Info showing disk is full while it isn't: why?

My hard drive info shows that I only have 1 gig left, while looking at the various components of my Mac HD I have realized this is not correct: I tried repairing permissions etc. to no avail. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this.
Thank you!

Hi Felix,
Can you tell us exactly what you are looking at that indicates the free drive space being only 1GB left? Something sounds really odd about that as you need 15% bare minimum of free drive space just to boot a Mac and probably more like 20% considering it's a MacBook Air running Leopard.
The best way to view free space on your drive is to launch Disk Utility, (Applications/Utilities). Once the DU window opens, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, then look down to the right where it says: Capacity and Available. Tell us exactly what you see there and report back please.

  • Why does TimeMachine say the disk is full when it isn't?

    Hello!
    A lot of my backups recently have been failing because TimeMachine says the disk is full, when that simply isn't true. As of right now, I have 1.18 TB available of
    2 TB. Why do my backups fail even when sufficient space is there?
    Thank you so much in advance!!!

    This main explanation is here.
    OS X Yosemite (10.10)
    This is pretty much equivalent to kids talking to each other on tin cans over a wet string.
    The TM in Yosemite is also exceedingly bug infested.
    The best solution for now..
    1. Use ethernet instead of wireless to do backups.
    2. If you upgrade installed Yosemite a clean install might improve it.
    3. Using local disk (USB drive plugged in for example) can be a huge improvement over networks and wireless.
    4. If you continued the backup from the old OS, wipe the TC disk and start over a new TM backup. (you can archive the old one if you want to maintain the history).
    5. Use an alternative to TM until apple get their act together.. eg Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper etc.

  • Macbook air shows disk almost full not much on computer

    My macbook Air show an almost full disk, only 8 out of 60 left. I can't backup iPhone. There is really not very much stuff on thr notebook.

    With only a 64GB drive, it doesn't take much to fill the drive, especially if you are syncing an iPhone, iPod, and/or iPad with it. You may want to consider an aftermarket SSD upgrade or using an SD Card to offload some data too.

  • I keep getting a message "Your startup disk is full" but it isn't

    I keep getting a message "Your startup disk is full" and my space on the HD fluctuates every second. I have 113 Gbs of free space, but it disappears within seconds and reappears again and repeats.

    Yes you should back it up.
    Do you have the OS 10.6 disk? You will need it. If you don't have it, you can get one here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    The repair disk procedure does not erase anything on the drive. But before you go any further you should back it up.

  • My computer says startup disk is full but it isn't.  Is there a fix?

    I'm getting a message saying my startup disk is full, and I need to delete files.  However, I'm only using about 15% of my hard drive (macbook is less than a year old).  Any suggestions what might be going on?

    How do you know you're only using 15% of the hard drive? 
    There could be a number of things going on. In the first instance, I'd run Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and use it to run Verify Disk.

  • I have deleted 100 GB from my startup disk and I still get a message that my disk is full when editing my video Why?

    I have a 27 inch Imac Mid 2011,
    Processor 2.7Ghz intelcore i5
    Memory 12 GB 1333Mhz DDR3
    OSX Yosemite
    I am trying to edit some videos using iMovie. My storage seems to disappear very rapidly and I cant get it back. I have deleted all my photos, Music, downloads and video files from the startup disk and recently (today) deleted 100GB of video files from the theatre in iMovie. I have tried to edit a single movie and in no time I was getting messages that my startup disk is full.
    Why is this happening?
    where has my storage space gone?
    How can I get it back?
    Why cant I use my external 2TB usb disk as the default storage path for my videos?
    I need some answers quick. can anyone help? I am sure I am not the only person who edits videos on the Mac.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
    You should never, EVER let a computer 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 or Aperture, both have 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 are an iMovie/ Final Cut user, both apps have their own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
    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.
    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.
    To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
    http://www.omnigroup.com/more
    Also, Find Any File
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/downloadonyx.php
    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.
    Moving iTunes library
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Moving iPhoto library
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
    Moving iMovie projects folder

  • Error message startup disk is full but it isn't

    I have emptied trash, and cleared folders, I have only had the notebook a month, so it really cant have the 675,240 files on it! any ideas??

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    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 restart the computer. 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 as  Backups. 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. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) 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. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    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 or GP 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 the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding 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
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    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 by pressing 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. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything 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 the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Startup Disk Almost Full (but it isn't!)

    Hello all,
    I've had a problem recently with my iBook G4 where I get a warning that my 'start up disk is almost full' every hour or so. The thing is, when I look at the Finder (or the Activity Monitor) it shows I have almost 8 gigs of hard drive free (and usually 200 plus megs of memory.)
    I recently was advised that I needed more RAM, as the person thought maybe system resources were taking up my extra memory, so I put in 512. This seemed to make the problem less frequent, but has not stopped it (it was happening multiple times an hour prior to the memory upgrade.) Incidentally, I do keep my firmware updated.
    Also, for what it's worth, I try to keep as few applications open as possible--this will happen when I am only running iTunes and Safari.
    I suppose it's not the end of the world to have the warning pop up all the time, but it is pretty irritating.
    All suggestions welcome.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Hey Ben!
    What size hard drive is inside your iBook?
    It's recommended to have 10% free space at minimum and 25% for "optimal" performance.

  • TC says disk is full, but it isn't

    Hi There,
    My 500 GB Time Capsule now and then gives me the message "Disk is almost Full" (roughly translated from dutch) and states that older backups will be overwritten.
    When I check disk however, there still is more then enough space left (something like 240 GB).
    Is there something wrong? Are older backups overwritten? Is there a setting I've mist, where you can set the maximum backup usage size?
    Thanks in advance,
    Benjamin

    I get this error message or I get "The backup is larger than the available space" (which it isn't).
    I have no idea what the solution is but I'm done with Time Machine and Time Capsule, I'm switching my 1TB TC to a NAS and reverting to Mac Backup at least that way I can restore libraries simply rather than having to remember file names etc.

  • "The operation can't be completed because the disk is full" when trying to compress files

    Trying to compress my files because my computer keeps saying that my startup disk is almost full. However, when I try to compress my files, I get an error that reads "The operation can't be completed because the disk is full." Does anyone know why this is happening? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

    Yes. You are trying to create more files taking up more space on the computer. Compressing files only reduces disk space used after you remove the uncompressed file.
    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.

  • Getting messages "startup disk is full" and activity monitor is showing "syslog d" is using a lot of CPU.  I'm planning on getting more memory for my late 2008 model Macbook but wondering if there's something that is causing problems that I can also fix.

    I had closed out of all of my programs but heard the internal fans running so I checked the activity monitor.  It shows syslog d as the top process using the CPU right now.  I have no idea what that means.
    I read a thread about the startup disk being full and how you can free up memory.  I have an airport extreme so TimeCapsule is backing up everything.  I do have a bunch of pictures on iPhoto on the laptop;  could move those to another location but I'm a little gunshy.  I know they are on the TimeCapsule but I would like to save them to a second place before deleting from laptop just to be sure.  I went through several things yesterday and emptied trash, etc.  I wasn't able to locate the hidden files that the thread about the startup disk being full was referencing --- they were talking about large emails that were causing processes to happen taking up the CPU.... I wasn't able to find out if that was the case for me. 
    Also I'm going to look into getting another 2MB of memory and installing it on the Macbook, so I can upgrade to the latest OS.  Anyone have an idea if that is worth the $$$ over buying a new laptop?  Or anyone have ideas as to where to buy memory, etc.
    Any ideas - help!

  • Logic showing disk full when it's not

    while tracking the other day on a clients song twice logic (8.2 on 10.4.11) the disk status showed that the disk was full and stopped recording. while this has never happened before, this only happened while using punch in function. after shutting down the song and reloading, the disk went back to normal reporting of space left (457gb out of 500gb). does anyone know if this a logic bug or just an anomaly associated with this particular song file.
    thanks
    rick

    Hopefully it will never happen again, but there's no need for a thumb drive or an internet connection. Sometimes it's helpful to have a screenshot showing the error dialog, but often it's sufficient just to note the exact text appearing in the message. And you can do this the old-fashioned way, with a pencil and paper. Or even a quill and parchment! (If you're working in a really old-fashioned studio.)
    logic seems to be doing a lot of these anomalous things lately and it's really annoying.
    One way or another there has to be an explanation, so if these things happen again and you post more information, I bet you'll be able to find solutions.

  • Download error:disk was full. How do I download more shows?

    I received a download error: disk was full. What do I need to do to download shows?

    I had the same problem. The Apple TV (first generation) was set to streaming, so it being "full" didn't entirely make sense. What's more, it meant that the options to remove content were not available. I finally solved the problem by resetting the Apple TV to its factory settings and starting over. It won't even allow me to choose "Streaming" for setting it up now. So I have it set up as a "Synching" Apple TV.

  • It shows startup disk is full but i use just only 350gb of my hd disk from 500gb.

    my macbook shows its startup disk is full but i use just 350gb of my 500gb hd.

    That pretty clearly shows the drive is full. So first a question: Why do you believe there's an error? How do you know there's only 350 GB in use? Second is to do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Again, check your drive usage for any changes.

  • Scratch Disk Full While Cropping Image In Photoshop

    I saw another post on this, but they were able to resolve their issue on their own. I still think I have an issue.
    I have a Macbook Pro (80GB harddrive where I've only used 51GB). A couple of days ago I upgraded the RAM from 512MB to 2GB. I recently used Adobe Photoshop CS (ver.8.0), and while attempting to crop an image (22.8MB), an error pops up saying: "could not complete your request because scratch disks are full".
    Now my scratch disk, I have the following:
    1st: Startup
    2nd: Hard drive
    3rd: none
    4th: none
    So, with this set up (and even if I make the image smaller), their is not enough scratch disk space. I have plenty of space in my harddrive. Wondering if the recent upgrade of RAM has anything to do w/ this situation. Anyway, any advice is much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.
    C.

    Bob,
    Activity Monitor says I have plenty of memory.
    "Memory" refers to RAM, whereas the "scratch disk" is your hard drive. 50 GB available before you start working with Photoshop files may seem a lot, but when you open large files, it is not that much. It may really run full. If the same is the case with a little 4 MB file (without having just worked on a 30 MB file during the same session), this is really weird.
    Check your disk space with Activity Montor and select +Hard Disk load+ (or something like this; I don't work on an English OS). CPU > Memory > Hard Disk Activity > *Hard Disk Load* > Network.
    Have you got an external hard drive with more than 50 GB free that you could use as a scratch disk test drive instead of your internal?
