Cant sync says not enough room tried everything!

hi
just upgraded to a nano 4gb from a shuffle. i tried to sync songs from a playlist, about 300 songs, and it says not enough room.n i restored 4 times and dont know what i am doing wrong. how do you get one large playlist or several playlists of songs I have picked, playlists I want, on my nano?

i dont even have 1000 songs, and only 200 on the playlists I selected. I selected to select my own playlists to sync and there are 4 playlists total of about 200 songs and I get the same message, not enough space, it says what I am selecting is 4.0GB and I have 3. whatever, but 200 songs is not that much.

  • Trying to finalize a project and it says not enough room in heap zone??

    I've been trying to finalize an iMovie project that is 12min 35sec but all it keeps saying is not enough room in heap zone.. What can I do about this?? It is so aggravating!! Thanks..

    A. Free Space - On DeskTop - usually top right hand corner there use to be an icon of Your Hard Disk - usually named Macintosh HD. If not then go via [cmd+F] and select it in tool field.
    Now after it's selected You can read at the bottom of the frame
    number of items selected and - Free Space as here 27,13 GB available
    B. Is there any thing connected to Your Mac - as external hard disks or other devices ?
    C. There can be a problem with iMovie pref file (Very common and especially so if the Mac has been Force/Panic Halted. To test this is easy.
    • Apple Menu and down to System Preferences
    • Accounts - and Create a new one
    • Apple Menu and down to bottom - Log out
    • Log into new Account
    Now try iMovie - If it works - the problem is to 95 - 99.9% a corrupted iMovie pref file.

  • Trying to restore my iPhone 4s from a previous backup and I keep getting a message that says "not enough room on the iPhone". Help!

    I am trying to restore my iPhone 4s settings from a previous backup and now I'm getting a "not enough room on the iPhone" message. This is very frustrating. How can I fix this?

    If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
    If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your data is unrecoverable.
    While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
    You delete your existing backups here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

  • Can't sync as not enough room in itunes? what's that all about?

    I've just tried to sync my iphone to do a back up (hasn't been done in ages) as my new iphone should arrive tomorrow.  It did all its syncing (I thought) then gave me the message that there wasn't enough room (in itunes) and it wasn't able to sync. As it's on its last legs I really need this backup to transfer everything to my new phone. Please help! Thanks very much Sally

    Looking at previous comments on this subject I've managed to solve the problem myself by deleting apps off itunes and then deleting the same ones on my iphone. Had to do it a couple of times to get enough space but it seems to have worked.

  • Time Machine says not enough room on disk

    Time Machine says that I do not have enough room on my backup disk.  It is a 1 TB Drive, with 992 GB available.
    I only want to back up my programs and data, which, if a full backup, is 662 GB, but for some reason, I am being told that I have 2.6 TB of data to back up.  I have no idea where all of this other data is coming from, is there any way I can select what I want backed up?  Effectively I want to back up my boot drive, and my data drive, that's it.  I do have two other drives in my tower, and they are full of data, but I do not need to back them up, and they may be what is causing the problem, but I don't know how to remove them from my backup list.
    Any help or direction would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    About TM "Backup Drive is Full" Alert
    TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
    So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
    Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
    Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

  • Sparseimage says not enough room to move items, even when there is

    Hi. I've created and used sparseimages successfully in the past for storing content that I want to be kept secure. Today though, I created a new sparseimage of 20GB using Disk Utility. When I tried to move files into it that were much smaller than 20GB (like 4GB), it wouldn't let me move them into the new sparseimage, and instead told me that there wasn't enough free space. This has never happened to me before, and I'm not sure why an empty sparseimage, created to hold up to 20GB, won't let me transfer files into it. I have 23 GB remaining on my hard drive in general, so it shouldn't be a problem of not enough space to make the copy. Thanks for any advice!

    It would appear that you need much more free space on your Boot volume then, even if you have plenty of space on the external for the DMG, the boot drive will still need space to use for VM & Temp files for making it on the external Drive.
    You're in danger of corrupting the Internal drive with that little space, not to mention the great speed reduction.
    In a pinch, there are ways to set VM to use an external drive, but I don't recommend it.

    NOTE :Purchasing more Storage on iCloud will not increase the Storage Capacity of your iDevice.

    I am trying to sync an ipod touch 4TH gen.  The capacity bar at the bottom shows I am adding 22.29g with 6.5 g free.  Yet every time I try to sync it warns that there is not enough room an additional 868.9m is still needed.  Does the capacity bar tend to be wrong or am I missing something?

    Well when all else fails do a restore!  This fixed my problem.  Still don't know why the content bar differed, but what the hey!

  • TS1702 trying to upload apps but it says not enough space can we purchase more space from ICloud or something or do we need to delete some things on the IPod to make more room?

    we are trying to sync apps, music etc. to my IPod touch but it is saying there is not enough room to upload the apps etc. from our ITunes library on my PC.  Are we able to purchase more space for example on ICLOUD for more storage or do we need to delete some of the items so there is enough room for the things we really want. 
    Also, if we do need to delete some of the stuff now on IPod touch, how do I find out how much space is used up by each item so we can delete necessary items to make enough space?
    Thank you,
    Kellyfunpass

    You need to delete some items from the iPod. After you install the app you can redownload then as storage space allows, by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    To download and install an app you need storage available equal to about three times the file download size.

    I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad.  Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room.  Now trying to get some pictures and music on.  Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway.  Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?"  So I hit cancel.  Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

    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.

  • Ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.
