Backing up issues....the file is too large

I have a computer with a CD Burner. Im trying to do a backup of my Itunes purchases and i put a blank cd-r disk in and i get the error that reads something like "the file is too large for the disk, please insert a disk that..." I have tried deselecting and deleting my video's, movies, etc from my purchased list and it still wont back up and i get the same error. I dont even
get the option to insert multiple disks as the last time i backed up it took up 7 disks. Im thinking its probably trying to backup my videos, probably and without a dvd burner its not able to...can i just get it to back up my songs only or what else can I do without deleting my videos from ITUNES all together?
Thanks!

So now that you have repeated the same thing three times that doesn't make things any clearer at all.
You are copying files from where to where?
How are you attempting to copy files, software or click and drag?
Any other detail would be helpful.

  • How can I insert a number of photos in a numbers doc without the file becoming too large?

    How can I insert a number of photos into a numbers doc without the file becoming too large?

    Use smaller photos.
    Seriously, reduce the file size of the photos in Preview, PhotoShop, iPhoto or other application before inserting tehem into the Numbers document.

  • HT5731 how can I cancel or delete a movie i downloaded to my iPhone?  The file is too large and it is hung up during the download process

    How can I cancel or delete a movie I tried to download to my iPhone?  The file is too large and iTunes is hung up during the process of downloading.  I've tried to swipe from right to left but that doesn't produce a delete button....

    Slide your finger across the videos' listing in your iPhone Videos App and tap the red "Delete" button that appears.

  • I placed my aperture library on a 1 TB external drive (the file is 300 GB) and Aperture churns and churns but will not open the file. I don't know if the file is too large or if it is the external drive or what? any ideas? Smaller files will open.

    If this is an external USB drive, you must understand that USB is really, really slow. There may be nothing wrong except for that.
    In my opinion, USB external drives are only acceptable for backups, and to get "near Hard Drive" performance, you need FireWire.

    Lots of free file hosters out there. Mediafire.com as an example. Upload a file there, copy and paste the download link you are given into your email to the client, then delete it as soon as the client successfully downloads it. Mediafire has 10 gb storage for free accounts.
    Email is limited to 10 MB on attachments. So that's where file hosting comes in.

  • When I attempt to download the lastest OS iPhone update to iTunes, the file is too large for my internet carrier will allow.  My max is 400 MB and the file is what about 583 MB?  Options?  The same is true for the iTunes updates.

    When I attempt to download the lastest version of the iphone 4 OS update or the itunes one for the desktop, the file is too large for my internet carrier.  It will allow only a 400 MB download versus the download size of 583 MB.  Suggestions?

    You can download on your work computer, then place the file on your desktop of your home computer, if you want. Then:
    Launch iTunes
    Option+Click (Mac OS X) or Shift+Click (Windows) the Update button
    Select the IPSW update file you just placed on your desktop
    Let iTunes update your hardware to the latest version
    The .ipsw file is located here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    Windows Vista & Windows 7: \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    You will have to turn on "Show All Hidden Files & Folders" to see it.

    Anyone have a clue how I can open or convert the Adobe Connect FLV file?

    I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
    The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

  • How do I create a shared library from iPhoto when the file is too large to burn on DVD?

    I  need to remove some photos (70 GB) to relieve a full hard drive.  I have exported and burned .jpg images on DVDs, but that is only useful as a worst case backup.  What I would like to have is a separate iPhoto Library for each calendar year of photos, so I could still view them in the albums and folders I have created to organize them.  I have done this before in an earlier version of iPhoto, and was able to create 2003 iPhoto Library, 2004 iPhoto Library, etc.  I put a copy on DVD (the full year fit on 1 DVD) and another copy on an external drive. 
    I am having problems doing this with iPhoto '09 (version 8.1.2).  The iPhoto library for each year is too large to burn on DVD.  When I select certain albums from the year that will fit on DVD and use the Share>Burn commands, it creates a library with Events and Faces, but none of the albums are listed on the left.  The albums are important to organize the photos for viewing (birthdays, vacations, holidays, etc.)  I didn't always pay attention to labeling Events when I imported photos, so that is not an adequate alternative to my albums.
    I was thinking that if I could create a library for the entire year, it might include my albums and folders. I would have space for this on my external hard drive.  However, I can find no way to create a library for the entire year and put it on my external drive - the only option is to burn a DVD or export .jpg images.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Best suggestion: Buy some external USB or Firewire drives. Move your Library to one, back it up to another. A lot more reliable than DVD, a lot less work and much more convenient. For a start, you don't have to break up the library...

  • We bought a movie on itunes and would like to play it on our TV screen. For that I wold like to transfer it onto a USB stick so I can play it directly on our TV. Its saying the file is too large for my stick although that is not true. What to do?

    We bought and downloaded a movie from Itunes and trying to transfer it onto an USB some can play it back on a TV. We cannot move it onto the stick. It says the stick is too small but thats actually not the case. Rainer

    Films from the iTunes store have digital-rights-management on them, they can only be played via a computer's iTunes or device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple TV). If you don't have Apple TV then do you have a iOS device, and the relevant cables, to connect it to your TV and apply it via the device - or if you bought it on a computer is that close enough (and you have the relevant cable) to connect it to your TV ?

  • I finished adding my transtions to my timeline.  I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?

    I finished adding my transtions to my timeline.  I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?

    What Happened?
    No way for us to know.  But if your system was crashing, there definitely was a problem.  The FCE error message you got normally indicates the FCE project file has been corrupted.  This probably happened due to whatever caused your system to crash & shutting down the system.
    First, make sure your system is running correctly.  Then, use the Finder to navigate to /users/yourusername/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents/Autosave Vault and find the most recent backup copy of your FCE project file.  Copy the file to your Final Cut Express Documents folder (copy the file, don't just move it).  Then double-click the copy to open it in FCE.  It should open ok, but will probably not have your most recent edits (transitions).  You may have to rebuild the transitions, but at least you will be back in action.

  • "File is too large for attachment." using the Viewer SDK

    Post Author: CBurger
    CA Forum: JAVA
    I'm using the Viewer SDK to retrieve a report from BOE XI 2 SR2.
    This is done via the a piece of Java code ...
    ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
    ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
    IReportSourceFactory psReportSourceFactory = (IReportSourceFactory) enterpriseSession.getService(ReportConstants.REPORT_PSREPORT_FACTORY);
    Object reportSource = psReportSourceFactory.openReportSource(report.getID(), Locale.ENGLISH);
    exportControl.setReportSource(reportSource);
    exportControl.setURI(reportPath.toString());
    exportControl.setExportOptions(exportOptions);
    exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(true);
    exportOptions.setExportFormatType(exportFormat);
    exportControl.setParameterFields(reportParameters);
    exportControl.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServlet().getServletConfig().getServletContext(), null);
    exportControl.dispose();
    The report is generated as an Excel file.
    If I call for a small Excel - no problem: a dialog pops up asking me to "save as ..."
    If I call for a larger Excel (about 20MB) - PROBLEM "File is too large for attachment."
    Unfortunatly I don't find any information in the log files.
    Any ideas?

    Has this ever been resolved?  We are having a similar issue.
