No more mac OSX found

Hi,
I tried to install windows XP on my imac 20" with bootcamp. First I had lots of troubles, with an endless loop in the windows install. After trying 6 times, my XP finally wanted to install properly.
Now, after this install, my mac OSX seems te be gone. Could it be possible that i have formatted the mac-drive in my attempt to install windows?
I tried to reinstall my macOSX by restarting with the install dvd, but i don't seem te get him to respond to that. He always starts windows, over and over.
Is there something i can do to fix this. Loss of data is no issue, I don't care about that, I just want my iMac to work on Leopard again.
Someone?

There is no specific category for BootCamp, but I would still send feedback.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ under Mac OS X.
You aren't the first to see this happen.
There should have been a FAT partition of "BOOTCAMP" there. I think, never installed or used XP, only Vista.
As in all matters of systems, backup first.
One question I have, 5GB is minimum, and the most common "follow-up" is "how can I increase the size of my Windows partition."
Under Vista 64-bit Ultimate, it needs 20GB plus room for 1.5x physical memory for page swap file, plus 12-15GB for the SP1 update when it is available. And then room for programs, files, downloads, temp space. 32-bit is less, as would other versions differ.
If I had to have a hard and fast rule, it would be 40-50GB for Vista. XP has a much smaller footprint, but I think 10-15GB would be better. And make sure that "C:" or "Bootcamp" is the size you want.
What happened to others is they actually used the 128MB EFI partition that Macs use and create, but hidden normally, and which XP doesn't "know about" or understand, and part of the GUID partition scheme. And that is where XP tried to install, is my best guess.

Mac Osx strart-up disk has no more application memory

I get this message on occasion now. The Message, "Your Mac OSX start up disk has no more space available for application memory".
I have a 1 TB HD ,799GB Available, 220GB Used. Running 10.6.2 OSX.
I have tried Onyx, repairing permissions in the disc utility, and the problem goes a way for a while but will pop up if I start running multiple apps.Rebooting seems to cure this problem for a while.
Looking for answers.
thanks,

Had same issue on customer's new iMac 24" this morning. Memory processes on activity monitor showed only 130.6 MB free out of 4GB physical with only Safari and activity monitor running!! No single process showed out of the ordinary memory use but totals showed 1 GB Wired and 2.06GB Active - ***?
Started client computer up in Target Disk Mode, hooked it up to my Macbook Pro and run Disk Warrior which found plenty of errors - not sure which specifically was the issue but, rebooted iMac and Bingo - all clear - all usage patters back to normal.
Disk Warrior is something everyone with a Mac should have in their house. Starting this iMac up using the DW disk would have given the same result so you don't need another Mac to make it happen, incidentally.

IMac Memory Issues: "Your Mac OSX Startup Disk Has No More Space Available"

Hi all,
I've done some extensive searching on my issue, and haven't been able to find a solid solution. I was hoping that if I shared my specific problem, it might shed some light on what is going on. My OS is current: 10.8.2 with plenty of HD space (over 250 GB) and 4 GB ram.
Over the past couple of days, my iMac has become very slow and laggy. Most times I will eventually get the message: "Your Mac OSX Startup Disk Has No More Space Available". This is after it has been lagging for quite a while, sometimes several hours.
I will restart, things will be sufficiently fast for a few minutes, but once I start working in any application (including any browser, or adobe software) it starts to slow down until it is eventually to a crawl, with the spinny wheel showing up often, even when only one application is open at a time. It doesn't take more than several minutes to start slowing down. Even simple things like hovering over the dock start to really lag, or opening my applications folder or System Preferences can take upwards of 15-30 seconds, even several minutes sometimes.
Here's some steps I've taken so far:
- Checked the activity monitor and system memory seems fine. No single app takes up more than 7% or so of memory at any given time. 1.65 GB active, 1.64 GB inactive, about 700 MB wired, free about 4 MB. VM size is 247 GB, CPU also seems OK: (%user around 10-20%, %System around 10%, Idle around 70-80%). No single app seems to be taking up an excessive amount of Real Memory.
- Permissions repair (It found some things to fix, but never completely finished, seemed to freeze after several hours, tried it several times)
- Checked disk for repair (no problems found), did the S.M.A.R.T check and ran tests again using Onyx.
- Re-indexed Macintosh HD
- I saw a suggestion to reset the PRAM, so I did that.
I do have the system backed up via Time Machine. Suggestions for further action are very much appreciated!

Ok, thanks. Here's a screenshot from during when it was running to a near halt (took me a while even to take the screenshot):
Here's a second screenshot after restart. All I did was open Chrome to post this:
At this exact moment I have about 500MB of memory free, but I have been watching it slowly count down starting from 2GB free when I first restarted. So far it is running smoothly, but I am guessing that it will start to lag again once the free memory dials down.
In case there is any correlation: I happened to have a strange issue with my internet connection. My router seems to be working fine, and I have wi-fi connected around the house. However, I did have my iMac connected via ethernet cable, and the wired connection was not working (was not finding a DNS address), but when I go to Wi-fi, it works. Again, could be totally unrelated, but it started just before the slowdown.

"your mac osx startup disk has no more space"

I getting the following message constantly: "your mac osx startup disk has no more space". It pops up the "force quit" menu and displays this message at the top.
I'm getting this error on an iMac that has a brand new HD installed by Apple. I restored from a Time Capsule, Time Machine backup.
The 500GB hard drive has 388.28GB of free space left.
Updated to OSX 10.6.6.
Might have been running either 10.5.? or 10.6.? before the old HD crashed.
Both the Time Capsule and iMac are using wired gigabit ethernet to connect to our network.
I did check the startup disk using Disk Utility, it passed.
I also ran Fix Permissions and got quite a bit of ACL errors, but they all seem to be the ones on the "ignore" list from a different forum posting I found.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

That's quite odd.
Do you get this immediately after startup, or only after running for a while?
If after running for a while, what was running?
Have you done any backups since reinstalling? If so, were there any problems?
Is there only a single partition on the Startup disk?
I did check the startup disk using Disk Utility, it passed.
You mean you did a +*Verify Disk,+* right?
Does it show Verified for the S.M.A.R.T. status?

HT4651 Mac OSX 10.8.4: I found Java visualvm on my applications through utilities. When I try to open, it says I need to install a runtime. should I dump this? Is it safe?

I'm a Mac OSX 10.8.4 (i-mMac): I found Java visualvm on my applications through utilities. When I try to open, it says I need to install a Java 6 SE runtime. Should I dump this java even if I don't use the runtime? I've heard all Java is unsafe. What do you think?

Java has had extremely serious issues with security on Macs for more than a year at least. It has been responsible for most of the malware that has infected Macs since early spring of 2012. Patches have been issued now and then, but Java is so full of holes that this hasn't really helped. (Often, new vulnerabilities have been found and exploited the next day.)
It is true that there haven't been any KNOWN Java exploits on the Mac in a few months. (I stress the word "known," because a lot of the malware over the last 6 months has been targeted very tightly on specific individuals or small groups, making it harder to discover.)
Bottom line, you should not trust Java in a web browser at this point. If you must use it, you should take great care.
That said, Java is fine to use for running apps on your computer. (Just as fine as running any app.) It is only really dangerous when enabled in the web browser. You can install Java if you need to, as long as you disable it in your web browser.

My MacBook Pro (version 10.7.5 4GB)keeps crashing with the error message 'Your MAC OSX start up disk has no more space available for application memory' - what do i do. I keep force quitting the applications and turning the computer off but it happens again after a while

Hhow much goal and free hard disk space is available? Sounds like you need to move some things off of that hard drive.

Error Message: Your mac osx startup disk has no more space available for application memory.

Hi everyone:
I have a 2010 27" imac. Dual Core i3, 3.2 GHz and 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM, and a 90% empty 500 GB Hard Drive. Running Snow Leopard 10.6.6
I have received a message intermittently since I got the iMac. The Force Quit menu comes up and says "Your mac osx startupdisk has no more space available for application memory". Sometimes there are a few applications open. Sometimes none. Whenever I look in the Activity Monitor Utility I see 2 or 3 gigs of RAM still available for use, and lots of hard drive space.
Im not sure why I'm getting the message, nor what to do to rectify it. Quitting applications, like it suggests doesn't seem to help.
I am grateful for any advice.
Lauren

Hey Lauren.
First of all you do have some software updates you should be doing. 10.6.7 came out a few weeks ago. Sometimes doing all of your software updates resolve issues such as this.
To check for software updates click the Apple and then Software updates.
As this issue is someone broad, I would test one of the articles below to narrow down your issue.

I have MAC OSX 10.5.8 and need to install adobe illustrator. I checked the compatibility and found that CS5 will work.Can any one help where i can find it. The trail version is fine with me as i just have to use it for couple of days till i get my mac book back from service. Can any one help me on this.

You are welcome, ameronweb.
To elaborate a bit, you may come across offers of a new/unopened/unregistered version, which is the simplest case (you would need a guarantee). Other cases require much detailed information (and a guarantee).
If upgrading to 10.6.8 or higher is an option, you could use CS6.

My new Mac Air states that my " Mac OSX startup disk has no more space available for application memory" and wants to force quit Safari. I have only added MS Office to the computer and Carbonite. Any suggestions?

Select the icon of your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you renamed it) in the Finder and open the Info window. What value is shown for Available (space)?

"Your Mac OSX startup disk has no more space available for application memory" - uploading files problem

Hi everyone,
I'm running a late-2012 27 inch iMac - 3.4GHz Intel Core i7, 32GB 1600 MHz DDR3 with the 3TB fusion drive, OS 10.8.4. At present there is 1.92TB of available storage.
I have received this message "Your Mac OSX startup disk has no more space available for application memory" just before a full on crash multiple times in the past couple of days whilst using WeTransfer to send over some large files (500MB+). The applications I have had open at the time have been: Activity Monitor, App Store, Firefox, and Finder. Over the course of uploading the files, the active system memory has gone from 1.04GB and steadily increased until it more or less maxes out around 29GB, at which point the Page Outs rocket up to around 40GB/s and the swap memory fills up pretty quickly until the computer basically can't take any more and blacks out.
This is a pretty new thing, haven't really had an issues before. My main software used: Sibelius 7 & Logic Pro X. I've also recently started working with Final Cut Pro X, which seems to have been struggling at points. I've tried closing everything, restarting the computer and not opening anything (specifically NOT FCPX) before attempting an upload. I've even gone so far as to remove FCPX from my system, and yet the problem is still recurring. Both "kernal_task" and "WindowServer" have been running high on CPU when these problems have occurred.
Does anyone know what might be the issue and how it could possibly be resolved?
Really appreciate any help, I'm in the middle of a fairly sizeable project and the deadlines are just around the corner.
Thanks,
Tom

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory. That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Mac OSX - Certificate not found

Hi,

and to resolve the above issue need a AD account without space in between (thats what I read in blogs). In this case do I need to uninstall client and certificate? if yes could you please let me know how to unregister certificate from Mac OSX machine.
Thank you,
Ramana

Hi,
FWIK, I think the Mac OS 10.9.1 is supported by SCCM 2012 R2, you'd better to upgrade to SCCM R2 to get supported.
Also, take a look in the blog below. There is a way to upgrade the certificate.

HT1758 Mac OSX has no more space available for memory

Getting message: Mac OSX start up disk has no more space available for memory. Remove files from startup disk.
How do I solve this problem?

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash as well:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
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 also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your 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.
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 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.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the 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 (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS 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 ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.
