  • System memory vs disk usage -- why is my hard drive almost full if my system memory is half empty?

    I have a white Macbook, 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of memory, Mac OS X, version 10.5.8, purchased in 2008. My Mac keeps warning me that my startup disk is almost full, and indeed Activity Monitor shows that my disk usage has minimal free space (2.31 GB). However, the System Memory tab shows that half my space is free.
    Does the discrepancy mean that there is lots of space left on my Mac? If not, how can I identify if some sort of error is filling up my memory? Right now, I have a lot of music and documents stored on my laptop, but nothing else, and I would like to be sure it's those two things that are filling up the space.
    What is the recommended method for adding more memory to my Mac, if nothing else?

    There are two different types of memory in your Mac. There is system memory, more commonly referred to as RAM, and there is disk space. RAM is where the Mac works on data. Disk space is where data is stored for long term storage.
    You are in serious danger of causing your Mac to die completely by running it with so little free space on your system drive. It is imperative that you start either deleting or move data off the disk drive. You should have 8 to 10 time as much free space at least at all times for OS X to run will.
    A tool that can  with cleaning up your disk drive is OmniDiskSweeper. It will tell you the files and fol,der that are using the most space. That will give you good candidates for deletion or movement.

  • HP Pavilion 15t-n200 (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit) -- Recovery Drive Almost Full

    Hello, Everyone:
    I just set up my new HP Pavilion 15t-n200 laptop (product number E9Z18AV) yesterday.  Other than installing software for my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium printer and a free PDF Creator, I added no other software to the laptop. To my big surprise, the D drive (recovery drive) shows that I have used 22.5 GB, leaving only 2.4 GB free!
    FYI, the specs for my laptop are:
    Intel Core i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz
    12 GB system memory
    1T hard drive (of which 856 GB is free)
    I would appreciate any advice or guidance from forum members to resolve this issue.
    Thank you.

    That is how it is shipped. The D: drive is static. It is only used for making restore disks or restoring the system so there is no need to leave free space. The drive that is dynamic (i.e. stuff is being added) is the C:\ drive. You should have lots of space there. 

  • Why is my hard drive constantly running and how do I stop it?

    My hard drive is running constantly and I can't find out why.  I thought my hard drive might be at capacity so I threw away and backed up a lot of stuff, but it is still running all the time.
    On a PC I know how to find what is actually running behind the scenes and how to stop them, but I don't know how to find those same programs on a mac.  Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

    On a PC I know how to find what is actually running behind the scenes and how to stop them, but I don't know how to find those same programs on a mac.
    Open Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.
    With that, all processes can be seen, all CPU, memory and drive use can be monitored and any and all processes can be monitored, sampled, halted, etc.
    My hard drive is running constantly and I can't find out why.
    A new drive will have indexing running continually until the indexing is done.
    mdworker is one of the indexing processes.

  • E & recovery drive is full!

    Just bought a brand new HP Pavilion dv6t-6c00 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC. I am receiving notices that my recovery drive is full and so is my E drive *HP tools*   How do I clean these off? The computer will not let me run a backup. 

    Hi,
    You will need to stop whatever is storing or backing-up data to these partitions - although for Vista, the document on the link below should help - as it suggests, make sure that 'Restore Points' are not being created for these partitions and also that Windows Back-up is not accessing them.

  • My MacBook Pro hard drive is almost full and I wish to store my Aperture Library on an external drive, how do I do this and is the use of USB2 suitable or do I need to use a Firewire external hard drive?

    My MacBook Pro hard drive is almost full and I wish to store my Aperture Library on an external drive, how do I do this and is the use of USB2 suitable or do I need to use a Firewire external hard drive?

    You'll get better performance if you use a Firewire hard drive (especially if you buy a 7200 RPM drive). Firewire's IO speed is significantly faster than USB 2.  USB 2 has a theoretical max speed of 480 Mbps except that it has extremely high over-head.   The fastest speeds you can typically get are about 300 Mbps.   Firewire, on the other hand, has very little overhead.  The fastest speeds you can get are very nearly 800 Mbps.  You will typically be constrained by the maximum read/write speed of the drive, not the speed of the I/O on the Firewire bus.  Now if you had one of those nice shiny new Macs with the Thunderbolt I/O and a Thunderbolt drive (Light Peak) ... I think they alter space and time so that your data arrives before you know you want it. 
    Also... unless you want to buy a solid state drive (very expensive), try to keep your hard drives from becoming much more than about 60% full if you want great performance.  A nearly "full" hard drive is, on average, only about half as fast as the same hard drive when nearly empty.
    USB 2 will work perfectly fine... just not as fast.
    Also... it's much safer to move the entire Aperture library than to "relocate masters".  Your images must be managed.  You can Aperture manage them, or you can manage them.  But someone has to manage them.  If you "relocate" them so that they are no longer stored inside the Aperture library then you'll need to work out a system of how you decide to organize things and it's critically important that you don't start moving files around or deleting things without Aperture's knowledge.  If you do, you'll break the links to your masters and start having problems with missing masters.  If you have Aperture manage the library then you don't need to worry about any of that stuff.... it's safer.
    Do make backups (use the Aperture Vault or use some other backup program, but make sure you back up your work if you care about it.)  There are only two kinds of hard drives in the world:  (1) those that have failed and (2) those that are going to fail.  There are no exceptions to this rule.  Hard drives are cheap.  Backup software is built into Aperture and into your Mac.

    To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
    Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
    Ciao.

  • Startup Drive Almost Full!!  Help Please

    Hi everyone, I have a 1.25mhz, 1.25gig MDD (w/FW400)and today I got an alert message that said "Startup Drive almost full"....The computer has the stock 80gig harddrive, and I'm guessing that all of those RAW photos have just filled up the drive.
    I was thinking of getting a 160 or 200 gig internal harddrive, and then using the 80 gig drive specifically for music and photos. My question is how do I move all of the info from my current hard drive onto the new drive. I also have a 300 gig external firewire harddrive that I can use to help with the transfer.
    I'm pretty sure that I will be able to physically install the new drive.
    Thanks,

    Basically you need to clone your existing drive to the new drive. This is very easy to do with programs such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. I use CCC all the time and it works fine for me, but I have heard that SD makes it even easier. Once the old drive has been cloned to the new, you can select it as the startup disk and begin booting from it.
    After you are comfortable that all is well, feel free to format the 80GB disk and use it for other things.

    My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!

  • Why is my iCloud storage almost full?

    Ok now I have seen many questions like this on here before, but none of the answers or even the actual questions fit what my exact problem is.
    On my iPhone and iPad, I constantly keep getting these notifications about how my iCloud storage is almost full and there is not enough room to back up my iOS device. When this notification pops up, it has the options to 'Cancel' or go to 'Settings'. Clicking setting brings me to the iCloud tab in the Settings app. Now in this, I go to 'Storage and Backup'. It shows I own 5.0 GB of storage, and about 50 something MB available. So naturally, I click 'Manage Storage' to maybe delete some data being backed up from apps that I dont often use or that contain to much data that I dont want backed up. I go to the iPhone backup tab, and I have every single app turned off to backup, but yet, it says my next backup size is 5.0 GB. I do not understand how this is even possible.
    Also, under the iCloud tab that I clicked first, I have 'Mail', 'Contacts', 'Calendars', 'Safari', 'Notes', 'Photos', and 'Find My iPhone' all turned ON. 'Reminders', 'Passbook', and 'Documents & Data" are all OFF.
    I understand most of the problem is the Photos and videos on everyone's iPhones. I regularly upload all photos and videos to my iMac, and also delete that I dont need or are not important from my iPhone often. I currently have about 2 dozen pictures on my iPhone, and no videos.
    Maybe I am missing something, or forgot a step, but bottom line is I do not know exactly how to solve this problem. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You.

    Hi LongLiveRock,
    You have indicated that you have turned off all of the Apps backup, but you have not indicated exactly what your Camera Roll, and other things that are being backed up are using.
    Can you tell us what the total of each item that is being backed up is?
    Cheers,

  • When I bought my Mac Air OSX Version 10.9.2 my daughter helped me migrate the contents of my previous macbook.  But in the process seems to have duplicated the iTunes library .  The start up disk is almost full and plus it doesn't my iPhone.  Please help!

    When I bought my Mac Air OSX Version 10.9.2 my daughter helped me migrate the contents of my previous macbook.  But in the process seems to have duplicated the iTunes library - How do I get rid of one.  The start up disk is almost full and plus it doesn't synch properly with my iPhone 4S.  Please help!

    Hello nicky:
    You should run repair disk from your software install DVD before you try anything else. The crash may have damaged some of your directories - and a possible cause of the "missing/not missing" tunes.
