Hello Everyone,
I just joined here, so if I’m posting somewhere where I’m not supposed to please let me know. I have a 2008 Macbook Unibody and I have recently upgraded to Lion. The issue that I’m having is the following. On the desktop where i can see my hard drive and indicates the available space I show the following: 249gb ....580gb free. So basically I have the original hard drive that came with the system which is 250gb but I have 580gb free and it keeps increasing by the minute. I have verified the disk under disk Utility no problems were found, I have repaired the disk's permission everything is ok, but I don’t understand why that is happening, it just doesn’t make sense for the free space to keep increasing by the minute when I’m actually downloading more things....
I'm on 2gb RAM I know it’s not enough that's why I have ordered 8GB ram and should be arriving in the next couple days.(hopefully this will fixing issue, but now sure)
Could it be the insufficient RAM causing this issue?
Could it be that my Hard drive is going bad and needs changing?
I have spoken to someone from Apple tech support and they told me that the hard drive shouldn’t be going bad and most likely could be the RAM causing the issues.
What do you guys think, if anyone could shed some light here I would really appreciate it..!!!
Thank you in advance..!!!
