    I have had the 5GB free storage forever. I have an iPhone X, Macbook Pro, and an iMac. I only have ever used the icloud for what I thought was being used to backup and hold my contact list. That's all I really care about. Photos...I upload manually to computer if I really need to. Right now, its...

    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...

    "System" takes up around 200G

    The "system" part (About this Mac|Storage) takes up around 200G out of 500G of my Macbook Pro (2014 version). But I couldn't locate the files that occupy such large space. I understand that sometimes media files in iTune will be accounted as System. However I don't think this is the problem...

    HomeCloud: a vision for an Apple-branded NAS

    Between the iPhone, the Mac or the iPad, Apple has some killer products. However, there is another one that could - in my opinion - rule them all and create new opportunities for the soon-to-be Trillion-Dollar company. One that would complement all those iDevices in a personal and safe way. More...

    Tips on optimising for 256 GB storage

    Prefix: I've been a Mac user for 10 years now, even sold the machines. I am aware of how external HDs and cloud storage work. I'm in the market for buying a new (second hand) MacBook Pro, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to get used to only 256 GB of storage space on my machine. Apple's...

    4+ Bay 2.5" Drive Enclosures?

    So it's that time again when I'm reevaluating my storage setup, but unfortunately I seem to be in quite a niche area; I need high capacity, directly attached storage, but would like it to be as compact as possible. Currently I have two external, bus-powered 2tb USB 3 drives for a 4tb main...

    Best replacement for a slow hard drive?

    My iBook G4 and PowerBook G4 are pretty slow, even with the RAM maxed out, and leopard tuning tricks. I'm thinking that it's probably the ancient hard drives, they both have the stock hard drives which IIRC are 4200 RPM, at least in the iBook. My level of trust in 14 year old drives isn't very...

    Storage Question

    Hi all. So I had just recently bought the iPad Pro 10.5 inch, 512gb. Was just wondering a guesstimate on how many books I could put on. I saw a post a while ago about a 32gb iPod with maybe 600-1000 books. I have close to 467gb left. Almost all my music, but a lot in the cloud. I'm going to be...
