My hp_tools E it's running out of space, what i have to do?

I get a window that says my disc space is full, always say that I have to run a backup, I all ready do it but the it run out of space again, what i have todo on my notebook 2000?

Welcome to the forum IronHide,
You should never be storing anything in the hp_tools partition; it should be able to take care of itself -- it is just large enough for what belongs there.
As to the rest:  Backups do not do anything to make the data smaller, they just protect what you have in the event that something happens to your computer and you need to restore something from the backup media.
As a Refresher:

You did not tell us your Operating System -- the maintenance steps are about the same for both Windows 7 and Windows 8 once you get past the Winodws 8 "front bits", that is, the "Start Screen". 
Essentially you need to remove some of the "extra stuff" that has accumulated over time, that is, the temporary files from your internet travels, the junk you put in the trash that is still lingering there and didn't really "go away", and maybe some of the left over "temporary installation files" from previous installations.  There are programs to take care of all of this; you do not have to search your computer for files lurking in the corners.
You can also run a Disk Defragmentation program to realign the programs and files on your system -- this takes a while, but it does make things clean and tidy.
You can use these guides to help you get started on understanding what you might need to do:

  • I have plenty of space on my harddrive but stil if i try to  imprort few pics i get an error message stating that my iphoto library disk is running out of space. I have only 137 MB worth of pictures; How to incease the size of my iphoto library?

    I have plenty of space on my hard drive 1.5GB But still when I try importing some pictures in to Iphoto it tells me that the iphoto library is running out of space
    How do i solve this problem so that I can import my pictures
    thanks

    I have plenty of space on my hard drive 1.5GB
    You do not have "plenty of space". You are facing a major crisis with a severe risk of dataloss unless you act very fast indeed. This is your first priority.
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

  • Can you archive old calendar items in Entourage so you don't run out of space on your Blackberry?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Sprint Pearl 8130 and I am syncing with PocketMac to Entourage 2004 on an iBook G4 running OS 10.3.
    Most of my syncing issues are minor (for some reason, in contacts, work and home email addresses switch fields, but I can live with that) and I don't have too many complaints about PocketMac for now....
    My question is - Does anyone know how to archive old calendar items so that my Blackberry doesn't run out of space? I have calendar items going back to the beginning of 2008.  I don't need past calendar items on my Blackberry, except for reoccurring items, like birthdays and such, and maybe a month's worth of old appointments just for reference.  My Blackberry has run out of space a couple of times and when it deletes the appointments from my Blackberry, syncing wants to either delete from the Mac or restore to the Blackberry.  I know you can do this with a Palm and their Palm software, since I used to have one and I was able to archive items older than a week.  Then you would be able to access them in a separate archive profile.
    I have searched everywhere and the closest thing I can find is to purchase Missing Sync and set to match my sync date range.  https://support.markspace.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=327.  But that doesn't really solve my issue of running out of space on my Blackberry.  The other thing that I could think of is to export the calendar items into a .rge file, then delete the calendar items from there, sync, and have PocketMac remove items from my Blackberry, but it would be a pain to easily access old calendar items.
    I appreciate any thoughts, ideas and especially solutions!

    I have the exact opposite issue you mentioned
    my client wants his archived calender items to be synched to his 8830 world wide ed.
    he is running RIM software (DesktopManager) v 6.4
    BES 2007
    current issue is that his archived old calendars are not synchronizing to his handheld; we tried to force his PC to synch those items manually through cable, which didn't help, since our BES policy force waireless synch policy to the device and wireless synch never can see the archived items files
    I think if you can set the option on your device so it turns on the calendar wireless synch, and also make sure MAC does not select archive to synch
    Calendar > Options > General settings or /Wireless synch set to ON;
    if you running BES set Calendar Wireless synch off

  • Time Machine keeps running out of space

    This is really annoying. Starting about 2-3 months ago, my Time Machine suddenly keeps running out of space. I have a MacBook Pro bought in 2009 summer with 500 GB Hard Drive. My Time Machine drive is als 500 GB. I currently have 117 GB left in my MacBook's hard drive, and 65 GB left in my Time Machine's drive.
    As of this moment my Time Machine only have 1 backup that was done Yesterday. It's trying to create a new backup, but can't because apparently it needs 69 GB while I only have 65 GB.
    Why does it need 69 GB? I can't imagine a reason why. I haven't downloaded anything more than 1 GB, if even that much, most likely not, and all I do on this MacBook is pretty much browsing. In any case, it's hard to imagine there's a 69 GB data change between yesterday and today. That's a lot of data by any standard.
    Thanks for any help!

    If your internal disk is 500GB with 117GB free then you are using 383GB
    and your Time Machine disk is too small. It is recommended that your
    Time Machine disk is 2 to 3 times bigger than the data you are backing up.
    There are also some tools you can get that will display details from the
    logs to show you what is being backed up, it may be worth getting one of
    those to determine why the backup is so big. I think the first thing you
    should do is get a bigger disk.

  • Help!  I'm running out of space for my operating system.

    I keep getting a message that my operating system is running out of space. I have 1.05 GB free. I'm not a novice with Mac, but do know Windows better. I would be happy to clean up my disk, but am not sure how to do it or if I can find a way to expand my memory.....
    Any help?

    louisak,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    A startup hard drive showing 1 GB free on an computer running a flavor of Unix (which OS X is) can indeed be effectively running out of room. Unix makes heavy use of scratch and swap files on the hard drive; the amount of needed swap space varies depending on how much real RAM you have and how manu programs you run concurently, but 256 to 512 MB swap spac eon disk is common (this Mac currently shows 256 MB for 3 swap files in /private/var/vm even through only 72 MB of that is in use). In addition, if you burn -R or -RW optical discs, you'll need at least as much free space as the size of the dissc to allow creation of the temporary image file used in the burning, about 700 MB for CD-R and 4.7 GB for DVD-R. As a ballpark rule-of-thumb, minimum free hard drive space should be at least 1 GB (no optical disc burning), 2 GB (CD-R burning), or 5 GB (DVD-R burning), so the warning message you're seeing is expected.
    It's critical that you free up space on the hard drive as soon as possible. In the interim, close out any programs you're not immediately using and try yo run no more than one program at a time. If a Unix computer does run out of hard drive space, it can be blocked from normal startup and leave you looking at booting into single-user mode to manually clear enough files to start up again.
    There are a number of ways to free up hard drive space, depending on your comfort level rooting around the OS X System, how valuable your files are, and your budget. There are several utilities that can help you ID unneeded large files, but I'd be hesitant to download anything onto your computer until you free up at least 2 GB to work with. Start by going through your user data and trashing files you don't really need.
    If you use Firefox, check the ~/Users/ [username]/ Library/ Application Support/ Firefox/ Profiles/ [text].default/ folder for excess backup bookmarks files (bookmarks-##.html); thise can take up about 1 MB each and you don't really need more than the latest backup (when I last checked my work Mac, there were about 200 backup bookmarks files, so that's a fair chunck of drive space).
    Continue with the tips at The X-Lab's Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk. The easiest way by far to free up space on the startup drive is to add an external Firewire drive and move your iTunes / iPhoto libraries and other user date to that drive, then delete the originals from the startup hard drive. See How to move the iPhoto Library Folder to a new location and Moving your iTunes Music folder. The localization tips in the X-Lab link can also free up a significant amount of space, but pay heed to the warnings about not deleting things unless you know what it is you're deleteing, especially when it comes to System-level items.
    If you've ever experienced a crash, especially while tring to burn a CD-R or DVD-R, there may be normally temporary files left behind on the hard drive. You can use a utility like OnyX and use it to clear temporary files, logs and caches and (especially) core files. (In Unix, a core file is a snapshot of the system at the time of a crash and is useful for code debugging, but unless you have a debugger installed the core files just take up space.)
    Another useful utility is Whatsize, which lets you check file sizes. Use this to look for files ending in .tmp and the like. If you ID files you suspect can be trashed but aren't sure, post back witht he file's name and check in the Discussions for anyone who can say "sure, that's safe to trash" or "no, leave it alone". when trashing files, you can move things to the Trash but hold off emptying the Trash for a while to check that the computer operates normally.

  • I keep on getting this error when i try to copy files to my 2T Time Capsule, Please help im running out of space on my MacBook Pro.... The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)

    I keep on getting this error when i try to copy files to my 2T Time Capsule, Please help im running out of space on my MacBook Pro....
    The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)

    I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
    Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
    You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
    A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
    If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

  • Time Machine failure: Disk run out of space unexpectedly

    Hi
    I'm having serious problems in the last few days with Time Machine backups.
    I have an iMac '27 (late 2009) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. The internal disk is 1 TB, and I use an external FW HD LaCie d2 Quadra 1 TB for my TM backups. After 3 years the disk is always full, but old backups were regularly removed. All the possible source of large variable files were excluded long time ago (VM disks, temporary directories, large download files).
    TM used to work quite smoothly, but now, since 10 days, the backup fails with the message
    "The backup disk ran out of space unexpectedly. Time Machine will try to make more space available by removing expired backups during the next scheduled backup."
    I've checked previous messages in the forum about such an error, but the various cases do not seem to match my specific problem (or I was not able to find the message with working answer).
    It seems that the "unexpected" problem is related to the fact that Time Machine is trying to backup again a large part of my filesystem, and it determines this fact only after the backup starts (so there is no pre-cleaning): when it happens I can see that the target size of the backup increases over time, while more and more data are written on the disk, until the disk is full.
    I'll try to summarize my situations with an itemized list:
    The current backup fails because it runs out of space, leaving an .inprogress file behind
    The latest backup did not fail: the log report a successful backup (checked with Time Machine Buddy)
    Examining the content of the latest backup, the one that did not fails, shows that some system directories, /Applications, /usr, and /bin are missing
    So, possibly, the "unexpected" error happens because the system is backing up a lot of stuff (like 60GB), and TM discover this only after it starts writing the files
    I've verified with Disk Utility both the TM disk and the internal HD, and they both report no problem.
    After some digging around, I was able to make TM work again removing the .inprogress file (using the Pondini instructions), removing (using the "Star Wars" interface) the latest backup, the one with the incomplete content, and removing a few older backups to create some more free space.
    The first time I thought it was a transient problem, but it happened again after a few days.
    So the real issue is, why the latest successful backup is actually incomplete, with a large number of directories missing, but there is no hint of this in the logs?
    I've read that old LaCie HDs might have problems with Mountain Lion, and with its power saving settings. May this be the cause? I did already turn off the power saving setting (put HD to sleep when possible) before the latest failure, but nothing changed.
    I've also tried to update the d2 Quadra firmware, as indicated by other messages and on LaCie website, but the update fails and the provided instructions are less than useful (I'll try to contact LaCie on this issue).
    My doubt is that this does not seem a power save issue... the failed backups happen while I'm actually using the machine (so no wake up/disk spin issue seems to happen), and the backups starts with no problem: they just finish abruptly with no apparent reason but with a success message.
    Does anyone have problems similar to mine (successful but incomplete TM snapshots)? Is the problem triggered by the HD firmware, or there are other possible causes?
    I plan to repair the TM one more time, and then keep it turned off to run only manual backups, but I'm aware that there is no guarantee that also a controlled manually started backup is not going to fail in a similar way.
    Thanks for any suggestion.
    Maurizio

    I am not running out of space, but I do have the same problem.  Every so often TM does a backup which is about 60 GB bigger than expected.   The  extra is always a new backup of /System /Applications /usr etc. - that is the 'system files'.
    The key thing is, as you have noticed:
    Examining the content of the latest backup, the one that did not fail, shows that some system directories, /Applications, /usr, and /bin are missing
    As a consequence the next backup is, in my case, 60 GB bigger because it includes all the system files.
    It is as if 'systemFilesExcluded' was turned on for the previous backup (the one that 'did not fail').  But I have looked in the .exclusions.plist for this backup and it is exactly the same as for other backups and does include:
            <key>systemFilesExcluded</key>
            <false/>
    It seems that TM is treating this as if <true/>.
    Like you, I have done a disk verify and it finds no errors.
    I think this must be a bug.  I have had this on four occassions since upgrading to Mountain Lion.  And it is doing a large one right now - I have caught it in the act!

  • Wedding photography running out of space. Need help with thousands of photos, and workflow

    So my studio does wedding photography. Me and my partner both take photos.  We have about 30,000 photos just from the last 2 years.  We are running out of space big time. We both have 1 terabyte magnetic hard drives in our computers. I have about 80gb left and she has about 120gb left. Needless to say, since I myself take about 50gb of photos per wedding, I'm not going to last long. We use lightroom.
    So far I have managed to backup everything on an external 2TB hard drive for both of us. I save both RAW and Jpegs to it. I also have everything backed up on an online server.  So here's my first issue.  What I've been doing, is for the previous year (completed weddings) I delete all the RAWs from the computers. I leave the JPEG's on the computer incase I need them quickly. I keep all the RAWS on the external hard drives and online.  But even doing this, deleting the RAWs from completed weddings off the internal hard drives, I'm still almost out of space. My computer is so slow because of this even though it's a top of the line computer with 6 gigs of triple channel ram. Lightroom runs so very slow and lags so bad.
    So my first question is:  By deleting the raws off of my computer, if I need to go back a few years from now and re-save the raw files or re-edit, will lightroom remember my develop settings or will I have to completely re-edit every photo?  I have been saving a catalog file for each year, and start a new one every year.  I do not use XMP sidecar files I save everything to the lightroom database.  As long as I have the catalog file backed up, am I safe? Or am I doing this wrong? Because if open an old catalog file, it will say all the photos are not found on my computer (obviously).
    My second question is:  I am going to be investing in more hard drives and want to do it right this time around. I want to invest in SSD drives for maximum performance.  Here is what my plan is.  One SSD drive for windows/programs, one SSD drive for lightroom scratch disk, and one 1TB "Velociraptor" 10,000rpm magnetic hard drive for keeping the actual images on.  Is this not right? Am I planning this out wrong?
    Here is our current workflow. I am very welcome to suggestions:
    1) Shoot wedding.
    2) Import RAW files from CF card to computer. It goes in a folder for the client with the images going into different sub folders by category such as "reception" and "ceremony"
    3) Import folder into lightroom4.
    4) Edit photos. I do not use XMP sidecar, I use database.
    5) Export files in JPEG form into the same client folder.
    6) At the end of the year I save the catalog, make a new catalog for the new year. I delete the RAW files off of my hard drive after backing them up on 2TB external hard drive. I leave the jpegs and the client's folder on the computer hard drive.

    My guess is that you are not actually deleting the original raws from your internal hard drives and have lots and lots of crud around that you are not aware off so you should go through your internal drives with a fine-toothed comb. Don't forget to actually empty the trash when you delete! 1TB is more than enough disk space for storing the Lightroom catalog file, previews and some jpegs. 30.000 photos is really not that much. My main catalog  has >50.000 images in it with the raw files all stored on external hard drives. The catalog itself is on my internal 256 GB SSD HD that also houses the previews (so I can use it with the raw files offline) and the operating system as well as a lot of software (photoshop, office, iWorks, Aperture, etc.). It is more than enough space as it still has more than 150 GB free. I automatically back up everything, including the external HD that stores the raw images to separate external HDs stored in different places.

  • Hp stream running out of space due to windows updates.

    So having had my stream 14 for a few months now it was in need of a clean up and so I decided to factory reset it and discovered a serious issue regarding lost drive space caused by windows updates.
    In factory shipped condition, the system uses some sort of system that accesses the recovery partition to use the data on the WIM I believe, either way whatever it is doing is quite clever and leaves the system with a farly impressive 19.3GB of free space left over, however this situation rapidly degrades once windows starts to update itself. 
    Allowing Windows 8.1 X64 to update to the last available 'important' update reduces the available free space down to 10.8GB, that's a massive (when taken in context of how much is available) 8.5GB of space gone just by windows performing what are supposed to be important updates, not sure how much worse it will get with time either as it appears that any updated files are expanded to fill the available space rather than stored in the WIM image.
    Do HP consider it uneccesary to update windows or are they going to take action to somehow rectify the situation by maybe providing an updated system image that will allow a more recent updated version of windows to be used in the same manner the original installation was? Or is there something I can do to perform this function?
    Any ideas?

    @Dano314 ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  The updates are put out there to resolve issues.
    If you find you are running out of space. Consider using an external hard drive.  The hard drive on your system is not made for huge file storage and so on.  
    On the other hand if you find your system is running ok then do updates when you seem to find you are running into issues.
    Thanks again for posting and have a great day.
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
    Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

  • Itunes storage says i got 4172 photos, but i actually only have 1359 photos in my photo library. Im running out of space because of it.

    i updated my iphone to ios8, but it needs 5 gb so i saved my photos to my windows pc and deleted everthing. When im finally updated, i synced my iphone to itunes and all my photos are saved to my phone which are 3000 photos (rounded) and so i screencaptured only 1000 photos so that it can be saved to my photo library and i un-synced my photos so that they are also deleted from my phone because i dont need them anymore. Now i am running out of space because the storage says i got 4172 photos but i only have 1359 showing in my photo library.

    Open Settings->General->Date & Time.  Turn off Set Automatically & roll back the date a year.  Then open your photos app & the Recently Deleted folder.  The phantom photos should be there.  Tap Select & Delete All,
    Now go back to Settings->General->Date & Time & toggle Set Automatically back on.

  • Oracle 10g RAC implementation running out of space

    I have an Oracle RAC implementation setup on a Sun Storagetek 6140 for storage. I have allocated 100gb of space to Oracle but am constantly running out of space during operations. I know that i can allocate additional disk space using Common Array Manager for the Storagetek. How do i get ASM to recognize the fact that there is additional space available to it?

    Hi buddy,
    How do i get ASM to recognize the fact that there is additional space available to it?You have two options:
    1- The first one is create a new LUN, configure it at the OS level and add the disk to disk group.
    alter diskgroup add disk '<DISK_DEVICE_PATH>';
    2- The second one is increasing the LUN size (if possible, of course) and resize the disk.
    alter diskgroup <DISK_GROUP_NAME> resize disk '<DISK_NAME>' <NEW_SIZE>;
    Hope it helps,

  • Oracle server running out of space

    We have a linux(debian)server which has Oracle10g in it and it is running out of space now. So we decided to add some more disk space(adding a new hard drive in the same server). But if we want to add more data files how can I tell the DB to use the added disk space. Since all the data files are existing in /home/oracle/oradata/orcl and their tablespace (USERS) are in the old disk,is it possible to tell the DB to use the added disk.

  • Oracle Home running out of space

    Hi,
    I have installed oracle application server 10g and oracle 10g on an Linux server.
    Both products have been installed on the /oracle partition which is about 11GB
    The database control and data files have been setup to another partition /oradata.
    After a few months i seem to be running out of space on the /oracle partition.
    I think it might be due to some log files. Can anyone please give me ideas on which files I can safely purge on the application server home and database home to create some space on the /oracle parition
    Thanks

    hi Prativ,
    For oracle application server,
    The log files in the below three location can be purged,if you want u can take a backup of these older log files in another mount point before deleting
    1st $ORACLE_HOME/webcache/logs
    2nd $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/OC4J_BI_Forms/log/OC4J_BI_Forms_default_island_1/
    Purge the default-web-access.log and server.log
    3rd $ORACLE_HOM/Apache/Apache/logs
    Regards
    Fabian
