Low storage space

i have deleted apps on my i pod but it still comes up with low storage space, help?

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
I suspect that the "other" category is large. like > 1Gb and that it contains corrupt file. Restore the iPod delete the corrupted files.

Hi
You have a couple of options as I see it.
Are you storing any files on D:? It should not be used for storage and files you put there should be moved somewhere else.
Be sure Windows System Restore is turned OFF for the D drive
Control Panel (icon view) > System >Advanced System Settings > System Protection Tab
If it is ON for D:, highlight D: and click configure button, tick "turn off system restore" then OK, be sure to do this for D: and Not C:
2) Go to Start -> Control panel -> Back up & Restore -> Change the Drive to DVD Drive for back up.
3) Go to the D drive right click and run a Disc clean UP.
Let us know how it goes!

Imac keeps freezing due to low storage space

I have been a very iMac user since 2008 and now my iMac, iMac (24-inch, Early 2008), keeps freezing very often causing me to reboot it.
I have tried different methods, but none helps me. Does anyone have had similar experience?
Thank you for any support.

The content of the computer's hard disk drive, includes storage of your created works
files you made, images or music files, and the likes of which some flakey application
such as 'cleanmymac' won't really help with. To clear the problem, you'd have to invest
in an externally enclosed hard disk drive, and move/copy those items you sought to keep
to the external drive, then trash the originals from the computer's hard disk drive.
Or upgrade the internal hard disk drive to a larger capacity, and have an expert move
the content from the old drive into the new one, if you aren't skilled to do that task.
Also, the lack of free or unused hard drive capacity can be a problem with systemwide
performance; that is because the hard drive free space is usually available to the OS X
for use as Virtual Memory on an automatic level, in cases when there is not enough
actual chip RAM installed. The slower read-write to/from the hard disk drive takes the
place of suitable memory chip capacity, at a poorer rate of return compared to real RAM.
If your computer has less than 15% unused hard drive capacity, it will have issues; this
may vary depending on what you are using the computer for, & your open applications.
Back to RAM memory chips, if your computer has less than 6GB RAM installed, it may
be able to see a slight measure of performance gain (after removing excess files to
an outside hard drive) by upgrading this by use of suitable quality RAM chips. The OS X
versions after Snow Leopard 10.6.8 prefer more than 4GB and up, to work adequately.
•iMac: How to remove or install memory - Apple Support
Maximum Memory 6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots 2 - 200-pin PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
{the link above suggests less than factual upgrade capacity, so to
expand that to more than 4GB, you could use one 2-GB chip and
one 4-GB chip for a total of 6GB; or choose two 4-GB and not be
able to really see a gain from the rounding up to 8GB in your Mac}
Most credible Mac user advice, says to not use Mackeeper, Cleanmymac, or those
other non-productive third-party products; they don't really help the overall issues.
And they are very hard to completely remove; their remaining bits do affect OS X
performance and do more harm than good. So there are a few advice sections
in these ASC discussions where removing those kinds of badwares are mentioned.
Information can be found about adware, malware, and performance issues on the
pages of http://thesafemac.com and note the Tech Guides; plus link to adware medic.
You may be due to have the hard disk drive in the iMac replaced, if it's an original part.
They do wear out and when that happens, your data can all be lost. So address that
by the best means available. An iFixit.com repair guide for the build model year iMac
you have is online and can be used for free. You'd need to see it, though, when or if
the computer in use is taken offline for the procedure. Or let an expert do the upgrades.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Low storage space left on iPhone 4S

After the release of ios7 I wanted to load it so my phone would be up to date. Well even if I tried it won't work because evidently I don't have enough memory left. I have 2.3 GB left. The main source of my memory are my pictures and Pandora. I have deleted unnecessary and unused apps, cleared my browser history, deleted old alarms, reminders, and drafts in my inbox. I have even gone through reluctantly and deleted stations I don't listen to on Pandora anymore as well as older pictures and videos. I do not use my iTunes account on my phone. My biggest confusion I suppose comes from the fact that my mom has the same size capacity for memory on her phone (also an iPhone 4S), and had twice the amount of pictures (I have 632 where she has 1277), and also has pandora and she has closer to 9.5 GB memory remaining. She also has more games and apps that she uses more frequently than I do. Now Im due for an upgrade in the coming months but until that rolls around I don't want to have to pick and choose what pictures to capture or what memories to erase (my phone is essentially my camera as I no longer have a digital one).
So I guess my question is are there any other tips and options to gain more memory space?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Em126
If you go to Settings > General > Usage, it will provide you with a list of what apps are using the most data on your iPhone. Then you will have a sense of where you can remove data if you need to.

IPhone 5s playing video from iCloud takes up all free storage space and phone to crash

Hello All,
Traded in my 32GB iPhone 5 for a 16GB iPhone 5s today. Using the iPhone's built in "Video" app and streaming videos purchased in iTunes will sometimes cause the phone to freeze and fill of the phone's free space until the indicates free bytes in usage says 0. It seems like it is a software glitch as the phone works perfectly fine everyone else. I'm running iOS 7.0.3. I've also tried restoring the phone, which hasn't help.
Has anyone run into this before or have any suggestions?
Thanks.
Regards,
Chris

I've encountered the same issue tonight. Decided to purchase a movie and NOT download it to the iPhone 5S, but instead play it from the Videos app...which supposedly streams it from iCloud.
Half way through the film, a message informs me that I have low storage space. I check storage - 0kb.
I throw away 1.2GB of old apps and various pics / vids in my camera roll, then finish the movie. Just after watching, another message pops up...that 1.2GB was consumed as I watched the rest of the film.
It's almost as if the film was downloaded to the phone...taking up space (what was the point of "streaming" it from iCloud if it was going to take up such a great amount of space on the phone?) But it wasn't in my videos app as downloaded. I was missing 3 - 3.5 GB of space. There was no way to clear the cache. I tried everything (and I used to work for Apple as a highly competent iOS technical support advisor, so I DO mean everything).
In the end I decided to stop fooling with it and just erase the contents of the phone and restore to a backup.
But this is a SERIOUS bug in this system. I know "streaming movies from icloud" was a new feature with iOS 7...I hope they resolve this. Until then, I'll download movies if I want to watch them.

Treo 755p The free data storage space on the device is low. Some data could not be saved

After having the Treo 755p device for only a week, I am receiving a message "The free data storage space on the device is low. Some data could not be saved." I have over 55 mb of free space according to the device info page. I cannot find anything about this in the knowledge library, can anyone offer help?

Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

My problems are similar to Lauren, but backwards. For months now I have had problems with my Treo 755 reseting randomly. Sometimes during calls, sometimes while typing, sometimes while just sitting in the holster. As many as a dozen a day and then not at all for 2 weeks, no rhyme nor reason. This Free Space error though is brand new to me today and quite strange. The error is showing up when I bring my phone out of "sleep". I press the end button to sleep the phone and everything is fine. When I press it again to wake the phone up the error is sitting behind the keylock waiting for me.
Obviously I have done nothing yet for this new memory error, but I've tried everything for the reseting. Deleting software, Soft and hard resets, software updates, everything I and Sprint support can think of. With this new Free space error now I am going to just take it to a service center and demand a new phone. I think there is some kind of hardware error as I have done nothing in the programming. No new programs, no deleted programs, no changed settings.
I loved my Treo 650 and never had any problems with it. I am getting very disappointed in Palm now though with these ridiculous problems.

Storage space too low to function

After hotsync procedure, Palm TX now says "Extensions are not loaded because free data storage space on the device is low. Delete application or data then reset the device again. APP8004" After pressing "OK" it says "the free data storage space is very low. Delete application or data. APP 8002." Problem is it won't let me go the home screen - it just goes back through these warnings. How do I delete a program or two to free up space. My PDA has downloaded medical programs on it that were required for school. I don't yet have any documents or emails to delete. Help!

Whoops! Missed the part about not being able to get to the home screen!
Try a "Warm Reset". Press and hold the UP direction on your 5-way pad, and tap and release the Reset button in the back. Release the UP direction when the grey Palm logo appears on the screen.
This is like a "safe mode" boot on a Windows PC. It may let you get to the launcher screen and the Delete menu.

Your Time Capsule disk is low on storage space - error

I am getting the error "Your Time Capsule disk is low on storage space." and it now flashes amber. I use the time capsule to set up a wireless network and I can no longer access the internet from my MapBook Pro in another room, only if I am next to the Time Capsule. Help!!! Why is my time capsule low on storage space? I thought it is suppose to delete the old backups to make room for the new backups.

I too am getting the same low disk space issue on my Time Capsule, and have not been able to find an answer anywhere given that I thought the Time Capsule was meant to automatically delete old back-ups.
Those are two different, independent, things.
Since you can use a Time Capsule for things besides backups, there's a built-in warning (the flashing light) when it gets near full (exactly how full is not clear).
Time Machine is separate; when it doesn't have space for a new backup, it will delete the oldest backup(s) as necessary, if it can, to make room for new ones.
The handling is a bit different, though, for Leopard vs. Snow Leopard.
In Leopard, if you have the +Warn when old backups are deleted+ box checked in Time Machine Preferences > Options, it will fail with a message. All you have to do is remove the check.
In Snow Leopard, it will delete old backups as necessary, do the backup, then send a message if you have the box, now worded +Warn after old backups are deleted,+ checked.
See #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details.

"Your Time Capsule Disk is Low on Storage Space" What are my options?

Hi I just got a message from Airport Utility that my Time Capsule is low on Disk space. My 500 GB Time Capsule only has 25GB of space left. What do I do? Do I have to purchase a 1GB Time Capsule. Can I simply replace my 500 GB Time Capsule with a 1GB Time Capsule. Will the new Time Capsule remember all my network and computer settings? Thanks

Welcome to the discussions!
You didn't mention if you were using Time Machine for your backups to your Time Capsule, but I will assume that you are.
Some users reason that they don't need all the backups from many months ago and elect to erase the TC and start over with a complete backup. The risk here is that you have no backup until the new full backup is completed.
And, if you have transferred files from your computer to the TC and then deleted the files on your computer, you lose those files if the TC is erased.
In theory, you don't need to do anything as Time Machine will simply start to delete the oldest versions of backups to make room for new backups. My 500 GB TC ran out of space a few months ago. I used to be able to see how my computer looked a year ago. Now, I can see how how it looked about 11 months ago.
If you want to preserve every backup since day one, then you will need to add more storage space. If you purchase a new Time Capsule, Time Machine backups will continue on the new machine.
If you get a new Time Capsule, there would be very little configuration required. Basically, the new device would be setup as a bridge to the old Time Capsule using a short ethernet cable. You would need to reset Time Machine by pointing it at the new Time Capsule for backups.

My phone keeps saying I am running low on storage space. Over half of the contents in it is in the "other" category. what does that include? I wish to have more music

I have a 16GB iphone but am an avid music lover. I own tons of music. I have iMatch and iCloud. As of right now my phone says I only use about half of the storage space on it in audio. Very litle is used for apps or pictures. I have another half of the storage space in a category called "Other". What is in that category? I would really like to add more music however my storage keeps stating I am almost full and need to manage. I would delete things if I thought it would make more room but it seems to take very little room off when I remove apps and pictures and does not really affect the other category. Someone please help describe what is in that category and how I can change add more room. Thank you!

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

HT204053 I have multiple apple devices, 2x phones ipad etc, but all are through the same email and I only get the storage space for one device, what should I do?

I have multiple devices all under the same id and email but I don't get multiple icloud storage space and it's running out!
Can anyone help as I've just bought an iphone for my daughter and would like to link it as well.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

One icloud account gets a 5 GB of storage, regardless of the number of devices connecting to it. But you're in luck, you can buy more storage for the account if you are running low.
As for your daughter, be sure to get her own icloud account, otherwise she'll end up getting all your email, contacts, etc. And if she deletes any of this data, it will be deleted on your devices as well. Note: you can all keep using the same ID for the itunes store for sharing purchased items.
To create a new icloud account, go to

Storage Spaces UI missing disks when a controller reports the same UniqueID for all attached disks (e.g. Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8)

Summary: The Storage Spaces UI has several problems when there are more than 21 physical disks available to Storage Spaces.
I have 28 SATA disks connected over 6 controllers. 2 are used for an Intel motherboard RAID1 for OS (PhysicalDisk0), so that leaves 26 data disks for Storage Spaces. [The plan is to get to 36 data disks in due course by adding disks (this 36-bay chassis: http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847A-R1400LP.cfm)]
Initially, there were 23 data disks (5x 1TB, 1x 640GB, 14x 500GB, 3x 250GB) as PhysicalDisk1-23 (in that order), which I put into a storage pool. I created a parity disk over all 23 disks. It looks like it is working fine, albeit very slowly on writes.
I've now added 3 more 4TB disks, as PhysicalDisk24-26, and taken them offline, and have now noticed errors in the Storage Pools UI in the Server Manager. For example:
* No more than 21 disks ever show up in the "Physical Disks" area in the lower right. When the 23 disks are connected, only the first 21 show up in the pool I created. With 26 disks connected, only the first 20 show up in the pool, and only 1 more of the
new 3 (PhysicalDisk26) shows up in the Primordial group.
* In the Properties of the parity Virtual Disk created over the 23 disks, the disks are shown incorrectly. Again, only 21 disks are shown, and PhysicalDisk26 is incorrectly shown as part of the virtual disk. See image:
* Using the New Storage Pool Wizard, I cannot add more than 1 of the new 3 disks to a new Storage Pool (only PhysicalDisk26 is available). And the details incorrectly refer to PhysicalDisk21. See image (a WDC WD2500JD-22H is a 250GB disk, not a 4TB disk).
Thus I cannot use the new disks in a new storage pool.
According the blog post at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/01/05/virtualizing-storage-for-scale-resiliency-and-efficiency.aspx:
Q) What is the minimum number of disks I can use to create a pool? What is the maximum?
You can create a pool with only one disk. However, such a pool cannot contain any resilient spaces (i.e. mirrored or parity spaces). It can only contain a simple space which does not provide resiliency to failures. We do test pools comprising multiple hundreds
of disks – such as you might see in a datacenter. There is no architectural limit to the number of disks comprising a pool.
However, the UI currently does not seem to correctly work with more than 21 physical disks. Please advise.
Using Server 2012 RC.
Hardware: Supermicro X8SAX (BIOS v2.0), Intel i7-920 2.67GHz, 6x 2GB DDR3-1333 (certified Crucial CT25664BA1339.16SFD)
Disk controllers: 2x RAIDCore BC4852 (PCI-X, final 3.3.1 driver) (15 ports used), 2x Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 (PCIe, 4.0.0.1200 Marvell driver to allow >2TB disks) (6 ports used), Sil 3114 (PCI, latest 1.5.20.3 driver) (1 port used), motherboard Intel
in RAID mode (4 ports used for data, plus 2 for OS RAID1).

An update. I added 16x SATA disks across 2x Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8. All 16 disks report the same UniqueID.
I have 25 disks in the pool now (23 as parity; 2 as journal added via PowerShell). 10 of these are on the two AOC-SASLP-MV8 controllers. Only the first 16 disks show up in the UI, so 9 are missing from the UI - which is consistent with this UI bug where
only one disk per UniqueID shows up. PowerShell does work to manage the SS.

Is the iCloud Drive storage space independent of the original iCloud? Do they share space? Can you use them both at the same time?

Does Apple provide 5GB storage with both iCloud and iCloud Drive for a total of 10GB? Or are they shared for a total of 5GB? I am running low on space in my original iCloud (4.7GB used), and would like to move my photos to iCloud drive and stop them from saving in original iCloud, but want to continue to use iCloud for all my other data backups/settings/etc. Thanks!

iCloud Drive is simply a newer version of iCloud (newer set of features) for handling available documents and allowing third party apps access.. Otherwise it is still part of the you overall iCloud service. Unless you choose to pay for additional storage, your total iCloud space is 5 GB.

How can I configure ReFS to NOT fail read operations when a checksum error is detected (on non-Storage-Spaces volumes where data integrity streams are enabled)?

According to William Stanek, in his Windows Server 2012 R2 Inside Out: Configuration, Storage & Essentials book, this is apparently possible: (pg. 615 - here it is on Google Books: https://books.google.ca/books?id=0IyfBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT819&lpg=PT819&dq=read+operation )
Integrity can be enabled when the system is not running on Storage Spaces. When
integrity is enabled and ReFS detects a checksum mismatch, ReFS logs an event and
fails the read operation by default. If you don’t want the read operation to fail, you
can configure ReFS to continue with the read operation. A related event will be logged
regardless.
So then how do I configure it to do that???
(And just to make it super-clear, I'm NOT using Storage Spaces, so there is no redundancy via mirroring/parity, and I'm not expecting any file repair - just detection of corruption. It's just a basic volume formatted with ReFS and
with integrity streams enabled, via format E: /fs:ReFS /i:enabled
For those who want more details, here's the situation:
I try to perform a read operation on a file with corrupted data (purposely done for testing using a low-level disk editor), I get a the following error message:
And an event ID 133 from ReFSv1 gets logged in the System log:
Clicking "Try Again" just brings up the same message, and clicking "Skip" skips the operation entirely.
This is indeed the correct default behaviour.
What I want instead is for the read operation to be allowed to complete, with corrupt data and all, and ONLY for the event to be logged. And according to William Stanek, this is supposed to be configurable somewhere - and after hours of searching, I haven't
been able to find anything.

Hi Tommy,
>>How can I configure ReFS to NOT fail read operations when a checksum error is detected
We can use PowerShell command Set-FileIntegrity to configure this. The specific parameter for controlling this behavior is
-Enforce <Boolean>which indicates whether to enable blocking access to a file if integrity streams do not match the data.
Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to as reference.

Blue sceen appeared after low disk space warning

Hi Everyone, just seen a message stating a low disk space on my Mac pro bought last November and tried plugging in an external hard drive to remove some pictures to free up some space but it seems that the computer did not have enough space left to start up and run the hard drive. I then tried to restart and ended up with a blue screen and have no knowledge now how to fix this problem. I phoned support but they say I have no technical support left but do have warranty and I would need to either try with the community here or take the unit to an apple store for an appointment. The store is an 1 and 1/2 from me and I really want o see if there is another fix that could allow me to start again then remove some files and then add external drive to remove more. I was blown away at the low amount of storage.....looked for the icloud option last night to upload there as i was told about this by a UK client of mine and now see it is not up and running. Any advice or help by the communtiy would be greatly appreciated as this is my business and travelling laptop. Cheers, Dean <")))><

Hi Dean,
You may be able to access it via FireWire Target Disk Mode: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
If so, move and delete enough so you have at least 15% free space on the MBP's HD. After that, run Repair Disk:
First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on theUtilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.
