I have a message saying my Startup Disk is full on my MacBook Pro. Saying 0 GB free. At the moment we use Dropbox for most files, there are a lot of emails in my inbox but apart from that I don't understand why no space is left

2 days back I started getting this message "startup disc is full" I have aperture for my photos and deleted all the duplicates which should have freed up a lot of space.After deleting files when I go back and check it is still full.I have deleted files from Aperture trash and the trash on the toolbar also.Is this a virus? I personally dont think I have enough files to fill up 500GB, probably around 200 GB.

I just got a message that my startup disk is full. It happened while I was importing some videos. I do have a lot of videos on there. It's my daughter's macbook, but I use it for video editing. Is the startup disk the hard drive on these things? I'm not completely used to Macs yet, I was planning on deleting some of the older video files that are no longer needed, but should my daughter delete photos, etc. too?

I keep getting a "startup disk is full" message on my MacBook, yet I have more than 50% of my 55gig HD empty. Haven't partitioned the HD. I've tried clearing the cache on my browser and running disk repair on the HD. I'm considering adding RAM (currently have 1 gig). I'm running 10.6.8.

I am getting a message that my startup disk is almost full. My HDD is roughly 500GB and 327GB are free. Doesn't make much sense to me. Something strange in one of the latest updates? Is there some setting I need to change in order to open up more memory for system files?

I'm confused why it says "Your computer does not need this update"? It's a MBP4, 1 and has some startup noises and (always has had IIRC) problems with it making noises that don't seem right. I've checked Software Update and there is nothing there (I just ran it and updated a minute ago). I'm curious why it says this, is there a firmware update 1.7 that needs to be installed for the MBP?

I have just purchased a Macbook pro and have just seen on the Apps icon on the screen that I have 2 updates available, one for garageband and the other for iphoto. I tried logging in using my apple ID username and password but I keep getting an error message stating: "You have updates available for other accounts. To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." I googled the apple ID error and it led me to the apple support side where I could find out if I had multiple apple ID's linked to the same email address.
It came back with 3 accounts linked to my email address. I have found the username's for all 3 accounts and changed the passwords to all the same and then tried to log in to Apps on the macbook but can't seem to do it. I was wondering if it's possible to delete Apple ID's so I only have one account. What I have noticed is that when using my iphone the old app's I have to log into my old Apple ID to download up-dates, whereas the newer apps on my phone I have to use my email address as the username.

Started the 24in iMac (The white version a few years old) up and there is a small window that comes up stating: 'IP Configuration. 10.1.1.4 in use by:15:af:e1:3e:f5 I click OK and carry so I can carry on with the password. I have 'Airport' on the system and my Macbook works fine so it's not the router.

I have a Macbook Pro. I have had it less than a year. I keep getting messages that my start up disk is full. I would love to delete some things but can't figure out how. I can't even update my Mac now b/c I don't have enough room.

I got this problem with my MB, it freezes in the startup. I went to the Macstore and asked a technician for help. He said it could be the Mac OS or the harddrive. He said I should try the Apple Hardware Test and see if's anything wrong. I got this error message: 4SNS/1/40000000:TCOD-102.125 I've searched Google with no positive result. Does anyone in here know anything about the error message?

I cannot update my applications because my start up disk is full.Â
I have :
- emptied downloads and email downloads folders
- placed all bulky documents in dropbox and external hard drives (movies, pictures, etc)Â
Despite all this, I still have no clue where half of my computer contents come from (about 60GB totally unidentified)Â
I have downloaded Tidy Up - it found 6000 duplicate documents on my computer but ask me to pay to delete them!Â
how I can clean the contents of my computer for free? What is taking so much space? Where do I need to look?Â
