  • I get error message: not enough space to download when I try to buy a tv series on Itunes. It tells me to delete photos or videos to make space, but I have no photos and videos. Help?

    I get error message: not enough space to download when I try to buy a tv series on Itunes. It tells me to delete photos or videos to make space, but I have no photos and videos. Help?

    I would guess that a TV series takes up a fair amount of storage capacity. It is just a standard message I think that may indicate that you are actually running low on storage space.
    If you go to Settings>General>About how many GBs are specified as being available?  If you are low on space maybe deleting some apps may help.

  • TS1702 Does any one know how to solve this iPod touch error: I am tryin to pay for an app but I can because it says that I don't have enough space when I actually have more than enough space to download it so please help me

    Does anyone know how to solve this problem: I a trying to download a paid app but I cannot because the AppStore says that info not have enough space to download it even though I have more than enough space so if any of you know what can solve this problem then please let me know

    The app is compressed and needs swap space to install. As a rule of thumb you need 3 times the listed size of the app available, or in your case 4.6GB. You only have 1.7GB.

    Rentals are a one-time only download from the store. If you can't free up enough space on your phone for it then you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they grant you a redownload for your Mac : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT4410 I have a new mac mini, do I have enough space to download Windows 7, and can I just download the software or purchase a disc?

    I have a new mac mini, do I have enough space to download Windows 7, and can I do it through online purchase or disc?  My bootcamp assistant mentions using a USB flash drive??? 

    Yes you do have enough storage, you only need let's say 10GB to properly install Windows with a few (very small) programs. You'd be best of just going to a store and buying a Windows 7 install DVD (not an upgrade one!), or using one that you might have laying around at home. You can also purchase Windows 7 via the Microsoft online store and than burn it to a DVD. It is possible that installing from a USB-drive works, but I have not tried this yet.

  • TS1702 how do i delete from the startup disk? I am trying to get Mountain Lion from the App store and it says that the purchase was not complete because i need 4.06 GB space to download OS x 10.8. and to remove items from my startup disk to increase space

    Thanks

    You can use iCloud with 10.7.5. You do not need to upgrade to Yosemite. You should provide a minimum of 15 GBs of free space or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • There is not enough disk space to download new messages. How can I backup my old emails onto my hard drive to create room for new message?

    When trying to download new email messages I receive an error "There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and compacting your mail folders, and then try again." I have emptied my trash, removed all the junk, deleted about 1gig worth of email and im still having problems.
    I have a ton of folders that I store all of my emails in, so that I can easily find older emails. This email has been working fine for me for about the pass 5-6 years and now I have problems. I would like to be able to back up my emails onto my hard drive so that I have them on hand. What is the best way to go about this? Because of my file structure I am not able to see all of my messages on one screen. Is there a way to select emails from a certain year?
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

    ''Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and'' '''compacting your mail folders'''
    If you did not compact the folders after marking the messages for deletion, you have not deleted anything.

  • I'm trying to install Mavericks and got this message: You need 4.94 GB of available space to download OS X Mavericks. Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space. How do I do this?

    I'm trying to install Mavericks and got this message: You need 4.94 GB of available space to download OS X Mavericks. Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space. How do I do this?

    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Look though other Apple Mail folders like the junk mail and delete the mail that is in there. Look through your sent items folders and see there is any mail in there that can be deieted.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
    This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • You need 3.54 GB of available space to download Mac OS X 10.7. Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space.

    i recently upgraded my memory to 2gb to support download of lion. i am now receiving this message when i try to download lion:
    You need 3.54 GB of available space to download Mac OS X 10.7. Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space.

    Hi, Rick.
    Your MacBook's hard drive is too full to accommodate Lion. How big is your hard drive, and how much space remains available on it?
    It sounds as if you may be confusing RAM with hard drive space.
    Check out this article on the subject:
    http://www.ehow.com/about_5452977_computer-memory-vs-storage.html
    It is generally recommended to keep a minimum of 15% of the total capacity of your hard drive as available space for smooth operation of your Mac.

    MAC Pro, error:You need 4.93 GB of available space to download OS X Mavericks. Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space.

    The startup disk is your hard drive, where you store all your programs and data. Probably named Mac HD in Finder. Read this:

  • There is not enough disk space to download new messages

    I'm running 24.3.0 - this morning I was able to receive messages until a couple of hours ago and started receiving error message 'There is not enough disk space to download new messages'. I deleted over half my messages but still got error message. I rebooted - no better so I checked Help site and followed:
    "Quit Thunderbird.
    Locate the global-messages-db.sqlite file in your Thunderbird Profile .
    Delete the global-messages-db.sqlite file. "
    and the Global Database rebuilt bit I still can't receive more messages. I'm running Windows 7 and have 200GB free on my C drive. What else can I do? My email is [email protected] but since I can't receive messages, send to my gmail account, [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Phil Bowling

    First of all, make sure you do have a backup of your profile.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Backing_Up_and_Restoring
    After deleting messages you should also compact folders.
    Assuming you deleted messages from Inbox, right-click Inbox - Compact.
    You should set-up Thunderbird to automatically compact folders.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Compacting_folders
    Also accumulating messages in Inbox isn't a good idea, keep your Inbox as tidy as possible.
