Disk space not found

tried to partition using bootcamp while installing win 7...in between the process, power went off.......now i lost 250 gb space coz it is not showing it anywhere

There are numerous utilties available to inventory your HD so you can see where the space went. If you Google something like "Where is my disk space OS X" you will find them. One I've used was Grand Perspective, you can find it at:

If that doesn't help you you may be forced to do an erase and install of you HD and restore from either your Time Machine or Bootable Clone backup.

Disk recording not found...

im running itunes 8.0 and windows vista. I was trying to back up my library today and i got the message "Disk recording not found..." is there anyway i can fix this?

Scooter60201,
Does repairing iTunes resolve the issue?
To do so, close iTunes and navigate to the Control Panel >Programs and Features / Uninstall a program, select iTunes and choose "Change" and then choose "Repair".
Hope this helps,

Hi cam725,
First off, do you have the latest version of iTunes (7.3.1.3) installed on your computer?
To download the latest version, go to this page:

If that doesn't help, then let's see if this is being caused by digital signing issues on your PC. Check out this article for details:

Disk Space not restored after deleting iphone backup

Hi,
Today while restoring my iphone i realised that itunes had made multiple copies of ~3gb of my iphone data. Since my iphone was restored successfully I decided to remove all the backups and make a fresh new backup. After deleting the multiple backups I found that my available disk space had not increased at all. I even went to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and ther was nothing in there. So I went ahead and made a new backup which consumed additional ~3gb. And just to test if it was only itunes that was doing this I deleted my photos from iphoto ~5gb and even that did not give me back my 5gb. I went to trash and I dont have anything there.
So, here I am confused as to where my deleted stuff is going to because it does not seem like its getting deleted.
Anything that i can do get my space back?
Thanks,
Yogi

Local snapshots are hidden copies of files that have been changed or deleted in between Time Machine snapshots. They are stored in free space that would otherwise be unused, and therefore wasted. The space occupied by the snapshots is managed automatically. When free space starts to run low, the snapshots are deleted. The Finder reports the space occupied by local snapshots as "Available," which it is.
If there are unwanted changes to your files in between Time Machine snapshots — which may be far apart when you're moving around with a portable computer — you may be able to revert the changes from a local snapshot. If you disable local snapshots, you lose that protection, and you gain nothing. There is no offsetting benefit whatsoever; merely added risk.
Empty storage space is simply wasted. You paid for it to be there, but it's doing you no good at all. Local snapshots put it to use.
Very rarely, if ever, you might need to delete the local snapshot store in order to add a large amount of data all at once. If that need ever arises, which it probably won't, all you have to do is turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane, and then turn it back ON immediately.
You should ignore the bad advice that circulates on this site to disable local snapshots permanently by running a shell command. If you ran such a command, ask for instructions on how to reverse it.

Time Machine won't restore a critical backup - disk space not sufficient error

Using Time Machine Restore Backup says my Macintosh HD has 55 GB available. I need to restore a 50GB Time Machine Backup from an external disk to the Macintosh HD device as the transfer destination of the restore copy it it gives me a message 'This Disk does not have enough space to restore your system'. In fact trying to restore all my many time backups over the past months give the same error even though the backup size is less then my Macintosh HD destination.
So I used the Time Machine software to delete many of my documents in the backup that I want to restore, now it is 30 GB through the Time machine finder, but restoring still gives me the same error. However, time machine made a new backup of my system today of 30 GB but when I go through the backup process using this, there is no error about there not being enough space.
It seems although the finder in Time Machine recognises that file is just 30 GB, in the restore process it doesn't recognise that file has been reduced to 30GB

If you're trying to add a large amount of data all at once, and you get an alert of insufficient space, then from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Time Machine
If the padlock icon is closed, click it to unlock the settings and authenticate. Turn Time Machine OFF, then back ON and close the preference pane. Restart the computer. Test.

Available disk space not correct

I'm using a MacBook Pro (March 2011) running 10.6.8.
I just deleted (technically backed up to an external raid and then deleted from the system disk) about 8gb worth of files.
However, in Finder and in Disk Utility, it shows 1.96GB available. That number is up a little and for awhile at least, was growing.
I'm also experiencing this same problem on an external USB drive. I deleted about 3 gb worth of files, but the available disk
space hasn't increased.
I'm coming from the PC world, where, if you delete a bunch of stuff, the free disk space magically increases to show the correct amount.
What gives?
Thanks,
Larry

Thanks.
I thought about that but a Genius at a local Apple store told me that whatever's in the Trash doesn't impact the total free disk space.
I suppose this means not all the Genuises (Geni?) are Geniuses?
Thanks,
Larry

"Disk Burner Not Found..." My turn -

Or, "When does the Help Reply 72 hour response start?"
First of all, thank you, and you know who you are, for the fix to the Burner Not Found issue. This little rant is simply to help others who will have the same problem as I.
Im brand new to iPods and the like, and it was the Nano that got me hooked very impressive. I also was very impressed with iTunes too.
After I imported all my CDs I decided to burn backup some DVDs mostly cause I could. And I was able to, well at least three of them. Then, admittedly for reasons I dont recall, I did a firmware update for my DVD (and yes, I got the right one).
Thats when iTunes started to give me the Disk Burner or Software Not Found error. What seemed odd to me was that I could still Import a CD, in the Preferences - Advanced - Burning tab, the disk burner iTunes couldnt find was listed. And, with other software, burning a disk worked just fine.
I did as many as you did, I removed iTunes (saving my music under a different name, and location), reinstalled iTunes with the same results.
Finally, I found you good people, and read the fix, well part of the fix. I tried putting my burner in the first Asus grouping I found the in gcdoem.cfg that didnt work, so I did as someone else here did, I put it in every grouping I found that already had an Asus burner listed which worked.
So, thank you.
Oh, then the funny part. When I restarted iTunes, I got this message Could not find your preferred Disk Burner. Ok to use E: ASUS DRW-1608P (ATAE:) instead?
Ah, my preferred burner? that would be the only one I have
Phat
p.s. Could someone explain to me, why in the config file, almost every grouping of burners calls the same dll?
Weird.

Hey Phat
This seems to be the same problem I've got and exactly the same burner. But when I add the entries to gcdoem.cfg I still have the same problem. Could you show me exactly the entries you added just incase I've done it wrong.

Free disk space not changing after deleting (large) photos

Hi,
I wasn't sure whether to post this on the iPhoto board or on the MBA one, since it's not clear if it's a system-level issue or not. Anyway, I had about 30GB of free space on my 256GB MBA and the other day I deleted four or five albums of photos from my DSLR that I'd downloaded to my computer, after I made backups of them elsewhere. In total there were about 3,500 photos, roughly 24MB each on average. I made sure that after deleting them, I deleted my iPhoto Trash as well as the system Trash. Neverless, my level of free space hardly budged and if anything, it decreased slightly. I've read several threads saying to wait a while as sometimes the system takes a delay to adjust - that's fine.
It's now almost five days later and the situation remains the same, if not worse. I ran DaisyDisk and aside from the usual large folders (my movies in iTunes etc, none of which had been added to since I deleted all those photos), the only one I couldn't recognise was this folder iLifeAssetManagement (9GB). I know that there are a few threads about this one, and most people seem to suggest you can clear this if you're happy to lose the content in your Photo Stream. The thing is, I've looked through some of the images in this folder and I'm quite positive that a number of them are from the DSLR albums (there are CR2 files, which I believe is Canon's exclusive RAW format). Some of the others are definitely from my iCloud Photo stream. I'm more than glad to lose all the DSLR ones, though I'd like to keep the iCloud ones and I don't really want to have to sort through 5,000-odd files. I'm positive that this folder is related to why I never gained that free space.
Has anybody else had issues like this and any suggestions for clearing this folder of all the files I already meant to delete, whilst keeping the others? Or have you had issues relating to this? Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.

If you've installed third-party software called "Disk Drill," I suggest you remove it according to the developer'sinstructions. If you prefer to keep the software, refer to the developer for support. Otherwise, see below.
You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed.

"Cannot sync ; required disk cannot not found"

haha this is now the 2nd shuffle I have plugged into my computer and can no longer load any songs onto it and have deleted existing songs on 1. (1 being brand new and one being the shuffle I have always used with this computer). I go to transfer 1 song (I have even tried autofill) and it pauses for the longest time and then gives me the error "The Ipod "name" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found". Anyone know what this "disk" happens to be?? I have yet to try with my Ipod mini in fear that I will erase all the songs off of there as well. Ive done the 5R's and all that mess...but Im hoping someone here has had a similar problem?
thanks!!

Unallocated disk space not showing up in disk management

I have an HP Proliant dl 380 running Windows 2008. My c:\drive was built on a 33 gig raid 1 partition. I am almost out of drive space. I have tried this method before on Windows server 2000 and it worked. However this time it did not. I took one
of the 33 gig drives out and put a 146 gig drive in it's place. I let the mirror rebuild itself. When it was done I put the other 146 gig drive in and let it rebuild. Now I still have the 33 gig partition but when I ran disk management
the unallocated space did not show up so I cannot extend the volume. I tried to rescan the drives and have device manager rescan as well but no go. I talked with hp and they had me update the firmware of the raid card and restart but still nothing.
Can anyone help?

Time Machine can't back up to Time Capsule because disk is not found

Hello all. I have been using TC as my router for a few years and backing up to it. I got a new router through my IP which I think might be faster so just want to use TC as backup. However, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I connected the TC to the new router via Ethernet cable but the message says TM can't find it. I guess I don't understand the logic of what is happening with TC and router. Is there something special I should be doing. I have always had the TC configured as I was using it both ways. Should I be changing the configuration?
Macbook Pro. Running Mavericks. Thanks

You must reset the TC to factory regardless.. in any new situation it will be lost.. it need to full factory reset and start over.
A factory reset of the TC is the start.. it is required so you can find it again.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
Then redo the setup from the computer .
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
Not all of that is necessary.. but at least the factory reset and new naming.. then reset the TM again and select the TC as the location for the backup.
It will say it is going to start a new backup but it should discover the existing one and after a bit of verification continue from where it left off.

Used disk space not showing up in finder

A friend has asked me to look into his external hard drive issue.
He got it back from a store that backed up his start-up drive to this external the other day to discover that there isn't any visible files on the drive. It does state that there is 100 gigs being used on the drive, the exact size of his back up, but there isn't one file or folder on the drive.
I've used tinkertools to see if there was any hidden files with no luck and I've also repaired and verified the permission.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I don't want to simply re-format without a clue why the 100 gigs isn't showing.
