Hard Drive will only fill half way

It sounds such a silly question but i can't seem to find an answer.
My hard drive became corrupted earlier this year, i had to do a clean install and add all my files from my Time Capsule.
Last week i was trying to update my iPhone and it said my Hard Drive was full. It's not even half full!!
It's not been partitioned as you can see by these screen shots.
I've tried to repair the disc but to no avail.

It is a strange problem.
, i had to do a clean install and add all my files from my Time Capsule.
Did you do that by booting OS X Recovery, and selecting Restore from Time Machine Backup, or did you add your files some other way?
Try the following. It may not fix the problem but it won't make anything worse.
Make sure a backup is not in progress, then rebuild the Spotlight database according to the following instructions: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes
(summary: drag the entire source volume to the exclusions list, click OK, then remove it by clicking the minus ("–") button.)
This will have no effect on any existing backups.

    Note that you cannot just reformat the drive. You must re-partition the drive. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (the one with the mfgr.'s ID) from the leftside list, then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Select one partition from the dropdown menu. If you want to use the drive to boot the MacBook, then click on the Option button and select the GUID partition scheme from the dropdown menu. Click OK, then click on the Partition button. Wait for the volume to mount on the Desktop, then quit DU.

  • I recently bought and downloaded an album and most of the songs will only play half way then stop can i do anything about this?

    i bought the album Attack! Attack! by Attack Attack and most of the songs will only play halfway then they will just go silent i have tried contacting apple about this but have found no real topic on their site to do with this problem and there seems to be no email address for support that i can find can an of you help me?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • I bought a Tv show on Itunes and It will only play half way through.

    I Just bought Warehouse 13 season 3 Episode 1 'New Guy.' from the iTunes store and the video only plays to the 16 minute mark when the TV show is about 45 minutes long. What do I have to do in order to watch the rest of the video?

    You should have received an email receipt from iTunes and it should contain a link to report problems, .If not, then use this link to contact iTunes support. https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • HT201210 when  I plug my Ipad 2 in to charge the a message comes up not charging and will only charge half way 58 percent

    My IPad 2 will not charge over 58 %

    Are you charging it via its wall charger or a computer's USB port ?  Have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • What's the easiest way to add storage to a mac mini. (1TB hard drive but only 32G of real storage). External device, internal or partitioning?

    What's the easiest way to add storage to a mac mini. (1TB hard drive but only 32G of real storage). External device, internal or is there some way to partition? I tried doing so but received a message that there wasn't enough free space to partition. Seems like a 1TB drive should have more storage than my Ipad

    Its worth confirming what free space you have on your drive: 
    go to:   Apple Menu > About this Mac >  More Info > Storage
    The bar chart shows how much free space there is on the drive:
    Please realise that partitioning does not create extra space so this wont help you.
    If your free space is less than 20 % you should get extra storage with an external USB or Firewire drive, any make or model will work.

  • My external hard drive will not open and only shows up in Disk Utilities. When I try yo repair it, it give me and error of invalid sibling link. How do I fix my external hard drive?

    My external hard drive will not open and only shows up in Disk Utilities. When I try yo repair it, it give me and error of invalid sibling link. How do I fix my external hard drive?

    Invalid sibling link may not be fixable by Disk Utility. (Disk Utility is very conservative, and will not attempt repairs that might cause you to lose data.)
    It is an indication of serious Directory damage.
    that leaves
    a) third-party Utilities that will take those risks, or
    b) re-initializing the drive (which deletes all your data) and restoring from another backup source.
    c) "Copying off whatever files you can salvage" has gone by, and you cannot copy anything off a drive that will not mount. You may be able to use "rescue" programs such as prosoft engineering Data Rescue to copy files to another drive, but that sounds a lot better than its reality. You may get many files, but not get ANY filenames.

  • An Entire cup of coffee was spilled on the side of my MacBook Pro, it was in my purse, port side up. They were filled. I'm assuming the board or whatever is fried. If I go to apple tomorrow, what are the odds that my hard drive will be salvageable?

    I'm usually good at backing up my photos and documents, but the last 2 months of pictures and videos are on there and not backed up anywhere. I'm heartbroken.

    "What are the odds that my hard drive will be salvageable?"
    Very very good, it's all sealed and only a large electrical surge or dropping it while running could do some damage.
    Take it and use a SATA to USB adapter you can get online for $12-$40 and hook it right up to the new Mac and use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to transfer files.
    OR you can access the drive directly and on a PC with MacDrive installed.
    However the Mac itself is likley a goner.

  • Hard drive is mysteriously filling up

    My expansion hard drive is mysteriously filling up. It has 465GB of capacity. I am told I only have 85 GB left. When I open the Get Info for every top line file in the directory, I am told I have only used less than 100 GB.. I cannot find what is taking up the other space. If you have any thoughts on how to check or why this is happening, please let me know.
    Thank you,
    Larry

    Hi Larry
    Try OmniDiskSweeper. It will give you a more accurate and thorough picture of your hard drive.

  • How big of a hard drive will a DV7-1150us support?

    I have an HP Pavilion DV7-1150us that the hard drive failed in and needs to be replaced. How large of a hard drive will this PC support?

    The largest listed as an order option is 320GB- but I would think at least a 500Gb could be used. The biggest issue you face, if using Vista Recovery Discs, is that most hdd's are now AF (Advanced Format) and they rarely (never) work with this type hdd. I would suggest searching around for non-AF hdd if you will be using Vista.

  • External hard drive will not eject

    Since upgrading to ML my small "my passport" hard drive will not eject. First it gives me the message "the disk couldnt be ejected because Safari is using it and to close Safari and try again". (not sure why safari would be using it..) When I close safari then I get the message " the disk couldnt be eject because another program is using it"
    My only option is to force eject each time.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
    All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
    Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
    If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
    On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
    Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

  • HO D110 series printer will only print half of page get error

    Ever since I got a new lap top that has Windows 8 my printer will only print half of the page and then stops. I get an error message. I have used the online Wizard and downloaded the new driver but it still won't work. Also can't print wirelessly still from other devices.

    Hello mrshayes,
    I saw that you have a new laptop with Windows 8 and now the printer is printing half a page and will not print any more. I understand you also cannot print from other devices. I have some suggestions for you.
    First, try to make a standalone copy from the printer itself. If the copy is successful, the printer tests out okay. If the copy fails, try resetting your printer and ensuring it is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars, surge protectors, etc.
    Here is a link on how to reset the printer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03177455
    If the copy works fine, see if there is a Firmware Update needed: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02919168
    Also, run the Print and Scan Dr. to detect any issues. This tool might fix the problem.
