What does "Disk Full" message mean when trying to send mail?

I have recently been getting an error message when trying to send email using Entourage - "cannot send mail using this account, disk full". Quiting all applications makes no difference, get the same message. To send email again I have to restart the computer. Then everything is fine until the next time, maybe a couple of days or weeks later.
Any idea what the "disk" referred to in the message is? I have plenty of RAM (640 megs) and as I said earlier, even if I quit all open apps after getting the "disk full" message it makes no difference.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello! Usually the disk full message occurs because the hard drive is at or near capacity. The message has nothing to do with apps except for the "virtual memory or paging" aspect of OSX. Restarting probably clears out the paging file and possibly some other stuff which allows you to work for a while. Select the hard drive and do a "get info" on it to see hoe much space is available on the hard drive. FREE space should be 10-20% and anything less than 10% will likely crash the computer or choke it to a slow crawl. Tom

  • I keep getting "startup disk full" message even when I already moved all my files/documents to an external hard disk

    Dear all,
    What should I do? I keep getting the "startup disk full" message even when I already moved all my files and documents to an external hard disk.
    Thanks a heap.

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
    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 reboot. 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. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your 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.
    If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. 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.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your 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.
    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 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 ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the 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
    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 (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. 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.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning your files.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS 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 ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • What does this Bridge message mean?

    I have a new Mac (and Photoshop Elements 11) and when I open Bridge I get this message:
    OLSException in OLS Adapter Startup
    /OLS/development/main/bridge/3.2.0/build/mac/../../sdk/src/COLS.cpp#19 : 16
    Should I be worried?
    (I've tried using PSE Organizer and I hate it. I'd rather stick with Bridge unless I'm headed for trouble.)
    What does this Bridge message mean?

    Bridge came with an earlier version of PSE, PSE6 I think. The Organizer comes with PSE 9 and PSE11. Like some other PSE users, I much prefer Bridge to the Organizer. I had no trouble using Bridge with PSE9 and an older Mac. But with PSE11 and my new Mac, I started getting this message. I wonder if anyone knows what this message means, if it portends trouble for me, if there is anything I should do to correct it?
    I posted this question on the Elements Forum and was told that it should be addressed on the Bridge Forum.

  • What does this error message mean and how do I solve it? "Sorry, one or more of the following command-line tools was not found:  /usr/bin/lsbom, /bin/pax, /bin/mkdir, /bin/chmod, or /usr/bin/update_prebinding."

    When I try to open up this program, Pacifist, I receive this error message. Here's a screenshot. http://i.imgur.com/v717w.jpg What does this error message mean and how do I solve it?

    It sounds like some of the Unix Executable commands were removed (or the permissions to those were modified) out of the /usr/bin/ folder.  You can try opening disk utility and repairing permissions on Macintosh HD or you can reboot your computer and holding down option-r when it comes back up to reinstall Lion again.  This will not delete your personal information or applications you have installed but it would be best to back it up to Time Machine before you do.  The article on how to do this is here. (http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/)  I have had to do this before and it works like a charm.  It should fix your issue but grab a cup of coffee because its going to take about 35 - 40 minutes depending on how fast your computer is.
