Why doesn't my Macbook Air have all the 64Gb available ?

I have nothing downloaded directly to my laptop and there is only 45Gb available on my 64Gb Macbook. What are they being used on and how do i get them back ?

To find out, where you storage capacity is being used, you can use the following free applications:
DiskInventory X
OmniDiskSweeper
JDisk Report
GrandPerspective
I would not call that unusual.  You have a recovery, partition, a main partition with all of OS X, all of iLife, sleep file space, swap file space etc...

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Does leaving macbook air on all the time (while plugged in) to download torrents degrade battery life?

    Does leaving macbook air on all the time (while plugged in) to download torrents degrade battery life?

    You have a lot of things going on here...you are keeping the Air plugged in all the time, you should run on the battery periodically to give it some exercise, you are keeping it on all the time which may be keeping it under constant or near constant load, and you are doing all of that to download pirated content, for which you will get no help on here.

  • Why doesn't my MacBook finish connecting to the ISP? It is very slow to load graphics if it does connect.

    Why doesn't my MacBook finish connecting to the ISP? It is very slow to load graphics if it does connect. This happens with ethernet or wifi.

    Timothy ..
    Contanct your ISP for support but keep in mind, if your Mac is running v10.5.8 as your profile suggests, that is a very outdated OS X and you may have issues loading graphics at this point.
    If you are using Safari, empty the Safari cache then quit and relaunch Safari and try loading an image.
    And make sure there's enough free space on the disk to load images.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
    That will open the Get Info panel.
    Check Capacity and Available. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.

  • Why doesn't my MacBook air (bought in Sweden) keyboard look like the ones in USA?

    Hello!

    I have tried to print pictures and documents on Pages from my MacBook Air with my HP deskjet 1000 J110 series printer but it doesn't happen. The printer connects all right and doesn't show a problem whilst I am choosing the format I want my document/picture to be printed but after I click Print, a little icon representing the printer pops up in the bottom but after a second or two, it disapppears leaving me with no printouts. Why is it happening and what are the solutions?

  • Why doesn't my MacBook Air see a connected printer on the wireless network?

    For some reason my MacBook has come up with a case of the stupids.  I have been able to print out to my Canon printer before, but now it doesn't see it.  The printer is on our wireless network and can be seen by our iPad, and iMacs but doesn't appear on the MBAir.  I have reinstalled the drivers, rebooted the system and when I go to the Preferences to look at the Printers/Scanners there is nothing there.  Pressing the + button comes up with a screen with nothing in the default area.  The Air is connected to the wireless network and operates fine with the internet and other operations.
    What can I do to fix this?

    Hello gregfrommi,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with printing in Yosemite. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
    Check the network
    Open Network Diagnostics, then follow the instructions to make sure you’re connected to the network.
    If you’re using a Wi-Fi network and there are multiple Wi-Fi networks available, your Mac and the printer might be on different networks. Open the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar, then try choosing a different network. 
    To see if the printer you want to use is on the same network as your Mac, open Printers & Scanners preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners), then click Add . If the printer doesn’t appear in the list of available printers, your Mac might be on a different network. 
    If you know the printer’s IP address (for example, 192.168.1.100), you can try adding it as an IP printer. For more information, see Add or remove a printer. 
    If your printer is connected to a Time Capsule or AirPort base station, disconnect your printer from the Time Capsule or base station, then reconnect it. 
    Make sure you have the latest software
    Make sure you have the correct version of your printer’s software (also called its printer driver).
    If you’re using a printer that another user is sharing, make sure you’re both using the same version of the printer software. To find out which version you’re using, open Printers & Scanners preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners). Select the printer in Printers & Scanners preferences, click Options & Supplies, then click General. Note the driver version. 
    If you’re using a network printer or a printer attached to your Mac, make sure you have the latest version of the software for the printer. If you still have problems, try different printer software for your printer. 
    If you’re using an AirPrint-enabled printer, you can check with the manufacturer to see if there’s a firmware update for your printer model. 
    Replace a corrupted printer queue window
    If none of the previous solutions work, the printer’s queue may be corrupted. Open Printers & Scanners preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences > Printer & Scanner preferences), then delete and set up your printer again. 
    If you still can’t print, reset the printing system. 
    Print documents
    Reset the printing system

  • Why doesn't my MacBook Pro have this MacBook feature????

    I noticed that on my new black MacBook, under the System Preferences>Trackpad menu in system prefs, there is the option to "Use two fingers" on trackpad to simulate a double-click. This is brilliant from Apple, but Why doesn't my 2.0Ghz MacBook Pro have this option in the Trackpad preferences??
    My MacBook was signficantly cheaper than my MacBook pro. I wonder if we can expect this feature to be active on our MacBook Pros as well as the MacBooks. Seems like a dumb thing to leave off the high end laptop...
    Please Apple, Please activate the Two Button trackpad click on our macbooks via Software Update.

    I'm not sure if this will make you feel better or worse, but check out my thread about the issue here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=488829&tstart=0
    To sum it up: I was in the Apple store a few days ago and I played with a 15" MBP that HAD the right-click w/ 2 fingers feature, which I thought was strange since people on here said it didn't exist on the 15" ones. Apparently, the machines in the store (or at least some of them) are running a newer build of OS X, either a newer 10.4.6 than we have access to, or a pre-release developer version of 10.4.7. Regardless, it seems 10.4.7 will add this feature, as was mentioned by a developer in that thread above who has the pre-release version of it and confirmed that his 15" now has that feature.
    So:
    Good news - it will work eventually, when they release 10.4.7.
    Bad news - you can't get it right now unless you're an ADC member.

    You may have a defective connection, on a new machine take it back for return/exchange or take it to your local Apple Store or AASP for repair. Also you can contact AppleCare, you have 90 days of free telephone service. They're open M-Saturday so you may need to wait until tomorrow morning.

  • Why doesn't my macbook air recognise .3gp files?

    A friend gave me a burned disk with iphone video files in .3gp format that the external disk drive for my Macbook Air doesn't seem to recognise - it simply spits the disk out. I put the disk into my PC and it reads it - shows the icons for the files (but can't open them because it doesn't have the right software.). What software do I need to read these files on the MAcbook Air?

    I found a list but have not used them nor do I know anything bout them: http://en.softonic.com/s/3gp-player:mac.  Use common sense when deciding which one to download, and if you chose to download one, do so at your own risk.

  • When I read my roadrunner mail on my iMac, why doesn't my Macbook Air know I read it?

    I recently purchased a Macbook Air and I have an iMac desktop, both running Mavericks.  How can I get my Macbook Air to realize that I've already read my e-mails on the desktop?

    Is Roadrunner a POP email server? You require an iMap server for this function to work, a mail server such as iCloud and Gmail among others.
    Check with Roadrunner if iMap is available.
