Why does my 2 month old macbook keep telling me I do not have enough disk space? I do not have almost anything on the computer, I think I have installed only two apps. HELP
MacBook Pro
Go under the Apple menu to About This Mac and then More Info... click on the Storage tab and see how much free space you show remaining. Also note what may be taking up so much room on your internal hard drive. Post a screen shot if you can.

You should free up a bit more space that for comfort
Start by emptying the trash, then move on to an app like Disk Inventory X to find out what is taking up all that room
As for garage band
If you plan to uninstall iDVD or GarageBand by moving these applications' icons from Applications folder to the Trash, be sure to also trash the corresponding iDVD or GarageBand folders within the Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support folder. These folders contain iDVD themes and GarageBand loops and instruments, respectively, that consume several gigabytes of disk space.
Music, Images?
I have no music on the computer and no videos. I have a few images but not that many, like I said I have not had the computer that long. I have everything off my old computer on a hard drive. I have no clue what is going on.
Something's up with your "Other" storage it would seem. Try booting into your Recovery partition (Command and R keys held down upon startup) and verify and repair both permissions and your hard drive. You should see some drive space freed up.

So I did the apple menu, but not sure how to take a snapshot! But it says zero KB on everything except on other and that one says 499.25 gb....so what is other?
You can take a snap shot by pressing:
Command+shift+3
I tried disk inventory but my computer said not enough disk space to download it!
Backup everything you need on your computer, boot to the recovery partition, erase your disk and reinstall the OS.
Are you using Time Machine ?
not enough disk space
