Solid State Drive -- running out, low on space

I was running out of space on my almost brand new computer. SSD on C: and std drive on E:
Toshiba support suggested a reformat. What I did instead: http://www.opencircuits.com/Solid_State_Drive_Issues
Hope this may help others.

Why would you reformat the drive? Also, DO NOT move My Documents, that is a Windows generated folder and you might mess up the computer and have to reload everything if you do.
If you are running out of space there are a number of things to do;
1. Open Computer (or My Computer in XP) and right click the C drive and select Properties. There should be a button to cleanup the drive. Click in and then select all the check boxes on the next window that pops up and Ok. This will delete all the temp files off that drive. If you are on IE alot that can generate a bunch.
2. Move the OS swap file (paging file) off the C drive to the D drive. It normally is set as 1.5 times the amount of ram in your machine. It is a bit deep to do so I won't type in the entire procedure. Google it.
3. This is more of a pain but remove the programs on the computer (Office, Norton, Adobe, etc.) and reload then but when going though the install process enter in D:\Apps (for example, as you made need to create that folder first) as the destination instead of C:\Program Files.
This is one of the disadvantages of SSD's not, the big size ones are very expensive.

Why does my Hard Drive run out of Space?

So, my Mac's HDD keeps running out of space. Here's the Specs
OS X Lion (10.7.5)
2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB Memory (2x 4GB PC3-8500)
60GB HDD
Okay, so i know its a 60GB HDD, but this thing is used for only internet surfing and General OS functions. 28GB of the 60GB is used via installed OS X, Apps, and Music. 32GB is available on start-up, but the HDD hit 0MB available after a while and the Mac's Virtual Memory caps out and I must force quit an application to continue, but Google Chrome is the only App open other than finder.
I am Computer Savy, but UNIX systems aren't my strong points. I don't know why this OS needs 32GB of VM nor why it doesn't pre-allocate it like Windows does. Is there away to Pre-Allocate Pagefile and restrict it to 12GB? I hate having to restart my computer in the middle of a task just to use it. Thank You in Advance.

Ah, so I ran that and came back with the following. The two bolded items were part of my VM machines.

The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
I'm guessing that I should be okay when it repairs these?

C drive running out of space resolve this without formatting the C: drive.

Hi every one,
                    i am having window xp pro sp3 running machine with 2GB of RAM, 150GB Hdd, C drive 30GB, D drive 60GB, E drive 60GB. After installing all the application its show the remaining space as 14GB but day after day the space reduced now the space is only 238MB. i Checked the properties of the C drive by selecting all the folder and it show 17.3GB. i dont know what happen to the another 15GB.i cant find which is eating the C drive space. i cant defragment the C drive because to defragment i need 15% of disk space. my doubt is it may be of antivirus (i am using norton internet security). i installed .net2008, sql2008, office,Hpprinter softwares.how can i resolve this without formatting the C: drive. Any assistance is appreciated

This is a little list I have also put together for our 2003 servers, should work fine for XP.
O   C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download   Not confirmed, but suspect is ok. (i have done this)
O   C:\Windows\Ie7updates Not confirmed, but suspect is ok. (i have done this)
O    $Ntxxxxxxx$ files can be removed from the c:\windows directory NOT $hf_mig$
O    Attempt to move the page file
O    Run the disk clean up utility, and compress old files, and empty the recycle bins
O    The temp directories in the user profiles can be cleaned out, also check the desktops for downloaded apps for their setup file
These should be safe to remove, but probably a good idea to leave them alone as the updates may need them, be careful here.
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations
O    Ok to delete log files for Symantec
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\Logs
Configure History in SSC, right click server>all tasks>Antivirus>Configure history
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Reporting Agents\Win32\ReporterSvc.log
O    Quarantine files can be removed from Symantec, usually here;
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\Quarantine
O    Ok to delete zip files from Symantec, and actually all files in here
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveUpdate\Downloads
O    IIS web logs ok to remove C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1
There is no option to do this automatically, this must be scripted
O    Log ok to remove C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Logs\FrameWork.log

{}   c:\windows\downloaded installations\ This folder holds the installers for some programs you download and install, for example, Tweak UI puts its installer in this folder, and so you can repair it or update its components later. Deleting this folder won’t harm any programs I have ever seen, but you should look inside this and see what you are deleting first.
{}   c:\windows\media\   These are the default windows sounds, if you don’t want them, deleting them wont hurt anything.
X   C:\windows\installer can NOT be removed, although duplicate files ca be removed. this is used for uninstalls and installs of new apps
X   C:\windows\assembly can NOT be removed, this is a .NET folder, do not play with or compress
X   $hf_mig$ can NOT be removed, although it can be compressed. this directory tells future updates what has already been doneblankmonkey

C drive running out of space

Hi, I'm new to ipod, not quite so new to computers & windows. But 57 yrs now so not bought up on them. Problem that my computer is about 4yrs old now & its C drive is nearly full, capacity 17gb but only 1% available, 338mb. Have got 5.15gb of music on ipod but seem to be stuck now for space to continue adding more music. Sorry to be dumb about this, but a relative has added a D Drive which has over 16gb of space. He said it would make my computer work better ? But he's over East & so cant help now.Can I somehow get all my ipod stuff to work on the D drive instead of the full C ??? And if so, HOW ???? I really cant afford a new laptop with larger HD so I hope there's a way to sort this out ??
Thanks for your patience !

17" G4 Super Drive swap out problem.

I swapped out my old superdrive in my 17" G4 with a working one from a 17" MacBook Pro. It fits and the cable connects fine. The Powerbook now just beeps when I turn it on and does not power up. Is there something else I need to do to get the G4 to recognize the drive?

I would think it is the same compatibility problem you would have swapping a Windows PC drive with an Apple drive. Powerbooks are PPC and MacBook Pros are Intel procesors.

HT4972 i want to update my software version to 6.1.3. but my c drive runs out of memory and i cannot upgrade it at the end, but having to delete the files and gain more space for the computer to operate... plz help me :(

i want to update my software version to 6.1.3.. but i have never updated this before and this is my first time.. im having 20 GB apps and music in my ipod. so when i click 'update and download' tab it starts downloading the new version and upgrading,... but afetr some time it says im having a very low memory in c drive and i would have to stop the upgrading...
can i use my external hard to save this download and upgrading files without using my c drive? plz give me a solution as im only having only 7GB of space left in the C drive

I would rather you delete/move other files to the external HD rather than downloading the update file to the external HD.
First try going here and delete any update files to regain C drive space.
IPSW file location for Mac and Windows
Also, make sure that you have emptied your computer's recycle bin
You can try the manual update/restore method included here and download the file to the external HD

How do you move or can I move Itune folders (Movies), (TV Shows) and (Home Videos) to other internal hard drives (running out of space) on my computer's main hard drive and have Itunes recongize where they are?

I built my own computer which has 4 internal hard drives with 3 internal hard drives that are 3tb. With my movies and tv shows, I need to know if I can move the Itunes folders (Movies, TV shows and Home Video's) and move each one of them to 3 seperate internal hard drives while Itunes can still find them to play with my apple tv. Does anyone know how I can do it?

While you can do that, it is not a feature of iTunes. Put your movies on the external drive, then add them to iTunes by dragging the files to iTunes while holding the option (alt) key down so it leaves the files where they are located. There are other ways to move them if they are already added but they can be more involved and tricky. If it's just one or two try: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected

Why is my hard drive running out of space?

I have noticed lately that I've been losing hard drive space quite rapidly. I had downloaded a Windows VMWare box from Modern.ie and set up in Parallels for IE testing, and once that was finished I deleted the original 6 GB file. I had checked the space before and after I deleted it, I actually lost hard drive space.
This has happened multiple times, and I read it might be a paging issue so I should reboot. Did that, still lost hard drive space.
Any ideas?

I am running out of memory on my hard drive and need to delete files. How can I see all the files/applications on my hard drive so I can see what is taking up a lot of room?

Either of these should help.

Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.

How do I use an external hard drive with iMovie 10.0.1? I have run out of disk space on my Macbook Air.

How do I use an external drive with iMovie 10.0.1? It is not obvious and I have run out of space.

If you want to move a complete iMovie 10 library (file with .imovielibrary extension) click on the library in the libraries pane and select File - Consolidate Library Media. This ensures that all media is copied to the library. You can then move the library onto your external drive using Finder. The first time to want to access it from iMovie you will have to tell it where it is by choosing File - Open Library -Other and navigating to it.
If you only want to transfer part of a library to another drive, create a new library a at the desired location File - Open Library - New and copy projects and events to it from within iMovie.
Its all described in iMovie help - "Work with multiple libraries".

Running out of hard drive space---can I use my external hard drive-??

I have a 16GB iPod nano. I hope I can explain my problem well enough.
My laptop computer has the iTunes that I use for syncing my iPod. It has over 25gb of songs in it, but my problem is that it has completely run out of hard drive space, and I don't think I can delete anything else.
I have a 250 GB external hard drive that also has all my songs backed up on it, that has hard drive space left on it.
Is there a way to load new music into the external hard drive, that will sync up to the iPod when I connect it to the laptop, WITHOUT putting a copy of it into the laptop, and taking up space-?
The way it appears to me, and I may be wrong, is that there are 2 copies of eaxh song on my laptop---the one in my music folder, and then the one in the iTunes folder. Is that correct-?
OR, is there a way to remove some of the songs from the laptop, and put them into the external hard drive, but will still sync up to the iPod-?
Thanks for any help that anyone can offer, I'm desperate ~!
I'm not sure if this can be done, but I'd hate to think that I cannot put new music onto my iPod.
Thanks~!

Hello melbernai,
I think your best move would be to the move the entire iTunes library including of all of its file to your external hard drive and running your iTunes from there. You can even have it so that all newly imported music is saved to the external drive as well.
For more help on how to do this, I would check out this article on how to move and run your iTunes library from an external hard drive.

Can I run 4 super drives with my Mac Mini Server

I have Lion Server downloaded to my Mac Mini (set up as a TV server) and would like to be able to access the 4 USB Super Drive ports via other Mac Mini's in other rooms, 2 Apple TV's if possibe through Apple TV software and maybe Macbook Pro via AirPlay. Are these things possible. The Mac Mini Server is the Best Home television distribution network. Cheaper hardware and fast internet connection based on devices. The above is my goal.
My individual questions...
Can I place 4 Super Drives in the 4 USB slots and run them?
What is the most effiecent way to be able to server those drives on ONLY my Apple Network (other Mac Mini and 2 Apple TV's)
Can I access multiple drives at once from different devices on my Apple Network?
Can I restrict access to teen and child users based on the TV Rating displayed on DVD in Super Drive? (ex: iTunes recognizes CD's by times of songs and digital fingerprint when I input my Store bought CD or adds it to the Database if its a new title.)
These would help so much!
Thanks,
Stefan
Have any questions on how to turn your Mac into a home Multimedia System, ask.

no
a dvd drive can never be shared over a network in order to play the dvd drives content
the dvd encryption makes this imposible
you have to rip (which is illegal) each dvd disc to a computer in order to do what you wish to do
and it's not an apple thing it's the case no matter which computer you own

I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.
