Performance with low disk space

Hi all
I have 3 internal HHD in my G4 AGP. My main bootable HDD(10gb) has 3 gb space left. Should I be concerned of slow performance soon or should I upgrade to 120gb or higher asap?
Thanks
Web dude

3GB is plenty of free space for OSX, but the 120GB will give some increased speed, anyway, since it packs a lot more data per track.

Problem With Low Disk Space - Message - Email and ...

Hi all,
I have a N97 and i noticed that when i have around 200 stored messages in my sent and my received in box then i get the e-mail disconnecting and saying to me that it's been disconnected due to low disk space.
So i tried changing the location of the folders for the e-mails and then i got a warning about the folders not being correct and had to restore them to the original settings.
I'm sure this is also related but some one tried to send me a small video via blue tooth and it told me that the memory was full but for the life of me i can't seem to change where a blue tooth message would go too.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
i know i may have 2 separate issues here but it's all the same low disk space or out of disk space etc etc
it would seem that it's a problem so how can i go about fixng it, it's poor...
The first offering is Nokia's new 'Messaging' client. If you really, really have been looking forward to this then by all means install it, but beware that it will, between application and messagebase, use up a lot of disk C: on its own. And you can't switch the messagebase to 'mass memory', because that gets locked out when you connect your N97 up to your PC or Mac, switching Nokia Messaging back to C:. As a long time Gmail user, I still find it easier to use either the 'old' S60 Messaging application (in IMAP4 mode) or just use the standalone Gmail (Java-based) application, which has the benefit of speed and of an utterly minimal footprint in daily use.
Also offered via 'Sw update' is Ovi Maps 3.1, which also insists on ensconcing itself on C:. If version 2.0 is working well for you then there really isn't a compelling reason to update, to be honest. Or at least not one that's compelling enough to warrant signing over at least 7MB of C: to it. If version 2 isn't working for you, you still shouldn't install v3.1, as offered, but go for the very latest v3.3, from the Nokia Beta Labs Maps page. It's faster and slicker and at least you'll be getting extra functionality for your lost Megabytes, including less troublesome GPS performance. See below for more on the GPS.
Next is Ovi Contacts, a beta-quality social integration system that's yet to take off in any meaningful way. Again, just avoided unless you really, really want to get involved. You don't need to lose the vital Megabytes.
Then there's the N-Gage games client, another C: biggie, seemingly swallowing up 6MB or so in a real world installation - if, like me, you're rather underwhelmed by N-Gage titles (in fact, underwhelmed by gaming on Symbian in general, but that's another rant for another day), then just say no and, again, give your internal disk a break.
The final optional 'Sw update' was Quickoffice 6, bringing compatibility with Office 2007 documents. This also takes up the best part of 10MB on C:, so unless you get a lot of Docx or Xlsx files by email then I'd strongly suggest holding fire on this update - you'll probably get it anyway in the v20 firmware in a few months time.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, don't know wether you've done this, but go into messaging/options/settings/other/memory in use/set as E:mass memory. If this causes a problem with email, simply delete mailbox and re-install it, it only takes a couple of minutes. One other thing , if you want to save any txt messages, sync with ovi first.Also to get C memory back delete all messages sent , recieved, reports etc before selecting Memory in use as E. Also go to web browser and clear privacy data regularly. One other thing to note is that usually when connected to computer via usb, messaging memory will revert to C, and you won't be able to see any messages , so reset to E again and they are all there. Best taskmanager from Ovi store is also a real help with memory on phone.
Hope this helps, and my appologies for the somewhat eratic layout nof the advice. Should have mentioned clearing messages from C before using E !
Good Luck

Need help with Low disk space issue and blue screen

Hi Everyone, just seen a message stating a low disk space on my Mac pro bought last November and tried plugging in an external hard drive to remove some pictures to free up some space but it seems that the computer did not have enough space left to start up and run the hard drive. I then tried to restart and ended up with a blue screen and have no knowledge now how to fix this problem. I phoned support but they say I have no technical support left but do have warranty and I would need to either try with the community here or take the unit to an apple store for an appointment. The store is an 1 and 1/2 from me and I really want o see if there is another fix that could allow me to start again then remove some files and then add external drive to remove more. I was blown away at the low amount of storage.....looked for the icloud option last night to upload there as i was told about this by a UK client of mine and now see it is not up and running. Any advice or help by the communtiy would be greatly appreciated as this is my business and travelling laptop. Cheers, Dean <")))><

Great to hear Dean, thanks!
Further notes: OSX needs about 15% or 10GB Free space minimum, but will run mucch faster/safer with 30-40% or 50GB of Free Space... Free Space is no longer ours to use.
Another tool to help clear up assorted things is Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

What to do with low disk space warning?

My Time Capsule is blinking amber because of low disk space. Isn't it supposed to delete the oldest files to make more room? What should I do at this point?

Nothing. That warning is separate from Time Machine.
It's useful if you're using your Time Capsule for other data, but Time Machine will take care of running out of room for backups all by itself.

Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.

Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.
Attempted solutions:
-I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
-I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.
Google Drive Warning:
Spotify Warning:
But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I keep getting a (false) notification from HP Support Assistant: low disk space on C drive?

Hi, this morning upon starting up my computer the magnifying glass was hovering over the HP Support Assistant icon and usually that means it is checking for updates etc... but I noticed it turned into a yellow exclamation mark so I clicked on it and opened up HP Support Assistant. The exclamation mark was now in the "updates and tune-ups" and said there were "recommended messages available." Upon clicking this the exclamation is now on the HP messages tab and upon clicking that I am taken to a notification that says: "Low Disk Space on Primary Drive C:" So I click on it to find out more information and it says that I am running out of free disk space on my C drive and that I need to perform a disk cleanup etc...
I went to My Computer to see just how in jeopardy I was in of running out of space on my C drive. To my amazement it stated that I still had 1.27 TB of 1.35 TB available and have only used 6% of my space...
I tried emptying my recycle bin, clearing my cache, doing an actual disk cleanup, and restarting to no avail, the magnifying glass comes back after restart and the notification returns telling me that I am low on disk space in the C drive...
I have come to the conclusion that this must be a false notification but I have no idea how to get rid of it...it isn't a huge issue as it doesn't impair my usage on the computer, however, it is kind of annoying to keep seeing this notification...
Is there any way to get rid of this notification?

Low Disk Space - Mini 110

Recently the free space on my HD has suddenly disappeared but I haven't installed any new programs. I have the 16GB solid state drive and originally had about 5GB of programs installed. A couple of weeks ago I started getting low disk warnings but couldn't figure out why but deleted a few little used programs to free up space. Went from 75mb free to 850mb then the next day I get the low disk warnings again, showing 160mb free. I lot almost 700mb overnight.
Tried the Chat option and instead of fixing the problem had me change the Registry but instead of fixing anything only stopped the warning message. Guess the logic is if you don't see a problem it isn't there. Then he wanted me to delete Windows components. I drew the line there, would free a few mb w/o fixing the problem, After this suggestion I realized my Indian chap didn't have a clue.
My firtst thought was a virus but I've done 3 full scans w/o finding anything. Any ideas whats causing my hd free to disappear and possible solutions?

Cannot Back-Up Catalogue-Low Disk Space

Elements 9. I get a low disk space-free up space message. I have had this happen enough to know that it is a problem with my "C" Drive, not my destination drive with 3TB. My "C" drive is 2TB and I have lots of media. I would like to know how I transfer all my media to an external drive and easily link the catalogue with the new drive without major problems. I prefer not to manually reconnect 25,000 files!!
Thanks for your help!

Thanks, but right now I can't do a back-up because I keep getting an error message that my drive is too full, and it must mean my C drive because my external has plenty of room.
Do you get the message when in editor, in organizer or both ?
Which operating system ? I suppose Windows : XP, Vista or Win 7 32 or 64bits ?
From the explorer, when you right click on C: to show properties, how much free space is shown ?
Now, when in the editor, look at the preferences/ performance. What is shown in the scratch disk box for C: ?
Not sure I am able to guide you from there, but I am sure Windows experts can help you with that info.
Yes, no problem about your second question : moving from within the organizer in folder view keeps the right drive/path correctly.
Another question : what is PGT ?

Does low disk space make my Macbook Pro act weird?

Hi! I have an early 2011 15" MBP with a 750gb hard disk space. Just the other day, while I was using photoshop with my laptop, the screen went off so I had to reset it. My laptop acted weird after: doing a screen split (the right part goes to the left and vice versa), one time it had weird pixels that were scattered all over, recently, a blue striped screen. All of this froze my laptop by the way. And all of this happened after a few minutes of usage. And I noticed if I use photoshop, it would only take a little amount of time before it would act weird again compared to when I don't. All the times caused me to reset my laptop by holding the power button.
Yesterday, it wouldn't boot past the gray screen after resetting about five times. But after it turned off by itself, I tried turning it on again and it booted normally. And I could use it normally again, but with extra care (using it beside an electric fan, checking the temperature with iStat pro).
I tried the extended Apple Hardware Test but it told me no trouble was found.
Another thing was, everytime my laptop froze and did the weird screen thingy, my laptop was hot.
I tried to use it again yesterday to just surf the web, and after some minutes it was still functioning. But I remember one time I was only surfing the web, it did the split screen and froze after almost an hour or so.
Also, my laptop heats up quickly compared before. And can stand being hot for a long time until now.
I haven't used any heavy applications besides photoshop to test my laptop's weird behavior by the way.
So I guess it's because of the laptop's heat. Because I can only use it for a very short time when using photoshop but I can use my laptop for a longer time when only surfing the web.
I also noticed that if I was forced to reset my laptop and turn it on again, it would boot longer than normal. But if I was able to shut it down properly and turn it on again, it would boot normally.
And, just a while ago, I remembered my laptop's disk space was only 14gb from 750gb (downloaded a lot of series since I bought my laptop). So maybe what's causing the heat was the low disk space. Just a guess. So is it possible that my laptop is behaving weird because of the low disk space?

The problem is back. But this time, it only happened when I used photoshop or played a 1080p video. I was using my laptop for almost 3 hours when i decided to use photoshop. It froze as soon as it started and made my screen display weird pixels. I restarted and tried to open photoshop again and this time, it froze. I did it the third time and after using PS for a minute, it did the split screen. After restarting yet again, I tried to play a 1080p video to just test my laptop. It froze as soon as VLC started. But when i only surf the web (which is the only thing I did before using PS), everything goes well. So I guess it really is the GPU and not the logic board or some other parts. I've decided to just have my laptop checked.

Finder fails to open when starting up macbook pro due to low disk space (possibly)

Dear forum,
I have a Macbook Pro (13") running snow leopard and have a partitioned hard drive (half OS X and half Windows 7). This morning I was using the Mac side and was running low on disk space (very low) so I was moving desktop files into folders to free up some space. I restarted the computer to see what the free space was but the computer stopped/froze at the desktop image (no folders or dock appeared. I restarted the computer many times but the finder never opens and all I see is the desktop wallpaper. I donnected usb drives and put in dvds but the finder never appears so I cn do nothing but shut down and start up.
I ran Disk Utility but it found no problems with the disk. I do not have a backup of the important file forlders on my drive and due to low disk space I am worried to reinstall and archive the OS since there may not be enough disk space to archive (only about 220 mb free on the apple side when I am in windows using bootcamp).
Does anyone know what happeded to my machine? Is there such low disk space that finder had an issue? I have started on such low memory before.
What does Archive actually do when reinstalling OS X? Does it make a copy of the HD files and folders or does it simply reinstall the operating system piece by piece while protecting the files and folders that I wish to save?
Thanks for all your help and sorry for the length of the writing (I wanted you to understand all before replying).

Solved
By chance I got itunes to pop up (running hands over keys blindly) and with it the apple menu icon so I had access to my recently used items and so I could delete images from iphoto and thus bring the free disk space up above zero and then the dock/folders and finder came back....I have just backed up my important files......feeling better now
Any advice on how to more quickly handle this type of issue next time?
Thanks.

Low disk space message due to scratch disk full (c: drive)

My computer improperly shut down while I was editing large files. I had to alt-ctrl-del to shut down. Upon rebooting I received the message "low disk space" My windows drive now has only 75 MB of free disk space which is critically low. My c drive is a 300 GB drive and used for my programs only. I am guessing that with the improper shut down the temporary files were left. Is there a way I can manually clear the temporary files. When I ran disk clean up in Windows system tools it did not show a large number of files. I cleaned out the files that were there and still my c drive shows the 75 Mb free.
Thank you. Carolyn

Sure would be nice if Photoshop would clean up it's orphaned temporary files. As far as I recall it used to do so... Why was this changed?
At the moment, with CS5, if you have a Photoshop crash you WILL have a multi-gigabyte file left on your hard drive, and subsequent runs of Photoshop will not clean them up.
Found just now in my D:\ folder: Photoshop Temp144397513436 4.5 GB
Not a big deal if you have 2 TB free, but not everyone does.
Of course, if Photoshop didn't crash in the first place, this would be much less a problem.

Low disk space (Boot Camp) - can I repartition my hard drive?

Hi there -
I am a MacBook user through and through. However, I partitioned my hard drive 3 years ago using Boot Camp to do some light Windows-only work. I only partitioned 8 GB to Windows, which wasn't a problem til now. I'm now trying to use some Windows-only software again, but am faced with a "low disk space" message. I cleaned up as much as I could with 8 GB, but it's still not enough. Can I re-partition the hard drive to more like 20 GB without losing any of the data and/or installed software (I don't have access to the install disks...)? I tried to install WinClone but I have OSX 10.5.8, and it said it only runs on 10.6 or 10.7. Can anyone offer advice on an option to re-partition with Boot Camp, without losing the installed software and files/data?
I have a MacBook running OS 10.5.8 with 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (I know, it's old!!!)
Thanks

Qosmio X500 Folder migration utility and low disk space drice C

This may be a longish post as I try to explain my problem... please forgive.
I've had my X500 for just over three months now.
It took a little while before the folder migration utility woke up I didn't know it was there after I'd done a limited copy of folders across from my old Qosmio F20. After it had woken up and I'd been able to transfer folders/files across it cleared a lot of room from the 'tiny' - I feel, 60 Gb SSD C drive.
I keep getting a message coming up sometimes, when I boot up, that the folder migration utility has a setting for me. If I open the utility it shows no folders in the 'C' drive area and folders already transfered [from first using it] in the right hand side for the 'D' drive. Text in the bottom of the utility says something like "if you have done some manual transfers then it can't do anything"... something along those lines - sorry for not being clear on that.
I've recently installed some other programs and have endeavoured each time to do a custom install to the D drive to program files [x86] folder. However, drive C is now showing low disk space at 5.58 of 59.2 Gb.
Checking the folders copies??? I thought for the programs I installed I find lots of folders/files in those program folders so taking up a lot of space.
What is the best way to free up space on drive 'C' please?
Should I manually copy the data contained in the folders [not just a 'name' ... ie; AVID... folder but possibly also in the drive C Program files [x86] folder] to the same named folders on drive D?
If I did, would the programs work properly or would there be problems in the program being located?
When the utility first activated [by itself] I thought "Great... transfer of all my old data to the X500 will be easy" but it doesn't seem to be the case. I was expecting that any new programs installed would be automatically copied to drive D. I'm getting somewhat paranoid about the low disk space on drive C.
Help would be appreciated.

Thanks for coming forward PauPau.
Firstly, when I got the x500 I had lots of documents etc., I wanted to transfer over so I used the Win7 Transfer program to make the back up/transfer images. In doing the transfer across [after the copies of] the X500 gave an error warning that the C: drive had insufficient space to do the full copies. At this time/stage I was not aware that the X500 had a folder migration utility. What ever made it 'wake up' and make itself known I have no idea but I used it when it did. My first problem was probably in using the Win7 file transfer - for getting files/folders across from the old computer to the x500!
I ended up doing a factory reset about three times before this utility made it self known. I found NOTHING in ant documentation about the X500 about this utility and how to make use of it when I bought the laptop. Not sure if you are aware of the make up of the X500 having 2 hard drives; a 'C:' drive of 65Gb SSD and a SATA 'D:' drive of 650GB. If you do then my apologies if that comes over in any 'bad' way. The D: drive is NOT a partition of 1 installed hard drive as your reply would seem to suggest you are thinking.
The migration folder utility, when used first time, copied/transfered folders across - even program folders such as Program files [x86] - and left 'similar' named folders on the C: drive. At that time I then thought that any future installs of programs would be put in the D: drive. Only when watching the first time for a new program install did I see it going to the C: Program and Program files [x86] folders instead of those in the D: drive. I then had to uninstall and do a custom install to direct to the D: drive. However... some data appears that it can NOT be directed from the install disk to the D: drive and still goes to the C: drive - HENCE the issue I am having with the small amount of remaining free space on the C: drive.
I accept what you say in reply to my question about the best way to free up space but, based on as explained above, should I have to do a re-install of any program I try to run after being moved to the same named corresponding folder on the separate D: drive [if that is what I have to do] I think the install disk will still do an automatic install of these to the C: drive as at that stage there seems no way of stopping it. Although given the option in a custom install to change the 'drive' to install to such as the D: some data is still going to C: and I'll be in the same predicament that I am now.
If that's the case then maybe this is something that TOSHIBA should be looking in to solving if they are going to produce laptops with two hard drives - - - even if one [the C: drive] is of the SSD make to speed thing up.
I DO appreciate your input. MAybe I didn't explain properly first time... and maybe I haven't this time - in which case I apologies.
Are there no other X500 users with the same issue?
Thanks. I may just have to give it a go and transfer these data files/folders manually to the D: and see what happens if no one here can guide as to stop any hair pulling frustrations if it goes wrong.

Hi,
Following some tinkering by me following some Microsoft support suggestions, I think I have managed to solve my issues with windows updates...It did involve an emergency restart and a system restore from an external hard drive, and I think all is running OK now...the trouble is, I now can't seem to make a new back up on the external hard drive as it comes up with an error code and the OS_(E tools reporting low disk space. The HP_(D recovery is also looking quite full (although not red yet like the (E tools. The OS is Windows Vista Home basic 32- bit.
Thanks
