i need some serious help with disk space... so im on itunes today and it says i am running out of disk space and need to delete some files... i deleted every song in my itunes library and it stills gives me this message. i cannot download anything... i dont know what to do to clear up a large amount of disk space... please help. thanks!
Just some obvious questions first ...did you delete the song from itunes or from a playlist? Did you empty the trash yet ..as deleted files will go to your trash but still take up space until their actually deleted from here.
Doing a simple 'Get Info' (control + click) on certain files and folders will let you know how much space they are using. This app. also works nice in letting you know where all your space is being used...

HELP: missing HDD Space on my Mac Mini... where'd they go?
I have a mac mini 1.42ghz, 512 RAM and 80GB HDD (so that's 74.5GB of useful space). recent;y, my mac's been saying that it has only 1.72gig left of free space BUT when i got the info on all the main folders, here's what i got:
applications: 5.99GB
Library: 5.57GB
System: 1.49GB
USers: 42.93
totalling that, it's only 55.98 GB, plus my 1.72GB of free space, 57.7... my question is, where did my 16 or so GBs of space get to and why is it unaccounted for?!?! how did this happen? i also queried my macintosh HD, and true enough, it says 72.69 used, 1.72 free space on disc, but that doesn't equal all of its parts...
i've emptied my recycle bin, run OnyX already, and still the problem remains... any help please? thanks~!hi bgreg, i did what you suggested and got omnidisksweeper, and it came up with the same results as i did:
Macintosh HD - 57.1GB
it didn't come up with anything more useful, other than telling me that my HD has 57.1GB worth of files. it didn't tell me where the remaining 14+GB went to. i checked my hardware stats as well, and it says capacity: 74.53 (so 74.53 - 57.1 = 14GB, but my finder keeps saying i only have 1.8GB free space)...
if you have anymore suggestions, i'd be glad to try them; otherwise, i may have to reformat my HDD, which is something i don't want to do as much as possible, since i don't have most of my installer discs with me at present, plus i'd need to go through the whole process of updating everything again.
i have this paranoid notion that my computer might have developed bad sectors (but 17GB worth, and considering this is still a relatively new comp?) that's why it's not showing up. i hope not though.
thanks for the help everyone! -
Help needed: Disk space does not free up even after deleting files.
Background information for this problem: I have my iPhoto library on an external HD, and was importing files from that same drive into iPhoto, and began receiving messages that I was very low on disk space on my internal HD. From here, it seemed like iPhoto was using my boot drive for some kind of cache. Regardless of the actual reason, I began moving files from my internal HD to fix this problem temporarily (while I was importing).
At this point, I started fiddling with my files and found that no matter how many files I would delete from my HD, the available space in the finder would not free up. *At this point, I have less than 20GB on my HD, yet it says I have 1.23 GB available out of 108 GB.*
Here is what I have already tried to fix the problem, to no avail:
a) Original user was using Filevault. I backed up all the files, created a new user without Filevault, and restored the files.
b) Booted from CD and used Disk Utility to erase free space.
c) Verified and fixed permissions
d) Deleted all app and system caches (via CacheOut X)
e) Fixed/Repaired all user/system preferences (via Preferential Treatment)
*Does anyone have any idea what's going on?*
-Thanks for the suggestion.
I ran WhatSize and here is the result. Oddly, it says there is 40.2 GB used (in the top-left) which conflicts with the information directly below it: "Capacity 108 GB, Used 103GB, Available 4.27 GB". Not so helpful.
Disk Inventory X solved the problem, however. Much thanks! I wasted most of my weekend troubleshooting this sad issue. Anyway, Disk Inventory X revealed a bug where my external hard drive for photos was still appearing as a mounted volume, even though the HD was no longer connected. Freaky.
After moving it to the trash and deleting it, I've recovered the space.
Again, thanks! Contact me if you're curious about the details, as this might help you diagnose similar problems in the future.

Need Help with Java Space Invaders Game!
Hi, im new to these forums so forgive if i dont follow the right way on laying things out. Im trying to create space invaders game but im stuck when im trying to create multiple aliens/ invaders. I have a class called Aliens (which is the invaders), and i can create an instance of an Alien. But when I try to create multiple instances they are not showing up on screen. I am not getting any error message though (which im hoping is a good sign, lol).
GamePanel is where all the action is and Alien is the alien (invaders) class.
Here is the code:

HELP: No enough space to install app error
Hi,
am facing this problem from two days. when am trying to install app from amazon or BB app world, my phone is showing "No enough space to install app, please delete some apps" error. i have almost 8 GB free space left in my mobile. Please help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.On your Classic, do a reboot or restart and try the install again:
Restart: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, press and hold the upper edge power button about 20-30 seconds, ignore the 3-2-1 timer and hold until the screen goes black and you see the red LED.
or
Reboot: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, using the side edge volume keys, press and hold down both of the Up and Down volume keys for about 20 seconds, ignoring the initial screenshot message... the screen will go black and reboot.

I recently purchased time capsule as I need to free up space on my disc. I connected it as the instructions says. I have backed my information up but just recently I tried using Photoshop and a message came up saying I didnt have enough disc space. I thought that time capsule would help with this problem. Have I set up my time capsule wrong? Is there a way I can put everything from my existing internal hard drive onto my time capsule so I can have more space?

If you mean you want to remove things from your internal HD, and depend on Time Machine keeping copies of it all on your Time Capsule, don't! Time Machine will delete it's copies of anything that's no longer on your system, sooner or later. See #20 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum.
Time Machine is a backup app, not an archiving app. They may sound similar, but they are very different.
You can, however, copy/move things from your internal HD to your Time Capsule, but not via Time Machine. That will, however, give you two problems:
Wireless access is much, much slower, so anything using the data on the TC will be considerably slower.
Your data is still not backed-up. When your internal or Time Capsule HD fails (and they all do, sooner or later), you risk losing everything.
Your best bet is probably getting a larger internal HD, with room for everything.
Second best is an external HD you can connect directly to your Mac for some things that won't fit inside. FireWire 800 is fastest, FireWire 400 next, and USB is slowest.
Then let Time Machine back up everything to your Time Capsule. -

Need Help With Disk Space Issue
I am trying to free up some disk space on my MacBook Pro. Here is what I have in terms of usage of personal files:
Music: 24.7 gb
Pictures: 9.92 gb
Documents: .379 gb
Applications: 9.25 gb
This totals 44.249 gb
My capacity is listed as 111.47 gb. The problem is that I am showing only 11.96 gb available. I don't understand why there is so much gab between what is listed above and the capacity. I realize the System files, Application Support, etc. use a fair amount, but it still seems like I should have more space. I have run Onyx to clear caches, optimize, etc., and that has helped, but only marginally. Are there large files somewhere I am not aware of? I have an iDisk, but I have iDisk Synching off, so there should not be a copy of it on my computer, unless tere is an old oe lurking somewhere. Thanks a lot for any suggestions.I'll give a very plain answer :P
My Movies folder has a 10 gb size, my Library folder has 5.83 gb, my root Library has 10.89 gb, my System folder has 4.2 gb. I believe there is much more than the basic folders that eats your HDD away.
I don't know if my folders size are normal, but I do know that adding only your basic folders won't give you the real amount of disk used. In my case I have 20.92 gb of space. I would also look the size of the Downloads folder and the Mail folder (in your home/Library/Mail I have 3.5 GB in one account only!)
Hope this helps!
One last thing, not so long ago I saw a post about someone who found a file that was huge, the file was because he let the computer working overnight testing if it ran correctly by letting chess computer vs computer play all night. The game created an enormous file (I believe it was the nbook.db file in username/Library/Application Support/Chess/)
OR... use what Matt Clifton recommends jajaja... seems like a better idea :P

Can anyone help with clearing space on my Mac Mini, it says the hard drive is full and runs slowly.
Please help, we got the Mac Mini from a family member so it may have his stuff on it but no longer required, we have only put a smal amount of data on it so don't believe we have over filled it. I backed up to a hard drive all photos etc as I thought it may be them filling it, now I cannot even scan a document to it. Is there any way to Defrag it as you can normally do to a windows system as well as either declutter it or restore the whole thing.
Best Regards
SmithyThe first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.

I just recently recieved an ipod for Christmas. My biggest problem is I have an old computer without a lot of space. How do I upload my CD collection without completely maxing out what left of my hard drive?? I don't have any nifty USB portable hard drives or anything. I guess the same question goes for all my downloaded music..
How can I just keep music on the ipod and not on my computer??You need to manually manage your songs.
Here's how:

VERY IMPORTANT:: Make sure your music is backed up to some other external media. CD, DVD, external HD, something! Especially your purchased music, if any.
Having your music only on your iPod is VERY RISKY. There may come a time when your iPod has trouble and will need to be restored. It may also get lost, stolen, dropped, etc. If you only have your music on your iPod and something happens to it... your music is gone. -
Please help: Extra Line Space after bolded word
I am in the process of editing a book manuscript in MS Word 2010, and there is an annoying problem that I cannot solve. I have tampered with all the line spacing options, but I'm at a loss.
When I bold a word, it introduces an extra little line space before the proceeding line. When I unbold the word, the space goes away. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? And is there an easy fix?
Thanks very much,
JonAre you saying that the line spacing changes when you apply bold formatting? Try a different font. Or you could specify a fixed value for line spacing (choose the "Exactly" option in the Paragraph dialog box).
