Blue sceen appeared after low disk space warning

Hi Everyone, just seen a message stating a low disk space on my Mac pro bought last November and tried plugging in an external hard drive to remove some pictures to free up some space but it seems that the computer did not have enough space left to start up and run the hard drive. I then tried to restart and ended up with a blue screen and have no knowledge now how to fix this problem. I phoned support but they say I have no technical support left but do have warranty and I would need to either try with the community here or take the unit to an apple store for an appointment. The store is an 1 and 1/2 from me and I really want o see if there is another fix that could allow me to start again then remove some files and then add external drive to remove more. I was blown away at the low amount of storage.....looked for the icloud option last night to upload there as i was told about this by a UK client of mine and now see it is not up and running. Any advice or help by the communtiy would be greatly appreciated as this is my business and travelling laptop. Cheers, Dean <")))><

Hi Dean,
You may be able to access it via FireWire Target Disk Mode: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
If so, move and delete enough so you have at least 15% free space on the MBP's HD. After that, run Repair Disk:
First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on theUtilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

Incorrect Low Disk Space Warning from HP Support Assistant

I have an HP Envy m7 notebook. I am getting a warning from the HP Support Assistant that the Primary Drive C: has low disk space. However, my Windows 8.1 Properties box for the C: drive says more that 90% of the drive is free, as I guessed. Why am I getting this seemingly incorrect warning?

Hi sheryltoo,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you.
I understand the HP support assistant is giving you a low disk space error, but you have plenty of free space available.
Did the error pertain to a different drive letter other then you main drive?
I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the The HP Support Assistant. If you have an older versions installed that may be why you are getting a false error.
Please let me know the outcome.

What to do with low disk space warning?

My Time Capsule is blinking amber because of low disk space. Isn't it supposed to delete the oldest files to make more room? What should I do at this point?

Nothing. That warning is separate from Time Machine.
It's useful if you're using your Time Capsule for other data, but Time Machine will take care of running out of room for backups all by itself.

TMS Low Disk Space Warning Threshold

Does anyone know what the threshold is for TMS to warn about Low Disk Space? I can't find it in the documentation.
Mine is giving me this warning now, and I'm wondering how much space I have to give it before it will be happy, likely by increasing the virtual disk size, so it would be nice to know my target, since that sort of thing requires some paperwork and I'd rather not have to do it twice.
Thanks.

Depending on the deployment size, it's recommended for the hard drive to be around 60-80GB per the TMS Install Guide. You could move your SQL database off the server, if it's hosted on the same server as TMS, as well as deleting old server logs. Here are some suggestions on how you can free up some disc space on the TMS server.

Low Disk Space Warning in LR 2.1 RC

Hello,
I just installed Lightroom 2.1 RC on my homebuilt 2.83 GHz Quad Core computer with 4 Gigs of RAM running Windows Vista SP1. I have a 500 GB hard drive that I use for my software and another 500 GB hard drive that I use for documents and files/photos. My software drive has 465 GB of free space left. To my astonishment, about 15 minutes into using 2.1 RC I got a message telling me that my C: (Programs) drive is low on disk space and that I should delete files to free up 20 MB of space for lightroom to run or exit lightroom. At the bottom of the dialog box were two buttons: Try Again and Exit.
I can't imagine why I got this popup box because I still have like 465 GB of free space on my C: drive. Anyone else experience this issue? Is this a known bug that will be fixed in the final release?
Thanks,
Brad

I remember problems like this when OSes first started allowing more than 2GB on a hard-drive, and some software didn't use enough bits to hold the entire free-space number, and was basically comparing a number that was the free-space modulo 2GB, so when the free space was slightly above a multiple of 2GB, the software thought it was slightly above zero, instead. I find it hard to believe that LR would have similar issues.
Your reference to a 465GB number as freespace is a little suspicious to me, because 465GB is what a 500,000,000,000 byte drive reports as it's maximum size after being formatted. So perhaps you are misjudging a number that you feel is free space when it is really total space and the drive could be almost full.

Terminal - low disk space warning

Hi
I have MacBook Pro 15", Late 2011
256Gb SSD, 8Gb RAM
One week ago I've updated to 10.8.3 and my Terminal.app constantly shows me the following message (every 3-5 min.):
I neither run any new programs nor update any applications. I have the same applications and do the same work more than 1 year and never seen this warning.
This warning window is very annoying (every 3-5 minutes), how can I disable it?

CSV Volume low on disk space warning alltough the space isn't used (VSS?)

HI Guys,
we are running a HV-2012 Cluster. most of the VM's are backuped by DPM 2012 r2.
Recently i noticed some "CSV low disk Space Warning" withing SCOM.
Today i looked at one of the CSV's.
The Size is 1800GB and if you look at the Size of all the Folders on the Volume within the Explorer they are 1250 GB.
After that i looked a the Failover Cluster Manager -> Storage -> Disk: This console states that there are only 36GB Free on the Volume.
My guess is that the VSS Snapshots use up the Disk-Space? But if i do a vssadmin list shadowstorage
only drive c is displayed.
Could this end up in a Problem or is the vss Space freed automaticly?
Or is there something else wrong?
Anyone a clue on this?
regards
Stefan

First thing is that you're running out of space and need to move quickly to make space while you figure this out. When you run out of space, the VMs will shut down.
How many VMs you have on that CSV and many VHD(x) disks you have an the CSV? Another question that matters here is how fast is your backup for each VM?
Regardless of the backup software being DPM or any other VSS based backup, it works by creating a checkpoint of the VM, which creates a snapshot of its disks. A volume snapshot turns the VM disk into a read only disk and starts a change log disk (.avhdx)
file. The crash consistent read-only .vhdx file is then copied by the backup software agent from the host to the backup server. Upon successful completion, the agent deletes the VM checkpoint, which merges the disk snapshot, merging the .avhdx and .vhdx files
back into one file.
So, if you're backup time for this VM takes hours, during that time, the VM disk space usage can grow a lot more that what it would usually use. If you run out of disk space then, backup will fail, the VM will be suspended, and you cannot bring it online,
since the merge needs even more disk space.

Great to hear Dean, thanks!
Further notes: OSX needs about 15% or 10GB Free space minimum, but will run mucch faster/safer with 30-40% or 50GB of Free Space... Free Space is no longer ours to use.
Another tool to help clear up assorted things is Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Warning about low disk space on drive E

Hi,
I'm running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion Elite HPE. My main drive i s C and there is also D (Factory image) and then the HP(E: ) one which is giving the warning about low disk space. When I look at what there is in drive E there is a folder called "my name"-PC with a lot of "Backup Set" folders/files in it, and then there is a folder called WindowsImageBackup and subfolder "my name"-PC.
I know I have to clean out these folders but I ma very insecure as to what I can delete.
I'd be very thankful if you could give me some advice in this matter!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

File History in Windows 7 is an extensive image backup of your drive which will steadily increase over time and needs to be cleared and suggest that you turn the feature off. It is not very efficient.
If you wish to delete this Windows Image Backup file, you should disable the automatic backup feature of Windows.
Click on Start button > Control Panel > System and Maintenance> Backup and Restore.
In the left pane, click on "Turn Off Schedule".
From there you can delete the backup files on your E drive.
I also suggest as an alternative, use Macrium Reflect Free every so often as it is more efficient and reliable. It will make a complete image back up of your entire hard drive to an external hard drive. Don't forget to create a rescue disk.
Go to this site and do a Custom Install:

I personally use the Professional Edition which gives me more flexibility and features.

Qosmio X500 Folder migration utility and low disk space drice C

This may be a longish post as I try to explain my problem... please forgive.
I've had my X500 for just over three months now.
It took a little while before the folder migration utility woke up I didn't know it was there after I'd done a limited copy of folders across from my old Qosmio F20. After it had woken up and I'd been able to transfer folders/files across it cleared a lot of room from the 'tiny' - I feel, 60 Gb SSD C drive.
I keep getting a message coming up sometimes, when I boot up, that the folder migration utility has a setting for me. If I open the utility it shows no folders in the 'C' drive area and folders already transfered [from first using it] in the right hand side for the 'D' drive. Text in the bottom of the utility says something like "if you have done some manual transfers then it can't do anything"... something along those lines - sorry for not being clear on that.
I've recently installed some other programs and have endeavoured each time to do a custom install to the D drive to program files [x86] folder. However, drive C is now showing low disk space at 5.58 of 59.2 Gb.
Checking the folders copies??? I thought for the programs I installed I find lots of folders/files in those program folders so taking up a lot of space.
What is the best way to free up space on drive 'C' please?
Should I manually copy the data contained in the folders [not just a 'name' ... ie; AVID... folder but possibly also in the drive C Program files [x86] folder] to the same named folders on drive D?
If I did, would the programs work properly or would there be problems in the program being located?
When the utility first activated [by itself] I thought "Great... transfer of all my old data to the X500 will be easy" but it doesn't seem to be the case. I was expecting that any new programs installed would be automatically copied to drive D. I'm getting somewhat paranoid about the low disk space on drive C.
Help would be appreciated.

Thanks for coming forward PauPau.
Firstly, when I got the x500 I had lots of documents etc., I wanted to transfer over so I used the Win7 Transfer program to make the back up/transfer images. In doing the transfer across [after the copies of] the X500 gave an error warning that the C: drive had insufficient space to do the full copies. At this time/stage I was not aware that the X500 had a folder migration utility. What ever made it 'wake up' and make itself known I have no idea but I used it when it did. My first problem was probably in using the Win7 file transfer - for getting files/folders across from the old computer to the x500!
I ended up doing a factory reset about three times before this utility made it self known. I found NOTHING in ant documentation about the X500 about this utility and how to make use of it when I bought the laptop. Not sure if you are aware of the make up of the X500 having 2 hard drives; a 'C:' drive of 65Gb SSD and a SATA 'D:' drive of 650GB. If you do then my apologies if that comes over in any 'bad' way. The D: drive is NOT a partition of 1 installed hard drive as your reply would seem to suggest you are thinking.
The migration folder utility, when used first time, copied/transfered folders across - even program folders such as Program files [x86] - and left 'similar' named folders on the C: drive. At that time I then thought that any future installs of programs would be put in the D: drive. Only when watching the first time for a new program install did I see it going to the C: Program and Program files [x86] folders instead of those in the D: drive. I then had to uninstall and do a custom install to direct to the D: drive. However... some data appears that it can NOT be directed from the install disk to the D: drive and still goes to the C: drive - HENCE the issue I am having with the small amount of remaining free space on the C: drive.
I accept what you say in reply to my question about the best way to free up space but, based on as explained above, should I have to do a re-install of any program I try to run after being moved to the same named corresponding folder on the separate D: drive [if that is what I have to do] I think the install disk will still do an automatic install of these to the C: drive as at that stage there seems no way of stopping it. Although given the option in a custom install to change the 'drive' to install to such as the D: some data is still going to C: and I'll be in the same predicament that I am now.
If that's the case then maybe this is something that TOSHIBA should be looking in to solving if they are going to produce laptops with two hard drives - - - even if one [the C: drive] is of the SSD make to speed thing up.
I DO appreciate your input. MAybe I didn't explain properly first time... and maybe I haven't this time - in which case I apologies.
Are there no other X500 users with the same issue?
Thanks. I may just have to give it a go and transfer these data files/folders manually to the D: and see what happens if no one here can guide as to stop any hair pulling frustrations if it goes wrong.

Low Disk Space on Lenovo_Recovery (Q:) Partition

Hello all. I have had a Thinkpad T410 for around a month now and I am loving it.
Recently I have been getting a warning saying:
Low Disk Space
You are running out of disk space on Lenovo_Recovery {Q:}.
Click here to see if you can free space on this drive.
So, I click there to try and free space - there is nothing to delete to free space.
If I go to Computer, it tells me that there is 7.37 MB free of 9.76 GB on the {Q:} partition. Upon double-clicking the {Q:} partition, only two things exist.
TAYLOR-THINK (File Folder)
MediaID.bin (BIN File - Size of 1 KB)
Fair enough. I open up the TAYLOR-THINK file folder and see two more things.
Backup Set 2010-06-21 015705 (File Folder)
MediaID.bin (BIN File - Size of 1 KB)
The Backup Set file folder contains 2.25 GB, which includes Backup Files from two different days.
9.76 - 2.25 = 7.51 GB
Something in the {Q:} recovery partition is using 7.51 GB of space but I don't know what?
Help please!

Please do and check the following;
open R&R and select the option at the very bottom of the left column in the window, it should say something to the effect of "select advanced view" or something to that effect, sorry but I don't have a system a hand to look at. (Somrtimes the option is almmost half hidden - should be light blue text).
It should then open a window offering more options than on the original screen. One of those options should be to set schedules and options for backups. Check here what the maximum number of backups is set to; if it's set to 3 change that entry to 4, apply and then click ok.
After doing this please try running another backup and let us know what happens.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Low Disk Space - Mini 110

Recently the free space on my HD has suddenly disappeared but I haven't installed any new programs. I have the 16GB solid state drive and originally had about 5GB of programs installed. A couple of weeks ago I started getting low disk warnings but couldn't figure out why but deleted a few little used programs to free up space. Went from 75mb free to 850mb then the next day I get the low disk warnings again, showing 160mb free. I lot almost 700mb overnight.
Tried the Chat option and instead of fixing the problem had me change the Registry but instead of fixing anything only stopped the warning message. Guess the logic is if you don't see a problem it isn't there. Then he wanted me to delete Windows components. I drew the line there, would free a few mb w/o fixing the problem, After this suggestion I realized my Indian chap didn't have a clue.
My firtst thought was a virus but I've done 3 full scans w/o finding anything. Any ideas whats causing my hd free to disappear and possible solutions?

Does low disk space make my Macbook Pro act weird?

Hi! I have an early 2011 15" MBP with a 750gb hard disk space. Just the other day, while I was using photoshop with my laptop, the screen went off so I had to reset it. My laptop acted weird after: doing a screen split (the right part goes to the left and vice versa), one time it had weird pixels that were scattered all over, recently, a blue striped screen. All of this froze my laptop by the way. And all of this happened after a few minutes of usage. And I noticed if I use photoshop, it would only take a little amount of time before it would act weird again compared to when I don't. All the times caused me to reset my laptop by holding the power button.
Yesterday, it wouldn't boot past the gray screen after resetting about five times. But after it turned off by itself, I tried turning it on again and it booted normally. And I could use it normally again, but with extra care (using it beside an electric fan, checking the temperature with iStat pro).
I tried the extended Apple Hardware Test but it told me no trouble was found.
Another thing was, everytime my laptop froze and did the weird screen thingy, my laptop was hot.
I tried to use it again yesterday to just surf the web, and after some minutes it was still functioning. But I remember one time I was only surfing the web, it did the split screen and froze after almost an hour or so.
Also, my laptop heats up quickly compared before. And can stand being hot for a long time until now.
I haven't used any heavy applications besides photoshop to test my laptop's weird behavior by the way.
So I guess it's because of the laptop's heat. Because I can only use it for a very short time when using photoshop but I can use my laptop for a longer time when only surfing the web.
I also noticed that if I was forced to reset my laptop and turn it on again, it would boot longer than normal. But if I was able to shut it down properly and turn it on again, it would boot normally.
And, just a while ago, I remembered my laptop's disk space was only 14gb from 750gb (downloaded a lot of series since I bought my laptop). So maybe what's causing the heat was the low disk space. Just a guess. So is it possible that my laptop is behaving weird because of the low disk space?

The problem is back. But this time, it only happened when I used photoshop or played a 1080p video. I was using my laptop for almost 3 hours when i decided to use photoshop. It froze as soon as it started and made my screen display weird pixels. I restarted and tried to open photoshop again and this time, it froze. I did it the third time and after using PS for a minute, it did the split screen. After restarting yet again, I tried to play a 1080p video to just test my laptop. It froze as soon as VLC started. But when i only surf the web (which is the only thing I did before using PS), everything goes well. So I guess it really is the GPU and not the logic board or some other parts. I've decided to just have my laptop checked.
