Welcome to Apple Support Communities
All the storage in "Backups" is taken up by local snapshots, which are made automatically in all MacBooks, MacBooks Pro and MacBooks Air with OS X Lion or newer and Time Machine turned on.
See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html I recommend you to leave them there, because they will be removed automatically. However, if you want, you can disable or remove them manually if you want, even if there's no reason to do this. Have a look at the link above for more information

  • I installed a game, where can i find the files and maps? where does iMac store this data?

    I installed a game,Now I need to add some files however, I cannot find where iMac stores it.. where can i find the files and maps? where does iMac store this data?
    thx alot
    erik

    Depends on game, i would look first on the game file itself, right click (or ctrl click) the game file you installed (Applications?) and select show package contents, its usually a application bundle, as in basicly a folder where the application and the required files and subfolders are.

  • Where can I find the file where the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored?

    In our company we are using DHCP to assign static ip addresses to our clients.
    Now we are forced to change the ip address range. To prevent changing each allocation
    of mac-address to ip-address manually with the admin tool i would like to change the allocation
    in the file where the allocations are saved. The reason ist that i just have to use copy & paste for all
    the allocations.
    So how is the file named and where can I find the file where
    the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored? Is it just an ASCII file?
    Must i note anything when i change the file manually?

    From man bootpd:
    BOOTP/DHCP STATIC BINDINGS
         Static IP address to ethernet address bindings are stored in the /etc/bootptab file and in Open Directory.  Bindings specified in the /etc/bootptab file take precedence over those in Open Directory.
         See bootptab(5) for more information about the /etc/bootptab file.
         For Open Directory, bootpd looks at the /Computers records for the following properties:
    /etc/bootptab is a standard text file, while the records in Open Directory can be manipulated either through the command line, or via Workgroup Manager.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading?

    Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading? I have limited download (525 MBs/day) because of Hughsnet and I need to know each applications total size before I download.

    You can go to the trial page to get an estimated size.  As the Creative Cloud products change over time though this may become less accurate.
    If you are on a limited bandwidth account then you may want to consider purchasing a perpetual copy of Creative Suite 6 as opposed to subscribing to the Creative Cloud.

  • Where can i find the file manager of yendo?

    where can i find the file manager in yendo phone(sony ericsson)

    I do not think there is a default file manager in the Yendo.
    I think you have to connect your phone via the USB cable to the PC in Mass Storage Mode and use the PC file manager.

    because my macbook went to sleep, my hard disk is full. What happened? Where can I find the file i need to erase

    It's hard to tell -- just going to sleep shouldn't have caused a problem.  Something else may be going on.

  • HT1766 When Apple does a backup of my iPhone 5 on my computer, where can I find the files?

    I have just done a computer backup of my iPhone 5. The backup did not indicate where on my computer the backup files are stored. Where can I find the location of the backup files for iPhone 5 on my computer?

    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and clickOK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

  • Since downloading firefoz 4, everytime I make a browser search I get a second page with :"Firefox can't find the file at jar:file://how can I solve the problem. Kindly reply to :ramses1@videotron.ca

    Question
    firefox 4, when I make a browser search I get a second page:"Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///D:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/browser/content/browser/<url></url>", how can I solve the problem.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Where can I find the files when I "Created iPod version"?

    I tried getting some of my video podcasts onto my iPod by using the "Create iPod version" but only audio plays. Where can I find these files so I can delete them and get them off my iPod?

    Select the movie in the iTunes Window (you should see it in Library > Movies) and ctrl-click or right-click it. Then select "Show in Finder" and you will see the File.
    Usually it should be located at
    Users > your home >Music >iTunes >iTunes Music > Movies >your movie name(iPhone & iPod).m4v
    if your library is managed by iTunes and located at the default place.
    But don't delete the movie in the Finder, delete from iTunes, otherwise you will be left with an inconsistent library.

  • Where can I find the files for my custom amp presets?

    I've gone through and created a tonne of custom amp presets in Garageband that I would like to manually backup. Does anyone know where these files are kept by Garageband?
    I have located the presets that come with Garageband in Library / Application Support / GarageBand / Instrument Library / Track Settings / Real / Guitar Track
    I need to find where all my tweaked presets are saved!
    Many thanks in advance,
    Ben

    Ben,
    your own Track Settings are kept in your User Library in your Home Folder:
    /Users/your user name/Library/Application Support/GarageBand
    If you are using MacOS X 10.7 or later, your user library is hidden; probably that is why you did not find the files.
    To reveal your user library in the Finder use the Finder's "Go" menu: Click "Go" in the main Finder menu bar, then hold down the "Alt/Options" key ⌥, until "Library" appears in the drop-down menu. Click "Library" to reveal it in the Finder and select the "Applications Support" folder, then the "GarageBand" folder. This will contain all your custom Instruments.
    Regards
    Léonie

    where can i find my data/backup file on my account? thanks

    The restore from backup process is all or nothing, & if you've been told NOT to restore from backup, there is no supported way to "selectively" restore an iPhone backup. You can use third-party software to "extract" data from your backup:
