Running out of disk space error even tho I have 200GB free!!

Dear users,
I have a huge problem. I have dowloaded an application from the AppStore named "Virtual City" and once I try to play the game it crashes saying "Running out of disk space" even tho I have more than 200GB free on my hard disk.
I am using a MacBook Pro Mid April 2010 with Lion latest version.
What could be the problem??
Thanks in advance.

Did you try to reset your phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Do you have an "other" section on your phone, bigger than 1GB? If yes, try to restore the phone to bring it back to normal size, it might contain corrupt data from an unsuccessful sync.

HT1338 I keep getting running out of disk space. when I check I have a large amount of stuff on yellow called other what is it and how do I get rid of it ?

I am getting a full disk message.
When I check I have a large amount of material described as Other and is coded yellow on the information bar.

"Other" simply means anything that isn't recognised as music, video, images, software (apps) or a backup. So, PDFs, .doc files, text files, disk images yadda yadda yadda. All sorts of things.
If you want to get an idea of what's taking up space on your drive, try GrandPerspective.

Running out of disk space on root partition

Hello,
I'm running gnome 3 and every time I boot and logon with my user I'm getting a warning that my root partition is running out of disk space (~350MB free out of 7.5GB). This seems really strange to me since I've not installed very much software. I've got a 1TB hard drive and the big things are stored in my home directory.
# df -h
outputs:
Filesystem size used free used% mounted
udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
run 10M 168K 9,9M 2% /run
/dev/disk/by-uuid/072ba75b-a418-4795-ac0b-965815573010 7,3G 6,6G 357M 95% /

/dev/disk/by-uuid/072ba75b-a418-4795-ac0b-965815573010 seems a little bit odd to me there although I don't have much experience using linux based systems.
# ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/072ba75b-a418-4795-ac0b-965815573010 -l

and tab completion lists the files of my home directory. What's going on here?

What ?? That's the first I have heard of this. What programs fail? Any examples?
With sysvinit in Arch, this isn't such a big problem, but we're slowly starting to see evidence that this is becoming a worse and worse idea. In particular, if you set a non C locale for daemons, you will not be able to shut down cleanly, as mount(8) is trying to reference files in the locale cache (on /usr) and can't unmount /usr.
Example bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25149
If you're using systemd, /usr on a separate partition is flat out not allowed. We're getting into the realm of filthy hacks ahead in order to try and support this -- see Tom's late comments in the above bug report.
Oh, and be on the lookout for a cache cleaning util in pacman-contrib (name pending):

How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
 Cheers, Tom

Deleting "old" Segments, running out of disk space

Hi -
I have FMS server setup for HTTP live streaming. It is fed from Adobe Live Encoder via webcam. Everything is running well, except I am retaining all the Segment's .f4f / .f4x files since it began encoding, and after a few days this causes our sever to run out of disk space. Where do I configure FMS server to only hold onto the last few segments?
I.E., i am encoding 24/7 and have in my streams/_definst_/streamname folder
Seg1.f4x
Seg1.f4m
Seg2.f4x
Seg2.f4m
Seg2048.f4m
Seg2048.f4x
And I want to only hang onto the 5 or so most recent segments.
Thanks

As Ed pointed out, f4fpackager don't support sliding window DVR mode as of now. I am expecting Adobe to release next f4fpackager with that support.
Bryan,
After your script deleted the old files, have you faced any issue in osmf player seek?
As I understand, f4x files contain afra indeces for all the fragments (starting from time 0 to now). If you forcefully deleted the f4f files for first few fragments, won't osmf player gives out an error when user try to seek to first time instance?

Running out of disk space in c drive

Hi,
i'm new to OBIEE, i installed obiee 10.1.3.4 on my computer , i'm doing practice on sample sales. every day i could see message running out of disk space, daily i'm purging cache entries and deleting sessions in UI, and also deleting temp files in oracle BI data, but still i'm facing this problem.
could anyone give me more ideas.
Your valuable suggestions are appreciated.

iTunes prefs - Advanced.
Set the *iTunes media folder location* to the external drive.
Make sure *Keep iTunes media folder organized* and *Copy files to iTunes media folder ...* are both checked.
Then go to iTunes menu File > Library > Organize library - Consolidate.
This will copy everything in iTunes to the new location.
After it is complete, quit iTunes then delete \Music\iTunes\iTunes media\ folder.

How to set the limit for the warning 'running out of disk space'

I am wondering if there's a way to set the number of GB before I get the system warning 'running out of disk space'.
I saw this question asked in 2010 and it did not get an answer. It was archived so I am asking again. I know how to monitor the available space on my startup disk, and how to empty the trash to clear up disk space. I am looking for an OS X setting that I can change.

My guess is that you want to lower the limit. IMHO I think the limit is alreay too low.
If you are seeing this warning regularly then your disk is severely overfull and needs to be replaced with a larger one.
Running the free space low eenough to get the warning greatly increases the chances for disk corruption. Once the disk gets corrupted then then next thing that happens is data lose.
You have a serious problem with your Mac that should be dealt with immediately.
Backing your data up would also be a good idea if you are not already doing that.

Running out of disk space - IGS Log Trace

Hello,
for a few weeks we are continuously running out of disk space on our CE7.2 Application Server.
The following files are increasing every second:
Path: usr\sap\C72\J00\igs\log

The entry that is written into these files per second is always similar to this one:

Does anybody know what's the reason for this is and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

Running out of disk space - External Drive Advice

Hi,
I've been importing all of our HDV video in "Large" fomat (Not the original or full size). We have an Apple TV so wanted to get the qaulity up for our large TV.
Anyway, we have lots of digital pics, huge iTunes library and now I'm starting to run out of disk space with all of my iMovie imports.
I would like to buy a huge external drive to help offload:
Is there any reason I should be concerned about storing my video on external drive? Any editing performance issues?
I use time machine, if I buy a huge external, can I split it in half and use part for time machine and part for imovie?
Just curious.
Thx,
Brent

I agree that you can make this work. Your external drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). You can do this as you are creating your 2 partitions in Disk Utility, if it has a different formatting when you buy it.
If you want to move your Events from your internal drive to your new external drive, you need to do it from within iMovie so you do not break the links to your projects. To do this, open iMovie and click VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME. You should be able to see a small icon in your Event Library List for your external drive. You can Command-Drag your event icons in the event library list to this icon for your external, and all the links to your projects will be preserved. (hold down the command key while dragging). If you do a simple drag and drop, it will copy not move.

Running out of disk space on an early 2008 intel based 320gb HD

yesterday asked if. should be running out of disk space if my 320 gb has 248 gb of used space. In the using your. Intel based i Mac secttion of this fourm It appears out of space on the HD .can upgrade the HD If so what steps i must take to do so and how much bigger external must buy if 1 tb HD verse a 3 TB and will to buy the external HD before reach over 500gb of used space on the back up I now have.

I Have Moved Itune and only 2.15Gb of Photos at some I will have Upgrade the Hard to 1 TB or higher What are the step have go through. and how can I transfer the files form old to the new Hard Drive
Get the new HD and an enclosure to put it into, then after formatting it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in GUID partition use either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to create a bootable clone of the internal HD. Then install the new HD into the computer. However rather than going through this excercise which is major surgery on an iMac I'd simply get external HD's to store large amounts of data. My iMac's internal HD is only 320GB however it staill has 219GB of free HD space because I store my large libraries on external HD's. Much easier and the performance doesn't suffer and I didn't run into any issues with breaking internal parts of making serious errors.

Running out of disk space -- remove larger items temporarily?

I am running out of drive space. I don't want to move my entire library to another drive.
What I'd like to do is temporarily remove larger items, such as TV episodes, after backing them up to another drive, or burning to a DVD-R.
And re-import select episodes only when I want to watch them.
Is it possible to do this, and if so, can it be done without toasting the artwork? I expect the artwork is not stored in the media file itself, so that could pose a problem.
Thanks!

There is a section in the "About Xcode Tools.pdf" file in your /Developer folder called "Uninstalling XCode 3.0 developer tools". You should have a look at that and choose which (how much) unstallation suits you - there are several different command-lines suggested in that document with different effects.

Running out of disk space (large VM boxes)

Gentlemen:
CUCM 6.1.4
Unity version = 5.0(1.0)
Cisco Message Store Manager Version 1.4.0.38
Exchange Information Store Version: 6.5.7638.1
Running out of disk space (large VM boxes)
Here is the situation: My client never set up any storage or flush procedures within Cisco Unity Tools Message Store Manager (MSM). Now they have several voice mailboxes with a half a GB of data or more in their (Deleted Items Folder)
I ran the (flush messages from deleted items folder) with success on these voice mailboxes.
The question is should I see some disk space reclaimed on the Server Hard Drives?
Thanks, Tom

With Exchange, you will not see disk space reclaimed until an offline defrag is run against the Exchange databases.

Hope this helps.

Running out of disk space -- best way to remove Xcode/Dashcode?

Hi,
I am running out of disk space and looking for ways to get some back. Actually, the problem is that the update to Leopard is requiring 1.9GB of free space and I only have 1.5GB. So I figure I can get about 2-3GB back by removing XCode.
Can someone tell me the best way to do this?
Thanks.
