[QUOTE="robw114rt, post: 1457243, member: 16211"] Hi, I have a mid-2011 MacBook Air with the 251gb ssd, running 10.8.2 I was getting tight on room with 35gb left and so erased all downloads and a forty gig iPhoto library, then emptied the trash. Finder tells me now that I have 92gigs free which is correct, but Disk Utility and System Utilities insist that I still only have 33gb free. I have reset the PRAM but this situation persists. So although the Finder knows how much room is free, the system won't let me re-import an iPhoto library bigger than 33 gb. This is behaviour I noticed on flashdrives with my previous Air, but I have not found any discussions that deal with it. Can anyone help? Thanks [/QUOTE]
