I have a MAC OS 10.5.8<br />
<br />
It has a 300 gig hard disk. It shows that I only have 17 gig left. <br />

<br />
Applications using 4gig<br />
Library using 8.8<br />
System Using 4.4<br />
Users using 46.4<br />
<br />
Total approx 65 gig - so what is using all the other space. <br />

Files on a MAC

Programs written for the Apple operating systems are distinguished from software created for other operating systems in that it must be approved by Apple for use on its devices, whether it is from Apple (Final Cut, iWork, Keynote, Logic Pro and GarageBand are popular titles), or is a third party application from Parallels, Nuance, Microsoft and Amazon, among many others.

Apple Software

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
