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.
Thanks,
Hi Alan,
This is a HTTPS 413 error.
"413 - Request Entity Too Large
The server is refusing to process a request because the
request entity is larger than the server is willing or able
to process. The server may close the connection to prevent
the client from continuing the request. What constitutes
'too large' depends in part by the operation being
attempted.
For example a request to upload a very large file (via
the HTTP PUT method) may encounter a limitation on upload
file size set by the Web server.”
You could try “Empty Cache” in Safari, then restart
Safari and try the process again, making sure you don’t have
any other pages open at the time you are trying to do the
upload.
Cheers,
Ronni

I was attempting to complete a 3-step web form for a Myer
extended warranty. Step two requires details including a
proof of purchase attachment of less than 4MB. My PDF
scan of the receipt is 586KB. Process halts when I press
"Step 3 - Confirmation". After a period of inactivity I
receive the above error message. Google suggested it is
HTTPS 413.
I am using Safari 5.0.5. I have previously submitted
web forms with larger attachments successfully (to a State
Govt department) so it MAY not be my iMac or ISP.
