Software updates sometimes do not install. I have two software updates that I continually show up as available to install. When I click on the install button it changes to installed. Checked About this Mac shows that the updates have not installed.

About this mac shows more space used by apps

When i triple tap the "Applications" folder in the finder, it shows me that my apps are taking about 15 Go. However, the "apps" bar in "About this Mac" reveal that apps are taking me over 90 Go !!!
PS: I don't have any backups on my mac and i haven't set up time machine yet.

That Applications folder should be only what you added to it not what was in launchpad after initial start up of your Mac . 92GBS is a combination of original apps and what you added to your library Application Folder. This is how My Mac is working but it seems like a lot of space used for a 2013 MBP

How do you activate a 10.10.3 download. I have downloaded twice (2 gig each) and have restarted as instructed. I have also rebooted. "About this Mac' still reports 10.10.2 installed and I do not have the new photo app.

I have downloaded 1010.3 twice (2+gig each). The update window shows the 10.10.3 update has been installed, however, 'About this Mac' shows 10.10.2 installed and I don't have the new 'photo' app installed. Once more, the quality of Apple software approaches that of Microsoft - letting the user debug instead of delivering the quality that used to be Apple.
How do I activate the downloaded update.

There may well be a problem with the update package. I initially tried downloading the delta update (not the combo) from the Apple Support web site, and when I opened the package file, the installer ran but terminated almost immediately. I restarted and only got the normal reboot process, not the "Installing software" display. After restarting, I saw some evidence that the firmware updater was cleaning up some files, but nothing else appeared to have happened except that the 1.5Gb package file and a couple small subsidiary files had been left under /Library/Updates/_ManualUpdate.
I tried running the command line softwareupdate tool to see if it would recognize the already-downloaded package file (which is something you might also want to try before downloading again just in case it works), but no such luck. I then relented and used App Store, and that downloaded again and then performed the update successfully.
Of course, then I had to horse around with turning off all the "photos in the cloud" nonsense, but that's another story.

When I go to About This Mac and click on Storage it shows 421.93GB as Other. This only leaves 46.85GB of 499.25GB free. How do I find out what this "Other" is so I can remove the stuff I don't need?

What kind of use do you make of your MBP? A lot of photo or video? If so, you may be storing a lot of large files. Look at Finder and see what the file system looks like. Do you have large libraries of data files associated with applications?
You may want to think about an external hard drive to use for backups and data storage, you can point applications to the external drive as the default storage location.
A good source of external drives at a reasonable price is the Mac specialist, OWC, http://www.macsales.com
I bought their Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB dirve last September and set it up to use part for Time Machine backup and part for other work space. Setup with Disk utility into two partitions is very quick and easy. Just remember to format as Extended Journaled with GUID partition table. Setting the partition sizes is by using a braphical image on screen in DU so it is like falling off a log, so easy.

Macbook pro 15 discrete graphics not showing in the about this mac tab

I am new to osx. I was wondering why I couldnt find the discrete graphics info in the about this mac window. It simply says intel hd 4000. I was wondering whether or not I need some drivers for it.

I assume you mean under the "Display" tab when you click "About this Mac" > More Info...
This only shows the active graphics card. To see the full specs, open "System Information," either under "Overview" Tab > System Report, or from the Apple Icon in the menu bar by holding down the option key and clicking "System Information." Under hardware > Graphics/Displays

Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?

Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?
My new Macbook Pro 13 retina has 1TB flash drive. But despite my TimeMachine being in a TimeCapsule my Macintosh HD shows 277 Gb of space has Backups. What is this for? How can I delete it?

OS X Lion and newer Mac OS X versions create local snapshots in portable Macs if Time Machine is enabled. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
You don't have to worry about. They are stored in a kind of volume named "MobileBackups", but they appear as stored in your hard drive. To delete them, open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn off Time Machine. Then, turn it on. However, you don't need to delete them, as they will be deleted when your hard drive gets full

About This Mac Storage shows wrong size

Hello, the story so far
Actions:
- MBA early 2014 (128GB) maverick updated to yosemite in November 2014
- fresh install of Yosemite via wifi in January 2015 - followed instructions as suggested here http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14243
Consequences after fresh installation:
- About This Mac > Storage shows total hard disk size 120GB, About This Mac > Storage shows 110GB
- About This Mac > Storage shows approx 9GB of apps. The actual applications folder size is far, far, far less than 9GB as showed in Terminal.
- About This Mac > Storage shows approx 1GB of data for videos, audio and photos. There are no photos, video, documents stored on MBA.
For the records, no device data was sync after fresh installation and the trash is being emptied securely.
I am new to MAC so I would be grateful if you could help me understanding why About This Mac > Storage is showing more data stored than Terminal and Finder and what I should do to rectify the discrepancy.
Many thanks of your understanding and support.
Cheers, puzzled_me

Kappy, may thanks. No difference, Get Info for the folders returns same data size as About This Mac > Storage
On a different note I have noticed that there are two Library folders under harddrive. See screenshot attached.
System/Library (6.8GB) folder contains subfolders that are also contained under Library (2.7GB) folder.
Could that be the problem?? Is that normal to have two Library folders??
Thank you for your help.

How can I have ext hard disks show on "About this Mac/Storage" that are ousted and show on screen

I have Mac 10.9.5, Intel. I was working in iMovie, when message came up and said I do not have enough space on my hard disk.. I have several hundred GB available. All my ext. HD's appear on my screen. In "About this mac/storage" only my HD and two of the four external drives show up. The two ext. drives that show on "about This Mac" are full. I have done a disk utility check on every drive and they are fine. Also, the whole machine is very slow. I have rebooted also.

I have upgraded my MacBook Pro 15 late 2011 to 8Gb RAM, now when I go to about this mac in it more info it doesn't show AMD graphics card as it used to before, it just show Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB is that a problem that I need to worry about?

and in system report >> hardware >> Graphics/Display >> it shows both grafics card listed.

Some Mac's when the RAM is increased the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics will bump itself up to the higher video RAM it takes, this seems to be what occured.
It also means the dedicated graphics card will be used less, but only so slightly less.
You obviously still should have both, you can test this by turning off Graphics Switching in Energy Saver, that will use the decicated AMD card all the time.
You can also run Cinebench and compare the scores here

Serial Number in About This Mac and System Profiler says "System Serial#"

I recently had my hard drive and motherboard replaced under warranty.
I wanted to check the expiration of my warranty so I could buy AppleCare before my year is up. I went first to About This Mac, and then to System Profiler - both of them say my Serial Number is "System Serial#" - any ideas on how to get my real serial number displayed?

How strange! I'm not sure if this will show anything different, but you can also try to get the serial number via Terminal. Just open the Terminal application and copy in this command:
ioreg -l | grep IOPlatformSerialNumber

About this Mac won't show serial number. What then?

I have an iMac running Mavericks where "About this Mac" won't show the serial number. I checked the "System Report" and no serial number there either. What is causing this? Guess I have to look at the physical number.

Was your logic board or hard drive replaced? In my case, the tech forgot to re-associate the logic board with my serial number and I also had none showing. He had to come back with a special tool to be connected to a particular Apple site and input it manually (fortunately, I had made a record of it).
If there was a repair/replacement, call Apple and/or take it to your nearest Genius Bar so they can take care of it. FWIW, it should also be visible on the bottom of the iMac stand, so take a look (after you shut down the Mac and unplug it) and copy it for future reference.

Why does my mac retina only show shared graphics card in about this mac?

Im completely new to mac's bought this mbp retina 15 and in about this mac it only shows intel 4000 shared 512mb graphics and in system report it does show the GT 650 M but when I novabenched it it only showed the intel one again.
ANY THOUGHTS?
APOLOGIES IF THIS HAS BEEN ASKED A MILLION TIMES

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Your Mac switches between graphic cards when needed, so About this Mac and third-party applications detect the graphic card that is being used at the moment, in your case, the integrated graphic card.
If you want to use your dedicated graphic card, open System Preferences > Energy Saver, and disable the option to switch graphic cards. Also, you can use gfxCardStatus > http://gfx.io
