Available space more than backup but cannot backup

Hi
For the last couple of days I have been getting this message:
"The backup is too large for the backup volume. The backup requires 2.3 GB but only 181.4 GB are available."
Last time I checked 2.3 was smaller than 181.4. I have compacted the sparsebundle (i.e. hdiutil compact in terminal) and I still get this message. I am also able to restore if needed. Would anyone have a solution to this? I would like to keep the backups.

looks like something is wrong with the sparse bundle. you can try changing its max size with hdutil. the command is
hdiutil resize -size 250g path/to/sparsebundle
The size is in GB (you can put your own number there of course). if that doesn't help I don't think you have any good options. the following might work but I wouldn't want to try it myself. rename the sparse bundle when TM is off and start TM. this should create a new sparse bundle. stop the backup and turn off TM. mount both bundles and clone the contents of old one to the new one.

  • Remaining hard drive space more than actual drive capacity!

    I have a retina macbook pro, and installed mountain lion so not sure which forum to put this post in.
    I guess posting on Mountain Lion might be better.
    My drive says 548GB available on my finder window.
    I actually only have 170GB left based on my About My Mac.
    The funny thinh is that my flash drive is only 500GB!!!
    So why is this happening? Anything I can do to fix it?

    That's more than a bit odd. 
    You may get different figures from the Finder vs. Disk Utility and the Storage display, because of local snapshots, but none ought to show that.
    Select the HD and click on Get Info. See if the results agree.

  • Speeding up the footage more than 1000% but with transitions

    Hey there,
    I am trying to speed up the footage of a view out of an airplane window in Premiere Pro CC. I basically want to have a view over the whole landscape, let's say in a height of 300m, and then speed this view gradually up until the airplane lands, and all this within around 3-5 seconds seconds.
    The first problem I have is that I seem to not be able to speed my footage up to more than 1000%. If I wanted to have a time lapse between being up in the air and landing on the runway within like 5 seconds that is definitely not enough.
    The second problem is that I don't want to start the timelapse sudden, but have a transition when changing the speed. Normally, I do that with these blue little handles to get a S-curve for my speed of a certain clip. When I tried googling it considering a higher speed than 1000% someone only suggested to export the speeded clip, import it again and then speed it up again. But then there is no gradually speed up possible, it only works for the same speed over the whole clip
    Summarizing these problems, I can't find a way to speed my footage up to more than 1000% without loosing the effect of a gradually S-speed-curve.
    Does anyone have an advice on how to solve this problem, especially focussing on my specific clip?
    Thank you and sorry for my english.
    Peter

    You should not have to render your captured material. If the capture settings match the sequence settings (conform this by checking item properties for both) then no rendering is necessary except for effects and filters.
    Offline editing (editing in low res and capturing in full res) is not a function available in FCE.

  • How to use an available field more than once  to define an unique field?

    At the table level in the console you can indicate various combinations of fields that must be unique either individually or in combination. However, you can assign an available field only once,  individually or in combination. For our data model it is a functional requirement that any available field can be used in more than one combination to define an unique combination.
    Example separate unique combinations:
    •       combination of:  postal code + house number
    •       combination of:  city + street + house number
    We use "house number" twice.
    Is it possible to do this in MDM and how?
    Thanks in advance for your answer,
    Heleen

    Hi Heleen,
      If you want to use Source field twice then you an option called <b>Clone Field</b> in MDM Import Manager.
    Follow these steps:
    Step1. In Import manager select the source table.
    Step2. Right click on the required field and Select <i>Clone Field</i>  house number in your case.
    Please revert if any queries.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Enable Master AXI interface to provide address space more than 32 bit - HLS

    Hello everyone,
    Is there any specific syntax in HLS to anable Master AXI interface to provide address width more than 32 bit, like 33 bit to support 8G memory space addressing?
    For now we can manually modify the Verilog code generated from HLS by changing the AWADDR, ARADDR and related signals from 32 to 33 bit, and make the memory space reach upto 8G.
    However this maual process spent us lots of time and the code is hard to maintain expecially when the HLS design becomes more complicated.
    Could anyone please help to find a way to expend the AXI address width in HLS? Thanks.

    There is an option -m_axi_addr64 to enable upto 64-bit addressing for all M_AXI ports in the config_interface option.

  • MORE THAN 5 USERS CANNOT CONNECT TO MY ITUNES

    ive got itunes set up for everybody at my work, like 12 or more people... problem im having is that if theres already 5 people that have looked at my tunes, nobody else can check out my music... even our IT man here doesnt know anything about it... when i exit and reopen then the tally starts up again, but only 5 can access my music....
    if somebody tries after 5 it will say that you cannot connext to this users music becuase they only allow 5 users per day....
    IS there any way to increase that number? why cant i let unlimited people check my sshtufff out? help me paalessse

    Basically all of the record labels assume you are a thief by default. So they will only let Apple sell music on-line if Apple encrypts the music so you are locked out of it. They then control how you can play the music to try to prevent copying. And in your case just giving music away.
    By the way. Activating iTunes on computers you do not control is a bad idea. If you have signed in and activated a computer any one on the computer can buy music on your account.
    To actually get music in a format you can use you can do one of two things. Either burn the music to CD and then RIP it to MP3 files. Doing this will give you standard MP3s you can play how ever you want. But you get a lower quality music files than you paid for, you lose the cover art, and you lose on the meta data for the file.
    The other option is to download Hymn or Jhymn. These programs decrypt the files so you can use them however you want. You get the same sample quality, and keep the cover art. But Apple continues to try to prevent those programs from working with each iTunes upgrade.
    By the way using using either of the two options listed above violates your user agreement with Apple. If they find out they could cancel your account.

  • HT1476 ever since I upgraded to ios 7, the battery life is very short and I do not use my ipad all that much.l have been on the phone to apple 3 times, turning off all kinds of things I so not use and have powered off more than before but it is still poor

    ever since I upgraded to ios 7, my battery life is very short. I do not use the ipad all that much and have to charge it twice as much as before. I have been on the phone to Apple 3 times and turned off a number of things that I am not using and now power it off more regularly but still not happy with battery life. It is less than a year old and as I said, I don' t use it all that much

    My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

  • How do I make iTunes music available in more than one user account?

    I have 2 user accounts on my computer. One for me and one for my wife. What I'm wondering is how I can make it so that the music in iTunes in my user account can also be available in her user account. When I'm on her user account iTunes is empty and there are no songs in it. I want for her to be able to have my same library in her iTunes. How can I do this?

    Hi Bob,
    you could try coping all your music onto an external drive & choose that drive as both of yours music folders. It should work... I think.
    Or just burn a data disc of your tracks & import them to the second account.
    I've not got two accounts on my machine but the above should work, in theory. Give them a try. Though I'm unsure about purchased tracks.

  • Spaces won't switch spaces more than 1 time

    Since I switched to Leopard, when switching between spaces, I can move in any direction one time using the hotkeys (I have it set to move with Apple Key + Arrow Key). With 10.5 I could move around all I wanted while holding down the Apple Key and pressing any arrow key. Now I can only do that on the first press of the arrow, and then it won't move until I let go of the Apple Key and press the combo again, making it so I can only switch between one space at a time (unless I'm going to the left, for some reason it allows me to move in that direction all I want). Given the fact that I've never had this problem before until I just installed Snow Leopard, I would have to conclude it was caused by Snow Leopard. Any suggestions?

    I guess I didn't think when it happened, because this should've been the first thing I tried, which was to change the hotkeys, and then change them back. It works just fine now. I dunno why it messed up in the first place, but the fix was basically common sense. Thanks for telling me that yours worked with all different combos, because it's what knocked my brain into realizing that I should have tried that. :-D
