skippybangkok Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 My SSD was closing to its capacity of 512 GB, sierra has helped me throw a lot of junk out and have moved from 12 GB left to now 142 GB. A few Beta Bugs, but am ok with itHappy camper !Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lammbock Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 My concern with Sierra is that it might delete files I not use for a long time but sure want to keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, that won't happen. If you are thinking of Sierra's iCloud storage of little used files, you can switch that off if you are worried about it.

skippybangkok Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) It does not auto delete, but it helped me find what was worth deleting, i.e. old .dwg files I had floating around i.e.. - I had 15 GB of old iPhone and iPad back ups. Yep, could have deleted it in iTunes, but having all info in one spot really helps Edited August 10, 2016 by skippybangkok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I never cleaned the house properly. was thinking of increasing SSD size, which is not supported by Apple, no need now. p.s. Apple Mac I have had since 2012, and still in top shape and fast. Still get about 6-7 hours out of my battery, which is impressive for a 4 year old computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvend Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Important to note, If you are using time machine with an external drive. Mac OS still stores a time machine backup locally. Not sure if Sierra solves this, but this the correct DYI solution: http://www.howtogeek.com/212207/how-to-free-up-space-used-by-time-machines-local-backups-on-your-mac/ You can also move your iphone, ipad, etc backups to an external drive: http://www.imore.com/how-move-your-iphone-and-ipad-backups-external-drive Edited August 20, 2016 by xvend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcowle Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Does this machine qualify for the update, MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), as I have had no updates showing as yet Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you download it should say whether you have to pay or not, but I think it's free. It was free for me and mine is a 2014 Mac air.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
