What to do when your Mac becomes really slow if you have run out of Apple storage space

Many Apple ZA Support fans find their Mac’s becoming slow as a result of a shortage of Apple storage space.

Apple storage upgrades can make a big difference if you are thinking of upgrading your Mac.

Apple storage upgrades can take two forms either upgrading to an Apple hard drive or by upgrading to an Apple SSD. Apple Fusion drives deliver some degree of performance improvement however, the best Apple storage upgrade is an Apple SSD.

Here are some signs that your Mac has run out of Apple storage space and requires an Apple hard drive or SSD upgrade.

Mac doesn’t boot into the operating system

  1. If your Mac doesn’t start up and doesn’t boot into the operating system this is a sign that your Apple hard drive or SSD is full. In this case you can try to delete some of the files via terminal commands. If you have not done this before ZA Support doesn’t recommend altering the code on your Mac. Click here and contact ZA Support if you are not sure on how to delete files to free up storage space on your Mac.

Mac boots into operating system with Apple storage warning that the Mac’s storage is full

  1. Sometimes your Mac will boot into the operating system however, a notification will appear alerting you to the fact the storage on your Mac is full. At this point ZA Support would recommend running an Apple backup of your data, then trying to delete some files you don’t need. If there are no files which can be deleted and its time to upgrade your Mac’s Apple storage capacity to either a bigger Apple hard drive or a new Apple SSD contact ZA Support for all the available options to upgrade your Mac.

Mac boots and a flashing folder appears

  1. In some cases your Mac might boot up and show a flashing folder sign. This can be the result of either the machine being unable to boot into the operating system because the Mac has run out of hard drive space or, that there may be a problem with the actually hard drive in the Mac. If the Mac’s hard drive is failing this is a big risk that your data may be lost on your Mac.
