  • My Storage shows 400GB but there is only @ 200GB on it

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    My Storage shows 401GB but there is only @ 200GB in folders, I think i screwed up trying to sync (I used Migration) my old windows contacts and actually copied the drive onto my Mac but cannot find where, also i don't think i removed apps properly when i got it so the icon is gone but the 'App' is still on the drive. any help, advice or suggestions please.

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    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—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the 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.
    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. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also 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. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP 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 the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    For ODS:
    security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
    For GP:
    security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
    Launch the built-in 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 and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password.
    The application window will open behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will eventually show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything 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 in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • I have a iphone 4s that I am trying to syn. whenI look at Iphone content it shows music, but there is this symbol  A dotted circle and these will not play.please help asI am frustrated.

    I have a iPhone 4s that I am trying to syn. when I look at IPhone content it shows music, but there is this symbol  A dotted circle and these will not play. Please help as I am frustrated.

    Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

  • Why is my reminders icon showing "1", but there's nothing in my reminders?

    Since the IOS6 upgrade, my reminders icon is showing "1" but there are no reminders set.  How do I get this "1" to disappear?

    In my case, I found the problem.  While clicking on the reminders icon took me to the reminders page which was empty, I found that I could scroll right to see tasks, and for some reason I had a task.  Once I deleted it, the (1) went away and it's all OK now.

  • Restored vault on a new Mac and the projects and albums show up but there are no photos.

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro.  I currently have about 33,000 photos on an older MBP.  I created a vault (I thought) of my old Aperture library and saved it to my Time Machine.  I restored it to the new MBP, which took forever, but after the restore the projects and albums I created show up on the new MBP but there are no photos.  In the 'About My Mac' storage settings it says there is 162.68 GB of photos on my computer (which is the same size as the photos on my old MBP).  How do I find them?!

    If you want to remove the movies & videos from your iPod Nano in order to transfer to your computer, connect your iPod Nano to your computer.  Double click your iPod Nano icon.  Double click the DCIM folder.  Your recorded video content will be in your DCIM folder.  Drag the video content onto your desktop & place them where you want. 

  • TS-OPUI shows Passed but there are fail-tests - why?

    Hello,
    i am using TS4.2.1 and LV8.6 in WIndowsXP. There i use the default TS-OPUI.
    In the TS-OPUI there is in the left side a Execution-list with a final-result Passed/Failed and a color green/red.
    When i click on a execution then it shows me on the right side the report of this execution.
    Now i have the problem that TS shows a final result of PASSED but there are some fail-tests in the sequence that are shown in the report.
    How is this possible?
    Thanks

    I am getting nearer...
    When the error occurs then Teststand shows me the RunTimeError-occured-popup (screenshot).
    When selecting here: runCleanup -> then the result goes on Pass
    When selecting here: ignore -> then the result goes on Fail.
    I am sure that it is somewhere in the model.
    Because when using the default-model (and not my custom model as above) then the result is going correct on Error when selecting runCleanup.
    The question is nonly: Where is this set?

  • Music shows "more" but there is none

    iPod Touch running iOS 6.1.5: when I choose Music, at the bottom of the resulting screen there Playlists, Artists, Songs, Albums and More. But there is no "more" that appears when I touch that item.
    -- Guerri

    Yes, I did look at the "More Like This" discussions and none of them addressed my question.
    I assumed that touching the "more" item would display other menu options on the bottom line of the screen.  Instead, "more" shows me a list on the main screen and in my case, at least, the list is "compilations", "composers", and "genres". So I was not properly interpreting what I saw as being the additional menu options. In other words, please excuse my stupidity.

  • Mail icon shows messages but there are none

    Hi-
    Last night after checking mail and deleting everything (in, sent & trash) the mail icon still has the red dot with a two in it. Any thoughts?
    Did a reset to no avail....

    Okay... Well I think I solved my own issue. There are two ways to delete messages in the messages app. You can swipe to the left, or you can click edit and delete it that way. The latter of which i didn't try as I thought they were synonymous. Turns out that it actually reset the new messages counter, and it now shows as no unread messages. Anyone having similar issues in the future be sure and delete messages using edit then clicking the red icon to the left of the message.

  • I imported bookmarks from Firefox 3.6 on a MacBook Pro to Firefox 3.6 on new Mac Air. The bookmark folders all show up, but there are no bookmarks in the folders.

    Using Firefox 3.6.12 on both machines. Exported the bookmarks at html and imported them as html. The import seemed to go well -- followed the standard approach. I can see all the folders in my Bookmarks Menu and Bookmarks Toolbar, there are no bookmarks in the folders. I tried re-exporting and re-importing.

    You can find the Import menu entry in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)
    *Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Data from Another Browser
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks
    Import & Backup is the third button on the toolbar in the Library that looks like a star.
    You should be able to export the bookmarks via that button.

  • Adobe Reader for Vista Shows Vulnerable, but THERE IS NOT THE VERSIN THAT MOZILLA SAYS T UPDATE TO? Where is it????

    Mozilla keeps telling us we need to update to Adobe Reader version 11.0.10.32. Nowhere in the Adobe site is there such a version. Have looked, have contacted, so will Mozilla PLEASE TELL US WHERE? Additionally, this is being sent from my Vista OS, and Adobe has no Version 11 for Vista. SO neither my XP PRO systems not my Vista Systems will update to the Version Mozilla shows in the Add-ons Plugin Manager pages.

    Adobe doesn't support Reader/Acrobat XI on Vista. Who knows why... as long as Help > Check for Updates in Reader/Acrobat says you are up-to-date, trust that information.
    Also, please see my reply in your other thread: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1057975#answer-719224

  • Why won't my airport express work with the latest iTunes, the airport shows green but there is no icon in iTunes any longer, what has gone wrong, desperate!!

    Airport Express used to work with iTunes v11 but now with v12 there is no sign of the little icon that used to appear over the volume button.  The Airport is finding the network, nothing has changed bar the version of iTunes, what should I do??

    A friend has helped me solve this problem, in my case it was nothing to do with Windows firewalls as some have suggested but it was simply a matter of resetting both the router and the Airport, the Airport is fairly obvious but not the router at least this was the first time I recall HAVING to reset it.

  • I got a new phone and phone number two weeks ago, I like to iMessage on my macbook pro but none of my new conversations show up, I went into the preferences to change the settings so only conversations from my new number show up, but there is no change.

    If anyone can please help me, I would like to continue using iMessage on my laptop, but none of my new conversations exist only the older ones. I went into the iMessage preferences to delete my old number off the iMessage account and added my new number and email but I still don't get any new messages. Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong or how to change it further?
    Please and thanks.

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • Siri Shows Up But Doesn't Respond

  • ITunes will sync my playlists, but there's no music in it

    When I sync my playlists over to my iDevice, the playlist will show up, but there is no music in the folder. The playlist shows up on my iDevice, and the music is still synced to the device, but there is no music in the playlist. This has only happened when iTunes updated to version 12

    If you want all the songs from an artist on your phone you can to to the artist view, tap on the artist, scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see a Download All button.  This works for playlists and albums too (scroll to the bottom and tap the Download All button).  I suppose if you wanted all your music on your phone you could create a smart playlist in iTunes on your computer that would contain all your music, upload it to iTunes match (Store>Update iTunes Match), and then you would get a Download All button at the bottom of this playlist on your phone to download all your songs.
