Looking for safe way free up flash storage on MBP 15 inch retina display?

My MacBook Pro 15 inch with retina display is mid 2012.
2.6 GH Intel core i7.
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Running OS X 10.9.
500 GB Flash Storage
Use iCloud.
Problem:
9.3 GB free out of 499 GB.
Does anyone know of a safe, somewhat uncomplicated way to free some of this flash storage?
Thank you very much.

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

Can my Flash Storage on my Macbook Pro Retina Display (Late 2013) be upgraded?

I feel like my 256GB Flash Storage is not going to be enough for me, and I have bought it over a month ago. Anyone know my options on upgrading, other than using a portable storage drive.
Thanks.

There's no 3rd party for that yet. The company to watch would be Other World Computing. They do have SSD's for previous generations of Retina, but the new models have a different interface. One thing you can do is to add an SD card in the slot and format it as OS X Extended (Journaled) NOT case sensitive. It's nowhere near as fast as your SSD, but it's convenient and maybe good for less important data files.

Daniel.AFAIK, a string of text does not have an (x,y) location inside a PDF file. The location is exists on your screen, and will differ whenever you adjust the resolution of it. Text can have a location when it's stored as an image though, but than it's really the location of a certain number of pixels (not necessarily a string!).

Looking for automated way to test print PnP printer after install then delete

At times we test 20 to 30 printers in a day. I am looking for automated ways to increase the efficiency of this. I would like to simply have the printer install using PnP print a test page then delete itself after the test page or on removal. Are there any settings that can be changed on the computer to change the PnP process to make this possible. I am currently trying to learn and understand the Plug and play process so that I may find out how to get started. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I spent all day Googling and doing side by side comparisons of my old and new systems.
My display is a Dell U2410. It has several presets, including sRGB and Adobe RGB. I've been using sRGB.
On my OLD system, (Win XP, PsCS2, DwCS4) there seems to be no distinction between color managed and non color managed apps, even on this wide gamut display. I could capture (digital camera) in Adobe RGB, open and edit in PsCS2, save as .psd, convert to CMYK for print, or convert to sRGB for SFW. All images looked identical and they printed and displayed perfectly. I thought this was normal, and seemed logical. This also seems to be the source of my incorrect assumptions. I was trying to get my new machine to behave like my old one.
So I get this new machine (Windows 7, PsCS5, DwCS5) and now (still in sRGB display mode) all color managed apps appear de-saturated. Non color managed apps are OK. If I switch the display to Adobe RGB, color managed apps are OK, but non color managed apps are way too saturated. From my investigation, I believe this is normal behavior on a wide gamut display. I've tried changing the Control Panel > Display > Screen Resolution > Advanced settings > Color Management options, but to no avail. Either I'm missing something, or Windows 7 is doing color management differently.
It seems my only option now is to use Adobe RGB display setting for Ps, etc. and switch to sRGB for Dw and non color managed apps. Or, have 2 separate files for print and web. I've Googled 'til my eyes are numb and still not sure I'm getting this. Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.
Finally, I don't see an edit function here, so I can't remove my previous incorrect reply. Moderator, please feel free to do so.
Thanks

Looking for a non XML driven Flash banner rotator

I am looking for a non XML driven Flash banner rotator, something where I can load my images into the FLA and publish. The only rotators I can seem to find have external XML/image files, etc.
All I want to do is create simple SWF's that I can use to display rotating images preferably is a smooth and stylish manner. Does anyone know of any, or could point me in the right direction?
Many thanks for any help you may be able to offer and I am willing to follow any tutorials.

Hi
I wonder why not show you how to use Quicktime.
Because I would use the html5 audio, that way the browser chooses the 'player' to use, and I wanted to give the OP the choice -
<audio controls preload="auto" autobuffer>
<source src="elvis.mp3" />
<source src="elvis.ogg" />

</audio>

Looking for a way to hide the menu bar

hey all, i've been looking for a way to hide the menu bar completely and then mouse over it to bring it back, like how the dock is when it's hidden. i want the same thing for the menu bar to free up a little more space and make it a little cleaner looking. i'm currently using eclipse just to black it out completely but there's just a black bar across the top of my screen with it and i just want it gone. any suggestions?

As an aside; if you need to keep several apps fairly close to hand without cluttering the menu bar or dock, create a folder within your Applications folder, and place aliases of the apps in there, then drag the folder to the dock below the divider (next to the trash). Right click on the folder in the dock to get a pop-up list to choose from. I use the same idea for frequently used files and games too (seperate folders)

Looking for a way to increase the sildeshow size in iWeb

I'm looking for a way to increase the slide show size from the pictures page in iWeb. It looks like it iPhone sized. I have tried it on 4 different computer with the same result

There's really no easy way of doing so without post publication editing of some of the support files. There were other topics earlier on this subject but no one was able to do it .
You can use 3rd party java script slideshows instead of iWeb's. Examples of some are:
Jalbum - it has over 100 themes/skins to choose from and many will let you set the size of the slideshow image. An example can be see on this demo page: Jalbum Examples.
Other options are:
SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
The last two are from an iPhoto plugin.

Looking for a way to Export Still Image to iPhoto

Hi I'm looking for a way to export a still image from iMovie 08 to iPhoto 08? The simple drag, help, web search etc doesn't seem to come up with an answer but it's been a long day.
Thanks

Find the still within an event clip, right mouse, select add still frame to project. Repeat for all the stills you want.
In Finder under pictures, you should find files for all the stills you created. Import them into Iphoto and there you have it.
There is probably an easier way but this is not too bad.

Looking for a way to switch views using Javascript

Hi ! I'm currently studying Acrobat 3D. I've got a PDF document with a 3D Annotation, which was imported from a U3D file. I defined 3 views : "initial", "front" and "top". My problem is that I'm looking for a way to switch views using Javascript. In fact, when I list cameras using the following code, I only get one camera called "DefaultView". So my question is : where has my "initial", "front" and "top" views been ? Is there a way I can switch between them using Javascript ? for(i=1;i<scene.cameras.count;++i) { Cam = scene.cameras.getByIndex(i); console.println("camera " + i + " : " + Cam.name); } Thank you very much in advance. françois

I am looking for a way to convert Microsoft Office files to my apple and vise vera.
<Re-Titled By Host>

you are asking about Microsoft products and using a laptop, not a workstation Mac Pro.
The Numbers and Pages Apple Communities. or MS Community if you want those.
Importing and Exporting, but Numbers and Pages will not do a SAVE into other formats by default, and therefore have to keep using Export which is messy.
