Ok, now if my MBP falls asleep with the screen open, will it continue to download stuff and transfer files? I dont' think so but i'd like to know!

Also, if it doesn't continue with that then how do i change it so that it wont' go to sleep?

You can change the settings under Energy Saver in System Preferences. As long as the computer doesn't go to sleep then it will continue to do whatever it's doing, but the screen can go to sleep and having things running.

my experience is that no it will not. I assume this also because when the computer sleeps the harddrive shuts off...if the harddirve is off...it cant really..work?

OH! I just remembered I have another quick question!

I got the 80 Gig hard drive for my MBP, but just the installation of all the pre-apps took up nearly 20 gig! is there anything else besides the pre-apps i can uninstall if i don't need them? The pre-apps don't seem too big when i look at them under the applications menu, I dont' know what else woudl be taking up so much room?

Click to expand...


Go to /Library/Application Support/

That is where you will find a lot of files necessary for the Apple applications to run. Garage Band files take up like 2GB, if I ever get to where my 100GB is almost full, that'll be the first thing to go.

Hmm...that seemed to not free anything up. I only have 48 Gig left! My music is only 8-9 gig tops!
