Hi
Disk Full? Delete unwanted files.
Check your DB is running in archive log mode.If yes Delete oldest files.
All actions are depend on which type of system it is like DEV,Quality or Prod Etc.
Take some archive files backup to e drive.and delete the same.

My mac air says hard drive full and 90% is full of 'other' which I cant work out what 'other' is as i Have transferred most to my external hard drive

My mac air says hard drive full and 90% is full of 'other' which I cant work out what 'other' is as i Have transferred most to my external hard drive.
Do you know how I can tell how large each file is taking up and what my 'other' category could be?
thanks

Initial easy steps to gain disk space:
- Delete all files in the Downloads folder.
Empty the Trash.
- Start iPhoto.
Empty its trash.
Restart.
Backup:
Run a Time Machine (or other) backup since you are about to delete and move files and you may need to recover from any inadvertent mistakes or decisions. You will need one external hard drive for your Time Machine (or other) backup and a second if you plan to offload some files. (See suggestions for where to purchase hard drives at the end of this message.)

Deleting files:
Then use the free application OmniDiskSweeper http://www.omnigroup.com/more to explore your volume in descending order by size so you can attack the problem from the top down, deleting the largest unwanted files first. Delete with caution and do not delete any system files. Remember to empty the trash after trashing the files.
Additional reference on freeing disk space:
http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
Offloading files:
Consider moving some of the no-often-used large files or directories to an external disk. Use ODS again to find them. This will be at least your second hard drive. Your first one(s) is/are for your Time Machine (or other) backup(s). Do not offload files onto a Time Machine disk.
Format the second drive as Mac OS Extended (journaled). Using OWS to find large files/folders and copy them from the system drive to the external hard drive and delete them from your internal drive.
Then  > System Preferences > Time Machine > Options… > Remove the offload HD name from the exclusions list.
Now both your system disk and your external offload disk will be backed up onto your Time Machine disk.

"startup drive full" error - help

I have gotten a "startup drive full" error a couple of times while using Microsoft Word. It usually occurs when I am trying to save something. My drives are no where near full. What is causing this? How do I fix it?

One of the reasons (when one exists) for a startup drive full message,
could be if the computer has several temporary files and virtual memory
files on the hard disk drive; this could happen if you have insufficient
installed chip RAM and the computer is using HDD free-space as RAM.
And if you are multi-tasking in Mac OS X, there may be a point where
the drive is fully in-use. The utility "Activity Monitor" could tell you what
is happening in the system at different intervals and perhaps you could
tell what is running in there and using a lot of virtual memory; and also
what that utility says is going on elsewhere at the same time.
You may have to boot the computer from the Installer disc and use
the version of Disk Utility on that (in the Installer's menubar is where
you find options, other than running the installer on that disc) to run
'repair disk.' There also may be some caches and other files on the
drive which are not properly being cleared after quitting applications
or after saving works in progress.
A variety of maintenance tasks can be performed to help the Mac
run better; and maybe these are overdue. I use an easy way out
and do not boot into the single user or other modes to do house-
keeping chores in OS X 10; the software (runs free) I choose to
have do these, on occasion, is called OnyX and is a download
from Titanium Software online. An easy search, to get there and
see the correct download for the OSX version your machine runs.
The OnyX 'automation' selection has several check-boxes and
a few times a year, I run all of the options shown there; otherwise
I only run the default set, and then have the utility automatically
restart itself afterward. There are settings in the OnyX preferences.
Not sure what else may be going on in the computer's hard disk
drive; but to use the boot/install disc's Disk Utility to 'repair disk'
and also to verify or see the status of SMART, may tell you if
the hard disk drive is starting to fail. (Although it could stop work-
ing and not say it was failing; checking anyway, is easy enough.)
If you have a third-party disk utility such as Drive Genius or
maybe DiskWarrior, these may be able to check and repair
some aspects of the hard disk drive's files. Some of these
tools are better at some tasks than others; and so I am not
sure which one(s) are best at specific jobs. Each is a bit
different and so there are times where having more than one
could be very handy... if one knew what they did, and when
to use one over another third-party disk utility. (I don't!)
At some point, it is very handy to have an externally enclosed
FireWire hard disk drive, and be knowledgeable and practiced
in making bootable clones of the computer's hard disk drive
and the contents there in. This can give you great backups
with the ability to clone the complete disk image back as it
was, but on to a repaired or low-level reformatted HDD. I use
a free-running utility to clone, Carbon Copy Cloner.
Hopefully a fix as simple as using the Disk Utility found in
the installer (hold C key on startup with disc in optical drive)
and do not launch the installer, use Disk Utility from menubar;
and 'repair disk' may help. If there is a defect in the Hard Disk
Drive (HDD) a repair may help; or a more invasive approach
may be required, to include other tools in the Disk Utility, which
could totally erase all your stuff plus the OS from that hard drive.
Not sure how much experience you have in any of this; so at
this point...
Good luck & happy computing!

Why is my hard drive full when I only have the operating system loaded and nothing else? No pics, music, nothing...It's the 60 Gig hard drive on the air built in late 2010.

Why is my hard drive full when I'm only running the operating system and nothing else is loaded? No music, pics, nothing! I understand the hard drive is small at 60 gig, but I can't believe the os would take up that much space.

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free on the startup volume for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved. 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 really see everything, you have to run it as root. Back up all data now. 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. After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
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.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Single user mode - fsck drive full

Hi all
I get the drive full error when trying to run fsck saying drive full when trying to rebuild b-tree
along with some other errors invalid leaf count
any idea to be able to boot up do i need to post the whole results from fsck? what does this mean?
Thanks

I think you're right.
If it's hardware related, is it possible to guess at what it might be? It would be nice to know how much I should expect to pay for a repair before actually getting it fixed.

Canvio 1TB drive full

My Canvio 1TB drive is saying that it is full. I only have 6.98 GB of data on my computer, so not sure how this can be unless the drive is rewriting every file every time it backsup instead of overwriting files. What do I do now? How can I delete files to make room for backups. FYI the automatic backup function does not work. I have to manually backup or else there is no record of a backup having taken place. I also tried installing the software upgrade and got an error that the installation location could not be found.

To all having drive full after several backups, the solution to this is to view the size of the image drive on the hard drive. There is a redundancy when doing a full image that will cause multiple images to be saved with essentially the same data. The solution is to delete all images and do a totally new image utllizing the PC Backup option in the menu. I find this is the worst fault of the backup software. I have had no such problem with the file backup. Good luck all in fixing this. Sorry to see that Toshiba has not responded to this issue.

Hard Drive FULL, trying to move files

My startup disk and hard drive are full. I've backed up my machine two ways (two external hard drives to be redundant) I'm paranoid of losing pictures and music. I want to remove my pictures from mentioned machine (2007 Macbook Pro) and put pictures on my wife's Macbook Pro which is much newer and had adequate storage space.
Heck I don't even have to do that, I just want to lose the 38gb of pictures on this machine. I cannot open iPhoto because it says it has to update my library to view picures, but when it attempts to do so the message comes up that there isn't enough room on the Hard Drive. When I try to move photos all I see is iPhoto Library icon, and you cannot open/explore at all. My questions is do I delete the whole library? I was planning on going through the library first to try and get rid of duplicate phtotos (which for some reason there is alot of) and then re assesing.
Second Question, if I delete off my computer, can I put only some back on my machine? I'd probably only put on more recent pics, but need to know.
After that is all worked out, can I put the entire library on another Macbook Pro by simply adding the entire iPhoto library onto that machine? Happy Sunday THANKS!

1. The iPhoto library is a SQLite database and there are no user serviceable parts in it. You CAN NOT modify it in any way except using iPhoto. Using the finder or any other program will corrupt the database and cause data loss
2. Typically there are no duplicates within the iPhoto library. There will always be two or three versions of each photo. These are critical to the operation if iPhoto and can not be deleted (see #1)
3. The iPhoto library must be treated as a single entity. To move it simply drag it to the new location intact as a single entity
4. To move selected photos between libraries use iPhoto Library Manager

Hard Drive Full - After Reboot, Will Not Boot to Mac OS - Boot Camp OK Tho?

Hello all,
I having a severe issue with my 2007 Macbook Pro 2.33 w/10.6.xx (I believe I'm up to 10.6.2). Yesterday I was on the net in Firefox and got a message from the OS that my hard drive was full and that I had to kill some running apps to recover needed virtual memory. I killed everything but Firefox, finished my web-based game and shut down. The next time I attempted to start the computer, it would not go past the "gray screen with Apple logo and spinning wheel". In fact, if I hold the option key at startup, I can see my Windows Boot Camp partition, any bootable CD/DVD I might have in the drive and "EFI Boot" only. I cannot see Macintosh HD as option.
Here is a list of things I have done/tried:
1. The day before yesterday, Mac OS (10.6.xxx) informed me on my 2007 15" 2.33 MBP that it was out of HDD space and I needed to kill some apps to recover virtual memory.
2. I force killed everything but FF since I was in a game of Settlers on Asobrain at the time!
3. The computer ran fine for the rest of the session.
4. When I rebooted, all I could get was gray screen and spinning wheel.
5. I forced shut down, tried again, same thing.
6. I tried resetting PRAM with Ctrl-Cmd-P-R at startup, same thing.
7. I tried booting to safe mode. I got past login but it never loaded anything but the default background wallpaper. I shutdown.
8. I booted from the Snow Leopard DVD and ran disk verify, then disk repair but it could not be completed as the drive has been "corrupted".
9. At this point all I get upon startup now is Gray screen w/ Apple, then spinning wheel with progress bar that never goes anywhere then it shuts itself down.
10. When I start the computer in Target Disk Mode (TDM), only my Boot Camp partition will mount, not my Mac HD
11. *I do have boot camp installed, with XP Pro, and it will boot without a problem. In fact, I have HFSExplorer (a free utility f . or reading HFS volumes while in Windows) installed on the Windows side and I can see/browse folders on the Mac partition, so on the fact alone that I can boot to windows I know I don't have a HDD failure.
12. I have also tried booting to Single User mode which worked, I got the prompt. I tried using the "fsck -fy" command and it could not repair the volume.
13. I have tried creating an image of the Macintosh HD while in Disk Utility booted from the Mac Install DVD, but I get an "i/o error".
Please help! Any good suggestions, help, etc. is much appreciated! -Kyler

Hello and welcome to the discussions. All OS X drives need to keep 10-15% free space. If you were operating with less that that capacity, it is quite possible that some files were overwritten. Thus corrupted. The only thing that I could suggest is to try to copy your drive to an external HD or another Mac (Space permitting) Then reinstall using the install disc. You will then have to physically copy files from the external to your new install.
How large was your HD and how much free space does it have? You can use the install disc and Disk Utility to find out.
Cheers,
Glynn

Apple Hardware Test (AHT) Hard Drive Full Read Fail But SMART Status OK

I have a Mac mini Server from Mid 2010 running Snow Leopard Server.
Ocassionally, it'll freeze up with the spinning beachball wheel for a few minutes. This usually happens when opening an app or performing an app function from the menu bar. It's a pretty clean system—there are not many apps installed.
I suspect it's a hadrware issue. I ran Disk Utility's Permission and Disk Repair. All good. SMART Status is verified. So I ran the Apple Hardware Test. Everything passes except for the Hard Drive's "Full Read"—it fails because "Reading took longer than the average time". The Hard Drive "Short .. test" and "Check SMART Status" pass.
Does anyone have an idea of what's going on here? Is the hard drive the issue? I don't understand how there can be a read issue (or hard drive issue), when the SMART Status is verfied.

S.M.A.R.T isn't perfect. Neither is AHT for that matter, but if it is reporting that reading is taking longer than it should then an impending failure is likely. The occasional "wait cursor" appearance supports that diagnosis.
Consider yourself fortunate in that you still have the ability to back up anything important, and you can plan a convenient time for its replacement.

External Hard Drive Full, how do I delete back ups from years ago?

I have a LaCie 500GB external hard drive. I bought it to store my iTunes library on it, then when Time Machine came out a few years ago, I began backing up using Time Machine onto the same drive. Now the drive is about full, but it is mostly full from backups. How do I delete older back ups that are from almost 3 years ago? I can seem to go in there and do anything. I need more room for my iTunes library.
I also recently bough a portable G-Drive 500 GB hard drive for my photos. So I was thinking I'll just change my Time Machine backup to that. Or just transfer my iTunes to that one so I can carry it on the road. But that'll take awhile I know, and the connection is not as fast, as its only USB whereas my LaCie is an F-400 connection.
Thanks

I take it everything is in the same partition? If so, that's (obviously) a problem. Ordinarily, you'd just let Time Machine handle it -- it will delete the oldest backup(s) when it needs room for new ones.
You can do this manually, though. See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

That would be an excellent idea. In addition to not having to manually delete old backups, you can let Time Machine back up the other disk, as well as your internal HD. Be sure to format it +Mac OS Extended (Journalled).+

You need to re-run the backup program to unselect the E drive.
As a sidebar, it is actually unwise to backup to the same physical hard drive. You need to realize that you have a single hard drive , that is partitioned in hard disc C,D,E. If that physical hard drive were to crash, cease to function. burn-out, etc, you lose all of it. It is not separate drives.

Time Machine - external hard drive "full" message

I have 300GB of memory on my laptop (which isn't all used by any means) so bought a 1TB external hard drive for my Time machine back ups. I back up infrequently and have done it about 5 or 6 times. The last time it said "full". How can I have filled it up? Do i have to delete a load of stuff from the external to be able to keep backing up?

C drive full - want to move itunes to D drive

Hi,
my daughters C drive on her laptop is nearly full (only 5gb free). She would like to move her itunes library to the D drive, which is still practically empty.
Can anyone please advise how to go about moving her itunes from C to D drive, as seamlessly as possible.
We are depending on you geniuses out there.
Thanks

I just moved my entire music folder to my c drive from my external using apples recommended method and this one worked much better. (thank you)Instead of just importing the xml file and the itl file, I moved the entire folder previously and even though I kept setting the itunes new location, as soon as the external drive was removed the tunes were not found. By coping the *.itl file and the *.xml file to the itunes folder ie; my music\itunes music folder
itunes actually found all the music and re-pointed to it using your hold down the shift key method. I renamed the previous itl and xml files to bakitl and bakitl just incase I wanted to revert. Thanks again for tip. cc

Internal Hard Drive Full - Want To transfer my iPod library to external HD

I have a 60GB iPod and my desktop's hard drive is full therby preventing me from downloading anymore to my iPod. I have a 300GB external hard drive that I want to move everything to, especially my iPod Library. HELP!! How do I do it?

Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2).
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
If none of these methods work, try CopyPod. This does preserve playlists/playcounts/ratings.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

Hard Drive Full - Need to upgrade

what type of hard drive is compatible with this machine? Serial ATA or Ultra ATA?

I have a powermac G4 933mhz
I screwed up and bought a serial ATA.
Is the Seagate Barracuda Ultra100 an example of a hard drive that will be compatable?
