Capture Ended Due to lack of disk space!?

It says that the capture ended due to lack of disk space, but the capture window says: 586.2GB Total Free Space and 2713.9 min Total free time??? (im using an external hard drive) It keeps telling me it ran out after 9:50mins of capture now?
I am trying to capture 40mins of film.

Back up everything presently on the drive, then use Disk Utility to reformat to Mac OS Extended. If the only things on the drive at present are your captured video clips, you're probably better off simply reformatting and then recapturing. Proper format will eliminate the 2GB/9min limit.
You haven't said how the drive is connected. It needs to be via firewire. Apple doesn't support use of USB drives with video applications, though some folks have used USB drives successfully.

Capture ended due to lack of disc space

I am currently trying to capture a large amount of footage into FCE from 6 separate mini DV tapes. I captured the footage from the first tape ok but half way through the second tape capture stopped and an error message occurred saying disk space full. I went into system settings and changed the scratch disc to my 750gb external hard drive. When I resumed capture now the next 9 mins, 25secs and 5 frames captured ok then it stopped again with the message saying "capture has been ended due to lack of disk space". However, my hard drive says there is 670.9 total free space. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? I am now capturing just 9 mins, 25secs and 5 frames at a time.
Thanks

That's your problem.
Your HD is formatted for Windows - many are when you get them.
You need to reformat it (which will wipe off anything already on it).
You use Disk Utility which is kept in the Utilities Folder in your Applications Folder.

How can I select the minimum size of Elements 10? It won't install due to lack of disk space on C:

I have just purchased and downloaded Elements 10. Can't install it due to insufficient disk space on my C drive. I have enough space on my D drive, but it will not install there, probably because my sustem files are on C drive. The Install wisard does not provide for a selection of the size of Elements 10. Is there a way to select the minimum size? If so, how can I do this?

There is not an option to customize the installation. The system requirements for Photoshop Elements 10 request that you at least have 4 gigabytes free, plus more for installation, how much free space do you have on your C drive?

Lack of disk space using "Capture Now"

aright here's the situaton.. evry time i capture footage using "Capture Now" it captures it for a while and then just stops and a window pops up saying: capturing ended due to lack of disk space.
How can i fix this?

I'm thinking it might be closer to...
1) Set a limit on Capture Now. Never have that box unchecked. Set it to 60 min if you want the whole tape.
2) Do not under any circumstances run any anti-virus/filesaver software. Including Norton and Virex. Sure, Apple doles out Virex for free, but FCP doesn't cooperate with it very well.
If you absolutely feel you must keep Virex installed on your system then use Kevin's script to shut it off before you use FCP:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?[email protected]@.68a85d17
3) Do not capture to your main system drive.
4) Check the format of the drive you are capturing to. It should be Mas OS Extended, jornalling off. If it isn't, copy your files from it and re-initialize it. If it is any other format, you will encounter problems. If not at first, then eventually.
Good luck,

I can't backup my phone due to lack of free space

I can't backup my phone due to lack of free space on my computer. How do I resolve? I just purchased a MacBook Air and I didn't have this issue on my old MacBook.

If the free disk space on your Mac is too small to backup and your iPhone then it has too little free space to run properly.
You need to start doing some removal of data to free up space on the disk drive. The data can be either deleted or moved to another disk drive. what ever you do leave the system files alone and work with the files in your Home directory only.
The first thin you need to do is to make sure you have a backup of the Mac first.

I have plenty of space on my hard drive (500GB), but when I plug in my iPhone there is a window stating the pone cannot be backed up because of lack of disk space. The same occurs with attempting to import CD's into iTunes.

The same occurs with attempting to import CD's into iTunes. The hard disk was replaced recently in order to gain extra memory. Is there some sort of limit set up from the original hard drive causing this problem?

Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
If Disk First aid is unable to complete the repair you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer.

Does iTunes offer a restore from other than current data on my pc? I've lost all my pictures because of lack of disk space on my pc.

Does iTunes offer a restore from other than current data on my pc? I've lost all my pictures because of lack of disk space on my pc.

Are you talking about restore of the iPhone from its backup, or something else? The first time you sync an iOS device on each calendar day iTunes will update the backup set for the device. If you remove data from the device and backup, then the backup of that data has gone. For this reason it actually makes sense to restore an iOS device periodically as, once used for a restore, the backup set is archived and a new one created.
Ideally you would have backed up these pictures somewhere. If you enabled it, you may find pictures in your Photo Stream.
In general you need to keep a backup copy of all your important files. iTunes will let you download most past purchases from the store but backing up other content is down to you. The user Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy suggests a way to do this for iTunes, but the same tool can be used to preserve other folders of data.

Capture Problems long time to allocate disk space

I have FCPHD and OSX 10.3.9. FCP has always worked well on my computer but is now taking a long time to allocate disk space(if that is even what it is doing) when I go to batch capture or capture now the capture window hangs and sometimes I am left with a large file in the capture scratch folder. Any Ideas?

You need to make sure you have set a time limit in Capture Now. Without that limit, FCP can (and sometimes does) allocate your entire Capture Disk as a potential capture file.
Here's an explanation of what is going on ...
When you use Capture Now, the disk system is being asked by FCP to essentially "keep capturing until we tell you to stop ... and no, we don't know HOW much that will be either." It is stressful on the system to be continually wandering around looking for space to stuff those ones and zeros with out any sense of how many they have to accommodate. One solution available to the system is to allocate the ENTIRE empty space on the disk as the potential capture file. This essentially locks the machine as there is no headroom for basic disk operations.
However if you set a limit on capture now, say 60 minutes, the disk system can allocate the space and may seem to be less confused by the process. It still does not know EXACTLY how much you want, but it knows you will not want MORE THAN the limit and therefor can reduce some of the uncertainty.
Better yet is to capture using timecode. This allows you to log the tape, then use batch capture. When you do this, the system knows EXACTLY how much space to allocate for each file and is very efficient.
Good luck.

Ipod nano says cannot update playlists due to lack of available space

Recently after I left my ipod nano charging overnight mysteriously all the songs were removed from it (not on my computer - just the ipod unit). Whenever I try to "Update Administrator iPod" it comes up with the message that it doesn't have enough space. This is despite un-checking all playlists to absolute minimum. Now at the stage that even if no playlists are checked > 95% of disk-space is taken.
A message does pop up at the bottom RHS of my screen that a "file is corrupt and unreadable - iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB" and suggests I run CHKDSK Utility. I don't know much about chkdsk but did go to the "START" button on my computer and in the "RUN" section typed in "CHKDSK c: /f". It did go through a routine (after I did a computer reboot) - but problem is still there.
Have you any advice for me?

Beautiful. Just did a "restore" as suggested and now works fine!

Project/Library will not relink due to "not enough disk space"

I have a large library/project that was copied from one drive to another so I could take it to a different site/computer. When I open the project, I need to re-link the footage. FCP finds and verifies all the footage, but when I select "re-link", I get the following error: "There is not enough disk space available at the selected destination. Please choose another one or clear some space."
I've checked the project properties and they appear to be looking at the right event. The library and all the footage is on a huge drive with almost a terabyte free.
I'm not sure why I should even need additional space just to re-link to existing footage.
Thanks in advance for any guidance in this matter.

You should do this from inside FCP. Only copy libraries from one drive to another in the Finder if you're using managed media, which it doesn't sound as if you are. I'm kind of guessing a little here because I'm not clear on exactly what you did for the media.
In FCP make a new library on the drive you want to copy to. Select the project and in the inspector assign a location for the media, either managed media or external media in a folder. I like to use managed media for this, because I can always consolidate the media into a separate folder very quickly. Once you've made the new library, inside FCP copy the contents of one library into the new library. When that's done confirm that the media has been copied to the correct location. If necessary run the consolidate function to make sure all the media is correctly located.

Importing a movie - lack of disk space?

I'm tryin to import an mp4 file of just under 908mb into iMovie, so i can compress it down. However, when i try and do this it comes up with an error message saying "The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left to import Macintosh HD/Users/Drewy/Movies/The Big Lebowski". This is probably very very simple. I have 20gb of hard drive left if that makes any difference. I'm just wondering what might be stopping it from importing and how i could solve this?

iMovie needs to convert your footage to .dv and needs about 18mb/hr.

Macbook cannot install OS X update due to lack of available space on drive

My wife tried to install an update to OS X for a game. Now her computer is stuck at the install screen. When we try to select the Macintosh HD, there doesn't seem to be enough room to install the update. Never backed up HD with time machine or anything like that. Here are the options that I now have:
a. To repair your disk using Disk Utility, restore your computer from a Time Machine backup, or perform other tasks using utilities, choose an option from the Utilities menu.
b. Continue the setup of the installation of OS X- however, there is not enough room on the HD to perform this.
That is where the computer is stuck at...help!

Sorry for the late reply. I have not looked at the MacBook forum for a while.
Try rebooting in Safe Mode. That will clean out some files as it boots and may give you just enough space to boot.

Can't capture due to a lack of disk space...except the disk is empty!

Using 5.1.4, I'm attempting to capture some DV footage to an external hard drive with about 60gb free. For some reason, once FCP has captured 2 gigs worth of footage, it stops and claims there isn't enough space on the disk.
My system settings show that the minimum allowable scratch disc space is 2 gigs, so I don't understand why FCP is acting as if 58 gigs of free space equals zero gigs of free space.

Nope, you're going to have to move all of the data off of the drive before you reformat or you'll loose it. In Disk Utility, choose the "Erase" tab at the top of the screen and then choose "Mac OS Extended" or Mac OS Extended (journaled) from the drop down menu for Volume Format, the Click on the "Erase" button. After it's done just copy your data back onto the drive and you're all set.
