As for the 251 disk, what is this?  I assume it's the wrong kind of memory?  Thanks, Jo Ann

  • Start up disk full error message

    I just started getting an error message that states that the "start up disk has not more space available for application memory". So how can I fix this myself?

    Btw my HD specs say my capacity is 999.86 GB, my available is 869.24 GB. I checked and my daily, weekly, monthly scripts all appear to be running properly. Is there something else I should look at to fix this problem?

  • Upon start up I get a start up disk full message and to delete files, now I only get a a blue screen on start up. How to I get past the blue screen and how do I delete files?

    Upon start up I get a "start up disk full message, delete files". Now on startup I only get a blue screen. How do I get past the blue screen and how do I delete files.

    That;s really not enough free space... you can use a tools such as OmniDiskSweeper to find out where your large files reside and begin pruning (or copying to an external if they're files that you want to keep).
    One thing is certain - if you're going to continue your current usage you're certainly going to need to install a larger boot drive.

  • Start Up Disk Full Error

    I continue to get a "Start up disk full" message when I try to use iPhoto or iMovie. It then tells me to delete items, but it does not tell me how to do this.
    Can some one walk me through it?
    Thanks

    Mark,
    Evidently, you have filled your hard drive completely. You must get rid of some files. Make some determination as to what you can safely delete, then begin placing files in your trash, and emptying it.
    You mention iMovie. DV footage, imported into iMovie, requires about 20 GBs of disk space per hour of footage. This could be the biggest consumer of your disk space. Placing an iMovie project file in the trash, then emptying it, might go a long way toward freeing up some space for you.
    If you can't find anything that can be safely deleted, you're going to have to purchase an external hard drive, copy some file to it, then delete them from your internal hard drive. In fact, I recommend you purchase an external drive regardless. You can use it to make backups of your important data, as well as using it to free up disk space.

  • Disk full error message?

    stuff, this site has issues.
    Okay, what I need to know is why I am getting a "disk full" error message when I try to save photos. This has only started to happen and my disk drives have plenty of space left on them.

    Thanks, but what is the Scratch disk set?

  • Why am I getting a "Disk Full" error message when attempting to export?

    I am trying to export my movie at large quality or higher and every time it gives me a "disk full" error. However, I was able to successfully export it at medium quality. I don't understand why I would be getting that error though because both my internal hard drive and external drive, which I am exporting from (but onto the internal), have ample amount of space to accommodate for a large or HD quality video. Any help would be much appreciated!

    How much space do you have?

  • "startup disk full" error message

    So, I get this error message saying "your startup disk is full: you need to make disk space available by deleting files" (or something along those lines). I went through my files, saved about 10 gigs of stuff to my external HD, then deleted it from my mac HD.
    I keep getting this message, even after clearing up several gigs of space. When I boot up my computer, I have about 448mb of space on my HD, but it seems to disappear within a few minutes, even without any activity on my part.
    Thanks.

    A Unix-based OS such as OS X requires hard drive space for log and cache files; this can take anywhere from 64MB to 2GB depending on how much RAM you have, how long since the cron maintenance tasks last ran, whether anyting is causing large write operations to the various logs, and so on. As a rule of thumb, you don't want an OS X Mac to drop below about 5GB free space, minimum; a oft-cited ballpark of keeping 10 to 15% of the hard drive free allows for user-created data and allows some safety margin.
    If a Unix computer fully runs out of space, the computer can fail to start normally. You'd then face starting in single-user mode (hold the command and s keys down at startup), which puts you in a Unix command line interface. It's possible to use Unix commands to navigate around and search for unnecessary files to delete, but doing so if definitely non-trivial.
    While written for Tiger, Francine: A Miscellany of Mystifying Tiger Problems has some useful tips you can try.
    If you moved several GB to the Trash and tried to empty the Trash while the Mac's hard drive was nearly full, that effort may have unintentionally corrupted the disk directory. Boot from your OS X Install disc to launch Disk Utility from the Installer menu, and run Repair Disk on the hard drive (see Using Disk Utility and fsck). If repairs are reported, repeat Repair Disk until no problems are found. If DU is unable to repair the drive, DiskWarrior can often make directory repairs that DU cannot.

  • "Disk Full" error message on Muvo TX FM 512, connected to Wi

    The Muvo TX FM 52 connects fine to my Windows 2000 laptop, and my windows XP desktop, but when transferring files (drag and drop) I get an error message stating that the disk is full. Windows explorer and Checkdisk both report over 00 MB available. Not sure what to make of the problem, and am open to suggestions.

    - No, it doesn't appear. But, I don't physically have the player....it's with my daughter who li'ves in another town. According to her, it did not show up in My Computer. In fact, when she put the player into her USB port on the laptop, it didn't say "found hardware" or any message, which it usually does.
    I know her laptop has Windows XP sp2, she has Windows Media Player 0, but not Creative Media Source, since we did not install the CD that came with the player onto her laptop. I didn't think it needed any drivers since it's XP. Isn't that correct? Or is that the problem?
    2 - My other problem lies with the new MuVo TX FMG player I received yesterday. My PC has Windows XP Pro, no service packs. How come when I transferred music to it, nothing happened,shows "no music" when I turned it on. I saw all the files transferring. Yet when I go to explore the dri've on the PC, the music is all folders, like 50 of them? The music is there but doesn't show up on the player.
    I used WMP to transfer the music, using drag and drop. I wound up deleting everything and transferred the same music using Creative Media Source and that works fine. I am very confused with both players. Thank goodness all I do is build and repair PCs!!! MP3 stuff is over my head I think!
    Sorry, this post really should have been in two questions.

  • Startup Disk full error message but free space shows 87GB

    Hi I have looked through these forums as much as I could but can't find the answer to this. I was working in photoshop CS6 and received the message that my startup disk was almost full. I had just cleared files the day previous and had 87GB of free space. So I restarted after emptying trash etc and tried to get back into photoshop but had the same message, checked my free space and it said 2gb. So I began my search here and saw the issue with .OfflineCache in mail but was never able to locate that file on my computer and after trying several things and failing I checked the info on my Mac hd drive again and it was back to 87gb yet message still coming.  I have 8 Gigs of Ram, a 321 Gb hard Drive and running a Mackbook pro 13" with Mac osx Lion 10.7.5. Mid 2010.
    Please Help!!

    Hi,
    I would try using GrandPerspective (http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net) to try find out where all the space is being taken up.

  • IMac G5 20" - Startup Disk Full Error Messages

    Hi,
    I wonder if you can advise or help me please,?
    I purchased my first Apple computer in December of last year (2005), a 20” iMac G5 with iSight Camera built in. I also had an extra 1 GB Ram added at the same time.
    This is my first experience with Apple computers, having previously only used either MS-DOS or various versions of Microsoft Windows. The last 6 weeks have been a dream, and I have had no problems whatsoever, until now that is.
    My hard drive as supplied is a 250 GB one, and apart from the operating system and applications supplied with the computer, (OS X Tiger 10.4, + Appleworks and iLife 5 etc.) I have installed the following major software: Microsoft Word 2004, Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium (comprises Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat Professional, In Design and GoLive) as well as Intego VirusBarrier, Intego Net Barrier, and Intego Backup.
    This has left me with approximately 170 GB on my hard disk.
    I imported some 30 audio book CD’s into my iTunes collection over the past weekend, which I imported, in AAC format at a bitrate of 40 kbps, (which is all that is required for spoken word audio) which takes up a total of around 630MB in size. When I went to close iTunes I received a system warning stating that my ‘Start-up’ disk was nearly full and that I need to remove some files. I was very surprised to see this, because I knew I should have around 170 GB left - give or take a gigabyte.
    I closed the system down completely, and left it for about an hour and then rebooted. Instead of the normal nice quiet start-up I normally experience with the iMac, it ‘roared’ like a jet engine!
    I can only surmise it was the systems fans going into overdrive, but it was very alarming. It took about ten minutes to settle, and then went back to its normal quiet self. But when I checked the amount of disk space it said I had about 100 MB (MB not GB) free, and then after a few minutes this number climbed rapidly until it reported I had my expected 170 GB free.
    So I though that was the end of it, but when I ran the system again this evening although it started up just fine this time, and had the 170 GB free, after I had left it for a couple of hours it then reported that my Start-up disk was nearly full again!
    I then went though the same procedure and series of events I have just outlined above except that the system did not ‘roar’ as it did the first time.
    All system files have been kept up to date with the use of Autoupdate, and were last checked four days ago, and my version of OS X is 10.4.4
    As I am at a loss to explain what is happening, and as I am not knowledgeable on the Mac OS X operating system, I thought you might be able to advise me. I apologise if this is not the correct forum, but I thought it was the most appropriate one.
    Thanks and Kind Regards

    Hi Dr Smoke!
    Many many thanks for your swift reply, it is really appreciated.
    I looked at the Console utility you suggested via your link instructions (very helpful) and found in the System.log that there were indeed whole swaths of repeating messages relating to Adobe Acrobat 7 stating:
    ".../Users/andrew/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional.app/Contents/MacOS/Acrobat: Invalid color: colored pattern specified with uncolored pattern colorspace...."
    With regards to Adobe Creative Suite, although I paid the upgrade price from Adobe CS1 to CS2, it is in fact the full package and not an upgrade software package because my previous version (CS1) and earlier versions of Photoshop etc were all on the Windows platform. Because of this I had to go through nearly a month of faxes, emails and submissions of 'Letters of Destruction' before Adobe would allow me to move platforms, and send me a full version of CS2 for OS X.
    During installation last Friday night, I went through all the on-line ‘updates’ it suggested and therefore thought it was all up to date.
    I therefore opened Acrobat 7 to check its version and found that it was v 7.0 so using the ‘check for updates’ menu link I have updated it to v 7.05.
    Hopefully, that should now put an end to the problem.
    I have also downloaded demos of the two programs you provided links to, and will monitor the situation as you suggested.
    I have marked this post as having been answered, but should I have any further occurrences of this problem, I will return another post.
    Thanks again for your help and links

  • Why am I getting the 'not enough disk cache space' message?

    Hi,
    I've got about 4GB free space on my HDD and the disk cache allocation set to 1GB in AE CS6's preferences but I keep getting this message? Why?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Cheers.

    Because 4 GB is barely enough to make your operating system happy. Sorry, but that's loco. You need a lot more disk space or go without the disk cache for the time being.

  • Why do I get a "Server responded with an error" message?

    I recently changed my MobileMe password, that has been syncing correctly for the past few days. Today, I suddenly got a "The server responded with an error" message saying that the server did not recognize my user name or password for my account. However, iCal seems to be syncing all right. Is this is a bug or something I'm missing?
    Thank you for your help!

    Greetings,
    Are you using the MobileMe Calendar Beta?
    Go into iCal > Preferences > Accounts and delete the MobileMe account from here.
    If you are using it you can then re-add it and be careful to enter in the correct name and password.
    If the message keeps happening:
    First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
    Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    __NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.

  • Disk full error message! But disk is not full!!!

    I kept having this message "The disk is full trying to write to Macintosh HD. Free some space on this drive, ..."  while working on Microsoft Word for Apple. But I have check on my Macintosh HD and there is still plenty of available space. What is wrong???

    I'm getting the same error. I tried to purchase a movie and iTunes told me I didn't have enough store credits, even though I was attempting to use my credit card. I finally was able to click the 'buy now'; but now it won't download the movies, giving me the same error and a message window which states:
    There was a problem downloading "x movie".
    The disk you are attempting to use is full.
