My macbook pro has 750gb storage but it says it is full with 550gb being "Other" and I can't find anything it could be. There's no way I have this much on my computer. How can I find it?

I've searched the entire computer for what could be 550gb and I can't find anything. I have about 120gb of music, 30gb pictures, 22gb applications, 8gb video, and the documents on my computer can't be more than 10gb. How can I find out what is taking up all this space, it doesn't seem possible?

Download Omni Disk sweeper and use it to identify what's what on your Mac.

I am having trouble transferring files from an old MacBook (2007) to a MacBook Air over a wireless network. The connection was interrupted and the time was over 24 hours. Is there a better way to do this? I'm using Migration assistant.

I have a iMac I recently loaded Mavericks and Safari is very buggy. My MacBook pro has been doing great. Anyone else having issues with safari?

Safari just hangs up and has to be restarted. My Macbook Pro has been doing great. Just iMac.

Log into your Guest user and test Safari.

My Macbook Pro has Maverick OS, but it was wiped clean at the Genius Bar. Now I do not have Bon Jour and I can't reinstall my Epson XP 410 printer without Bon Jour?

Can't get my printer to appear on the Add Printer List - it is greyed out. Says to use Bon Jour, but it was deleted. Lost all my apps when Genius Bar wiped my Mac, but now they say they do not deal with third party apps.
Can I download Bon Jour somewhere?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Thanks.. I had Bon Jour on the Maverick that they wiped out, and it was in my Sidebar. Now I can't find it on the new install. I have looked in Applications, Utilities and in the System. When I Search, it is not found. I have the printer drivers for my Epson 410 installed, but it asks that Bon Jour be used to find and add the printer. It is very frustrating. I will go back to my last update on Passport and see if I can find it. As I am sure you can tell, I am not very experienced with this. But I appreciate your response!

Macbook pro has wifi connected but won't open internet - says computer offline - works fine on ethernet and other pc's

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue - wifi is connected but the web browser won't open - gives message that computer is offline. It works fine on ethernet and also on other computers in house. no other modem or devices in home.
computer one year old.

He advised me to 'back up' everything and 'reformat' the computer.
I have been looking at how to do these tasks - not 100% on both.
The quickest way to do this is to create a clone copy of your existing internal Macintosh HD. You can create this copy using applications like Data Backup, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper!.
I use an external USB HDD for the clone copies.
The following AppleInsider article will give you an idea on how to use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone backup of your Mac's hard drive.

My MacBook Pro has no sound, but the volume setting works

My 15' MacBook Pro 2012's sound is not working. You can still change the volume by pressing F10 to F12, but not actual sound comes out. The headphone jack is not red (although I have experienced that problem before and fixed it). Whether the headphones are plugged in or if they aren't, there is still no sound. I am running on OS X 10.7.5 with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory and the storage capacity is 749.3 GB total.

Have you tried a PRAM reset?

My MacBook Air has OSX Version 10.9 and suddenly I can no longer access iPhoto. THe message says, 'You can't use this version of the applicaitonn iPhot with this version of OS X. You have iphoto 9.3.2." When I try to update iPhoto, I get a message saying I signed in with a different apple ID and password. This all happened about the same time I got a new iphone.

I have lost facetime on my macbook pro. Calls ring but message says fail

I have lost facetime on my macbook pro. I place the call, it rings then says 'failed'. Has been working very well until now. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

Hello lindseynicola,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you're having issues with making calls using FaceTime on your Mac. I'd like you to take a look at the following troubleshooting information, in order to get this issue resolved:
Troubleshooting FaceTime for Mac
You can make FaceTime calls using the FaceTime app. You can call FaceTime users whose contact information is in Contacts. You can add contacts and edit contact information in either FaceTime or Contacts. To place a video call, you may use a phone number or email address.
If you encounter issues making or receiving FaceTime calls, try the following:
Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences.If the issue persists, or if you see the message "Waiting for Activation", try toggling FaceTime off and then on.
Verify that the Date, Time, and Time Zone are set correctly:From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences > Date & Time > Date & Time.
Enable "Set Automatically".
Click the Time Zone tab and confirm the closest city is correct.
Verify that both parties are connected to an active broadband Internet connection.
See Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection.
Consult Using FaceTime behind a firewall for necessary ports to open in firewalls, security software and routers.
If you encounter issues using a Wi-Fi network, use standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting to resolve interference and other issues.
Verify the phone number or email address being used is the correct one activated for FaceTime.You can verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
Verify that both parties have installed the latest software updates for their Mac and/or device. See:

HT3964 For the past several months my MacBook Pro has been shutting down. I get horrible video with marks and striations acress the laptop screen and an additional monitor and the weird video problems until the multilingual notice comes up saying to shut

I used two monitors, and several months ago the MacBook Pro started crashing frequently. It seems like it might be overheating. Sometimes the disks seems to race. I leave the computer on most of the time and it sleeps when I am away, but when I come back in the morning it will have colored striations across both screens, and soon the multilingual announcement comes up that I have to press and hold down the power key.
Also, when using a progam like Skype video, the video goes insane frequently, with Skype windows freezing, video freezing, Skype window cutting in half, and eventually the computer crashing.
It seems to be a video problem.
What do I do?

I would take some screen shots of the anomalies and take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar. I you cannot reproduce the display problems, the screen shots will at least give them a start point for an analysis.
Ciao.

MacBook Pro scans images fine, but only saves as gray page with banding

I purchased a new MacBook Pro recently. I used my HP Deskjet F4580 to scan with my old MacBook and it worked fine. Now when I scan the image it appears fine on my screen, but when I go to save, there is no trace of the image, just a full gray page with some banding. I tried another printer/scanner: HP Officejet 7310 and I got the same results. I have tried saving as a pdf, jpeg, png. I read other ways to operate the scanner with a Mac, still no success. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi Julie,
In order to help you better. Would you let me know which application/Service of Adobe you are using?
And what are you steps to scan the file and save it. And if you are using any Non-Adobe application to scan the documents are you able to save them perfectly?
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.

HT4628 After installing the new OS from apple (10.8.2) my macbook pro keeps disconnecting from the internet. I am connecting with an Airport Extreme and while it shows I am connected, every 20-45 seconds its searching for a wireless connection. Any sugg

I guess I posted my question as a title but that is my issue. My airport is connected via wireless yet it keeps searching for a wireless connection, hence I am experiencing bad latency and disconnection issues. Anyone know a solution?

I have the same problem. And in my case it happens when i transfer "large" files over the WiFi. When i send an MP3 filer over Skype i loose connection. When i transfer updates between my iPhone 5 / iPad 3 and iMac with Mountain Lion i loose connection. When i have a video conference i loose connection. You get the idea.
There is usually like 30 people using their own router on the 2.4 GHz band near by. None on the 5 GHz band which i use. But when my WiFi freezes on ML i can only see my own router. And i am also connected to it. But all my neighbors WiFi routers are now invisble to me. My network stalled.
What i do is that i disconnect my WiFi and then reconnect it again. Thank fixes it. But all my transfers and what not has been dropped. And i have to start all over - and the WiFi will stall again.
While my WiFi is frozen on the iMac with ML i have no problem using the same router on the same 5 GHz band with my iPhone 5 or iPad 3.
Downgrading the AirPort Extreme to 7.6.1 from 7.6.3 helped a bit. Now i only loose connection a few times each day.
It is a software error in ML i am sure of. A driver maybe. But i am suspecting that it is either a speed-sync error or an energy saving error. Like the network card turns of in the middle of a file transfer to save enrgy - maybe.
When i stream movies from my iMac to my Apple TV or 3 there is no problem at all. It is so odd.

How can I set up multiple spaces (desktops) on my new MacBook Pro 10.9.5? I have six set up on my other computer MacBook Pro 10.8.5 but can't find how to do it on this new one. Would appreciate help on this. Cheers.

It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.
The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance):
