When i try to download a file i get the message not enough free disk space

what could be wrong when i get this message" not enough free disk space"? could it be the hard drive? p.s. my computer won't boot up except in recovery mode

Yes. The disk drive has too much data on it. You are either going to have to move some to other disk drives or delete some.

  • Update download trouble: App Store says, in error, "-not enough free disk space"

    I wonder if anyone can help me troubleshoot this... I am unable to download some updates as from the App Store, and instead get an error message that suggests I don't have enough free disk space despite there being over 100GB free.
    More detail: after installing Mavericks successfully, I started updating a few applications. While downloading iMovie and iPhoto there was an error - can't recall what the pop-up said, but I think it was a fairly general kind of error message. When I then tried to download them again, the App Store gave me an error message about free disk space, so I deleted a bunch of files and tried again. Same result, same error message ("Your hard disk does not have enough free space"). I checked on free space, however, and at this point I had over 100GB of free space.
    I tried deleting the com.apple.storeagent folder in my Library/Caches folder, then trying again. but it made no difference. I've restarted, repaired permissions, verified the disk, restarted again, and I'm still seeing the error.
    One odd feature of this problem: in the App Store purchases tab (see screengrab below), the icons for both iMovie and iPhoto are missing/broken, which might just point the way to what is going wrong.
    System details:
    IMac 27", 2009
    2.8GHz i7
    12GB RAM
    Running OS X 10.9
    Couple of screengrabs to illustrate:

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Time Machine
    If the padlock icon is closed, click it to unlock the settings and authenticate. Turn Time Machine OFF, then turn it backON and close the preference pane. Wait a few minutes, then try the operation again.

  • HT204266 When I try to download an app I get the message, your Apple ID has been disabled

    I just acitvated my iPhone 4 and tried to download an app.  I get the message Your Apple ID has been disabled.

    If your account works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the iPhone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
    Otherwise, depending on why it's been disabled, you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I have upgraded to 4.0, but when I try to download a Persona, I get the message: ' This Persona requires Firefox 3.6. You are currently using Firefox 3.5.6'.

    This has happened with all my attempts, but I've checked, and I definitely have version 4.0 installed! Very frustrating.

    Hi I have downloaded Acrobat XI Pro and when I try to convert pdf file to word the message says 'error can't sign in'?
    Irenedix

    Hi Irenedix,
    If you are using Acrobat you can try the suggestions mentioned above.
    Are you using the Create PDF service from within Reader to create pdf?
    If yes then please check if you are able to login to: https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf  with your Adobe ID and able to convert the document to pdf.
    If yes then within Reader you can try the following:
    Choose Edit > Preferences (Win)
    Click 'Online Services' or 'Adobe Online Services' on the left-hand side
    Sign out of your Adobe ID and sign back in.
    Regards,

    When I try and download an app, I get a message "MZCommerce.CreditBalanceMismatch.Mobile_message". This is even for free apps, and I do have plenty of credit. Can anyone help please?

    With a standard account you need a valid payment method even for free apps.
    From the message it sound like there is something wrong with your account or some of the information you entered in the account is not correct.. Verify that the information is correct and then if still problem contact iTunes.

  • After a trip to Brazil, the App Store apparently thinks my iPad 2 is still there. When I try to download an app, I get a message that I can't get that app from the Brazilian store and have to switch to the U.S. store. The general settings are correct.

When I try to download an app, I get a message that I can't get that app from the Brazilian store and have to switch to the U.S. store. The general settings are correct. I apparently need to switch locations manually, specifically for the App Store. Help?

    Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign back in. The App Store will automatically change to the store from which your account is authorized to make purchases.

    Hey craiglarkin,
    First, I would try following along with the steps in this link:

    If you end up having to remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS, make sure to follow the steps closely, including the order in which you uninstall.

  • When I try to restore my bookmarks I get the message "Unable to process the backup file."

    I lost my bookmarks and when I try to restore them I can see the backup files in the restore window but when I try to restore my bookmarks I get the message "Unable to process the backup file." Can you assist? Thanks

    Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
    Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
    After the above. Restart Firefox. Then try again.
    If you still can't restore one of the files, try another one.
    These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
    These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
    '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
    FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
    Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
    In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
    your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
    It will also make backup of files that you choose.

  • "not enough free disk space" when I try to download Skype or ooVoo

    My downloads were working perfectly fine a few days ago. Then one day I closed my Macbook to sleep and when I opened it all my settings had been reset, my background was gone, everything in iTunes was deleted, and my Skype and ooVoo had been deleted.
    Now when I try to re-download it, it tells me "Not enough free disk space"
    My Hardrive space has about 85GB. Can someone help me troubleshoot?

    Did you try rebooting?

  • Safari could not download the file -there is not enough free disk space

    I've tried downloading Windows Media Viewer, StuffIt Expander, and Adobe Reader however when I do I receive an error message as follows (example is for the StuffIt Expander -similar message for the other programs): Safari could not download the file "nstuffitexp12.01.dmg" because there is not enough free disk space.
    There is PLENTY of free disk space on my hard drive. The hard drive has 20 GB of Used space and 129 GB of Available space.
    A few simple fixes I've tried, that did not help: I cleared my Cache, I emptied my Trash, I restarted the computer. (sorry, I'm a Mac novice -not sure what else to try)
    What's wrong? How do I download these files??
    I would like to open Window Media Viewer files (.wmv) and Adobe Reader files (.pdf) so I need these programs on my computer.
    So as a secondary question, is there a program for Macs better suited to open and view .wmv and .pdf files?
    Please help with my download / free disk space problem, this is driving me crazy (for hours now). Thank you in advance for your assistance!!

    Mac OS X can open pdf files fine without Adobe's bloatware, they open by default in TextEdit - the whole of OS X's display system is actually based around pdf technology so it's easy for the system to integrate pdf tools. There are alternative tools available on MacUpdate but for reading TextEdit is fine.
    wmv files should be opened with the Flip4Mac Quicktime plugin, Microsoft no longer support their own player on Mac and even supply the F4M plugin from their own download pages.
    For Stuffit files (which are thankfully much rarer these days) I'd use The Unarchiver instead of Allume's fat cat.
    To fix the other problem you could try changing your download location in Safari preferences, General - it may be that the location you are downloading to has the problem. You can pick anywhere you like just to test it out.
