Are you running out of space on your hard drive?
The amount of free space you need can vary
depending on how much RAM memory your computer
has.
Look under your Apple Menu -> "About This Mac".
You will see the amount of memory shown there.
As a rough calculation to find how much hard disk
space you need (in GB), double the above figure
for memory, and add 2.
Nearly all computers now will show the memory in
Gigabytes (GB). If your computer is old, you may
see the number quoted as Megabytes (MB). In that
case, divide by 1000 to convert the number into
GB.
For example - my current computer has 4GB RAM
installed. So I should have a minimum of 10GB
hard drive space on my startup disk.
If the hard drive space is a problem, you can
often reclaim large amounts of space by disabling
"Spotlight" on your computer, and deleting the
Spotlight database files from your hard drive.
These files are hidden, and after years of use
they can occupy huge amounts of disk space. Of
course, the down side of disabling spotlight is
that you lose the indexes which enable your
computer to speedily search all the files on your
computer.
You can disable Spotlight by entering commands in
the Terminal program (google "Disable Spotlight"
for instructions). If you find that challenging,
you may consider buying software called
"Spotless". It comes in separate versions for OS
10.5 and 10.6, so your best path would be to buy
the 10.5 version first, then pay the upgrade
price for the 10.6 version.
