FF wants to access fonts from NON-startup disk repeatedly

Ever since updating to FF 3.6.4, I keep getting dialog boxes asking I allow or deny FF to use fonts from a non-startup disk. I keep denying the request, but it keeps asking. The fonts look like they are installed on the startup disk. I run OS X v10.6.4 server.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After update to FF 3.6.4

The initial upload of my question would not accept my OS version correctly. I am running OS X 10.6.4 server.

You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

I am trying to edit some videos using iMovie. My storage seems to disappear very rapidly and I cant get it back. I have deleted all my photos, Music, downloads and video files from the startup disk and recently (today) deleted 100GB of video files from the theatre in iMovie. I have tried to edit a single movie and in no time I was getting messages that my startup disk is full.
Why is this happening?

How can I get it back?
Why cant I use my external 2TB usb disk as the default storage path for my videos?
I need some answers quick. can anyone help? I am sure I am not the only person who edits videos on the Mac.
Thanks in advance.

Time Machine on non-startup disk?

Does anyone know if Time Machine can be used on non-startup disks? I have a Dual-Mirrored Door G4 running as a file server with two separate internal hard drives, a boot volume with the operating system on it and a second drive with all the data that is shared. I can run Time Machine to backup the boot volume, but what I really want is to run it for backups on the data volume but I can't quite figure out how. Thanks for any help.

Oops, I figured this out, nevermind.

How can I remove files from the startup disk

I am getting a screen when I am trying to quit saying the "MAC OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory" by closing the windows and removing files from the startup disk will help.
How do I do this?

That error message is misleading. Your problem is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
In the Activity Monitor application, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

You can use iCloud with 10.7.5. You do not need to upgrade to Yosemite. You should provide a minimum of 15 GBs of free space or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

You need 3.54 GB of available space to download Mac OS X 10.7. Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space.

Hi, Rick.
Your MacBook's hard drive is too full to accommodate Lion. How big is your hard drive, and how much space remains available on it?
It sounds as if you may be confusing RAM with hard drive space.
Check out this article on the subject:
http://www.ehow.com/about_5452977_computer-memory-vs-storage.html
It is generally recommended to keep a minimum of 15% of the total capacity of your hard drive as available space for smooth operation of your Mac.

The startup disk is your hard drive, where you store all your programs and data. Probably named Mac HD in Finder. Read this:

Remove files from your startup disk

I'm trying to transfer all of my existing CD's onto my iTunes. I've transfered about 4500 songs so far (18.53 GB) and now when I try to import more, I get an error message that says "the disk I am trying to dowload to is full, please remove some files from your startup disk or empty trash."
I've emptied my trash, but still get the message. Is it just because I had downloaded too many songs/videos? Is there anything I can remove besides the songs?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can safely delete items you don't use from the /Library/Printers/ and /Library/Packages/ folders, and more space can be freed by running Monolingual to delete foreign languages. Deleting architectures with Monolingual shouldn't be done on an Intel Mac unless you know exactly what you're doing.

GrandPerspective is a nice app that shows a graphic representation of what's on your disk, so you can get an idea of what is taking up too much space.GrandPerspective
Don't buy CleanMyMac or any other dreck that offers to "clean" your Mac for you. Worst software ever.
If there are apps in your Applications folder you don't need any more, drag them to the trash and empty the trash.
In general, it is media files, like music, photos, and especially video that is taking up a lot of space. You can move your iTunes library, iPhoto Library, and iMovie video to an external drive.

I need more space to download OS X Mavericks. How do I remove items from myr startup disk to increase available space?

Move items you don't need on it, such as the iTunes and iPhoto libraries, to another drive, verify they work in the new location, and then delete them from the internal drive. If you don't need something at all, drag it to the Trash and empty it.

Cannot access forum from non BT ISP

It was a few weeks ago so presume still the same, I wanted to check this forum from work through the corporate non BT ISP and got a message that I couldn't because I wasn't on a BT line. Couldn't even log in. Surely given that we might have problems with BT and need this forum when the line is down or something that is a nonsense!!??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is probably the message you saw if you accessed a link to my forumhelp pages.
"Sorry - You must be connected to BT Broadband or the BT network to use this website.
This is a private website for the benefit of BT Broadband customers who use the
BT Customer Support Community
website, and is not connected with BT."
It better than just giving the standard 403 (Unauthorised) message
That would have come from my webserver if your IP address did not originate from the BT network. This is done to allow me to manage the level of traffic, and keep out web spiders and most hackers.
I am sorry if it caused you any inconvenience, but you should have been able to access it from home, and even a BT wifi, BT FON, or BTOpenzone hotspot.
If anyone does have problems accessing my site from the BT network, then please tell me what your current public IP address is, and I can check it against my routing table, as BT keep adding more POP sites, and its possible they may be missing from my list.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.
