HT1338 i cannot update my iPhone cause computer has no space left in start up disk: how do i delete files or make more space free

How can I create more disk space on my computer; start up disk?

Hi,
How much space did this Hard Drive have when new ?
How much stuff is on there now ?
(Finder > View Menu > Show View Options and select Calculate all sizes)
A restart of the computer is likely to free up temporary files that may be in use (graphic Apps Undo space and the like).

    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.

  • Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. I have tried evrything, but it does not work and now I cannot update the iPhone s/w. any clue?

    Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. It goes on syncing forever, without actually doing anything. I have tried everything, wiped the phone numerous times, deleted all files from the laptop but still no resolution. As a result, the phone does not really synchronise.
    This started somewhere in May 2011 when I upgraded what proved to be a problematic s/w version and the phone has not recovered since.
    Now I cannot update the iPhone s/w any longer.
    Any clue?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • I cannot update my iphone the iphone update will download completely i then recieve an error message that my network settings are incorrect or my network has timed out and to try again later. i have tried 3 different networks

    please help i cannot update my iphone . i am running itunes 10.5 and this updated and installed fine.
    the iphone update will download all 774 mb but each time the download finishes i recieve the same error message.
    this says that the network settings were incorrect or the network timed out please try again later.
    i have tried using 3 different internet networks and the connection have been fine.

    I've been getting timed out for 2 days now, what finally worked for me was not plugging the phone into the computer and just doing the update through my wifi, worked perfectly, took less than 15 minutes

  • I cannot update my iPhone apps

    i cannot update my iPhone apps - when i try to download updates that are available, i get the message "cannot connect to the iTunes store."  (But I can connect to the iTunes store to purchase a new app.)

    I updated to this crappy IO5 thing and ever since, I've been having problems, too.  Of course, I thought I had done something wrong.  Now that I've found you guys here, it's nice to know I'm not losing my mind.
    Most of my apps are now missing.  (Purchased and free)  I figured it was a scam by apple to make us buy them again so they could make more money.  Which REALLY irritated me.
    My phone shows that I, too, have 6 updates and when I try to update, the apple id is my daughter's.  How do I change that?  Where do I change that?  NOBODY in this house knows what THAT password is!!! 
    I went to my itunes account on my computer (signed in just fine with my id and password i've been using for years) and tried to update the apps there.  It said I had 6 updates, then when I hit the update button, it said I had 13.  And now that it's done?  I have 4 more to update, but i get the message "No updates are currently available.  To check for updates on another Apple ID, sign in with that Apple ID".  WTH????
    As much money as I know MY family spends between updating phones, the monthly 'subscription' rate to make it all work, the songs we purchase, the apps we purchase, etc (not to mention everyone else in the world that they get money from)........ Apple isn't giving us any warm n fuzzy feelings to make us want to renew any contracts in 3 months and keep the iPhones.  We may be looking into alternate phones - that are not apple associated.
    Is anything working for anyone?  Is anyone able to figure out this updating dilema??

  • I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

  • Cannot update/backup iphone because iphone disconnected

    I have seen this question asked many times and no one seems to know the way to fix it or why it randomly starts happening. 
    I cannot sync my wife's iPhone.  I continue to get the "cannot update/backup iphone because iphone disconnected."
    I have switched usb ports, gotten a new cable, cleaned the connections, but nothing works.  Is there anything short of wiping the phone and starting over?  I am on iOS 4.3.3 and iTunes 10.4.1 (10).
    Wife has already started from scratch once, I would like to avoid that again.

    And I said that problems can happen to any phone. I was just saying that the OP was from 3 years ago, and you responded to them. A generic answer would show that your response is what to do with a Mac computer, since the info that you posted does not apply to a Windows computer. Again, thanks for joining, my comment was just the understanding of your post as well.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5  Help!

    I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5  Help!

    wifi is wifi, and business hub means very little.. this is area for time capsule discussion.. but the standard measures apply.
    1. Set wireless name (SSID) to a name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Eg your Business Hub call wireless BH. There is no need for names longer than that.
    2. Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to 11 or 6 or 1. Please test in that order. In Eurozone you can add 13 or use it instead of 11. They are the only 3 non-overlapping channels.
    3. Use no security to test.. of course this is unsafe long term.. so this is to test for a few minutes only.
    The only security that should be used with N wireless is WPA2 TKIP-AES .. it can be named several different things ie in Apple routers it is WPA2 personal. Use a passkey of 10-20 characters.. more if you are paranoid, mix of upper and lower case + numerics.. so pure alphanumeric.
    4. If it fails set the mode to G wireless. It is more consistent standard.
    If it still fails buy an Apple router and use that as WAP.
