8.1.3 storage keeps filling up

I had about 2GB free prior to updating to 8.1.3 yesterday. After upgrading yesterday, today i got a message I had 265k left and freed up 1.5GB. An our later I got the same message and cleared up another 1GB, only to get the same message an hour later. What is going on? I didn't download anything.

I downloaded 8.1.3 as well - did not materially change any thing
Two options for you to consider:
1. Reset your phone
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
2. Connect your phone to iTunes and under summary - there is a colored bar at the bottom of the page with the groups of what is taking up space
Can you post a picture or a summation of what that says?
Thanks

Why does my storage keep getting filled after deleting everything?

my storage keeps getting filled after I delete most of my apps, photo, etc. Im pretty sure it had something to do with the new update because it was fine before. please help its really bugging me and I cant even go on some of my apps because I don't have enough storage

While it's normal for your charger to feel hot due to its function, sometimes there's too much heat.
If your charger becomes so hot that you cannot touch it or you note a strange smell, your charger is malfunctioning and should be replaced.
A charger that malfunctions could damage the iPad battery, which also may need a replacement.

Startup disk is full and HD keeps filling up

I have not been installing or saving new material on my computer and the storage space on my HD keeps filling up. It was quite fulll so I took of 20 GB of files, and since then, that space I freed up is now gone. Is there a way to tell what is taking up this space?

First, reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

You got it with that same apple id thing. You can use different apple id's, but then they will not sync. Apple does allow as many free apple id's as you want, but they are in the business to make money.

My iMac's hard drive keeps filling up.

My iMac's hard drive keeps filling up. It has 320GB but only 1.37GB free! Other than Photos (3.43GB) and Songs (12.34GB), I have hardly anything installed on it. I recently got the message "Disc almost full...". Everytime I delete something (and I've delete a lot of things now) the free space relentlessly depletes. I have tried searching for files or programs that might be taking up a lot of space but can't find anything unusual or big enough to make a difference. I saw another comment from someone saying it was Mail failed downloads or something like that and suggested changing Finder preferences to "Other" to find the hidden files. But after doing this, I cannot find anything that looks bad. Look at the screenshot below, which shows what's taking up the disc space. How can the "Other" possibly be taking up 297.71GB when there's hardly anything on my mac that's bigger than 1GB!?!? Please help....

Do you own and backup any iDevices?
Anything else you have on this drive?
Any other places you store personal data?
You have any images or photos anywhere else?
You have a lot of documents?
Have you emptied OS X Trash icon recently.
iPhoto has its own trash the needs emptying.
Have you emptied the trash in Apple's Mail app?
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon and empty the Trash.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects?
Good Luck!

Why does the error console continuosly keep filling up ? in yellow, pink & blue messages ??

Ok, first I am using an older, slower Mac G4 400 Mhz, PCI, "YIKES" model machine. ..... The problem is that after browsing mail for 1/2 hr., Fire Fox slows down a lot. Most likely related to my machine speed. I understand that and this machine is a backup computer. I can cure the speed problem by closing FF, and relaunching it, and speed is fine for another 1/2 hr. or more. Then repeat the close and restart for speed reset as needed. This seems to clear a backlog of info. slowing down the CPU.
THE REAL QUESTION IS; Why does the ERROR CONSOLE keep filling up with messages in pink, yellow and blue, warnings, errors, and (blue) website not supported messages ??.
The message copy & pasted in the trouble shooting info. box is the first one to show up immediately after "clearing error console" window (5 seconds later), it will be filling up as I type now. and I don't know squat about coding or deep workings of computers, I am to old to start learning now, but it just seems to me that the "ERROR console" should not be filling up with every mouse click I make while browsing mail & websites I use everyday, that are working just fine as far as I can tell.
I have watched the error console fill up as I brows, usually 1 mouse click can produce 4 to 8 lines in the error console, clearing it out doesn't seem to affect the speed problem at all, so is unrelated to speed (??) I think.
But the Question is ??? why does the ERROR CONSOLE keep filling up with all these messages when FF seems to be working fine ????????
There are now 15 (PINK) separate lines of the same message in the console window, just while typing this out. 0
Reply to ;<[email protected]> ..... I am really curious about this and await an answer. Thank You. wayne

Hello, took me awhile to find this out, but...
Get the combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reapply the Combo Update.
Repair Permissions afterwords, reboot.

My hardrive keeping filling up with "other" files. How do I delete them and keep them from building back up?

I am new to Apple/MacBook this year, so far I am just plain frustrated. My harddrive keeps filling up with "other" files and I dete them and they always come back from using apple mail. I have used tech support and filters but it still happens over and over. Any help here? I would SO appreciate it!

Boot in safe mode by shutting down, then restarting and holding down the shift key, keeping it down until you see the Apple logo on the display. Safe mode is slow to boot and run.
While in safe mode, use a tool such as the one linked below to explore your volume and find out what's taking up a lot of space:
OmniDiskSweeper - Products - The Omni Group
Don't launch any other applications. After completing this test, and deleting some files, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.)

Why XI keeps filling disk space

Hi guru,
I have installed XI 7.0 and upgrade to SP11. just after the successfully upgrade to SP11, I check the disk and there is 8G space. 2 monthes passed, now only 200M space left. I then deactviate all adapter and no message is processing by XI, but XI still keeps filling disk space, I want to know why.
besides, could you tell me normally what components are filling disk space. AE? IS? SLD?.....

Hi, Chen
Well, usually J2EE stack's logs have maximum size limit. So, it
is not the reason.
Regarding ABAP stack, for some reason, ABAP's dev traces grows
over GB sometimes.
So, could you check under the folder /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS00/work and
trace files?
Good Luck

My new macbook air storage keep going down without doing anything.

so, i got a new macbook air 11 inch, 120 gb. i set it all up and stuff and when i check my storage i only got 99 and stuff left. how can that be? i didn't download anything, all i did was set it up. I download stuff and delete it so my storage keeps going up and down. Then one day, i have to restore my cousin's iPad for her using my macbook which has 99 something gb, then after that's done, the storage goes down to 93 gb. Seriously, i didn't do anything. please explain to me if the stuff i do takes storage or not becauseI have to save storage for school works. Thank you for reading

Move your cursor up to the Apple menu and select About this Mac then select Storage from the options at the top of the dialog box that opens. This Spotlight view will show you how much of the drive is being used to store Applications, Files, Music, etc. Other is something of a catchall group so it doesn't really help.
One explanation for the "missing" space is Backups. If you are using TimeMachine the computer will make backups to the internal drive whenever it isn't connected to the TimeMachine drive. This 'missing' space really isn't missing because if you really need it the computer will automatically delete the internal backups to free it up for you.
Another explanation are cache files and system logs. Your programs and the operating system need to keep temporary files and they aren't always immediately deleted. Your browser(s) also create cache files which makes your internet surfing experience much faster for sites you frequently visit. These caches can be quite large.
To delete/trim system and application caches you can restart your computer while holding the shift key. This is a safe boot and among other things it will delete/trim caches. Reboot normally once you get to the Finder. Also, remember to empty the trash can - putting stuff in the trash doesn't immediately delete it. If you use iPhoto you must manually delete its trash too.

Time machine is turned off but my startup disk keeps filling up with backup files on a hidden volume.

My Time Machine is turned off but my system startup drive keeps filling up with backup files in a hidden volume. How can I stop this? When Time Machine was turned on, the destination was set to an external drive. I was completely confused about what was happening until I used Houdini to reveal the hidden volume. I have no idea how it got created or why it keeps filling up with no backup application running to my knowledge. Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Download this, or a similar tool if you prefer:
OmniDiskSweeper - Products - The Omni Group
Boot in safe mode. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, possibly including wireless networking.
Does your boot volume continue to fill up? Use the above tool to explore the volume and find out where the space is going.

I am desperate, adds keep filling the screen

It does not matter which tab I am on, adds keep filling up the screen. I have trtied a few malware scans but none helped to fix my problem. I don't really want to have to un-install firefox and re-install. Can you please help me?
wizzardlock

It's probably an extension. Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or if obviously bad, remove).
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that shut down the ads?
Also recommended:
(1) Visit the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group by date. Then look for any recent unrecognized programs that may have snuck in as part of a bundle. Remove everything you do not know to be useful and trustworthy.
(2) Our support article lists some other scanner/cleaner tools that you may find helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

C: drive keeps filling up due to Mozilla Crash Reports

Hello,
Recently my C: Drive keeps filling up due to tremendous amounts of Crash Reports being generated by Mozilla. Within a couple of hours use I am filling up 2-3Gb of space.
I identified that the culprits are '*.dmp' files located in c:\Documents and Settings\Myusername\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\pending.
I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox but the issue is still there. I never had this problem before but noticed that my C: Drive started to experience this problem when I added 'Ghostery' and 'Script Blocker' as Add-on's.
I have disabled the Script Blocker but this has not helped either. Can someone please advise as to why Firefox has started to create thousands of dump files all of a sudden?
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for getting back to me. There are literally thousands of crash reports being logged; several dozen every minute it seems.
I can clear them but they just keep coming back as I stated everytime I use Mozilla. Here is an extract from one of the reports:

It's obvious that there is an Issue with the Google Talk application; not sure if the AntiVirus package I have installed in causing problems as well.

The SSD on my MacBook Pro gen 1 keeps filling up for no reason.

I've been having a problem ever since I installed Lion where my MBP gen 1 SSD keeps filling up for no reason, then I get the "startup disk full" error and my programs freeze. I've disabled local Time Machine backups and cleaned out the SSD as much as I could. I've found the only way to free the space on the SSD is to repair the disk using disk utility. But after reparing the disk, it eventually fills up again and I have to keep repairing the disk to free the space again. Does anybody else have this problem and know what's causing it? And is there a fix?

Samuraijohnny wrote:
the Repair Disk utility keeps finding there's an error in the amount of free space/blocks being reported. To me this sounds almost like a problem with Lion itself.
I asume that you ran Disk Utility [Repair] in Recovery HD. If the error keeps recurring then it may be a bad disk.

My macbook storage keeps getting filled when i have not downloaded anything

In the last two days my macbook storage appears to be getting filled. I have no idea by what because i have noe downloaded anything. How do i fix this?

I have the same problem ever since I bought my new MBP Retina 13", 128GB SSD. Summed up I have 120GB that I can use for storage (I can see that for example in iStat Pro or in the Activity Screen). I don't know if that is normal in the first place, since the SSD is 128GB?
Further, I only installed: iWork '09, MS Office for Mac and Coconut Battery. Nothing else is on my MBP yet. It is 'empty'. Oh yes, my MBP is working on Mountain Lion.
Now when I check the storage free space it is saying 89GB . What happened to the other 39GB ! Oh well, minus the programmes I have installed (6,75GB). Let's say what happened to the 30GB?
Yesterday it was still saying that I had 90GB left for storage use. Today is has already decreased to 89GB. In the mean time I did nothing, except surfing around on this Apple Support Communities and tried to find information with Google search engine. So, Safari was the only programme that was on.
Maybe it has to do with something downloading or 'saving' data automatically? I have no idea.

ICloud backup storage keeps popping up and I've delete a lot of data and apps for it to have more space, but it keeps popping up and deleting things doesn't work, how do I fix this?

I've been trying to delete things to make room for more storage but nothing is happening, it keeps saying that iCloud won't backup because there is too much storage. I only have a few apps and I've deleted things I don't use, but nothin is working. How do I fix this?
