Increase available space in the disk
If we delete music files, photos, etc we should obtain more space available in the disk. I have deleted music files and photos and my free space available didn't increase neither my used space decreased. WHY? Deleting files isn't enough to get more space ? What I need to do to obtain more free space available and less used space? Thanks in advance for your support and quick reply.
56,7MB and free space 55,62GB
This is correct for an empty iPod. The 56.7Mb is used by the iPod operating system and Extras that are loaded on the iPod.
55.6GB free is correct for an empty 60GB iPod.
There's always a discrepancy with hard drive capacity due to the different ways in which hard drive manufacturers and computer manufacturers measure hard disk space. The difference is due to a decimal vs. binary measurement.
Hard Drive manufacturers consider a Gigabyte to be 2^30 bytes (1,073,741,824 bytes) whereas the computer manufacturer reports a gigabyte to be 10^9 bytes (1,000,000,000 bytes).

You need 4.93 GB of available space. I cannot download OS X Mavericks for I obtain the following answer: Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space. How do I know what items I should remove in order to make more space available? Thanks.
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck! -

i recently upgraded my memory to 2gb to support download of lion. i am now receiving this message when i try to download lion:
You need 3.54 GB of available space to download Mac OS X 10.7. Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space.Hi, Rick.
Your MacBook's hard drive is too full to accommodate Lion. How big is your hard drive, and how much space remains available on it?
It sounds as if you may be confusing RAM with hard drive space.
Check out this article on the subject:
http://www.ehow.com/about_5452977_computer-memory-vs-storage.html
It is generally recommended to keep a minimum of 15% of the total capacity of your hard drive as available space for smooth operation of your Mac. -

I need more space to download OS X Mavericks. How do I remove items from myr startup disk to increase available space?
Move items you don't need on it, such as the iTunes and iPhoto libraries, to another drive, verify they work in the new location, and then delete them from the internal drive. If you don't need something at all, drag it to the Trash and empty it.

When I try to download this I get a message that says I haven't got sufficient space on my startup disk. I have checked my available space on the disc and I have only 3GB free out of 500. I have hardly anything on my mac - how can this be?
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's 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. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. 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. -

How to increase "available space"
Hello. I'm on my first Mac and have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to Mtn. Lion. It says that it requires 2GB of memory, which I have, and 8GB of "available space." I have 6GB. Does Apple have a snappy way to increase "available space" that does not require opening the computer up? Thank you.

Thank you all for your help. Your answers made me cringe, and since I was cringing so much that I decided to go back and look at the numbers and I have to apologize: I gave the wrong number for disk space. (Feeling like a dork right about now.)
My computer comes with two 2GB (banks) of DDR3 memory, so the memory is 4GB. I got some help learning about and locating the Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor>System Memory section and found that I have 1.82 GB free, 641MB wired, 1.42GB active, 139.7MB inactive, and 2.18 GB used. Adding free and used gives 4GB total memory, and so I think I do have just under 2GB free. I will check out both places you listed, Eric Root, and I will get, as you suggested, Csound1, as much RAM as my computer permits.
And regarding "disk space," I don't have 6GB, I have 640GB! I looked a few tabs over and found that my disk usage is 333.92GB utilized and 305.87GB free, so it looks like I have 640GB (650, but 640 useable?) of disk space in total and that just over half is being used.
I'm sorry for the poor researching in my original post, but I'm pretty new to the inner workings of computers. That's just where I am right now. It appears that the memory I thought I had enough of, I need more of, and the disk space I thought I was out of, I have plenty of! Jeez. Anyway, I appreciate the help from all of you and I will take care of that RAM problem pronto .
You're welcome -
Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help me. I have a MacBook Pro, it has came up saying I need to free up space on the disk as it full every time it starts up, so I log in and no icons or applications show up on the screen just my background wallpaper, the only thing I can do is the force quit keyboard shortcut but there is nothing to quit, I have tried to start up in safe mode but again there is no icons in the desktop,
I have my disks that came with my laptop I have went into disk utility to repair disk and I still seem to have the same problem .. No icons or apps or anything lol just the cursor I can only shut down the laptop via power but and the press shut down.
Please help I am going out my mind with this thing :(

What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod? I did this some time ago. On screen was shown available space somewhat less than 120 GB, but maybe somewhere between 10 and 20 GB more in the library. I had to get the iPod updated anyway, so I did proceed. However, afterwards the total content of the library was only about 110 GB. Now I wonder what did actually happen. Was the first sign only corrected for double copies of the same files or lost files or where files deleted from iTunes? And if files where deleted from iTunes, were they also deleted from my computer?
Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

Write: 0xecf6eb0, 4096: There is not enough space on the disk.
Our applications occasionally get the error in the function specified by set_errcall: "[prefix] write: 0xecf6eb0, 4096: There is not enough space on the disk. " Preceded by "DB00.db: write failed for page"
There most certainly is enough space on disk for one. In this most recent case, the Db::put's succeeded for a full hour before finally failing with an out of space error. At which point, I now have 30 log files and my own log files are filled with Berkeley error callbacks.
How come the set_errcall doesn't return an integer error code? If it did, we would be able to analyze that and decide any action to take. In this example, I might consider closing down all handles and checkpointing then removing logs since maybe the number of logs has gotten to large. Analyzing a string doesn't make sense since that might change with Berkeley versions.
Anyway, can anyone give any advice as to why we would get an out of space error (with plenty of disk space.) And also how to handle such an error.
Edited by: AMARCIONEK on Jun 3, 2009 10:10 AMThe platform is C++ API version 4.7.25 running on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2. The database is on an NTFS disk. We have tested database files up to 20GB in size. The following is my config.

We also checkpoint every 2 to 5 minutes with a 5MB threshold. We also explicitly call pDbEnvironment->log_archive(kpNil, DB_ARCH_REMOVE) after checkpointing.
Primary and (up to 4) secondary databases are opened with DB_CREATE | DB_AUTO_COMMIT flags.
I'd also appreciate any suggestions as to how to lower the memory footprint used by Berkeley. Ever since we've integrated this DB, our memory usage has been too large and inconsistent. There are 6 independent environments the product uses during runtime. Each of these environments have a primary database and (up to 4) secondary databases, which are all opened with DB_CREATE | DB_AUTO_COMMIT flags.
Just recently we have added a memp_trickle every 5 seconds at 40% (Anything lower and it has no affect in the environment, in other words, db_stat shows dirty pages forced from the cached instead of trickled.) We are trying to reproduce this issue at this point. -

[POL-3019] there is insufficient space on the disk message when connecting
Hi there,
I get this message when I try to connect to an oracle lite database.
[POL-3019] there is insufficient space on the disk
There is diskspace enough, and I know the database limit is 4Gb. The database I want to connect to has this size.
I want to connect to the database to cleanup / inspect the database because of the size problems. But I can't connect to the database.
Is there an other way to connect to the database ?
Thanks in advance,
JaccoHi vasileios ,
I'm using oracle olite40.jar and try to connect from Linux using Jdeveloper 11.
