That normally occurs because someone has turned on system protection for the partition. I can't see your image just yet. 
Check to make sure that has not happened.
The following image is how the system protection  window should look
The following image is what you should see in your recovery partition if you have file options to show protected files. Anyhting else should not be there.

    Attempted solutions:
    -I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
    -I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.
    Google Drive Warning:
    Spotify Warning:        
    But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Premiere Elements reports low disk space error right at the end

    Ok, so I wait for 5 hours for a 3 hour long video to get saved to my computer.  It goes to 99% and then I get a low disk space error.  After I clear up space, and click Ok, it starts all over again.  Firstly, why doesn't PrE calculate/predict how much disk space I would need BEFORE starting to save, and secondly why does it at least not resume the saving process after I clear up disk space, instead it starts all over, with my 5 hours wasted?
    Some serisous usability issues.  Is it just me or do these things drive others crazy too? 
    Expected more from Adobe...

    Unfortunately, as PrE uses a 2-Pass Encoding scheme (helpful to get the best quality within the same file size), it does not know exactly how much space will be used, until well into the second pass - the first is a survey of any motion in the Clips on the Timeline, and the second is the actual Encoding, and writing of a file.
    Another consideration, regarding disk usage is whether one is Exporting/Sharing both Audio & Video. If one IS doing a Multiplexed file (with both an Audio and a Video Stream in one file), a Video-only file is written first, and then an Audio-only file, with a few "helper files" to be used in just a moment. Then, when that has completed, PrE reads those helper files, and creates the final, Multiplexed file. Last, the two separate Audio-only and Video-only files are Deleted. That takes some space, as at some point, one will have three large files, though two will be Deleted, along with the little helper files.
    How much defragmented, free-space do you have?
    What is your I/O setup, i.e. the number of physical HDD's, and how they are allocated?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • ITunes out of disk space error message. All downloads are paused

    I found a solution to my dilemma of a disk space error message with iTunes running on and XP Pro machine. In my case I am running a SBS server and have folder redirection enabled to point the My Docs folder to a network share. Come to find out Disk Quota's somehow was enabled this preventing me from downloading any new podcasts or music.
    Disk quota's are also a feature of XP (not sure but will assume so with Vista and 7). To check to see if Quota's are enabled, find the drive iTunes music is stored on. Open iTunes and click on Edit>Preferences>Advance. More than likely it will say C:\Documents and Settings... In my case it was an network share in the form of \\Server1\User Data\user.... If you are redirected to a network share than you will need help from your system administrator to fix the problem with Disk Quota's.
    Open My Computer and right click on the drive listed in the above process and select properties. There should be a tab called Quota. Check to see if Enable quota management is checked. You can simple uncheck this or give the person more space by editing the Quota Entries which is located on the bottom right.
    How this helps.

    I've seen that Quota thing on my home setup. Good to know - I'll continue to leave it alone!

  • IDVD reports strange insufficent disk space error message

    I want to create a slide show DVD. When I open the project "Project Information" shows DVD capacitiy 0.6GB of 4.2 GB used. That seems ok, but when I try to save as Image I get an "insufficent disk space" error message (On the disk there are 28 GB free). After trying to save the Image "Project Information" says
    5084435456,8 GB used - what's going on?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Are you doing the Save as Disk Image... correctly? This seem really odd.
    File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • LMS 3.2 server - low disk space error.. Upm.db increasing rapidly......please help

    we r facing problem of low disk space error......upm.db file incresing 1 to 2 gb per week.
    if this continues our disk will get full & system may get crashed...... pls help

    Probably most space is being consumed by CSCOpx\log.  To quickly cleanup some logs, you can manuall run the command:
    logrot_trunc c:\Progra~1\CSCOpx\log\syslog.log
    Assuming this is the correct path on your server.  You can also schedule log rotation to occur on a regular basis to avoid the logs growing past a certain point.  This can be scheduled under Common Services > Server > Admin > Log Rotation.
    Might also be a good idea to check if you have debugging turned on under the various modules in LMS to decrease the speed of the log growth by setting the logging to a lower level.

  • Low Disk Space in the installation drive

    Dear all,
    One of our test server, is running out of space in the installation drive.
    Do we have any standard jobs/Tcodes to reduce/shrink the disk space of installation drive.
    Please share your inputs,
    Regards,
    Younus

    Hi,
    Thanks Mark for directing the question to the right group.
    Elaborating the issue: It is a test PI server and it has been installed in the D drive of the machine.
    It was only one month ago the server was installed and now the system shows the error "Low disk space in D drive"
    10-12 GB of free space was there earlier and even the server didn't have many messages going through it in this period.
    Please help me with your inputs.
    Thanks

  • Low Disk Space Error on Install

    So I've been struggling on this all morning. I can't install
    flash player on my hard drive because it says I have a low disk
    space. I read on some forums that it's because the flash player
    software is hardcoded to check the 'C:\' for sufficient space. My
    hard drive is the 'H:'. My 'C:' drive is allocated as an usb but
    whenever I plug in a flash drive it defaults to 'K:'. I have tried
    to tinker around in disk management but I cannot rename or change
    my 'H' drive to be the 'C:'. I can not also rename the 'K:' to be
    the 'C:' either. This seems like such a simple problem, I'm a
    little disappointed that the software is written so that it checks
    the 'C' drive opposed to the drive the .exe file is running off of.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • "Not Enough Free Disk Space" error message, but Finder shows plenty of disk space available

    Apologies if this is a double post, but I have been searching all over and can't seem to find this issue in the forums.
    I have a 256GB Macbook with a fresh copy of Lion installed, am going through the process of migrating files back over, after which I have approximately 125GB free. However, whenever I go online and try to download any type of file (PDF, sofware install files, etc.), an error message displays saying:
    Safari could not download the file “blahblahblah.dmg” because there is not enough free disk space.
    Not sure how this is possible since the .dmg file is 18MB and Finder is saying there is over 125GB free. I've tried repairing disk permissions, booting off the Lion recovery disk and repairing the startup disk, all to no avail. Anyone had this issue before?

    Don Archibald wrote:
    Check in Safari's Preferences (in the Safari menu) to see what has been designated as the destination for downloads. If that has somehow been set to a disk image or a CD/DVD location, you'll get that 'not enough space' message.
    The same may occur if the download target location is set to a non-available drive. This can happen when aliases are used and things have been copied (migrated) from another drive.
    Thanks for the suggestion. That wasn't the problem, but your suggestion did shed light on something else. I was able to perform a right-click action and Save File As... to my Documents folder. On further analysis, it appears that the "Macintosh HD", Downloads folder, and Desktop are showing the "pencil with a line through it" icon in the bottom left of the Finder window, which would suggest those areas are read-only for some reason.
    My user account is the only one on the machine and it's an admin account. Any guesses as to why that might have set itself that way, or any suggestions on how to change it? I've already tried repairing permissions on the startup disk in Disk Utility.

  • Low disk space left on Q drive on T430s

    I have seen a few posts where a few others have had this problem but so far I'm having no luck figuring out how to fix it. I bought this laptop for my wife and set it up yesterday with no messages. Turned it on today and it now says I have only 1.67GB left of 13.6GB.
    How can I fix this problem... any help would be great.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Dan,
    I'm not sure why my Q drive is running low on disk space, but have read that once a back up had been done that this drive can be deleted. I did the back up thing but part of me wants to save the recovery on Q in case I lost the back up disks or that maybe there might not have copied correctly. I just don't understand as to why the disk space seems to be shrinking. Such a pain when no one seems to have any idea as to how to fix it.

  • Low disk space error

    When trying to navigate in large Word files--about 50 pages long, with many photo files within, I get an error message that I do not have enough disk space to save the file, or to continue working in the fil. My MacBook has 109.17 GB available on the HD (out of 148.7 GB), so it doesn't seem to be that. What other form of memory can it be referring to? What can I do about this? The computer is old, but new to me, and the hard drive was reformatted when I got it, about three months ago.

    Hi...
    The computer is old, but new to me, and the hard drive was reformatted when I got it, about three months ago.
    Disk space and memory (RAM) are two differen things.
    "not enough disk space" refers to the amount of free space on the hard disk.
    Even though the drive was reformatted, might be a good time to run Disk Utility to see if  the startup disk needs repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    While you have Disk Utiilty open, check the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom of the window. Make sure it says:  Verified

  • Scratch Disk Space Error Message!!!

    In Final Cut Pro HD no matter what I set the scratch disks to be (either my internal drive, or two external drives) the message is always the same and for no reason! It reads "Render Error: Insufficient disk space. Free up space with the Render Manager and retry?" After I see this I have increased the amount of room available on the scratch disks to maximum capacity, deleted my other render files, and etc. I don't know what options I have left. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

    Try creating a new sequence and copying over a few NON GRAPHIC files and see if the problem appears. If not the start bringing in graphics one at a time till you get the problem again.
    Make sure that your graphics are RGB and not CMYK.
