Aperture Vault Does Not Read Drive Space Correctly

Aperture 3 Vault does not read the disk space correctly on my newly formatted LaCie 500GB drive, and produces an error message that says there is not enough space to update the vault.
Finder and Disk Utility both indicate that the drive is completely empty. Any help in resolving this problem will be appreciated.

Just some thoughts
1. Check ownership on the drive, everyone can read and write. (& it is MacOS formatted)
2. Check the permissions in your library, it is possible that there is a file with a permissions conflict (only attributable to the fact that computers are programmed by human)

    Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB external hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.

    It will likely require replacement of the drive. There is more than one laser in there: one for each function. One can go bad without the other going bad.

    Above is the part number for the DVD burner drive. I could not find one on eBay.  Here is one online:

    Replacement is easy. Remove a single screw on the bottom and slide the old drive out and replace with the new drive.

  • Hard Drive does not have enough space/error message

    Hello: I am new to Mac but have been having trouble with my iMac for a while. I can no longer download my software updates. I have an error message that states "Your hard drive does not have enough space" - 5.7 GB is required.
    I only have a 1 GB machine. What am I doing wrong?
    When I go to my Macintosh HD icon on the desktop, it says at the bottom of that window that I have 495.9 MB available.
    The error message tells me to go to the Startup file to delete items. I go there, but there's only two files. I do have music/photos/but I do not understand what's going on with my computer.
    In addition, it turns itself off often, for no apparent reason. Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    J.Renee

    The error refers to space on your hard drive, not memory. Unless you've mis-typed, if you have only 495.9 MBs free on your hard drive then you are definitely out of space. If you continue operating with so little free space you are risking a catastrophic loss of data.
    To free up space you will either need to delete unneeded personal files or copy some of your bigger files off to an external hard drive then delete them from your internal drive. Alternatively you can replace the internal drive with a larger drive.
    You should maintain no less than 15 GBs or 15% of the hard drive's capacity as free space whichever is greater.
    If you meant to type 495.9 GBs then you may have a corrupted disk directory. Try the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Hello, Trying to run Bootcamp on my 15" Macbook Pro (Maverick).60 gig available on my computer's hard drive and 250 gig on a separate hard drive that I have attached which is single partitioned. Keeps saying "The startup disk does not have enough space"

    Hello,
    I'm trying to run Bootcamp on my 15" Macbook Pro (Maverick). I have 60 gig available on my computer's hard drive and have 250 gig on a separate hard drive that I have attached, which is single partitioned (MS-DOS FAT). It keeps saying "The startup disk does not have enough space, you must have 28 gig of free space available" Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for the advice Bob The Fisherman. I'm just reading what turbostar has kindly written and it appears that perhaps, if I take advice from you both, I need to free more space up on the computer's hard drive?
    With the external hard drive; would it be advisable to defragment? Know of any defrag freeware for Mac OSX?
    Many thanks to you both.

  • My backup hard drive does not have enough space for time machine to perform a back up even after erasing entire contents of bu hard drive

    My backup hard drive does not have enough space for time machine to perform a back up even after erasing entire contents of bu hard drive.  The hard drive has been in service for almost two years performing this function with no sign of failure.  How do I adjust time machine perameters?

    The only way to limit the size of the backup is to exclude data from the backup, which you can do in Time Machine preferences.
    If you use multiple browsers, have you tried clearing your browser caches? However, that's just a stop gap if it works. You either need to limit what you backup or get another drive.

  • I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Mac

    I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Machine, there are only about 5 backups recorded on the ext. hard drive. There were many more before. Any idea what happened and if I have to buy a new back up hard drive?

    Hallo  Kieth ,
    I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
    Thanks for your interest and advice.
    regards  - Alan

  • CD/DVD drive does not read all DVD formats and regions

    Hi
    My Teac-dw-224e-a does not read all DVDs formats and regions.
    It does read CDs but no DVDs at all.
    Not DVD-R and not even regular DVDs. I have checked the region of the DVD.
    I have reinstalled the driver and also tried with different software.
    What can I do?
    Please help!

    Hi
    It is possible that your DVD drive has wrong region settings.
    In this case it is not able to watch all possible DVD movies from different regions.
    Of course you can change the settings 4 times. But after this changing the settings are fixed and its not possible to change it anymore.

  • Tecra M5: DVD drive does not read these mini DVDs

    I have canon dvd handycam, and mini dvd works on it. One month back i recorded movie and pictures on mini dvd using handycam and ran mini dvd on my tecra M5 dvd drive, it worked very fine.
    Now after 1 month i have 5 mini dvds with movies and pictures which i took on 1 month vacation in diffierent countries, i tried my best but tecra dvd drive does not read these mini dvd, cd drive label appears instead dvd drive when i put mini dvd in it.
    All other standard size dvds, cds working fine on it.Its complicated and as well as irritating.
    Any suggestions?
    Why its messedup?

    Seems the lens cannot read this miniDVDs. Possibly the drive lens cannot calibrate and therefore the miniDVDs are nonreadable.
    Try the solution from sascha. Maybe youre a lucky man and it works.
    If not, try to remove the drive physically from the notebook. Reboot the notebook without the drive. The Windows and BIOS shouldnt recognize the drive.
    Then shuts down again, put the drive into the notebook and boot up the unit.
    The notebook should recognize the drive and should indicate the firmware again.
    Im not sure if this will help you but its attemptable

  • Exfat drive does not free up space after deleting files

    My external exfat formatted drive does not free up space after deleting files using a mac....however if I delete files using a PC, it will free up space.
    I've even tried the *erase free space* using Disk Utility, but nothing.....
    Thoughts/Suggestions??

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I ran WhatSize and here is the result. Oddly, it says there is 40.2 GB used (in the top-left) which conflicts with the information directly below it: "Capacity 108 GB, Used 103GB, Available 4.27 GB". Not so helpful.
    Disk Inventory X solved the problem, however. Much thanks! I wasted most of my weekend troubleshooting this sad issue. Anyway, Disk Inventory X revealed a bug where my external hard drive for photos was still appearing as a mounted volume, even though the HD was no longer connected. Freaky.
    After moving it to the trash and deleting it, I've recovered the space.
    Again, thanks! Contact me if you're curious about the details, as this might help you diagnose similar problems in the future.

  • Updating Aperture vault will not complete, Aperture quits unexpectedly.

    I have a continuing and recurring problem updating Aperture vault after the current Aperture update.  The problem also occured after the last update.
    Updating the vault does not complete and Aperture quits unexpectedly.  This frequently leads to repair to the Aperture library being required.  The only solution i have found is to create a new vault.  Time consuming and a frustrating waste.  I have reloaded Aperture and made updates.  This has not solved the problem.  I have checked permissions.  Nothing wrong there.
    My vault and Aperture library are on seperate external drives.

    i am experiencing the very same problem updating my vault. Have tried about a half dozen times, creating new vaults (some work some dont) and updating existing vaults (never works). My managed library is 418GB on an external raid array. I have previously created a vault successfully on an external La Cie drive, but then the update failed. After repeated attempts I can not create a new one without Aperture crashing -- which leads to a multi hour repair session. Very very frustraing.
    Can someone from Apple comment on whether this is a known bug? What is the work around? Smaller libraries?
