My start up disk is full but FCX says I 'dont have permission to move projects and events' in order to save space

Hello,
I' ve been working in FC10 and normally have a folder on my computer which stores my events files, original media etc. automatically.
I've had a warning that FCX can't save data as there is not enough room on the disk. In order to try to rectify this I deleted unused render files and got rid of a few projects.
This didn't help so I thought, okay, Ill move some of the remaining projects onto my external hard drive, that will free up some space. BUT FCX came up with a window which had 'no value' in the drop down section for selecting a destination and then came up with a window stating that I 'did not have permission' to do this.
I'm a bit lost at this point as to know what that means and why its saying that. How else can I make room so that I can save and export my video and have room to make more videos?
Any advice greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
Nastassja

My macbook air won't load. Says start up disk is full but I can't get the home page to open

My Macbook air won't load. Says the start up disk is full but won't open the home page so I can do anything about it

Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. 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.

I need help i have just bought snow leopard for my mac reading that it can be downloaded onto a 10.4.11 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo but it says i dont have enough ram space how can i solve this?

i need some help i have just got the Mac OS X as i have recently been given a mac with 1.83 GHz Intel core 2 duo and on 10.4.11. However it says i dont have enough ram how can i solve this?

Other than Apple there are only two vendors with which I have personal experience and can recommend: Crucial and OWC. People have reported problems with many other brands, yet Crucial and OWC's prices are as good as any you are likely to find. Patriot is another brand recommended by ASC contributors but I have no experience with them.
Go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options.
Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales.

Start up disk memory full but can I replace my memory with 1GB disk?

My start up disk memory is full. I have delete a majority of cluttered mess I do not need but I know that I will fill it up fairly soon. I have an external hard drive but how do I put some of my files onto that? If I put it on the hard-drive will I only be able to access it with the hard-drive plugged in?
And I currently have 512MB put into my Powerbook. Can I add in a 1GB memory card into my Powerbook without losing any of my files? And if I will lose my files will the Apple store (where I plan to get 1GB memory put in) put all my files on a disk and then replace it?

You can only use your external drive if it is hooked up, through direct USB/Firewire or through a network.
Adding RAM has no effect on the files you have on your hard drive. I'd suggest, considering how much Apple overcharges for RAM, that you get third party RAM and install it yourself, its not that hard.

Start Up Disk is Full but i don't have much on my Mac!!!

Hello, I am trying to download and use Cord for work as well as update my iTunes to the newest release, however it says I do not have space!!!! I moved 9k photos to an external HD yesterday and deleted them from iPhoto as well as have an empty trash can, I took a screen shot of what my memory under about this mac says, someone please help, I literally have zero pics on this computer, and about 900 songs, most of which are in the cloud because it says I do not have enough memory to download them, I am at a loss, and fairly computer savvy less!!!!
I do not even know how I got to hard drives and what could possible be taking up so much spacE!!!!!
Thank you!!

Thank you for the quick response!!! I have NO idea how this happened either, I was trying to install yosemite and it has been messed up since, it did install yosemite but since then I have zero memory, this is a shot of my disk utility, will you kindly walk me through the steps you would take to start over? I have my music and photos backed up so starting from scratch is a very viable option for me, thank you for your time and help!!

unable to open pc files from my migration to new mac; can see them but finder says they have been moved or deleted and will say i don't have permission to open any clues???

Have you logged-on to the new account that was created by the Migration app for the Windoze files? That user should have normal access to them.

Start up disk is full but have 309 GB available

Keep getting a message Force Quit Applications Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows an removing files from your startup disk will also help.
I will quit all my applications, and reopen safari, but I keep getting the message. This has been going on for a few weeks, and if I turn off my computer and turn it back on, I won't get the message for a few days but it always comes back.
I am just confused because I have lots of free space on my computer 309 GB. I have emptied all my trashes.
What can I do to fix this?

In this situation I think this is more to do with RAM/memory. Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities. Go to System Memory. How much Free and Inactive, down at the bottom? What is it saying for Page outs and Swap used?

Icloud stoped to backup my iphone. i have 10 GB free but it says i dont have enought place. dont want to buy more space im already paying for space

please tell me what to do.

You can reduce your iCloud storage to make more room (as discussed here: Manage your iCloud storage), or turn off iCloud backup and start backing up to your computer using iTunes instead.

I have version 3.5.11 and want to update to the most current firefox. I download but when I try to put it in my Mac applications, it says I dont have permission to access some of the items.

I have a Mac with snow leopard. I am using firefox 3.5.11 and want to install the most current version. I downloaded it and when I try to drop it on my applications it says I don't have permission to access some of the items.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I treid to update

Hello Curly59,
''"do you want to replace the newer version that is already installed with this older one?" ''
it is correct
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

Startup disk almost full but cannot log on to delete items

when I start up my MacBook air it said "start up disk almost full" but I cannot even log on my act to get to my home screen to attempt to delete stuff... what do I do?

How do you fix the problem "start up disk is full"?

My brand new macbook pro keep freezing on me. I get a notice that tells me: "start up disk is full, force quit open applications", I begin to hear the fans and then I can't even close what is open because completely freezes. I have 500GB of flash drive and I'm only using 340GB. Apple care personel instructed me to take it in for a diagnostic. Any suggestions?

Follow Apple's instructions. You should NOT be troubleshooting a brand new Mac. Take full advantage of your warranty.

My start up disk is full and the now the mac will not start

How do I get on my computer when my start up disk is full?

If you don't have a recent backup, then all your files will be lost.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue

Im trying to download a movie from itunes and it says i dont have enough memory. I can see that I have 13G in icloud but i dont know how to add the movie to that memory

Hi,
Im trying to download a movie from itunes to my ipad 2 but it says i dont have enough memory. I have 13G of space on icloud but cant figure out how to down load it to icloud. Can anyone advise please.

Hi back,
Icloud cannot be used to increase internal memory of ipads, otherwise nobody would buy more expensive 32, 64, 128 gigabyte versions. Hype with "movies in the cloud" is more of itunes store, keeping movies available for you in order to download on any device. That does not go against your storage in the cloud, though.
So if you go to your computer and you purchased movie ( not rented ) you can download and watch.
There is something else to pay attention to, your ipad (if I am not mistaken) is not capable to run HD movies, make sure you do buy Standard Definition, and they will take less space on ipad.

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"

If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it run the automatic ans S.M,A.R.T. tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the tabs that have the ability to clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

My start up disk is full but FCX says I 'dont have permission to move projects and events' in order to save space
