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. Get an external hard drive on which to store some of your files after which you can
erase the data from your internal drive to free up space.
5. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
6. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
7. 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.
On your device you can try restoring it as New.

How do I create more room on my MacBook Pro so I can install Snow Leopard? It says it needs 5GB and I have 4.something.

How do I create more room on my MacBook Pro so I can install Snow Leopard?
I've only got 4.something GB left and it says it needs 5 GB?
Which then begs the question, will I be able to do anything with the computer.
I think I need to get some stuff off, but do not know where to look up what is taking up the most room.
I have an extra hard drive.
I have iDisk.
I have a Time Machine, but it backs up one of my three Macs.
Thanks.

A utility like GrandPerspective is a good one for seeing what is taking up space on your hard drive.
Video and photo files tend to take up a lot of room.

How do I create more than one ipod account on one computer

I have an eighty gig ipod and just recently bought a Clip and want to sync both to my music is it possible. If not how do I create two accounts on the same computer?

If you are adding a second iPod for your own use you don't need two accounts. Just connect your new iPod (by Clip I presume you mean an iPod shuffle) to your computer and follow the on screen instructions to register and name it and you can choose whatever setting you like to sync it. iTunes will recognise each device that you add and they will have their own settings.
There are several different ways to use two or more iPods with one computer, have a look at this help page for suggestions and choose the method that suits you best: How to use multiple iPods with one computer

How do I create more space on my hard disk?

What's the best way to clean out my harddrive to create more room. How do I know what caches I can get rid of what I need to keep. Is there a good program to improve performance and clean out to make more space. Please advise. I have never "cleaned" my macbook and I know it needs it.

While deleting caches is normally safe, see Myth #4.
Note that your Library folder contains all of you Mail and attachments. If you've got a lot of email with large attachments, you can really fill up the Library folder.
Your user installed Fonts and Log files are also in there. If you have a program that is constantly writing log entries without cleaning it up, it could create a large file after a short time.
The Cache folder on my system is 1.22 GB with the total Library of 2 GB.
Everything else in there shouldn't be taking up much space.

How do I create more space on Time Machine backup disk?

How do I create more space on Time Machine backup disk?

since time machine in Snow Leopard stops backing up when there's no more space on the disk,
That is has not been my experience, and does not appear to be agree with this Time Machine documentation:
Backup drive fills up
As your backup drive begins to fill up to its capacity, Time Machine intelligently deletes the oldest backups to make room for newer ones (and will alert you if the "Notify after old backups are deleted" option is selected in Time Machine preferences).

Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things. Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.

Monolingual is a program for removing unnecessary language resources from Mac OS X,in order to reclaim several hundred megabytes of disk space. It requires at least Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) and also works on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). It worked for me on 10.4

You need an external Firewire drive to boot a PowerPC Mac computer.
I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.
I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
The latest the hard drive enclosures support the newer serial ata drives. The drive and closure that I list supports only older parallel ata.

How can I create more than one main window in a page of SAP SCRIPT?

How can I create more than one main window in a page of SAP SCRIPT? If anybody helps me I will be obliged.
Regards,
Subhasish

Hi Ganguly,
It is possible to have more than one main window in a same page.
You create a main window and simply you copy and past it in the same page.. it will create first main window name as MAIN and other main windows as MAIN01,MAIN02.... up to MAIN99.
Contets flow from MAIN , MAIN01, MAIN02.......................MAIN99. contents after filling the current window it flows to next window(by default, you skip as well with some keyword not sure could be NEW-WINDOW)
you want print the main window data twice? or you want to create two main window in the same page ?
1. give two copies in the no of copies in the output type screen ( Which pop up is coming after excute the program ).
2. create two page with the same script form.
3. you can write the coding inside the program to print twice the same page.
Hope this information use full to you..

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.

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.
