What does it mean by scratch disk full?
Hi
can someone help me with my photoshop
every time i try to save something it tells me that my Scratch disk is full.
what does that mean and how to do solve it?
Use Photoshop menu Edit>Preferences>Performance add additional scratch space. Then stop and restart Photoshop. It means the disk you have Photoshop scratch space on has filled up. Photoshop can gobble lots of scratch disk when your using PS. When you close down the space will be returned to you system.

What does it mean start up disk need space
keeps popping up start disk need to free space what does that mean ?
It very likely means your hard drive is running out of room. Click on the Macintosh HD icon on your desktop and click cmd-I to open an information window. That will tell you how much room is used and available. If it's very low (eg under 1GB) you will need to move some files off the drive. Look in your Downloads folder for files you can trash; empty your Trash too. If you have a lot of movies, those will take up the most room, followed by pictures and music. There are tools which will tell you where your large files and folders are - search for Omnidisksweeper, Whatsize and Daisydisk.

This message keeps appearing and my time machine is not backing up. What is the reason and how can I fix this?
Maybe this will shed some light on the problem: The Backup disk image ... sparsebundle ... is already in use.

Tried to use the spot healing brush and clone stamp and got error messages "cannot use because the scratch disks are full." What does this mean? PSE9
Elements uses drive space to make its calculations, like someone writing down measurements on a scrap of paper. How much free space is there on your hard drive?

What does scratch disk full mean???
If your scratch disk were really full, it would mean that there's not enough space left on your hard drive for PSE to do its calculations. But usually that error message means your hard drive is too big. PSE 2 can't see a 1 GB drive, for instance. It wants 750MB or less. If you use windows you can possibly get around it by partitioning your hard drive, if you think it's worth it. There's no way to make PSE 2 run on a current mac.

I am getting a message that states "startup disk is full". What does this mean and how do I fix it?
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. -
HT201210 startup disk is full-what does this mean and what do I do?
When syncing my iphone I get an error message that said my start up disk was full. Now it won't backup my phone to my computer. What does that mean and what do I do?
Click on your hard drive once. Then File > Get Info. What does it report there for space (capacity and "available")? Have you emptied the Trash (Finder > Empty Trash)? If you have truly filled up you hard drive then it is critical you copy files off onto an external hard drive soon. Macs need a lot of free drive space at all times and you may experience frequent crashes, slow down, and file loss if you don't free up space (15+ GB at all times at least)..

What does it mean when it says my start up disk is full? What do I need to do to correct this?
What does it mean when it says my start up disk is full?
What do I need to do to reduce or empty it?Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located. -

when i try to open itunes ,this written appears :"The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file. "What does it mean?
To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty. Note that I am running Windows 8. Hope this helps!

Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired. When I repaired "disk permission", this message was what came up. What does this mean, and how can I fix it?
The opperating system I am using is 10.7.4, and updating to the latest version currently. Computer is running fine, except that when I did some utility repairs, I got the warning above, and not really sure what do, in regards to repairing it correctly, not just getting the message off of my computer.
Thank you for your help, and please only contribute if you know about this issue please.That's a status message which can be safely ignored.

When trying to do a system backup to my remote LaCie hard drive, what does it mean when I get a message that says "waiting for volume LaCie disk"? While this message apears no back-up occurs. Is there a setting I need to change?
You can't do a backup of icloud to an external drive. In fact, does your post have anything to do with icloud (you're in the icloud forum)?
What kind of "system backup" are you doing? Are you using Time Machine? -
I keep getting this error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: "Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space." What does this mean?
Well it probably means exactly what it says... How much free space is there on your hard drive where the iTunes Media folder resides? I believe there is also an obscure bug that can occur when software doesn't read the true value of the free space properly, and the workaround is, perversely, to duplicate some content so that with less actual free space the software in question perceives it as more. I've no idea if iTunes is affected by such a bug.

What does it mean when one gets a message that Time Capsule or its disks are failing?
What can be done about it, if it's a reparable situation?Thanks for the info.
I will look into buying a large external hard drive as an option. But given that I can't seem to back up anyway, is there another option other buying another Time Capsule? Do any of the external hard drives have embedded intelligence that allows them to work off my other router.
This is the log file from my TC's last attempt at backing up:
