• Created a log partition which is invisible and taking up valuable space. (El Capitan).

  I've created a normal 175 GB partition through redesigned disk utility. It has been chugging along so I left it to itself, and when I came back my cell phone has been turned off. I restarted to find that my main HARD drive, which has a capacity of 500 GB, showed only the original score, Macintosh HD, click show ~ 325 f. information on the disc main hard shows he has 3 children, but I do not see the partition that I created. I tried to turn on the ole debugger using the Terminal, but it doesn't seem to work. Any help is appreciated.

  There are some ideas that worked in an OS X version earlier, to remove all the

  partition and not to reformat/install OS X together. This may cause a new OS x

  other questions or take more time, then first try the easier method...

  • OS X tips: using disk utility: deletion and resizing of Partitions:

  http://pondini.org/OSX/DU4.html

  This article suggests (in the old OS X) how locate/view all partitions in disk utility:

  http://www.CNET.com/news/manage-all-partitions-with-disk-utility-in-OS-x/

  But the second demonstrates how to use the Debug menu (via terminal?) + which is not supported in ElCapitan.

  You will need to back up your files to an archive external and then to reformat the entire HARD drive

  then try to reinstall the OS X. This is where a great clone would be useful, to the State

  until you've tried this adventure of the partition. Would be also removed the OS X Recovery partition

  When you reformat the entire disk to delete the partition. And recreated if not automatic.

  It is therefore preferable to not having to actually reformat to get rid of the additional partitions, but sometimes do you.

  Perhaps others who are overall this will add details where I have included no... It's

  the first response at the time I started; because I'm slow, someone may have already done.

  Good luck & happy computing!

• Secure erase Freespace on El Capitan

  After the upgrade to El Capitan, utility of disk has been changed and 'Delete' is grey on Macintosh HD. I used to wipe the free space on the disk for who could clear space for me. I checked to see my storage earlier and I had 19 GB left on my 500 GB drive. I emptied my basket of 100 GB for a rise of 2 GB on the remaining disk space. How do you the service once again, as I am running out of space?

  TLDR QUESTIONS:

  1. How does a deletion of free space on El Capitan?

  2. If it is totally unavailable, which is an alternative I can continue to get the same result?

  
  

  EDIT:

  I saw this link http://www.macworld.com/article/1139688/os-x/erasefreespace.html several times in similar discussions. I followed the instructions for the first list:

  diskutil list

  / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 500,3 disk0

  1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

  2: Apple_CoreStorage Macintosh HD 499.4 GB disk0s2

  3: disk0s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

  / dev/disk1 (internal, virtual):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD GB + 499,0 disk1

  Logical volume on disk0s2

  Unencrypted

  / dev/disk2 (disk image):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: Apple_partition_scheme + 18.1 MB disk2

  1: Apple_partition_map disk2s1 32.3 KB

  2: Apple_HFS Flash Player disk2s2 18.1 MB

  and then perform the clear operation:

  diskutil secureErase freespace 1/dev/disk1

  except that this error comes and stops the process:

  rror:-69847: could not create temporary file

  That underlie the error: 1: reports POSIX: operation not permitted

  
  

  Did you do a cold reboot after you did the clear operation?

• . DocumentRevisions

  Hi, I have a problem with space on El Capitan.

  I have the 128 SSD and 1/4 is full of. DocumentRevisions. I deleted the files of sketches from there, but I can't get rid of the other files. It is full of 21Mo files that are contained in the 6 files/folders by 5, 4 GB. Someone at - it experience with this?

  I tried this command and it did not help.

  • sudo cd /.
  • sudo ls - l. DocumentRevisions-V100
  • sudo rm - rf. DocumentRevisions-V100

  Thank you!

  For more information about document versioning, see this support article. The database that stores previous versions of your documents became too large.

  Please backup all data before making any changes.

  Maybe it's not easy to solve the problem without deleting the whole database, clear all previous versions (but not the current criteria). There is often a single document, or maybe, it is large and has a long history, occupying more space. It could be a document Pages or Keynote presentation with great graphics, for example. If you know or can guess which document that is, remove most or all of its latest versions as made in the article linked above support.

  If the problem is not resolved in this way, see below. All the previous document versions will be deleted. The current versions will not be affected.

  Quit all applications open except the web browser.

  Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

  /.DocumentRevisions-V100

  Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

  Services ▹ Open

  in the context menu. A Finder window should open with a named item '. " DocumentRevisions-V100"selected. Move selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the trash.

• I started the download of el capitan and did not have enough space for the upgrade - I released space, but now the upgrade is blocked for download

  I'm on 10.10.5 and try to upgrade to el capitan via the App Store.  I don't have enough space at the beginning and upgrade wouldn't start - I got error message says not enough disk space.  Once I released space, download hangs and will not end.  I have restarted the download several times and have rebooted as well.

  Hello

  Take a look in your Applications folder to install Mac OS X El Capitan.app. If you find move him to the trash, then empty/remove it. Another thing you could try is to go to Launchpad and look an article with the 'X' Mac OS X logo on it,

  Click and hold on it until it wiggles, and then click the little 'x' and then delete.

  Restart the Mac, relaunch the App Store and see if you can download now El Capitan.

  Another thing you can do, when the download is complete and what is important before you begin the installation process, do a copy to install Mac OS X El Capitan.app and keep them safe, to an external drive or USB key, the original in the Application folder item is deleted once the installation is complete. It is snack and practice have this spare copy so that you can install on other Macs if you want you will need to re - install the system should anything go wrong in the future.

  And always, always make a backup before making major changes to your system.

• El Capitan Upgrade - not enough of space for the upgrade to Photos

  HI guys.  I just upgraded my MB of 2013 at El Capitan Air, and I'm having an issue update to iPhoto to Photos.  We have the iPhoto on an external hard drive library.  When I try to update library it tells me that there is not enough space.  Of course, the obvious answer, and one that I've read here, is to get a bigger external drive.  But before I spend the $$ to do this, I want to make sure that you understand how the upgrade.  The hard drive on my Mac itself is fairly complete, so if he tries to use somehow * that * as space time to do the upgrade, it won't work even with the biggest external drive.  However, if she only cares about the space on the disk where the iPhoto library sits, a new external drive is the fix.

  Anyone know how it works?  Someone got experience with success the upgrade for the Photos on an external drive when you are main internal drive is full?

  Thanks for your help!

  One, never send any image that contains personal information such as your email address, phone number or serial number of the computer.  These are public forums, you do not know which is what reading.  Two, to move between spaces, or drag to the right or the left with three fingers on the trackpad (if you have a MacBook) or press CTRL + right/left arrow keys.

• Since I installed El Capitan I can't 'wipe free space' on my MacIntosh HD by 'Utility Disc': 'Erase' it is blocked

  Hi Support Team,

  1)

  Since I installed El Capitan I can't 'wipe free space' on my MacIntosh HD by 'Utility Disc': 'Erase' it is blocked.

  2)

  How do I unlock (enable) the function "Clear space" in "disk utility"?

  It has been removed from disk utility. You can explore using the commands in Terminal. However, there is no real need to do if you have an encrypted drive. You have a reason to erase free space?

  Since the installation of El Capitan, my streaming to my Audioengine DAC D2 cut after 12 minutes (the default duration of sleep). It will restart by pressing the space bar. When I change the duration of sleep, the cut outs are becoming more frequent and intermittent. Help?

  I checked the wifi and changed frequency (new modem, frequency change made no difference). The Board battery seems fine - all updates well. My computer is an iMac (2011), 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, with a new AMD Radeon graphics card. I recently installed a State strong 1 TB SATA drive and fitted with a LaCie Porsche 4 to USB for backup and a 4TB disk storage RAID LaCie drive.

  I'm frustrated, having to come in my computer since my living room every 12 minutes to continue to listen to Spotify on my stereo system.

  My guess is there a bug in the software of sleep in El Capitan, which disrupts his (I've tried different USB ports connect the Audioengine sender and same thing).

  Should I go back to Yosemite?

• How to get out a failed upgrade of El Capitan caused by the problems of hard drive space

  Upgrade to El Capitan on a MBAir (2010).  Upgrade failed near the end due to a problem of hard disk space.  Now stuck between choosing the language screen and the warning message upgrade and not can not go out to clear space on the hard drive.  Suggestions would be welcome.

  You are able to restart on your old system or you are unable to do so? You can start in the Recovery HD? You have a recent backup?

  If you are unable to start altogether due to lack of space, then you will be forced to erase the disk and restore of OS X from scratch.

  You can try to start HD recovery and to do this:

  Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

  HD recovery start: restart the computer after the ring, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

  Repair the hard drive and permissions: at startup, select in the main menu disk utility. Repair hard disk and permissions as follows.

  When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. Disk utility charges and select Macintosh HD entry indented from the list on the left.  Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait until the operation is complete, then quit disk utility and return to the main menu.

  Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than Wi - Fi and more reliable.
