Please help!!!! new apple user here x...x desperate please at least look at my problem

hi!!! i think im curious about something... I purchased a macbook air last saturday and it had a 128gb storage.. so i updated all the pending apps on the appstore and i downloaded a media player and a flash player... basically i have not saved any music or video files yet... so earlier this day i decided yo checj on my storage space and i was surprised to see that i have  around 1 gb of audio and 783. mb of movies used... i also have around 31 gb of apps used..my question is why do i have those 1 gb and 783 mb of storage used when i dont even have any music file or movies on my laptop??? is it part of the app that i downloaded???? thanks!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The movies may be "inside" App's - tutorials or help files, sample music (there's some royalty free music included in iPhoto for use in making a quick sideshow). Same with the Images you're sing every single file that can be classified according to 5 data categories: Audio, Movies, Photos, Apps, and Backups. Anything else is categorized as "Other."
It does sometimes happen that you see numbers in this window that are obviously incorrect, "About This Mac" may even report 0KB used for a file type when you know far more than this is on your system. You may have to reindex your system.

  • PLEASE HELP    |    ~ New apple user  ~      How to add "most played" list

    Hi all.
    Ive never bought anything from apple untill the 160 gb ipod classic. Ive been using itunes but now with the iPod I was looking a bit how things work.
    Now ive found out I don't seem to have a playlist on my iPod with the most played songs. Ive connected the iPod with itunes and made a smart playlist with played on 25. Now the list is there but there are only 24 songs in it and it isn't showing the ammount of how many times ive played them.
    Now ive inspirated this playlist by many other older iPods ive seen but never owned where there is, somehow, a playlist with the most played song.
    is this just simply impossible?
    Also, I was wondering if itunes updates itself after conntecting (so it would update - for example - the ratings that have changed on my iPod.
    Sorry for the bad english and many thanks for reading this. please help.
    - thanks

    You need to configure your Base Station using the Airport Admin Utility.
    Download the PDF document Designing Airport Networks and read the detailed instructions that begin on page 43.

    hello i am buying the new 24inch imac and wanted to know if anyone can help me find a program or something that will let me convert my outlook express email folders like inbox and deleted folders. in put them into osx mail inbox and deleted folders. can this be done?
    thank you
    Jason

    Is your account in outlook express POP or IMAP?
    If it is an IMAP account in outlook express, then you only need set up that IMAP account in mail.app on your new imac, and you are done.
    If it is a POP account in outlook express, then you first need to set up an IMAP account in outlook express - gmail offers a free IMAP account service for example, or Fastmail or AIM mail... Once the IMAP account has been set up in outlook express, then just drag and drop from your pop account mailboxes to your imap account mailboxes, depending on the number of emails you drag and drop it may take less or more time for that process to be completed. Once that is done, then set up that IMAP accountin mail.app on your new imac, and again you are done.
    I would add that if you want a POP account on your imac, then you would have to create a POP account in mail.app then drag and drop your mail from the mailboxes in your IMAP account to your new POP account.
    hope this helps

    Hi again. It seems like there is information people are looking for to help you that they don't have. It occurs to me that you have a new Mac and you perhaps have an Apple Store with a Genius Bar in your area. A great experience for you might be to visit one and let them setup your mail for you (for free) and debug, if there is a problem of any sort. You can make an advanced reservation at Apple Stores at http://www.apple.com/buy/. Select the nearest store and make reservation. If you haven't been in an Apple Store, you're in for a treat.

  • My iPhone will not turn on or do anything. When I plug my iPhone into my computer to restore it it comes up with error 2001 or 21 and I've tried everything. Please help experienced apple users!

    Tittle says all! I need help! The iPhone 5 will not do anything when pluged in. Please help!

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • Not enough room for iWork, please help new mac user!

    I'm a college student in great need of a word processing application for my Powerbook G4. I just bought iWork for that reason and am stuck because I don't know how to get rid of the right things on the Hard drive to make enough room for it. It says it needs 74.4GB and only has 62.3GB free on the hard drive. Please let me know how I can free up space and get my homework done asap! Thanks, Caro

    You should have a look at OmniGroup's OmniDiskSweeper application, which you can find here:
    http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/
    This application will analyse your hard disk usage and list all the files according to category (application, document, etc.) and size, thus making it easy to identify large and useless files. Note that this application is, technically speaking, not free, as you have to pay $15 to enable the delete button. However, if you've identified several large files which you'd like to delete, you can easily do that in the Finder, so from a practical point of view, DiskSweeper is free. Oh, one last suggestion: be careful when deleting stuff. Try avoiding deleting stuff that is on your system or library folders, UNLESS you really know what you are doing.

    New apple user, just got new iPod touch gen 5 and there is no App Store on it. Restored it twice and this does nothing. What do I do, help please :(

    Has it been disabled via Settings -> General -> Restrictions?
    I assume you have checked other pages of apps by swiping to the left from the home screen?

    My guess is that the security settings on your router and iPod do not match.
    For a test, change your router so there is no security.  See if you can connect and get to the Internet. If that works, set up the router with security and use the same settings for the iPod.

    She should call Apple support or visit the Genius Bar at an Apple store (make an appointment first at http://apple.com/retail). They will walk her through the process.
