When I delete many movies, why is my hard drive not showing more space?

I have deleted many many movies, but my hard drive does not register any more space available. I delete my movies from Vuze, using the "delete from computer" button. Shouldn't that trash all copies? I am thinking there must be another copy somewhere for my available space to not change.
I would appreciate any help on this.
thank you all,
Sandy

Hi. Have you emptied the trash? Bottom right side of the dock.

  • Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

    Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

    So could I take everything off my external hard drive, save it to my Mac, then re-format it for my Mac and move everything back to the external hard drive?
    Yes. Keep in mind that you need to back up all data, including the data on an external drive. So if you're going to use the external drive to store original data, as opposed to backups, then you really need another one to back up the first one. You also need to back up the data on your internal drive, of course. This isn't optional. You must do it, or you'll lose everything sooner or later. All disk drives fail eventually, often with no warning.
    If I do that how do I format the external hard drive for my Mac?
    Launch the Disk Utility application and search the built-in help for "erase."
    Would it be easier to just buy a external hard drive that is for a Mac?
    All external hard drives work with Macs. Some might come pre-formatted for use with Macs, but it only takes a few minutes to do that yourself.

  • Why is my External Hard Drive not showing in Aperture 3.6 Import?

    Why is my External Hard Drive not showing in Aperture 3.6 Import?
    Only my computer hard drive is and I want to import from an external drive.  I have always been able to until I updated to Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite.

    Only my computer hard drive is and I want to import from an external drive.  I have always been able to until I updated to Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite.
    I had the same problem. On the folders on the drive with the Aperture library did show in the Import panel. After I clicked the computer icon in the upper left corner of the Import panel, suddenly all drives appeared.
    You can also try to drag the folder you want to import into the Import panel, to point the file chooser to the drive.

  • How do i move itunes to external hard drive to free up space on my imac

    I keep running out of space on my imac (320mb)
    I have my movies on a Lacie hard drive.
    How do I put itunes on the hard drive?
    Thanks

    iTunes has many components.  The two main ones are the application itself (which is what ones means when ones says "iTunes") and the library which is a set of files and folders.  I take it you want to move the iTunes library (you cannot run iTunes the application off a non-boot drive).
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
    My one hesitation regarding the above is it sounds like you already have some things on the external drive and you have not shared with us the details of your setup.  You have already modified itunes from its standard behavior and this can sometimes introduce problems.

  • Why is my hard drive running out of space?

    I have noticed lately that I've been losing hard drive space quite rapidly. I had downloaded a Windows VMWare box from Modern.ie and set up in Parallels for IE testing, and once that was finished I deleted the original 6 GB file. I had checked the space before and after I deleted it, I actually lost hard drive space.
    This has happened multiple times, and I read it might be a paging issue so I should reboot. Did that, still lost hard drive space.
    Any ideas?

    Ah, so I ran that and came back with the following. The two bolded items were part of my VM machines.

  • After creating a new login (bought computer used) and deleting the old one the 500gb hard drive only shows up as 320gb.

    So I've just purchased a mid 2011 Macbook Pro 13" used via eBay. Was advertised as having 500gb hard drive and 6gb ram. I checked the ram and it was all legit, checked the hd capacity and it was all correct as well. So I made a new login for myself and deleted the previous owner's. Now my hard drive shows up as 320gb. Even in disk utility and terminal.

    One more place to look is SYSTEM PROFILER>HARDWARE>SERIAL-ATA.  If it says 320, you have a 320GB HDD which I suspect it probably will.  They are easy to replace.
    Ciao.

  • Why does the external drive not show up on the desktop.

    My wife has a G5 (iSight). When we turn on the external drive it does not mount. We have tried restarting the iMac with the external drive on and it still does not show up. What is the problem and what is the fix?
    Thanks

    Is it by chance a WD MyBook? They are known for problems like that. Could be the cable -- try a different one. Or it could be the Firewire port on the computer. Try a different port on the computer or on the external, if it has one. Have a look at this Apple article with other troubleshooting steps.

  • Why does my main drive not show in devices/finder

    Mybe I am trying to do something that I don't actually need to do,,,,
    when I watch tutorials they mention that your local drive is seen in devices which is found in finder, the only time that the devices 'folder' shows is if I insert an SD card, I then see Devices and the name of the SD card inserted.
    I just want to create my own folders on the main Drive/Storage other than the standard pictures,videos,applications etc
    can any one help me out??

    I have been messing with this for a few hours, posted my question and instantly resolved it with a link on the right reffering to the same issue,,,
    Now resolved
    Thanks

  • When/how do you move files off of Hard Drive to make new room.

    Maybe this is simple; I understand so far that you can choose the Library folder for iTunes and that that is the source of all songs, album cover art, everything that iTunes needs to display all the information for tunes. Please correct me if I am wrong on that.
    When the directory fills up to the point that it is taking over your startup drive, then the iTunes library folder can be moved to an external backup drive and iTunes can start up fresh, empty, and ready to receive new songs. Also, Please correct me if that is not correct.
    How many songs do you contain in iTunes before you consider it is too unwieldy and time to start fresh?
    I've never done this before, new first-time iPod user here, and would like some pointers on how to handle this.
    Thanks In Advance,
    Ken

    You can move it but you do not need to "start fresh".
    Just move the folder to the external drive and use it for everything.
    No need to use the internal drive.
    1 Quit iTunes.
    2 Move the entire iTunes folder including music to the external drive.
    3 Restart iTunes holding (Shift-Windows, Option-Mac).
    4 Select Choose library. Select the library in the folder you just moved.
    5 Move the old iTunes folder to the trash but do not empty it.
    6 Restart iTunes normally and verify the songs work. If they do, empty the trash.
    How many songs do you contain in iTunes before you consider it is too unwieldy and time to start fresh?
    Over 100,000 songs and it will start to slow down.

  • Why does my Hard Drive run out of Space?

    So, my Mac's HDD keeps running out of space. Here's the Specs
    OS X Lion (10.7.5)
    2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB Memory (2x 4GB PC3-8500)
    60GB HDD
    Okay, so i know its a 60GB HDD, but this thing is used for only internet surfing and General OS functions. 28GB of the 60GB is used via installed OS X, Apps, and Music. 32GB is available on start-up, but the HDD hit 0MB available after a while and the Mac's Virtual Memory caps out and I must force quit an application to continue, but Google Chrome is the only App open other than finder.
    I am Computer Savy, but UNIX systems aren't my strong points. I don't know why this OS needs 32GB of VM nor why it doesn't pre-allocate it like Windows does. Is there away to Pre-Allocate Pagefile and restrict it to 12GB? I hate having to restart my computer in the middle of a task just to use it. Thank You in Advance.

  • Why is my hard drive not performing at the maximum Sata II speed?  MBP mid-2010 (macbook pro 7,1)

  • Why is my hard drive not working?

    My hard drive stopped working suddenly. I was burning a disc and it only burned 1 image and quit. I tried putting a new disc in and it tried reading it and spit it out. It was a brand new blank DVD.

    Have you done any troubleshooting such as restarting the computer and if so what were the results.

  • Why is my usb hard drive not showing up in airport utillity 6 ?

    Hey!
    So I have just thought about filling the last plug in my airport express. I formated my HD to fat32 (I thought it'd work) and plugged it into my airport. Then I opened the utillity and...no "Disk" option. ....err, what?
    What do I REALLY need to do, to share a HD with my Airport express?
    Regards, Ingwie.

    Unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do, since the AirPort Express will not support a hard drive at the USB port.....It will only support printing at the USB port.
