Out of space on C drive

Is it better to compress music and/or video files? If not, how do I take all my itunes files and programs over to my
D drive (where there is ample space)?

I am not sure how the first question relates to the second. Unless you are trying to make your files smaller to take up less room AND stillhave them playable in iTunes?
As to your second questions, see this article on moving iTunes music folders (including to other drives)...

I'm running Final Cut Express 2. How can I move entire project and application from one internal hard drive to another? Ran out of space on one drive. Thanks.

I'm running Final Cut Express 2. My video project is 95% done and I've run out of space on my 500g internal hard drive. How can I (1) move the complete FCE program and video to my unused 250g internal hard drive and operate it from there and (2) how do I then purge all the FCE info from the 500g drive without losing anything from the 250 drive?
Also, is it possible to change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 when the project is finished? If so, how? I now know this all should have been done before I started. Thanks for the help.

1. You can't move the application. It must remain on the system drive. Move your capture scratch folder to the external FireWire drive and use the reconnect function in the project.
2. What's the media 16:9 or 4:3?

X220 out of space on recovery drive

I am getting an error message that I am "out of space" on the Lenovo recovery drive. What do I do? Where do I find information about the recovery drive?

Are your backups going on there? You can either delete some older backups or increase the space for backups.
You can also put backups on an external hard drive.

Windows SBS 2011 Essentials out of space on C Drive

Hi there!
We have a Dell server running SBS Essentials 2011, and we have recently been getting messages saying that the C Drive is full. When we purchased the server, we ensured that Dell installed loads of storage for us which is confusing.
Upon looking into it the C drive is limited to 60GB. Is there a way that we can increase this limit from 60GB to use some of the excess storage that we have spread over the D & E Drives? With 0.5GB left it keeps shouting at us! If we could enlarge the
drive to 120Gb we should be fine for another couple of years.
Thanks in advance!
Max

Thanks, I chatted with Adobe and got the programs move to the D drive. Since then, I have found the appdata/roaming/adobe file that has a ton of disk space (32 gigs) still used on the C Drive. How can I move this folder over to the D Drive as well?

Hard drive - out of space - set external drive ?

my startup disc does not have enough space left to burn dvd's.
can i set idvd to use a different disc for the encode/assets ?
thanks,

Hi
As Glo H writes.
Or put in another way.
iDVD Can't address any other external or internal hard disks but the start-up
boot hard disk for it's scrap files. And these together with Mac OS (UNIX) needs
about 25Gb free space for normal SD 4x3 video.
HD - needs much more.
BUT One can.
• Get an external hard disk
• FIREWIRE - *is a must* to do this (WesternDigitals WD - doesn't work - My LaCie does)
• Format it as Mac OS Extended
• Put Mac OS and iLife on this
• Start from this external hard disk (and as it's new will have plenty of space)
I do this and it works great.

Running out of disk space on D drive

Hello!
Recently I keep getting a msg warning me that Im running out of space on D drive. I clean it up as suggested but it's not having any effect.
The MS forum moderator suggests it's a not an operating system issue but an issue for Toshiba.
It appears that files are being saved to D drive which shouldn't be happening...?

To be honest I dont understand what the problem is. You got this message but you didnt explain to us is partition D really full of data or not. You cleaned it up. It is OK but how? Have you removed data from partition D to some other partition or on external HDD maybe? Have you made more free space? What have you done?
You explain to us whole time what the message says and that you have cleaned it up following some MS advice but at least you didnt tell us anything what can help us to understand your problem.
If there is only 10% free space make more free space and everything will be OK.
You know, we dont know how you have configured your notebook. How many important data is saved on HDD. Nothing. How to give you some useful advice now?
MS has own opinion and if they say it is issue for notebook manufacturer what was their main argument for this? is HDD defective or what?

Query to find out the free disk space on C: drive

Hi Guys,
I am trying to create a query in Queries section under Monitoring, To find out the free disk space of C: drive.
Am using the below query, but it shows lot many fields, I need only Machine names of the collection and their
Free Disk Space on C: drive
select * from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK on SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK.DeviceID = "C:" and SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK.FreeSpace > 1024
Please assist

The SELECT part of the query will govern what fields you are shown, so perhaps try:
Select SMS_R_System.ResourceID, SMS_R_System.NETBIOSname, SMS_G_System_Logical_Disk.FreeSpace
from SMS_R_System
inner join SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK on SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId
where SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK.DeviceID = "C:" and SMS_G_System_LOGICAL_DISK.FreeSpace > 1024

Hard drive is running out of space!! HELP!!

I just purchased a new macbook pro with retina 4 days ago. I've noticed that the hard drive is almost out of space already. I removed all pics and music to external drive and still have "backups and other" that are taking up 75% of HD. How do I clean up these files? Thanks!!

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
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.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
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.

If you are trying to delete some files get out of Disk Utility, it is not for that!
How did you backup and what are you trying to achieve?

TWO Itunes accounts Running out of space on each laptop. Moving one accont fully to NEW machine wit 3tb drive NAS. Can i move second mdeia libary to nas drive ?? Ie tow itunes libraries on NAS drive working independantly

Two I-Tunes libaries (Mine & My Wifes) Both Machines running out of space.
My FIX Moving All itunes account Libary etc to new PC with NAS 2tb drive (IOMEGA)or Seagate or LaCie or etc......
Can i copy the Bulky Library files ITUNEs from My Wifes laptop to the NAS drive ?
Is this easy to do ?
ALSO She will still have itunes on her laptop just none of the Bulky Library !
As the ITUNES program will be Pointed to her files (Library on NAS drive ) ?
If someone has done a walkthrough of something like this id really appreciate it?
LASTLY I did hear with itunes new Updates that it stops NAS Drives Streaming Media ? (SO is a NAS drive No use if apple are no allwing the streaming for itunes Server)

By default, the ITL is always on the C: drive.
SO it seems you moved yours to the exHD. Just moving it doesn't do anything, though...did you ever do a shift-start of itunes and use it as your library?
Pressing AND HOLDING the shift key until you get a prompt from ituens to choose a library ITL file.
I would do that now before you go any further, to make sure of which library files you want to use.
I would assume the one with the most recent date is the one you want.
iTunes uses the last library opened. You don't always have to do a shift-start, in other words.
However if at any point you start itunes without the exHD connected, it automatically goes back to the C: drive.
In that case, you WOULD need to do another shift-start to use the ITL on the exHD>
It's option-start on a Mac, BTW.
You can move the whole folder over to your new MBP and do an option-start.

TM: When external hard drive space runs out, can I add another drive?

I am using an external hard drive 1TB to back-up my new iMac with TM. When the external drive space runs out, do I have to buy another drive with much more space (e.g. 2-3TB) and start over, or can I just add a second external hard drive 1TB (will TM recognize the second one as an addition)?
Thanks for any help.

First off you should know that when Time Machine runs out of space on an external drive, it deletes the oldest backup you have. So if you are running out of space you probably don't need to worry as Time Machine will handle it. Just make sure the Time Machine backup drive has a higher capacity than the amount of data you have on your internal drive and you'll be fine. However, if you'd like to keep a lot of backups over a period of time you may want to consider getting a whole new drive. The only way you can add more drives to back up to is by using RAID 0 which I wouldn't recommend unless you have to due to the fact that you'd be more likely to lose data. The easiest option would be to buy a 2TB drive and use it with Time Machine.

HELP, RAN OUT OF SPACE! TRANSFER SONGS TO EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE (xhd)

I spent forever filling my iPod video with digitized songs from my CD collection and have many songs left that didn't fit. I bought a Lacie XHD as a library so that I can move all the songs back and forth from my iPod to the External Hard Drive on an as needed basis.
I still have the ORIGINAL songs saved on 3 different PCs all with an authorized copy of iTunes. I now have ran out of space on 3 computers and 1 iPod Video and promised my wife that I would get rid of all the CDs months ago.
The problem is that I have tried different fixes, programs that were recommended but the tags, iTunes reading of the xhd, etc. get screwed up along the way.
What is the best way to simplify this swap?
Any help is most appreciated!
Thanks.....

I am afraid you question is not very clear.
I understand you correctly you have iTunes installed on three different computers each with their own libraries of music.
Is there any duplication of files between the computers or are they all different? I am going to assume there is no duplication.
You want to transfer all the music files to an external drive.
Do you mind losing play counts, ratings and playlists? I am not sure that it is possible to retain all the information from all the separate library databases, but you could retain one. Let’s call that computer A.
So here is one way of doing it.
You need to have all your music in the iTunes Music folder on computer A, and if it isn’t you need to consolidate.
With iTunes closed, copy the iTunes folder from My Music on computer A onto the external drive. Now start iTunes with the shift key held down. When asked to choose a library navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
You should now have a duplicate iTunes running on the external drive.
Now go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General
Make sure that “Keep iTunes Music folder organised” and “Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to library” are checked.
Now close iTunes and eject the external drive and plug it into the second PC. Start iTunes with the shift key held down and choose iTunes library.itl on the external drive. Now use add folder to library to add the iTunes Music folder on the internal drive to iTunes. If you have music files in other folder add those too.
Now repeat the process on the third PC.
You should now be able to use the amalgamated library on any of the three PCs by plugging the external drive.
Does that sound as though it is what you want to do?
