Saves and free space
Every time i attempt to play madden it constantly pops up that i have no free space and cannot save.. and that i need to clear up 2.13 MB in system storage to save.. then it gives me tips like delete themes, gallary items etc... But I still have 332.1 GB left of free space.. so why is asking me to do this and how can i either have it stop popping up or get rid of the message altogetether?
First off delete the game data and re-install it, if the game save is no big deal delete that too If that doesn't work, then start the PS4 in safe mode and rebuild database, see if that works

Is there a way to speed up a Mac (similar to de-fragging on a PC)? Mine has gotten slower and slower over time.
When memory/disc comes close to full would that have an effect on performance? How should I determine what programs/software to remove and free space?Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with visits to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites Menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
Troubleshooting Applications
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file. -
How can validate the ASM size and free space correctly?
Dears ,,
I faced problem in ASM size as it appeared in alert file as below
ORA-19504: failed to create file "+DG_DATA"
ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file +DG_DATA
ORA-15041: diskgroup space exhausted
So we resize ASM space and large it. But we faced the same problem also although there is free space in ASM.
It seems that the shown free space is not real.

I was having this problem. Im my case i couldn add datafiles to a tablespace despite the fact that i was having a lot of space in the asm. Try rebalancing. It might help. In my case rebalancing also didn work because it seems that there need to be a threshold space in all the disks for the rebalancing to happen which was not in my case, so i had to shrink some unused space in the tablespace and then after gaining the required space I rebalanced the disk and then the disks got rebalanced, also i was able to use the free space that was showing . -

The second half of your original query (below the UNION ALL) is the bit that calculates the space for the temp tablespace. It looks to me as if you have multiple files in your temp tablespace and that the files actually have at least two different sizes. This is from one of my databases the has that situation, and builds up to the query that you are using to get the temporary tablespace information.

Problem with game and free space
I just installed a game, The Sims 2 and everytime I try and play it it says that I need to "free up some space on your local disk and relaunch the Sims 2". However I have 50G free space and sometimes it will load. Does anyone know what I should do?
Hi sarah, welcome to macbook forum,
uninstall your sims2, repair permission and optimize your HD using ONYX or machelpmate.
reinstall your sims2, repair permission.
Good Luck. -
i purchased my imac 6/07 ... model 6,1 it has 4 gb ram and plenty of free space, also connected to time machine for backup. currently have latest lion os 10.7.4.
when i went to upgrade i get a model not supported message? what spec or device integral to my model is holding this back? can i get around this or am i just at a brick wall? would like to upgrade if possible? have a 2.33 ghz intel core duo processor, 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
anyone know what is going on with apple and this model, wife has last years mac mini and it's upgrade went off without a hitch
thanks !Apple has tightened its requirements for this OS upgrade, and some older Macs— even ones that qualified for Lion — won't make the cut for Mountain Lion.
The general system requirements are straightforward:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
Apple also lists which models support Mountain Lion:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
From what i've read elsewhere, your older model of iMac has a CPU and logic board that partially runs in 32 bit mode at times. Mountain Lion requires that they run Exclusively in pure 64 bit mode. Yours cannot be made to do that.
Hope this helps -

5G nano free space on iPod and free space in iTunes do not match, help...
Greetings. My 5G nano shows 118MB free in the preview panel when I highlight 'settings' - however when connected in iTunes, when I select the name of my iPod nano, it shows 68.4MB free. Why is this? Thank you.
Well, I reset the nano by holding the menu and center buttons, twice. I dont know what that was supposed to do but nothing changed, not the menu or the amounts of free space. Im going to try a restore now...which I dread because filling an iPod from a library larger than the capacity of the iPod is a pain.

Unchecking songs on iTunes does not create more space on your iPod. You must delete the songs from iTunes "Devices/Music" to make more space on your iPod.

Uninstalled Bootcamp left with Macintosh HD and Free Space
Uninstalled Bootcamp and left with this! Anyone know how to fix without erasing and backing up Thanks!
I agree with the above comment.
Also, I think you can't change a partition that's at the beginning. The steps to rearrange the partition without reinstalling will be time consuming than backing up and reinstalling. But if you want to try it (highly recommend backing up the data first)
format the free space as it's partitioned (partition 1)
clone the data to the new partition (partition 1) created in step 1 (you can use carboncopycloner to clone)
after confirming the data is fully cloned to partition 1, format and merge the remaining partition
I've done it before multiple times with success, but always backup your data if you are unsure. -
Incorrect "Available" and "Free Space" Indications
Dear All
I have installed a second (internal) HD in my computer (no partition). Recently I have tried to free space on this HD by deleting files (moving them to trash). But when I click on the 'get info' link for the HD, the disk space indication 'available' and 'used' doesn't change (even after a restart).
I used the Terminal and installed the WhatSize application to see if any hidden folders (.trashes) are keeping the deleted files on my HD. But even WhatSize is giving wrong disk size indications (when I add up the GBs it doesn't equal the used GBs idicated). I keep on deleting files from my HD but available disk space is not increasing.
So far, I have not emptied my trash ... but will that solve the problem???
thanks for your help,
Hynek
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)Hi Hynek
Sending to trash and emptying the trash works like this.
Every file occupies a physical location on the Hard Drive. The larger the file the more space it occupies. This physical location is reserved especially for the file so nothing else can be placed there.
When you put a file in the trash, the file is not moved; it still stays there occupying the same space, but its status changes to 'unusable'; it cannot be opened, but its location is still reserved for itself only.
If you drag the file out of the trash, its status is restored back to 'useable'.
If you drag it to the trash ( status changes to 'unusable' ) and then empty the trash, the space it occupies also further changes its status to 'unreserved space' or available space. This means that the space currently occupied by this file is eligible to be overwritten by any new file that will fit there.
By emptying the trash, which causes an increase in 'unreserved space' means there is new space now available. So your computer reports more available space.

Hi all-
I recently used my ipod to transfer about 14 gigs of files from one computer to another. after the transfer was done, i deleted the files from the ipod (i accessed the ipod from finder to upload and then delete the files). however, when i view my ipod capacity on itunes, it indicates that 14 gigs of space is still being used by "other" stuff. even checking the properties of my ipod on win xp indicates that theres on a few megabytes of space left in my ipod, and i have a 30 gig model with only about 13 gigs of music in it so far. is there any proper way to free up space on my ipod? why is some space being occupied despite deleting my files?
thanks for your input!Did you Empty the trash after you deleted the files?
