  • Software Update reports...Your hard disk does not have enough space

    << Your hard disk does not have enough space-3 B is required to download and install the checked updates. Extra space is required for the optimization process. To free up space, remove files from your startup disk, then try again.>>
    I've got 127GB free??!!

    I recently moved all my logic audio sessions to a back up hard disk. Also updated to Loin OSX. My Stylus RMX is not working. I get a message Missing Element on Part 1...Currently not installed on their computer or has been moved to a different folder. Any help out there?

    Hi
    Sounds like you may have moved the RMX library folder?
    Is RMX fully updated (for Lion)?
    Check your hard drives for a file called SAGE:
    It (or an alias of it) is normally found in the <USER>:Library:Application Support:Spectrasonics.
    Note that on Lion, the <User> Library is 'hidden'... quickest way to get there is to hold down Option (Alt) whilst using the Finder:Go menu

  • Im trying to install a new application on my mac but it keeps on coming up with 'The volume of this disk does not meet the requirements for this update' any ideas how to solve this?

    I have recently fully updated my mac to 10.8.2 and i am trying to install a small facebook application but every time i come to chose the disk it says ' OS X facebook developer preview can not be installed on this disk. This volume of this disk does not meet the requirements for this update' any ideas on how to get round this?
    thanks

    That may be the new Mountain Lion "sandbox" protective software kicking in, possibly, because ML "thinks" that App doesn't meet ML's new strict security requirements.   A common phenomena.  If you feel the 3rd party App is really OK, you can override this feature and install the new App by holding down the Command key when you click to install the new App.  That's one possibility for the error message appearing.  If not, another possibility is that that Developer Preview software package requires some previous piece of software be installed prior to downloading this Preview.  You would have to check the Facebbok websiste's Developer Forums for help if this is the case.
    Hope this helps

  • Internal hard disk is not visible in disk utility in Macbook Pro

    Hi All,
    I am trying to repair my mac. But in disk utility, the hard disk is not visible to proceed. Its showing disk0 -> volume with only 1.79GB. and all the options are disabled. The capacity of my mac book pro was 500GB.
    Please help me in solving this issue
    Thanks in advance....

    So you've booted into your Recovery partition and you don't see any drives in Disk Utility to select in Recovery mode?
    If the drive cannot be repaired, it's likely dead and you'll need to purchase a new internal drive.
    Good luck,

  • How do I fix Your hard disk does not have enough free space?

    How do I fix Your hard disk does not have enough free space?

    Select the icon of your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you renamed it) in the sidebar of a Finder window, and open the Info window. How much space is Available? Specify gigabytes (GB) or megabytes (MB).

  • External hard disk does not show in finder

    WD usb external hard disk does not appear in finder.  Disk utility sees it and will mount/unmount and eject.  I ran repair disk util. and all is well but still does not appear in finder 

    Hey Hatter,  Thanx for the input. 
    Among other things I tried was a terminal routine someone suggested with no luck and new drivers/firmware for the drive, again, no luck. 
    I still don't know for sure what caused my problem, but I re-partitioned the drive and re-formatted it and that seemed to solve the provlem.  Sadly, I lost all my info that was backed up on that particular drive but hopefully it won't come back to bite me later. 
    Cheers!!

  • Folders that I copy from my Macbook to my External Hard Disk does NOT appear on any other drive that I connect the Hard disk to (TV, PC, ... etc.)

    I'm facing a bit of a problem.
    Any folder I copy from my Macbook Pro to my External Hard Disk does NOT appear on any other device that I connect the Hard Disk to (TV, PC, etc).
    The Hard disk format is "MS-DOS (FAT)".
    The folders that are copied from Macbook appear when I connect the Hard Disk to my Macbook only, yet, the folders that I copy from a PC to the Hard Disk appear on Macbook, PC, and TV and are also available from editing from both Mac and PC.
    I was advised to install "Paragon" software and I did but I'm not sure how to use it to convert the folders on the hard drive to any format that can be read on other drives or devices (NTFS or otherwise).
    I'd appreciate some help. Thank you.

    Hi Simon.  How is it formatted, FAT or NTFS? 
    I only ask as OSX will only read NTFS partitions unless you install an App such as Paragon NTFS or Tuxera NTFS.

  • Seagate Hard Disk is not detecting

    Hi Friends,
    I have an AMD Athlon 64 Processor with MSI motherboard of VIA K8M800-CE + VT8237R Chipset. My Previous hard disk was a 120 GB Seagate SATA which is lost now. I purchased a new 250GB seagate SATA disk and try to install Window XP 2 in it, but even though the Raid floppy is working my Hard disk is not detectable. I have the same old Raid Floppy which was used for 12o GB hard disk. I am not sure what causiong this problem. Is it relatyed to SATA or Raid floppy. My floppy is working that i used 2 weeks before also. Is there anything i messed. Please help...
    Thanks and Regards
    Boney

    Yes. A little strange to me. In a drawer somewhere I keep the very first hard disks I ever used. They still work, though they buzz a little. They date from 1997 and onwards. What happened to your lost disk?

  • The hard disk can not be split because some files can not be moved

    Prerequisites: Computer has had a partition installed in bootcamp with a non-complete Windows XP installation
    Started by uninstalling the old windows and restore the partition.
    Got error on disk so it was cooked by the Lions recovery and was OK
    Trying to re-install Windows, but get the same problems that
    "The hard disk can not be split because some files can not be moved"

    Problem solved by reducing the size of the windows partition to 40GB (from 50GB).
    I had a quit full disk so perhaps that influenced, not i have about 43GB left for mac and 40GB for windows

  • Gray screen on start up and not able to repair hard disk and not able to take back up.

    My macbook pro bought in early 2011 with snowleopard software and than upgraded to lion is now running on system 10.7.5 .
    My problem is i get a gray screen on startup with apple logo and spinning ball.
    I tried all the solutions mentioned in the apple support for "gray screen appears during start up". This Disk utility says that the Hard disk cant be repaired.
    Before i format my disk and erase all data and install Mac os x again, i want to take back up on a external hard disk. I bought a new 2tb external hard disk so that i can take a back up.
    As i try to take the backup of the image, it gives me an error "cannot allocate memory"
    i tried to change the configuration from compressed to read/write and tried different encrption methods but unable to take backup.
    i sometimes get error "input/output".
    how do i take a backup. somebody please help

    See OS X- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup. If you need to reinstall OS X, then do this:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • External Hard Disk SUDDENLY NOT RECOGNIZED!

    The mac is suddenly no longer recognizing my external hard drive. I have called apple support, but the only solution they suggest is for me to bring it into an Apple store for a repair... Unfortunately I don-t have the time right now to go to an apple sotre, and I was wondering if any of you out there had a solution,
    ISSUE: External Drive (Buffalo Ministation 1TB) no longer recognized by mac.
    INFORMATION/TESTS:
    - PRAM AND SMC rests were done, but this made no change.
    - Safe boot and login with another account didnt change anything
    - Disk doesnt appear on disk utility
    - Did another update of OS X 10.8.2
    - The external drive works fine on other macs and PCs so the external drive it self is fine.
    - All the USB ports are fully funcitional with other USB sticks and External hard drives.
    PROBLEM:
    I believe and so does the apple care, that the computer is no longer supplying sufficient power to the external drive in order for it to run.
    Does anyone know a fix?
    OR, is it possible that a hard disk, which has both USB 2.0 and 3.0 capabilities, suddenly stops working on USB 3.0 ports but continues working on a USB 2.0 port? I have no other USB3.0 ports in my hands in order to test the device!
    Thanx for your help!

  • Mac pro parking hard disks when not in sleep mode

    I have noticed over the last 3 months or so HD's (2,3, and 4 ) are spinning down when I'm away from machine- even when I'm running logic 9 or other apps then spinning up as soon as I click on icons,apps etc .The computer is not asleep when this happens and the computer does sleep as expected under normal conditions.My energy settings are as normal -Screen sleep in 15 and computer sleep 1hr.
    Does any one have any thoughts I have recently done SMC- no difference and have updated to 10.6.8
    any thoughts would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Thanks
    "My energy settings are as normal -Screen sleep in 15 and computer sleep 1hr."Option put the hard disk to sleep when possible is un-checked.Gonna try p-ram

  • My Password to enter my Hard Disk does not work. I did not loose it ! It is correct! What to do!

    My hard disk password for my Mac Pro laptop does not work. I am using the correct User Name and Password! I have not lost my password, it just stopped working and I get the "jumping window" effect and after clicking Continue a few times I get the "hint" for the Password I am using? What to do?

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

  • G570: CD/DVD and Hard Disk drives not recognized

    I have a Lenovo G570 laptop. It used to run fine until it started taking longer and longer boot into windows. Soon the computer would not boot into windows and instead try to repair windows, which would finish but never actually repair the computer. Soon after that the CD/DVD drive dissapeard from the BIOS, and it hasn't been able to do anything with a CD except for twirl it around (but not let it read any of that beautiful data.) Soon after this the hard disk was no longer recognized. I have been able ot get the computer to boot off of a linux live flash drive, but that's only a temporary fix. I wasn't able to reach any hard disks thorugh linux to back up files, and the CD drive wasn't recognized either. How can I fix this? Thank you for reading this.

    hi argiflex,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    AFAIK, if the HDD/ODD isn't recognized under BIOS then it's a sign that the device is already failing and needs to be replaced.  You can try using a 2.5" SATA Enclosure to read the drive via the USB port on the G570 or on another PC but if the problem remains then you may need to replace the drive.
    If the data on the HDD is very important, you can opt to send the HDD to a professional data recovery firm (i.e. DriveSavers) to recover the data.
