Disk full error, but not even close!! Please help.

I recently moved my I-Tunes music folder to an external hardrive on my network. Everything has been functioning great, but when I tried to make a purchase from the Itunes store today, I get the following message when trying to donload:
**The disk you are attmpting to use is full**
However, my preferences show the new location, which has over 150 GB available. I have not had any trouble adding to my library from other sources. My laptop has over 14 GB available, same as my Ipod. I cannot see where the source of the problem is. I have tried:
*restarting Itunes
*restarting my machine
*repairing my disk permissions (based on another thread)
None of these have eliminated the message and allowed download. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Itunes 7.0.1

I don't understand it either, and I didn't study the problem at all after I got it working. I've read accounts of people experiencing this with varying amounts of space available, so I'm pretty sure it isn't directly related to the exact amount leftover (maybe it has to be above a threshold for the problem to occur at all...). Also, 200GB, while a nice even number in decimal form, isn't anything special in two's complement binary.
I'll assume that you are using the most current version of iTunes (7.0.2 I believe), so this confirms that the problem has not been repaired since I experienced it (7.0). So it is a lingering bug. I did experience the same oddness where I could download podcasts, but it was failing with videos. At the time I assumed it had to do with some arbitrary limit, and that the podcasts were small enough to remain under it. Now, I think it has to do with some state that is stuck in iTunes, and gets reset when something happens with the volume's filesystem.
Anyway, if following the above linked advice doesn't help in your situation, I'm at a loss for what else to try. I guess rebuilding your library may be worth a try. On a few occasions I've had to run "consolidate library". You could try that (if you are using the option to organize your files). It won't damage any of your settings.
On your last point, absolutely correct. Sorry about that, but that's my point of view.
Good luck.

I am getting a Photoshop CC "scratch disk full" error, but my scratch disk is C:/ and I have 40 gigs of free space - help!?!

Why is Photoshop giving me this error when I'm not working on files that are that big given the amount of free space on my computer? They're around 1.5 megs each, .jpeg files (not even PSD files) and I'm only trying to resize them to smaller, nothing fancy at all. Can't even open and do one without getting the scratch disk full error - but it's not full when I look at my C:/ drive (even in PS when I check the scratch disks under Preferences you can see the multiple gigs free).
Help anyone?
Thanks!
C

The rule of thumb I follow to figure out scratch space says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open. I have seen the scratch file exceed 800 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS. I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.
Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.

Hi, i just updated my iphone 3gs to iso5 now it will not activate ive ''try again'' alot but not getting anywere please help!!

hi, i just updated my iphone 3gs to iso5 now it will not activate ive pressed ''try again'' alot but not getting anywere please help! i need my phone for work not had it too long and really annoyed lol thanks,

Sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS.
Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any device.
Note that you will void the warranty and loose official support by Apple.
Feel free to let Apple know at http://www.apple.com/feedback
Anyway, give a try resetting all your settings:

IPod recognised by computer but not by iTunes, Please Help!!

When i connect my iPod to my computer, the 'do not disconnect' screen appears , and my ipod is shown in 'my computer', but not on iTunes please can anyone help and give suggestions. All replies are gratefully appreciated.

Peter,
Peter. I had the same problem (only after installing 5.0.1). The only solution I found to work was to uninstall 5.0.1 and install the previous version that came on the packaged disk.
Something I noticed, however, is that you can still download and successfully run the most recent iPod updater software. The 9/23/05 iPod updater release works just fine with iTunes 4.7., but it would not recognize the iPod when running 5.0.1 (iPod service error). There is clearly a commong problem with many Windows users with the 5.0.1 release. Don't know if it's a bad iPod service script or what...but it doesn't work for a lot of users (although I, too, had access to the iPod as an external drive in explorer). Haven't seen anything from Apple on it, though.
Would like to see this fixed, soon!

Not enough disk space error - but not rea

I have a Nomad Jukebox 3 - no really. It runs like a champ!? I use it most often for recording 44KHz audio. I just did the auto-update thing for the mediasource and plugins, blah blah blah. Now I can't sync a large recording (about .4GB)?to my computer. It gives me this error:?There is not enough disk space at the destination for this transfer. this is obviously a bug because it was working before the update. Please HELP!!

I have the same problem - a Jukebox 3 which usually refuses to transfer files over about a gig.
My old system disk was 30Gb, and it always worked OK with that, but when I reinstalled everything on a 20Gb disk, I got problems. I slightly suspect it may get confused when it checks for disk space by a disk that's a lot bigger than was available back when the Jukebox 3 came out. If anyone knows how to fix this I'd be most grateful - last time I had to record the audio in through my soundcard!

Upon opening a new tab, it auto selects the address bar. Also when closing firefox, you must wait 5 seconds before re-opening or you get an error saying it's already open but not responding. Please help!

Please help with this annoying problem - the firefox main start page that runs off google accel. should set it to the dialog box to search so you can begin typing A.S.A.P
Same with other websites like bing and google.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Try to wait a bit longer before reopening Firefox to give Firefox more time to close completely.
Try to use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

IPod nano (5th gen.) being recognized by computer (Windows XP) but not iTunes. Please Help.

Hello everyone,
When I plug in my iPod nano 5th generation, my computer is recognizing it, but iTunes is not. I just recently bought it off of a friend and it was working perfectly. Today is the first time that it wouldn't connect to iTunes. I have tried using different USB ports and that didn't work. I plugged in my sister's iPod Touch and it worked fine. I don't want to have to try to uninstall/reinstall iTunes for fear of loosing some of the information on there. I have also read several things that say that that doesn't work, so I don't see any reason to take a pointless risk. If there is anything that I can do to get it to work? I would try another computer, but my home computer is the only one that I have. I really need to get it to work ASAP. PLEASE HELP!!

If you check other error problems linked to this issue (example errors 1437 and 1439), you will note that these recognition issues have been prevalent for a lot of iPods (not only nanos and suffles) since iTunes version 7.5 went away. Seems like Apple doesn't have a clue, and doesn't want to have a clue. Many people all over the world have come up with things that have worked for them, but none of those fixes are working for me any more. Maybe this is just Apple's way of forcing people to buy their brand computers. It stinks. I am at a total loss as to what to do to get my Nano recognized at all in iTunes, and my Shuffles to sync. Obviously we are all venting our frustrations on an Apple hosted discussion board. Equally obvious is that no one at Apple is reading this stuff, further displaying that Apple simply does NOT CARE.
If I ever in the next couple of years or so (see, I am not very optimistic) get an HONEST answer out of Apple, or a workable solution elsewhere around the internet, I'll do a follow-up post here. But, I am not very hopeful. I think my iPods have just become expensive chunks of junk, because I am NOT going to buy an Apple computer just for them.

Can connect to network but not internet. Please Help!!!!!!!!!

I have a Thinkpad T-60p and have encountered a serious problem; I am unable to connect to the internet. The Thinkpad will recognize and connect to wireless networks but when I go to actually open a webpage it does not open. I spent hours troubleshooting the problem to no avail. My other laptop connects to the internet fine, so I do not think it is an issue with my router or modem. I also went to my neighbors and I was unable to connect to the internet even though I could connect to his network; once again my second computer does not have a problem. I tried what I could in the Thinkvantage wireless software but I am not that familiar with it. When I use the test connection option it just reads, “unable to connect to internet” but I have a strong signal to my network. I then tried a wired connection directly to my cable modem and my neighbors; once again it showed that I have a connection, but still will not connect to the internet. I tried disabling my Firewall and Virus software and still could not connect. I have shutdown, unplugged and reset everything. I still receive the same results. I am not sure what has happened, I have not installed any new software or hardware recently. The computer has been working great up until this morning. I ran my virus software and a free online scan as well, nothing had been detected. I called tech support and they said it was a software issue to either pay $100 for help or post in the forum. The only other option I can think of is a complete systems restore, which I am trying to avoid. Anyone have any suggestions?
Please Help,
P.

I will try that when I get home from work, thank you for the advice. However,I did notice that when it attempts to connect it shows the IP Address in the IE window bottom left corner. In the past it would always read connecting to "website name" but since the problem started it shows the IP address instead of the actual name.

Getting error "Statement not accessible"! Please help!

We upgraded from 4.6C to ECC6.0 and some warnings in 4.6C are "syntax errors" in ECC6.0! I have the following code:
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B4 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-T04.
UNIX_SINGLE 'MYPAR1' MYPAR3 P_BDWAVE TEXT-SS3.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B4.
UNIX_SINGLE is a macro. I found some information on this error here but could not relate my problem to any of those forums! Could someone please help! Any answers will be rewarded.
Thanks.

TS3694 HELLO m not able restore my iphone 5 showing error (1) not minus one please help me out.

hELLO Mnot able restore my iphone5 getting error (1) not a minus one please letme help please,

hello yak-yak, no excuses needed. Your questions are clear enough, well done!
There a LOT of people having problems with the giant step forward (forward?) of iOS7 and the step must be even bigger coming from iOS5.
There are hundreds of extra settings in iOS7 and they are often placed in another group... requires an extended study .
a. People are having "technical" problems, like battery depleting fast, no EiFi, no mobile connection, and so on.
b. People are having perception problems, dizziness, low contrast, small lettering, etc.
c. People are having problems finding their way in the settings, as you have.
Especially the b category problems are annoying.
I can only suggest that you make yourself comfortable and study all settings, then make yourself even more comfortable and attack the irritatng issues, you can start reading here for that:
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/ios-7-problems/
on which site you find several approaches for some problems in all the three categories.
BTW the error 3194 did it come back?

IPod visible in Windows but NOT in iTunes - please help!

I just got this sexy black iPod. Too bad I can't use it! Please help!
Here's what I've done thus far to try to troubleshoot why Windows sees my iPod but iTunes does not:
-went through the 5 R's (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/) Did this twice with NO luck! I obviously was not able to do the fifth R (restore) since iTunes never saw my sexy black iPod.
-reinstalled iTunes many times (restarted the service, deleted temp files etc)
-went through these steps: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
-made sure that Terminal Services is set to Manual (in services)
-made sure the the black thing was not on 'hold'
-hit menu & select for 10 seconds
-tried on a different PC with a fresh copy of WinXP Pro installed. Same thing! Windows sees the iPod but iTunes does not.
-I ran the diagnostic and it says that my iPod is connected! What!? No it's not!
It also seems kind of slow, however, I don't have anything to compare this to.
I'm beginning to think that my iPod is iBroken. I'm very iDissapointed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have the exact same problem with the same sexy black iPod. Let me know if someone helps you out. Sorry I don't have a solution. I'll keep you posted.
