Just cleared all programs on ibook, yet says it there is not enough memory

I went to the genius bar and they fixed a software issue my computer had by wiping my entire harddrive clean. When I came home and tried to install a program, however, my computer told me that there is 0KB of space left. I installed Appleworks successfully, but there aren't any other programs on my computer. There's no way all of my space is used up. Any help?

That is good! The 10.04 on disk is the OS and all the applications and your data and all the stuff that is on your hard drive. The 45.72 is what's free and available, so yes indeed you do have lots of free space. 10.04 GB sounds about right for the OS and a few other things. It's about what I had after an Erase and Install.
Now I wonder about the message saying that you had 0 KB of space--I am wondering where you got that from and under what circumstances. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the actual free space on your hard drive. Maybe you could explain how you got that message.
Now that you have established that you do in fact have lots of space, there are a couple of free programs you can download that will tell you what is using up your disk space:
WhatSize: http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize/
Disk Inventory X: http://www.derlien.com
If you did an Erase and Install, you won't have a "Previous System" folder. If you did an Archive and Install, it should be on your desktop.
The oddity here is the "0 KB" message you got--it just doesn't make any sense in view of your hard drive. I wonder if in fact it might have referred to something else entirely?
Good luck!

  • TS1503 My iPhone 4 says that there is not enough memory to download apps like Facebook and Instagram. When plugged into iTunes it says that 4GB is filled with "other". How do I clear the "other"?  What is this?

    My iPhone 4 says that there is not enough memory to download apps like Facebook and Instagram. When plugged into iTunes it says that >4GB is filled with "other". How do I clear the "other"?  What is this?

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

    I'm trying to buy some music and iTunes says there is not enough memory available?

    I found the answer for real.  I called apple and talked to some dude.  All you have to do is clear your payment information, save it and then re-enter it.  thats the  bug, thats it.
    go to the store drop down menu on the itunes toolbar... click view my account... click edit payment information... select 'none' for your credit card...click done...   then try and buy your music...  if you have a gift card or whatever.   if you are just using your credit card or debit card, re-enter your payment information.
    it worked for me i hope it works for you.

  • Issue with turning on project 2010 / 2013 - "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."

    I get the following error after the installation and configuration window of MS Project: "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."
    It happens both with MS Project 2010 and 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop. 
    I tried installing / uninstalling Office 2010, MS Project, tried installing 32 and then 64 bit versions, clean up, disk error checker, startup changes (msconfig), anti virus, running as Windows 7 and then Windows XP compatible mode. 
    Nothing helps. I see this issue reported as early as 2007 version of MS projects on Microsoft forums, but I do not see any solution anywhere. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue without having to reformat hard drive? Every other application, including
    all other Office programs work seamlessly. 
    I also tried Microsoft support, after an hour and a half of basically doing what I did before, I was told I have to pay 99$ for "premium" support, so someone can look at this bug. 
    I have 16 Gb RAM and more than 200Gb or hard drive free, so actual memory is not the problem. 

    This issue was originally reported with MS Project 2007 and keeps popping up since.
    A quick Google search provides more than 200K pages of results of this issue:
    https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren't+using%2C+and+then+try+again.

    Computer was defragged already. I run more tests, and specifically when MS Projects tries to run, it tries to take all memory, more than 300Gb, on the computer. (DropBox was running at the same time, and warned that there were no space. As soon as MS Project
    stopped attempting to configure itself, everything came back to normal and the available space became available again.)
    Looking through older forum posts, looks like this application tries to take "unlimited" amount of memory. Some registry fixes are mentioned potentially, but I was not able to apply them. 
    Since everything else works, this is a MS Project bug reported by multiple users on various versions of Windows, including Vista and 7, so please provide a fix and not 'not a know bug' lie. All the premium support will say, is to format the hard drive, unless
    they have a patch or a registry edit solution. If the latter is true, since the issue exists for multiple years, it should have been already been provided to users.
    Also, I am not running a SQL server, or any server, this is an installation on a local machine.

    Try

    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs

  • There is not enough memory available to run this program

    Hi!
    I am trying to install Oracle 9i Personal Edition of a P-4 machine with 37GB hdd space (primary partition) with 768mb of installed RAM on Windows 98 SE. After installing 100% with typical settings of General Database, during the database configuration it gives out me an error message saying "There is not enough memory available to run this program. Quit one or more programs, and then try again" though I have 88% of RAM free and no other programs are running at this time. Please help.

  • Microsoft Excel won't open because it says there is not enough memory?

    I'm trying to open Microsoft Excel and a prompt appears stating that there is not enough memory even though I have 140gb available of a 250gb hard drive. Any suggestions?

    You're right, i did. But how do I clear out available RAM? When I check the Activity Monitor and then System Memory it says I have 1.3gb available. That SHOULD be enough. Right?

  • When i sync my iphone it says that there is not enough room in my itunes library what do I do?

    When I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes, it says that there is not enough room in my itunes library for my phone to sync. Why is this? Do I need to delete stuff off my library? Or is my laptop too full? Or is it that my phone hasn't got enough space? ...Or something else?

    Why is this so difficult to figure out?
    The message is quite clear.  The size of the iTunes library is larger than the space available on the device.
    Stop attempting to sync the entire library to the device.
    Select the desired content to sync to the device.
    Sync.

  • Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets.

    Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets. My main hard drive only has a few hundred Mb left on it so i bought a 1 Tb external hard drive and want to know how to make iDVD use the space on the external hard drive instead trying to use the main hard drive. Any help would be awesome! thanks

    Hi
    Yes - This is important.
    Free Space - Must be on the Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk and can not be used on any other.
    My safe level is a minimum of 25Gb free space - to let iDVD and Mac OS run OK.
    This is due to that Mac OS X is in reality UNIX and there by needs lot's of temporary space for temp. files and so does the application iDVD. And this can not be addressed elsewhere.
    So to free up space - one thing is to move iMovie Events to an external hard disk BUT THIS MUST BE DONE Right Else all can be lost ! !
    • Never move or adjust any folders Named - iMovie Events or iMovie Projects - on Desktop/Finder - links will breake and can be hard to impossibly to heal. ALL movings must be done within iMovie Application (it goes for iMovie'08 to 11)
    • External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will NOT WORK FOR VIDEO - nearly everything else BUT NOT VIDEO.
    Yours Bengt W
