What has filled my hard drive?

My 80gig hard drive has only 2gig available space, yet I can only account for about half of this in used space. What's the dealio? How can I find out what files are taking up all the room so I can delete 'em?!

Thanks, that's the exact application I had in mind for the job! I'm surprised it's not a standard app on Mac's OS.
However, after using it and deleting spurious files, I'm still short about 10gig (even after taking OS files and app's into consideration).
It's not so much of a problem now since I've managed to free up a reasonable amount of space, I just find it curious now...
Thanks again. David.

I rented a movie on iTunes and it now has filled my hard drive and I can't get it off. Something is wrong and I need a solution before I try to reinstall the Mac OS to reformat

I rented a movie on iTunes and it now has filled my hard drive and has taken up all my harddrive space.....How can I remove the after math of the rented movie and fix this problem..? Oddly enough it does show the startup drive is not full.

In iTunes select the movie and hit Delete. Follow the prompts and then empty the trash.

DB size has filled up hard drive on E-Business sutie.

Hi,
The db on my developement instance has filled the complete hard drive.
I put all the tablespace to be autoextend to unlimited.
Now i do not have any space left on the device. For temporary i have recreated the temp tablespace which releases some 13 GB.
But again it is going to be filled and again my system will be halt.
Please suggest something. i know the solution is to add the hard drive space but the size of this DEV instance is more than the production.
Can anybody suggest some investigation.
Thanks.

Hi,
Just reminder, If you have not scheduled this, Purge Concurrent Request/manager data. And also please delete unnecessary file from cdump,udump,bdump. And also check if you have any files like Events*, Error* in $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG.

Apple: Give me a way to stop TV downloads on iTunes, or I stop buying shows on my AppleTV. That simple. I'm tired of automatic downloads filling my hard drive every time I open iTunes on my laptop.

I'm tired of automatic downloads filling my hard drive every time I open iTunes on my laptop. Tonight I had to go to iTunes to verify my payment info - even though I'd already done that two days ago - and before I can even access the iTunes Store, iTunes starts downloading 44 TV shows that I've purchased over the last few months on my AppleTV; before I could completely stop it, it had entirely filled up my hard drive - 180 GB. There's NO reason there isn't a way to stop auto-downloads of TV shows - every other type of media has the ability to stop auto-downloads, and given that I have an AppleTV (for now!), why in pasta's name would I want to load them onto my laptop?!

We are all itunes users just like you.

How do I find what's using my hard drive space

My wife has a 14" iBook. How do I find what's using all the hard-drive space? It only has a 40GB hard-drive (it's one of the older G3 models) but there isn't a lot loaded onto the HD. There is only 3GB space left. I've gone through every application and utility and document and every folder (document, movie, etc.) and the largest space-hogging folder is iTunes which uses 15GB because of the music. I can't find any singular folder that uses any sizeable HD space. I recently loaded Tiger so I don't know if Tiger uses the rest of the space or if it's just a combo of all the other applications.

You could download and use WhatSize to see what may be eating up the space.
With a 40 GB hard drive, you need to keep at least 6 GB free in order to avoid problems.

What's the best Hard Drive for TM? USB or FIrewire?

Same experience here! They keep the price about the same but you get double the storage, so the price of storage has been going down big time! But now I find myself ******* after Drobo Hey, that editor whacked me for "l u s t i n g" that isn't foul language is it?

You posted this same question 24 hours ago, which has a reply. Did you have questions on that answer or did you want further discussion? You could reply to that thread, there's no need to start a new thread.

What is the max hard drive for a late 2006 xserve?

Hi Kappy,
That's not quite true. I don't think anyone has managed to get a 3TB drive working as 3TB on an Xserve yet.. Here is the official compatibility matrix from Apple http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1219
2TB seems to be the limit. Some people have had success with non Apple drives but it's very hit and miss..
All the best

FYI: MS-7125 BIOS has problem with Hard Drives withNative Command Queuing (NCQ)

For those the have messed my two treads on which both ended up being cause by K8N Neo4 BIOS problem with HD's with NCQ.
Will wonders never cease? MSI Support finally conceded the BIOS has a problem with Hard Drives with NCQ and they have forwarded the problem to their programming department.
However, do not look for any results for above two weeks.

The problem that this thread has been trying to follow is the incapability of the nVidia RAID Controller with Serial ATA Type 2.5 drives. I know the threads has been hard to follow and part of that is because when I started the thread I had what appeared to be three totally un related problems, but all three were traced down the common problem of the incapability of RAID Controller with Serial ATA Type 2.5 drives.
The title of this thread is MS-7125 BIOS has problem with Hard Drives with Native Command Queuing(NCQ). The statement was true at the time it was written and has nothing to do with memory problems.
Sense the thread was started MSI has fixed the BIOS part of the problem, but we have sense learned the nVidia RAID Controller Command software and its driver has problems too. I have been working MSI Support, they have been using me to test pre-beta BIOS and Drivers soon. Of the testing I have done the pre-beta BIOS worked and the Pre-beta 32-bit driver works. I am assuming that the latest BIOS V1.B had as part of it included fixes was the needed fixes for working with the nVidia RAID Controller as I have test the pre-beta RAID Driver with BIOS Version V1.B as the Raid array function fine windows XP Pro 32-bit Edition. As I have had no communications with MSI support of over a week now I am hoping for a release of 32-bit and 64-bit RAID Drivers. But, nobody should get the hopes up, because through other backdoor sources nVidia is having a hell of a time. One reason for this I heard is that the nVidia RAID Controller is fully software, no hardware other than the electrical drive interfaces. Their problem started when they tried using the old 32-bit code Controller with new 64-bit hardware drivers and now they are having to totally rewrite the controller core in 64-bit code. But, knowing my source, it may all be fiction.
The RAID Array you say is up and running, are the drives full specification SATA 2.5 in other words do the both have 3Gb/s speed and NCQ. If you send me the full part numbers I will check the specifications a get back to you. Because if you have nVidia RAID 0 Array you working you will be the first to have done it and there about 230 people around the world that would like to know how you did it, even MSI, who's pre-beta nVidia RAID Drivers that will work with BIOS V1.B for 32-bit Windows only and nothing for Windows XP 64, would like to know.

I set up Firefox sync from my old computer. This has had its hard drive replaced and been sold. I now want to retrieve the information and got my bookmarks on my new computer. I can't see any way to do this!

Help please

To build on the second option provided by The Edmeister make sure that you have your Sync Key, if this is not the case Firefox Sync will not help you (data is encrypted with that Key).
Finally, if the last sync happened long time ago, it may be the case that your data is not on the servers anymore. Firefox Syn wasn't designed as a back up service.

Yesterday, I tried a SEAGATE SSHD but my screen was always a showing a QUESTION MARK (?). It's not the cable because when I put back the old original version, everything works...Any sugestion of brabnding or procédure to upgrade my hard drive?

The largest 2.5" dia SATA drives available are 2 TB in capacity.
Have you tried the Seagate SSHD connected externally to the MBP via USB? The drive itself may be faulty.
Ciao.

No need to type in all caps - we HEAR you!
I would take a look at the internal drives offered by both Crucial (click the link "Internal Hard Drives Now Available") and OWC. I would stay away from Western Digital drives as they seem to have problems on a number of Mac models.
You can also shop for RAM at Crucial and OWC - just select the System Scanner tab at the Crucial website to find out which memory is right for your machine.
Good luck,

I don't recommend you to install a hard drive bigger than 2 TB if you are going to install Windows in Boot Camp or you may have problems
The largest 2.5" SATA HDDs of 9.5 mm thickness that I am aware of are 1 TB in capacity. There is a 12.5 mm thick HDD that will fit some MBPs. But I have not seen any of larger capacity.
Are there now 2 TB HDDs available for MBPs? If so, I am interested.
Ciao.
Both OWC and Crucial have SSDs of about 1 TB capacity.

Time Machine does not provide archival storage.
If you delete a file from your disk it will eventually be deleted from your TM backup without any notice to you.
You need a second external disk to use for archival storage.
You also need a third disk for backups of the second disk.

You want system, data, backup etc. Make good use of the four internal drive bays.
You will have to use Disk Utility to ERASE or click on drive and use PARTITION to make it Mac writeable.

What has filled my hard drive?
