Drive Filling Up

My hard drive keeps filling up--to the point of getting error messages.
In this case, I am using an older G4/400Mhz. It only has a 30Gb internal Hard Drive, which has 6.48 Gb available. All I use this for is Safari (when my main computer is busy) and FTP uploading (to take that burden off the main computer). Safari and Fetch, no other programs are open. Yet, quickly, sometimes after being left on overnight with one web page open, suddenly the hard drive is full. What is filling up? I have been searching for caches, or where the storage bulge might be, but can't find it. When nothing is open, over a 5 minute period of time I watch the hard drive go back to its former size, incrementally, 1 Gb at a time. Meaning, first it shows I have 1.48 Gb available, then 2.48 Gb, then 3.48, then 4.48 etc. At 6.48 it seems to stop, though maybe it is my patience that stops there.
What is going on here?

At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Also, open Console in Utilities, and watch for clues if yhat doesn't help.

How do I get my Mac to recognize external drive filled with 5 projects, created at Apple Store?

How do I get my Mac to recognize external drive filled with 5 projects, created at Apple Store? I created 6 hrs worth of projects on computer in apple store with my external. came home my computer did not recognize it at all. went back to apple, they said oh click the news reel bottom left that will do it, came back home and nope....not recognizing it, in fact it says no events exist on this disc. I want to get the 5 projects and put up on vimeo tonight. ugh.

Hi Tom,
I'm so impressed with how you help everyone solve their problems. I will do my best here, but my husband will be home soon and knows how this large external is formatted.
How late do you all work there? I'm on east coast. Is the screen shot you wanted? I opened up external and
this is what I see.
Drive is connected to usb in back of computer. N

Boot Hard Drive fills up in a few days - can't find any data

This is weird. OS X server 10.4.11 on a G5 Mac has been running fine as a file server for ages.
It has 3 drives. The boot disk is 120Gb.
The other 2 are 250Gb each.
The boot disk as nothing on it and is not shared but it was completely full. I couldn't find any large files on it or anything that would be filling it up. The sum of the folder sizes add up to less than 20Gb.
So I formatted completely and reinstalled everything. Within a week it was full again.
It seams to be filling up with hidden files.
What is going on ?

OK, when I show hidden files. I have found that the following files are growing right before my eyes...
System.log
mail.log
asl.log
log.smbd
Can I turn off logging. Any ideas ?

Hard Drive Filling Up On It's Own, Even After I Delete Files

Okay so I have a macbook pro version 10.6.8. and I don't really know much about computers, so if you can help me and take it slow that would be greatly appreciated! I don't know anything about logs, but by reading some of the other questions, it seems like there might be a problem with those? My computer was running fine until the other day I deleted about 2,000 images (I'm a photographer) off of my computer and on to an external hard drive . When I deleted them, my storage suddenly went from about 186 GB to 15 GB and ever since I have been getting a message saying that my start up disk is full or almost full. I deleted about 6 GB of songs from my itunes this morning (and emptied the trash can) and it said I had about 8 GB free and then an hour later I was back to about 300 MB. I don't want to keep deleting things if it is just going to keep filling back up but I'm not really sure what to do. The computer as a whole has also been running really slow but I just assumed that was because I had so much stored on the drive? Please help!Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: I went through finder trying to find any big files and one of my email accounts was taking up 231 GB of recovered mail. I deleted all of them and so far so good, but how do I stop this from happening again? It seems to be saving the exact same email once about every five minutes and it had been for months.

Try using GrandPerspective to see what's taking up all the space.
Also, make sure everything you don't need is turned off under Sharing; it's possible that you left file sharing on without a password and someone is taking advantage of that.
If you have a MobileMe account, do you have iDisk Syncing turned on? Or something similar if you have Dropbox or another similar service?

Hard Drive and External Hard drive filled up instantly?

While using my Mac today, I came up with a dialogue box saying my hard drive (and external hard drive) are both full. This is strange because this morning I had over 30GB on my internal hard drive, and between 100GB and 300GB on my external hard drive.
How can both of these fill up at once?
I had uploaded approximately 100 photos to my external hard drive this morning, but there was still plenty room then.
What is going on?

HI Matt,
Get Disk Inventory so you can see exact sizes of files and folders.
*"I came up with a dialogue box saying my hard drive (and external hard drive) are both full. This is strange because this morning I had over 30GB on my internal hard drive, and between 100GB and 300GB on my external hard drive."*
Not sure what's going on but it would be a good time to boot from your install disk and check the hard drive.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart

Hard drive filled up after I did back up using Superduper

I bought a new Macbook Air. I was going to back up my old Macbook Air data onto an external drive before I set up the new Macbook Air. Also my old Macbook Air (1.86 GHz, 120GB HDD) had a broken hinge and I was going to take it to the Apple A/S center to have the hinge repaired. So I wanted to back up my data just in case.
I have backed up the data from the old Macbook Air using the same external drive twice before using Superduper and it seemed to go fine both occasions. I have OS 10.6.0 on the old Macbook Air.
I am typing this on the new Macbook Air by the way (2.16GHz, 256 GB, 4GB memory).
I use the unregistered version of the Superduper that requires you to erase and then do a full backup.
I plugged in the external drive using a powered USB hub. (On previous occasions I have used a USB cord that plugs into two computers, as one computer doesn't provide enough power; this time I forgot to set up the second computer and just plugged it into the hub. The blue light came up on the external drive when I plugged it in.)
It came up with "Untitled", an orange icon, on the Superduper window. It asked me whether I want to copy Macintosh HD to "Untitled". I pressed "OK".
It started copying.
Then I was doing something nearby the computer and accidentally tugged on the lid of the Macbook Air. The hinge is broken and as soon as I touched the Macbook Air lid, the lid laid flat on the table, with the laptop completely open. It does that occasionally because the hinge is broken and the slightest pressure on the lid means it will spring right open (180 degrees).
I checked the Superduper window and it seemed to be copying OK. The number of files copied was going up and up.
However I got a message that said that I hadn't ejected the disk properly and that could damage the disk.
I assumed that meant the external drive "Untitled". I thought I should end the copying and start again.
So I quit Superduper. Something strange happened after that. I can't remember what it was exactly. I think it didn't want to quit. I had to use Force Quit.
I then unplugged and plugged the external drive back into the hub. I opened Superduper. This time it had "Untitled 2".
I thought that was strange, and I restarted the computer hoping to see "Untitled" in the Superduper after restarting the computer and opening Superduper again.
However, I got "Untitled 2" again even though the icon of the external hard drive was labeled "Untitled" on my Desktop.
(I think this is where I went wrong.)
I pressed copy again. About halfway through it suddenly stopped and said that the copying had failed.
I unplugged the external hard drive and plugged it in again, and restarted the computer. I opened Superduper again and this time I could not get it to copy. The copy part was grayed out.
I opened Disk Utility and checked the "Untitled" disk. It said it was fine. Verify was OK.
But when I checked the Macintosh HD I got all these error messages and the volume was full. 105GB was used up and 0 GB was available.
Very strange as I had about 20GB available before I tried to do the backup. (I checked the disk capacity of the HD before I did the backup.) I knew for sure that my hard drive was not full before I did the backup.
I tried to repair it but it didn't work. It told me to restart using the operating disk and use First Aid.
I put in the Snow Leopard operating disk in the Superdrive and restarted the computer holding down "C".
The operating disk came up, I chose English and chose Disk Utility. I tried repair. It gave messages that the Library Core had been changed. It said the disk was repaired and OK now. However, the volume was still 105 GB with about 12MB available (before I did the Disk Utility using the OS disc, I deleted a few music files.)
I just restarted the computer after having removed the Superdrive from the computer and it took like twenty minutes to restart. It has restarted though finally (while I am typing this).
I don't know what to do. I don't know what I did to corrupt the disk. I do not want to make things worse. So far the Desktop looks unchanged.
I can't do anything because it seems the computer's hard drive is full eg. browse the internet properly – it keeps coming up with error messages about Preferences being changed.
I think the disk got full because I inadvertently was backing up onto the computer's hard drive (the 'Untitled 2' was probably somewhere on the hard drive of the computer, and not the external hard drive.
I am worried that I have wrecked the back up drive and I have ruined the MBA's hard drive.
What should I do?
Should I just delete some files including program files and free up some space at least 2 GB? I can delete heavy duty program files like Adobe Creative Suite from Applications. (I have the disks so I can always reinstall them again.) What about deleting MS Office? (I have the disk for that.) Will doing that affect the Photoshop files and the Word files I already have?
What do you recommend I delete so that I can free up lots of space?
And how do I find what is filling up my laptop and why there is almost zero GB left on my hard drive. If I did do a backup onto the hard drive where do I find this and how can I delete it?
I was planning to do the backup and on the new MBA do a migration of everything on the backup using the Superdrive – a clone. I have done this before (when I bought the old MBA) and it worked (I did clean install a few times when I mucked up the hard drive in the past and restored the clone that was on the backup external drive onto the computer).
How can I tell if the external drive that I tried backing up onto is OK?
I thought I would check here before I did anything in case I made things worse.
I am going to use the latest operating system on the new Macbook Air. I have read here that 10.6.0 is risky – all your data can suddenly be erased.
I will also update the old Macbook Air to 10.6.4 once I have got things fixed on it.
Thanks for any advice.

There may be one or more large folders in your /Volumes folder that shouldn't be there and are using up your disk space.
/Volumes is an 'invisible" folder at the root level of your internal drive which is supposed to contain only the "mount points" for your attached disk volumes, but sometimes an actual folder can mistakenly get created there, often as a result of a failed copy operation such as you experienced with SuperDuper. Such a "ghost" folder will have a name similar to a real external drive, and can contain data that was meant for the real external drive but never got there. When the real external volume then re-mounts, it can no longer use its own name for the mount point in /Volumes because that name is already "taken", and so an extra number gets appended to the mount point. This may have happened twice in your situation, since the actual drive is now mounting as "Untitled 2".
/Volumes is a hidden folder, but it's easy to peek into it. First you should *eject and then physically disconnect all external drives*. Then:
Finder>Go menu> Go to Folder
enter /Volumes and click Go
You should see an alias to the startup volume. Don't touch this, or any other aliases. Do you also see a large folder named "Untitled, and perhaps another folder named "Untitled 1," which are not aliases? If so, delete them, and restart.

External drive filling up with TM

I set up TM a few days ago and have been very happy with it until tonight when I realised that my external disk is filling up very quickly. Let me explain...
I have a 320GB Lacie disk with about 300GB actually available to use. After my first TM backup I was left with about 100GB spare - plenty I thought. However, after checking tonight I see I only have 60GB spare and yet I've hardly touched the computer and certainly not created any large files, at this rate the drive will be full in another week or so.
I'm guessing that in order for TM to go back in hourly increments it's saving duplicates of various files and this is what is filling up the drive. In the meantime I've turned TM off to only do manual backups a lot less regularly, but this is sort of defeating the purpose.
I have a folder on my external HD for every hourly backup TM has done, is it safe delete all but the most recent backup folder and start afresh?

OK, the Windows partition is now excluded. I've erased the disk and am going to start again. I've attempted to alter the TM .plist script as outlined here to alter the hourly back ups to daily...
'If you think Time Machine backs up too often (or not often enough) for your liking, navigate into /System » Library » LaunchDaemons. There you'll find a file named com.apple.backupd-auto.plist. Open it in your favorite text editor, and look for this section:
<key>StartInterval</key>
<integer>3600</integer>
Change the 3600 number to some other time interval in seconds, and you'll have changed Time Machine's backup interval.'
But I don't have permissions to alter and re-save the file even after tweaking permissions in the Get Info window. I think I'll leave TM to do it's hourly and then weekly archive an reassess the situation after that.

Mac Hard Drive Filling Up

Hi,
I noticed while trying to install software with BootCamp that I did not have enough space, when I had recenly taken 50 gigabytes of misc. files off of my hard drive. I went to "Get Info" on my Mac HD and noticed it filling up before my eyes. So, after using Disk Inventory X, I realized that the troublesome file was not yet large enough to see (And not filling up fast enough), so I took it to the Genius Bar. The reinstalled the software after doing a diagnosis on the disk image only to find a "Software Warning," and ended up having to give me a new Hard Drive under warranty. (I actually got a larger HD for free. Woohoo! (Different story)) Anyway, after restoring my computer with a recent BootCamp backup, the problem still persists, so it is obviouly an application or something that I had before. I am wondering if there is a way that I can see exactly what is causing this problem?
Thanks,
Jake

Hi Jake,
Likely a failing App or service...
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
Or...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

SSD drive filling up due to video rendering?

Hi. Apologies for what will no doubt be a stupid question but I'm not as computer savvy as many of you here.
Basically I film ice hockey games for my local team and produce weekly highlights for YouTube. I edit the footage using Premier Pro CC and then import that project into After Effects CC to add in the the few effects. I then render by using Adobe Media Encoder.
All of these filed are saved on my hard drive (D:) however I notice that after the process my SSD drive (C:) is rapidly filling up and I can't see why. I have Windows 8 and my C: Drive user folder is filled with 100+GB yet when I open the folder and add up the total of its contents it comes to little more than 16GB. I feel sure it's linked to the video editing unless it's a sheer coincidence that I noticed it only after making each set of highlights. Presumably some kind of temporary files folder that I can't locate?
Anyone with any suggestions I'd be grateful. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here.
Ta very much.

Large file copy to iSCSI drive fills all memory until server stalls.

I am having the file copy issues that people have been having with various versions of Server now for years, as can be read in the forums. I am having this issue on Server 2012 Std., using Hyper-V.
When a large file is copied to an iSCSI drive, the file is copied into memory first faster than it can be sent over the network. It fills all available GB of memory until the server, which is a VM host, pretty much stalls and also all the VMs stall. This
continues until the file copy is finished or stopped, then the memory is gradually released as it is taken out of memory as it is sent over the network.
This issue was happening on send and receive. I change the registry setting for Large Cache to disable it, and now I can receive large files from the iSCSI. They now take an additional 1 GB of memory and it sits there until the file copy is finished.
I have tried all the NIC and disk settings as can be found in the forums around the internet that people have posted in regard to this issue.
To describe in a little more detail, when receiving a file from iSCSI, the file copy windows shows a speed of around 60-80 MB / sec, which is wire speed. When sending a file to iSCSI, the file copy window shows a speed of 150 MB/sec, which is actually the
speed at which it is being written to memory. The NIC counter in Task Mgr shows instead the actual network speed which is about half of that. The difference is the rate at which memory fills until it is full.
This also happens when using Window Server Backup. It freezes up the VM Host and Guests while the host backup is running because of this issue. It does cause some software issues.
The problem does not happen inside the Guests. I can transfer files to a different LUN on the same iSCSI, which uses the same NIC as the Host with no issue.
Does anyone know if the fix has been found for this? All forum posts I have found for this have closed with no definite resolution found.
Thanks for you help.

Hi,
Sorry if it causes confusion but "by design" I mean "by design it will use memory for copying files via network".
In Windows 2000/2003, the following keys could help control the memory usage:
LargSystemCache (0 or 1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
Size (1, 2 or 3) in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameter
I saw threads mentioned that it will not work in later systems such as Windows 2008 R2.
For Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2008, there is a service named Microsoft Windows Dynamic Cache Service which addressed this issue:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9258
However I searched and there is no update version for Windows 2012 and 2012 R2.
I also noticed that the following command could help control the memory usage. With value = 1, NTFS uses the default amount of paged-pool memory:
fsutil behavior set memoryusage 1
You need a reboot after changing the value.

Hard Drive Filling.

I know i have read others like this, but no 2 seemed alike, so I figured i just needed to post and get some input. My hard drive started filling at an alarming rate tonight. I have not installed any new software in the past couple of days, and also did not get the recent security update (I have it now). I checked with whatsize, and found nearly 10gb of logs. If anyone can tell me whats going on i'd apperciate it. Spam Follows:

Do you by any chance have something like the VersionTracker pro or intermediate account activated? If you have a .Mac account I know you can sign up and get automatic notifications of software updates, and it looks like that is what is broken. I can't think what else would be using the UserNotificationCenter. I'll bet whatever the process is (such as VersionTracker notify), put something in your /Library/Startup items that runs automatically to launch the checking process and activate the notification function, but something in the chain of actions isn't working right and is sending an endless stream of malfunction messages to the log.

Hard Drive filled with "Other"

Of the 250 Gb on my hard drive, 132 Gb is filled with something that "About this Mac" calls "other"?
Any idea what it is and how to get rid of it?

Other is everything that is not movies, photos, backup, apps.....Some of the other may not be required by you or the system but most of it is.

External Drive Filling Up Too Fast

Hi all,
The space on my external hard drive seems to be filling up way faster than it should. Although I've hardly added any docs, etc to my internal iMac drive in the past week (used about 50 G of my 320G drive), the free space on my external USB drive has dwindled from ~20G to a little over 4G.
I thought that Time Machine only backed up the changed files during each archive. What's going on? Why am I running out of external HD space so quickly?
Thanks for your responses.

I'm with Maggot. I have not been using iphoto at all, don't use entourage at all. Just started using Time Machine the first of January with a brand new 500g ext hd for the back up. As of today it has used up over 1/2 that space in backups. I am a photographer, and do use hi res images, but the number of images that should be stored right now should not take up that much space - and that would be the bulk of my work that would eat up space. When I look back in Time Machine, it looks to me that there is a complete backup of everything over and over again.
So, looks to me that I have a real mess to figure out now. I had thought that only the new files would be backed up NOT the older files, but that's not what I'm seeing. Yuck. I haven't got a clue now as to what to do to get this set up properly. HELP!

Itunes problem with hard drive filling up?

Recently, I plugged my 8gb Nano into my computer and as soon as I looked at my library, many songs had exclamation points and no longer would play on my ipod. For a few of the songs with the !, I just deleted them, and went and dragged and dropped it again form my computer's hard drive, and it synced/played with no problem??? I have probably 200 or so songs with the !, so I was looking for a more efficient way to fix the problem other than deleting each one individually and dragging and dropping them again from the hard drive of my computer. Thanks in advance!
Also, I have a second problem. When I plug in my nano to my computer, my ipod's hard drive begins to immediatley fill up for no reason, and I'm not adding any files to Itunes. I then looked at my ipod under windows as an external drive and under the "music" folder it is adding folders with artist's names as the titles of these folders within the "music" folder of the ipod when I open it in windows? Anyone ever had this problem??

plausibly, you're getting some less-standard symptoms of a Windows drive letter confusion here. if that's what is afoot, the following document may be of some assistance:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
