I want to check my storage but my "About This Mac" will not launch. Any other ways to view my storage? (Not iCloud)

Like I wrote above I just want to see how much storage I have left, any other methods on how to view it?

Launch the Console 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 and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to open About This Mac. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

    Hi all,
    I tried a different charger myself (the power source is reliable). But it does not work too. I think I need to bring it down to apple shop.
    But is quite disappointing with the new apple product I have. Cos not only my battery is not charging, my built in speaker, the sound is like broken too. So I can hear some noisy sound when I play music.
    I have a power book G4, and the power book, everything is still in good condition. Imagine how many yrs I have with the power book G4. This power book I never bring to do any services before. I sometimes really suspect is it Apple drop quality
    (cos the office new bought mac from my boss, the USB port is not working too..)
    But thanks all for the reply I think I need to bring it down to apple shop. Thanks!

  • ITunes states 95GB used but in about this mac storage says 124 for audio. Thats a big difference.

    I am running out on space on my MacBook Pro. When I check my iTunes library it states 90.18 GB used but when I go into "About this Mac" under storage I see the audio space used is 124 GB. That's quite a difference - 34 GB. Does anyone know why the difference is so high?

    Go step by step and test.
    Try step 5 first.

  • HT1296 I just bought a new MacBook Pro and moved data over from my old MacBook Pro.   Everything seemed fine at first but Outlook 2011 for Mac will not run.  It just flashes the Outlook logo briefly and then closes.  Help!

    Everything seemed to work fine after moving everything over from my old MacBook Pro at first but I cannot run Outlook 2011 for Mac.  The logo displays briefly and then the app closes.  It never really even gets anything loaded other than the little logo.

    Try removing and reinstalling Outlook
    Next try posting in a more appropriate forum. this is the iPod touch forum

  • Downloaded HP driver from their site for my laserjet, but it states this OS will not accept anything below 10.6 version

    I just downloaded the HP laserjet driver from their website and received an error stating my OS Yosemite system will not accept any driver version at or below 10.6.  Is their a driver within the Apple site that I can use or do I have to go back to my older OS version?
    Thanks.

    What is the version of the driver you downloaded?
    Which printer?
    Apple menu > App store and click Updates.

  • When I click "about this mac" to check on my storage, I get a number of different sections music, movies, etc. but also I get a section called backups, where can I find the files in this section?

    When I click "about this mac" to check on my storage, I get a number of different sections music, movies, etc. but also I get a section called backups, where can I find the files in this section?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    All the storage in "Backups" is taken up by local snapshots, which are made automatically in all MacBooks, MacBooks Pro and MacBooks Air with OS X Lion or newer and Time Machine turned on.
    See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html I recommend you to leave them there, because they will be removed automatically. However, if you want, you can disable or remove them manually if you want, even if there's no reason to do this. Have a look at the link above for more information

  • I want to upgrade my iCloud storage, but as I'm in Spain it won't accept an English card! Is there any other way to upgrade or change country??

    I want to upgrade my iCloud storage, but as  I'm in Spain it won't accept an English card! Is there any other way to upgrade or change country?? Please help!!!

    Andy,
    We are currently in the same situation as you.  Seems we have been "Spoofed",,,, e-mails "TO" us and also sent "From" us.... Both to and from using our old <xxxxxx.mac.com> address.  We are getting about 15 of the e-mails a day.  All from some version of "Med Store",, "Great Medical Store",, "Erect Meds Cheap",, and other variations of same.... Each one has a different "Link" in the text, but we never launch them.
    The amazing part is that for the past six weeks they all indicate that they originate from a different address.  Some foreign and some from US addresses.  So, we cannot write a "Rule" banning the originating address.
    We did write a "rule" that send them to "Junk" and forwards each one to <[email protected]>.
    Anyway,,,, we are ready to change our address, but are in the same "can't be done easily boat" as you.
    Seems we have to start all over and establish an entirely new Apple Account.  (Our old one will remain out in cyberspace forever)..... Seems strange.....
    Our reluctance remains with stuff like our Calendars, Notes, iTunes, Apple Store purchases, etc......
    We have posted questions here and on MacRumors, but seem to never get good answers.....  Most say just "live with it" and maybe it will stop.
    And like you we found out about using Alias' to late... shame on us....
    Very confusing and frustrating.....Still open for any input....
    Mike

    And what about this from the link above:
    If you take many photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice that your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud storage. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
    Next time please include the full text, not just part of it.
    Backups are stored in iCloud (if you choose to backup to iCloud instead of your Mac) Photos are not.
    If you don't want Backups stored in iCloud backup to your Mac instead.

  • Storage values under about this mac displaying incorrectly, but amount of space used IS correct. Any ideas?

    I noticed recently that the "storage" under "about this mac" is displaying incorrectly. It doesn't show the correct values for my photos, videos, and audio files. It classifies this data under "other". I have been searching all over the internet, I went to the Apple genius bar yesterday and they recommended I re-install OSX. I did and it still shows up incorrectly. They were baffled, said they never really came across this issue. I have tried re-indexing spotlight, that didn't seem to help.
    The amount of storage used IS correct. It just doesn't show up under the correct categories in storage, under about this mac. Also, the computer seems to work fine. No real issues. It's a mid 2012 MBP. 500gb hard drive. Most recent OSX is installed.
    I DO NOT think it is local snapshots, cause my backups category is small and the amount of space used and free is correct. I have downloaded omnidisk sweeper to confirm this.
    I have seen a few posts on here and around the web referring to this, but no real answers. I have also reviewed Pondini's info on this to no avail.
    Does anyone have any ideas?!?!

    Also,
    I had installed a version of parallels with windows 7, but deleted it. Would parallels be causing my computer to index incorrectly? I I used appcleaner to delete all the parallels files so I do not have it anymore.
