The disk space disappears after bootcamp failed in deleting the windows partition.

Hardware: Macbook Pro 700
OS: Lion v10.7
1. I installed Windows 7 in my mac. The space of Windows partition is 80G.
2. Some dlls of Windows will always disappear and at last the Windows cannot be started successfully.
3. Yesterday I updated Lion and started the bootcamp to remove the Windows partition. But bootcamp throwed an error(I forget what the error is).
4. I started bootcamp again to try to remove the Windows partition, but there is only create Windows partition in the options.
5. I started the Disk Utilities and verified the disk. The reported result was that there were some errors in disk.
6. So I restarted the machine and pressed COMMAND+R and entered the Disk Utilities to repair the disk.
7. After repairing the disk, there are no errors in disk now. But 80G space disappears.
Now my whole disk is still 320G, but the mac partition is 238G.
How can I repair it? Please help me.
Some logs in system:
Mar  8 04:54:44 ko-hitoshimatoMacBook-Pro com.apple.kextd[10]: Error reconsidering volume /Volumes/BOOTCAMP.

Figured it out myself! I didn't have any ports open on my MBP for LAN access....

  • Disk Space Disappearing After Today's Updates - Please help

    Hi there everyone. I'm having major problems with my mac pro today, and for the first time, I cannot fix it. Please help me. I will try to explain what happenned. Like most, I was very excited about the release of ios 5 today. I downloaded the Lion 10.7.2 update, the ios 5 updates, iTunes and the iPhoto update. I installed of these without problems and then I enabled iCloud. I then decided to first update and restore my iPad 1 to ios 5. This worked perfectly fine and my computer was running fine. Then, I decided to update my iPhone 4 next. This is when I started running into problems. I updated it and then went to restore it from a a backup. This did not work, I got an error message that told me it was unable to restore the phone becasue it was unable to create backup.
    So, I then checked the disk space for the main Lion drive and it was at zero. I thought, well I was sure I had at least a few gigs, but maybe I used them. So i deleted enough files to create 5GB of free disk space. I then tried to run it again, and I watched as my disk space slowly went down to zero again. I thought maybe it needed even more space than that. So I rebooted the machine and yet my disk space did not reappear. I had about 200mb when I rebooted. Then i noticed it was randomly fluctuating and went down to zero again. I then deleted another 3gb of files and created more disk space to try again. The same thing happenned again. I have now rebooted the machine again. When it first rebooted it had 500mb of disk space, it then fluctuated and went down to zero again. It is going between 67mb and zero every minute or two, and then goes up to 400MB, then reduces down to zero again. What is happenning? I have not opened any applications except for safari right now. Do we think there is a problem with my virtual memory or disk all of a sudden? It seems strange this happenned today. it must be related to one of the updates? I thought it might be icloud. So I have diabled that completely and the fluctuations have not stopped.
    I would really appreciate any help anyone can give. I cannot think what the problem is. I cannot even run Techtool to check anything because nothing is working with no space for memory. Every time I delete files it goes down to zero anyway.
    Thank you very much

    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.

  • I downloaded the new 5, and that has caused my tools etc. along the top to disappear. I need to delete the persona, but it says to go to tools and change it, but there is NO tools anymore.

    I need to remove persona to hopefully be able to get my edit, tools, printing, etc back across the top.
    The info says to go to tools and make thge change, but there is no longer tools, so how can I do this?

    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

  • I keep getting this message, I decided to delete whatever I can to free up some space. Then I get my few GBs I have left on the startup disk. Then after a day, I get the message again. I check the startup disk size and notice I have "zero kb" left. ??????

    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    Restart your Mac after freeing up disk space then check Stoage again.
    Another way to view avialable space:
    Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
    In the Get Info panel you'll see:  Available & Capacity
    Again, make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

  • Disk Space Disappearing -- 10.2.8

    I have a G3 PowerBook running OS X 10.2.8. I've noticed that my disk space disappears for some unexplained reason, although it does seem to happen most often after my daughter has been playing games on disney.com. Does anyone know how to pinpoint where the disk space is going, and more importantly, how to get it back? I've got an external hard disk and have moved lost of programs off of my Mac, but the gains are short-lived.
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    If you go to "more options" in the Search pane (upper right of this page) and enter "disney" and then search "all categories," you'll find other reports of "concerns" with visiting the Disney web site. Some are obviously just plain paranoia but such a search might be useful.
    I've been rehabbing three old G3 PowerBooks for a friend who knew nothing about the Mac OSX maintenance scripts. On one machine, simply running one of the scripts freed up 2GB of space on his 8GB boot partition (the Wallstreet G3 PB has the "Old World ROM" OSX boot partition limitation).
    To learn about this useful function, please refer to this article:
    Running the Mac OS X maintenance scripts
    The scripts run automatically but only if your computer is turned on and not sleeping in the wee hours of the morning. Obviously, 95 percent of Mac users won't benefit as their computer are either off or asleep at this time of day. The article shows how to run them manually.
    There is a freeware program called "WhatSize" that reports what is eating up disk space but I've not been able to get it to run on a G3 PowerBook under 10.2.8, Seems to need Panther.
    You might post which G3 PowerBook you have; this Apple article will help you identify yours:

  • Unrecoverable disk space loss after failure in scanning

    I am using a Mac Mini with HP C410a for scanning.  The OSX verion is 10.7.1.  Because HP has not provided the special driver for lion, I have to rely on the Scan function of OSX.  The scanning process usually consumes huge volume of disk space.  For A4 document in color 600 dpi, it uses nearly 1G for 1 page. I have only 30G of free space, usually I can only scan about 25 pages.  At the end, there may be only several G left.  I need to reboot the system again to recover the disk space.  However, frequently there is error in scanning, even I reboot the machine again, I cannot recover the disk space.  Currently I have only 6G free space in my hard disk.  I have tried several cache deletion programs but they all fail to recover the lost disk space. 
    I have phoned the local Apple support but they failed to give me advice.

    There is no legitimate way to downgrade an iOS version.
    The "other" category is not the firmware/iOS.  The firmware/iOS is the majority of the difference between the 32 and 29.1 (or 28.3) GB The other part of the difference is due to how GBs are advertized and used by the iOS.  See:
    How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity
    The "other" category is normally less than 0.25 GB but can grow with corrupt files and things that really did not get deleted.  To reduce the size of the "other". a restore from backup sometimes works but sometimes a restore to factory defaults/new iPod is required.

  • Disk Space disappears!

    I recently was running low on space on my hard drive ( less than 2 gig remaining on the 75 gig drive) and decided to copy large files from my G4 Powerbook to an external drive, about 12 gigabytes, to free up space. I copied the files then dragged them to the trash and emptied it. The hard drive indicated that it had not about 15 gig available. All good right? Afterward when I rebooted, the memory was still down down on the hard drive, this time to near zero. I then unplugged the maching from the large monitor, rebooted again and then it showed that I had 11 gig available. So, I updated my software as per the latest apple updates and also checked permissions just to be on the safe side. All went well, and afterward I had 16 gig available. So I shut down, came in the next day and now have zero memory available again, can't even download my email. I have rebooted, unplugged, removed the battery, etc but still no memory available. Now I get an error message saying my startup disk is almost full and to delete files. All the files I originally deleted are still gone, 12 plus gigs, so I really don't understand this. Can anyone advise me why the files I deleted are gone but the disk space hasn't been freed up? I am running OSX 10.3.9.
    Thanks

    tnarg:
    There are a number of possible explanations for your disappearing HDD space as the article Where Did My Disk Space Go? shows.
    I suggest that you download and run the little utility What Size. Look for unusually large and unfamiliar files. My guess is that you have an expanding Console log file. If WhatSize bears that out follow roam's fix in the thread Self-expanding console.log files!!!
    Please do post back with further questions or comments.

  • Attempting to copy to the disk "My shortname's iPod" failed.

    Attempting to copy to the disk "My shortname's iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    ^^^^^^
    I get this error since i want to upgrade my music in my ipod 5th gen.
    I have done the 5 R's. I cannot believe my iPod gor ruined when i only listen to music when i go to sleep.
    Please can someone who has gotten this same error explain what they did to remove it? What will i have to do to get this fixed. I bought the ipod on Dec. 15 2005, i cant believe it went broke...
    My 3rd gen ipod never broke up ever....

    I think one of the 5 R's is restore so I won't mention it.
    You can try to use Disk utility. It's standard software with the Mac OS and should be in Applications under utilities.
    plug in your ipod make sure it shows up. Go to Disk utility. choose your ipod from your source list. choose to verify disk. It should be able to see if anything is wrong with the disk. If it says the disk needs to be repaired you can repair.
    you can also try to run the system's checker in the ipod.
    press th menu+middle button then the middle+back buttons. I think. But I've never tried to do that so I don't know how it works.
    good luck

  • I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the b.u. stops

    I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the backup stops. The system preferences are set to "Never" for Computer sleep and Display sleep. The computer does not ordinarily log off automatically, but it has done this twice since I started the Time Machine backup.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
    If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the search box.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • Remove or free data from the disk space

    Hi All,
    How to remove or free data from the disk space. Considering most of the data  in the directories are junk.
    Is there any T-code from the appliaction layer or we have to do at operating system or database level.
    Regards,
    Jitender

    Hi,
    As far as i know we canot delete data from data files.But i think u can shrink the file.
    But not suggestable.You can delete the juck or old data in the usr/trans/log/files.
    Also delete the files in usr/sap/trans/eps/in.
    Regards,

  • What can be done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.

    Dear Adviser
    This is NOT a bug report or an enhancement request.
    We are looking for advice on a customer support call.
    We are using iPlanet Webserver 4.1 SP7 and iPlanet Directory
    Server 4.12 on Solaris 2.8.
    We are checking to see if there is any engineering
    documentation or quick pointers on LDAP database file
    sizes and cache file sizes that may relate to a
    reported problem.
    Thank you for your time and co-operation in advance.
    We have been working on a TIBCO/Portal Builder customer
    issue that does not seem to have guidance in end
    user documentation. This is related to a significant
    increase in LDAP and cache file sizes (which at this
    point do NOT seem to affect any performance). Is this
    something that you are aware of from your QA/performance
    tests? The problem seems to have suddenly cropped
    up and we are attempting to isolate the triggerring event.
    We started with the possibility that it is
    a. Solaris Platform issue
    OR
    b. LDAP issue
    We have done several experiments to isolate specific
    issues as described below. We have researched
    Sun/iPlanet web site and technical sites on the net.
    Currently, we believe that the LDAP database size is increasing
    because the Portal has been configured with pages
    that have a lot of "Personalized" panes. Users are visiting
    these pages, and getting automatically subscribed to these
    panes, which add corresponding entries in the LDAP server.
    Please find below the listing of all the files (from LDAP
    DB directory) which are growing very fast. Kindly advise what can be
    done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.

    This may be perfectly normal behavior for the LDAP server. If some application is adding a lot of data to the server, the database will necessarily grow. You can look at the access log to find out the IP address of the client, the BIND dn of the client, and the operations from that client. Perhaps this will help you narrow down the culprit.

  • My start up disk Macintosh HD is full on my McAir OSX 10.9.4 memory 4GB. I need to clear the disk so that I can update it with the new software IOS 10.9.5 requiring 2.05GB. Need guidance on how to clear space.

    My start up disk Macintosh HD is full on my McAir OSX 10.9.4 memory 4GB. I need to clear the disk so that I can update it with the new software IOS 10.9.5 requiring 2.05GB. Need guidance on how to clear space.

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. 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—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the 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.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. 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. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the 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. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    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 or GP 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.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding 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
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    Launch the built-in 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 by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything 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 the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.
