• MacBook Pro 300 missing + GB of space

  I have a fairly new 13 "MacBook Pro running the latest version of El Capitan. It has a 1 TB SSD, and today, I suddenly got a warning that the disk is full. I watched as she quickly fell to less than 1 GB. I rebooted, run disk utility and has been able to do up to 35 GB again, but when I use Omni drive Sweeper or Daisy disk missing more than 300 GB of space.

  963,2 total disk space

  User 560

  Apps 66

  What became of the other 300 GB?

  Clues, solutions?

  Omni DiskSweeper tell what takes up space... which are the largest files and what are they?

• several hard files

  I ran Daisy disk trying to find out why my boot drive fills up.  The two biggest files on the disk were my two disks of VMware.  I have a XP SP3 virtual machine and a Vista virtual machine.  I don't have a lot of programs installed on each one and don't use not it be a lot so I was wondering why the xp was 134.2 GB and vista a 181,5 GB.  Dig deeper into the vista machine, for example, I found this:

  / Users/James/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista x 64 Edition.vmwarevm/Windows Vista x 64 Edition - 000002.vmdk - 138 MB

  / Users/James/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista x 64 Edition.vmwarevm/Windows Vista x 64 Edition - 000003.vmdk - 35.5 MB

  / Users/James/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista x 64 Edition.vmwarevm/Windows Vista x 64 Edition - 000004.vmdk - 9.3 GB

  / Users/James/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista x 64 Edition.vmwarevm/Windows Vista x 64 Edition - 000005.vmdk - GB 41.1

  / Users/James/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista x 64 Edition.vmwarevm/Windows Vista x 64 Edition - 000006.vmdk - 26.1 GB

  / Users/James/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista x 64 Edition.vmwarevm/Windows Vista x 64 Edition - 000007.vmdk - 1.3 GB

  The same situation applies to the virtual machine xp.  I have 14 hard is there with a couple of them exceeds 15 GB each.  Why do I get so many virtual disks?  The snapshot function has something to do with it?  If I delete some of them to recover space, what are the possible ramifications?  Thank you.

  Yes, they are instantaneous.  If you have active AutoProtect you can decrease the number of snapshots of protection to save disk space.  Usually, it is safe to delete snapshots as the changes are going to get rolled up the line to the base vmdk.  If you have that much space, removing every link can take a long time.

  I use usually 1-2 just before I know I could do something in the trash a virtual machine like instant manuals install AV or test a firewall, etc.

• 'Other' take a lot of disk space. Is this normal?

  Looking at the disk utility, "another takes place half of the disk space. Is this normal and if this is not the case, how I find what is take up space?

  It's probably normal. The other refers to all files no audio, no video, no photo, no - app. You can easily find what takes up the space with small applications such as:

  • Daisy disc: https://daisydiskapp.com
  • OmniDiskSweeper: https://www.omnigroup.com/more

• Disk backup does not back up

  Yesterdy I've updated for Sierra of MacOs. Everything works well, but since the upgrade, my backup disk refuses to back up. He sees the disc as a "read only"disc." Before the upgrade, it worked normally. What could be wrong and what and how can I change? Thanks in advance.

  Depending on the type of drive, boards can vary. What is your external drive, and how it is formatted? You use Time Machine?

  Backup disks, you can use with Time Machine - Apple Support

  Good day.

• What are disk images and can they be removed

  In downloads, I have a lot of disk images containing memory - such as Chrome - beyond 1 GB.

  I can remove them? Does make a difference? What are doing?

  All the other tips to speed up my mac because it is really slow!

  Have just updated the OS to Sierra - & that made matters worse, not better!

  A disk image is a convenient way for a developer to package and deliver the program. Once you have copied the program in your Applications folder, there is no reason to keep. You can safely remove. Note: Make sure that you have copied the image program in your applications folder before deleting.

• Cloning of SSD HD via active with Filevault disk utility

  Hi all

  I want to improve my HD to SSD.

  I intend on using disk utility for recovery mode to clone my HD to a Virgin SSD I bought.

  I must, however, Filevault enabled on my HD.

  It will be a problem when it comes to cloning the drive?

  Thank you

  Adam

  No, it shouldn't be a problem. It may be necessary first turn on FileVault and encrypt the SSD. But if there is no problem just turn off FileVault on the HARD drive.

  Same thing here, iMac with OS X 10.11.6. All started a couple days ago. Have not found any valid solution online yet, I tried rebooting in recovery mode and check disk, but it seems that everything is ok with the drives and permissions.

• Boot disk problem

  Hey guys,.

  I'm in desperate need of help! My laptop froze on me today, forcing me to hard reboot.  In doing so, he was only a folder flashing with an exclamation mark on the subject.  I tried some of the troubleshooting tips I found and held R command to force the recovery of the internet, but don't have my usual disks part of utility of disc.  All I had were 'Disc O' and 'base system Mac X', who checked properly without a need of repair.  I then tried to reinstall OS X, but it lacked all the discs for me to choose as the destination of the installation.

  What can I do to start my computer? What is a hard drive problem? IM traveling to the India tomorrow and it's a real bummer that I do not have a working laptop the night before leaving... I'll take it to an Apple Store, but I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing I have.  It seems that some of the issues that have worked for others have not worked for me.

  Hard drive seems to be dead but may have gotten disconnected. One of these requires a repair.

• I interrupted utility disk neck 3 clear and now I can't start

  Hello

  with my iMac 21.5 "2016 days 30 years playing up (beachballing each click of the mouse), I decided to start over with a new facility. However, when I deleted my hard drive I accidentally selected the erase 3-pass. I stopped very quickly the erase operation, but now I cannot start my computer and cannot use the recovery of the internet option when you press the R option to install new software to boot.

  so has my cancellation erase the neck 3, all the data on my disk unrecoverable and the unusable disk?

  spoke to apple and they say it needs a repair? It is 31 days old. I have probably need a new hard drive because of this?

  Thank you.

  Yes. The clear operation is all data unrecoverable.

  The first step must always be a backup before you start any of this important project.

  If Apple says it should be repaired then take to them and ask them to fix it please.

• Can I create a recovery bootable USB through disk utility?

  My HARD drive is dying, I can't access my Macintosh HD partition anymore and I can't reinstall OS because I SMART errors. Before the format and reinstall the attempt to load slow my computer, random errors, etc. So I definitely think that the HARD drive is near death. My plan is to replace my HDD for a Virgin SSD, I perform this task several times on computers of the victory but for MAC, I wonder how I will load the new OS. Can I make a bootable USB with the recovery partition, but on a USB key tools? Unofrtunately I have more available Mac to create the USB bootable through itunes.

  My computer is the MacBook Pro (13-inch mid 2010), I have also all original packaging somewhere, if there is a CD that I can use, I certainly can get too.

  Any advice?

  Thank you!

  Apple have this to do a USB installation...

  Create an installer for OS X - Apple support bootable

  Another option is to use the diskmakerx.com application

  You must have the OS installer downloaded to make these methods of work is probably not practice on your failed drive.

  Both of these options are to run a 'normal' operating system too. The recovery partition is not 'normal '.

  Another option is to use the Internet recovery mode if your Mac supports...

  Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

  On macOS recovery - Apple Support

  Use wired ethernet for best results, since it will download a bootable OS & then download the installer of the OS also.

  I suspect you have the update of the firmware installed to add this feature if it has been updated over the last 3 years

  You may be able to generate a score of alternative recovery to another disk (such as a USB key) If you want to just "compensation of base OS.

  OS X: on Recovery Disk Wizard - Apple Support

  A last solution would be to clone your drive failing on an external drive (or use the new SSD in a proper case). That can be done in the modes of recovery via disk utility. Basically, you use a feature to "restore" to clone one volume to another. (I don't see clear instructions for the moment so ask if you want to pursue this option).

• sparsebundle disk image not mounting

  I've recently upgraded to Mac OS Sierra and now I can not mount an image of disk sparsebundle.

  I enter the password, and then nothing happens.

  I tried the same image on a Mac running Leopard and it opens fine.

  I tried a few other sparsebundle some and other encrypted disk images not. Some are open very well, but others do not.

  So, it doesn't seem to be a problem of sparsebundle encrypted disk image.

  Any suggestions?

  After investigation a little more the problem is Sophos AV

  Turn it off and the disk mount fine images.

  I hope this helps.

• Disk utility does not see an external drive on my network

  I'm trying to reformat the external drive that I use for backup on Time Machine, but disk utility does not see it. She appears in the Finder as a shared drive. I use OS x 10.11.6. Thank you.

  Disk utility is not supposed to see the network drives.

  If it's a USB, connect it to your computer.

  If it's an Ethernet or wireless, using a utility specifically designed for this.

• After installing macOS Sierra. There is no disk external drive appears on the desktop.

  The external hard drive still works on macOS El Capitan, but after I installed the new operating system the drive doesn't appear on the desktop. But I found it appears on disk utility. How should I solve this problem?

  • I used the iMac (mid 2011).
  • I tried to restart but still problem.

  

  Is the option to display external drives on the desktop yet activated in Finder preferences?  Check the Finder preferences.
