Download error: disk was full

I am trying to watch an episode of Dexter. Apple tv has been working fine all evening, now I am getting a message saying download error: disk was full (-34). Whats the problem and how do I fix it?

I had the same problem. The Apple TV (first generation) was set to streaming, so it being "full" didn't entirely make sense. What's more, it meant that the options to remove content were not available. I finally solved the problem by resetting the Apple TV to its factory settings and starting over. It won't even allow me to choose "Streaming" for setting it up now. So I have it set up as a "Synching" Apple TV.

Window pops up saying can not complete request data base error, disk is full

Window pops up saying can not complete request data base error, disk is full

I am using the latest ID version with update and I am using a Mac running 10.9.5. This all started when I tried to make a PDF file from a pub I was working on. The application made the file but went into a spinning beach ball and I had to force quit. Now the window pops up when I open ID and also when I am working on a documents.

I'm new to the MAC world. I turned my computer on from 'sleep' mode, and a window was up stating that the IOS disk was full; asked me to force quit, then it just froze. It's been 2 hours. Help! I'm worried about losing photos/videos of my children. Thx!

I'm worried about losing photos/videos of my children. Im not sure if there's something special I need to do once I turn it back on; in the meantime, its still on... which I'm afraid the picture on the screen will burn into the screen. Does that happen on iMac's? Thx!

Try a hard reset. ( holding Power til it restarts)
Once to your desktop. Click the Apple icon >> About this mac >> More info>> Storage
Once you see what you have the most of. Try to see what you can delete.
Open up any folder>>all files>> or buy an external to store more data.
Once deleting make sure you empty your trash.
If you are new and its a new computer, you might need to bring it to a store for further assistence.

Thanks
I had this answer : When you copy data from one drive to another, it is not removed from the first drive — you need to trash it as the second step in the process of "moving" it. Then empty the trash.
Sorry I understand the answer but I'm not very good...how to "trash it as the second step in the process of moving it"...I already emptied my trash and don't know where to go o trash another time the files...can you explain the process.
Thank you very much

Hi lluiset,
Let's try this example.
If I have a file on my Desktop and copy it to an external HD it copies the file, it does not move it. I'd then need to take that file and move it to the trash can (click on it, hold and drag over the trash can icon in the Dock). Another option is to right click (or hold the Control button and mouse click), then select "Move to Trash" followed by emptying the trash.
Hope that helps.

We will try this on Word. But what about Excel?

Start up disk was full and i guess I changed the start up disk by error and now I can't see the dock and not able to change back to original start up disk

I tried to delete start up disk files and messed up, galaxy screen only comes after I log in, no dock, won't take start up disk, can't get to utilities to try and fix it

This document should help. It sounds like you just need to reinstall the OS using the install DVD's that came with your system.

ERROR - Disk was not ejected properly...

I am getting this error code more and more recently.
I can't even back up my iMac with my external HD.
HELP!?!

Run Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Disk Utility, if not you can find it in Applications-Utilities-Disk Utility.
When it's open select your internal HD on the left, click the First Aid tab and then run Repair Disk Permissions. Also make sure the external HD is connected correctly, make sure a cable hasn't been damaged or come loose.
If that doesn't fix it then try to reset the SMC and if the SMC doesn't fix it try resetting the PRAM. Here are instructions for resetting the SMC and PRAM.
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
_PRAM RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.

I have a MacBook Pro. I was gone for 30 days and when I got back it tells me that my startup disk is full. I have a 500 GB drive and it shows that I have about 500 MB available. It constantly changes. How do I fix this?

I have a MacBook Pro that is telling me my startup disk is full. I left for 30 days and when I came back to use it, it tells me that the disk was full out of 500 GB. I don't have that much on it and it was perfectly fine when I left. I Verified the disk through disk utility and it told me it had issues so then I repaired it and it said everything is fine. It still says the hard drive is full. How do I fix this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Finder says Home Disk is full, utilities say I've only used 93Gb of 232Gb

Earlier this evening I all of a sudden got an alert that my disk was full, 232Gb. 0Gb remaining.
It said I needed to renove some files. I tried. I removed about 10 Gb, but it didn't give me any more space.
I booted from my Clone to to see if I could run dik utility repair. It came up saying the disk was fine.
Repaired Permissions. Everything came up OK there too.
I ran Disk Warrior from it;s disk and it came up stating that I was only using 93Gb of 232Gb. (Which is what I remembered and was about how much my recent Carbon Copy Clone added up to)
I tried WhatSize and it said the same. I'm currently waiting for a license for Tager Cache Cleaner to see if it will help. None of the utilities is finding any hidden large files.
I've also tried backing up the mail folder and removing Envelope Index, but, of course, that made Mail crash since it's being told there's no room on the hard drive. I'm totally stumped.
I imagine there's some corrupt file somewhere, but I'm not getting a fix on it.
Recent changes to the drive - I upgraded to 10.4.9 a few ays ago. Had to install a third party driver for my HP PSC 2175 - hpijs-foomatic-2.0.2.
Printer stopped working earlier today and I had to reinstall CUPS and then the driver again before printer would work. Sortly thereafter that I got the error message about disk full.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

I just found this discussion at the MacFixIt forums. You might read it carefully, and also take a look at the MacOSXHints article mentioned:

I have a batch of those job history files as well so thought I would try removing them and see what happened. I first got myself a root shell:
NoobiX:~ francine$ sudo -s
Hit return and entered my password, hit return again, then changed directory:
NoobiX:~ root# cd /private/var/spool/cups
Hit return and ran a list command:
NoobiX:/private/var/spool/cups root# ls -al
total 304
drwx--x--- 41 root lp 1394 Mar 26 21:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 238 Aug 3 2006 ..
-rw------- 1 root lp 3571 Aug 24 2006 c00001
-rw------- 1 root lp 3574 Aug 24 2006 c00002
-rw------- 1 root lp 3505 Dec 8 00:24 c00003
....and so on.... down to
-rw------- 1 root lp 3531 Mar 26 21:59 c00038
drwxrwx--T 2 root lp 68 Dec 21 22:37 tmp
Which verified I was in the right place. I tried removing just one of the files:
NoobiX:/private/var/spool/cups root# rm c00001
which worked fine. I then decided doing this would be tedious, so tried this:
NoobiX:/private/var/spool/cups root# rm -r *
There is a space between the rm and -r and after -r before the * (a wildcard). That was probably a mistake since it not only nuked the history files but also the tmp directory. I should have probably used something like rm -r "c*" (since all the history files begin with c that should have got them and spared the tmp folder). I tried recreating the tmp folder with this:
NoobiX:/private/var/spool/cups root# mkdir tmp
Which seemed to work:
NoobiX:/private/var/spool/cups root# ls -al
total 0
drwx--x--- 3 root lp 102 Jun 7 12:00 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 238 Aug 3 2006 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root lp 68 Jun 7 12:00 tmp
But being a suspicious sort I ran Disk Utility to Repair Permissions and it did indeed report an error on the /private/var/spool/cups/tmp folder, but it did repair the permissions on the folder successfully, so I'm assuming all is now OK. Of course, I haven't actually tried printing anything yet...
If you choose to try this after you finish type exit and hit return to kill the root shell, then quit Terminal.

HT201210 startup disk is full-what does this mean and what do I do?

When syncing my iphone I get an error message that said my start up disk was full. Now it won't backup my phone to my computer. What does that mean and what do I do?

Click on your hard drive once. Then File > Get Info. What does it report there for space (capacity and "available")? Have you emptied the Trash (Finder > Empty Trash)? If you have truly filled up you hard drive then it is critical you copy files off onto an external hard drive soon. Macs need a lot of free drive space at all times and you may experience frequent crashes, slow down, and file loss if you don't free up space (15+ GB at all times at least)..

Mac Mini Not booting due to hard disk being full

Hello All,
I have a Mini and has worked well for the past 12 months, last week i upgraded to the OSX Lion which also went very smoothly. However yesterday i had a message on my screen stating the my startup disk was full and i needed to make space. finding this a little odd as I have a TB external hard drive that everything goes to.
the mini frose during the deletion process after leaving for approx an hour i attempted to reboot. from this point i have only been able to access the disk utility through the DVD that came with the mini I have done a disk check and repair, also check permission all are ok exept for only having 49mb of hd space left.
I cant access safe mode as this will not boot either (tried to load for 8 hours) re install will also not work due to the amount of hd space available
has anyone got any ideas how i can clean the hard disk without formatting as ideally i would like to know what is causing the problem.
like a not very bright thing i left the time machine turned off so this isnt an option either??

Ok, basically it would involve the following
Boot from the DVD
Launch the Terminal.app probably from a Utilities menu which also lists Disk Utility
In Terminal you would need to type cd /Users/accountname/.Trash followed by pressing the return key
Then you would type ls -l and again press return
It would then list what is in the trash for that user account. If it begins with a D it is a folder, otherwise it is likely a file. The big number before the data would give an idea of the size of the item.
When you have found the one you want to delete (remember you cannot undo this) you would type the following to delete a file rm filename and then press return again.
The do ls -l again to see if the file has gone.
If you want to delete a folder that is in the trash then the command would be rm -r foldername and then again press return. Using rm -r is a particularly dangerous command if you do it in the wrong place or the wrong way you could delete everything on the hard disk.
Normally in single user mode (which you said was not working) you have to type some other commands beforehand to allow modifying the contents of the hard disk. I have not tried this via the DVD so I do not know if the same applied. If it does it is likely to refuse to delete the file and you should come back to me and we can work out the process.

Time machine disk is full - may have inadvertent backups

Hi,
A couple weeks ago I cloned my MacBook Pro and forgot about it and went to bed. Is it possible that it got backed up to my Timemachine hard disk as a separate Mac? If yes, does anyone know how I may find and remove it? I've also left this clone and a separate installation on another partition plugged in though booted from my internal hard drive. Could that have been backed up too and how would I remove that?
I'm asking because my MBP has a 320 gb hard disk and the Time Machine back up disk is 1 TB and had something like 600 GB available a few weeks ago.
Last night it stopped the back up and said the disk was full and sure enough there's less than 1 GB available.
I've never run into a full Time Machine disk, and I don't want to toss away old stuff for multiple copies of the past few weeks so if anyone can advise what to do to trouble shoot I will be grateful.

Ok. After poking around I discovered the two external partitions did get backed up. So I went into System prefs > Time Macine and turned them off.
Now the question is will Time Machine delete them automatically or do I have to go hunting for them to delete them?

Downloading Movie From ITunes- "Disk is full error"

I am trying to download a large file from the iTunes store and I keep getting an error saying it can't download because "the disk you are attempting to use is full." It is not full, I have over 11 GB available. I thought perhaps a .tmp file was created but there is none in my downloads folder. When I try to download itunes doesn't even seem to make an effort, it just instantly gives me that error message. Any help? I'm using itunes 9.0.2.

Then do what it says.
If the disk is full, remove files and clean out recycle bin for additional space.
Start -> My Computer.
How big is the drive and ho wmuch free space is there?
