina and CS6

    Hi,  the problems with the macbook pro retina and CS6 are solved? problems with the pixelated interface in PS, InDesign, Illustrator...
    Thanks

    Photoshop and Illustrator with their latest patches are compatible with retinal displays. InDesign CS6 is not and never will be compatible. You'll need CC for that.

  • HT5455 image persistence problem on Macbook Pro Retina 15"

    Is it a faulty or normal behaviour if we see an image persistence after 5 minutes ( less than 15 minutes "Default setting of Energy Saver while using Power Adapter" to sleep/ turn off the display of Macbook Pro Retina 15 inch)?
    Today, the Technical support checked my screen using the gray.html and it did not appear. And She said it is a normal behaviour to have an image persistence, because the retina bla bla bla (i don't remember exactly) and just dont leave the laptop too long.
    http://r238.local/display/gray.html
    Just now after playing a Chess (appx 30 minutes) , and run that test. The image persistence appeared and I guess I need to make appointment again..
    Any solution and suggestion?
    or We will stick with what the technical support said "Normal Behaviour" ?

  • Graphics problems with macbook pro retina mid 2012

    It seems like I've started having graphics issues after installing the latest firmware upgrade. At seemingly random times, I start getting graphics garbage showing on my screen. Here is a screenshot:

    I'm also getting some really bad sound quality on facebook notifications. I've been forced to disable them they sound horrible like they are clipping.
    Trying to figure out if this is a problem on all Late 2013 15" macbook pros or if mine is defective? This occurs even at around 20-30% volume levels with the Facebook notification sound problems...

  • How can increase the memory of my macbook pro retina??

    I have a macbook pro with retina display. It has 121 flash memory and i want to have more, is this possible??
    (sorry if the question is to stupid, but i dont understand to much about computers and memory)
    Thanks

    Actually, the storage (SSD, like a hard drive) is replaceable, though doing so voids your warranty. Check here, but make sure you find the exact model Mac you have.

  • Out of memory on my Macbook Pro Retina

    I've got a Macbook Pro with retina display andits got a 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory and 121 GB flash storage and its all full. I cant download anything else and some programs wont run anymore because of the full storage. Is there a way to upgrade so I can download more apps, save more documents, download more music, etc.?

    Storage space is not a RAM (memory) iussue ...   you need to free up storage space.
    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

  • Screen problem in macbook PRO retina 15"

    When I boot the computer in cold (after teen or more hours without use) the screen vibrates two or three minutes and then the screen stabilizes. This happens to me since a month ago. After the vibrations the computer works fine. If I connect one additional screen, this looks good from the start. How I can fix this problem? Thanks
    Fernando

    Might just be a GPU or OS X 'glitch' - it's a new one that I've not read of on this board. The best thing that you can probably do is to take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them take a look at it. Let it sit for the ten or so hours before you take it in so that you can duplicate the problem for them.
    No idea why you're having the problem - or why you don't have it when connected to an external monitor.

  • Problems with MacBook Pro Retina

    Hey, from september i'm having lots of problems with my mac. Firstly was burned out pixel on screen, second time the same proble, third time apple service changed logic board becuase of hardware issues, now my mac restarts everytime giving reports in wich is written about nvidia and kernels. Can't use any video editing program cause it's crashing every time i open it (Especialy final cut pro x). Reinstalled 5 times mountain lion (original, from app store), no changes. Contacted apple service in USA, Netherlands they don't anything, only giving option about changing logic board (which was changed). Cant do any work for my studies and it is strugling me. Maybe someone can suggest what to do?
    Thanks

    You are in a bind. We really cannot help you. Here are Apple Support numbers: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

  • Noisy iTunes and fan problem on MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013

    Hi guys, FYI bought today my new Retina 15-inch, Early 2013, 2,7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and have the issue of sudden changes of the speed of the fans without apparent cause.
    iTunes also is unusable, all songs are noisy (like a radio transmission). Played with VLC they are fine.
    Marco

    I had almost the same problem, so I tried to turn off "Automatic graphics switching" and everything is working well again. Intel integrated card is just enough if you want 8 hours of battery.

    No it's not infected.  Infected with what?  Make sure you enabled the no pop up window settings in your browsers.
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
    You are still under warranty.  Call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty. 
    #1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
    #2 - You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support.
    #3 - You have the standard one year Apple warranty.
    #4 - If you've purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan, your warranty last for 3 years.   You can obtain AppleCare anytime up to the first year of the purchase of your computer.
    Take FULL advantage of your warranty.  Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired.

  • Macbook pro retina ghost image problem

    I have heard about the burn-in problem on macbook pro retina display especially on LG screen. After I got my macbook retina for 3 months, the ghost image problem become really really unacceptable. After 4~5mins, the image on screen will burn in obviously for quite a long time. IT IS VERY OBVIOUS!! So I drop by apple store and find a genius, he did a persistence test on my macbook. The test is under a very low brightness, and I can not even know how he was operating. After 6 minutes, he said there is no burn-in problem. He explained that, if my macbook pass the test, it means my screen is within inspection. But I can tell if this screen is good, APPLE you should take a look at your inspection and change it RIGHT NOW. Everyone of my friend who have seen the problem on my screen says it is unacceptabe, how can it be within inspection? If anyone need a photo of that, i will provide.
