G'day. I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space. How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

G'day. I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space. How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.

If tempdb .mdf file out of disk space and we do nothing to fix, what could happen? Will anything crash?

Will anything crash or stop working if tempdb .mdf file out of disk space?

It might crash, sql server will stop responding or you may not able to perform any action until space allocated to tempdb.
Running out of disk space in tempdb can cause significant disruptions in the SQL Server production environment and can prohibit applications that are running from completing operations.

Music is on an external hard drive how to transfer to iPod without using disk space on MacBook

Hi
I just brought a new iPod as my last one broke and I was wondering if there was a way to transfer my music currently stored on an external hard drive on to the iPod without having to have it using up disk space on my MacBook.
I was told in the Apple store by a sale guy that you can do this by creating a playlist in iTunes and dragging the music files in from the hard drive. He said it wouldn't be stored on the MacBook and the playlist could only be accessed (or music played on the macbook) when the hard drive was connected. But when we tried this it started transferring ALL of the music from the hard drive onto the main iTunes library and subsequently onto the disk space on the MacBook.
Can someone help me :-)

The sales guy does not know what he's talking about...
Open iTunes preferences Advanced tab. Uncheck the box for Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library. Click OK.
Now, when you add those songs to your iTunes library, iTunes will access the song files from the external drive, where they are currently located. And you can sync them to your iPod.

WCS - Clear disk space

I am getting a WCS notification that it does not meet the minimum requirements for disk space (minimum is listed as 30Gb). This has been gradually degrading over a period of time, i.e. a month ago it had 27Gb free but now has 26Gb free. The machine is a VM with 2x 50Gb drives, so space should not be an issue.
I have already performed a defrag on the WCS database, but is there anything else I can to free disk space? E.g. are there any log files I can get rid of?
Thanks

The notification are warnings that you are running low on disk space. WCS does a check to see if the disk space falls below the 30GB threshold, if it does, an alarm is generated. No major worries but do keep an eye on your disk space. If you are looking to clear logs out, you can stop the WCS services, delete the WCS7.0.164.xx/webnms/logs as they will be regenerated on startup again. Also try removing some of your older backups if you don't need them.

HT201612 clearing disk space in mac drive in windows partition

I am using MacBook Air and having both the operating system installed (Windows and linux).
My windows partition "BOOTCAMP" is having 79 GB (30 GB is still free) and Macintosh HD is of 32 GB (only 19.6 MB is free).
I am not able to login to Linux operating system because of low disk space.
I am able to login to Windows OS. I want to clear some dispace in Macintosh HD.
I would request for some help in this regard.

It is not clear how many operating systems you have, two or three. If you have a Bootcamp partition for Windows you can not have three partitions because Bootcamp won't work with more than two partitions. If you want to remove the Bootcamp partition to free up hard drive space you must use Bootcamp Assistant to remove the Bootcamp partition and return your hard drive to a single OSx partition.
So try to better explain what you have and what you want to do.

It all started with 'clearing disk space'.

Hey guys,
So i'm having this grey blank screen problem.
1) It started off while i was trying save some documents, didn't work so I went to Disk Utility, cleared the free space and then it was fine.
2) I then tried to surf the web on safari. Some sites couldn't load and some sites did and all of a sudden, my mac just hanged.
I tried to restart/shut down my mac through Finder and it just didn't restart/shutdown so I used the power button instead.
Lo and behold, it took so long to boot and when it did it came to a blank screen.
I did everything I could find on this support page.
1) Ran it in safe nothing happened
2) Ran it in recovery, nothing came out
3) Then it came to a grey screen when I tried rebooting it so i did the PRAM thing and that brought my mac back up.
So to check on it I did an 'EtreCheck' and here it is, seems to be... okay?

According to last EtreCheck you do not seem to have disk space issues. You can run it again to validate what you have.

File with appropriate disk space, but with nothing on it!

Hi!
I have this friend whom accordingly recorded some her stuff. Everything was fine then somebody did something with it (and can't explain what exactly) and now it's still as big as before (like 700 Mo of disk space) but when you open it, well there's nothing!
Do you know what probably happened? Or if there is a software which ccan help retrieve the lost data (if indeed this seems the case)?
Thanks a lot and sorry for the bad english, good night to you all!
Miranda.

Prime Infrastructure 1.4: Clear Disk Space

In order to reduce disk space usage on Prime Infrastructure I will reduce the System Data Retention period (for aggregate data) and "Background Data Collection Task" raw data retention (for non-aggregate data). If I now run 'ncs stop / ncs cleanup / ncs start, will this inmediately clear the disk space or does some other event clear the disk space?
Thanks.

ncs cleanup should be able to retrieve some disk space.
You can check the details of how it works from this document here.
-Thanks

Hidden files taking up disk space

My son has been using my wife's computer and has instaled several apps including a screen capture prgram called debut. Now the computer gives a message that it is out of disk space. I set the view options to "calculate all sizes". When I look at the contenst of the user folder, they do not add up to what the finder says is there. The finder says there 92 gigs used, but the contents as show only add up to about 45 gigs. So I'm guessing that one of these apps has installed some sort of "hidden" files. Searching around the community here, I saw it was suggested to use OmniDiskSweeper. When I run that it shows that my "Library" folder inside my wife's "User" folder is about 50 gigs. However, that "Library" folder is not visible in the Finder view. Does anyone know why that would be? Also, having used DiskSweeper to reveal all the files, how do I know what is safe to delete from that "Library" folder?

This is what I do....I open terminal and issue the following commands (you need to be an administrator)..it will take a few minutes to run since it's counting up space
cd /
sudo du -d 1 -x -c -g
This gives a listing in GB at your root level
It should look something like this
MacPro:/ xxxxx$ sudo du -d 1 -x -c -g
Password:
1          ./.DocumentRevisions-V100
1          ./.fseventsd
2          ./.Spotlight-V100
0          ./.TemporaryItems
0          ./.Trashes
0          ./.vol
31          ./Applications
1          ./bin
0          ./cores
1          ./dev
1          ./home
5          ./Library
1          ./net
0          ./Network
0          ./opt
1          ./private
1          ./sbin
4          ./System
44          ./Users
1          ./usr
1          ./Volumes
85          .
85          total
I'm using 31GB in applications and 44GB in users. That's the majority. If you see big numbers in ./Volumes for example, that is the sign of a failed TM restore, etc...
Now I cd into Users (cd Users) and rerun the same command
MacPro:Users xxxxx$ sudo du -d 1 -x -c -g
1          ./bootadmin
44          ./xxxxx
1          ./Shared
44          .
44          total
You can see that I'm using all the 44GB, not the user bootadmin, not shared
Now if I cd into xxxxx and rerun the command I get this
MacPro:~ xxxxx$ sudo du -d 1 -x -c -g
1          ./.cups
1          ./.dropbox
1          ./.dvdcss
0          ./.idm
1          ./.ssh
0          ./.Trash
1          ./Applications
1          ./Desktop
10          ./Documents
1          ./Downloads
1          ./Dropbox
21          ./Library
1          ./Movies
1          ./Music
12          ./Pictures
1          ./Public
0          ./Sites
44          .
44          total
So I have 10GB of documents, 21GB in my Library, 12GB of photos
One more time in Library (cd ~/Library)
(truncated for brevity)
I have 7GB of application support and 12GB of mail
So with simple commands I can trackdown strageness with storage. You can't know what to delete but you can ask here "why is this folder using so much space?" Your son may have his own account and is using 40GB of space now. My own son has downloaded several games on his mac where each one is 15GB.

Removing arch1*.dbf files to save disk space

Hello folks,
arch1*.dbf files are archive redo log files? They are filling up my harddisk. Are they safe to remove? How can I stop archiving?

In the pfile, as I have said in my earlier post, these lines are commented out:
# Uncommenting the lines below will cause automatic archiving if archiving has
# been enabled using ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG.
# log_archive_start = true
# log_archive_dest_1 = "location=/opt/app/oracle/admin/cdr/arch"
# log_archive_format = arch_%t_%s.arc
That's why I cannot understand what's happening. However in the alert file I am having these logs:
cdr; ARC1: Creating local archive destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1: '/opt/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/dbs/arch1_62443_509796482.dbf' (th

Committing creation of archivelog '/opt/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/dbs/arch1_62443_509796482.dbf'

Of course when I had no disk space I was having these errors:

Transfer iMovie files from a Configured Device?

How can I transfer iMovie porjects from a configured ipad to iTunes or other place on a MacBook?

With Supervised devices you are restricted to uploading video files to the supervising Mac.
You can use dropbox on any iPad. Not the best, since movies are large.
A simple and popular way to copy files.

I guess you could transfer overnight.

Recycle bin and 'clear disk space'

a combination issue, in PC settings etc you have the option to manage disk space, mentions the recycle bin at the bottom, HOWEVER, it displays the bin as empty, while it actually has about 6GB in it over at least 1 of the 3 'drives' I have.
also, if you search for the reyclebin it'll always return nothing, the only access to it is via the desktop folder assuming you actually have one, 'This PC' (aka 'my computer' or 'computer') are still accessible via search so why not the bin?
both of these I find pretty stupid to the point I call them bugs, there been anything about this...?

Hi,
The storage occupied in recyle bin under PC settings is the same as the storage occurpied in the bin in desktop, that means if you empty the recyle bin in desktop, then the recycle bin at the bottom of PC settings will also display empty.
And regarding to this sentence
"if you search for the reyclebin it'll always return nothing, the only access to it is via the desktop folder assuming you actually have one, 'This PC' (aka 'my computer' or 'computer') are still accessible via search so why not the bin?"
I don't quite understand this sentence, but search result should be related with "Indexng Options" under Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Indexing Options

TechNet Community Support
'same as the one on the desktop' well no, its not;
why would you think I'd say otherwise?
also, considering the indexing should already contain the desktop, that doesn't make sense either, and I definitely haven't turned off indexing anywhere.

How to transfer playlist files to USB disk

Okay, so I have a nice playlist full of 8 GB of music, now I want to transfer those files (in no particular order) onto my mini USB thumb drive to use in my car. What is the best way to do this in an organized way? I was thinking of right clicking on every album and "reveal in finder", then manually transfer that album's folder to keep it all organized in the USB drive. I'm trying to setup a few USB drives to function like an old multi-CD changer would. Any better ways before I waste some time?
Thanks!

Thanks for the response Limmos. I tried this, but unfortunately all the files go into a single directory, so there is no folder organization anymore, so I loose all my album searching options in the car (requires folders).
I thought about this last night and I had an idea. I'm thinking of copying all the files to the drive as you described above, then restarting itunes with the option key held down, forcing it to create a new library, adding all the files with are now on the drive to the new blank library, and then run the Library> organize library. Would that work?
