in the storage there is " others" how can i find it and erase it

abufadwa,
something categorized as Other is not necessarily something that should be erased — for example, most components of OS X would be categorized as Other. If you would like to make more room on your internal disk, it would probably be better to choose from some of the other categories (viz Audio, Movies, Photos), and to move such files from your internal disk to an external disk.

    If you back up your mac before deleting your emails, Time Machine should back up your e-mails.
    I never tried this so i'm not sure to find them in Time Machine. To browse in your backups simply click the Time Machine icon in your dock. In the right bar, you can select an backup. Than you can browse in finder, in your backkup.
    EDIT: Just browsed and CT above was right. This topic might help you:

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

    When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

  • How can I find .plist and .kext files?

    How can I find .plist and .kext files which are corrupt and need to be deleted before restarting and reloading applications)? Where are they hidden? How do I make them visible?
    /hezet

    Thank you Eric and Lanny for your answers!
    I was confused as the files could neither be found by Spotlight nor by the search field in the upper right corner of the Finder windows (why??), but I have located them now. The files were:
    AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext  The name appeared in i a warning window now and then.
    The .plist files were reported red (failed) by EtreCheck:
    com.apple.CSConfigDotMacCert-***@me.com-SharedServices.Agent.plist
    com.adobe.SwitchBoard.
    com.apple.netauth.sysagent.plist
    I have deleted all four files and restarted the computer. Now there are no items in red in EtreCheck, but none of the deleted files has been replaced after restart.
    So far the computer seems to work well. What action do you consider appropriate now?

    I bought an iTune gift card for myself and sent it to my e-mail address.  I have waited over an hour and the e-mail showing the gift card has not arrived.  How do I find it and get the credit put into my iTunes account so that I can buy some music?

    Oh hold on - sudden development!
    I panicked and force-shut down my computer because it froze after I clicked on the 'Reset Cache' option, then I logged back on and noticed the Cloud symbol next to the missing song. I clicked it, and it's finally downloaded properly! <3
    Mate, thank you so much for helping me out! xxx

  • Purchased an album on the iTunes store (err=306) how can I fix this and download my album?

    I recently updated to 11.4 (not sure if relevant) and purchased an album on the iTunes store but the songs won't download and beside them in brackets says (err=306) how can I fix this and download my album?

    Although it's a slightly non-standard circumstance in which to be getting that error message number (usually people get it when they try to go to the Store), I think we should still try the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    (Some of the things that can cause the more familiar 306 might also cause download difficulties, so I'm thinking the normal 306 measures are still worth a crack here.)
