Is there a way to maximize my 160gb storage without buying a 3rd party program like "CleanMyMac"?

I only have 29gb remaining of my 160 total and it just doesn't seem that I should be using that much.  over 60gb is identified as "Other" which I have no idea how to improve on that.   Any ideas?

I don't know why Mike got on his rant about MacKeeper. While it is true that you should avoid it that doesn't ap[pear to be what you are talking about here.
I would however echo Mike about CleanMyMac and/or CleanMyMac2. They are both to be avoid also. They are worthless and only known to cause problems on a Mac.
Instead try http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/freeingspace.html

  • Is there a way to have security with help without buying Roboserver?

    I'm on Robohelp 10, and I publish to Winhelp.  I have 11 different roles from which users can choose from a drop-down.  My managers would like to restrict access to certain of those roles to those people who are allowed to use certain functionality.  For example, my managers would like learning requestors to not be able to see the help and procedures for the system administrators.  We're willing to either set up usernames/passwords for all of our users (although that would be very cumbersome, involving hundreds of users) or tie access to the user's regular system log in that they use for everything else, which should automatically restrict their access in help (or so I would hope).  We do have Sharepoint, so if using Sharepoint security is an option, we would be willing to consider that.  Our preference is to use their existing access, as they already are broken into the same roles that the help I wrote for that system documents.
    Is there any way to accomplish access control to certain roles WITHOUT having to buy Roboserver?

    Hi there
    Unless you have a typo or you plan on switching output formats, RoboHelp Server is a moot point here.
    You stated you are producing WinHelp. That's a really old format and Microsoft would like to see it die a quiet death. But some folks still produce it. RoboHelp Server is designed to serve HTML files created by RoboHelp. So if you really are creating WinHelp and don't plan on switching things, then you can forget all about RoboHelp Server.
    Assuming you did want to switch to WebHelp, you may place that on any web server you like. And your server admins can restrict all they like with permissions based on login or whatever that the users have. So from that standpoint, RoboHelp Server wouldn't be needed. It just gets a bit easier for you as the help author with RoboHelp Server as you would then gain a window or panel in RoboHelp, or maybe another small application you would launch that would allow you to configure the permissions for groups of folks. But I'm a bit out of my element here as I'm not a RoboHelp Server user. I'm like a fresh college graduate. I know the theory but haven't really experienced the real life work yet.
    Hopefully Colum, or John Daigle will pop in to offer more.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I got my computer reset and lost my music without backing it up, is there any way I can get it back without buying/burning all of it?

    I recently had to get my PC reset, but didnt have my music backed up to anything.  Is there any way to get it back without buying/burning all of it again?

    You cannot go back to 7.0.4. But you can restore the backup.

  • The screen of my ipod touch cracked. Is there a way I can get it fixed without buying a whole new iPod?

    I have seen websites and tools where you can replace it. Does the apple company do this as well? Can I take it into a store to get it fixed? Where can I get this done the cheepest? I don't want to do it myself because I don't want to damage it at all.

    You can have out of warranty replacement in an Apple Store for a fee, contact them and make an appointment. They don't repair only replace. An official store is recommended since you will have warranty.

    You'll have to restore the iPod to factory settings.  Then sync all your content from your iTunes library back over to it.

    Recover software as you have described is pretty much your only option - keep in mind that if wait, some of the currently recoverable data may well be over-written and lost.

  • I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

    I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
    Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
    This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
    This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
    The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
    If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
    I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
    I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
    A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
    In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
    Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
    If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

  • Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

    does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

    Several ways to get similar results.  Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout.  This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact.  A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour.  You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color.  There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
    A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.
    Now if only this forum could filter out bizarre content.

  • Is there a way of printing off your Calender without having to buy it?

    Mac Newby here,
    I am trying to do the above in iPhoto6 and wondered if there was any way of printing my calender without buying?
    Any help much appreciated.
    T

    T:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Another way would be to follow the first part of Tutorial #8 regarding getting a separate jpg file for each page of the calendar into iPhoto. Then you can print each on separately, flipping over the stock so you can get the double sided printing. It's just a different way of doing what Neil described. If you have a 3rd party editor like Photoshop Elements you can modify a page if you wanted to. Lots of way to skin a cat.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?

    Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?
    3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
    or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
    Thank you very much

    You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
    - start Acrobat 3D
    - drag & drop a CAD file
    - click on 3D Annot to activate
    - right-click on 3D
    - select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
    - 3D Toolkit launches
    - click in 'Scene Tree' panel
    - right-click on top assembly name
    - select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
    - select 'File->Save'
    - select 'File->Exit'

  • Is there any way to create a HTTP_AAE Receiver without a path in NW PO 7.31

    Hi ,
    Does anyone know how to create a HTTP_AAE Receiver without a path??
    We are in a phase of migrating Interfaces from PI 7.1 to PO 7.31(Java Only).
    For one of the Interface in PI 7.1 there is a RFC Destination for vendor communication through HTTPS connectivity  :
    TargetHost: IP Address
    Post: value
    Path Prefix: Blank
    During migration  requirment is to keep the Path field BLANK of the Communication Channel,however since  PO has mandatory path field   a "/" is been provided, because of which data post fails.
    PI:  https://IP:9443
    PO:  https://IP:9443/  (Since Path Prefix is mandatory)
    As per my understanding The data is supposted to be posted directly to the IP (https://IP:9443) however it is getting posted to (https://IP:9443/) where the service is not available. For Reference attached relevant screenshots.
    Is there any way to  create a HTTP_AAE Receiver without a path. Need ardent support and suggestions
    regarding this.
    Regards

    Hi,
    For Service auto- PO from PR, you need to activate Automatic Purchase order creation for Service requisitions in ML91 t.code.
    Note:
    For material :automatic PO creation from PR, follow the steps.
    1) Material Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box
    2) Vendor Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box.
    3) Maintain Source list for Vendor & Material.(ME01)
    4) Maintain Purchase Info Record.(ME11)
    5) Create a Purchase Requisition.(ME51)
    6) Use T.Code: ME59 & execute for PR for vendor, you will be able to create automatic PO.
    During creation of PR , select check box of Source Determination in the 1st screen of ME51
    Ensure that Purchase Info Record should be there.
    If you have more than one vendor then fixes only one vendor in source list.
    Regards,

  • My computer somehow restarted then deleted all my progress from Word documents. Is there any way to get these documents back without purchase of a data recovery software?

    Recently when I open my Mac the screen stays black until I press the start button a few times. Usually at this point it's in sleep mode. This time, however, the computer restarted completely, losing any word documents that I had left open prior. Is there any way I can recover these files without a purchase of a data recovery software? I've tried looking in the 'recent' tab, but it didn't save anything I have done in the last week, and finals are this coming week. Please help!

    If the system just Restarted on it's own, Shut down while you were working on something then started back up all those changes, edits, you had done in that app, document, are gone.

  • Is there a way to open a playlist in a second window in iTunes 11 - like all previous versions of iTunes could?

    Is there a way to open a playlist in a second window in iTunes 11 - like all previous versions of iTunes could?
    To build a playlist, I would open a newly created one in a separate window, then in the main widow I would roam through the full music collection adding songs to the playlist - by simple drag and drop - as I find them. But this doesn't work when I have to jump between full list view and playlist view in the same window - that kind of confuses the process. I need to be able to see the playlist I am building while I roam through the main list, using two windows to see both lists of songs at the same time. Is this no longer possible in iTunes 11?
    Using iMac 10.7.5

    Apple never officially comments on these posts, true, and I have no idea if they pay much attention to this very helpful user to user forum set-up here, but they do let you provide feedback at-( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ )-for any product concerns you may have, though they don't respond there either, which I think is understandable. I think they do consider feedback while developing updates and I expect they try to incorporate feedback concerns as they create updates and revisions. But it is probably exceedingly difficult to include all feedback concerns or please everyone all the time.
    A long time ago I was complaining to them about how the full music library view would jump to show next song playing every time a new song started and that would take my view away from wherever I had scrolled to while the last song was playing. That was annoying and they eventually fixed that issue in iTunes 11.
    I have sent apple my feedback concerns (more than once) about how it really helps to open separate windows to do playist creations and edit, revise, and manage playlists - and how that split window method is not easy to use (linked to in a previous post I made on this thread). The more people they get feedback from asking to be able to open multiple iTunes windows, then the more likely they will bring that feature back. So don't forget to provide feedback (go to feedback link provided herein).
    Hopefully it won't take them years to return the multiple window capability in a future update.

  • Is there a way to do a firmware update without being plugged into a power source?

    I have a Macbook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and the indicator light on the Magsafe power cord is not lighting up. I know the cord works because I have tried it on a different computer but it is only this macbook that it doesn't work on. I have reset the SMC. I do need to do a firmware update but when I try to do the update it the firmware it will not let me update because the computer doesn't know that its connected to a power source. When I look at the battery life indicator on the right hand corner it says that its calculating but never changes.
    I was using the computer running on battery life and it turned off. I was able to turn the computer on. The computer powers on and off but i'm assuming its going to run the battery power. I don't have another battery to try on this computer. Are there any suggestions?
