What is using up all of my monthly data??

I have xfinity internet & phone (only), no cable TV. I've gone thru 276/300GB of data in 2 weeks! What's going on?

That's quit a bit. How many devices do you have?

How do I identify what is using up all my disc space?

Hi,
I am about to run out of harddrive space, and am trying to identify where I am using up all my capacity.
Is there a good utility that I can use to identify candidate files to move over to an external harddrive? Or if not a utility, what do folks in the forum use to keep their 500G drive as clean as possible?
Thanks,
--Brian

Try OmniDiskSweeper, WhatSize, or Grand Perspective - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.

How do I find out what is using up all my data at 3 different times of the day?

At exactly the same time, 3 times a day something on my computer is using up all my data allowance. Any suggestions on how to determine what is doing that? I have turned off Windows update to manual.

With Windows, Msconfig in diagnostic startup. If the problem goes away, use selective startup to isolate system services or startup items as the problem group. Once you know which group you can use the tab to enable individual programs in the group then restart to test for the problem. Don’t forget to use Normal Startup in Msconfig to return the system to normal. If you find the problem program, either uninstall it or use the program’s configuration to fix it.

Won't display my gadgets - explorer does - so not gadgets - what gives - use to all the time - not anymore - how do I get them back

All of a sudden my gadgets don't display in my igoogle home page. Use to all the time and they will if I use internet explorer it just happens with mozilla firefox.
How do I get them to display properly they just are listed on the left hand side of the screen.

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

What's using up all my HD space? Ghosts?

My HD storage space seems to be all used up. Yet when I tally it up manually the numbers don't add up. It seems like there is a large amount of space being used up but it is not accounted for. I'm not talkin about a few MBs, but it seems to actually be about 4-5 missing GBs!
I should first mention that I use Azureus to download torrents of TV programs on a daily basis because I live in Japan and this is the only way I can watch all my favorite shows save for asking friends and family to tape everything and send it to me.
On average I d/l and watch about 1GB worth of video each day. After I watch something I then trash it. I've been doing this since the new year started and at that point I had about 8GB of free space to play with. Today, after deleting all files I've watched I seem to have only 2.5GBs left, eventhough I haven't d/led or installed anything else. So...what's taking up this space? Any ideas? Anyone experience something similar to this?
Please help me.
EDIT:
My HD: 27.82 capacity
Used on HD:
Apps:910MB
Library:1.62GB
System:1.02GB
Users:14.27GB
Remaining:2.58GB
If you do the math I should have at least 10GB remaining, why is it only 2.58GB? Where are the other 7.42GBs at???

I rebooted and only got a few extra 100 MBs back. I did notice however that my ~User/Library/Logs/Crash Reporter folder is storing 1.07 GBs of crash Logs! Isn't that a little crazy? Is it OK to erase those Logs?
Anyways, I'm going to try out the programs recommended above. Thanks for the help and I'll post back with how things are going^^!
EDIT: Ok I used WhatSize...
When I started it it gave me these numbers:
Capacity: 27.8GB
Used:25.2GB
Available:2.55GB
Then it measured my HD and gave me this number:
18.2GB on HD....so apparently there are 7 phantom GBs on my HD that neither myself nor WhatSize can account for. That's a whole lotta space that'd be nice to have, lol.

What's using up all my memory?

Hi,
I have a late-2011 MBP with 4GB of memory. A minute ago I noticed that 72% of my memory was being used even though I had no applications running. I restarted the computer, and as soon as it booted up it showed 40% was being used, again with no apps running. The top processes (in descending order of usage) were:
kernel_task
SystemUIServer
mds
WindowServer
Dock
My only startup items are iTunes Helper and a server app that lets me use my phone as a trackpad. I doubt the latter is the problem, because quitting it doesn't change the total usage %.
What's going on in the background, and how do I stop it?
Thanks for your help.

OS X uses memory very efficiently. You paid for 4 GB and OS X will use all it wants to use. There is no benefit to having memory remain unused.
Decoding the system memory pie chart above: Green means it is unused. Blue means it has been recently used, and remains available to the same process that used it but since released it. If the process requires its recently released memory again, it remains available to load quickly. For purposes of memory that remains available to use for whatever needs it though, green = blue.
As you can see from the above this system has 16 GB memory so it has essentially unlimited resources available for most reasonable purposes, but it appears as though it is using 4 GB. It's really using only about three quarters of that, and remember OS X is using all it wants to use. This is approximately equal to what you described: it's normal.
Examine the values for page outs and page ins. The total number is not important; it is only the recent activity that matters. If page outs are constantly occurring that means your system is constantly writing memory to disk, which will degrade performance. This will be associated with nearly constant disk activity.
SSDs such as in the new iMacs and MBAs effectively hide this performance degradation.

What's using up all my RAM?

Hey all,
I've got a MBP Late Mid-2011 with 8GB of RAM. In the Activity Monitor, it says I am using up nearly all of my 8GB - but on what? I cannot seem to figure this out, and it is seriously slowing my machine down like crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated...screeshot below:

Launch the Console 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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

How can I find out what is using all our home data?

We have a huge amount of data every month but over the past few months we are cracking thru it like crazy. I want to know what is using it all. We have changed passwords to ensure it wasn't outside this house.

Hello,Do you have mobile devices and tablet/s connected to your modem?If so, turn off "Background Data" in Data settings plus any automatic updates etc etc It could be that someone in your home is using it with high data downloads? If ou have multiple PCs, turn off automatic updates in Windows, to advise but not download.In your portable devices, there are a mutitiude of apps that update without your knowledge. Would need more information from you to make specific suggestions Hope this helps you RegardsProfessor PhoneI'm not a Telstra employee.

What do you use to manage daily\weekly\monthly tasks?

I use Tasks (a clone of Astrid based on the source code) on Android which is synced to Google Tasks. Haven't really ever found anything that's a real replacement to Astrid since Yahoo killed it for no reason.

Hey guys, just wanted to see what you guys use to manage your tasks on a daily\weekly\monthly\quarterly\yearly basis?We are currently using a product called VIP Task Manager Professional and we really love it. Ithttp://www.taskmanagementsoft.com/products/taskmanagerpro/It is pretty inexpensive and customizable. They offer a full-featured 30-day trial version of VIP Task Manager and there is a Standard edition as well.All the tasks have the ability to be assigned to the whole team or an individual member and can have notes, comments and even documentation attached to the task.There is a calendar feature, it has recurring tasks and you can set up different views too - daily - weekly - all tasks.BTW, our Operations team started using it 10 months ago and we have been using it for about 3 months. Operations just passed an audit with flying...

I used up all minutes with a monthly subscription ...

My question is if there is a way to continue calling WITHOUT using skype credit after using up all minutes of subscriptions. Is there any?
Here's my situation:
I purchased a monthly subscription and the service started 3/11/15. I used up all the 400 minutes on 4/2/15. With an intension of starting a NEW subscription that would start 4/2, I first cancelled the existing subscription (that started on 3/11/15 and was scheduled to renew on 4/11/15) and received an email confirmation for that. Then, I got a new subscription (for the same country and for the same duration which is one month as the initial one) and confirmed that it was charged on my paypal account. I also received an email notification for the subscription delivery. It said the transaction date was 4/3/15. So I thought I could start calling on 4/3.
Today is 4/3 and I still can't call. I checked my account, and to my surprise, it has been updated to show that my initial subscription is back!? That is the one that starts on the 11th of the month, and the current remaining minutes shows as 0 (zero.) It tells me that I will be able to start calling on 4/11. It appears that my attempt to cancel one subscription and get a new one (with a new start date) did not work since the initial one appears to keep coming back.
Isn't it possible to cancel an existing subscription completely and sign up a new one with a new start date? I'm trying not to purchase skype credit together with subscriptions.
Thanks
Solved!

1. If I cancel my existing 400 minutes to Japan landline subscription today 4/3, and sign up for a new one for 120 minutes today 4/3, when will I be able to start using the new subscription? Is it alomost "instant?"
2. how will I get the refund for the initial subscription? Will it be refunded automatically, or do I have to go through special procedure for refund request?
3. what time zone am I supposed to use when you say "your minutes will be added on April 12th 2015." What time of what time zone on 4/12/15?
Hello
1. You don't have to cancel your existing 400 minutes Subscription unless you want to. You can have both. Yes - the new one will be activated within 1 to 2 hours of purchase.
2. Subscriptions aren't refundable. If you wish to stop the recurring payments you should cancel the Subscription at your account page. Cancellation will be effective on your current billing period renewal date.
3. One minute after midnight UTC/GMT.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.

Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

How can I see what's using all my hard disk space

The other day I noticed my HD has 3GB left of memory, but my Home folder is only using 67GB. How can I figure out what is hogging all my space and get rid of it? I do use Bittorrent but I highly doubt that would account for the loss of free space.

Start with the freeware Grandperspective. The interface is a bit unusual, but it should help you figure out what's taking up all your space.
And of course make sure you're emptying the Trash.
