There are no more 10 gb used. I only downloaded chrome, ccleaner and skype which did not throught apps store. There are not big 50 gbs, i believe. I got a question about the original application sizes of osx 10.9. Is it still big enough for apps have more than 50gbs?
Thanks for help!!!!!

  • Too Many Apps Resuming on Startup

    Hey so I'm having an issue that's seriously driving me crazy. Here are the symptoms:
    -When I restart or shut down/turn on my computer, way too many apps are opening. Like I quit some apps, continue using my computer, eventually restart it, and the apps I quit re-open, even though they were not running when Lion shut down.
    NOTE: This happens even if I uncheck "Re-open windows when logging back in"!! It still opens up all my apps again!
    -When I do things in apps like sticky notes such as creating new notes/editing existing notes and then quit the application, it opens from the state it started at (all new notes dissapear, edited notes revert).
    -I open apps such as minecraft, and it loses all it's saved data and reverts me to a save I made like a week ago, but all future saves are gone.
    -In system preferences, if I uncheck "restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps", then exit out of system prefs, when I open it back up it's checked again.
    -I also tried turning Number of Recent Items: Applications to "Never" and when I restarted this was back to 10.
    My Computer:
    Macbook Pro (May 2011)
    i5 Processor
    8GB Ram
    OSX Lion (latest version)
    Does anyone know what's going on?
    Thanks,
    Emory

  • Hello everyone. I have my itunes account for some years, and i've purchased far too many apps and music. Now the company i work for, has to change my account in the iphone, in order to use the corporate mails and calendar. How can i keep my applications?

    Changing your Apple ID to your current, working email address will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address.

  • How can I tell which apps or programs are open at any time. At a recent visit to the Genius at my local Apple store, the "Genius" told me that too many apps or programs are running in the background. I'm using Mountain Lion on a McBook Pro

    I was told that my Mac has to work extra hard because there are too many apps and/or programs open in the background. How can one tell what is open?? It must be something which is not normally visible to the user??
    Hans

    Thanks, I have looked at that several times but I can't detect any one item which would indicate overusage. The small chart (indicator bars) are much on the low side and the onse which show are basically green? Not sure what the person at the Genius Bar saw so I'm somewhat puzzled.

  • Genius: "you have no memory because you have too many apps running" ?!?!?!?

    hey all,
    just a quick thing. I saw a genius today, because like many of you, i'm not only dealing with antenna issues but also have some really bad proximity sensor stuff. I mean, seriously, i've done three way calls, face timed everyone, end calls of 50-60 percent of my calls, searched maps, made new contacts, etc. all with my face! rrrgggg but what i was more puzzled about was what the genius told me was,
    "you have no memory because there are too many apps running in the background" when i questioned and said, didn't steve say, "if you have to think about it, you've done it wrong" yet now i'm having issues with my phone, it is because of the multitasking? does this make any sense...it didn't to me. does he not know what he is talking about....or if he is right, there is nothing i can do about it right? he said there isn't a way to turn multi tasking off, just have manually quit programs.........any advice onto if he is correct...

    The genius is incorrect. The apps that are suspended in the background are told to release memory, and if there is a shortage of memory or they don't comply as required they will be terminated at will by the OS (freeing memory). This is all done behind the scenes and will not cause you any memory issues. And the upside is you can switch to them much faster.
    Shorter version: memory not an issue with background tasks.

  • Too many apps

    Is anyone having issues with playing videos? I'm having errors stating too many apps opened and need to close some.
    I have the standard number of apps preloaded but I checked I have 79 apps? Is this due to having apps loaded to QNX and andriod player? How can I resolve this?
    Thanks!

    I guess there maybe a size limit on the video file.
    I did look at the my app world and have 4 apps but take at look yours.
    Go to "about" on uper right and general..
    Under model, OS version and Serial #.. you will see the # of apps which is more than what you see at my app world..

  • Too many apps - how do I delete those not on the 11 pages?

    I have way too many apps & my space is almost all used up. I know how to delete apps from the 11 pages of 20 apps each. I know how to access my extra apps from the search iPad page but how do I delete some of those apps where I have to type them in to find them? Many thanks.

    Probably easier to delete them in bulk in iTunes and then resync your iPad?

  • Does having too many apps (like more than 100) affect the iPod Touch 5g's battery

    So with today being the App Store's 5 year anniversary, there are a LOT of top notch apps becoming free, which I have wanted.
    However this worries me - can having too many apps downloaded affect my iPod Touch 5g's performance & battery life?
    Extra Details:
    iPod Touch 5g 32gb, just got it two days ago.
    iI already have over 70 apps

    I say they will only adversely effect performance and battery life if the apps do things when the apps are completely shut down. By shutdown I mean the app are not in the recently used row when yo double click the Homne button. By doing something I mean that sme apps are always checking for things like when you get a notification.

  • Does too many apps slow down iphone's performance?

    does too many apps slow down iphone's performance?

    31 apps is nothing. I have 130 apps XD. Then again, I'm using an iPhone 4S which has more RAM compared to the 3GS. RAM is everything when it comes to speed. To use the app switcher, press the home button twice quickly and a list of your recently opened apps will appear. Then hold down on any app and all the apps will go to wiggle mode (like they do when you're deleting apps. Now, simply tap on the red icon that appears at the top left corner of any app you don't want running in the background. This will free up RAM and should make your phone faster.

  • Too many apps frying the processor?

    Is this true?
    Heavy use,running too many apps burn the processor?
    My friend's 5800 would get hot whenever he used it.
    He went to nokia care and the people there said that the processor was burnt and was out of repair.
    If used,then the battery would explode.
    His phone was out of warranty.
    Can this happen?
    Im also an s60v5 user and would like to know.
    IF YOU FIND POSTS HELPFUL HIT THE BIG GREEN BOX TO THE LEFT WITH THE WHITE STAR IN IT THANKS

    Sounds like something coming from the rear of a male cow to me, only instances I've heard of are when people 'overclock' there phones with hacking, from the factory most Nokia processors are 'underclocked' precisely to avoid this kind of issue. I use my phones in what I would describe as an intensive manner and have never had an issue, I wouldn't lose a lot of sleep about it

  • Is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    Hey bishopcheen,
    Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
    Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
    http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
    Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
    Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
    Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Hello, i can't open any apps on my macbook air or install any app

    Hello, i can't open any apps on my macbook air. when i am attempting it says "you may need to reinstall app but when i am trying to reinstall it doesn't do anything. i can only browse right now. It happened right after when i deleted some files i was trying to uninstall the useless app and i think i accidently deleted some system files. Right now it is letting me to download the app but i cannot install any of the app or even open any application. please help

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • I lost App store app on my macbook air.can i get it now?

    i lost App store app on my macbook air.can i get it now?

    Are you running with Snow Leopard 10.6.5 as your profile suggests.   If so you should not be able to get to the App Store.   So what do you have?
    You need Snow Leopard update 10.6.8.   Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Once you have that I don't see why not.   Check your purchase listing.   If it is there you can download again free.
