CS4 space problem

I am trying to install CS4 Master and when I get ready to install it says insufficient space needed for install which is 8.6GB for the full Collection I believe. On my main hard drive (C:) all I have is 1.5 GB left but on my other 2 hard drives I have 80+ GB (D: / I:) worth of space on both. I change the location but it still says there is not enough space. Please help! What do I need to do?

> is their a way I can switch the files over? or make my D: drive my main drive?
For the first part, perhaps, with a ton of registry editing and other tinkering, but I certainly wouldn't swear to it, or attempt it myself, and it's moot anyway since in order to move them you'd need to have them installed, which you evidently can't do for lack of space.
For the second part, you could re-install Windows on the larger drive and make it the system drive, but you'd really be better off just getting a new, larger, drive and some imaging software so you can move your current C:\ drive into a larger home. De-activate any Adobe products that require activation before you make the image -- a new hard drive looks like a new system activation to the activation server.

CS4 Export Problem

I have an external hard drive to which I export my encoded CS4 video files once I have finished editing. The problem is that, in doing so, space seems to be used also on my C drive. I need to find and delete these files on my C drive once my PP project files are rendered to my external drive. I have looked in temp files but they not there. Can anyone advise me on this?

That's done it S.V. Many thanks!

If you're using Vista you might be making the same mistake as me. Go edit>preferences>media, hover the mouse over the media cache files location (i.e. C:\yadayada) and TYPE that into the bar at the top of the my computer. Don't click through and try and find it, TYPE it like you would an internet address in a web browser.

Space Problem in G: - after NW2004s SR1 installation on Windows 2003 server

HI Friends,
I have installed NW2004s SR1 on Windows 2003 server with Oracle 10g database successfully. My server has sufficient harddisk space as follows.
C: 9.6GB
G: 24GB
H:64GB & I: 73GB.
RAM is 6GB
While installing NW2004s i have defined a paging size on C: 400MB-1600MB and
i have set the option as System Manageble on other drives G, H& I drives. I did not get any Swap space problem while installing.
During installation I have chosen G: drive to store MirrorlogA, MirrorlogB, Oraarch, OriglogA, OriglogB folders of Oracle for redolog archives,.Total size of all these folders is 17.4 GB
G: drive has one more folder Program files which is of 155KB and no other files exist in it.
But My system says that I am running out of Space on G: drive and free space available now is only 44MB.
My question is where has the rest 5GB of space gone? Is it consumed as a part of Paging file which i have set on this drive as System manageble??
I have set the same option on other drives too i..e H & I. But i am not facing any space issues for these drives.
What could be going wrong?? Please suggest me how to correct this
Thanks

I double-insured that there is enough disk-space and I am also in the Administrators-Group.
Please guide me for the above problem although I have done oracle 9i database installation with the same configuration.

HD space problem - startup disk shouldn't be full...

Hello everyone.
I'm having a really weird problem with my hard drive. All of a sudden, a message popped up saying that my Startup Disk was almost full, and the system profiler read it as having "zero k". This is extremely odd because I had about 19 Gb free just a moment before, and after checking folders, apps and documents there really shouldn't be a space problem. The first message came up right after importing a CD, but that shouldn't have caused this.
I tried deleting some items, but space increased only by that tiny amount. After a restart, the indicated hard drive space randomly jumped up to 1 Gb. When I woke it back up right now it was down to 200 Mb, and after another restart it's just come up to 650Mb. It just seems to fluctuate...
If anyone knows what the issue might be or what I could do about it, please help! Thanks,
silvia

Hi. Thanks for the tip, it was really helpful. Everything was as expected except for some log files in my Library. The sizes are mostly up to 100 K except for one huge 15.9 Gb file, called console.log.2 in a strange folder called 501
It's located in
Library > Logs > Console > 501 >
I'm really not sure what these files are and what they do, or what these folders are. Can I trash them or is that a problem?
Also, I've noticed that my hard drive space is actually continuously decreasing little by little... Do you think this is related?
Thanks,

HD space problem in iMovie projects

I'm having hd space problems with one of almost two identical iMovie projects. I'm looking for a way to reduce size (or free up space with in the overly large project.)
Both projects were imported same...firewire from camera.
Both are about same length...approximately 1.25 hours.
Both have approximately same number of clips and are at the same stage in the process...some minor editing...no titles or transitions in either.
However, one project is 14gb in size, the other is 54gb. This is obviously causing space issues with my 160gb hd. (I rarely have a project over 25gb...even with lengthier projects with titles and transitions,)
When I view trash info for larger project in iMovie, it shows 12gb, but when I delete, space is not cleared from hd. Project size remains at 54gb.
The only difference in projects...with larger project I copied some files from a third iMovie project that I've since deleted.
Any thoughts on how I go free up space or reduce file size?
I've restarted computer, deleted iMovie pref file, ran disc utility.
I'm running latest version of Tiger (10.4.11) on eMac. iMovieHD version is 6.0.3

I suspect that when you copied those files from the third iMovie project you brought over portions of the clips that had been edited out. For example, if you have a 20 minute clip in iMovie that you trim down to 5 minutes, the project still retains the entire 20 minutes, even though you are using only 5 minutes of it in the project. This is true even if you empty the trash. As long as any part of the clip remains in the project, the entire clip remains in storage. This is due to iMovie's nondestructive editing feature. You never lose any part of a clip that you trim off. Some or all of the clips that you copied over from the old project may have been edited that way such that you thought, for example, that you were bringing over a 5 minute clip, but actually brought over 20 minutes of material. Thus your project size is larger than needed.
One way to get rid of the space caused by the extra 15 minutes would be to export the clip to Full Quality quicktime movie, and then substitute the Quicktime movie clip for the original clip in your project. The quicktime movie will contain only the 5 minutes used in the project and not the extra 15 minutes that the original clip carried with it. This would limit some of your ability to re-edit the new Quicktime movie clip, because you will not be able to modify or eliminate any special effects or titles that that are contained in it. Likewise, the 15 minutes that you eliminated will be lost. So keep that in mind if and when you delete the old clips. Before you export the old clips to a Quicktime movie, you want to eliminate any unwanted editing that they may contain. If these old clips contain a lot of special effects that might account for their larger size as well.
Keep a copy of the old edited clips until you are certain that your new project is exactly the way you want it.
Hope this helps. If your problem is not the above, hopefully others will be able to offer some helpful comments.

CS4 Crashing Problems - Questions

Just curious in regards to all of these "CS4 Crashing" problems.
1) Before updating to Snow leopard, did you people do due diligence by at the very least checking the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drives and do a Permission Repair first BEFORE updating?
2) Did you make a clone of your working perfectly Leopard disk, or at least do a current (minutes before) Time machine backup?
3) Did you check first which 3rd party extensions such as those by Unsanity (FontCard), YouControl(Font), Growl, etc. that will NOT play nice with Snow Leopard yet until they are updated (if ever?)... and pre-update delete them?
4) Did you check to make sure that all of your fonts have been disabled and those that are NOT specifically from Apple, are removed from the User Font folders... and NOT set to load at startup?
Now after all of that... did ya still "freely" and without a gun to your head, update to Snow Leopard... a brand spankin' new (dot.zero) OS release and expect absolutely NO bugs: small, large or just inconvenient for the time being?
And now your whining here?... and complaining to Apple?
Have any of you considered reverting to your clone of Leo 10.5.8 until certain issues (yours) have been fail-safely fixed?
For the record, I did a straight-up SL update on a 2.16 CoreDuo MBP, and a 2008 8-core MacPro with NO problems! Everything working fine in 32-bit and 64-bit (MacPro), including even FreeHand under Rosetta.
NOTE: check your fonts!!! Whenever something crashes here or at any of my clients unexpectedly, font and/or font cache corruption has been the main culprit, now for over 20 years(!)

Best strategy for iPhoto Disk space problems

My wife is a shutter bug. She has about 20000+ pictures and growing fast. She also has an HD camera.
So, disk space is an issue for us (500G iMac)
Current iPhoto library is big (190G) and growing fast.
What is the best solution to solve the out "iphoto library disk space problem"?
1. Get a really good USB drive and put the iPhoto library on that?
2. Get a NAS drive and put the iPhoto library on that?
3. Split the libraries and remote the old ones and keep the new one local?
4. Another option that I am not aware of?
I tried some tests on a nice NAS solution (Netgear ReeadyNAS Ultra) and iPhoto seems to run really slowly from the mounted NAS drive.
Any recommendations appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

1. Get a really good USB drive and put the iPhoto library on that?
This is the best option - be sure that the EHD is always available prior to launching iPhoto
2. Get a NAS drive and put the iPhoto library on that?
This will not work unless you find a NAS that uses Mac OS Extended (journaled) formatting or you make a formatting or you make a disk image and place it on the NAS
3. Split the libraries and remote the old ones and keep the new one local?
works but loses much of the power of iPhoto's search capability
4. Another option that I am not aware of?
get a bigger hard drive in your Mac

[CS4][Mac] Problemas CS4 y Spaces Leopard

Hola, hasta hoy trabajaba con la versión de Leopard 10.5.6 y los spaces de Leopard no funcionaban muy bien al cambiar entre aplicaciones de la CS4.
Hoy he actualizado a la versión 10.5.7 pesando que se solucionaría y nada, la cosa va a peor. Solo me ocurre con los programas de Adobe.
El problema es al pasar de un space donde está por ejemplo Photoshop a otro donde está Illustrator. Si no hay documentos abiertos no va al space, y si hay documentos abiertos va al space pero no enfoca en la aplicación.
No se si es un problema de Adobe o del sistema de Apple... a alguien más le ocurre esto? sabéis alguna solución?
Gracias, un saludo,
Pedro J. Sempere

En la literatura técnica de Adobe se establece categóricamente que Photoshop CS4 no es compatible con Spaces de Leopard, que la empresa no ofrece nigún soporte técnico al respecto y que si los usuarios tienen problemas en este sentido deberán dirigirse a Apple.
Los ingenieros de Adobe, entre ellos específicamente Chris Cox, alegan que la culpa es de Apple. Dicen que Apple no ha implementado sus propias normas y lineamientos, que Adobe ha seguido escrupulosamente las directivas de Apple pero que Apple es quien ha fallado en la implementación de Spaces.

CS4 Installation Problem on Mac - Error 2

I have tried for several hours to make the new install of Adobe CS4 work. The Lightroom2 install worked fine. Background: I have a macbook pro, OS/X 10.5.7, enough avail disk space. I had a trial version of LR2 and full CS2. I have done the following: checked "repair permissions" - an OS/X utility that interfered with operating Capture NX a couple years ago, so I added that step. I have uninstalled every Adobe application, using Clean Script 3 and Clean Script 4. I have tried to install CS4 in a separate user account, which has since been deleted, and again both Clean Scripts have been run. I have restarted my computer and downloaded a fresh version of CS4. I have tired to install it as a Tial version instead of an upgrade, also. It NEARLY installs, but at the very end of the install bar, after Bridge and before finishing Photoshop installation, I get a big red X and an error and find it is Error 2. The Adobe support pdf's have not helped, including those referenced by their little support bot.
Have spent a couple hours with Adobe Support, also. No one knows what Error 2 means.
Also, the "support" person closed my case as though it had been resolved - said he would call me back in one hour and 2ours 45 minutes later had not called back. He CLOSED the case, wasting my time and lying to me.

I have just committed the cardinal sin of allowing my daughter to install Adobe CS4 Web Premium on my new Mac Pro 2.26 8 Core.
I use this computer for pro music composition, and until I allowed my daughter to talk me into letting her use it for Adobe Web Premium (24" Apple screen, she has a PC laptop), it was strictly a no fly zone.
My worst fears were realized.
Neither she, nor I, can't get a clean install. Each attempt is greeted by a 'Successful but with Errors' or some such garbage. I have submitted a support requerst but have had no reply.
The new Mac died. Apple replaced it with a new computer under Applecare Warranty, and a new hard disk, but still the problem remains.
I've tried a new partition; nope.
I get the folling error codes:
Adobe CSI CS4

I tried to download the Adobe Support Advisor, but it would not download. I have erased the registration, followed the instructions to the letter.
Nothing.
Adobe help in Australia were polite but did not resolve the problem. I called again and was greeted by a call centre somewhere in the Third World by someone who knew less about computers that they did about Adobe products. This poor person probably has a good job within his impoverished community, but undoubtedly paid a pittance (or why would Adobe set up a Call Centre in India), which make s it really hard to vent my frustrations without appearing racist.
I am attempting to take over the problem as there is no way a seventeen year old girl could negotiate this. I can't.
Has anybody any clues?
Appreciate any help. I can't access my daughter's email which the product is registered through at Adobe, as it is on her school computer which is connected through the school server, but my email is [email protected].
Appreciate any help. Or the contact details of a good hit-man.

Photoshop CS4 Experience, Problems & Questions

Hi all,
i just installed my Production Suite Premium on the following System (fresh install, clean System, no other versions of Photoshop):
Intel E8500 Dualcore
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GX2 (Driver Version 178.24)
3 GB RAM
Windows XP Professionel SP3
Photoshop has its own Scratchdisk assigned with at least 50 GB free Space.
I know that the 9800 GX2 is considered to be a "Gaming-Card" but as a freelance artist i work for the game-industry on many occasions and I need a decent gaming hardware to test what I am working on. As far as I know, the card meets all requirements for CS4 and Nvidia tells me, that their GPU's are perfect for CS4. (wasn't a problem with any version before, I use Photoshop AND Nvidia-Cards since Photoshop 4)
Here are the things that bug me:
- Photoshop disables the OpenGL Features on random occasions, stating, that it has encountered a problem. This happens either in Two GPU-Mode or One-GPU-Mode.
There's no obvious reason for any errormessage, because IF Open GL is activated it seems to work pretty good, zooming and rotating works quite well and fast. I noticed, that the problem happens either after saving my file or when i open photoshop.
- Photoshop crashed on several occasions mostly concerning heavy transforming of multiple layers. It simply didn't respond anymore in the midst of the transormation-process.
My guess is, that this is also linked to the GPU/Driver. System-Memory is checked, GPU works like a charm in all other applications. CS3 has not once crashed in one year, so i guess it has to do with the changes made in CS4.
Strange thing is, that even with open GL deactivated, the above written problems occur. I would have thought, that with OpenGL dectivated, Photoshop would somehow become kind of CS3 again, but it seems, there had been to much changes to simply disconnect photoshop from it's new OpenGL interface.
Apart from these two Problems, Photoshop CS4 is doing ok. It feels kind of sluggish compared to older versions, but that might also change with some new drivers.
Sad thing is, that the rotate canvas feature and the extended moverange for images, the main reasons why i upgraded to CS4, are only working with
OpenGL activated. I really hope there will be a fix in the near future.
There are other questions concerning PS CS4's usability:
- The Scale-Brush Feature uses alt + right mouse buttons, what seems kind of strange when using a stylus (Even more when using a stylus without buttons like the wacom layout-marker).
I would prefer another combination of keyboard shortcuts plus stylus movement ctrl + alt for example. so far i have not found a way to remap the keys. Am i missing something? Or is this impossible?
- Is there a way to get window behavior back the way it was in CS3? The new way of handling windows is ok, but i liked the old one better. If i disable "floating windows docking" there's no way to maximize a window INSIDE the photoshop workspace. The maximize button on top of every window is right now completely useless because it maximizes the window AND gets rid of all the menus and palettes. I don't see why i want to do that.
That's it. I hope this is useful either for the guys at adobe or for other users. Every new Photoshop-Version has had its problems, i hope that these will just be dealt with like the ones before.
All the best,
Pickman

Photoshop CS4 does cause crashes. I can vouch for that too. When it happens, the first instinct is almost always to assume that something is wrong with the computer and start from there. Comments to this effect are prominent in many threads. It is also Adobe's prevalent approach. So people experiencing these problems will tend not to post on these forums. Statements like 'because there are only a few posts, a significant number of people are not experiencing [these] problems' are therefore unfounded. There simply has not been time yet for people to resolve potential hardware/system problems.
In my case, I started experiencing unexplained crashed with CS3 in July (see below) but it was only when Adobe admitted that they could be partly to blame that I posted my experiences (elsewhere) on this forum.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I have installed Photoshop CS4 on a newly reformatted HDD containing a fresh clean installation of Windows XP/SP3, fully patched, with everything working hunky dory, and no legacy installations of Photoshop or other CS software to worry about. All the same PS CS4 keeps crashing. The symptoms are unexplained total freeze ups occurring at random. I may get several hours use, sometimes a lot less, before I am forced to reboot and start all over again. Certainly the ability to do any useful work is severely compromised, and yes, the first inclination is to blame the hardware or system installation.
The thing is I had been chasing a similar, probably related, problem with CS3 (possibly caused by cloning my system drive, see http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6bd8d/ ) while Photoshop was still activated, so I have had several months head start over anyone who may now be experiencing similar problems with CS4. As a result, Dell, whose support has been great throughout, have replaced just about every component under the hood of my PC, certainly everything that could be causing a problem. (GPU, CPU, memory, MB, PSU, disk controller, disk cables...). As a result, I am running a virtually brand new computer. Hardware and system problems have been all but eliminated. I have all the latest drivers for everything. It is virtually a brand new computer!
Yet PS/CS4 keeps crashing for no reason that can be established. Adobe have given me lots of homework to do to try to find out what affects it or remedies there are. It is all very tedious, but so far, nothing...
I am coming to the conclusion that there must be something intrinsically wrong with PS/CS4 that makes it incompatible with some systems and software installations, but not necessarily because of any fault with the latter. I have to say that, after initially trying to push me away, Adobe are being very helpful and clearly want (need?) to get to the bottom of this. The trouble is that when the system locks up, it is completely and utterly paralysed, so any diagnostic and error reporting systems are inoperative. This suggests something beneath or beyond Windows, and, if it is not hardware, this points the finger of blame squarely at the activation software, which uses rootkit technology. (Would this be the same on a Mac, I wonder?)
For the record, my system is a Dell Precision 370 desktop with Dell/Phoenix BIOS A08, 3.2GHz Pentium 4 CPU, Intel 925X chipset, 2MB ECC SDRAM, Nvidia Quadro FX3450 graphics, 2x Seagate 146MB Cheetah 5.5k disks (SCSI) in non-RAID configuration. From the limited experience I have had, it seems perfectly capable of running the software (apart from when it crashes, of course.)

CS4 Eyedropper Problem

I changed my eyedropper tool according to Scott Kelby's suggestion to sample a wider space in order to color correct. Problem: I have a very narrow space for black, white and gray on my photo so 3x3 sample size is too large. How do I return to a single sample point? When I click on "Point Sample" it does not change back to a single point. Please help on how to reset to the original setting of a single point. I'm using Windows and Photoshop CS4. Thanks.

Thanks Curt, but I've tried that and it still doesn't change back to "Point Sample" even though I scroll up and select it. I still cannot get the single arrow back. For example, I now want to use the clone stamp. When I sample the area first, the sample size is the 3 icons, not the single area I need. I must have accidentally screwed up my settings. I even tried to reset the defaults in CS4 but I don't think I did it right. I'm fairly new to Photoshop so bear with me. Thanks.
