HT1750 i decide to upgrade to the OS X Mavericks not realizing I don't have enough hard disk space and now I cant do anything. How do I revert to the previous version to make more space on the HD?

I decided to upgrade to OS X Mavericks not realizing I don't have enough HD space. Now I cannot do anything with the upgrade. How can I revert to the previous OS X to free up more space on the HD?

You can't. It's already downloaded and filled the drive. The only option is to erase and reinstall.
You may be able to Target Disk Mode if you can connect the Mac to another with FireWire or Thunderbolt Cables (USB will not work and it cannot be connected to a windows PC)
Do you have a Time Machine Backup?
If not best option is getting it in somewhere where they can transfer the data you need off before Erase and Reinstalling OS.
Unless there is nothing on the Machine you need anymore that is, in which case you may be able to Erase in Recovery. It May not work though, if the Disk is too full.

  • You do not have enough free disk space to create the database

    Hello,
    When I try to create a database, I have this error message:
    You do not have enough free disk space to create the database. You need at least 1428480 kB on /opt/oracle, you have only 1179648 kB available, please alocate more free disk space.*
    When I run *# df -h* I have:
    /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol09
    5.7G 4.3G 1.2G 79% /opt/oracle
    and
    /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol10
    486G 542G 262G 68% /oracle_data
    and with vgdisplay I have:
    Alloc PE / Size 29772 / 930.38
    Free PE / Size 0 / 0
    My info is:

    I do not know how to solve this.
    Please help me
    Thank you

    1179648 kB available space is comparable with 1.2GB. Both are the available space.
    Thank you for your help.From the error you reported in your original post
    You do not have enough free disk space to create the database. You need at least <font color="red" size="4">1428480 kB</font> on <font color="red" size="4">/opt/oracle</font>, you have only <font color="red" size="4">1179648 kB</font> available, please alocate more free disk space.
    SQL> select 1179648 i_have, 1428480 oracle_needs,
      2         1179648 - 1428480 i_am_short
      3  from dual;
        I_HAVE ORACLE_NEEDS I_AM_SHORT
       1179648      1428480    -248832So, yes, both numbers report the available space in slightly different terms, but what you need to be concerned about is how much Oracle thinks you neeed to have, which is <font color="red" size="4">more</font> than you actually have on /opt/oracle.

    That is hard to say, as we do not know what you keep on your hard drive.
    To free space
    empty the trash, both on your Desktop and the Aperture Trash,
    Delete files and folders you do not need
    Move files to an external volume.
    There are utilities that let you find large files, like Omni Disk Sweeper, but that is not a free application.

    Please for referral information, how can I get more disk space, or actually information and guidelines that can have enough free disk space. How, I have to delete documents or downloading to another drive. (The problem is that Safari could not download the file "iTunesSetup.exe" because there is not enough free disk space.Try deleting documents or downloading to another drive) ... Perhaps this is the main problem why can not open iTunes and inscription is: the folder "iTunes" can not be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder. - And after options ok, appears option: Choose iTunes Library with inscription iTunes needs a library to continue. You may choose an existing iTunes library or create a new one - but still following options Choose Library and the following options can not open iTunes ... Please for instructions on how to eliminate the problem or eror ...

    buy an external HD   1TB for $60
    NO notebook is a mass storage device, so dont try to turn it into one, it doesnt work that way.
    Unless youre using it every couple weeks, its static data and should be on an external HD
    In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.  You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
    Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
    Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I'm trying to update my IPAD 2 to iOs 7.1.2 but don't have enough memory to do so.  In I-Tunes I'm told to change my media sync options to gain more memory, but I don't know how.  Can you help?

    Turn off the check mark to sync your music and also the check mark for the video. Sync the device. This will remove the items from you iPad but still keep them on your computer. Install IOS 7.1.2. Then turn on the check marks for your music and videos and resync the device.

  • How do I revert to a previous version?

    If i do anything on my computer besides play the new Itunes by itself, I get horrible audio distortions. How/where do I download a previous version? I was running just fine with multiple applications open before this painful 'upgrade'.

    If you look in the folder where your library file is stored, iTunes creates backups, replace the newest file with the file created before the install.
    On my computer, files were in "my music->iTunes", file named "iTunes Library.itl", with backup files stored in a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries" in the same directory.
    As for this release, it's buggy as heck. I had deteriorating audio problems like everyone else, then when I quit out it gave me an error when I tried to restart it, and I could no longer even open the program. Now I'm happily back at v6.0.5.2, fortunately I still had the installer on my computer.

    I just downloaded itunes 11 and now i cant find the display duplicates..and it doesnt show the total amount of songs in my library..anybody know..??

    Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.
