What is the file storage space in macbook air 2012?

what is the file storage space in macbook air 2012?

it all depends on what you'll be using it for - how much apps you plan on installing - how much music you have - how much videos you plan on saving in your macbook air.
i have a 2010 and 2012 Macbook Air - both came with 128GB - for my needs - it's fine.
As you can see from the image below - that is from my 2012 Macbook Air. Still have lots of space left.

Your only option is to sell the one that you have and buy a new one with 8 GB of RAM.

Partition drop not increasing free space in dba_free_spaces

I am Using Oracle 11.2.0.3.
I had a script that droped partitions for a table which should have dropped nearly 30 gb of data. We have data and index tablespace.
Query of dba_free_space showed no change on data tablespace. However, index tablespace showed increase in free space.
select sum(bytes / (1024 * 1024 * 1024)) "Size (GB)" from dba_free_space where tablespace_name ='&tbs_name'I am using following command to drop partition
ALTER TABLE table_name
DROP PARTITION "partition_name"
UPDATE GLOBAL INDEXES;What should be done to increase free space shown for tablespace after partition drop ?
Thanks for the time.

Incorrect - the DROP STORAGE option applies to TRUNCATE PARTITION not to DROP PARTITION as the doc explains. A simple test will confirm that.
alter table emp_part_test drop partition sys_p341 drop storage

How to free up space on Macbook air

How can I free up space on my Macbook Air? I can't seem to find any large files that I can delete

keep large media files OFF your Air unless you know you need them.
NO computer is a data storage device, especially for static files (large one most certain) just sitting there on the computer "collecting dust"
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.

Grab a nice external 1TB hard drive for $70, for time machine backups and keeping large media files OFF your SSD of your AIr.
However for vital data you "dont dare lose" never trust in ANY single backup source, this is a horrible mistake many people make, if and when your external HD fails, data is lost.

Can I increase flash storage on macbook air??

Is it possible to increase the flash storage on a Macbook Air? I have a 128GB and am running out of space.

You didn't specify the model of MBA you have, but if it is amongst the last two generations, you can check here.
Some contend it voids the warranty to upgrade your MBA in this manner. It is completely reversable if it becomes a potential issue, but make sure the expertise as shown in the install video is completely within your skill set.

SSD not displaying the accurate amount of disk space available (Macbook Air 2011)

Weird issue and dont know if this is a bad SSD or just a bug in Lion BUT I have an i7 18 ghz 2011 macbook air with 256GB SSD. Now the issue is if i click on "Macintosh HD" and press command +I i get a one number, later i go into disk utility and it says a whole different number (space available). I deal with large files for video and im always deleting some and adding others. I reformatted twice and had everything re-installed, but after a few days of usage the symptoms come back. Anyone experiencing this issues? can it be a hardware issue or a bug in Lion? I called support, but they told me is out of my 90 days and i live way too far from an apple store.
see the picture below.
Disk Utility says 69GB free, while the Finder says 199GB free? that is a HUGE difference.

If you have Time Mashine turned on, and no external drive attached, TM will keep "snapshot" backups on your local drive.
Actually, it will make "Local Snapshots" whenever Time Machine is ON, not just when the normal backup destination isn't available. See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details.

And now my problem is i am not able to recover my lost free space of 6GB.
Can anyone please help me how to do it?
Help will be appreciated.

What do you mean free space of 6 GB? Does more than 1 partition show when you run disk utility?

How do I erase the free space on macbook pro retina?

I went to erase the free space on my MacBook Pro Retina in the Disk Utility but it says not available for this type of drive. Is there a way I can get around this?

You can't use Disk Utility to securely erase a Solid State Disk drive, because of the fact that SSD's have limited write capability, unlike hard drives, thus have to protect the sectors from as little writes as possible.
In fact TRIM (wear leveling) is enabled to write new data to the least used sectors on a SSD each time.
The NSA guidelines for secure data destruction on SSD's is to grind them into a fine powder.
If you don't require this level of data destruction, you can do this trick below, but not often or you'll premaurely wear out your SSD.
Finder > Duplicate a small file repeatly in a folder until slightly more than 50% of the remaining free space on the SSD is used up, (use Activity Monitor) then delete this folder.
Then duplicate a different small file repeatly in another folder in the same manner.
What this will do is, because of the small file, OS X will fill the smallest unused spots on the SSD, the duplicates will fill the remaining free space half way, then the second folder will (because of TRIM) fill the other remaining 50% of the free space.
You can't fill your boot drive or the machine can refuse to function or boot, but because of the wear leveling this should overwrite all your available free space on the SSD once.
If you have a laptop and TimeMachine, there is a hidden database on the boot drive which will store a copy of the deleted data.
Then there is "versions" and it's possible a copy of the deleted data is stored in that cache file still on the SSD.
I can advise how to delete the TimeMachine backup file on the boot drive, but not the "versions" database or what it contains.
How do I securely delete data from the machine?
If your really paranoid it's likely best to reformat the entire MacintoshHD partition from recovery and then with a new user, then do the Finder > Duplicate procedure to overwrite the deleted data off the SSD, this way the "versions" and TimeMachine databases are also overwritten.
Nothing is safe anymore.

Increasing free space on drive C

My computer was really low on free space on drive C. It seemed as if Adobe programs were eating up space on drive C. I managed to increase the free disk space from 2.7 GB to 8 GB.
(Try at your own risk...)
Windows XP
1. Delete picture folders from C:\Documents and Settings\Main Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Cache
Bridge apperantly saves some files automatically. I had some old photos there that I'd already backed up.
2. Delete C:\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Cache
3. In premiere pro cs4: Edit>Preferences>Media change the location of Media Cache Files and Media Cache Database from drive c to any other drive.

You are playing with fire!
The proper way to control and purge these caches can be found as follows in Bridge:
Edit=>Preferences=>Cache
provides facilties to set the location of the Bridge cache, control its maximum size, to compact the cache, and to purge the Bridge cache.
Edit=>Camera Raw=>Camera Raw Cache
provides facilities to set the location of the Camera Raw cache, control its maximum size, and to purge the Camera Raw cache.
Don't go willy-nilly deleting files!

Increase free space in data files

Hello All,
We are running netweaver 04s on sql server. In our EPR landscape, we are having message no free space in file in db02 transaction. It reports error when we execute DB02 and does not allows or shows us the DBCC check options. Strangely, this message appears even if the auto grow option in data files is on.
Could you please let me know what would be the impact if I increase the datafiles initial size?
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hello Jeff,
Thanks for the response!
The odd thing out is that, we do have autogrowth on, and I am sure the data file size is getting increased on all the datafiles, otherwise the database would have struck up but the information that we get on DB02 transaction is wrong or the correct information is not bieng reflected.
Also, I am not able to run the DBCC checks via dbacockpit!
Please share your thoughts!
Thanks,
Gaurav
