[QUOTE="Mr.Mag00, post: 1719279, member: 378625"] I was given a Macbook Air. I'm a Windows person, and don't know what to do about this. I'm visually impaired, and I need this laptop to help me use my desktop PC. This morning when I turned the Macbook Air on, a message popped up for a few seconds. I donno if I was able to read all of it because it disappeared too quickly... but what I read, said, Your startup disk is almost full. My wife used the Macbook Air to transfer data from an old iPad to a new iPad. Could it be that she left a lot of extra data in the Macbook? I know very little about the workings of a Mac! And the screen is so small, it makes it very hard for me to use this machine... but it's all I have. :) I Googled the message I got, and it said I had to delete some files! I only have text files on this computer so I'm thinking there might be pictures put there by my wife. What should I do? How do I view the hard disk to see how much space is still available? Any help with this will be very much appreciated. :) [/QUOTE]
