My Internal HD is full

My internal HD (13gigs) is full. I've attached a 40 gig external. I would like to bypass the internal HD and use the external as my main HD. Is there a way to do that? Can I easily migrate what I have on the Internal drive to the external?
Answers are gratefully appreciaetd.
Bob

Welcome to the discussions!
As long as that external drive is a FW drive, you can clone your internal drive to it using SuperDuper and then use it to boot your iMac with no problem.
If you want to make this a permanant solution, with the drive attached and powered up, go to your sys prefs and select "startup disk" and change it to that external FW drive.

FBU Internal Job Queue Full for Synchronous Processing of Print Requests

Hello All,
We are getting a lot of errors in system log (SM21) with the
Error : FBU Internal Job Queue Full for Synchronous Processing of Print Requests
User :SAPSYS
MNO:FBU
=============================================================
Documentation for system log message FB U :
If a spool server is to process output requests in the order they were
created using multiple work processes, the processing of requests for a
particular device can only run on one work process. To do this an
internal queue (limited size) is used.
If too many requests are created for this device too quickly, the work
process may get overloaded. This is recognized when, as in this case,
the internal queue is exhausted.
This can only be solved by reducing the print load or increasing
processor performance or, if there is a connection problem to the host
spooler, by improving the transfer of data to the host spooler.
Increasing the number of spool work processes will not help, as
requests for one device can only be processed by one work process. If
processing in order of creation is not required, sequential request
processing can be deactivated (second page of device configuration in
Transaction SPAD). This allows several work processes to process
requests from the same device thus alleviating the bottleneck.
Enlarging the internal queue will only help if the overload is
temporary. If the overload is constant, a larger queue will eventually
also be overloaded.
===========================================================
Can you please tell me how to proceed.
Best Regards,
Pratyusha

Solution is here:
412065 - Incorrect output sequence of output requests
Reason and Prerequisites
The following messages appear in the developer trace (dev_trc) of the SPO processes or in the syslog:
S *** ERROR => overflow of internal job queue [rspowunx.c 788]
Syslog Message FBU:
Internal job queue for synchronous request processing of output requests full
The "request processing sequence compliance" on a spool server with several SPO processes only works provided the server-internal job queue (see Note 118057) does not overflow. The size of this request queue is prepared using the rspo/global_shm/job_list profile parameter. The default value is 50 requests. However, if more output requests arrive for the spool server than can be processed (and the internal request queue is full as a result), more SPO processes are used to process the requests (in parallel), and the output sequence of the requests is no longer guaranteed.
Solution
Increase the rspo/global_shm/job_list profile parameter to a much larger value. Unfortunately, the value actually required cannot be found by "trial and error" because this queue contains all the incoming output requests on a spool server, not just the "sequence compliant" requests. A practical lower limit for this value represents the maximum sequence-compliant output requests for the above generated output device. If, for example, 1000 documents that should be output in sequence are issued from an application program to an output device, the queue must be able to hold 1000 entries so that it does not overflow if the SPO process processes the requests at a maximum low-speed.

Err:Internal Job Queue full for synchronous processing of print requests

Hi,
We are getting a lot of errors in system log with the
error :
Internal Job Queue full for synchronous processing of print requests.
User :SAPSYS
MNO:FBU.
When we check the document in syslog it states it can be solved by reducing the print load or increasing performance or if there is a connection problem to host spooler , by improving the transfer of data to host spooler..
But not by increasing the no of spool workprocess..
I think any of the one stated cannot be implemented ..
Pls provide your valuable answers and if any of the above can be implemented from your end..

Hi Vamshi,
Thanks for your response but would also like to confirm how we can say that spool queue is full and what may be the Max size of spool queue..
When we say Internal queue is full does it mean spool queue...
And also when I run the TEmse consistency check it is giving some errors..
When I check Spool requests there are some waiting process,but when I check Output requests there are only 1 or 2..
Please provide me your valuable solution regd this..

HT4993 i bought 20gb of storage but i can get my backup to download on it. my internal storage is full .

i bought 20gb of storage but i can get my backup to download on it. my internal storage is full
also how do a change the apple id on the phone

Storage in iCloud does not make more memory available on the phone; it just increases your backup capability. The phone has a fixed, hardware limited amount of storage. If yours is full you will have to delete some content.
There are several places your Apple ID is used on the phone. For purchases go to Settings/iTunes & App Stores, log out, then log in with the new Apple ID. Note that any purchases made with the old Apple ID wil still need the password for that ID to update.
For iMessage go to Settings/Messages.
For iCloud go to Settings/iCloud.

My iphone 5 internal storage is full, I have just 1000 picutes of size 2mb each an average that costs only 2gb, what happened to remaining 6 gb space?

my iphone 5 internal storage is full, I have just 1000 picutes of size 2mb each an average that costs only 2gb, what happened to remaining 6 gb space?

The size of the pictures themselves is only part of the story...Photos also prepares indexes of the pictures, thumbnails and further file information that take up, sometimes, as much or more space than the photos.
Other things like email, messages, tunes, cache information, browser history information, and so on take space.

How can i get Itunes to route my music to an external hard drive once my Internal drive is full?

My Internal hard drive is getting full and im starting to worry about how i will store tracks in the future. I have my itunes set to auto organize the files into the Music folder when dragged into Itunes. I am a DJ, so i do get music quiet frequently that i need to add to Itunes for My DJ Software, Serato, To read. Is there anyway i can have Itunes begin rerouting the new songs onto an external HD? and can i play songs from two different hard drives with itunes open? Example, Song A is on internal.. once i finish listening to it or having serato acess it, If i then want to play Song B, which is on an external HD, will Itunes need to "Relocate the file" or will it remember its stored on the connected External HD?
Thank you

If that doesn't work for you then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Acoustic noise on internal Speaker every full hour

Hi guys,
I have a really strange problem.
My left speaker makes a random noise for 2 seconds every full hour.
And the strangest thing yet, it also rustles although the iMac is turned off.
The sound works normally. The random noise can be heard above. The rustle isn't transmitted to external speakers (Bluetooth or Headphonejack).
It's limited to the internal left speaker.
Thanks for your help.
27" iMac late 2013
Yosemite 10.10.1

Since you are sure it's not a mechanical noise and since you've disconnected everything but the keyboard and mouse and the sound persists, and removed any and all radio interference sources from the area and have no in-built airport or bluetooth modules, you've eliminated all the common causes of this sort of noise. And since the internal speaker appears to make the noise even when external speakers are plugged in, it's obviously not a sound caused by, or propagated through, the audio circuit. What's more, if the noise occurred even with the external speakers disconnected, it leaves little possible conclusion except that the mini itself is at fault.
There's a possibility that for some reason the mini is picking up RF from a switching source such as a thermostat or spark-igniter, which would not necessarily have to be in the immediate vicinity to cause a problem, but if you are able to rule out such a source in the mini's surroundings, I suspect the mini will have to be looked at.

Internal Hard Drive Full - Want To transfer my iPod library to external HD

I have a 60GB iPod and my desktop's hard drive is full therby preventing me from downloading anymore to my iPod. I have a 300GB external hard drive that I want to move everything to, especially my iPod Library. HELP!! How do I do it?

Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2).
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
If none of these methods work, try CopyPod. This does preserve playlists/playcounts/ratings.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

Internal storage is "full" but it's not..

So for the past two or three months I've been getting notifications on my 16GB iPhone 5C saying "out of memory"/"out of storage", and within these few months I've deleted about 80% of my music, half of my pictures, more than half of my apps, and even all of my messages. And yet after all of that, my phone currently has a total free memory of 0 bytes. It is now to the point that I cannot take pictures nor can I send them (I get a little blank space saying 'Tap to Download' that does nothing when tapped), and I am unable to update any of my apps, or even my OS in general, which I why I am still using iOS 7.
I figured I was overlooking something and because my phone has an actual capacity of 13.23GB, I went through my usage app-by-app and added them all together, converting the Megabytes to Gigabytes and adding the 3.5GB from my music and messages, my phone's storage should be at roughly 4.087GB.. not a full 13.23GB.
Can anyone suggest anything to me? I'm thinking of just backing up my iPhone to my computer and resetting it, then just restoring it. Would that get rid of whatever's taking up all my space? What can I do?

Backing up and restoring the phone again should help to regain the free space again.

Is my internal HD too full for recording?

My MBP has a 120 GB HD, and 80 GB is in use. I need to be able to record up to 2 hours at a time, that's about 26 GB of HDV footage. It would just about fit with a little free space left over, but am I better off using an empty external USB drive?

I've done both with success. However, I would prefer to offload some of that 80GB to the external drive to free up space on the internal and thus remove a possible problem (such as cable failure, power failure to the external, who knows what else) from the signal chain.

My N900 internal memory is full

Hi
I am Nelson Lobo and I possess the nokia n900. I simply love the phone but now its giving some problems
I have been installing apps and uninstalling them to save space. However I find that even though i uninstall the apps, the free memory space keeps on getting lesser and lesser. That means these apps leave some files behind even after being uninstalled.
Now I have very less internal memory and even though i have uninstalled all teh other unnecessary apps, it is still showing me memory low.
So was thinking of flashing my N900 (the internal memory). Pls can you suggest what can I do to empty the internal memory
Regards
Nelson

you may have residual data left as you suggest. but man....that is a lot of data if you are just installing applications. not sure you could really be using all of them.
follow my direction in the top12 thread that is sticky on the top of the maemo board.
also, you can try the talk.maemo.org board. many gurus there.

Currently my internal drive is full due to Aperture. I want to work with Aperture from a external drive verses my internal drive. In addition, I want to back-up my work to another external drive. Is this easily done? Does this make sense? Pros / Cons...

Currently my internal drive is out of space due to my Aperture files. I want to place Aperture on a external drive to work from verses in intnal drive. In addition, I want to back-up all my work to another external for safe keeping. Once I move aperture to the external, I want to delete it off my internal drive. Does this make sense to do? Pros / Cons....

It is common for people to move their Aperture, iPhoto, iTunes etc. files to an external drive when those files become too large to conveniently keep on the internal drive.
The best approach is probably to keep the applications (iPhoto, Aperture etc.) where they are now, but move the files (photos, music, videos etc.) to the external drive.
You should set up a process to regularly backup all the files from both the internal drive as well as the external drive you'll be using. Here are two approaches:
(1) Use Time Machine. You can configure Time Machine so that it backs up both the internal drive as well as the external drive, all to a third separate backup drive. This is done via the Options button in the Time Machine preference pane.
(2) You can use a "cloning" program, such as SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner, to make complete copies of files on your internal drive and that external drive. One way to do this is to use a very large disk for the backups, and to partition it into two backup drives, making one dedicated to the internal, the other dedicated to the external.
Two separate types of backups are recommended. I use both (1) and (2) above, and I disconnect and shut down the clone type backups when not being used. That way a power failure or surge that might destroy the original disk(s) plus the Time Machine backup(s) would still not damage the backups made under (2).
Don't delete your original Aperture files until you have verified that they are working properly from the external drive AND you have made a backup of them.

Why is my internal memory so full? How can I find out what is the "other" that is taking up so much space?

I'm not very tech-savvy. My iPhone is backed up on my computer and all my photos are in my computer. I'm going to send it away to have the screen fixed and the people from AppleCare recommended to back it up just in case. So, I am going to backup my computer for the first time since I bought it in mid 2011. I go see how much space I need and I see that I only have 15 GB of memory space left and this huge space being used up by "Other". I don't know if its because I updated it to Mavericks. How can I see what that is? Also, I've never downloaded movies so I don't know why that is also there. Please help ASAP!
I added a photo.

"Other" is everything that isn't in one of the other categories. For instance, it includes all your user documents that are not movie, audio, or photo files.
Regardless of that, you need to use an external drive at least large enough to backup your entire user folder (the one with a House icon). Better is to get one at least as large as your built-in drive & use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to clone the whole built-in drive to it.

I am trying to restore my ipod touch.But when i press restore it comes up with a message saying, The ipod could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full... what do i do to make it work??

i need help please!

It sounds like your PC or Mac's internal HD is full. You need to delete some data or move it to an external hard drive or storage device of some sort before you'll be able to successfully complete the restore.
