Trying to install ios on iPhone 4 but not enough space on c: drive on XP PC?

but itunes tells me i`ve not enough space on c:drive on XP PC? can I move the cache file/temp file to another drive where it has more free space??
If it only gave me the option where to back it up to and download the software to, I could point it to somewhere with loads of free gigs. ARGH can anyone help?

I would recommend deleting contents off your hard-drive to make space (how much is left..you should be having 15% free as a general practice) and backing up the phone prior to upgrading.

    Trying to upgrade iPad software to newest version. It downloads but stops while backing up and says not enough space on hard drive to back up if i continue all media on iPad will be lostor deleted.  Can I get it back after upgrade by just synching or can I set it to backup to an external drive?  Thanks for any help.  I only use the laptop for itunes now as it has such little space left.

  • Trying to install photoshop2 for message indicating not enough space on Mac HD

    The cd does not install when I have plenty go space

    What version of OS X is your iMac running.
    If your OS X version is OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion, Paintshop 2 will NOT be able to be installed because this version is an older version that ran on older PowerPC Macs. The code that was needed to run this on newer Intel Macs was part of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard only. This was PowerPC code emulator called Rosetta.
    This software no longer exists under OS X 10.7 or 10.8, so there is no way to install and run this software.
    You would need to upgrade this software to run under newer versions of OS X or find new alternatives that run under your current OS X version.
    Alternatives are
    Printshop 3.5
    Printshop Pro

  • Setting up but not enough space on external drive, it says

    I want to back up work files rather than the whole of my hard disc. In Time Machine preferences, I've indicated for it not to back up (library, system files, applications) which leaves a total of 64.2gb to fit onto a 80gb drive. When the process starts, it tells me there's 76gb to transfer onto a drive with a capacity of 74gb.
    Do I need to knock out more files from what needs to be copied or get a bigger drive or have i indicated vital files not to be copied that need to.
    Thanks
    BB

    Your 80GB drive is actually not 80GB as far as OS X is concerned. This has to do with how 1GB/1MB/1kB/1byte is defined. See for instance here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte
    Note that TM normally requires 2 or even 2,5 times the size of the data to be backed up for the initial backup.
    As for files not needed to be included, see for instance here:

  • I'm trying to install iOS 5.0 but getting message that my computer does not have sufficient space to backup my iPad; continuing will result in loss of all media on iPad. I was going to install iCloud but it seems that you have to have iOS 5.0, help?

    i'm trying to install iOS 5.0 but getting message that my computer does not have enough space to backup my iPad and continuing will result in loss of all media on iPad.  an option seemed to be backing up on iCloud, but i think you have to have iOS 5.0 to install iCloud.
    how do i install iOS 5.0 without losing anything on my iPad?

    If you really do not have enough space on your HDD for a backup of your iPad, you do not have enough space at all. Free up at least 15% of your HDD, in any case more than 0.8GB for the iPad update.
    Make backups on an external disk.
    After freeing up enough space, try again.

    Find My Phone requires iCloud, which requires iOS 5.0 or higher. So, if you want to use Find My Phone, you need to update your phone. Follow the directions here:

    Actually, I've found that I can sync tones I made of up to at least 40 seconds (0:40 minutes). A 50-second tone would not sync, but a 40-second tone would. Voila!

  • I'm trying to instal ios 5.1 but it doesn't work

    I'm trying to instal ios 5.1 but it doesn't work can yoiu help me

    I got 5.1 installed late last night (East Coast time).  I also downloaded the new iPhoto app.  It was a little slow for both downloads (3-4 minutes), but both completed just fine.
    James is right, the servers are likely experiencing high traffic volume.  Give it some time for the traffic to decrease and the download should proceed smoothly.

  • Need to upgrade OS, but not enough space on HD

    I just exported a ton of photos to an external hard drive, thinking that was the bulk of my files taking up space on my hard drive.  I need to upgrade to OS 10.6.3 (I have 10.5.8 right now), but when I try and install, it says there's not enough space.
    When I click on my hard drive, it says that there's a capacity of 74.21 GB with an available space of 3.28 GB.  How do I find out what files or applications are taking up the most space?  What are the most likely offenders?  I really thought cleaning up photos was going to fix the issue, but it didn't go up in free space at all! 
    Thank you for your help!

    Download and use OmniDiskSweeper. It will tell you the files and folders that are using the most space.
    With only 3 GB of free space, your system is severely short of free space. Your free space should be at least 10 GB.
    Once you increase your free space and before you do any upgrade be sure to repair your disk. With the free space run so low there is every chances that the disk is now corrupt. Doing an upgrade with a corrupt disk is a sure way to have problems after the upgrade.
    Also it is necessary to backup before you do the upgrade.

  • IPad say 3.2gb available,but not enough space to back up to iCloud ?

    iPad say 3.2gb available of 5gb,but not enough space to back up to iCloud .Whats going on?

    iCloud is off-site storage. You get 5GB free. To backup, you need at least the amount used on your iPad. You have to purchase the additional space over the free 5GB.

  • I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one.  Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not enough space?

    I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one.  Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not there is not enough space for both files files? Do I need to do something to have it continue to update my old file instead of recreating a new one?

    Depending on what version of OSX you're running, and how the data was transferred, you may be out of luck.
    If you're running Lion, and your backups were made to a directly-connected external HD (ie, not a Time Capsule or other network location), you may be able to get Time Machine to "associate" the new disk with the old backups.  See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, especially the pink box there.
    If you're running Snow Leopard, you might be able to do a full system restore of your backups to the new HD.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for detailed instructions.  That should leave a "trail" that Time Machine can follow to "associate" the new drive with the old backups.  Unfortunately, that doesn't always work, and there's no way to do it manually, as there is with Lion.

  • How do i install ios 8.1.2 without enough space?

  • I've upgraded my MacPro but not enough space to do so on my 5s and iPad.  Should  I take both back to original settings and allow the update?

    Not a techie here...please advise on best method to update 5s and iPad Air.

    To clarify:  I have a 16g iPhone 5s and an iPad 32g and both are due for current Yosemite updates.  I successfully completed Yosemite update for MacPro.  I attempted to delete photos and music from both of the former in order to allow the download, however, still not enough space.  Also removed some apps that weren't being used.  Still not enough space.  So I thought perhaps taking both devices to original straight-from-the-box state might allow for easiest updates to download.

  • (PC) iTunes Music Library won't sync with my iPhone 4, not enough space?

    I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right "Community area"?? If I'm in the wrong area, please point me in the right direction.
    I am getting this Error Message coming up on PC:
    The iPhone "UserName's iPhone" cannot be synced because there
    is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library
    (additional 513.13 MB required).
    My phone is a 16G.
    I currently have 13.15GB of music on my physical iPhone.
    I have deleted all songs (except purchased ones) on my iTunes Library (on the PC), I now have it down to 107 songs.
    When I go to [Settings], [Music] and choose [Sync Music, Entire music library], it comes up with the error message above.
    How do I get rid of all songs on my iPhone except for my purchased ones so I can have room on my phone again?
    I tried to use a program called 'TouchCopy 12' a while ago but it has really confused me and I have doubled up on some songs?
    Help!
    Thanks in advance...

    It is possible that iTunes is slightly confused by what is and is not already on the device. In such cases it may think there isn't enough room when there should be. These steps will usually resolve such an issue:
    Backup device.
    Restore as a new device.
    Restore the backup made earlier.
    You should copy off the contents of the camera roll first unless you have Photo Stream set up and it reliably captures everything. It also assumes that all media content on the device is in your library. If that might not be the case see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • Cannot restore backup to iphone because not enough space when i have 4 GB free?

    Everytime I try restoring my iphone from backup it never works properly. This time, I get an error message when trying to restore from backup that says I don't have enough space, but I have 4GB of free space left. Why is this happening?
