How can I make more room in my hd?

how can i make more room in my hard drive?  I was thinking about using itunes match.  Will this release some HH space?

3 GB out of what?  How large is your hard drive?  Rule of thumb: You should never let your hard drive get to where you have only 10-15% of space left.

  • How can I make more room on my ipod to put more songs on it

    My ipod is running out of room to put more songs on it and I have a 4GB ipod and I only have 488 songs. How can I make more room on my ipod fore more songs?

    Delete other content from it or restore it. Note that if the songs are encoded at a bitrate higher than 128Kbps or longer than 4 minutes, the iPod won't hold as many as advertised.

  • How can i make more room on my 6-year old MacBook Pro?

    How can I make more room on my 6-year old MacBook Pro? I already have an external hard drive.

    Two options:
    Delete files from your Home folder you no longer use or need (but do not delete anything from the /Home/Library/ folder.)
    Buy and install a larger hard drive. You can find suitable drives at OWC. You would need a 2.5" notebook drive that is SATA II or SATA I compatible - 1.5 or 3.0 Gb/s.

  • How can i make more room for my icloud storage on my ipad? i want to delete some apps to make more room but it won't let me?

    I AM TRYING TO MAKE MORE ROOM STORAGE ON MY IPAD'S ICLOUD AND I AM TRYING TO DELETE SOME APPS MAYBE SO THAT IT CAN FREE UP SOME ROOM? BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW AND ALSO MY IPAD WON'T LET ME IT KEEPS SAYING IN USE? HELP

    Why are you SHOUTING in the worst font ever invented?
    Apps aren't stored in iCloud.
    Are you trying to clear space in iCloud (which is stored on the internet, not in your iPad), or are you trying to clear some space in the internal storage of your iPad?

  • How can I make more room on external drive for Time Machine?

    I now have Time Machine installed and in use on my external drive, which also still has my previous backup on it which used a different system (Dejavu). The external drive's capacity is 74 GB; 58.22GB are used, my iMac hard drive (backed up with TIme Machine) has 38.12 GB used, which by my calculation means about 20GB of the 58 on the external drive are the prior backup. Is there a way I can erase this prior backup, which now duplicates Time Machine, thereby making more room for Time Machine in the future? For instance, if need be, can I erase the whole thing and reinstall Time Machine on it? Thanks!

    James, if you open your TM drive, I'm guessing you see the usual System, Library, Users, and Applications folder along with a folder labeled something like Backup.bkup. (I'm away from a TM backup and I can't exactly recall the name of the TM backup folder.)
    The DejaVu backup is just a standard file backup using 'rsync' so you can delete whatever you want by simply dragging it to the trash and emptying the trash. If the drive is bootable, you may not want to lose that ability. But assuming there's nothing in your user folder on that backup that isn't also on your computer, you can delete just about everything in your User folder on that drive. You can delete selected applications too. And if you don't mind losing the ability to boot, you can drag everything but the TM backup folder.

  • My time machine says it need more room to complete back up, how do i make more room? up

    My time machine says it need more room to complete back up, how do i make more room?

    Delete the old backups..
    There is a reason though for this to happen. Tell us what model Time Capsule you are using and what size disk it has .. how much free space is available and how much is now required. If you upgraded to Mavericks it probably needs to do a whole new  backup and simply doesn't have the space .. nor can it delete the old backup.
    Please read Pondini FAQ for details of these issues.. deleting backups for example Q12
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There is also info on how much space is required for backups.

    Try downloading omnidiscsweeper
    http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/
    and check to see that are no large folders of files that you do not know about on your computer. Normally it will be Pics, Music or Movies.
    If everyfile is required then you may well have to physically back a lot of it up to an external drive. You need a minimum of 15% free disc space to operate at a reasonable rate.

    How can I make more email maps for the iPad2?

    If you are on iOS 5 as your tagline suggests and it's an IMAP type account then you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of folders that you currently have on your email account. If it's a POP type account then you won't get the Edit button.

  • My start up disc is almost full. How do I make more room?

    I keep getting this message that my Startuo disc is almost full. Please delete some files to make more room. I have deleted several files, but a few weeks later I get the same message again. Is there something else I should be doing or checking?
    I own a MAC OS X version 10.5.8
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Please help.
    Thanks

    There is no magic bullet. You need to delete stuff off the startup drive.
    The biggest hard drive space hogs are videos, images and music. The good news is that all of these can - and probably should - be moved to an external drive. So my advice would be to get yourself an external hard drive, connect it to your Macbook, format it correctly, move what you can to that drive, and the ERASE them off the startup.
    Good luck.
