Bootcamp shows less disk space available

Hi guys, I am new to Mac and bootcamp, so pls help me to explain the following issue. Tks alot.
1. http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af50/nadung_photo/BootCamp%20errors/Screensho t2010-07-27at101043AM.png
you see that my hard disk had 500 GB with ~463G available
2. http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af50/nadung_photo/BootCamp%20errors/Screensho t2010-07-27at100923AM.png
But in this pic, bootcamp seems to recognize less total disk space (around 35GB missing)
3. http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af50/nadung_photo/BootCamp%20errors/Screensho t2010-07-27at61107PM.png
Even Inventory X recognize almost similar with Bootcamp (35GB go to somewhere)
I run as root user, did check the Disk Utility from installation disk (booted by CD) to have the same result - it shows I have full 500GB
My question is: what's wrong with the bootcamp? or it only recognize max 465GB only?
I am hesitate to install the win yet afraid that more GB will be missing. pls help me explain the reason.
Many thanks.

Hi nadung,
The OSX Disk Utility shows your 500GB harddisk with 499,93GB -> correct.
The BootCamp Assistant showing 460GB (rounded down) might be due to the 'awaited use of Windows'...
Why Disk Inventory X is showing the 'wrong' size, I don't know. Might be a question for the developer of it.
The 'loss' of 35GB is about 7% of the full 500GB of the harddisk.
If you have a look at the comparison chart in here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte that is nearly exact the amount to be expected.
Fact is there is no real-life loss since not only the harddisk size is lower in Windows than in OSX but the size of the files and folders is lower by the same rate.
So nothings lost and nothings gained. Just one more confusion...

MTA msg:MSLOCAL: Less than 1 kBytes of disk space available

I just started seeing these a few days ago and I know for a fact there is a huge amount of disk space on the server hosting the MTA, so I am not sure why these messages are appearing:
<01/25/12 04:11:51> DIS: MSLOCAL: Less than 1 kBytes of disk space available
<01/25/12 04:51:51> DIS: MSLOCAL: More than 1 kBytes of disk space available
The messages have show up a handfull of times since 1/20. Could not find anything on other forums, or in the KB. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

This is the amount of LOG space configure for the POA ( see Console One --> POA Object --> logging configuration. ) You get this message when it exceeds the limit you specify and it has to clean up old logs to make room.... hence the "Less Than 1 KB" ( I deleted stuff ) "More Than 1 KB" pattern. You may just just started to exceed the size limit, and previously were just riding on the log file aging alone which would clean out old logs. You can up the limit if you want to ensure N-days of retained logs.

HT3680 Less disk space after then before

I ran this utility and it took up more disk space- now I have less space then when I started.
Now what do I do? No matter what I remove I gain no extra space.
Help....

My apologies, the disk utility that comes with Mac OS.
I went to Launch Pad -> Utilities -> Disk Utility and ran the procedure by selecting the Erase tab and pressing the Erase Free Space... button. I choose the default option and let the program finish running. At the end I had less disk space reporting by this Utility then before the Utility ran.
I checked the Activity Monitor to confirm the amount of space free and it agreed with the Disk Utility.
I started the procedure as my Mac was running extremely slowly. It is a MacBook late 2008 model and upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7.5, which is as high as I can upgrade. If I try to upgrade further I receive a message that the Mac cannot support the next level upgrade.
I Have a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, with 2GB memory. When I check About this Mac it agrees with the amount of space available as the other two programs (Disk Utility and Activity Monitor).
The Mac is still running slowly.
I did check the HD with a commandi and this reports 76.72 GB free space.
I know the Mac does a lot of swapping but why hasn't performance improved?
I was thinking of purchasing an additional app or software such as Drive Genius but not sure it will help.
Any thoughts?

Creating SCOM 2012 Logical Disk Space Availability View

Hi Everyone,
I am looking to create a SCOM 2012 Logical Disk Space Availability View and having a little trouble finding documentation on how to do this. It would be really handy to see all of the servers being monitored and how much free space they have all in one view.
Has anyone created a view like this before.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

I bought a game that has 16.66 GB and my computer has 30 GB free, however when I try to install it it says there is not enough disk space available.

Whenever I try to install the game it says there is not enough disk space available. I have tried to delete things that take up space but it did not help.
Game:Napoleon Total War

30GB's free disk space is not enough. If you don't free up storage space soon, your Mac may not boot which is why you see the, "not enough disk space available" dialog.
Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.

Receiving a "There is not enough disk space available to install the product" error in App store while I clearly have enough space?

I am attempting to purchase Dues Ex: Human Revolution which requires 17GB to run, I currently have 27.34GB free.
Even though I have 10GB more than the required space I still get the "There is not enough disk space available to install the product"
Any ideas?

HI...
You need at the very least 15% free disk space. More if possible. Definitely not enough free space to install a 17GB app.
OSX Tips Where did my Disk Space go?

And make sure your Mac meets the app's minimum requirements which according to the App Store is Mac OS X 10.7.3 or later under Information right side of the App Store window.

Problem: There is not enough disk space available to process clips. Clear some space and try again.

Hi there.
I am running the newest FCPX 10.0.9 and Mavericks, and I am editing a large multicam project. I have approx. 190 GB left on my external event/project disk via USB3 (it has 2TB in total), and I get the error message:
"There is not enough disk space available to process clips. Clear some space and try again."
when I am trying to add clips to an angle in one of my multicam clips. I have made more than 8 multicam clips in the same event, without that problem, but now it won't let me add more.
What's the problem?

This was driving me nuts as well until I found the sneaky checkbox. In the editing tab in Preferences there is a checkbox for "Optimize media for multicam." If that's checked, Final Cut is rendering ProRes files for every clip you bring into multicam, so it just eats memory. Unchecking that solved my issues; hope it helps you or anyone who comes across this!

Upgrade the OS from Maver to Yosemite.. message "There is no enough disk space available to install this product". Please help.

I have 5.12gb space on my Macbook Air (Mid 2012). But when i attempt to upgrade the OS from Maver to Yosemite, i get a message "There is no enough disk space available to install this product". Please help

You need to temporarily free up additional drive space - the Yosemite download itself is just over 5GB and then it needs more space to install it. Once the new OS is installed the installer will be deleted. Music and movie files are large and will be the most convenient files to remove to an external drive.
On another note it isn't a good idea to try to run the computer with so little free drive space. Look for files you can offload to an external drive permanently. For example, I keep my music and movies on an external drive. You can keep a small assortment of music on the computer but save lots of space by keeping the regular media library off the computer.

[SOLVED] gdisk reports less disk space than cfdisk

I did a fresh install of Arch today and decided to try partitioning GPT style with gdisk. I noticed that gdisk reported 10gb less disk space in total than cfdisk (149 vs 160gb respectively). I haven't been able to find an answer as to why this would be. Does anyone know?
Thanks!

Here you can see the difference is around 7 percent in the scale of gigabytes.

User disk space available showing less than actually available on drive

Can anyone tell me why the space available to a user would be different, less than, that on the drive?
My user home folder is showing only 72Gb available, while I've actually still got some 350Gb available on the drive, which I can see in the finder by clicking on the drive. I certainly haven't manually given myself a quota or anything.
I am using encryption, file vault. And I'm using time machine.

FileVault only encrypts the Home folder. It does so by creating a sparsebundle type of disc image file. Any space available information you see is related to the sparsebundle. As your Home folder expands in space usage so will the sparsebundle. However, if you remove files from the Home folder the sparsebundle will not shrink.

"Not Enough Free Disk Space" error message, but Finder shows plenty of disk space available

Apologies if this is a double post, but I have been searching all over and can't seem to find this issue in the forums.
I have a 256GB Macbook with a fresh copy of Lion installed, am going through the process of migrating files back over, after which I have approximately 125GB free. However, whenever I go online and try to download any type of file (PDF, sofware install files, etc.), an error message displays saying:
Safari could not download the file “blahblahblah.dmg” because there is not enough free disk space.
Not sure how this is possible since the .dmg file is 18MB and Finder is saying there is over 125GB free. I've tried repairing disk permissions, booting off the Lion recovery disk and repairing the startup disk, all to no avail. Anyone had this issue before?

Don Archibald wrote:
Check in Safari's Preferences (in the Safari menu) to see what has been designated as the destination for downloads. If that has somehow been set to a disk image or a CD/DVD location, you'll get that 'not enough space' message.
The same may occur if the download target location is set to a non-available drive. This can happen when aliases are used and things have been copied (migrated) from another drive.
Thanks for the suggestion. That wasn't the problem, but your suggestion did shed light on something else. I was able to perform a right-click action and Save File As... to my Documents folder. On further analysis, it appears that the "Macintosh HD", Downloads folder, and Desktop are showing the "pencil with a line through it" icon in the bottom left of the Finder window, which would suggest those areas are read-only for some reason.
My user account is the only one on the machine and it's an admin account. Any guesses as to why that might have set itself that way, or any suggestions on how to change it? I've already tried repairing permissions on the startup disk in Disk Utility.

Please help! 2012 13" macbook pro with 250GB SSD, showing incorrect disk space reading

I have a 2013 Macbook Pro. Installed a new samsung evo 250 GB SSD. Runs great, very fast. However after looking through the available disk space and usage, there is a discrepancy between the available disk space and the amount of space being used throughout movies, pics, apps, backups, etc. I have enclosed a screenshot, to give a better idea. Any takers? it shows that i have 1.16GB of music which i dont have. It also shows 728.6MB of photos, which also i don't have. I have no pics nor music on my macbook. Lastly, it is showing that I have 114.11GB of apps on the macbook, which clearly is impossible for me to have! It shows that i have over 227.49GB of free space out of 249.07. Doesnt make sense at all! If anyone has a solution in fixing this, please let me know, thanks!

How to migrate from my old MacBook Pro to a new one with less disk space and an external hard drive?

I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and an external hard drive.
Yet I have problems migrating data from my old MacBook Pro (more internal disk space with around 500 GB data) to my new one (internal disk space less than 500 GB).
I have connected all 3 devices but it seems the Migration Assistant does not have an option for us to select to migrate to an external hard drive.
Any other way to do it?
Kindly help me. Thanks.

For your situation, Target disk mode may be the most efficient method:
