My news macbook air is saying I need to make available space on my start up disk... how do I do that? What files should I delete?
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning your files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal. -

I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks
There has never been a reliable firewire ---> USB adapter suitable for external high speed storage. This was a major issue when the MacBooks lost the firewire port a number of years ago (Apple subsequently brought it back).
The only high speed port on the Air is the ThunderBolt port. There are external ThunderBolt drive options out there, but they're somewhat more expensive than traditional USB/FireWire options. -
So Apple have known about this since June and they still haven't done anything about it! Has anyone found a solution yet?
Skype will not recognise my video at all. There's no way I would have bought the computer if Apple had told me this was an issue. Any help would be much appreciated.See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

Can someone please help me? I just purchased a new Imac and I need to transfer my iphot pics from my macbook to the Imac
All the Photos in your macbook are in iphoto Library. Navigate to PICTURES FOLDER then, right click "iPhoto Lib" then select SHOW Package Contents. your photos are in the MASTERS Folder.
Or you can copy the entire iphoto Library in the Pictures folder and place it in your new imac pictures folder.
you can use an external hard drive, SD Card or burn to CD.
Another option is to connect macbook to iMac and boot macbook in target disk mode so that you can access your laptop as an external drive. -
I have a macbook air and it was logged on my dads apple id at first, then i got an apple id and i want to have my computer logged in on my computer. What am i supposed to do.
Change your old Apple ID using this link:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click the blue Manage your Apple ID button.
Its password is unrelated to the password you use for the email associated with it.
If you don't remember the Apple ID password, click the Reset your password link.
I already have a new apply id that is set on my phone and ipad. I just want to switch it to that one...
You cannot change your Apple ID to another one that is already in use - in this case, the one you created for your iPnone and iPad. Decide which Apple ID you want to keep. If you need to change it, change it - don't create a new one. -
I have a new computer and I want to transfer my Itunes library
I am currently running my Itunes library on a Windows XP computer. I just got a new PC Notebook that is running Windows Vista. How do I transfer my complete Itunes library on my old computer to my new computer?
Welcome to the discussions,
here's how to back up iTunes and restore it on your new computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382
To transfer your ipod data back up manually after authorizing the new iTunes and transfer your purchases as well.
Disable autosync in itunes, connect your iPod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer. Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Someone please help!!
I had an old crap laptop that wasn't apple and I used that for the past 2 years to sync my iPod but I have got rid of that and now I have an iMac. I have forgotton the 4 number digit passcode to my ipod and I have tried about 25 different combinations and I still cant get it right, so I just came to the conclusion that I have to reset the whole thing. I couldn't do it on my old laptop because it would keep running out of memory and I cant get it to connect to my new pc.
Can someone please guide me through on how to connect it up to something to reset it. ThanksRead the article you linked
