Can't save WCSN event file to hard drive, nor export to other format

I subscribe to WCSN and can view my event on my MacBook, but would like to save the QT Player file and burn to DVD for viewing on my TV (ie personal use only!). But when I try to save, I get error -32767 and cannot find this error in the Support and even Applecare didn't know! What is this error?
Also, I tried exporting to various other formats, but the export stopped/crashed after 20 sec.
If the above is not possible, could I record the streaming in real time to hard drive or DVD? What do I need to do that?
Any info appreciated!
MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Safari 2.0.4

If you open a Finder window you can also sort by size by clicking the size column header. In view options you can also set it to calculate all sizes so it will also show folder sizes. Although not as handy as the cataloging applications you can at least start tracking down where the disk space is going. With video you can probably just copy half a dozen files off and immediately free up many GB.
Note that this isn't just a matter of convenience. OSX makes lots of temporary files and is doing it all the time. If it can't find space for those files it can result in a serious drive crash and that could cost you several hundred dollars in recovery expenses. A Sig indicates, you need space just for computer operation. I feel the % recommendation is a bit vague since people use drives ranging from 10 - 1000 GB in size. My computer regularly uses 6GB of hard drive space for temporary files, and I like to leave wriggle room, so I usually leave at least 15-20GB. You can check the temporary file usage by looking at VM in Activity monitor.
As BDaqua observes, having a crowded drive also slows down your computer. If it has to hunt for nooks and crannies in which to place bits and pieces of bigger files that takes time. Normally one does not have to worry so much about fragmentation of files on a Mac, but your scenario of working with large files on a really crowded drive may be defying that generalization.

    The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

  • Can't clear deleted events from my hard drive

    I guess I'm pretty new at this. I deleted a few events by hitting the delete key but my hard drive is still nearly full. I can't find them now under events or rejected clips or in my movie folder at all. I guess I need to learn how to delete them properly. But how do I now find those (now seemingly hidden) files and delete the properly?

    It's not that. My trash can is empty and re-emptying it doesn't help. The files are apparently hidden from my sight so I don't know how to select them and delete. I tried to do a word search for the title, but that also brings nothing. I had 44 gigs free before this new movie event and now I have only 5 gigs free. So it's got to be somewhere.

  • Can I save all my emails to hard drive at once?

    I use email through a web hosting service (IMAP) and view and file the emails with Mail. Is there a way I can download or extract all my emails from Mail at once and save them to my harddrive?

    Hi Casuarina,
    If the email is being downloaded onto the computer time machine will backup the mail. The easy way to access it is open mail, then click on time machine on the dock. This is of corse assuming time machine is successfully backing up to an external hard drive or time capsule.
    If your using an IMAP account, you can copy your mail to the computer by:
    1) create a mailbox on your computer
    bottom left hand corner of the mail window click on the "+"
    change the location to "on my mac"
    add a descriptive name like "email on mac"
    click the "Ok" Button
    2) while holding down option, drag your messages onto "email on mac" or what ever you called the mailbox. you can drag one message or many messages.
    Note if you do not hold down option, your message will be deleted from the server. so it's very important to do so. AND edit, undo will not undo this action.
    FYI you can use archive, but if your doing to do this on a regular basic archive creates lots of redundancy. Sure you can delete the old archives, but then you run the risk of loosing messages to corruption.

  • In itunes, can i save my music on another hard drive other than C?

    i have the program installed on my computer, i would like the music to be saved on another hard drive other than C, is there a way to do that within itunes?

    You can have multiple libraries, and switch between them using the shift-start-iTunes method. Normally a single library is all that is required. Each library connects to a single designated media folder, however you can import content from other locations if you choose. See Make a split library portable for reasons why this may not be the best approach. If you want to access the "same" library on more than one machine then you need to clone the library files as well as media.

  • Can you save ibooks contents to external hard drive

    Hi, can you save the contents of ibook (or Ibooks) to an external hard drive. Any help would be good. Many thanks

    Not like you can with iTunes, if that is what you mean. But you can simply drag-n-drop the eBook from iBooks to the external HDD.

  • I need to get a file out of my documents to a colleague but can't email or save it to an external hard drive....what do I do??

    I saved a document on my MacBook Air and need to save it to an external hard drive. I've also tried emailing the document, but it was not successful. I need to get this document to a colleague ASAP but cannot get it out of my documents. Please help!!

    I tried dragging and dropping but it won't do it (or to a USB thumb drive). I was finally able to email it, but I still need to get it to my external hard drive. Think I will be taking it to an apple store. Thanks for the help!

  • I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

    I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
    Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

    I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
    Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
    Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
    And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

  • How can I save a PDF file sent to me in an attachment to my iPhone 5s

    How can I save a PDF file or word file sent to me as an attachment directly to my iPhone 5s so if I want to read it I don't have to dig into my ail every time?

    You will need to select the attachment and open in another app.  If you do not have any apps that support PDF, Adobe reader for iOS is free.
    For MS word files, you will need an app that supports those, like Documents to Go. 
    There is not generic file storage area in iOS, so you need to "open in" an app that supports that file type so that app can then add the file to its sandboxed local storage area.
    If you need to markup the PDF, some good apps are GoodReader, iAnnotate, PDF Expert, GoodNotes - there are numerous others as well in the App Store.

  • How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

    How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

    OS X cannot natively write to a drive formatted as NTFS, nor can it format a drive as NTFS. There are third-party NTFS drivers available on the market.
    Just out of curiosity: Even with NTFS, how is your TV going to access the external hard drive? Does the TV have a USB port?
