best application to use hard drive information

I need to wipe my hard drive MacBook Air that's why I can back up my cell phone. Right now I am getting an error indicating the system could not saved the iphone because there is not enough space on my computer. I have cleaned a lot of unnecessary files and apps, but I'm still having problems. Can anyone recommend an app that will break down it for me so I can see what is to eat most of my hard drive?

Thank you.

At some point, you will want to get an external storage device.   After the back if you do and you will allow the secret to make it useful by itunes.

Caution when you delete files. A lot of people trashed their system when deleting things.

Placing things in the trash. Restart & run your applications. Empty the trash.

Go after large files you created & know what they are.  Do not remove the small files that are located in a folder that you don't know what the record is for. All that is less than a megabyte is a small file these days.

Empty the trash.  Space is not reclaimed until you clear it in three places.

Run

OmniDiskSweeper

"How simple and fast to save disk space.

OmniDiskSweeper is now free!

http://www.OmniGroup.com/applications/OmniDiskSweeper/download/

This will give you a list of files and folders sorted by size. Go after things that you know are big.

To show all files, you must open a session for each user on your system and run OmniDiskSweeper.

Or you can take the more risky approach using the root account to get read/write access to all files on your system.  Be careful removing the wrong file, your system will be trash.

    ESXi 4.1 is almost complete used hard drive... but... in fact, it is not true.

    Hello

    Regardless of the type of disc you use once in VMware ESX allocates space on the disk it will never resume. It will happen as two snacks of thin disc as thick disk. Only difference is that the thin disk allocation is on request and for thick it is pre configured.

    Now, when we see inside the guest, he will see some quantity using comments he will never see beyond that, because of virtualization. But the esx host is aware of what his size allocated to this disc.

    Please see KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1022242 for more information on the types of disk in VMware.

  • Can satellite A300d-16W - I use HARD drive recovery after installing Win XP?

    I formatted my PC and installed XP. Can I reinstall Vista using HARD drive recovery?

    > I formatted my PC and install XP

    No, you cannot use the recovery HARD drive after installing Win XP because looks like you have formatted the HARD drive and the HARD disk partition has been erased.

    So you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk that I hope, you created before you formatted the HARD drive.

  • How to restore Toshiba external HARD drive information system?

    I use macbook aluminum. When I insert my Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive 320 GB (ext. HDD 2.5 ") 3 on my laptop the time machine automatically ask me if I want to use the hard drive as backup. I accidentally said yes and allow him to erase all information from the hard drive and now my only computer can read the disc hard and another laptop / pc can't read.

    As it can store my files, but may not transfer and open on any other computer besides mine.

    So where can I re-download or reinstall back my Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive 320 GB system information (ext. HDD 2.5 ") 3 so that other computer can read?

    Please help me, bought just for 2 days.

    Hello

    I m not sure but I think to me it s no longer tied to your laptop and has nothing to do with Toshiba. Maybe you use the file system that can be read by other computers (Windows)?

    If you connect to the Windows computer, you can see the disk in disk management?

  • Best way backup external hard drives?

    SYSTEM INFORMATION:

    HP Pavilion PU131AV / a1050y, Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP MCE, SP3 32-bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600

    CURRENT BACKUP METHOD: I have three external hard drives (200 GB, 300GB, 750GB) all connected via USB.  I use the 750Go to back up the data on my 200 and 300 GB.  Currently, I manually copy all the files from the 750 GB smaller hard drives to save them.  It's very tedious because it takes about 5 hours to copy 200 GB of data.

    QUESTION: I've never used the 'Backup Now' tool (right click on the drive / properties / tools / backup now) to back up external hard drives.  It would be a better option for me instead of manually copying files to a post of h/d to another?  Can I automate backups?  How can I retrieve the backup should I need the data backup?

    Thank you very much

  • Can I use HARD drive of 160 GB on Satellite M70-159?

    Is it possible to upgrade disk HARD Sat.M70 - 159 up to 160 GB (SATA)?

    Hello???

    Unfortunately there is no public document on this subject, but I assume that 120 GB should work on this laptop. I hope that someone here will be able to give more information. I have exactly the same model laptop but make sure you didn't upgrade the HARD drive.

    If you have success with 120 or 160 GB drive HARD please let me know. Maybe I have will modernize my HARD drive also.

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - how to use HARD drive recovery files to install Vista again

    I've read the threads that already exist, until anyone there sprang key of course, however I don't see the answers to my questions, so I hope someone can help.

    Basically my A300 has been regularly overheating and turning off, and after a recent instance of this, I left it disassembled and cleaned the radiator and the surround carefully.

    Unfortunately, reassembly, it became clear that Windows would not start, probably due to some problem caused by the most recent power cut or maybe even within my very careful disassembly?

    In any case, Vista does not start, in all modes, either standard, in safe mode or in repair mode. As standard, it screens with a message of error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue etc.

    Mode of repair, windows bar logo and green rises, but then it just black screens and no more. Slight variation only I had here, it's that sometimes a white cursor rises, but still a black screen. I left the machine 30 minutes where there was a simple delay, but not... nothing happens, it just hangs.

    I have no CD of restoration, because I did not create one, but I was able to access all the files via the platform of Knoppix, and everything seems in order, so important HARD drive corruption seems unlikely.

    I see records to get Toshiba HDD and also Windows RE, so my question to you people is as follows; Is it possible that I can use these files that are still in tact to get Vista without buying a disc for £ 30 from Toshiba?

    My concern is, I don't see why the supposed recovery integrated does not work given that the associated files still seem present and intact on the disk, and I'm reluctant to lose 30 pounds on something, if it is not guaranteed to work in all cases.

    What would you recommend I do?
    My files are backed up and whatever is left is not important... I just want to restore my Vista more quickly, more simple, the cheapest possible.

    Hey,.

    Unfortunately I think that there is nothing you can do because the files are unnecessary if disk HARD recovery doesn't work because you must be able to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu.

    I agree with you, it's not good recovery disc HARD Toshiba doesn't work for you, but you must also understand s your fault if you didn't create the recovery disk as mentioned in the user manual. ;)

    So either buy you a new recovery disk or you are using a Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows. All drivers and tools that you can download on the page of Toshiba.

  • Remove earlier / released old system files and Microsoft applications to wipe hard drive.

    This weekend I had a BSOD problem. Fortunately I was able to recover the system due to the construction, it supports routines in XP. Now I try however to condition my system to minimize a reoccurrence by cleaning the system of updating drivers, to eliminate the unnecessary s/w and wipe my hard drive. Is safe for me to remove earlier versions of the update of the s/w Microsoft for office, MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 2, Windows Internet Explorer 8.0 s/w updates, updates to Windows XP, Microsoft. NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and updated security system? I could recover valuable space on my hard drive. Thank you.

    PS. is it possible to transfer all the information it is to say, s/w, docs, files, etc. of a hard drive on a bigger hard drive?

    I'll answer the part about the updates Windows and framework-

    Remove the old Windows updates: -.

    Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

    These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
    NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

    Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

  • Best application to use a database

    I want to create a database for books in our library. Numbers of would be the best?

    Hi Darin,

    It depends on what you want to do the list. f you want just a list that you can sort and search, then numbers will probably work. If you want a software that will occur together or most of the tasks of a system of library management, then numbers (or any other spreadsheet application) is probably not your best choice. The ones sold rented profit have annual license fees in the range of 5 figure.

    So the most important question is "what do you want this database to do?

    Kind regards

  • used hard drive, problems

    So I got a hd on an old laptop after mine accident. successor, my old laptop had a partition, so I do not have a disk, the laptop turns on but does not work right. (im assuming driver problems) How could I go on it to return to the good operating condition. as I redo the windows completely with all the drivers from scratch. without having to buy the drive

    Basically, you cannot use the dirive, or more importantly, the installation of win that was created on another PC. Unless this win installation was created with a commercial version of victory, and if it was you will need to use your win7 retail dvd to repair the installation and then install the new drivers for your PC

    Or to put it in other words an oem (preinstalled version of victory) cannot be transferred to another PC

  • How can I get my application to use the drive when Reader and Acrobat Standard are installed?

    My 3rd party app is not the default for PDF files. I have installed Adobe reader and Adobe Acrobat standard.  Adobe Reader is defined as the PDF reader by default in Windows XP, but my 3rd party app opens PDFs with Acrobat Standard instead.  Only when I uninstall Acrobat Standard t - it, then open a PDF file with reader. Is there any information I can send to the 3rd party support people who tell me this isn't there problem? According to them, that they use that provides the operating system.

    If you use 10 x or later:

    Choose Preferences > General > select default PDF Manager.

    This will call the installer and you can set the default display.

  • Satellite L500-1XL: catering on the day of the purchase using HARD drive recovery

    Is this possible?

    I'm trying to restore my laptop to this day of purchase (only a month today). From what I see on the forum, I'm just in a long line of us discovered that the version of our recovery DVD does not match the product we bought. This is why I would like to restore the 64-bit version (without the option out of order price of recovery media that is shockingly overpriced compared the offer from Microsoft to switch to DVD 64-32 / 32-64 bit more shipping costs).

    () This brand of righteous 'aid' is subjective, condescending and above all and most relevant to this forum is useless. "I don't understand why you don't save up to 5,000 copies the day of purchase"... etc. We all make mistakes, and if you have done one, you're going to do on new. It's nice when the person we meet at this time is not pointing the finger of judgement)))

    > So, I would restore the 64-bit version (without the option out of order price of recovery media that is shockingly overpriced compared the offer from Microsoft to switch to DVD 64-32 / 32-64 bit more shipping costs).

    The laptop came pre-installed with Win 7 64 bit. In addition, you have the recovery disk Toshiba version of Win 7 32 bit.

    Please take a look in the user manual.
    He says that you can create a recovery in addition to the operating system which was pre-installed disk. means Win 7 64 bit.
    There should be a Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator called preinstalled tool. This tool allows to create own 64 bit Windows 7 new recovery disc.
    After you create this disk, you can use it to put the laptop in the same State as on the first day of purchase.

  • Cannot retrieve Satellite L300 using HARD drive recovery option

    Hello

    I'm trying to restore to factory settings but have no luck.

    I tried pressing F8 when the toshiba logo comes back, it goes to the screen of boot in advance and I select computer repair and it boots to windows. I don't get the recovery options.
    I also tried pressing zero when switching on the laptop just rings home.

    It is a vista running L300-149

    As I see all you do is right.
    Turn on your laptop and press F8 several times and you will enter the Advanced startup options

    The first option should be repair your computer and after two or three steps, you should see The System Recovery Options , and last option there Toshiba recovery.

    Have you used this recovery options in the past or you are trying to use it for the first time?
