Recently ran out of space on c:

I used the preferences to change my iTunes library location from my c: drive to my j: drive where I had a lot more space. Unfortunately, now my iTunes can not location any of the purchased music, tv shows or movies I previously purchased. How do I get all this moved over to my j: drive so iTunes knows where it should be? If can even point me to a link or something to search for in the help. Thanks for your replies.
Ken in Maple Grove.

I followed the steps outlined in the link, but I did not get back any of my previously purchased items. I tried to locate where they are stored, but have not been able to locate any files of my previous purchased music, movies, tv shows. Are purchased items stored in some other way so you can't find it as a normal file? I did not delete anything, could it have been accidently deleted some how with me know it? How do I go about getting my previous purchases back if they are really gone? It looks like you do not get to download them more than just one time. iTunes should really change that. I have purchased items for other applications like Screenthemes and they allow you to download what you purchased as many times as you need it.

I ran out of space on my time machine because I bought a new I MAC to replace the old one. So I copied the old one on the new one and in addition to that I own a macbook. So what should I do erase the old IMAC on my Time capsule ? Shall I reset it?

Go to the airport utility and erase the TC disk.. a quick erase is fine and takes less than 1min usually.
A one pass erase takes several hours depending on how big the hard disk is.. but is somewhat safer in that it tests the drive condition. I normally don't bother for a TM backup.
When you start over you should be able to fit both backups on the TC.. assuming the disk is 2x larger at least than the space used on both the MB and the iMac.
If not you can also add a USB drive to the TC, and use that for one of the computers.
The slowest one is best.. as USB is slow.. but fast enough for wireless you won't notice much.

Time Machine:The backup disk ran out of space unexpectedly. .....

Hi,
I upgraded to Mountain Lion when it was released and yesterday I began getting this notice from Time Machine:
"The backup disk ran out of space unexpectedly. Time Machine will try to make more space available by removing expired backups during the next scheduled backup."
I have a one terra external hard drive with exclusively Time Machine. It says it has 3.4 gigabytes available, but isn't deleting old backups and making room for new, like before. I tried the "encrypting" solution, but it still keeps on giving me this message. Should I erase and format? If so, what option should I chose to format?
My Hard Drive has 240 gigabytes, so 1Tb should be more than enough.
Thank you!
Gloria

SuperDuper and Time Machine are two completely different backup utilities. If you want something like what SuperDuper does then don't use Time Machine. You have many other options that won't use up all the space on your backup drive:
Backup Software Recommendations
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
Synk Pro
Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Do the following to erase your drive:
Erase a Drive
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.

I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can 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.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
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.
Triple-click the line of text below 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.
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 you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

A. Have you gone in to 'manage your iCloud?', and have you rebooted your iPhone. I think the idea is to delete yor previous backups and start with a new one.

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?

Rebuild database, ran out of space on /var

Hi all,
while Syu-ing today I ran out of space on the /var directory. Now some updates are not complete, the applications won't launch, but pacman says everything is up to date. How do I rebuild the package database so I can complete the update?

You might decide backing up /etc and /home and then reinstalling is easiest.

Message: Backup disc ran out of space!

Trying to do my first backup using Time Machine but keep as soon as backup starts, it stops and I get this message:
"Time Machine could not complete backup - disc ran out of space" -- but I'm using new external drive connected via firewire.

Is the new external drive larger than the contents of your hard drive? Is it formatted properly? (Mac OS Extended (Journaled))

The backup volume ran out of space unexpectedly!?!?

I have been backing up all my data to a 100GB HD for 9 months with absolutely no problem, until today it popped up and say
"The backup volume ran out of space unexpectedly. Time Machine will try to make more space available by removing expired backups during the next scheduled backup."
I still have 2.6 GB space available and the backup went on as usual, except after "preparing", the xxMB out of xxMB change together. I rebooted my macbook and same thing happened again.
Is there anything I can do? I thought TM would delete my old back ups in order to make some space for my latest ones.
Many thanks!

Yes, usually it does. The "unexpected" part is not usual.
First, is there other data on the TM disk? If so, is it in the same partition?
Second, it sounds like TM may be trying to do a full backup (everything on your system). Have you had any of the following: Hardware repairs (if so, what?); done a full restore; gone more than a few days without a successful backup?
Third, how old is your oldest backup?
And there may be better messages in your logs. Download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. If you see something there that seems suspicious, copy and post the messages here (be sure to get them all, as sometimes they overflow the small window).

Ran out of space on install, how to finish?

I ran out of space when doing the final install on CS6, and most programs run fine but not indesign. how do I do that final piece (i got rid of a bunch of stuff and have space now) without going through everything again? I restarted and can't find the error report now....am on a mac.

I have the Adobe Download Assistant on my desktop, but that seems to just want to have me redownload everything. I opened Air Applicatiton Installer and it wants me to select an installation package, but the only package I see is the Download Assistant. I tried selecting Indesign6 but it won't let me select anything....

Ever since my iphoto library crashed (ran out of space without warning) my mcbook pro has been slow, unresponsive, freezes in sleep mode and won't restart... please help.

Hi everyone
Ever since my iphoto library crashed (ran out of space without warning) my mcbook pro has been slow, unresponsive, freezes in sleep mode and won't restart...
I've since backed everything up on an external hard drive, removed the corrupt library, even reinstalled the operating software and there is now hardly anything on the hard drive, it still runs painfully slow. If I close the lid which puts it in sleep mode, it either doesn't go into sleep mode but instead the battery just gets drained and I find it completely empty of power (it won't start again unless plugged in), or it goes into sleep mode but just freezes when I try to reopen.
In iphoto (reinstalled) but even other applications it is painfully slow, not like a mac at all!
I am trying to go to genius bar with it but thinking maybe someone in this forum can help...
Many thanks
Andre

Time Machine Unexpectedly Ran Out Of Space

Hello everybody. I am running Time Machine as my main form of backup for my system which consists of about 2 gigs of data stored on 3 internal drives on my mac pro.
A few months ago I started getting the message that my 3TB time machine drive "unexpectedly ran out of space". I went into the drive and deleted the older backup files but this only seemed to solve the problem for a couple days and then the same issue would return. I decided to get rid of that drive and buy a 4TB hard drive (which has plenty more space than the amount of data I am backing up).
To my surprise I continue to get the same message (even though now the drive is about double the size of the actual data I need backed up). What can I do to set things up so my data is being backed up automatically and I don't have to go in and constantly delete the older backups? I would rather not have all the incremental backups and just have a reliable automatic system in place.
Thanks for your time and input!!

Time machine ran out of space

I keep getting this error and I know it ran out of space. I have two 1 tb drives that are being used by time machine. But it seems like time machine is not making room for the next backup. I understand this is supposed to be automatic. But it's not working right. I am getting very annoyed by this error. I do not want to manually delete backups.
