Computers / How To Clear Full Scratch Disks On Mac? by SamOu: 3:49pm On Mar 13, 2018
I have a fairly new MacBook pro computer in which I downloaded Photoshop CS5. I keep getting the pop up window telling me my Scratch disk is full. It is annoying. Can anyone please tell me how to fix it? — Jack



Before discussing how to clear the full scratch disk problem on Mac, let’s firstly figure out what the Scratch Disk is.

A scratch disk is the drive or drive partition with free memory, which is for only temporary storage. Commonly,Scratch space is used in the graphic design programs such as Adobe Photoshop. When you are using those programs, a working space called virtual memory or cache memory, where temporary files are stored in, is needed. If you only have only one hard drive on your Mac, then the scratch disk would be the drive where OS system is installed in.

It can not be used for backing up or save files permanently as something like the startup disk does. But of cause you can delete some useless files to release the storage space for future use. If your scratch disk is overloaded, you would be prompted with the message like “scratch disk is full” when you open some files with programs such as Adobe Photoshop. With the error popping up, you would fail to open the files or use the graphic design programs in a normal way. And I think it is reason why you looking for a solution. Now let’s talk about how to fix scratch disk gets full error.

How to Fix Scratch Disk Is Full Error?

Actually, if you want to solve the full scratch disk problem, you would need to delete temp files and clear the disk space. Some people may assign a new scratch disk(change a hard drive you want and set it as your scratch disk) to fix the error, but you are not recommended to do so as the problem has not been actually solved. And the other problem is, when you assign a new scratch disk, it can also get full after some times using. And for some Mac users, there is only one hard drive in it. In this way, please check the following two methods to solve the problem correctly.

Method 1. Free Up Scratch Disk Manually

1. Clear Your Disk Space

Please go to your Mac drive and find out the contents which are useless or you don’t want to keep any more, delete them to free up the space. For the media files such as old videos, photos or audios you don’t want to use recently, you can transfer them to a external drive or the cloud storage.

2. Delete Temp Files

The caches from the graphic design programs such as Adobe Photoshop can take up a lot of space on your scratch disk if you don’t remove them. Now let’s take Photoshop program as an example to see how to delete temp files create from it. To find out the temporary files, please search your computer and look for files with extension ".tmp" and them delete them off your Mac.

Method 2. Clear Scratch Disk with CleanMyMac 3

CleanMyMac 3 is a terrific software that can help to monitor and clear up your Mac easily. All you need to do is to have several clicks on the program and you don’t have to find out the outdated files all by yourself. Now, let’s see what magics can CleanMyMac 3 brings.

Programming / How To Remove Plugins&extensions On Macbook Air? by SamOu: 2:41pm On Mar 13, 2018
The plugins and extensions can help to reduce the size of an application and easily add new features. However, if you get the useless plugins and extensions, or the ones you never installed, they would slow down your Mac.



Before we start to introduce the way how to remove Plugins and extensions on Mac, let's firstly figure out what exactly Add-on, Plug-in or Extension is.

Add-on is a piece of software that enhances and customizes some kinds of applications. For instance, you can get add-ons to compare prices, check the weather or location, listen to music, or even change the look of your browser.

Plug-in, which cannot be run independently, is a piece of software which can only change something in the web pages. The most common usage of the plug-in can be adding some new features such as virus scanners, search-engines and so on.

Extension is usually used in modifying the interface and/or behavior and extending the functionality of a web browser. Similar to add-ons, extension can add stuff into the browser for better performance.

Now, I would introduce two methods to delete the unwanted plugins and extensions on your Mac. Please check them out below.

2. Go to "More tools > Extensions".



3. You can see a list of extensions there and please click on the "Remove" button to delete them off.

Computers / 4 Ways To Fix Macos’ Persistent “this Message Could Not Be Sent” Error by SamOu: 2:26pm On Mar 13, 2018


When you try to send a message in macOS’ Messages app, you may occasionally encounter the following error:

“There was an error sending the previous message. Would you like to send it again?”

However, sometimes this error may pop up seemingly out of nowhere, including when you’ve just rebooted your Mac, or brought it out of a sleep state – scenarios where you know you didn’t recently try to send a message.

While you could just hit the ‘Ignore’ button, most of the time this error will reappear almost immediately, and hitting ‘Resend Message’ when you suspect this error isn’t related to a sending failure could result in you resending message(s) that have already been successfully received.

If you’re encountering this error and are convinced that it isn’t due to a message failing to send, then there’s a few possible fixes you can try:

1. Check whether Apple services are down
2. Check you’re logged in
3. Force Quit
4. Setup Text Forwarding
