Why am I getting message working in Word that says the disc is full trying to write to Macintosh HD when I have hundreds of GB available?
I am getting frequent messasges saying "the disk is full trying to write to Macintosk HD. Free some space on this drive or dave the document on another disk, etc. I have at least 300GB of unused space on Macintosh HD. This is followed by another message that Word is unable to save the AutoRecover file in the location you have specifed. and to check prefernces. I am saving to my desktop.
Thank you! It was a small war to find out even how to post a question, so I guess in the moment I overlooked the fact that I posted to the wrong forum . But the problem have been solved by a friend who experienced the same problem. It seemed that there was one Microsoft Equation (out of the many in the document) that was malfunctioning. So by deleeting excactly the right equation, the problem was solved.
Hope that helps someone later on.
Best regards
Jules

My word gives a message of "The disk is full trying to write to Macintosh HD. Free some space on this drive, or save the document on another disk."
what do I do to stop the message from popping up all the time? I have only had my mac for 7 months and haven't saved a ton of stuff.Kathryn,
Is MS Word the only app that is causing this issue, if so then it's probably a problem with Word. If I'm correct about it only occuring with Word then please re-post to:

When you do please let them know the version of Office installed on your computer, it will be either Office 2004, 2008 or 2011! -
How do I resolve an error message that says. "The disk is full trying to write to Macintosh HD"
My MacBook Pro came up with an error message while I was working on a word document that said" the dick is full trying to write to the Macintosh HD". I don't know how that could be bc when I check the preferences it says I have 35 gb available
How large is your hard drive?

I hope that's a typo! -
When I try to save or email a document, I get a message that "the disc is full trying to write to MAC HD. free some space on this drive, or save the document to another disc." I can't figure out how to save to another disc. And, when I check the available memory, my computer has 1 GB of available memory. I closed all programs and deleted the "trash" items. Any suggestions? Thanks
Disk space and memory are two different things.
This is system memory (RAM):
This is disk space:
If your startup disk is full there will be very little green in the above pie chart. You need to erase items from your startup volume for OS X to have space to work.
OS X Lion: Remove files and folders from your computer
Mountain Lion is the same.
Don't neglect to look for potentially deleted email messages, iPhoto items or iMovie clips that may have been moved to their own Trash. These must be "emptied" separately. -
I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.
I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!! -
When I try to uninstall apple updater I get a message that says " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." I dont understand this. How can I finish uninstalling the apple update program?
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

when sending to another machine from my own, the other machine instantly denied the request
when the other machine tried sending to me, it failed with a warning "apple id certificate is invalid"
after calling apple:
go to the apple>preferences>iCloud
log out
log in

I need help. My ipad 2 was stuck in recovery mode. i tried to connect it to itunes and restore but after downloading the file and extracting the software there is a pop up message that says "the device is full. Deleting files and emptying your recycle been will help you restore." how am i going to erase files if i can't open my ipad. i dont know what to do. Its been 2 days now. please help. thanks.
yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

I've received a message on my iPad that says "The provisioning profile Enterprise Open ID will expire in 3 days" and I have no idea what that means. The screen opens up to the General, Profile screen then has a place that would allow me to "Remove" this but I have no idea what this means. Can anyone help?
I have the same message, and NO, an IT Department has not installed software on this device. This is my personal iPad.

You're not alone. I'm having exactly the same problem. I am running Windows XP version 2002 and cannot uninstall Itunes or update. This problem is affecting my ability to sync music and also with playback. The support for PC users is severely lacking. I'm also getting error messages that says an older version of Bonjour cannot be uninstalled. Help!
