My word gives a message of "The disk is full trying to write to Macintosh HD. Free some space on this drive, or save the document on another disk."
what do I do to stop the message from popping up all the time? I have only had my mac for 7 months and haven't saved a ton of stuff.

Kathryn,
Is MS Word the only app that is causing this issue, if so then it's probably a problem with Word. If I'm correct about it only occuring with Word then please re-post to:

When you do please let them know the version of Office installed on your computer, it will be either Office 2004, 2008 or 2011!

  • Why am I getting message working in Word that says the disc is full trying to write to Macintosh HD when I have hundreds of GB available?

    I am getting frequent messasges saying "the disk is full trying to write to Macintosk HD. Free some space on this drive or dave the document on another disk, etc.  I have at least 300GB of unused space on Macintosh HD. This is followed by another message that Word is unable to save the AutoRecover file in the location you have specifed. and to check prefernces. I am saving to my desktop.

    Thank you! It was a small war to find out even how to post a question, so I guess in the moment I overlooked the fact that I posted to the wrong forum . But the problem have been solved by a friend who experienced the same problem. It seemed that there was one Microsoft Equation (out of the many in the document) that was malfunctioning. So by deleeting excactly the right equation, the problem was solved.
    Hope that helps someone later on.
    Best regards

    Did you empty the Trash?
    What size hard drive & how much free space. You should always have a minimum of 10-15% or more free space?

  • What is the procedures to free some space on my ipad to download videos?

    What is the procedure to free some space on my ipad 2 so I can download videos?

    Texas Mac Man, I'm having a similar problem with my kids' iPods!
    I have reviewed the Usage on my son's iPod.  I added up the storage space of all the apps.  It is 2.1GB.  This is what the "Apps" category shows is being used.  The "Other" category shows it's using 2.3GB.  It is only an 8GB iPod, so this "Other" is eating up a ton of space.  He has no videos, only pictures he's taken (which isn't very many), apps (I keep those at a minimum), and music (which I also keep tight control over).  How do I find out what this "Other" is, and how do I get rid of it?  I've read other posts which say I have to perform a factory restore, which wipes everything out, then restore again from the latest backup, with no guarantee that the "Other" will go away.  I've also read horror stories about the factory restore causing problems with the basic function of an iPod.  I called Apple Support, and the young man I spoke to asked around said that the data while using an app (games like MyHorse and Angry Birds) is stored in the "Apps" category.  How can I be sure of this?  He has a game we've put a lot of time, energy, and some money into.  I do not want this to be lost. I'm assuming that backing up from the lastest backup of the iPod will prevent this, but how can I be sure that the game information isn't part of the "Other"?  I'm frustrated and confused by all the conflicting information I've read.  Can you help?

  • I have a 1 Terrabyte HD and need to free up space, what is the best way to do so

    I want to free up space, what is the best way to do so without compromising speed and efficiencies?

    Put large files you do not use often on the external.  Movies.  I only watch a particular movies once every few years so I can keep them all on an external drive and just move them to my internal (for fast access) when I actually want to watch them.
    Make sure you buy a second external drive.  When your nice new 1TB drive develops a fault all your files on it will be lost.

  • I use my boyfriend's apple account and for a while it worked good. I would get messages from him and all but Recently, the iMessage stopped working and now his account sends messages to me but it sends to himself. Need help

    My boyfriend and I share an apples account for a while now. I would get messages from his phone he would get mine. We would text on that ID but now it's acting up. It doesn't let him send me messages, it sends it to him twice. I use the email but he uses the #. Does anyone know what to do?

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • Why can't I save on Word, i.e. says that my disk is full

    I'm doing research, so I have internet pages, and Work pages, and it was never a problem until now. Now I can't save my work in Word because it says that either that disk is full, saturated, or damages. What to do?

    How much free disk space do you have on your hard drive? If your hard drive is shown on your desk top, click it once, then push the alt and i keys, which will tell you how much space is used. It is possible that you've filled up your hard drive. This FAQ will provide some guidance on how to manage it.

  • How do I stop the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox update message from popping up?

    There are times when I am streaming video, and do not want pop up messages showing on the screen. I do not like pop ups. There seems to be no way to turn off Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox update messages from popping up on the screen. If I could turn the pop ups off, i would. I am running Windows XP - Pro.

    Download and install MS Autoruns:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902
    Before you run Autoruns, in explorer, get properties on the chm help file and click the Unblock button if visible.
    Otherwise you may be unable to use the help file.
    Now run Autoruns.  Find all likely references to Thinkvantage Toolbox (PC Doctor) and disable (uncheck checkbox).
    You don't have to remove the references, just disable them.  You can re-enable them later if you like.
    Save and restart computer.  Poof! No more Thinkvantage Toolbox popups.  You will now need to run it manually.

  • Insufficient Disk Space: What do I do? I do not want to delete all of my projects. If I delete them and then empty the trash it will free up some space but I have deleted way more than I am tryig to import.

    I keep getting a message when I try to import pics. Insufficient disk space. What do I do? I do not want to delete all of my pics!

    Easiest thing to do would be to buy an external hard drive and move your Aperture library to that drive.

  • How do I keep the "conformsetting cookies" box from popping up all the time?

    Every time I try to pull up a page this stuip box called "Confirm Setting Cookies" pops up and won't let me do anything. I'm about to remove Firefox because of the frustration. I have other issues with your program but since I can't even get into my mail 1/2 the time or go to a page when I want to this is the biggest issue right now. And why, OH why is there no0 phone number for those of us that can't get an answer on you help pages? The dame thing just popped up again.

    That entry in your keychain may be damaged. In the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, launch Keychain Access. At the left, the upper item selected should be login, and the lower on Passwords. At the right, locate (if it's obviously named), the item for X509Anchors and remove it. Close Keychain Access. Then next time you visit the site this is for, it will ask for your login information as if it were your first visit. Enter your info and a new keychain link will be created.
