Macbook air hard disc full

I am new to Mac's! Loving it. I am lost why the hard disc space is full, and its all yellow, not sure what that means? Help!
Thanks!

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See 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.
7. What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?- Apple Support Communities
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.

MacBook Air hard drive dying?

I'm wondering if someone can help me take a look at the console messages to see if my MacBook Air hard drive is possibly failing.
I had shut down my computer and the shut down process went just fine. A few minutes later when I turned on the computer again, the Apple logo showed up with the spinning disc/sun ray but it never got to the login window.
I hooked up the SuperDrive to repair disk permissions and repair disk. Indeed, it needed disk repairs and permissions to be repaired. It seems to be running fine now.
When I opened the Console, it says something about disk I/O error for some of the log entries.
See below:

My new Macbook Air hard drive gone bad

My new macbook air hard drive just died on me last saturday while I was working on my paper. With that I've lost all my files. I took it to Apple store, but I was told that all they can do is to replace the hard drive for me.
I'm not really happy with the service. You pay so much more to get your money's worth. I was suggested that if I wanted to retrieve my files I had to take it to an outside source for about $500-$700. It's like buying a defective device that causes you some nasty injury and when you ask for their part of responsibility they tell you to take a hike.
I wish there was a law that would be more protective of people's time and (intellectual) property as opposed to leaving us to the mercy of, ultimately, the greed that drives these companies.

Fellows,
Please don't read my e-mail with your emotions. I have nothing against Apple other than my disappointment in this particular service that I received. I can make a long list of all the good things that Apple has brought in this world.
My point is this: whether Apple or a PC, when you buy a brand new computer, the manufacturer should not only replace the failed part (in my case it did, as is the norm in the industry), but TRY to retrieve the lost file(s), when is applicable, free of charge, during the warrantee period.
Does it make sense? I find this a very reasonable request/demand. Remember that, according to Apple representative, an outside source was potentially able to retrieve my files.
As a customer, I want to have a better service, especially when I pay more for the promised quality.
If we customers were happy with what is offered/or not, then we would have still worked 70 hours per week, our cars didn't a seatbelt, and ...
I hope this helps to clear my argument.
Cheers,
I understand where you are coming from, however, there is nothing that they can do. If the drive has been damaged and does not work, then there isn't anything that they can do. When those other places charge the prices that they do, it's to pay for them having to physically remove the platters from the drive that you currently had, and keeping every tiny spec of dust off them as a spec of dust could render the platter useless if it gets caught between the heads and the platters. This being said, they would then have to take those platters and place them in a new drive basically. Most people understand that there is nothing that can be done when something like this happens, they have external drives and they backup all their data. I have mine backed up on two seperate drives and in a remote location away from everything here. Let's put it like this, say you bought a house, and then you put a lot of your memories and things and whatnot into your house, say pictures, papers, things like that. Now your house burns down, would you expect the people that built your house be responsible and demand that they somehow get your pictures and things like that back from your house that were burned up? It's kind of asking the same thing that you would get if you were to demand that they somehow magically make your drive start working and get the information off it.

The memory on my MacBook Air is almost full...

The memory on my MacBook Air is almost full. I see that much of that space is taken up with a category called "other"... What is it, do I need it, and if not, how can I get rid of it??

"Other" is composed of everything not neatly fitting into the balance of the listed categories. While it may certainly have files you don't want anymore, the majority is composed of files that are crucial, such as the operating system and libraries. Don't worry that it is the largest category, it usually is.
You can use a file visualizer app such as Daisy Disk or Grand Perspective to view all your files, identify those you don't want/need, and subsequently erase.

Macbook Air hard drive partition

I created a partition on my Macbook Air hard drive and used format as 'Free Space'. How do I retrieve this partition/space back? I have OS X version 10.8.2

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Open Disk Utility, select the hard drive in the sidebar and open Partitions tab. Then, you'll see a column with your Mac OS X partition and your free space. You just have to drag the OS X volume to the end of the column, so the free space will be added to your volume. Finally, press Apply

Upgrading Macbook Air hard drive and upgrading Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion at same time

I have a 2011 Macbook Air 3,2 running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). My 128GB SSD hard drive is completely full, and I have ordered an upgrade from OWC which also comes with an optional external enclosure. I would like to do a clean install (to "upgrade") to Mountain Lion on the new drive. Can anyone confirm if the following sequence will work?
1. Purchase Mountain Lion on App Store and download to an SD card
2. Connect my new OWC SSD as an external drive
3. Do a clean install of Mountain Lion from the SD card to my new external SSD
4. Boot from the external SSD
5. Use Migration Assistant to move everything from my in-system old SSD to the new (currently external) SSD
6. Shut down
7. Physically swap the SSD drives
8. Boot from the newly-installed larger internal SSD
9. Done?
Is it that simple or am I missing some major step? In particular, are there any complications with step 3 above?
Thanks for your help!

Carl,
The SD card can be used as a boot drive, if you manage to restore the image to the drive.. I tried to use an SD card in the built-in card reader, and for whatever reason could not get Disk Utility to restore the InstallESD.dmg image to the SD card directly when done throught the Air's reader. I had to use an SD card that had a built-in USB tab, and use USB. I did not try using an external SD adapter to the USB port to see if that would work.
Remember, you don't open the package by double clicking the installer, you Right-click (or Control+click) the installer, and choose Show Package Contents from the resulting contextual menu. In the folder that appears, open Contents, then open Shared Support; you’ll see a disk-image file called InstallESD.dmg.
Launch Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). Drag the InstallESD.dmg disk image into Disk Utility’s left-hand sidebar to the flash drive you want to restore the image to.
I would copy the downloaded installer to a safe location, so if you ever need it again.

Migration to new Macbook Air incomplete, disc ejected

Hi,
I am trying to migrate data from an external USB disk with time machine backup of my mid-2007 Macbook to a new Macbook Air 13". I have't found a problem like this in the forums.
The data is ca. 46GB, it shows it should take 24 mins but at 30% all of a sudden it speeds up to a 100%, says the migration was successful but an error window shows up at the same time saying that the disc was not ejected properly etc. And indeed some data was transferred (user preferences, documents) but some (music especially) was not. I have tried this both on a fresh installation at the startup and after having created an additional user account to be able to overwrite (same user name) the one I had already tried to migrate.
The external disc is PQI with two USB ends - I can only plug one in as the other USB port on MBA is on the other side and the other end of the cable won't reach there. I don't think this could be the problem, could it?
At first it seemed to me like the disc was ejected because the data was unreadable or unaccessible(?) on it. So I did a full fresh backup and it still would get ejected and the migration would be incomplete.
I really don't know what I should do. Whether to try and run the migration procedure over and over again, but this seems terribly silly and I don't know if this will duplicate files that have already been transferred or not.
I would greatly appreciate your help in finding the problem here.
Thanks!
geldbar

A couple of suggestions...
1) An external disk with two usb cords generally uses one of the cords for extra power...
you could try pluging the extra end into a powered usb hub.
2) You could try to sync directly from the existing machine if it is on the same network.
This is what I did.

Macbook Air hard drive fills itself.

Hi,
I have the following problem with my macbook air build 12C60. For some reason my hard drive is always full. I am barely storing stuff on my macbook besides pictures and still the hard drive gets full. Can this be because of the flash memory? I am really looking forward to hear from you people or from people that have the same problem.
Kind regards,
Maxime

Download a program called grand perpective to visually map out files and their sizes.

Can I return my MacBook Air for a full refund

I bought a MacBook Air on the 10th of December and I am disappointed about its lack of power especially as I was going to buy a MacBook Pro but I was advised at the apple store to get a MacBook Air as they thought it would suit my needs better. Will I be able to take the laptop back and get a full refund and use the money towards a MacBook Pro?

No, the Apple store only has a 14 day return policy.

MacBook Air Hard Drive Problems?

Ok, so I have a MacBook Air. I don't know the exact model, but it's a school laptop from Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School in Maine. I was watching a movie on the laptop, and I went to use Google Chrome, and Finder froze, and I got the little rainbow wheel spinny thing. So I shut down the computer, then when I turned it back on I got the blinking question mark folder. I looked everywhere for answers, and chose internet recovery. I did that, finally got to the disk utility section, and all that is there is "Disk0" with "Mac OS X Base System" under it. I'm familiar with what disk utility is, and I know that Startup Disk and Macintosh HD should be there, but they're not. There's nothing else there. I'm freaking out right now. There was a crap ton of files on there that I need (about 55 gigs worth, it's just music files and ideas). Almost 3 years of music production and important stuff for school. I looked everywhere for a place to send my laptop to, like Drivesavers, and some other company, and I don't have 1500 dollars to get back this stuff. I have literally tried everything on every link, every forum, and every page on here, and Google, and nothing is working. I need help now, if there's a solution I need to know it. Nothing will work, I've tried safe mode, verbose mode, holding option/alt, shift, command+shift+V/S, and absolutely nothing but getting to Internet Recovery, and then going to reinstall mountain lion 10.8, and there's nothing to choose from to reinstall it, and nothing in disk utility but disk0 and mac base system. I haven't downloaded anything unsafe. I just really need my files back without paying 1000s of dollars, and without destroying this laptop. I didn't get the warranty from my school for the laptop, because I don't have 150 dollars. I treated this laptop with care, and then all of a sudden this crap happens. It's never been dropped, there isn't any unusual sounds coming from it, it turns on fine, except this hard drive, or SSD, or IDK what it's called I'm not too tech savy with a problem like this. Please respond ASAP, and please read this thoroughly, and don't ask stuff that has been answered, not to sound like a jerk, but I've had problems here, and people just ignore me and blow me off.

Is there an open application that is using data on the external drive? If so, quit it before trying to eject.

My iPhone 5 connects to wifi but shows one bar on the wifi signal meter but my iPad2 and Macbook Air both show full wifi bars when all three are side by side next to my apple router. Do I have an antenna problem with my iPhone 5?

It appears that my iPhone 5 has a wifi signal reception issue. I only show one bar on the wifi signal meter even when I an next to the router. Both my Macbook Air and my iPad2 show full wifi signals at the same time. Rebooting the Apple router and each device results in the same meter readings.

Does this occur with any Wi-Fi connection? Or only a specific one?
If it occurs with any Wi-Fi connection, take it to Apple.
If it is only occurring with a specific Wi-Fi connection, it is an issue with that Wi-Fi connection.
Try the following, it may help:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Forget the Wi-Fi connection on the iPhone then reconnect.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

MacBook Air hard disk subfolder sizes don't add up to parent foler size

Hi,
My MacBook Air has only 4GB of hard disk space free, so I want to work out what I can archive onto an external hard drive. However, I don't seem to be able to find some of the files.
My user folder total size is 93GB, but when I add up the subfolders, I only get to about 49GB.
I suspect there are some hidden files, but I can't imagine they are 40GB.
Does anyone know where those GBs might have gone?
Thanks
Sarah

DO NOT delete files in your Home Folder -> Library tree as there are things like your iPhone backups, your email messages, your application preferences, etc...
DO NOT delete files outside your home folder, as you may end up deleting something essential to Mac OS X, and turn your Mac into an expensive “Door Stop”.
I will point out that you will find some very large files in private -> var -> vm (these are the Mac OS X virtual memory paging files (swapfiles) and where Mac OS X stores the copy of RAM when your Mac is put to sleep). The swapfiles get deleted on reboot, and the sleep image is just going to be created again when you put your Mac to sleep.
If you think you have found something to delete outside your home folder, it would be best to ask first before deleting. There are many examples of people deleting files outside their home folder, or renaming files, or changing the ownership or permissions of files, and then their Mac stops running. Do not be one of those people. Ask first.

Macbook Air Hard Disk is occupied by 15 GB of DocumentRevisions-v100, is it deletable if yes than how can I do that

The hard disk of my Macbook Air 128 gb is having hard disk filled by upto 80 gb. of which 15 GB I find is unacceptable is from "DocumentRevisions-v100". This is hidden file, How can I delete it.

You should go back to your Apple Reatiler Store since it is likely under warranty.
If'its not under warranty there e are a number of sites... here is one.

Personally I would sell the 128 and buy the one you need.

How to de-clutter MacBook Air Hard Disk?

Hi,
My MacBook Air has a Flash Hard Drive capacity of 120.47 GB, of which only 26.22 GB are free.
Two heads, Backups (23.44 GB) and Others (25.92 GB) are taking up the lion's share of hard disk space.
I have a 1 TB External USB Disk connected.
How can I take off these choking files and place them on the 1 TB Disk if required?
Regards
Rahul

"Other" includes necessary system files. The amount of that on your boot volume isn't especially high.
First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the available space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.
