How much used up space is too much?

I bought an 80 GB harddrive with my MBP (which was only 72 according to my specs)... and I thought it would be plenty... but I'm already down to 30 GB left and i've only had it for about a month.
At what point in filling up space, is my actual computer going to be slowing down because there isn't any memory left? or will this happnen even if there's no free space left?
Thanks.

Your best bet is to start shopping around for an external HD. Maxtor, Seagate, and a few others are very popular. Some come with different backup software apps, but IMO Superduper is the easiest to use. I bought a Maxtor Touch III 300GB at Newegg.com for about $195.00 and it runs like a charm.

  • How to use WebCenter Spaces 11g 2.0 Services in WebCenter Interaction 10gR3

    Hi,
    Can someone explain how to use WebCenter 11g Web 2.0 Services in WebCenter Interaction 10gR3. I have installed Webcenter 11g Spaces. I also have Webcenter Interaction 10gR3 installed. Wanted to find out how can I make use of 11g web 2.0 services i.e. wiki,blog,discussions etc. in WCI 10gR3. How can I configure those services in 10gR3.
    As reading oracle notes it says there is a seemless integration of Web 2.0 11g Services in WCI 10gR3 but can't find any steps, tutorials or examples on how to do that. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • How to use the space on the form which is coming when hide the elements

    Hi,
    I have an issue with the white space coming when I am making subform visible/hidden using java script based on condition.
    Let me explain the complete scenario. I have created an adobe form for printing invoice details, basically I have two pages, the second page is used to handle overflow content from first page and the requirement is that we should show totals section on last page only when we multple page invoice output. To do that I have written a script on second page for total sub form in such a way that the subform will be visible only on last page and will be not visible on any other page. But due to hiding the element I am getting white space in other pages which I dont want. I want to continue to print the items deatisl in that place to use that empty space.
    Can you guys help me to solve this.
    Thanks,
    Suman

    Hi Radzmar,

  • Satellite L350 - how to use free space on hard drive?

    Hi
    Wonder if anyone can help please?
    We have a Toshiba Satallite L350 with 500gb of HD. Over the past few weeks the laptop has been getting very sluggish ( carried out de frag etc which helped ) however, today I tried to add something to my laptop and was told we have no spare disc space!!!
    On looking at the computer it appears I have 2 drives ( C & D ) and the C drive is almost full yet the D drive is nearly empty!! No matter what I try I am unable to transfer anything over to the D drive so it is 'sat there' doing nothing!!! All that is showing on here is the HDD recovery from intiial setup. I never even realised that the 2 drives were there, asuming the 500gb will be used when you need it!
    Can someone give me an idea on how / what I need to do to make use of this extra 250gb of HD and enable me to use the laptop to it's full potential?
    Many thanks
    Mark / Hereford / UK

    Hi
    First of all the second partition (D) contains the recovery files and this is needed to create a recovery disk and to recover the notebook using HDD recovery option.
    But this should be explained in user manual.
    However, I dont see any reason why you should not be able to move some files like mp3, videos, or pictures to the D partition. This should be possible.
    Of course its not possible to move an installed programs if you have installed such program on C partition.
    In such case you would need to uninstall such software and would need to install it again on D partition.
    Nevertheless you could also increase the volume of C partition by shrinking the D partition and adding the free space to C.
    To do that, you need some 3rd party partitions software.
    I could recommend you usage of Gparted software. its freeware and can be downloaded from internet. Google for that.
    Additionally you could clean the system to get rid of some temporal stored files.
    CCleaner is a good freeware tool which cleans the system.

  • How to use blank space replace NULL on discoverer viewer

    Hi,
    There is a report that has a varchar field should show text values, and if NULL, I need it show blank space, and does in disco desktop, but on viewer, the same worksheet shows NULL.
    Even I changed in the Tools - Options - Format menu(desktop), it still show NULL on viewer.
    why?
    please help! thanks!
    sammy

    Hi Sammy,
    Unfortunately ‘some’ of the settings set in Desktop do not carry over to Viewer. These options need to be defined for Viewer itself.
    A temporary way to set the Viewer settings is to click on ‘Options’ when logged in Viewer itself. You’ll have to open a responsibility or report before this option becomes available to select. Within here you’ll be able to change the way NULL values are seen. However this method only makes the change for the User you logged in with.
    To make the change for all users, it’s best to edit the PREF.TXT file on the Discoverer Server. Please view the documentation below for more information on how to configure Viewer. For windows platform click here : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/A90287_01/toc.htm,
    For Unix platform click here : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/A90288_01/toc.htm. Once you’ve run the applypreference script, these settings will be forced down to all users of Discoverer.
    Hopefully this will help ;-)

  • When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    when I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • [SOLVED] How much space is REALLY used on my HDD?

    Hi there,
    Today I moved my /home/ dir to its own partition, so that my settings are safe from the system.
    I have a question about the used space:
    When I use "df -h" to see how much space is used, this is the output for home:
    /dev/sda2             184G  465M  175G   1% /home
    So 465 MB should be used. When I right click on home and select properties only 243,5 MB are used!?
    I know about the MB/MiB problem... but that would not be that extreme...
    Any ideas?

  • How much disk space does a typical system start up disk use?

    I am trying to partition a 640 GB hard drive for my 17" MacBook Pro. I created a partition of 30GB for the "System Start Up Disk", and after installing the original Tiger OSX software, and then doing the Leopard Upgrade Install, It says that I am out of disk space on that partition.
    Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Why do you want to partition that disk?
    Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
    When not booted from that drive (meaning, I believe, that it's not allocating swap or page space) my OS X 10.5 system uses 68.4 GB, including 10 GB for applications, 2.5 GB for the Developer folder, and 25.5 GB for user folders.

    But you can't install XP if you have a new Mac.
    Try running XP in a VM or aquire Windows 7 which is the only one supported now.
    And you will need more like 60GB for Windows 7, so I would skip on 20GB just to be safe.
    20G is a fine minimum for XP, I was not responding to any inquiry about Win 7.
