    external hard drive not showing all space available

    I have an 8TB external drive, partitioned into two volumes, a 7TB volume and a 1 TB volume. I use the 7TB for CCC backups as well as other things, and the 1TB volume for Time Machine backups. The 7TB was down to 254GB of space available, so I trashed over 3TB of unneeded CCC files (SafeyNet...

    Recommended Space for Big Sur for this Need

    Hi Mac friends. I'd like to fresh install Big Sur as a back macOS (it'll be in the same Container as another Volume on the same NVME disk) because it works with my Wacom Intuos 4 and then just install one app called Krita for digital painting. It's a volume, a backup macOS boot volume...

    I compressed files in iCloud, now my phone has 4gb of Files that were never on my device

    I have put files and such in iCloud Drive but never tried to retrieve them, so I try to and find out you can only download file by file and not even entire folders(wtf). So my work around was to compress the files making it one big file which I could download multiple files on my computer. I...

    Other Hidden gems in the iPhone 14 reveal

    Not sure if any of you noticed, but in the opening presentation of the iPhone 14, there was a short clip of a game being showed with a girl floating in the air with a gun. That game I discovered is called Air Twister and is made none other than by the legendary Yu Suzuki of Sega's Shenmue fame...

    iCloud I disabled Messages in iCloud this morning. Why does it still take up 16 GB of iCloud space?

    After having had Messages in iCloud enabled since it was first made possible, I finally decided to switch it off today to save some space. However it still says Messages take up 16 GB of my iCloud storage. How come?

    iPhone 13 Pro Max Iphone 13 pro max - Default space is low after transfer

    Checked out my XS storage before ordering a new 13 pro Max. On the XS, I was using 64.7GB out of 256. That made the choice easy. Well, after transferring data over to the 13, the 13 is reporting 116.6GB out of 256. I'm unhappy about that... no way would I have chosen the 256 if I knew I'd be...

    Finder, file quicklook just to current space

    User defined up to 7 desktop spaces (virtual desktops) and uses those. How to force Finder's file quicklook (select a file in Finder then hit keyboard space bar) to open just on current space? Currently quicklook for any supported type of files opens on all spaces which is highly annoying. Did...

    How to find those huge videos that take lots of space on the iPhone?

    I remember that not so long ago we had an option under Settings/General/iPhone Storage called "Review Personal Videos" to effectively find those large video files sorted by size. It gave a very easy way to delete them all from one place. If you try to do this from inside the Photos app you don't...

    iPhone Camera roll removing photos - LOW SPACE

    Well, I've been running low space for a long time and this led to a sudden disappearing of old photos (actually 5000 of them - the oldest ones) in camera roll. I don't know how how that worked - maybe iOS tried to free up some space by removing the thumbnails (without asking me???). The main...

    Deleting huge files, but not freeing up space!?

    I moved to High Sierra a few months ago, and I was noticing some weird behaviour with what my storage space was showing. I have a 1tb SSD in my MacBook Pro. I only have a few hundred GB of my own files. I just deleted about 200gb of files from my desktop, and there is no change in free space...

    Is the SD slot reliable?

    Hey I am getting a new Macbook Air 13" and want to know if the SD slot would be reliable to use as a second source of "storage". 1. Is it safe to store "software related" stuff on the card? 2. Will it be okay to store music on it, that would be used in conjunction with the internal HD through...

    High Sierra System Storage taking 80 Gigabytes of space

    Hey, I'm new here. My system storage is taking up 80 Gigs of space for some reason. I don't think it's normal for it to take so much space. My applications and Documents are 12 Gigs and 10 Gigs. I have heard time machine creates stamps which takes up space. So I tried inputting sudo...
