Yesterday the boot disk of my Mac Pro suddenly began filling up with something unknown. Tech tool Pro put up messages saying the disk had only 13% free space left, out of 320 GB. The only thing I could think to do was try to find out where the excess was accumulating. This seemed to be the Application Support folder in my Home folder. I moved an assortment of the folders to another disk (there are 3 disks), and this moved the added GBs out of the boot disk, so it was back to 140 GB free.
Today I did various jobs on the computer and things seemed normal until I tried to install Security Update 2011-004. The message came up that this update could not be installed on the boot disk because it was not suitable. Then I tried to install the OS 10.6.8 update, and it did install. I tried the Security update again, and got the same message. Then Tech Tool Pro started its warnings again only this time there was only 4% of free space left and it was going down fast. Within a few minutes it was down to 600MB, so I shut it down quick. I am totally at a loss as to what I should do. To make things even more difficult, from Monday I have to be away for ten days. I hope someone can advise me.
