I am getting a warning need more space on my disk. I have checked the Console and there have been 4000 thousand messages in my system log in the last 2 days. I have emptied as many files as possible.

Hi
I am getting a warning on opening my mac saying I need more space as my setup disk is full. I have emptied many files as well as my Trash. I am planning to get an external drive for my photos, but it has been suggested that I check Console and under the system log the following message (of which they say 4000 messages have been logged in 2 days) '06/06/2014 16:08:23.341 com.apple.dynamic_pager: dynamic_pager: Need more space on the disk to enable swapping'. This is a copy of one of the items. It is from the system log. I really do not think I have enough files to warrant this warning, with the exception of photos. My storage shows 143 MB free out of 120.47. Thanks for any help.

First off, no MacBook Air can run 10.3 or earlier.
Secondly, are you sure you only have 143MB of storage free? That's seriously low. With MacBook Airs of 120 GB hard drives, or even 140 GB which is often the case when it says out of 120, you shouldn't allow your free space to go down below 20 GB. MB is 1024 fold less than a GB. So if you really have 143MB free on a MacBook Air, you are long past the minimum space you should be keeping it at, and need to start clearing a lot of space now*:

I'm asking this thread be moved to the MacBook Air forum,a as we can't say for certain what you have when you post in the 10.3 or earlier forum.

I have problems in communication between my notebook and Epson printer. It goes offline everytime I unplug it from the notebook and there is no way how to switch it on. Although the printer is recognized and scanning is not a problem. Any solution?

this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem..

I have credit in my account, iBooks charges the credit and there is still credit left over but seems to be taking the tax from card on file. Is this how it works?

Totally confused here as I have credit in my account. It seems to be using the gift card credit, but I still get a little bit taken from my credit card. No I'm not using up all the actually gift card credit, the price is under that. I still have credit left over. But continue to receive charges of 1.03 or 4.28 to my charge card and not taking amount from gift card.

I was having this problem too. Last night, before I rented a movie, I turned iTunes on on my iMac. I rented the movie from iTunes on apple tv, then checked my acount on my iPad. My account updated once I logged into it. Maybe you need to have iTunes running when purchasing or renting.
Try it.

I have about 120 apps and there hasnt been an update on any of the, I have about 120 apps and there hasn't been an update on any of the apps in about a week. All the apps are from the top paid and free. Is something wrong with my iPod?

Help please

Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.

I can't open D7200 NEF file with Photoshop CS6. I checked the updates and there are no updates available. What do I do?

Hi,
I can't open D7200 NEF files with Photoshop CS6.I checked the updates and there are no updates available.What do I do?
Nitin

For the time being, shoot JPEG images. At this time there is no support for NEF files from the D7200 in any Adobe product. It was released at such a time that it wasn't included in the last Camera Raw update. And Lightroom hasn't been updated either. Consequently, there is no DNG converter available at this time. We will have to wait and see what programs will be able to accommodate the D7200 when Adobe releases updates or upgrades that support the camera.

I have an 8gb iPhone 4 and i need more space, is there a way to get more space rather then buying a whole new phone?

I have an 8gb iPhone 4 and i need more space, is there a way to get more space rather then buying a whole new phone?

No. Sell the 8gb and buy one with more capacity.

I need more space on my iPad 2 and want to move my photos to iCloud where I have a lot of available space.

In order to update to iOS 7 I need more space on my iPad 2. Since I have a lot of storage space in iCloud, I want to move my photos there . What do I need to do?

How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

My iphone tells me I need more space but when I look at my storage I have plenty. However, it shows Pages takes up a lot of space. I don't have that icon on my iPhone so I wonder if I delete it from my storage on my iPhone will it delete it from my laptop

My iphone tells me I need more space but when I look at my storage on the Cloud in Iphone I have plenty. However, it shows Pages takes up a lot of space. I don't have that icon on my iPhone so I certanily don't use it or see it. I wonder if I delete it from my storage on my iPhone will it delete it from my laptop?
Thanks for your help!

Local Storage on your Device is not the same as iCloud Storage.

HT1688 i cant get update on phone or take videos, says i need more space

i cant get my phone to turn off and trying to just restore but unable to backup due to error saying i need more space, i cant even get some text messages or emails and i cant video anymore either

Back up ALL of your photos and videos to your PC and remove them from your camera roll.
Next, delete any apps you don't use on a regular basis or at all.    Go to Settings - General - Usage to see which are the largest ones and start from there.
Use Facebook?   Delete that... You can always reinstall it, but by deleting now you'll erase all of the cache that it's been using to download photos etc from your news feed.
Send a lot of Messages?    Delete those also... Especially the attachments such as photos.   Over time they take up an enormous amount of space.

My phone needs more space. I have lots of pictures on it and on my iPad. I recently purchased a MacBook and now my pics are on there. If I delete my camera roll from my phone, might I lose them?

I Need more space But if I delete my pics from my phone, how do I know that they won't reappear after the backup, or, much worse, be deleted from my MacBook and iPad after the Cloud backup?

1. Connect the phone to iTunes and do a backup (better safe than sorry)
2. Open iPhoto on the Air, and import all your photos from the phone
3. Now you can delete the photos on the phone and they're safe in iPhoto
4. If you want to put them (or some of them) back on the phone, you can put the ones you want on the phone into an album in iPhoto, then sync that album back to the phone
Hope that all makes sense

I need more space on iPhone 5 to get latest IOS 7 update. If I delete all music that gives me more than enough. Then is it correct music is still on my MAC where I previously synced everything and if I want I'll be able to move some or all songs from MAC

I need more space on my iPhone to update the iOS 7 To do this easily it appears I can delete all my music. That would give more than enough space. After update, will I be able to use sync to put some music back on iPhone? I don't need all my music on iPhone, so earlier did this except for the part restoring some music from MAC to iPhone
Will it work by syncing,

Yes. You may not be able to restore all of it, depending on how much storage memory is left after the update. You can make more space on your phone by importing photos and videos to your compluter.

I was backing up my iPhone and importing photos onto iPhoto at the same time , then suddenly it says no more space available (i had 48GB before i do this and now i have 18GB) i can't find the back up or the photo anywhere , how can i delete them ?

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
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 see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move it. The apps will freeze and I have to "force quit" to get them to close. Sometimes putting the computer to sleep and waking it up helps. Is there a way to remedy this?

Oops, I needed to update my profile. I have snow leopard now
