I bought a macbook air 2012 used in around 2016, didn't like it, was using acer heavy and large 15.6 windows notebook until I moved into a smaller space and found the benefits of the tiny computer as well as got used to and started to prefer macOS, but I think it updated to Catalina at the time it became my main laptop. It’s recommended that you keep at least 15-20% of your Mac’s memory free to keep it running smoothly. Optimizing storage is an efficient way to do this. But there are also several other steps you can take to free up space on MacBook Air, Pro, or any other macOS device. MacOS updates require enough storage to install update packages, and usually the installer will check for available storage before the installation begins. But this time, it seems that the Catalina update installation did not check the available storage space of the Mac disk before the installation.

Tested on production 1.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and pre-release macOS Big Sur. Tested with pre-release Safari 14.0.1 and Chrome v85.0.4183.121. Performance will vary based on usage, system configuration, network connection. Make sure you have enough space to hold all backups If you have a big capacity hard drive but small system drive, find a logic drive other than the system installed, and make sure the partition has enough space to hold all the existing backups which were already created by iTunes. They usually locate in.

One of my readers recently wrote me concerning an iPad error message. She received it while trying to install a new app on her iPad. She was sure she had enough room left to install the app. But she told me the message “says it can’t download because there isn’t enough room.”

The error message was actually about not enough “free space” to install the app. An app install generally requires twice the size of the app in free space on your iPad. The download uses a temp file for the installer, so the space needed can be much more than the size of the app. This is especially true of large app files such as complex games and detailed map programs.

By the way, you may have noticed that many popular apps have increased dramatically in size during the last year. This is largely because of the Retina Display on newer models of the iPad. It takes many more pixels to generate those sharp graphics on the iPad screen. Screens on these new models have four times as many pixels as older models, so apps contain new images that require more space. These high quality images generate larger files in terms of megabytes.
