    how can i clean up my mac for free

    You may find this post helpful 1doran: have problems cleaning up my mac
    Read the cautions regarding deleting language resources.
    A reliable program that claims the intelligence to automatically discriminate between required and superfluous files does not exist. Such one-size-fits-all "clean up" utilities frequently don't know the difference between required system components and trash, and can easily result in a broken Mac.
    If you are running low on disk space you can buy a bigger disk. They are not expensive. In the meantime you can read the techniques here to determine if there are any large files you can safely delete using the tools already built into every Mac, including recommendations for some free utilities you can use to easily identify large files.

  • How can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?

    how can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?

    You have four options that I know of.
    1) Use an external DVD drive that will work on the MBA. (Apple's external Superdrive for MBA)
    2) Use a remote disk connection, using another Mac with a DVD drive, and sharing the drive with the MBA.
    3) Download Office from Microsoft's website, and then use only the registration code that came with your DVD purchase to authorize the registration.
    4) Copy the contents of the Office DVD to a USB flash drive, using another computer. Then install from that flash drive.
    Maybe someone else has an idea, if none of the above will woek for you.

  • How can I import to my mac from my backup disk?

    My Windows computer bit the dust.  My itunes files were backed up on an external harddrive but I don't know how to import my files into my new mac computer.  Probably should find a teenager to help with this but I'm worried about losing my files, both purchased and imported from my CD collection. 

    Was the IWndows computer using iTunes? Was the whole library on the external or just a collection of audio tracks? What format for the music?
    Assuming it is just a bunch of mp3s not used in iTunes:  Plug external into Mac. Make sure your preferences in iTunes are set to copy music to media folder when adding tracks. Drag files to iTunes window.  Start with just one or two files first to make sure you get the right results. If happy, do the rest.

  • My Mac is running slowly and having some glitches in opening programs.  How can I clean upspace?

    My Mac is running slowly and having some gliches when opening programs.  How can I clean up the disk to make it more efficient?

    learn how to use Recovery Mode
    Don't do anything until you can restore and have repaired the disk drive.
    Post should get moved to either ML (10.8,.4) or iMac forum
    Swap out the hdd for an SSD : )
    Don't do anything to clean it up unless you don't know how to first remove browser history from within the programs; low on disk space (I consider more than even the 15% minimum, more like 3--40%)
    And do you have page outs? more than enough RAM? what actually leads you to ask? Programs aren't opening properly?
    Sometimes it is easier to take the long road: just reinstall and restore.

    How can i put my itunes library from an old mac g4 10.4.11 to an ipod2?

    Install iTunes 9.2.1 on your computer. If the device's requirements specify iTunes 10 or newer, you need to purchase Mac OS X 10.5 on DVD.

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

    I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
    If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested.  If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library.  Not the same as the other methods.
    The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.
