How much does OSX take up on a brand new MBP HD?

Does anyone know on a Brand new MBP 128 SSD drive....how much is allocated to the OSX?
Thanks in advance

You do need to install Windows twice - once under Boot Camp and once under Parallels - but you can legally use the same CD with the same licence for both installations. There is no need to buy two copies.
There is a program called Monolingual that will assist in removing the additional language support. Be care, as it has removed the components needed to run Rosetta for some users who were not as careful as they should have been.
Parallels has to run from within OS X, but some people have had success running Windows off of an external drive. I have not tried it, but the instructions can be found HERE.

    Well, you have to download about 1GB of information to get iOS 6.1 on your computer.  I guess you are using a slow internet connection.

  • HT4759 How much does OSX lion 10.7.2 cost?

    How much does Lion OSX 10.7.2 cost?

    Depends on the path to it. You must first have Snow Leopard that costs $29.00. Then purchasing Lion will cost $30.00 for a total of $59.00. Or you can buy Apple's USB Lion Flash Drive Installer for $69.00. Or you can wait until Mountain Lion is released this month. It will be $20.00 so upgrading would run a total of $49.00.

  • How much free disc space should be on a new MBP?

    On my brand new MBP, my first mistake was I did not immediately time machine the new mac or record the "available" disc size in it when it first came out of the box.
    My next mistake was I ran migration assistant twice, and it failed with unspecified errors both times.
    Now when I go to Apple->AboutThisMac->Storage, it reports OTHER as 121.48 GB, and Audio/Apps/Movies/Photos/Backups together are several dozen GB in total. So OTHER is taking up most of the used disc space right now.
    Disc utility says the HD has used 151GB total, with 348.1 GB available.
    Capacity of the disc size is 499.1GB
    I have not yet put any data on this MBP, unless the migration utility did it without me knowing it and didn't delete it when it failed.
    What exactly is OTHER data?
    How can I find out if my failed migration attempts has put 100GB or thereabouts on this machine that I can safely delete?
    How much disc space is USED right out of the box on this MBP (2014 13" retina, 500gig drive)?
    Thanks!!!!

    Here is a definition of OTHER:  http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202867
    Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It will show all of you files and the respective sizes.  this should permit you to see exactly what you have on your MBP.
    I would estimate that the OSX and the initial applications should take about 20 GB space or less.
    Ciao.

  • How much does it takes normally to get a respond from Apple?

    I made an In-App Purchase 4 days ago and my Purchase did not delivered.
    So I in past few days I tried to reach Apple support team via link provided in my Receipt and itunes Support site 2 times with 48 hours delay each time,Both time I received an email with my case number( which then  I tried to use caselookup gave me nothing )....no mail no call no in web help from so called "Support team" whatsoever
    I prefer email/online support rather than calling them as I'm not in USA and not native either and I'm using US store for my account
    I desperately want to know how much more should I wait for someone to help me there ?

    Apple handles this with Replacement iPhone 4 for $149.

  • Apple repair: How much does it takes? (quanto tempo ci vuole??)

    hello, I bought a brand new iMac in August. after a week the bluetooth adapter was broken.
    I went to the genius bar in Milan (Fiordaliso-Rozzano) and the Genius confirmed the issue.
    They ordered the new card and they told me that within a week I would have gotten my imac back.
    20 days have passed and on apple website I still see "repair in progress".
    I've called 2 times but by the phone they haven't been able to give explanations, and they told me to wait...
    I can go pick up my Mac and take it to another repairer? 20 days is too much for a bluetooth adapter!!
    buongiorno, ho comprato ad agosto un imac nuovo. dopo una settimana si è rotta la scheda bluetooth. sono andato nel genius bar di milano (rozzano) e hanno confermato la scheda rotta.
    hanno ordinato la scheda nuova e mi hanno detto che entro una settimana avrei riavuto il mio imac.
    sono passati 20 giorni e risulta ancora Repair in progress.
    al telefono non mi hanno saputo dare spiegazioni, e mi hanno detto di pazientare.
    posso andare a ritirare il mio mac e portarlo da un altro riparatore autorizzato? 20 giorni sono troppi per una scheda bluetooth!!!!

    We are not Apple. We do not know the availability of repair parts. Unless some other repairer has one on hand, it will take just as long or longer to get your computer fixed.
    You could contact the location it is being repaired at and ask to have your unit back until the part comes in. I believe that would be a reasonable request.

  • How long does it take to set up a new ipad from a backup?

    Just bought an ipad mini and decided to mirror my full size ipad onto it so chose the set up option to restore from backup.
    It seems to have some what it needs to do but it gets stuck on step 6 of 6, resoring data.
    Its been doing this for hours now, Im sure it must have a problem.
    Thanks

    This is not a suggestion.  Do not follow it, but I tell you what happened to me a couple of years ago.
    Recovering data from Backup via cable an iTunes to feed a new iPhone with data saved from the old one I was in the same situation: no activity after a long time.
    I disconnected the iPhone, reset it and started again. It worked.
    You will find here a lot of more clever suggestion, I did it on the basis that a Backup could not be demaged by disconnection.

  • How much does boot camp take speed from a macbook bro 15

    Iam a architecture student and i need to buy a macbook for designing, And some of the program's doesnt work on OS-X such as Revit unfortunately , And i need to know if it does effect to much on the speed, please if anybody knows help me!!!. If its possible how much does it take, 50% 30% of the general speed.

    When using Boot Camp, only one OS is running at a time. That OS has sole access to the computer's hardware; it won't affect Mac OS X's performance when running it.

  • So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher ...

    I have a 160GB Gen 5 that I bought when first released back in the day when they were $400. Through a number of changes, the most recent being the advent of the Convert Higher Bitrate Songs to 128bit AAC feature, I decided to look at what more music I could store. After all was said and done, I ended up with a bit of a disaster with cover art not being properly applied to the music being played. I decided to *restore the ipod* based on suggestions in the discussion boards, and equally important was following the hints and tips here.
    http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp
    The advice is especially important in very large library situations to ensure you have uniqueness in the albums you want to display. Hadn't really given it much thought until I had the ability to see the individual albums for the 40K songs on the iPod via the cover art view.
    Finally the point of the post...
    *So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher Bitrate option now available in iTunes 9.1?* The specs on my computer are not highend by any stretch, but it's no slouch, and neither of the CPUs are ever pegged. At this point I've lost count of how much time it's taken, but the load is going on 3-4 days. With some breaks in between because I need to check each incremental load to verify there is no cover art corruption, correct bad tags and such, but for the most part the loading is visibly slow, and I'm sure the conversion is the cause. I'm not really complaining at this point, but there is clearly room for improvement. And of course unless there is a redo involved in which case I will get quite cranky.
    *I would like to hear the experiences of others.*
    Finally to lend a bit more credence to the performance concern, my 32GB iPhone 3GS for only about say 28GB of music takes about 24 hrs to load from a 2.2GHz dual core intel laptop, again using the convert higher bitrate option.

    With AC power adapter it takes 3-4 hours for a full charge. With the USB charger it takes 9-0 hours for a full charge. I am not happy with them removing the AC charger and other accessoreis at all. It's business but it still stinks.
    I know I would rethink my purchase but would most likely end up buying the Micro anyway

  • How do I find out how much space OSX and applications are taking up on my HDD?

    I am thinking of moving my OS and all applications to a SSD to free up space on my MBP.
    My question is how do I find out how much space OSX and installed applications are taking up on my HDD so I know how big the SSD needs to be?  Also, what is the best way to move these files across to the new SSD once installed?
    Many thanks,
    Andrew.

    If you do command-click or right click on your hard drive and select get info, it will tell you how full the HD is.
    there are some apps that can show you exactly how big particular apps are

    I replaced my internal drive with a SSD for performance reasons a few months ago. There are a number of ways to move your files over to the new SSD. I am a fan of the clean install, which might take a bit more time and effort but results in a very fast and trouble free mac. An easy way to do this if you are replacing your internal drive is to put the old drive in an external drive enclosure. Then you install the new SSD and install mavericks on it. In my case I used Diskmaker X to make a Mavericks installer (DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) . Then you can reinstall your apps from scratch, and finally move your documents over from the external drive.

  • It seems like I just missed the interval for the hard disk replacement program. I purchased in March 2009 a 24 inch Intel iMac . How much does it cost to have apple support at an Apple Store replace a hard drive?

    My hard drive continually has the floating beach ball and will take massive time to fulfill a request. And then will not boot up...so then I have to do a restore and rebuild hard drive from a past saved time machine version. Works for a little bit...then the floating beachball comes more and more...until it will not boot up again. So then I restore from a previous time machine saved version....and again it works for a day or so ... until it happens again. Now it's happening faster and faster...so I think my hard drive is dying.

  • How much time it take to rebuild an index for a table with 20 millions rows

    Hi all,
    i need to rebuild the index of a table containing 20 000 000 row (i don't know why the other people working on this didn't think of rebuilding the index regularly, because i asked and apparently it has never been done :cry: :cry:) i am not a sql developper nor a DBA so i can't mesure how long it take to rebuild the index, does any one have an idea (aproximativly of course :aie:), the other question is there any formula to use in order to calculate how often to rebuild the indexes (i can for example retieve how much rows are delated or inserted daily ...)
    Thanks again

    :aie: that's why i am asking because i don't know (and to be sure which solution is best)
    so the table is like this (the columns) :
    45 varchar2, 5 timestamp, 30 Number no LOB columns, (15 indexes : 5 unique indexes and that those indexes uses at a maximum 4 columns)15 indexes - 100,000 deletes: this could mean 1,500,000 block visits to maintain index leaf blocks as the table rows are deleted. If you're unlucky this could turn into 1,500,000 physical block read requests; if you're lucky, or the system is well engineered this could be virtually no physical I/O. The difference in time could be huge. At any rate it is likely to be 1,500,000 redo entries at 250 - 300 bytes per entry for a total of about 400MB of redo (so how large are your redo logs and how many log switches are you going to cause).
    yes the tables is used by an application so (update, insert ) can take place at any time
    for the deletion , there is the batch which does a mass delete on the table ( 4 or 5 time each day)
    You haven't answered the question - how long does it take to do a sample batch delete.
    If you can enable SQL tracing, or take a before/after snapshot of v$sesstat or v$session_event for the session as it does the delete then you can get some idea of where the time is going - for all you know it might be spending most of its time waiting for a lock to do away.
    >
    "How many leaf blocks are currently allocated to the index(es) ?" how can i answer to this question ? may be if i check the all_objects table ?
    If you keep your statistics up to date then dba_indexes is a good place, cross-checked with dba_segments, and you can use the dbms_space package for more detail. I have a code sample on my blog which allows you to compare the current size of your indexes with the size they would be if rebuilt at some specific percentage: http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/index-sizing/ (It's such good code that Oracle Corp. has copied it into MOS note 989186.1)

  • How long does it take to transfer data from a PC to a Mac?

    This may not be the best forum to get an answer.
    Depending on what is being/can be migrated it may be dependent on how much data is on the PC already.
