It sounds like a runaway process is filling up your volume.
Boot in safe mode. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Use a tool such as the one linked below to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space:

I've purchased 3 bundle movie packages, Sherlock Holmes, Batman, and The Godfather, I am can not find them in my itunes. I can only see the first movie in the series.
First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.

This may be a silly question but how do I get my music from my old ipod to the Ipod touch. when I go to move my music a error pops up saying your music wasn't copied to this ipod because it can not be played on this ipod. what can I do??
You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

Hello, I can't no longer received emails in my Ipad, it says it can not connect to the servidor... what can I do ?
Have you ever been able to recieve emails on the iPad and on that Wi-Fi network?
The quickest and most likely fix will be testing on another Wi-Fi network.
If that doesn't do it, give this a shot -> iOS: Unable to send or receive email -
I just bought a new IPAD. There are no "list", "date," and "add a reminder" buttons on the Reminder App. There are also no "calendar" and "add an event" buttons on the Calendar App. Why? Is there a way to add either a reminder or an event?
For the reminders app - just tap on an open space on the ruled paper window under the heading in order to create a new reminder. Or tap on the + sign in the upper right corner of the app. You do not have the + sign on the app?
For the calendars app to go Settings>iCloud>Calendars>On. Toggle the setting on and off and the + sign should appear in the lower right corner of the calendars app. Tap the + sign to create a new event. -
Ever since I add IOS7 I can not type text messages or emails. What can i do to fix the problem?
Reset your phone by holding down the home button with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. Try it again.

I can not open Firefox due to a virus.
When trying to open Firefox, the program directed the computer to shut down, and prevented me from going into Safe mode.
The virus only affected Firefox and rebooting in Safe.
The virus has been scrubbed, but I get the crash report every time I try to open Firefox. Can I install a new version of Firefox and still keep my bookmarks/ How can I rescue my bookmarks.
I am posting this from another computer location.I used to have a slightly similar problem. Not the Virus problem, but the re-install of Firefox. The solution for this in the future would be for you to install and use FEBE Firefox Environment Backup Extension so you can fully back-up your settings, and other Addons, and Themes etc. that were within your FEBE backed up profile, so you can do the re-install of Firefox and then restore your saved profile that encompasses all of or most of what you presently don't want to loose. You could still do a FULL PROFILE FEBE, and re-install Firefox, and do a FULL PROFILE RESTORE, and if you might no longer have a virus problem after the restore. If so, your in good shape. I would find and run a good quality Anti-Virus scan, and if you wish to try to catch what you might have missed with the new scan I also suggest from www.IOBit.com that you add 2 programs that look to be better at catching problems than most other scan and repair utilities. The programs I suggest you add are called Advanced System Care - presently is version 5, and IOBit Malware Fighter, and one other. Their super powerful Smart Defrag that is faster than most Defrag programs and their is only one other Defrag program that comes close to it's power, and that is Diskepper, and you get Smart Defrag for free, and it's better, and faster than the others in my opinion. ASC Advanced System Care will clean your system and make it run faster specially if you have noticed it is slowing down for one reason or another , and it will do this with less resources than the other programs that you may already be using. The only thing they lack at present is an Anti-Virus portion which would add much more value to the already super programs. Good Luck. Let me know what you think after trying the noted programs. You should be very satisfied of the results.

Hard drive failed; now have new drive; am able to use copier/printer but SCAN function doesn't work on my IMac.
HELP!Hey @CSAB ,
So my name is Zac and I will be helping you out from HP today!
I understand you are able to print and copy; but, you are unable to scan.
Is the printer hooked up USB or wireless?
If wireless, please try a scan from a USB connection and let me know.
How are you trying to scan? Like steps and what program?
Happy new year! Have a great day and get back to me when you get a chance.

On my photosmart 7520 I can not print any picture larger than 4x6. what can I do
On my photosmart 7520, which is brand new, I can not print any pictire larger than 4x6. When I place a 5x7 or 8x10 on bottom tray does not pick it up, it picks up from the top tray and it displays wrong paper size. What can I do?
Hi,
I recommend that you open your print preferences and select the paper source as the main tray and set the paper size to whatever size it is you want to print. I don'y have a Vista example but I have included a screen shot from Windows 7 of the options window you're after.
