Disk space keeps dropping for no clear reason

Lately I have noticed that my disk space keeps dropping. At first I just thought I had more stuff than I realized, but it's getting ridiculous.
I only have about 12 gigs of music, which is my largest use of space.
Today I did an archive and install and as I delete the previous system components my memory keeps changing. A few minutes ago it was 675 MB left, now it's 617! And this is after DELETING some applications!
Does anybody know why this is happening?

You used the term "memory". We're not sure if you're referring to virtual memory or hard disk storage space. If your VM usage is dropping that is actually a good thing because it is freeing up space on your drive, and VM in the six hundreds for Tiger is pretty good. If you're talking about free disk space on your hard drive you are really pushing it close to the edge and are inviting serious computer problems. OSX requires a lot of free space to function properly; that's space it needs to write temporary files, etc. For example, my VM right now is about 4.7GB but I have seen it at 5.7. If I only had 0.6 GB left like you might only have, my computer would crash if I did something that made it need an extra 1 GB and it couldn't find it. You can check VM with the activity monitor application.

What does this mean? What is an extension HD?

HT1414 how much disk space is needed for backup and restore.

i want to unlock iphone,for this how much disk space is needed for backup and restore activiti

OK... now subtract the music. That's not part of the iPhone backup. Neither are apps, but in app data is.
Why are you asking? Did you get an error? If so, then clear out some disk space.

How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video?

If I'm using FCE:
1) How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video:
if I downloaded 150mins of HD video? and
do editing with it which will have an output of 120mins.
Now PC, going to a MAC user soon Windows XP

Hi(bonjour)!
As a rule of thumb for HDV editing, use those numbers:
12 to 15 meg/second for capturing ( your project is 150 minutes long, so 780 meg/minute, or 117 to 125 Gig).
If you do any editing, add transition, video effect, add 12 to 15 meg /second to the total.
As your project will have to be rendered for the print to tape operation, calculate 12 to 15 meg/second for all the length of your final movie. Add this amount to the total. (example: a 60 minutes movie : 49 Gig).
If you want to burn a DVD on your Mac, calculate 3 to 4 meg/second for downconversion to DV material if you check "self-contained" in quicktime export dialog. (example: your finished project is 60 minutes long : 10.8 Gig)
iDVD itself needs 3 to 4 times this amount if you want flawless operation.
Finally, if you use your internal hard disk for all this storage (it's not a good idea to capture on the same drive where Mac OS X belongs), your Mac OS needs some spare room to breath (doing caching, etc), and your hard drive must have a least 25% of free space to avoid file's fragmentation.
As hard drive's price drop, get the maximum size you can afford. 250 Gig is a good choice if you want to do just one project of 90 to 150 minutes at the time.

Satellite L645 keeps crashing for no apparent reasons

L645 keeps crashing for no apparent reasons. Sent to service centre and they could not find out what was causing it.
HELP!

Do you run any special applications while the system crashes?
How about memory module check?
I guess the service guys could not find any issues because they could not replicate this issue
I guess the notebook crashes sometimes and its not easy to replicate this right?

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone (3G) is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

Thank you for the replies.
Appearane of 'Music' functions (I>> > II <<I, plus volume slider) on the lock/log in screen (when first turning on the iPhone) thus far seems without pattern, i.e. regardless of which if any applications are up in the background, and indeed even when all have been quit.
All visual aspects of 'Music' appear normal after launch including the title scroll across the top in vertical mode. However, while pressing play (>) converts the play (>) icon to pause (II), selected song does not play and the elapsed time bar (upper end between the track count and the repeat/shuffle icons) remains stationary at 0:00 or at any point to which it is dragged. When using home sharing this same problem persists regardless of what output is selected.
Hope that may prompt a thought somewhere.

INS-32021 : Insufficient Disk Space on volume for the selected Oracle Home

Hi
I am trying to install Oracle 11g on my Red Hat Linux 5 (VMWare). I have completed all the pre-requisites realted to Kernel settings, creating groups, users, home and base directories. When I started running the 'runInstaller' and started the installation, it gave me an error saying...
'INS-32021 : Insufficient Disk Space on volume for the selected Oracle Home'.
Anyone any idea what is going on?

you haave to switch off vmware add new disk from vmware console. then using format tool you can add partition for unallocated space. and add them in volume.
space increase by adding new disk.

this is quickest process will help adding disk space .

Oracle taking 3 times more disk spaces than MySQL for BLOBs?

Hello there,
We have been migrating one big about 8 TB MySQL table into Oracle 11g R2. The table contains biometric data in 18 BLOB columns - it's a kind of storage table for all biometric information in the form of BLOB. The avg. row length is about 140KB. We had a rough estimation - it might take about 12 TB of disk spaces after migrating the thing into Oracle. We planned to put this table in a 32K bock size tablespace. The table contains about 85 million records.
After we finished loading the data, we discovered that about 20 millions of records already consumed more than 7 TB of disk spaces! In this fashion, we might end up with consuming 30TB of disk spaces after loading the 85 million of records. The only thing at this moment I am thinking about is to reduce the PCTFREE parameter to 2% instead of 10% - the records will be very rarely updated. This will save about 2TB of disk spaces from that 30TB, I guess.
On top of your head, do you have any quick thoughts about the possible reasons of such abnormal (?) disk consumption - it is taking about 3 times more disk than MySQL database. What would be the best way to debug the problem - where to look at?
FYI- All the storage parameters of the table has been kept default - just mentioned the tablespace name while created the table. We have been using SQL*Loader with DIRECT mode to load the data.
Thanks for your cooperation!
Regards.

Hi,
We are using the old BLOB - and not compressed yet.
The machine is not remotely accessible, I will get the DDL later on.
FYI, we did not mention any storage option for the table except the tablespace name. Earlier, I looked at the dba_lobs, dba_segments, dba_extents and had the following few information -
* All the blob columns has "initial_extent" 163840 [from dba_segments]
* Block allocation gradually increased, not uniform (extent_id 1 -> blocks 2, ... extent_id 14 -> blocks 32... extent_id 77 -> blocks 256... extent_id 938 -> blocks 2048 [from dba_extents]
* CHUNK is 32768 for all lob segments
* RETENTION is 900
* No value for PCTVERSION
Thanks for your time!

Disk space keeps decreasing! Help :(

Hello,
I don't understand what's going on with my MacBook. After closing Safari last night, it informed me I was getting low on drive space and so I checked it and it was literally 0Kb. Normally I have at least 8gb free so I don't know how this happened? When I began to delete things I didn't need (pictures, etc) to see if it made any difference, I literally watched the numbers keep falling right in front of me.
I restarted, and the space went up to just over 1gb.
After reading some forums, I downloaded Disk Inventory X and it showed me the invisible /private file. I read on a Mac forum that it's normal for this file to become a few gigs to 5 or 6, but mine is 36.9gb. Is this my problem? I don't understand what is going on. When I restart my computer the disk space usually goes back up, and as it stays on it decreases.
What is going on here and how do I fix it? Thanks

How much Minimum Disk Space is Required for Time Machine?

Are there any recommendations from Apple for the size of external hard drive for Time Machine?
Also, is there any formula for the amount of hard drive space = how any days, months, or years of backup available?
Sorry about the poorly worded question.

Size of HD = IBS + [30*DCD + 487*DCD]NM
or
Size of HD = IBS + 365NMDCD
where
IBS = Initial Backup Size (GBs)
NM = Number of Months wanted before HD fills
DCD = Daily Churn Data in GBs
So lets say
IBS=160 GB
NM=24 (2 years wanted before having to worry about disk full)
DCD=0.05 GB of daily churned data on average (50 MB of changed and new data)
Size of HD = 160 + 365240.05 = 598 GB
If you wanted just NM = 12 then the HD size should be around 350 to 400 GB
Much depends on how many months you want to go before being bothered with disk full and how much average daily data churn you have.
Note that TM will make much effort to clean up old data that can be safely deleted before giving up when disk becomes full. It will also provide you with the opportunity to clean up old backups yourself to free up space.
Of course you can always re-format the TM backup HD and start over again but you obviously lose your TM backup history. You can also to decide you can delete the oldest 6 months of data and keep the more recent history to continue on with thr freed up disk space.

IMac keeps crashing for no apparent reason

For the last couple of days my iMac has been crashing for no apparent reason. The only thing I have done that is new is to download, install and play Tomb Raider, from the app store. Each time I have has a crash I have run disk doctor and had no disk errors, and only a minor permissions error.
The following is an EtreCheck report, and also the latest crash report. Would appreciate any help I can get.

Critical disk space! desperate for help!

here is the story. all of a sudden, my hard disk is telling me i have somehow filled 71.69 of 74.4 GB of disk space. the largest of these volumes on the HD is the Users folder in my Home folder. i did some research, and i heard that some console messages can tell someone about problems concerning volumes growing to unchecked sizes. i saw a series of messages in my "console.log" reading:
"Excessive update rate for jasonedwards@Jason Edwards’ Computer.presence.tcp.local.;"
does this mean anything at all? does anyone know? my computer is at critical mass, and as a musician, i am loathe to move all my music files to an external hard drive i cannot afford.
Please help!
-Jason

mr.spanky --
If you're uncomfortable with working with the Terminal,
you can download a free app called "Whatsize" which
will tell you what it taking up the space.
Here's where to find it:

Just a little other very friendly advice here --
You said:

If you're a serious musician, you can't afford NOT to get an external drive.
They cost about $80, and will save hours and hours of your work.
If you lost all of your music due to losing HD space,how much would that be worth? A lot more than $80, I bet.
All the best . . .

Disk space keeps dropping for no clear reason
