    Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.

  • What is the best way to add hard disk space to macbook pro?

    I'm running out of disk space on my macbook pro. What is the best way to add disk space?

    another way of doing it is to replace your hard drive with a larger one.
    if you're technically capable, it takes 10 minutes for the swap and an hour minimum to clone your hard drive or do a data transfer.  all depends on how much data there is to trandfer or to clone.
    good luck.

  • What is the best way to keep an iMac and a MacBook Pro synchronized?

    I've got an iMac and a MacBook Pro.
    I need them to be synchronized daily (Data, documents, contacts, etc.) but I can NOT use the Cloud because of customer preferences.
    I've recently bought a Time Capsule.
    Can this device be used to keep both computers synchronized in an easy and non time consuming way?
    If not, is there any App like "Beyond Compare" for Mac?
    Thanks.

    Morning Acousticare,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Thunderbolt cables should not exceed three meters for maximum performance. The Apple Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2.0 m) is two meters in length.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    About Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2.0 m)

  • What is the best way to remotely access my sister in laws Mac who lives in another city to help her with her computer problems?

    What is the best way to remotely access my sister in laws Mac who lives in another city to help her with her computer problems?

    The best way? Get her to bring it to you, especially if she makes good cakes.
    Apples Back to my Mac isn't really suitable for this - it is designed for a single person who wants their Apple ID on the system. It would mean she would have to share hers with you & you would also have to setup her Apple ID on your Mac - it is messy & causes trouble with iCloud, iTunes etc.
    You can try Messages if she is able to begin a session with you, see the 'invite to share screen' in the menus, weirdly you need to use a service that isn't from Apple.
    Messages (Mavericks): Share your screen
    It may be better if you to setup LogMeIn or GoToMyPC. They should 'dial out' & maintain a constant connection so you can login whenever the Mac is powered up. It won't, require a human to initiate the process at the other end, just be aware that the router may cause issues depending on what is configured, you may need settings to enable automatic port forwarding - it really depend on which option you choose.

    what is the best way to get adware off from my Macbook? I seem to be infected.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • What is the best way to remotely stream iTunes content?

    Hello,
    I have a rather large iTunes library (approximately 1TB) made up of Videos (iTunes and non-iTunes) and audio (iTunes and Audible) currently sitting on a 3TB external drive. I was wondering what is the best ie. most effieicent/affordable method to access my iTunes library, on my laptop, when I'm not at home?
    I've tried iTunes Match in the past yet, unfortunately, iTunes Match has always succeeded in destroying parts of my iTunes library forcing me to restore from backup (which takes several hours). The only other options that I've been able to find are either 1) Buying a 1TB+ portable external drive and puting my iTunes library on it (costs around $150 for 2TB) or 2) Buying a Slingbox 350 ($180, not sure if a service subscription is required) and watch my iTunes Library through my 3rd Gen Apple TV.
    Given that iTunes Match was so problematic for me in the past, are these my only other options? Does anyone know of a better solution as to how I can do this?
    Any assistance with this will be greatly appreciated.

    I have a large iTunes library, 600Gb of Music and 20TB odd of video.
    I tried a few different things while I was on the road.
    The VPN back was Ok, but I was looking for ways to run video to hotel rooms and 3G / Hotel WIFI wasn't doing it for me.
    For Video I ended up using AirVideo from my iMac to my iPad, and that was Ok, Pex can do the same now, so will try that as well.
    For music I ended up creating a new login on my iMac and loaded the music that meant the most or was new into iTunes up to 25k songs and shared it using Music Match, that work well for me.
    My guess is that Plex will let you share and remote access all your audio video, I haven't tried it yet though.

  • What is the best way to install & clone hard drives on macbooks? does apple do that?

    It is time for a new hard drive for my macbook - just doiubles the memory, but am still getting the spinning beach ball. The genius bar told me I need a new hard drive, but that I could buy it and out it in myself. But, I just heard that the best way to replace the hard drive is to clone it... and that is beyond my abilities.
    Does apple do that??? suggestions? thanks!

    Please note that "cloning" a hard drive is not the same as replacing it. You clone the drive to preserve its contents (usually on the drive that will be the replacement). You still have to get into the MB, physically, take out the old drive and install the new one. There are plenty of web sites that tell you how to do this replacement. This is one I like: http://www.macinstruct.com/node/130
    The details do vary depending on the vintage of your MB, so if that link is not for your model, try searching the web for instructions specific to your need. Or post back here with details about your Mac.
    If Apple did agree to do this for you it would probably cost almost as much as a new MB. (And if you do buy a new MB, my local Mac store will do the data transfer as a bonus!)
