  • How to restore my itunes after clean Leopard install

    Hi!
    I made a complete backup of my MAC hard drive before doing a completely clean install of leopard.
    can someone tell me what I need to do (and where to go) to get the data off the backup image to make itunes work like before?
    thanks!

    Copy the entire iTunes folder including music to the new location.
    Click on the iTunes icon to start it, then immediately press an hold the Option key.
    iTunes will ask to Create new library or Choose existing library. Select Choose existing library and select the library in the folder you just moved.
    You will not need to set the iTunes prefs -> Advanced.

  • Scratch Disk Full error for PS7 installation in Windows 7

    Can anyone from Adobe tech support tell me how to install my own copy of PS7 on my new Windows 7 computer without having the Scratch Disk Full error show up?  I am comfortable around my computer but am certainly not a tech wizard and it would be helpful if there was a set of specific steps I could take. I've read forums about partitioning but I don't want to make a wrong step and screw everything else up. Also, is this a problem with the more recent Photoshop CS versions?

    Well, I've been able to install my PS-7 on my virtual drive in XP mode somehow (I got the 'disk full' pop-up, but then it seemed to install it anyway- I don't remember if it was the curse I leveled at it or what- and it still seems to run.  I can actually access images from the Windows 7 side C: drive after opening Photoshop and going to 'open/ C:/ My Photos (or whatever)', but images I open in Windows 7 have to be saved on my hard drive before I can access them in Photoshop in XP mode. I'm still not sure where the new images will be stored and if they will be able to be accessed from both XP and Windows 7 mode (my gut says "fat chance"), and I can't have my Windows 7 images open in Photoshop natively.
         I have therefore decided to add to the (probably swelling) coffers of Adobe by buying a shiny, brand new, squeaky-clean, and (hopefully) fully functional copy of Photoshop Elements 10 to install on my Windows 7 side, so now I can avoid having some lame 'viewer' program open my images.  Ain't technology grand?

  • I've cleared almost 30 gig off of my hard drive in the past 2 weeks, and it will temporarily show that in the Get Info box.  But hours later, I am still getting a disk full error and all of the memory has disappeared.

    Any ideas on what to do next?
    I'm running and iMac 20-inch  early 2009
    Processor  2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

    Step 1
    Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
    Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
    Step 2
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash as well:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    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 see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). 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. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Adobe Photoshop Scratch Disk Full/Startup Disk Full error - PLEASE HELP

    Dear ALL,
    I have started to notice recently that when I run Photoshop CS on my Mac OSX Tiger, I am getting the Startup Disk Full error message. Never happended before.
    Since my initial post I downloaded Macaroni (utility) and have run the daily/weekly/monthly backups, checked the /private/var/vm and /private/var/log and /Volumes. Nothing unusual there...
    When I started getting this error I had 32GB left on a looked at my HD and I seem to have 32GB available on a 152GB drive. Now after deleting I have 76GB capacity left.
    But when I tried to open a Photoshop PSD or TIFF file and do a crop I still get tge Startup Disk is Full error followed by the Adobe Photoshop error Scratch Disk is Full.
    I am thinking of running the Disk Utility from the Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and doing a Verify Disk and Verify Disk Permissions followed by Repair Disk Permissions. I will be logged into the machine whilst doing this. Is there any danger in this as I have read elsewhere that I need to do this from a bootable volume. If that is the case how do I create a bootable disk/cd? If not then what is the cure to my Disk Full as surely there is now nearly 50% FREE!!!!!
    Please help.
    Max

    PS will always use the boot disk for scratch to some extent even with an alternate primary scratch disk.
    Be sure to turn off Spotlight as it causes problems.
    4GB of RAM would be nice, I understand small files don't work well if there is more than 4GB RAM but large files will. OS X uses free RAM as cache and RAM disk before using disk drives.
    How much RAM is allocated to PS? More RAM would help.
    A dedicated lean boot drive helps. Install just what is needed for your work, use a separate drive for data, and yet another RAID volume for scratch.
    When in doubt, backup with SuperDuper, and do an erase and then restore. Always backup before repairing; and never, ever, use an old version of Tiger CD/DVD - like 10.4.2 on 10.4.7/.8. Use "fsck" instead, or your emergency boot drive.
    Also, give Applejack a shot and delete the cache folders and swap files from time to time to keep a system humming. CS/CS2 and Tiger benefit nicely from more RAM.

  • Shutdown while startup, disk full error on verbose

    i have a mac book pro when starting , the gray screen appears, later the apple and 10 seconds later aprox, turn off
    i try verbose mode and after turn off i can see a message “Disk full error"
    Operating system: OSX 10.9
    322MB FREE OF 300GB .. (my girlfriend is a graphic designer and does not pay any attention to alerts ..)
    I prove, smc reset, 2 chime sound test, safe mode (turn off too).
    performing tests were:
    1. Launch the recovery console ( from bootable usb osx mavericks) ,
    a. i probe unmount the volume Macintosh HD, not possible, because, its in use.
    a. verify disk ( Macintosh HD) , "the disk needs to be repair"
    b . repair disk ( Macintosh HD) , Keys out of order , ... Utility cant repair disk , and restore your backed -up files
    c . Check disk (320gb toshiba ..) , the partition map need to be repaired , because ... Problem with the EFI system partitions
    d . repair disk (320gb toshiba ..) , but ... when repair , try with Recovery HD, and works fine (not Macintosh HD)
    After that, the disc automatically unmounts and its not possible mount again (from terminal said "mount: /dev/disk0s2: unknow special file of file system")
    2 . Probe I start with a recovery console (local disk)
    same results (on repair 320gb toshiba.. the first time i run it, said "can’t perform live”, after that, same result like point 1
    3. restart, with recovery console (local disk)
    a. launch terminal and try to delete manually , go to /dev/disk0s2 (/Volumes/Macintosh HD) and can browse the disk  (ex /Users/xxxx/Desktop), but when tried rm, appears “Read-Only File System"
    4. Remove the HD from mac and put it on case, when i connect it via USB to another mac book pro, the OS, saids “can’t recognize the disk, initialize, ignore, eject)
    it is possible unmount the volume and remount like read-write from recovery console?
    is it possible to access the data in read-write mode for any way to delete some huge files?
    its the only solution mount and external disk and make and tedious scp from Terminal???, if its possible
    regards, sorry for my bad English
    Dario

    There are lots of hidden directories. There could be actual data instead of alias mount points under "/Volumes" which is often one reason.
    There are a couple programs to show where space is going, as well as sort output from terminal, but I prefer OmniGroup OmniDiskSweeper - look on MacUpdate - to show and access files. Program works fine even though shareware.
    And yes, you might want to use the Raptor? for something else and get even WD 640GB for $75, or the 3rd gen VelociRaptor 300GB $289.
    There are threads in "Using Leopard" regularly about "where did my space go."

  • Hopeless disk-full error of my 5800 XpressMusic

    Dear Nokia,
    I'm using my 5800 XpressMusic for quite a long time a I like it for many things: long battery life, ergonomics, etc. 
    There is one terrible bug though that spoils the pleasure. I'm constantly getting "disk full" error. 
    I have read all forums/discussions/advises about the problem. I have cleaned up the browser cash and the cash of all other applications. The firm fact is that all the files (including hidden ones) in my C drive occupy about 20percent of its size but the disk is full. 
    Yes, I know that if do the hard reset, it will help. BUT I JUST DON"T WANT! Last time I did it, it took me hours because the new firmware would not want to install or something.
    It is an obvious bug of the file system. Why, dear Nokia, are you making updates of the firmware with new graphical features and (sure everyone needs it) dynamic scrolling WITHOUT FIXING THIS BUG? Can you at least make an app that would recover the lost space?
    Is it not a proper message for discussion forums? Probably! But there is no support anymore to contact. All "contact support"  links end up here. You are not trying to help your customers with their problems, you invite to discuss them. How nice!
    Could you please give some response to the issue? So far i've only seen reports of desperate users trying to fix the problem.

    Hello, w00dman. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
    We are sorry to hear this. You may try the below fixes:
    Close some applications and try again
    In this case there are too many applications active at the same time. The problem can be fixed by closing some of the applications:
    Long press the Menu key to see the list of active applications.
    Select the applications which are not needed and close them.
    If this doesn't help, switch off and restart the phone.
    Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory
    The phone notifies you if the phone memory or memory card free space is getting low. There can be different error messages shown this situation, for example:
    "Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
    "Disk Full : Automatic retrieval of mailbox for exchange disabled"
    Free your Phone memory
    Transfer some data to the memory card with the File mgr application (select Menu > Applications > File mgr.). Select or mark files to be moved, select Options > Organise > Move to folder and then the destination folder.
    In order to free memory, you could also remove or move the following items:
    Messages from Inbox, Drafts and Sent folders in Messaging.
    Define a shorter sync period in Mail settings to remove retrieved e-mails.
    Clear the web browser cache to free some memory (select Options > Clear privacy data > Cache). 
    Saved images, videos, or sound files.
    Contact information.
    Calendar notes.
    Downloaded application packages.
    If there are applications which are not needed any more, uninstall them (select Menu > Settings > Data mgr. > App.mgr. > Installed apps.).
    Any other data that you no longer need.
    Use the memory card in the Camera application (select Options > Settings > Memory in use to define the memory where the images are stored). Or copy images and video clips to your PC with Nokia Suite. 
    Let us know how it will go. 

  • HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

    HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
    Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

    Keith,
    I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

  • Media Encoder - "Disk Full" error

    I am using CS4 and tried to render my 1st video of about 2 hours to MS AVI format. I get an error after about 20 minutes that says:

    Error compiling movie.
    Disk Full.
    The Output file disk has about has about 650gb of available space available. Can anyone help me with what the problem could be? Thanks.

    First thanks to everyone who tried to help. I believe I found the problem. It had nothing to do with Premiere Pro setup. The 1TB external hard drive that I was using for my scratch drive was set up as a FAT32. This meant that any files I tried to create that would be greater than about 4GB would error out. This is why I was getting the "disk full" error message even though my disk still had over of 600gb available space. I converted the hard drive to NTFS and have no more errors. Hopefully my discovery will help the next person who may run into this problem.

  • Can't open the Illustration. Can't print the illustration. Disk full error . . .

    Since CS5, now CS5.1 I have had periods, sometimes multiple times a day, that I have this error, "Can't open Illustration. Can't print the illustration. Disk full error has occured while printing."
    I don't understand if I am alone in the problem or what. But after 3 days of the problem starting up again, I am quickly going nuts - I was close to that point before these issues.
    Facts:
    It happens without warning! These are native illustrator files that I created or have been given to me.
    I am NOT printing when it happens.
    I cannot open ANY illustrator file once the error occurs.
    If I quit Illustrator and re-open, it still does NOT work.
    I have to restart my entire computer, then it works fne - until it happens again, which is 5-6 times a day.
    I am running 10.6.8  on a 2.9 Core 2 Duo 24" iMac with 4GB ram.
    Doe anyone have any idea what the problem is or how to fix it? Please!!!!!

    Probably a font cache, corrupt font and now a preference corruption as well.
    Bloated font cache an do this.
    So can a permission problem
    So download ONYX it is free clear out your font cache, if you have cocktail that will do as well. As mfar as the corrut font Font Agent Pro would be useful for helping you locate the  corrupt font.
    As for the preferences
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS# Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
    (someone here will advice you to rename the folder but that only applies to the Windows system just trash and empty the trash and a fresh one will be made)
    Then use the disk Utility to repair the permissions.
    You can do all of thesee and maybe avoid the corrupt font and see if that works but I suggest you do all three and then if it happens again trouble shoot your fonts.
    If this does not help probably a conflict with a plug in or other third party software.

  • What do i need to do when i get a startup disk full error?

    What do i need to do when i get a startup disk full error?  I can't update software or use my MacAir at all.

Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.

  • Cannot restart after failed Leopard install

    Attempted to install Leopard on iBook with appropriate processor speed. Installation fails. Reran installer and let DVD be checked. States problem with DVD. When I try to restart the computer, it will not restart. Spinning wheel just keeps spinning. I cannot get the DVD to eject.
    I have already had to pay to have 24" iMac fixed after failed Leopard install, 2-3 hours trying to get through to Apple, and prior to posted comments on installation problems on the web site.
    So far lousy product and very lousy service/support.

    To eject the disc - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50991
    Once you eject the disc, gently clean it before reinserting it. Some dvd drives are very fussy about the media.

  • IMac won't restart, "Disk full error"

    Shuts down soon after Apple, status wheel and status bar appear during startup. Tried safe mode, etc. and got "disk full error." "Could not be repaired."

    I think the store appointment would be safest.
    Of course, it's unix.
    You need to get into single use mode for steps one and two that are listed below.
    This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
    Basically, you hold down the command-s key then  powering on your machine. The command key has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar. On a PC keyboard, it will be the windows key, I think.
    # Type the follow two instructions to access the startup disk in read/write:
    # ( in case of partial success repeat this command until errors go away. )
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    the delete command is rm. note the file is gone. there is not recovery beside backup

  • I am getting a Photoshop CC "scratch disk full" error, but my scratch disk is C:/ and I have 40 gigs of free space - help!?!

    Why is Photoshop giving me this error when I'm not working on files that are that big given the amount of free space on my computer? They're around 1.5 megs each, .jpeg files (not even PSD files) and I'm only trying to resize them to smaller, nothing fancy at all. Can't even open and do one without getting the scratch disk full error - but it's not full when I look at my C:/ drive (even in PS when I check the scratch disks under Preferences you can see the multiple gigs free).
    Help anyone?
    Thanks!
    C

    The rule of thumb I follow to figure out scratch space says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open.  I have seen the scratch file exceed 800 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
    As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS.  I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.
    Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.

  • Clean Leopard Install - Can't get Photos back in Right (tripling, etc)

    Hi. I did a clean Leopard install then loaded my iLife '06. I have my "iPhoto Library" on my external. This contains folders 'originals', 'modified', 'data', and other accoutremonts. In iPhoto, I selected "Import" and thought things were going well till I saw 1) triple copies of each photo 2) no import of my tags for each photo, albums, folders, etc. I see 2000, 2001, 2002, etc. but no 'Canada Vacation', etc.
    So, knowing I still had them on my external, I deleted over 10,000 photos from iPhoto to start anew. Then I figured the triples were coming from 'originals', 'modified', 'data' so I tried just importing "originals". This put only 1 copy of the photo in iPhoto, but it's a jumbled mess with no tags, sections, etc.
    I checked the help section but am still not 'getting it'. Could someone point me in the right direction or explain what I should do here to get my iPhoto back to where it was pristine/organized? I'm befuddled.

    I fixed my problem by accident. I merely dragged my "iPhoto Library" from my external to "pictures" in my home directory.
