Startup Disk Memory Error
I suddenly got a popup while playing Minecraft saying that my startup disk had run out of memory. Checking Macintosh HD's info, it was practically full even though the last time I downloaded anything I had over 70 GB free. Upon restart some of my System Preferences reset themselves (Dock, Mission Controls) as well as the icons I had on the dock. The only clue I have is from Console messages, since I didn't think of checking Activty Monitor...

What I find odd is all of the Google Chrome Helper messages, but I have no idea at all what caused it.
Not to mention, after restarting my startup disk it returned to normal.

Startup Disk Full Error - Please help
Dear ALL,
I have started to notice recently that when I run Photoshop CS on my Mac OSX Tiger, I am getting the Startup Disk Full error message.
I have no clue as to how to correctly fix this issue. I looked at my HD and I seem to have 32GB available, which I would have thought would have been ample space. I have started to remove unwanted files and backup to CD large image files. So this should free up some more space. The question is will this be enough to get rid of this issue and is it associated with the amount of HD space on my drive? or would I need to run some script etc? or download/buy some other product to fix this?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
MaxOK I tried Macaroni...and when I tried to work with a TIFF file I get the same Startup Disk is FULL message. The I get an adobe message saying Scratch Disk is FULL.
Any further suggestions would be appreciated. -
What do i need to do when i get a startup disk full error?
What do i need to do when i get a startup disk full error? I can't update software or use my MacAir at all.
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 anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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. -
Adobe Photoshop Scratch Disk Full/Startup Disk Full error - PLEASE HELP
Dear ALL,
I have started to notice recently that when I run Photoshop CS on my Mac OSX Tiger, I am getting the Startup Disk Full error message. Never happended before.
Since my initial post I downloaded Macaroni (utility) and have run the daily/weekly/monthly backups, checked the /private/var/vm and /private/var/log and /Volumes. Nothing unusual there...
When I started getting this error I had 32GB left on a looked at my HD and I seem to have 32GB available on a 152GB drive. Now after deleting I have 76GB capacity left.
But when I tried to open a Photoshop PSD or TIFF file and do a crop I still get tge Startup Disk is Full error followed by the Adobe Photoshop error Scratch Disk is Full.
I am thinking of running the Disk Utility from the Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and doing a Verify Disk and Verify Disk Permissions followed by Repair Disk Permissions. I will be logged into the machine whilst doing this. Is there any danger in this as I have read elsewhere that I need to do this from a bootable volume. If that is the case how do I create a bootable disk/cd? If not then what is the cure to my Disk Full as surely there is now nearly 50% FREE!!!!!
Please help.
MaxPS will always use the boot disk for scratch to some extent even with an alternate primary scratch disk.
Be sure to turn off Spotlight as it causes problems.
4GB of RAM would be nice, I understand small files don't work well if there is more than 4GB RAM but large files will. OS X uses free RAM as cache and RAM disk before using disk drives.
How much RAM is allocated to PS? More RAM would help.
A dedicated lean boot drive helps. Install just what is needed for your work, use a separate drive for data, and yet another RAID volume for scratch.
When in doubt, backup with SuperDuper, and do an erase and then restore. Always backup before repairing; and never, ever, use an old version of Tiger CD/DVD - like 10.4.2 on 10.4.7/.8. Use "fsck" instead, or your emergency boot drive.
Also, give Applejack a shot and delete the cache folders and swap files from time to time to keep a system humming. CS/CS2 and Tiger benefit nicely from more RAM. -
What does this error message mean? (startup disk memory)
Hello,
I am running OS 10.7.2 (Lion) on a new'ish 27 inch iMac, and I am getting the following error message appearing randomly on my screen:
"Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory"
There is a yellow exclamation point, and then all of my open applications are listed with a button for "Force Quit" or "Resume". I tried to attach a picture of the error window into this message, but it was rejected and said that I am not allowed to post that type of content (Huh???). I used the "Grab" application to take a shot of the error message, and I thought that was how I could attach the picture but I must be doing something wrong.
I went into "About This Mac", and then I clicked on "More Info". From there, I clicked on "Storage" to see how much memory I have left. It shows that I have 830.19 GB available of 999.35GB, so there is a ton of memory remaining.
Any suggestions? Thanks!Try resetting PRAM
If that doesn't work WhatSize or OmniDisksweeper may help you find the problem.

Startup disk full error. HELP!
so i'm browsing throught the internet and i get a notification that my startup disk is full and it gives me a list of which applications I can quit. Slightly puzzled (because my desktop is relatively new and I'v only used about 1/3 of my total memory capacity) I quit some applications and continue browsing. I continue to get this error as i browse the internet but at that point it was at 2am in the morning and i had work the following day. I decided to put off the problem till the next day (today). After a good 3-4 hours of usage the same error message popped up! I decided to research it a little bit and I believe it has something to do with this:
unfortunately the people who i were following didn't go into detail about how to solve the problem. please help me out! thanks.Your problem is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination. In Activity Monitor, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more memory over time without ever releasing it.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details:
Memory Usage Performance Guidelines: About the Virtual Memory System -
Startup Disk Full Error when it is not full.
When ever my swap files reach the size of the free space on my startup disk (60GB) I receive this error even though my swap files are stored on a separate disk with 500GB free. The startup disk continues to have 60GB free when this error occurs. The swap file disk has 440GB free. I know the program has a memory leak, but it should continue to run until the swap file disk is full. Please help!
If you open System Preferences and then go to the Software Update pane, you can click on the Installed Updates tab to see when various updates were installed. Look in particular for the Mac OS X Update Combined 10.5.2 and the Leopard Graphics Update; when were they installed relative to 2/23.
Three things you can do as general trouble-shooting steps, if you haven't done them already.
Run Disk Utility. Use the Repair Disk Permissions routine under First Aid tab on your internal drive.
Restart from the Mac OS X installation disk. From the Installer's Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. Use the Repair Disk routine under First Aid on your internal drive. See if that reports any problem.

I am getting a message saying that my startup disk is almost full so the file I'm trying to save cannot be saved.
The weird thing is that I am trying to save a 2MB file and I have still 94GB of free space in my startup disk!!!
Does anyone know what could be happening here?
Thanks,
CantautorScan your drive with WhatSize once and see if you can see what's eating up your disk space.
http://www.id-design.com/Software/WhatSize/
Pay attention to these files:
/private/var/vm
/private/var/log
/Volumes
The /private/var/vm directory contains the swapfiles used by virutal memory. New ones are made as more data is swapped from RAM to the hard drive. The entire process of creating them begins at each reboot or restart. Check the total size of all the swapfiles, right after you boot, and as the disk fills up. Swapfiles are used by virtual memory. The first two are 64MB, then each new one is twice the size of the preceeding one (128MB, 256MB, 512MB...).
If you do not run the daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance routines (either by using a utility, or by running the commands sudo perioidic daily, sudo perioidc weekly, and sudo periodic monthly in Terminal), you will accumulate too many logs. If an error is occurring frequently and is being logged, you can have a very large file at /private/var/log/system.log. I recently saw mention of a system.log file that was larger than 40 GB.

Why do I get startup disk full error even though I have 2 gb free?
My startup disk is getting full (I get error message) after 1 day of usage.
In the finder, after a restart, it says I have 2.05 GB available.
Then after working for a while (yes, I keep a few apps open - usually Entourage, Word, Firefox, iTunes -- but c'mon, I have 1 GB of RAM) I get an error that my startup disk is full.
This is my Terminal Log after getting the error:
Processes: 68 total, 2 running, 66 sleeping... 241 threads 16:52:11
Load Avg: 0.92, 0.79, 0.71 CPU usage: 40.4% user, 8.4% sys, 51.1% idle

VM: 6.67G + 104M 21081(0) pageins, 0(0) pageouts
Any suggestions?That isn't much hard drive space open. I have heard 10% should be free, so if you have an 80 GB drive you need 8 GB free; if you have 100, 10 free and so on. Even if the figure is 5% you are still too low.
Your error message said you had 267438 pageouts to the disk which seems huge. That means your physical RAM can't keep up and is sending out data to the hard disk which is virtual memory, not real RAM memory. I don't know enough about it to say for sure but that seems like a recipe for this kind of trouble. -
Startup Disk Full Error but disk shows only 20Gb on it!
I have a 150 Gb startup drive. I keep getting the error that the stratup drive is full and Get Info shows only 300Mb left on drive! Do get info on the 5 directories on the drive, Applications, Developer, Library, System, and Users and it all adds up to just over 20Gb. Am I missing something here? Ran Disk Utilities and the disk verifies ok and verified permissions and ok. I am running Time Machine but it backs up to an external firewire drive, not the startup disk.
I know that I can add another drive cheaply but I really want to know why this disk appears to be full. Any help? Thanks in advance!There are lots of hidden directories. There could be actual data instead of alias mount points under "/Volumes" which is often one reason.
There are a couple programs to show where space is going, as well as sort output from terminal, but I prefer OmniGroup OmniDiskSweeper - look on MacUpdate - to show and access files. Program works fine even though shareware.
And yes, you might want to use the Raptor? for something else and get even WD 640GB for $75, or the 3rd gen VelociRaptor 300GB $289.
There are threads in "Using Leopard" regularly about "where did my space go." -
"Startup Disk Full" error when playing World of Warcraft
Whenever I play World of Warcraft for an hour or more, the "Your Startup disk is almost full" error pops up. I know this is not true and to prove it I have taken a screen shot (might be hard to read) with the error message above my finder window stating there is 396.74 GB free on my Macintosh HD.

"startup disk full" error message
So, I get this error message saying "your startup disk is full: you need to make disk space available by deleting files" (or something along those lines). I went through my files, saved about 10 gigs of stuff to my external HD, then deleted it from my mac HD.
I keep getting this message, even after clearing up several gigs of space. When I boot up my computer, I have about 448mb of space on my HD, but it seems to disappear within a few minutes, even without any activity on my part.
Thanks.
-ErikA Unix-based OS such as OS X requires hard drive space for log and cache files; this can take anywhere from 64MB to 2GB depending on how much RAM you have, how long since the cron maintenance tasks last ran, whether anyting is causing large write operations to the various logs, and so on. As a rule of thumb, you don't want an OS X Mac to drop below about 5GB free space, minimum; a oft-cited ballpark of keeping 10 to 15% of the hard drive free allows for user-created data and allows some safety margin.
If a Unix computer fully runs out of space, the computer can fail to start normally. You'd then face starting in single-user mode (hold the command and s keys down at startup), which puts you in a Unix command line interface. It's possible to use Unix commands to navigate around and search for unnecessary files to delete, but doing so if definitely non-trivial.
While written for Tiger, Francine: A Miscellany of Mystifying Tiger Problems has some useful tips you can try.
If you moved several GB to the Trash and tried to empty the Trash while the Mac's hard drive was nearly full, that effort may have unintentionally corrupted the disk directory. Boot from your OS X Install disc to launch Disk Utility from the Installer menu, and run Repair Disk on the hard drive (see Using Disk Utility and fsck). If repairs are reported, repeat Repair Disk until no problems are found. If DU is unable to repair the drive, DiskWarrior can often make directory repairs that DU cannot. -
Startup disk full error - boots normally but won't start finder
I'm having a problem in which my iMac when it boots gives me an error that the startup disk is full, but other than that it can boot normally and allow me to log in, but after that the startup stalls. I never get past the default "outer space" desktop image and finder never starts, so there's no icons, no dock, and nothing on the menu bar. What's weird is that Safari and Mail start and I can see them because I believe I have them starting automatically at boot. Safari works (I'm using it now to enter this discussion). Mail on the other hand starts but is hung checking for the servers for incoming mail.
I've tried to boot in safe mode (holding down Shift key at startup), but it doesn't work.
I've tried to boot in single user mode (holding down cmd-S at startup), but it doesn't work either.
I've tried to boot from Snow Leopard installation media (holding down C at startup), but it doesn't work as well.
Each time I try one of these alternate boot methods, it just takes me to the normal login screen with the startup disk full message. I click OK, login, and get stuck.
I'm just trying to get the finder started so that I can delete some files, but I just can't get that far. It's strange that the browser works perfectly and internet connection is fine, but nothing else works.
Thoughts? Thanks. - MikeHi Lina, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Safe Mode might allow you to boot and free up some space.
If you have access to another Mac and a FireWire cable, another option would be to use FireWire Target Disk Mode to transfer data to the other Mac and delete it on your MBA.
If either way works, you want to open up somewhere around 15% free space. Once you do that, run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screen select the language and click Continue> click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the left side>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself).
Ultimately, though, it sounds like you need a larger HD . . . . -
Startup Disk Memory Inexplicably Low/Missing
I normally keep a close eye on the amount of info going into my partitioned Mac HD (presently: capacity 29.88 GB, 27.64 Used, 2.23 Available), but I received a message today to the effect that "your startup disk is low in available memory..." while only running Safari... The last time I had checked (about 1 month ago) I had between 9 and 10 GB of available space, so needless to say I was rather surprised to get this message. I immediately did a "Get Info" on the drive and was SHOCKED for TWO reasons! 1) that the available memory was so low... but ALSO as I checked and RE-checked the memory was DISAPPEARING before my eyes! I was only running Safari (although a couple hours prior I had worked on and saved a 5+ page site in iWeb with a fair amount of imagery... I have 1 GB of RAM. I restarted and the drive has since stabalized at 2.22-2.23 GB Available. I restarted in Safe Mode and restarted again and ran a repair permissions on it. All seems to be ok for now BUT I haven't reopened iWeb for fear that that may be eating up what little memory is left AND then there is this OTHER issue of where these other 8 or so GB have gone to???? When I calculate Finder items in the HD they total 19.5 GB not the 27.64 that "Get Info" pulls up for it. One more note: I installed iLife '06 about a month ago... What is happening here?
PowerBook G4 17" Mac OS X (10.4.5)Hi, O.
1. IMO, with only 2-3 GB of available (free) space, you're critically short of free disk space. Cache files and virtual memory swap files could readily and quickly consume that. See my "Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space" FAQ.
2. A runaway process constantly writing to log files can chew up disk space. Check these Console logs for clues, specifically large blocks of repeating messages that recur at high-frequency. If you find such blocks, post some samples for diagnosis. Again, do not post the entire log or logs, just copy/paste samples of blocks of repeating messages that recur at high frequency.
Common causes of runaway processes writing to logs include software associated with Canon and HP scanners, software for HP All-In-One devices, and Adobe Acrobat version 7.x prior to version 7.0.5. Depending on the messages you post, I can give you specific actions to take if one of those apply.
3. See also my "Freeing Space on your Mac OS X startup disk" FAQ.
Good luck!
