iMovie is gonna make me go insane. please help.
What do you want to do with the movie now that you have finished it?
You can either share it and export to executable (share>export) or finalize the project and open it in iDVD (share>media browser). Either way, the share often will work with much less memory usage than file>finalize. I had this problem recently, and I was about to throw the computer. The share to media browser worked perfectly because i then burned to a disc using iDVD. Not sure what you want to do with it, but I hope this helps,

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.

IMovie Exporting: "Not Enough Room In The Heap Zone"
Okay, I'm trying to export a video from iMovie '11 on OSX 10.8.4 on a Macbook Pro (without retina display). It is only 1:53.
Every time I try to export I get an error message:
"Unable to prepare project for publishing.
The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occured. (MemFullErr / iMemFullErr: Not enough room in the heap zone / )"
I have checked literally every forum post about this error and nothing has helped. I have over 700 GB of room on this computer, so there's enough memory for it to export for sure, and I'm not using special characters in the title. I'm trying to export in 720p. I exported a project 2 days ago (which was way longer than this one), in 720p, and it worked fine. I do not have time machine running.
It works when I export it in lower quality, but lower quality isn't good enough.
I've tried exporting it, exporting it with quicktime, publishing it to youtube, exporting it through the share menu, and renaming the project. Nothing is working.
I have not tried clearing the Cache yet, because I could not figure out how to do it. If you could explain how to clear the Cache in great detail, that would be awesome. (Also, if you have another solution, explain that as well.)
I am really frustrated with this problem.
If you could help me out, that would be amazing.
(Please do not link to another article, I've already looked at them all.)Trouble
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
• iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
• Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
• Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
• a codec is used that doesn't work
• problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
• version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
• preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
• other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
• External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
• USB-flash-memories do not work
• Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
• iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
• external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
• GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
• Screen must be set to million-colors
• Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
• Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
• Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
• Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
• In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)

I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it -

when I try to back up my iPad to the computer it gives me a message saying it can't sync and there is not enough room in iTunes library. How can I fix this? I need to back up iPad content to restore on a new one

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? -
When i sync my iphone it says that there is not enough room in my itunes library what do I do?
When I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes, it says that there is not enough room in my itunes library for my phone to sync. Why is this? Do I need to delete stuff off my library? Or is my laptop too full? Or is it that my phone hasn't got enough space? ...Or something else?
Why is this so difficult to figure out?
The message is quite clear. The size of the iTunes library is larger than the space available on the device.
Stop attempting to sync the entire library to the device.
Select the desired content to sync to the device.
Sync. -
I REALLY need help!!! My iPhone 4s is apparently OVER the amount of GB its supposed to have so it now will not even let me delete ANYTHING! Not my texts, apps- to free up space, NOTHING! It keeps kicking me off my email, wont let me get voicemail,see who last called on my "recents", wont let me send or receive text's or even let me change things in my settings. Now when I go to iTunes to sync, so I can try to free up space, iTunes sais there isn't enough space in its library for all my stuff so it WON'T sync either!!! I'm frozen and I have A LOT of VERY important stuff on my phone that I REALLY need! Can anyone tekk me what to do? PLEASE!!!!
First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

hope this helped you. -

Hi there,
Running Illustrator CS6 on a PC. Everytime I try to open a illustrator file from windows explorer the error written in the subject line come up. I resize the illustrator window to full screen, however upon opening the file again, the window shrinks and the same error comes up. I am still able to open files if I go file>open in the illustrator menu....
this is just a minor annoyance and want a solution to this problem please?Hi Ben,
Have updated Illustrator yet? I would suggest to first reset the preferences to see if that helps. Are you using a dual monitor display or any 3rd party plugins?

I'm running out of space on the bar that shows the usage split (how many gb's for apps photos, music etc) the yellow 'others' category seems to be taking up all the available space. This is happening after updating to ios6. I don't seem to be able to get the backup on my laptop to complete successfully. I'm also unable to get Music to work on the phone. The picture of the cloud appears on screen, sometimes the blue bar appears, but after a while it bombs out and nothing else happens. Any ideas?
It does not immediately delete the files that are missing.. it merely tries to backup the new files it has discovered on the external drive. Since you moved the files there, the backup at least for a while will contain both copies.. and that is why it doesn't have enough space to backup.
Fixing the problem.. hmm pondini is the expert.. you should be able to delete the backup of the photos in existing backup.. there are instructions to do it.. but it is a very poor way to do things.
Much better. .archive off the existing backup.. this is long and slow but worth it. you need a usb drive of the same size as the TC drive. Then erase the TC and start a fresh set of backups.
The alternative is to use the USB drive as a new target.. but it is much slower than the TC internal drive.

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.

I just bought my MacBookPro and IMovie keeps quitting automatically when I try to finalize or share a project. It keeps telling me I do not have enough "heap room/." What should I do so I can share and burn my project ASAP?
Hi
How much free space is there on Your Mac main Start-Up hard disk ? for
• SD-video - I never go under 25Gb
• HD-material used - I guess that x5 more would do.
Even as DVD is as standard SD-Video it needs space to scale down HD and Mac OS needs lot's for it's temp. files.
I do not "Finalize" or use "Share to iDVD" - but I do "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD or other resolution as this will degrade the final result)

I'm try to buy a movie from iTunes with my I pad 3 and it tells me there is not enough local storage and when I go to my local storage there is a lot on free storage I also restarted my ipad but still the same prob what do I do?
5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie. Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with. The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad. You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.
