I can't remember what's causing the 20gb. Most likely the language pack and the printer drivers. You can search on the Apple forum (apple.com) to find the answer.

Then in the Applications folder. You can most probably drag all the stuff you'll not use into the Trash can. E.g. I deleted all my games and GarangeBand

Hey, how do you make the icons in the dock pop-up when you slide your cursor over it? Thanks!!!

Btw, any photo viewing software to introduce? Coz Preview really sucks to the core big time.

SexyChin SG

Explain why it sucks.

Preview has been working well for me.

By the way, the icons "pop-up" can be enabled at the system preferences.

Go to system preferences, then the dock, then enable magnification.

^tamago^ SG

on the top-left, click on the apple icon, then Dock, then Turn Magnification On.

to control how much it magnifies, go to System Preferences -> Dock -> Magnification slider.

SpecOps87 SG

Ok, thanks for the help with the "pop-up" effect. Well, Preview kinda sucks cuz it does not allow me to like in Windows, change the picture I'm viewing easily by pressing on the cursor keys. Btw, I just transferred some of my pictures from my Thinkpad over, wow...the pictures seem to be in greater detail. May I ask,what do you guys use to play your MP3s on the Mac OS? iTunes or others? As I'm afraid that iTunes might have licensing issues,thanks in advance

SexyChin SG

I use iTunes only for music.

What sort of licencing issues are you talking about?
