Low disk space_Downloading disabled warning OS 10.6.7 Mac

Tue, 06/21/2011 - 22:15 — glennbah
I have been using ElectricSheep for years and love it. However, I recently had to install a new hard drive reinstalled all oS software and did a restore from Disk Utility. I have many sheep .avi files within "Application Support>ElectricSheep folder, but do not get anything to render upon sleep. I have a warning at the top of the Sheep saver window that says "Low disk space_Downloading disabled. I have over 300 gigs of hard drive space available. What next???

Same Problem, "Low Disk space. Downloading Disabled"

I recently had to get a new HD on my 2011 15" MacBook Pro with 10.6.8 and I'm getting the same error message. I have 233GB of space free on my HD. Don't have any sheep downloaded and don't know what to do. Love the Electric sheep genetic algorithm project! I love telling people about it and I want to be able to demo it! Haalp! PS. I've already tried deleting Electric sheep and reinstalling it... to no avail.

please send us by email a log

please send us by email a log file (turn it on in the advanced settings), and we'll have a look. If you could also open up a terminal and run the command "df" and send the output, that would help. thanks.

Turned out they were using

Turned out they were using the wrong account on their new disk drive (ie they had upgraded the disk incorrectly).

But we should give a better error message, we'll look into it.

low disk space on macbook pro

I also recently encountered the same issue after my macbook pro was abducted by Ops. Can you describe how you fixed the problem of the "wrong" account? Thanks much!
