Updating songs eats up drive space?

I checked the FAQs and did a keyword search but did not locate any discussions on this subject.
Is anyone noticing this behavior also? Let's say I take a selection of songs from an album in iTunes and update the year of the release and then reconnect my iPod. iTunes responds appropriately by reporting that it is "Updating..." and then I notice something else...my iPod storage space is being consumed as if the songs are being freshly added! What gives? I figured it was just a bug that the update process is misinterpreting files as being added, but then I go do a quick size check on my iTunes folder on my system's drive and it also shows an increase. Strange. This is also true for any simple update to text I have done. Volume adjustments do the same.
Can anyone explain this?

It was via iTunes that I first noticed the decrease in space during updates. I am only observing the free space going down. I do not see space being cleared first or a temporary reduction in space that is restored after the update. The amount of space lost appears to be consistent with the file sizes of the songs that are updated.
Just to be certain, I will do some more testing later today. Just out of curiosity, I will observe what happens when I remove songs completely from iTunes.

DOES BURNING DVD'S EAT UP DRIVE SPACE?

Hello people, I am having a small problem, can someone please help? Well the thing is that every time I burn a new DVD using iDVD I notice that it eats up my hard drive space. After I am done with the burning I make sure to delete the iDVD file that I worked on but my drive still stays full. Right before pressing the burn button I also save it to my external drive so that it wont take up space on my main drive but that still doesn't work. What should I do? My drive is full, plese help.

You need to free up some drive space in order to have a computer function properly. As soon as you have some good amount of available disk space, your troubles should be over. Try burning your DVD's from the Firewire drive instead, but you still need that free space in your boot drive. A full Hard Drive is like a clogged drain, you need to get rid of the stuff blocking it from doing its job.

Premier Media Cache Files eating up Drive Space

Using Premiere Pro CS 5.5, Media Cache files are eating up the Boot Drive. I keep media and render files on 2 additional internal drives. When I tried to move the Media Cache files from inside Premiere Pro, it resulted in an inability to read the drives from the Startup> Computer menu on the Desktop. This window would open but it was blank with green bar scrolling across the top (as though the computer was trying to read the 3 internal drives. I had to restore the System to correct the problem. How do I reset the Media Cache files to my Render drive which has the most available space without causing a read system problem. When can one safely delete the Media Cache files?
I was an FCP user and all we had to do was delete the render files and/or the media files to get space back. Never had a read system problem from it.

You can do three things.
1 Go to EDIT - Preferences - Media and CLEAN your cache.
2. You can also browse via explorer to the MEDIA CACH. The directory path is shown there in the screen where you CLEAN.
Usually the name is ..../user/yourname/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Common/MediaCache - the path is shown on that screen and then delete items and render files etc.
3. At that screen, you can also change your Media CACHE to be stored with your Project Files and Autosave files.
4. I think you can delete them anytime, because even if you delete them. Adobe will re-create them next time you open the project, but it will want to relink. But maybe double cheque on this before doing. I have deleted render files out of here with no negative effect. But there are also other files here. That I would want
to do more investigation before deleted. But as it is relinking..don't touch ANYTHING until it completes relinking because that seems to cause the sound and vision to go out of sync. It seems a bit of a bug in Adobe.

Scanning with Image Capture eating hard drive space

This has been a reoccuring problem for me. If I scan around 30mb of images to an external drive, my hard disk ends up with a full message. I end up having to use a cashe cleaner to free the space up again. I've figured out that with the 8 GB of free space on my internal disk, if I scan around 7-8 images (around 15mb) it says I have filled the disk.
I'd appreciate any help I can get on this. It's a pain in the butt to have to keep clearing space only to have it filled again one image later.

my guess is that you need at least 3 times as much free space on your internal drive as you have now. OS X needs temporary space on that drive for every file move copy, scan, etc it does. you'll find recommendations of 10-20 percent of drive total space here.

Auto Render .... is it creating QT's that are eating my drive space?

Hello - I've been editing a feature and have several projects open at the same time, as well as lots of sequences open too. I noticed
today that 40 gigs just evaporated from my hard drive and I'm assuming (now, after research) that it's because of Auto Render.
It appears that every minute a new QuickTime was created on my drive, and was labeled, for example: ROUGHCUT_1-ITM-00002d01. Has anyone else experienced this? Isn't this overkill on Apple/FCP's part? I have deselected Auto Render and so far it seems as though it has stopped creating these files.
My question is: Can I delete all these files without disastrous results? I am working with an external drive which has all of the media and the project. The Auto Render has been saving to my MacBook Pro drive - why - I don't know since I have set everything else up to save to my external. How do you FCP users work with or without Auto Render - do you keep it on and delete the files later, or do you have it off?
Thanks for any tips!!

Actually, relooking at your post, I am assumming you are on Final Cut Pro X since that is the forum you are posting to. If you are not, then none of this will make sense to you. If you are then ...
You have to be out of your project timeline and into the project browser on the lower left part of your screen. You can get there by clicking on the icon with the reel of tape in it at the lowest left corner. If it is pointing to the left, click it to get out to where all your projects are in view. That is the project browser. See the two pictures below ...
Then simply click to select a project but do not double click to go into it for editing. Then go to the File menu and select the Delete Project Render Files near the bottom of that menu. Check the option to delete only unused render files. Hope this helps.

8.1 install eating hard drive space

I just completed a Boot Camp install of Windows 8.1 on a 45gb partition. I figured this would give me a little extra room to play with. Immediately after the install I had about 16gb free which was less than I was expecting. Now, roughly an hour later, it's showing 20mb free. I haven't installed anything, the space just disappeared. Any ideas about what's going on?
Thanks

System requirements
Windows 8.1
If you want to run Windows 8.1 on your PC, here's what it takes:
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with support for PAE, NX, and SSE2 (more info)
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
It's wildly inaccurate.
If you wish to check for yourself install 8.1 in a 20GB partition install it with 1 or 2GB of Ram and see how it runs. Then you will 'know', as opposed to 'have read'

Lost hard drive space to "other"?

I see someone else had a similar question, and I've tried to follow some of the steps that person took, but to no avail! Briefly, something is eating hard drive space on my work macbook, and I can't figure out what, nor how to get the space back. I edit film of our library program and also sound files for our local history collection, so I do use quite a bit of space. About once a week, I do a time machine backup, and also move finished projects to the external drive. This has always given me enough room to work - until now. I had more than 30 gigs left on my drive before importing the latest 45 minute movie. Now I have less than 8. I'm not sure I've enough room left even to burn it to DVD before offloading the raw footage. Things I noticed:
1.)I don't know if this is a Mavericks thing, but, when I was deleting files from the macbook hard drive, they didn't seem to be in the trash. The command to empty the trash was greyed out.
2.)I looked at the previous thread (the poster who had 300 gigs missing). Like him, I have mystery files in storage - namely, 49 gigs in "other". My life would be a lot simpler if I could get that space back!
What I've done so far: Run OmniDiskSweeper and thrown out some older movies and music that should now be on the external drive.
Opened the Disk utility and repaired permissions and checked the drive. All okay.
Tried to run the daily, weekly, and monthly scripts in Terminal.
As per the previous thread, tried turning off Time Machine, turning it on again, backing up again, and turning it off.
All this did nothing for me. I am still missing close to 50 gigs of space - space I could really use.
OmniDiskSweeper tells me that I have used 73.4 G out of 120. "Get Info" tells me that I've used closer to 113 out of 120. "About This Mac" tells me that I have 49 G in "Other", whatever and wherever that is. How can I get rid of these "other" files and happily edit my films? And how can I keep this from happening again?
Thanks very much in advance!
Mary

Mail eats up hard drive space

My wife is using an iMac G4 (the first of the flatscreen types), and generally only uses Mail. Safari, iPhoto, and iTunes on it. It has an 80 Gig hard drive. In the past month, I have had to delete more than 20 Gig of space on the hard drive because something was eating up hard drive space.
Today, I was able to narrow it down to the Mail application. When no apps other than the finder were running, the hard drive stayed at a constant remaining size. With Mail running, I found that the hard drive was losing about 10 meg every thirty seconds, even when there were no new messages to be received. In one hour, the hard drive lost more than 2 Gig of available space.
I have performed a search for all files and folders on the hard drive that have 'Mail' in the name, but found nothing that could use up as much space as has been lost on the hard drive recently. Last week, we deleted all messages that were more than 100 Meg in size, but that didn't help much.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be doing this?

Mail just reports normal retrieving and sending of messages through the two accounts, although it did briefly try to sync with .mac until realizing that that account isn't on this machine anymore.
The following processes are there, too:
pmTool
mdimport
VShieldCheck
mds
hpdot4d
SystemEvents
EyeTV Helper
SystemUIServer
WindowServer
update
syslogd
kernel_task
and, of course, Activity Monitor.
(some of these would appear and reappear occasionally)
Since my original post, I have deleted all of the non-English languages from Mail, and I also turned off the automatic checking of the servers for new messages. Although that did free up more than 22 gig of space, it's still being reduced fairly quickly. (Since I started typing this paragraph, the hard drive has lost .03 gig of free space, and I'm a pretty fast typist...)

Disappearing Hard Drive Space After Yosemite Update

After installing OS X Yosemite my hard drive space has dwindled to basically nothing, rendering my computer useless. I had at least 50 gb (maybe more) of hard drive space before updating from mavericks to yosemite. Now, after using my computer for 30 mins or less I get an error message saying that my storage space is low. After a restart I will get about 600 mb of storage but then the cycle repeats. Since I have upgraded to Yosemite I have not saved or downloaded any large files but there is a significant amount of storage space (104 gb) used in the other category. It is not consistent with my usage. I initially had file vault encryption turned on but I thought maybe that was the cause of my disappearing hard drive space so I turned file encryption off and still no luck.
Please Help!

You are too low on drive space for iDVD to run properly. It is recommended that you try to have about 15-20 GB free for the application to run. See if you can delete anything to free up more space. Or, move more of your files to your external drive. iDVD needs to be on your computer's drive, so don't move it, or any of the iLife applications to your external drive.
You can create iMovies on an external drive, move your entire iPhoto and iTunes libraries to external drives, but I find iDVD works better if I create its projects on my main drive. I save all of my iDVD projects as disk image files and then move those files to my external drive for saving my projects. This allows me to delete the original iDVD project and the original iMovie project used in it, which gives more free space on my drives.

What's eating it up?

WORD TO THE WISE
the OmniDiskSweeper was a very helpful download, because it laid out the HD and all the files on it in a "largest to smallest" fashion. When I did this I found that I had an inordinate amount of memory being taken up in my Mail Data folder, this did not make much sense so when I dug deeper I found that a 59MB scanned file that I had emailed 3 weeks ago had not been delivered, so the computer was retrying every minute and saving the history of what it was doing, so it was saving the 59MB file as well as the log about the 59MB file and hence for the last 3 weeks it's been chewing away at HD space recording the activity of the undeliverable file.
I deleted the Data record folders and removed the yahoo account from My Mail and reinstalled it with proper IMAP information and the HD is secure and holding at 331GB of free space. Like it ought to be.
I love the fact that if something very strange is happpening on your MAC there is a REASON....find it and fix it, and move on. In the PC world you would reboot 20 times, call some guy in India who will ony try to sell you a new subscription or warranty for $99 and never solve anything.
I am at rest once more, thanks for the tip

How I can move my GB songs to a CD so I can free up hard drive space?

Whenever I attempt to move a GB song onto a CD (to free up hard drive space) and delete the song from the GB folder, I'm not able to open up the song. Any advice?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thank you for your advice.
Ultimately you are correct about the CD-R not being reusable once the file is burned.
Presently I've alleviated that by not burning the CD-R. However, the downside is that I will not be able to remove the CD-R from the drive until I either burn the songs to the CD-R, or move the songs back onto the hard drive.
Perhaps a CD-RW may allow one to move files back and forth in the same manner that floppy disks do (though a GarageBand file obviously would be much too large to store on a floppy). This may be a temporary "poor person's" solution to free up hard drive space until one can afford a zip drive or a larger Mac.
Thank you again for your tip.
Cheers,
John

Eats up too much external hard drive space

I just turned on TM, and for no reason that I can think of, it's doing a backup that is eating up 34GB of external hard drive space. Here are my questions.
1. Why might this be happening?
2. What happens when external hard drive is full. What's the default move that it will make?
3. How can I reduce the files that TM looks to back up. I need only ONE copy of my movies, for example. But I need frequent backups of my mail files. And for sure I need frequent backups of my doc folder.
4. If I rent a movie on iTunes, will it be saved to external HD?
Thanks...

I'm assuming the 34GB you mentioned is not part of the initial backup. If on an hourly backup it really is backing up 34 GB, then there is/are huge file(s) involved. Are you using Parallels or some other virtual operating system? These can use one huge file to store everything. Make one small change to it and the whole file is backed up. Same thing with Entourage or Outlook. These store all emails in one file. Add or delete one email and the entire file (which could be huge) is backed up.
You mention that you need only ONE copy of your movies. Well, TM does not make multiple backups if a file never changes. TM only backs up new files or those that have changed.

Updating songs goes to hard drive?

When I manually try to update songs, itunes creates a file on my server hard drive and doesn't seem to recognize the ipod, although I was able to run the ipod updater. Am I doing something stupid?

You probably have a drive letter conflict in Windows.
iTunes thinks your network drive is your iPod.
You should do into Control Panel > Administrative Tools > COmputer Management > Disk Management and change the drive letter of your iPod to something unique. It's currently trying to use the same drive letter as another drive.

How do I find out what's eating up my hard drive space?

I installed Leopard quite a while back on my 1,8 GHz PowerPC G5 tower. I had to try twice and call Apple support because I was having problems installing it. I never seem to have much hard drive space, and I don't really have much on this computer. My iTunes library takes up a bit of room, but there's really not much else on the hard drive. I cleaned out some old stuff tonight and made some room, but I am wondering how much of my space is eaten up by the previous OS. Also wondering if Leopard is on here twice because of the double install attempt.
I am trying to make room to install Logic Express 8. So where are the OS's on here so I can trash anything extraneous, and is there a way -- other than individually Apple I'ing everything -- to see what's taking up so much space on my hard drive. As you can probably tell, I'm not the most computer literate person. Thanks.

Try a program such as Disk Inventory X or OmniDiskSweeper.
