Can't sync as not enough room in itunes? what's that all about?

I've just tried to sync my iphone to do a back up (hasn't been done in ages) as my new iphone should arrive tomorrow.  It did all its syncing (I thought) then gave me the message that there wasn't enough room (in itunes) and it wasn't able to sync. As it's on its last legs I really need this backup to transfer everything to my new phone. Please help! Thanks very much Sally

Looking at previous comments on this subject I've managed to solve the problem myself by deleting apps off itunes and then deleting the same ones on my iphone. Had to do it a couple of times to get enough space but it seems to have worked.

  • Imovie 11 Can't Export Movies NOT ENOUGH ROOM IN THE HEAP ZONE!

    I have plenty of space on my hard drive, no other programs are running, and the video being exported is only 6 minutes and 57 seconds long.
    I am working on a short film and 90% of the time that I try and export it in 720 I get an error, because there is not enough room in the heap zone. Then after I restart the computer if I am lucky I can get it to export 1 out of 10 trys. It has nothing to do with the title I give the video.
    I need the video exported in 1080, but it gives me the same error EVERY TIME! Even when I export to quicktime and use various settings I keep getting the same heap zone error. What is the deal!?! I have exported an hour long documentary and didn't have this problem. I erased all my previous projects and events and still I get this error
    UNABLE TO EXPORT MOVIE
    The movie could not be exported because an error occurred. (Not enough room in the heap zone /)
    HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

    I have the same problem when trying to export a 720P movie to iTunes.  Reboot did not help nor did renaming the project.  I have an older MacPro with dual 3.0s, 11 Gb Ram and slightly less than 1Tb free space on the boot drive.  This is a software issue, not a hardware problem.  Apple please fix the myriad of problems with iMovie 11.   My productivity has ground to a halt with my 4 month old iLife Software.  How did this software ever pass muster!!!!!  I can't believe anyone would purchase the new version of Final Cut given the horrible product you've included with the last iLife Set.  This is an example of why I left the Microsoft Windows community.  SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!   I usually create 4 to 5 movies a month for the flying community I live in.  I have completed one since January, and it was a mess due to software glitches.   My attempt to re-render an old iMovie 9 creation has been met with failure.  I have projects backing up and really have no desire to finish them or create others as iMovie 11 is no longer fun since it is broken.   I'm tired of iPhoto 11 and iMovie crashing or not working and the reason for spending more on an Apple product no longer exists.  Outdated expensive hardware and buggy software.   Time to sell my APPL stock like Bob Mansfield,  You're ignoring your core supporters and are living off the hype of the iPhone/iPad.  The poor economy has allowed your "halo effect" to endure many recent short-comings - (Mobile Me (how slow and expensive can it be to stream a personal home movie - but don't worry you don't need Blu-Ray)), Mail (why do I keep getting duplicate emails in my drafts folder? and why is it always losing my password - just like Mail on my iPhone), Never providing a stable video card for 2006 Mac Pros, Crippled iPhone 4 for Verizon, no iPad Flash support, iLife Crapware)............where's the Tylenol!!!!!   I need it since I promised an iMovie project for a friend's memorial that I am now unable to deliver.

  • Cant sync says not enough room tried everything!

    hi
    just upgraded to a nano 4gb from a shuffle. i tried to sync songs from a playlist, about 300 songs, and it says not enough room.n i restored 4 times and dont know what i am doing wrong. how do you get one large playlist or several playlists of songs I have picked, playlists I want, on my nano?

    i dont even have 1000 songs, and only 200 on the playlists I selected. I selected to select my own playlists to sync and there are 4 playlists total of about 200 songs and I get the same message, not enough space, it says what I am selecting is 4.0GB and I have 3. whatever, but 200 songs is not that much.

  • Help - Can no longer sycn (not enough room error)

    I just moved a lot of audio books to my Audiobooks library (used make bookmarkable, then added them again and they showed up in the Audiobook library area of iTunes).
    I then plugged in my iPod. And now I'm getting the error dialog:
    The iPod "Blue iPod mini" connot be updated because
    there is not enough free space to hold all the items in
    the selected playlists.
    I did not add any new songs to any of the play lists I've selected for updating to the iPod. The only thing I added were those new Audiobooks. I also made sure the "Audiobooks" checkbox is unchechecked in the list under the music tab.
    Any suggestions? Can I just wipe the ipod and start over? I think its confused.
    On other note. Under DEVICES iPod, I see a Audiobooks item under the Music icon. In there I see an audiobook entry that I can not find in my iTunes. How can I get rid of it?
    Should I just do a "Restore" on the ipod and start over?
    Thanks,
    Alfredo

    *im having the same problem as hurricane44. does anyone know what to do?*
    i dont think my problem has to do with updating itunes because i just got my ipod and i always used this version itunes for it and it was working for a while.

  • Why can't you simply print a photo in iPhoto? It wants me to create a "theme" first? What's that all about?

    When I try to print in iPhoto it won't let me print without creating a "theme" first. Is there any way you can just print? I don't want a theme, I just want to print!

    "themes" are simply print protocols. Yes you can have some layout, but plain is also theme. At a wild guess you're getting  a "no theme installed message"?
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • My new iphone 5c does not have an "alarm" on the clock function.  My iphone 4 does and it works perfectly.  What's that all about?

    I recently purchased a new iphone 5c unlocked in the States and have moved to Doha, Qatar.  When I went to set the alarm in the clock function a message came up saying I didn't have an alarm on the clock.  This is strange as my iphone 4 does and it works fine.  How can I add this feature to my clock?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Why is my iPad and iPod not recognising connection to bt keeps noting not connected and to check incoming mail server what is that all about?

    I have upgraded to bt hub 4 but my iPod picks up a full signal then when opening safari it says cannot open as there is no connection but iPod showing full connection. I have upgraded to the latest software  can anyone help pleas ?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Pretty sure it doesn’t say there is not enough room in iTunes library because it is not backed up to the iTunes library.
    What is the exact message?

  • How do I restore error message when there's not enough room to sync?

    By default, iTunes displays an error message when there is not enough room on the iPod to store all the files that are scheduled for synchronization.
    This message also has a checkbox for "Do not remind me again" (or something to that effect). The other day, I stupidly checked this box, and now I don't know how to restore the default setting (i.e., to display the error message). Instead, iTunes just silently does nothing -- with no diagnostic -- if it finds that there's not enough room on my iPod to complete a sync.
    Any ideas?

    Right click on your iPod in iTunes and select the Reset Warning option.

  • Keep getting 'not enough room' on ipod when trying to copy from iTunes.

    Hi,
    With 60G iPod connected to PC, and iTunes automatically set to sync, I keep on getting 'not enough room on 'users-j' to copy all the requested files - even though I have plenty of disk spaces on the ipod.
    I have tried the following:
    - reset the ipod
    - restore the ipod to factory setting and erase all previous songs
    - selected to use as disk
    - tried manually to copy and automatically to sync
    - updated ipod and also using iTunes 7.0.2.16
    Still get the same msg with all of the above. And not a song gets successfully copied over. I had previously 355 songs in the ipod (before restoring).
    Any suggestion/help is appreciated.
    Thx. Jack.

    Thanks for that, deleted some music, to get 3Gb, then it copied over fine.
    The amount left seems wrong though as now only have 0.2Gb free? It was this that was the issue though, as tried again on another movie and it copied across, just strange on the amount free, maybe time for my iPhone to be wiped clean to start again?
    cheers

  • Not Enough Room To Update

    Really?
    You disagree with yourself, iTunes/iPhone/iOS/Updater.
    Oh ok. I'll go remove more stuff. Say, remove another GB.
    Nope. Still not enough room.
    OK. I removed ALL videos. Now 6.88 GB free. AAAAND... POW, BANG BOOM!
    Nuthin.
    Why you lying to me?

    Hello Sophie,
    It sounds like you are getting a prompt that your iCloud storage is full.  According to iCloud: Manage or buy more iCloud storage (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2615), there are different things that can contribute to you iCloud storage:
    Your iCloud account includes 5 GB of free storage for Mail, Documents, and your iCloud Backup. Your purchased music, apps, books, and TV shows, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t count against the 5 GB of free storage.
    If you have previously backed up your iPhone to iCloud, it may be set to continue backing up to iCloud and reaching the 5 GB limit, but you can turn this feature off.  Email sent to your iCloud account and documents stored on iCloud will also contribute toward 5 GB.  You can either purchase more iCloud storage or reduce what is being stored on iCloud by following steps in this article:
    iCloud: Managing your iCloud storage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847
    I hope this gets you back on track!
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • My rue la la app for ipad suddenly dosent work so I deleted it now when I try to reinstall it the app store says that it not available in the us. It is still on my Iphone and working properly. What is this all about?

    My rue la la app for ipad stopped working. I deleted the app and tried to reinstall it,  it is no longer available in the app store and when I research it on safari and find it when i try to install it says that it is not available in the us store. What is that all about?

    My app did the exact same thing. It is still unavailable on the App Store and when Rue La La's site directs you to download their app, the "not available in the U.S. message appears. This happened to me last night. The app wasn't working, I deleted it and was just going to reinstall but was unable to find the app. I figured it was some glitch but I have tried multiple times this afternoon to no avail.

    I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad.  Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room.  Now trying to get some pictures and music on.  Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway.  Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?"  So I hit cancel.  Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.
