Migrated powerbook to new macbook air with mavericks and the macbook air is using much more storage
I migrated powerbook to new macbook air with mavericks and the macbook air is using much more storage than the powerbook.
I'm trying to figure out why the new macbook air takes almost twice as much storage as the old powerbook with the same content.

Does Production Premium CS6 work with Maverick and the new iMacs
Does Production Premium CS6 work with Maverick and the new i Macs
Thankx for your reply. I saw the Apple tech note but that's what Apple says. I just want to know from users who experienced the thing if it really works.
It doesn't seem so simple if you believe what this site tells (sorry it's in French):

Im trying to free up some of the space on my macbook pro, its been filled up with itunes hd movies, so i purchased a 1TB portable hard drive and moved all my itunes files to it to free up some space. When i went into about this mac and checked storage, it says i have over 400GB's of back ups. I back up everyday through time machine to my time capsule, not sure what to do, any help is much appreciated! thanks
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. 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, nor should you disable them or Time Machine.

Is the new simcity compatible with any of the macbook pros
The case for the game doesnt have any information for macbooks or anything for apple but only for windows so i was just wondering if i can just buy the game and play it on a 2011 macbook pro because thats all i have i also played diablo 3 on my macbook pro and it worked fine but i dont know if simcity is just strictly for windows
It is.

i have seen many other threads about this, but i just want to know if anyone has found a fix that actually works? or do i just need to wait for apple to send a fix in their next update?
Suppose you elaborate on what you are doing with the MBP that makes the battery life terrible.

1. Yes, it'll be free.
2. Sometime this fall.

I have a new Mac Air and started the migration assistant. It stopped at some point and the Mac Air locked up...the cursor moves but I can't get anything to happen on the screen. I would like to undo what has been done so far on the migration assistant as well as unlock the Mac Air. How do I do this?
Try recovery mode.

I have new MacBook Air. When I first got it, I migrated some of my files from my PC to the MacBook Air without any problems. Now I'm trying to migrate more files, music, etc. and I keep getting the continuous spining circle with "Looking for Other Computers." I've tried everything and for some reason it is not finding my PC. What am I doing wrong?
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games.
Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

MacBook Air with Mavericks. I need to download agendas with embedded files. This is through an encrypted email account. My Mac is blocked from even opening the embedded files on line and I can't save any of this to my laptop. It works fine on my PC laptop. Help please. I know this is a problem for other people too, but would love the solution!
Gee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year. -
Is Mac's firewall sufficient or is will an additional firewall help? What security suite do you recomend for MacBook Air with Maverick?
Third party security software is better at causing problems then it is at solving them.
I recommend against them.
If you felt it is necessary then configure the firwall software included with OS X.

Hi! is it possible that Logic X has upgrades that work only with mavericks and does t work in mountain lion....since in my macbook pro with mavericks i have new views of the equalizer, etc and in my mac pro with mountain lion it still the old view...
Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.
