  • HT201364 How do I remove items from my start up disk to allow for the upgrade?

    I am being alerted to upgrading to Maverick, yet can't because my start up disk is full.  I have a new Air and plugged in my SlimDrive to access old documents and photos.  Ever since that, I get "full" messages and now can't upgrade.  Thoughts?

    After backing up:
    Empty the Trash,
    If you use iPhoto, there is a trash in that program.
    Delete the Trash in Mail.

    how do I remove iteams from my start up disk to create more space?

    make sure you have a backup first. LIke with Time Machine.
    drag stuff to the trash you don't want to save
    like music, videos, photos, documents, apps you don't use anymore. Video, in particular, tends to take up a lot of room.
    don't drag system files to the trash.
    get an external hard drive. Don't buy a WD. reformat the drive with Disk Utility. Don't use any of the software that comes with the drive.
    copy stuff you want to save to the external hard drive.
    Once you've copied those items to the external hard drive, you can drag the originals to the trash.
    empty the trash.
    enjoy all your new space.

    How does one remove items in the start up disk....
    Thank you

    You apparently have filled your boot disk to a point where the remaining space is below Mavericks installation requirements. It is implying that you need to review your login directory for very large files, or folders.
    Open a new Finder window. In the left nav, select your short login name. Then change the View to list view. If the Size column arrow is pointing up, click it to down and your folders and files will be listed in descending storage use. The folders with an engraved emblem on them were created by the operating system, so do not remove them. Also, resist removing Apple applications found in /Applications.
    Top candidates would be huge iTunes Music or applications content, iPhoto, or video collections. Whatever is taking up your storage will stand out. Generally, you should stay out of your Library folder.

    Well you can move them to an external drive but this will delete them from the internal drive. Which is what you have to do to free up disk space.

  • HT201177 How Do I Remove Files From My Start-Up Disk?

    Can someone tell me how to remove files from my start up disk?

    Your startup volume is full. First, reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
    Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
    First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.
