As I was attempting to email my mom some pictures from Christmas I got a message saying that my startup disk is full and I need to quit all applications and delete files from my start up disk or run the risk of permanently damaging the computer.
I shut everything down and googled the warning I got. I went through the steps of emptying trash cans, which freed up some space but not enough. I got to the step about "if this suddenly happens", which is what happened w/ me. I followed the prompts, got into my logs and I see where the problem is but I don't know what to do about it. :perplex: Most of what the log says doesn't mean anything to me but I do understand that it's happening in i-movie and i-photo. I did understand those two words amongst the foreign language on my screen. :crazy:
My daughter had been messing around w/ i-movie and that, according to the logs, is where the hiccup seems to have occurred, consuming all of our memory. I have 61 gb left on a 499.7 gb disc, that was after emptying trash cans. Before trash removal I was maxed out at 499 gb. :eek:
So what do I do now? Delete everything from i-movies? Shouldn't she be able to use i-movies w/o it taking up all the space? :perplex:
Thanks for any ideas or help you can give. I so wish I understood technology better than I do. :spin:
