My powerbook is just about to run out of space!

any ideas for how i can store all my files, photos, songs, movies...etc. thanks

Many people buy an external hard drive that connects either via USB or Firewire to your Powerbook. For example, I have two external hard drives, one is purely for audio/visual content, and one is a hard drive backup.
If considering an external hard drive, if it only connects via USB you should ensure you have a power supply for it, as the Powerbook doesn't put out much electrical juice, and many devices just won't run off USB. You can get a powered USB hub also. Or use with a "Y" cable that plugs into both USB ports. I prefer to use devices that also have a Firewire connection. First, you can boot off a Firewire device, which you can't do on a USB device, which is handy for backup drives. Second, the Firewire port puts out enough juice to power external devices.
There's also a question of portability. If you need an external hard drive that is portable to take with your Powerbook, consider something like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/on-the-go (scroll down the page for more detail description and prices).
There are some services that allow you to backup your data online to their systems, however, I prefer to keep my data near me on my own external hard drives.

Why have I received an email from Adobe telling me my subs about to run out?

Why have I received an email from Adobe telling me my subs about to run out? I bought a Creative Cloud sub for a whole year about a month ago - with auto renewal too. I went back and checked my account with Adobe. That all seems to be in order. Why have I got an email telling me I have till 10 June 2012 before the sub runs out?

I too have received this email and one telling me my trial software expires in 2 days. I checked and yes, again I'm showing trial software though AAM shows the creative cloud copy downloaded and installed. I was unable to reach anyone within 20 minutes of hold at Adobe customer support phone but was able to speak to someone named Karal on chat. Karal told me that Adobe would look into the matter and get back to me. When I asked for a case number I was told one would be sent to me after the chat. I'm still waiting.
There are numerous problems with the Adobe Creative Cloud as everyone knows. What we need to keep in mind when dealing with Adobe Creative Cloud is that we are all BETA testers for this new type of service. Adobe was and is unprepared to service the Creative Cloud at this time but I can't believe they are not working to resolve the problems. Will some customers get "screwed" over during this BETA testing period? Of course. You have to expect that you will and take it with a grain of salt. Let's face it there really isn't another option to Ps/Dw/Lr/Acrobate is there? No, so let's calm down and try to help each other. The poor souls on the other end of Customer Support are just as lost and confused as we are..it's not their fault and they have no power or resources to fix the overall problems.
I can tell you what I’ve done for the company I work for since I recommended the cloud and obviously it was not a good choice for us at this time,
On 6/9 we will cancel the subscriptions to the cloud unless I find that the individual software will not recieve maintenance updates as is now the current rumor.
We will upgrade our individual software packages with the upgrade option and request CD backups.
We have contracted with DropBox for a 500mg box. I really like this service so far.
I’m hoping this puts me back in good status with the boss and the graphics department as everyone will get what the need to work without the limitations of the cloud and without me spending hours each day trying to figure out support issues.
Remember if you can live through the next 6 to 10 months the Creative Cloud will probably be a great thing. If not, bail now and come back when it's ready for "prime time". As we use to say in my RANGER days. "Suck it up soldier; this is what we train for!"

Error message-the volume unkown is about to run out of disk space.

When I try to log and transfer any of my video clips from my camera it doesn't work, because in the middle of the transfer it comes up with a message saying volume unknown is about to run out of disk space, please clear some space and hit continue...This shouldn't be, because I have more than enough room on my mac. So I'm wondering what, if anything do I need to delete. And what else I have to do so I can get back to successfully transfering my clips. Thanks alot!

Watching youtube cause storage running out of space on android, can you do sth. about it?

I believe because of sandbox on android, the internal storage of the phone is running out of space. I tried to put firefox on sdcard, but it does not solve the issue of flash video caching. It is still collected on the main storage, which typically is very limited. Eventually I have to clear private data after viewing few longer videos, can you solve this? e.g. by putting cache of flash videos to sdcard?

Please make sure Flash plug-in in Firefox is doing the playback (so the issue is for Mozilla and Adobe) and not the Youtube app, I mean, there is always the option to load the video in Flash player or Youtube default app.
AFAIK, YouTube Android app does not store cache in internal memory if a SD card is available, because I have a Android phone with few internal memory but it works. So try to play the video from YouTube app. Despite I hardly ever play videos from Firefox Android and don't have the phone to try now, I think you can choose between playing the video from Firefox or from Youtube app. To do so, please, restore all defaults (Go to System Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and choose to restore default associations in Youtube, Firefox and Flash Player apps) then try to play the video again.
If you still want Firefox developers to do something over this, please remember the people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback).

Running out of space on the external HD to back my Powerbook up

Hi,
My HD died and thankfully managed to restore it from a previous back-up with a new HD.
Now I am trying to back it up again, I seem to have run out of space on my external HD. I assumed that a 320 gb external HD had sufficient volume for a harddrive space of 218.9gb. I have since read that you need at least twice the size. Is there no way round it other than to buy a larger HD? I assumed that Time Machine would just automatically delete older back up's and replace with the most recent?
Any advice gratefully received.
Cheers
Jez

That's usually best, but sometimes you can get by with less.

Yes, it does. The problem here is that after a full restore, Time Machine does a full backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338
Since Time Machine will never delete the last remaining backup, it can't make room for another full one.
Short term, your only option is to erase the TM disk and let it start fresh.
Long term, get a larger drive. They've gotten much less expensive in the last couple of years.
Then use the current one for a "bootable clone" secondary backup, via CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. That gives you the best of both types of backup, and protects you from either app or hard drive failing. Many of us do exactly that.

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 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.

MacBook Pro with Retina Running Out of Space

Hi there.
I have a MacBook Pro with retina running OS X mavericks. Recently I have taken a look into "about this Mac" and found that I am running out of space (Picture Bellow). I found that most of my space is in Apps and I am trying to find where they are on my Mac HD. By going to the Macintosh HD the fallowing had this much space taken up "Applications (9.69GB), Library (4.74GB), System (5.7GB), User INFO (49 bytes), and Users (71.89GB) “. I found that Users (71.89GB)-> Pictures(58.91GB) is taking up most of the space but that accounts for Movies (46.91GB) and Photos (12.12GB) but not Apps. Where else should I look for the 90GB Apps or is it just the OS taking up this space?
Thank you

If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You're in no danger of running out.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

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.

Running out of space on computer

So i've got a 30G Video Ipod and my computer is completely running out of space (only have about 1 G left). Is it possible to use my video ipod as an external hard drive that i can store my music on and then continue to listen to music from it? Just like using my computer to store the music, can i store it all on my ipod and walk away still able to listen. I've got a lot of songs and some video's i've downloaded.
Please Help!
Thanks!

You can store files in this fashion but you still need to load them through iTunes to listen to them so you would double up the space you were using if you kept both copies on the iPod Also relying on the iPod as the sole backup for your music is not a good idea. If you ever have to restore the iPod to solve a problem you'll lose everything on it. I'd advise that you get yourself another internal or external hard drive and move your iTunes to it. Hard drives are comparatively inexpensive (much cheaper in comparison to a iPod for the space they provide) and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
You can also delete songs from iTunes and keep them on the iPod by changing the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". You can get details here: Managing content manually on iPod
Again though I would offer you a word of caution.caution. If you delete songs from your PC and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. At the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

Running out of Space with Final Cut Pro X 10.1.1

I have a 1 TG external hard drive that I have been using for the FCPX Library.
I check the properties and it is using 657.72GB of space. I have deleted all movies, files, music with on FCPX. I clearned the trash can and restarted my system and FCP Library file is still showing 657.72GB being used. I have a blank project FCP will not let me delete because it says you have to have at least one.
Has anyone else run into this problem. I am running out of space to do my video's and this is really annoying.
I really appreciate your help

You deleted all your movies? How did you do that? And what do you mean by movies? Do you mean the clips that you imported into FCP? When you imported, was it from a camera's memory card or from your computer? And do the clips exist anywhere else on your computer?
Sorry about all the questions, but just trying ensure that there are no misunderstandings due to terminology issues that might lead to problematic advice.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

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:
HP PCs - Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8)
HP PCs - Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7)
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:

Good Luck!

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.

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.

My powerbook is just about to run out of space!
