15.47gb movie won't go onto a 64gb memory stick?

I have a 64gb memory stick that has 37gb available storage left. The Quicktime movie won't copy over and I get a message that says 'it is too large for the volume's format' and then it doesn't copy over. This is very frustrating as I don't have a lot of storage left on my MacBook and the extra 15gb would be useful. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know. I don't want to have to restore the memory stick because I have other files on there that I don't have saved anywhere else. Thank you.

The key part of the error message is "for the volume's format" (as opposed to "for the space available"). Sounds like the memory stick is in the "FAT32" file system format, which limits the size of a single file to just under 4GB.
More modern file systems (including HFS+ on Macs, NTFS on Windows, and exFAT) support larger files, but changing the file system format for your memory stick would destroy the 27GB of files already on it, as you noted.
Your best solution would be to acquire another memory stick and format it as HFS+ if you plan to use it only on Macs or exFAT is you also want to access it from Windows systems. Better still, get two and use one to make backup copies of this movie file and the files on your old memory stick that you say you don't have saved anywhere else.

  • How do I move my photos from iPhoto to a memory stick

    How do I move all of the photos in iPhoto to a memory stick. I want to keep them in a different physical location for safe-keeping.

    Format the memory stick first.
    This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice, which should also apply here:
    You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Movies won't load onto iTunes! Please help me, desperately seeking advice

    Hey all.
    I just bought a new macbook and new 60g iPod and can't watch movies on my pod.
    I try to move them into iTunes and nothing happens, won't drag and drop, won't work if I try import or try to crtl click open with. Just zero happens. I have also tried converting them with iSquint into ipod compatible movies and still nothing. They just won't go anywhere near iTunes. It simply acts as though nothing has happened.
    However, my friend was able to put videos onto my ipod from his old iBook.
    So frustrating, i bought this new computer so things would work properly and so far not so good.
    I have iTunes 7.0.1 and current ipod updater installed on iTunes
    Could someone please help me before I tear my hair out!!

    What you need to do is download a movie file converter to convert your movies to mp4 which is the ipod format. I use one called "ipodvideoconverter" just google it and you'll find one that works. Just a heads up though... it usually takes 3-5 hours to convert a 2 hour movie.

  • Put photos onto windows formatted memory stick from mac

    anyone know how to without formatting the drive and losing all the other pics, and how do i make all my photos on my mac unlocked? on the title bar when i preview them it says locked but on the info menu u the locked is not checked

    An iPod formatted for Mac won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. There are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, these for instance get good reviews:
    MacDrive

    Thank you for your reply,
    When I click 'view' , I can "show inspector". From the table tab, I can pull up the "Format". [See below]. I don't see the "Arrange" or "Object Placement Move with Text"
    Right now I have the Wrap Text On. When I take it off, It messes up my rows [see second image].
    All I want is for my column to flow onto the second page.
    Your assistance is genuinely appreciated.

  • First Video won't import onto ipod...

    I got my first video ever and downloaded just fine and all, but it won't import onto my ipod. Every time it will act like it's doing it and the load bar moves to the end, but then a message shows after it's finished.
    This is what it says:
    Attempting to copy to the disk,(ipods name)failed. Can not be read from or written to.
    If you could please help me out. I'm not sure what is wrong and I think that my free apple phone support has expired?

  • I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

    I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
    All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it  just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
    Can anyone please help me.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks

  • I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
    Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
    Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
    If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
    Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

  • My music won't download onto my phone ever since I got ios7

    I have a bunch of song i just got from the internet and they're in my library on itunes but won't sync onto my phone. I've tried syncing my phone about 7 times now and nothings changing.

    I'm having the same issue. Went out and bought 6 CD's only to find that Itunes and/or iOS7 was too full of issues to be able to sync them onto my phone. Been trying for a week, converted the albums to AAC files, tried importing them directly to my phone, reset my music library. All in all i think it's safe to say that I'm not sure why i expected iTunes to actually work in the first place :/

  • I purchased a season of a TV show from itunes and it won't go onto my ipad, i've purchased several seasons in the past and never had this issue, how can i fix this?

    I purchased a season of a TV show from itunes and it won't go onto my ipad, i've purchased several seasons in the past and never had this issue, how can i fix this?

    Drew how is that even possible? I use gift cards all the time, any time I've had insufficient funds iTunes will not allow the purchase, sights Insufficient funds and rejects the purchase. Any time I log into my account the money in that account appears in the upper left corner. If you're not seeing that then you have other issues. Anyway... Kneil is right you should be able to rip CDs you own to your iTunes library (regardless of your money matters with iTunes), then depending on how you set up the music you need to add it to your playlist and then sync it to your iPod. Did imported music ever work? How are you ripping or importing the music to iTunes? Are you using a compatible format?
    Something else to look at-- It's possible your cable is defective, have you tried a new or different cable? Some of what your describing is a bad cable issue. Good luck, Cheers.
