Macbook air 10GB of used storage how is this possible?

I Don't have any additional apps on the computer other than what it came with and it shows 9.89GB of storage used for Apps. Should be closer to 5 any suggestions?
Thanks.

thanks for answering, in finder applications shows as 4.96GB. Not sure why About This Mac shows 9.88GB? Trash is empty and restarted.

    it all depends on what's running in the macbook air that causes it to heat up.
    open activity monitor - change my processes to all processes - and on the %CPU, click it twice and see what running using 10% and above in the %CPU section.
    highlight anything that are using high CPU percentage and hit quit process.  see if that brings the temperature back down to normal.
    screenshot below is my activity monitor - have a look at it - nothing over 10% on the %CPU section.

  • I have a macbook air and need additional storage should i consider a time capsule or a simple external hard drive?

    I have a macbook air and need additional storage should i consider a time capsule or a simple external hard drive?

    If you move live files (files you don't want to lose) to an external drive, you need to back them up.  Any files not backed up are at risk of loss.  Hard drives and SSDs can fail at any time.  It is hard to backup a Time Capsule so a TC should be used only as a backup device.
    Do you have a Time Machine backup now?  If so, and if it is large enough, you can backup your internal and external disk to it using Time Machine.  If not, you all need to purchase an external drive or TC as your backup device.  (I recommend an external hard drive for backup instead of a TC.)  Ideally the backup drive should be twice the size of what you are backing up but 50% larger will work so if you have an external 1 TB disk and an internal 250 GB SSD then a 2 TB backup disk will work well.
    By default, Time Machine will not backup the external disk.  You need to remove it from the exclusions list:
    To have Time Machine backup your system disk and your external offload disk up onto your Time Machine disk:
     > System Preferences > Time Machine > Options… > Remove the offload HD name from the exclusions list.

  • I have a Canon MP640 and I am trying to connect my Macbook Air to the wi-fi how do I do this?

    I have a Canon MP640 and I am trying to connect my Macbook Air to the wi-fi how do I do this?  I have been able to connect through the USB no problems.

    What version of mac are you running? Have you downloaded any of the drivers/software off the website yet? If not, you will need to download and install the CUPS Printer Driver and the Canon IJ Network tool.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp640#DriversAndSoftware
    Then, you will want to open and use the Network Tool to set up the network connection

  • Will Macbook Air(2012) with 256G storage flash have storage problem

    Will Macbook Air (2012) with 256G storage flash have storage problem described in "MacBook Air Flash Storage Drive Replacement Program"?
    In the web page http://www.apple.com/support/macbookair-flashdrive/, it says that Apple has determined that certain 64GB and 128GB flash storage drives used in the previous generation of MacBook Air systems may fail.  I wonder whether Macbook Air with 256GB flash storage may come into the same problem?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    No. 256 GB flash storage does not have that problem. However, it's important that you make backups of your data to keep your files safe

    Hi perriejunn!
    They might actually be the same Apple ID. When you have an email and use it to log into iCloud it will create an iCloud alias for you. I have an @live.no appleID, which also has an @iCloud.com alias that are otherwise identical.
    If you log into applied.apple.com with the @gmail.com account you should see the @iCloud.com as an "alternate" email address.
    You might also have created a new iCloud account/Apple ID when you used iCloud the first time. Then this @iCloud.com will not be connected to you @gmail.com address or any other mail addresses. You can then log out of that Apple ID at Settings>iCloud and log in with this @gmail.com Apple ID and sync contacts.

    Hi Rachel,
    Have you tried reinstalling Microsoft Word? Have you tried reinstalling Office? Have you run any updates recently for Microsoft Office? There was one that came out this week. You may wish to ask this question over at the Microsoft Word forums, there's a good chance you'll get a better answer as well. This forum is primarily designed for the MacBook Air hardware and interoperability with OS X on a MacBook Air.

  • Can I add a second monitor to my MacBook Air notebook and use both monitors simultaneously?

    Can I add a second monitor to my MacBook Air notebook and use both monitors simultaneously?  For example, have a spreadsheet open on the notebook monitor while the second monitor is displaying an architectural drawing?

    MiniDisplay-to-? adapters ... ? replaced by VGA or DVI or HDMI
    Best to use only 1 adapter to match the intended cable since mutliple-adapter setup (buy a VGA, then add VGA-DVI adapter) tendsto lose signal strength.
    Also graphics chips run hotter driving external display, and since the graphics chip in Air is part of the CPU the CPU may throttle itself as the integrated graphics chip heats up.
    Two modes of operation:
    Mirror ... same image both displays
    Extended ... the other screen is "extra screen space"

  • Could I do monthy payments on a 13inch MacBook air? And if so how much would that be per month?

    Could I do monthy payments on a 13inch MacBook air? And if so how much would it cost per month?

    Apple offers the Juniper Visa card through Barclay's Bank. Their interest rates are "fair" but even with excellent credit I was pretty shocked when they offered me 19.99% APR. There's also Bill Me Later, but I think their rates are in the mid-to-high 20s (APR).
    As Michael suggested, your best bet would be a loan through your local/bank credit union. My bank offers unsecured personal loans up to $2500 (at 10.99%) on approved credit. That's pretty darn good, considering what it is.

  • Education bought macbook air for commercial use

    Hi,
    I'm part time student and full time software engineer developing proprietary software. Recently I've placed an order for macbook air through education store. I've came across this statement
    "By clicking on this check box, I represent that I have read and accepted the terms and conditions and that I am a member of one of the defined groups, eligible to purchase and that the products being purchased direct from Apple are for the personal, education, and/or research use."
    The macbook air will be used mainly for my work. Will I be violating any of the education store agreement?

    This is a very good question.  However, we are Apple users who generally answer technical questions.
    Here's what I suggest:  Contact Apple Store support and ask them.  If you're in the U.S., you can do this by telephoning 1-800-MY-APPLE.
    It's really nice to see you're trying to do the right thing
