Problem with hard disk space

I don't know what the problem of my macbook pro mid 2010. When I erased a program or files, my hard disk spaces become full but when I installed program or download files my hard disk space diminish. My mac running OS X Maverick 10.9.2.

Pranyana,
do you regularly make Time Machine backups? If so, then the apparent discrepancy could be explained by the behind-the-scenes creation and deletion of local Time Machine snapshots.

Hi,
If this message is coming up in a black screen.
Then the harddrive in the system is about to go bad or already bad.
If you are able to boot to windows, FIRST BACKUP DATA.
Also run a startup test by tapping F2 as soon as you power on the system.
The smart test is a BIOS feature in most of the computer which is designed to keep cust informed if the HDD is about to go bad. But their are instances where the SMART will only let you know that the HDD is bad only when the HDD has bad.

Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

I'm having problem with hard disk problem. I recently purchased HP pavilion G series notebook.

There is error displaying that there is a problem with hard disk please back up your data and contact manfature. I purchased these recently in 2011 december in india. Please help me what to do.

The error usually means what it says. Back up your data to a thumb drive or something before it crashes and call HP Support for a hard drive replacement.

what file are included in this voice??
how i can fix it??
there was some problem with my hardware?
thanks a lot

Welcome to the discussions,
if you connect your ipod to itunes and look at the colored info bar at the bottom of the window, does it show different colors or just one orange "other" part? As you got errors while syncing, there might be corrupt data files on your ipod filling it up. Try to restore again to get rid of the great orange part. After that the "other" section should be reduced to max. of 500MB or less.

Problems With "hard disk not exist" HP 2000 Notebook PC

one day i was listening to itunes on my computer and it crashed, the screen went blue and wipped out my entire hard drive. Everytime i turn it on the screen goes black and the words "Boot Drive error" "Hard disk not Exist" pops up, i press F2 For "System Diagnostics" and everythings fine exept on the "hard Disk" test it says "error, hard disk not exist" and when i press F11 at the begging it says System recovery, but nothing happens. My computer was not sent with a recovery disk and i cannot access it, is there any way to fix this problem or create a recovery disk for my computer?
Thanks
-Drew

Sounds as if your hard drive has failed,not uncommon.If you are still within warranty HP will send a new hdd, if not It can be replaced with a retail SATA laptop hdd. Just take in in with you to the store and ask for suitable replacement.
If you did not burn your Recovery set you can order from HP for a small fee to reinstall Windows on the new hdd.>>Contact HP

Problem With Low Disk Space - Message - Email and ...

Hi all,
I have a N97 and i noticed that when i have around 200 stored messages in my sent and my received in box then i get the e-mail disconnecting and saying to me that it's been disconnected due to low disk space.
So i tried changing the location of the folders for the e-mails and then i got a warning about the folders not being correct and had to restore them to the original settings.
I'm sure this is also related but some one tried to send me a small video via blue tooth and it told me that the memory was full but for the life of me i can't seem to change where a blue tooth message would go too.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
i know i may have 2 separate issues here but it's all the same low disk space or out of disk space etc etc
it would seem that it's a problem so how can i go about fixng it, it's poor...
The first offering is Nokia's new 'Messaging' client. If you really, really have been looking forward to this then by all means install it, but beware that it will, between application and messagebase, use up a lot of disk C: on its own. And you can't switch the messagebase to 'mass memory', because that gets locked out when you connect your N97 up to your PC or Mac, switching Nokia Messaging back to C:. As a long time Gmail user, I still find it easier to use either the 'old' S60 Messaging application (in IMAP4 mode) or just use the standalone Gmail (Java-based) application, which has the benefit of speed and of an utterly minimal footprint in daily use.
Also offered via 'Sw update' is Ovi Maps 3.1, which also insists on ensconcing itself on C:. If version 2.0 is working well for you then there really isn't a compelling reason to update, to be honest. Or at least not one that's compelling enough to warrant signing over at least 7MB of C: to it. If version 2 isn't working for you, you still shouldn't install v3.1, as offered, but go for the very latest v3.3, from the Nokia Beta Labs Maps page. It's faster and slicker and at least you'll be getting extra functionality for your lost Megabytes, including less troublesome GPS performance. See below for more on the GPS.
Next is Ovi Contacts, a beta-quality social integration system that's yet to take off in any meaningful way. Again, just avoided unless you really, really want to get involved. You don't need to lose the vital Megabytes.
Then there's the N-Gage games client, another C: biggie, seemingly swallowing up 6MB or so in a real world installation - if, like me, you're rather underwhelmed by N-Gage titles (in fact, underwhelmed by gaming on Symbian in general, but that's another rant for another day), then just say no and, again, give your internal disk a break.
The final optional 'Sw update' was Quickoffice 6, bringing compatibility with Office 2007 documents. This also takes up the best part of 10MB on C:, so unless you get a lot of Docx or Xlsx files by email then I'd strongly suggest holding fire on this update - you'll probably get it anyway in the v20 firmware in a few months time.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, don't know wether you've done this, but go into messaging/options/settings/other/memory in use/set as E:mass memory. If this causes a problem with email, simply delete mailbox and re-install it, it only takes a couple of minutes. One other thing , if you want to save any txt messages, sync with ovi first.Also to get C memory back delete all messages sent , recieved, reports etc before selecting Memory in use as E. Also go to web browser and clear privacy data regularly. One other thing to note is that usually when connected to computer via usb, messaging memory will revert to C, and you won't be able to see any messages , so reset to E again and they are all there. Best taskmanager from Ovi store is also a real help with memory on phone.
Hope this helps, and my appologies for the somewhat eratic layout nof the advice. Should have mentioned clearing messages from C before using E !
Good Luck

Problem with Hard Disk after getting a replacement for a RAM Problem

Ok, so I bought a 17" Macbook pro about a week ago from Apple, then last night it crashed during some relatively processor intensive work and wouldn't boot again. I took it in to the apple store today, they ran diagnositics and it turned out it was a RAM issue, so, very kindly, they gave me a whole new machine with new RAM.
I didn't have time to wait in store for them to transfer my data, so the genius offered to give me the hard disk from my old machine so i could take it away and do the transfer myself (because i live in a different city) using a USB Hard Disk Caddy. I took him up on the offer, and bought the whole lot home with me.
I've just put the drive in an appropriate hard disk caddy and attached it to my machine, but I'm getting an error "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer".
Allegedly the genius chap had already started the transfer when i asked him to leave it for me to do, so i guess he mustn't have had any problems with accessing it, but there's no trace on the new machine that he had been doing anything.
I guess my question is
A) is the disk screwed
and
B) Did it happen from the initial problem, in the apple store or is it another issue?

This could be caused by a number of different reasons. Is it possible for you to call up Apple and speak with the person whom was helping you?

Problems with hard disk, but it won't repair

Hi,
My MacBook Pro has gradually become slow, and it crashes occasionally, especially when multitasking. I verified my hard disk with the Disk Utility, and it told me the following:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Incorrect block count for file Temp File
(It should be 917 instead of 0)
Incorrect number of thread records
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Volume Bit Map needs minor repair
Checking volume information.
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
However, in a pop-up it then says the following:
First Aid failed
Disk Utility stopped verifying "Macintosh HD" because the following error was encountered:
The underlying task reported failure on exit.
Any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? I find it a bit disconcerting that my Mac crashes. It's not supposed to do that!

In order to repair a startup volume you must boot from another disk. Try this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Problem with hard disk

With diagnostic test of hard disk, error 305, but my question if i can to take and remove all musics and pictures and videos from hard disk at another pc ?

Maybe, probably, hard to tell until you try. You need a usb to SATA adapter like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Patuoxun-Converter-Adapter-Cable-Drive/dp/B008ASF5MC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=14...
The fact that the drive is still visible to the system is a good sign so it is likely to still spin up when connected externally to another computer.

Problem with free disk space

Hi. I have a problem on the 256Gb SSD of my MBP retina.
Before deleting a 40Gb video folder i had 80gb free disk space.
After the delete if i check the disk info from the icon on the desktop i have 120gb but checking in the disk utility say i stll have 80gb free. Why?
Thanks in advance

TM will do that on any laptop if it is not tethered to a Time Machine drive. It then deletes the files (local snapshots) later - see some info here:

Hi, The Failure ID refers to Hard Disk 1 Quick Test Failure, where you have to replace the Hard disk drive to get the unit working. Once the Hard disk drive is replaced you can reinstall the Operating system using recovery disk.

Problem with hard disk and growing used space.

Hi.
I'm watching Activity Monitor and I noticed a strange thing.
Well, the used space is growing without installing or doing anything. I didn't install anything since I clean-installed Lion.
I have turned on the computer just 3 minutes ago and Writed data is in 220 MB. If I wait half an hour it grows to 500 or 600 MB.
The problem is that it is doing this every time that I turn on the iMac.
What is happening here?
Thank you.

Any ideas about that?

The problem with scratch disk space.

I have been using Priemere products for over ten years now and have run into a problem recently using Premiere Pro that surprised me. I was editting a project last week that required me to reuse a lengthy clip several times. I would set a different in/out point with each use because the clip was not broken up into separate pieces when it was captured. This is the first time that I have had to do this with such a long clip so I never encountered this problem before. After saving a considerable amount of different versions of the same clip, I received a notice that the hard drive that I was saving the project in was full.
When I checked the project file I found that with each use of the long clip, Premiere would save the entire clip under the preview files sub-folder. This meant that in no time at all I had compiled a total of 35 gig of video files from a single 1.2 gig original. I determined after the fact that I could have redefined a different in/out point on the same original clip without having to reinsert it each time. This would have resulted in a much smaller preview file size.
I have two questions. First, is there some way for me to easily back out all of the duplicate clips from the project window of Premiere so that the preview sub-folder size decreases? Second, will Premiere always duplicate every clip that I select for the timeline in the scratch disk file? This seems like a tremendous waste of space even though it is suppose to improve realtime preview. I always thought that the project file just recorded the locations of the clips and when and where to use them. Maybe I have been wrong all of these years or maybe Adobe Premiere has become more demanding over the years. Either way, some clarification on these points would be greatly appreciated.

Consider a single clip that may contain 45 minutes of video. I wanted to use numerous segments from within that large clip in my video. So, I imported the same clip into the project window of Premiere for each segment that I wan't to use. Each time I imported the file I would set a different in/out point on it and drag that to my Timeline. After about the 10th import, Windows informed me that I had exceeded the storage capacity of the hard drive that my scratch disk was on. I have done numerous videos with both static and video images in the past and have never run into this problem. That was the nature of my inquiry.
