Disk Space for Mac

When editing highlights from full-length sports games, the scratch disk fills up quickly on my computer. The large files are stored on an external hard drive; however, when I import them into Premiere some iteration of the project seems to be getting saved on the computer even if I have saved the project to the same external hard drive. Is there a way I can set Premiere to auto-save to the external hard drive and therefore not take up space on my computer's hard drive?
Thank you for your help.

Yes you can change the location of the Auto-Save files.
When you create a new project, you have it under the 'Scratch Disks' tab on the screen where you name the project.
In an existing project, you have it under File > Project Settings > Scratch Disks... (last option)
Alternately, if you are talking about the Media Cache, you can change it in Preferences > Media
Thanks,
Rameez

Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

So could I take everything off my external hard drive, save it to my Mac, then re-format it for my Mac and move everything back to the external hard drive?
Yes. Keep in mind that you need to back up all data, including the data on an external drive. So if you're going to use the external drive to store original data, as opposed to backups, then you really need another one to back up the first one. You also need to back up the data on your internal drive, of course. This isn't optional. You must do it, or you'll lose everything sooner or later. All disk drives fail eventually, often with no warning.
If I do that how do I format the external hard drive for my Mac?
Launch the Disk Utility application and search the built-in help for "erase."
Would it be easier to just buy a external hard drive that is for a Mac?
All external hard drives work with Macs. Some might come pre-formatted for use with Macs, but it only takes a few minutes to do that yourself.

Disk space for OS X 10.4.8 installation

Hi,
I erased the mac installation and reinstalled the 10.4.8 OS x, It simply installs all the applications with out users intervension. Mac installation occupied a disc space of 16GB.
I used the disc1 and disc2 of OS X 10.4.8.
My intention is to load windows and use 99% of my hard disc space for windows.
can i install OS X 10.4.8 with minimal boot options and load it in 2GB to 5GB?
if yes what are the options that i need to check while installing OS X 10.4.8.

You can do a customize install to install only the operating system and not the iLife applications, not the foreign languages, and not the printers you don't want, but I agree, you really want at least 15 GB free of hard disk space once Mac OS X is installed.
I would also strongly consider that installing Windows on your Mac, you still subject the Windows side of the machine to possible viruses and adware. It is better to get Mac compatible equivalent software than rely on Windows software titles when you have a Mac. My FAQs*: http://www.macmaps.com/crossplatform.html and http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html should help in that endeavor of finding the right software.

"Insufficient disk space for encoding" There is!!!!

Hi,
I've got a problem that is really driving me crazy.
When ever I write an .img or even burn to disk, the following comes up:
"Insufficient disk space for encoding. Please free up disk space on your encoding target drive"
This is untrue. I have 6.95 GB left on my hard drive, plenty on my LaCie drives and enough on my DVD-R. I really don't know what the problem is. I've written DVDs with less than 6.95 GB before.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks,
Pete Cooke

That's not enough, when your hard drive gets about 80% full, then you may begin to see this issue. There is alot of files that are temporary, that also use disk space during the build process.
You really need alot more space than what you currently have left, (like 20GB) or more.
Look, I know that some here are on a shoe string budget, but the prices that ATA firewire drives are at now, there cheep. I just saw one on deal-mac.com, (250GB ATA, internal) for $80.00 and a 160GB for $40.00. You could replace your current firewire drive, for not much.
I know, you don't want to open the external firewire drive inclosure, that's ok, I also have a solution for that. It's a one time expense, but get a firewire bridge, like the one Wiebetech.com sells for $120.00 and from then on, you can just purchase raw internal HD's on sale as the need arises and plug those drives in via the 6pin firewire bridge from Wiebetech. This has saved me allot cash on purchasing the fire interface over and over, (as you have to do when purchasing an external firewire drive.)
I just move the Wiebetech drive dock firewire bridge from drive to drive as needed, I now have 4 of them. It also allows me to quickly archive off footage to an ATA drive quickly, as well as use that footage from that drive while authoring a DVD or FCP project.
I have looked at other solution like this, but this seems to be the lowest cost per GB & buck, ($.)

IDVD error msg Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets

I get this error message on iDVD, does this mean I need to free up hard disc space... "Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets"

How full is your Mac's hard drive?
Locate your iMac's hard drive icon on the OS X desktop. Click the icon once, then use the keyboard key combination Command-I. This will give you additonal info about your iMac's internal hard drive.

Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets.

Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets. My main hard drive only has a few hundred Mb left on it so i bought a 1 Tb external hard drive and want to know how to make iDVD use the space on the external hard drive instead trying to use the main hard drive. Any help would be awesome! thanks

Hi
Yes - This is important.
Free Space - Must be on the Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk and can not be used on any other.
My safe level is a minimum of 25Gb free space - to let iDVD and Mac OS run OK.
This is due to that Mac OS X is in reality UNIX and there by needs lot's of temporary space for temp. files and so does the application iDVD. And this can not be addressed elsewhere.
So to free up space - one thing is to move iMovie Events to an external hard disk BUT THIS MUST BE DONE Right Else all can be lost ! !
• Never move or adjust any folders Named - iMovie Events or iMovie Projects - on Desktop/Finder - links will breake and can be hard to impossibly to heal. ALL movings must be done within iMovie Application (it goes for iMovie'08 to 11)
• External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will NOT WORK FOR VIDEO - nearly everything else BUT NOT VIDEO.

How to get available disk space for a disk in the system ?

hi all,
I need to figure out the available disk space for a particular disk before I can write my file to a directory in the disk. I do this to avoid unsufficient disk space problem in my program. May I know how can I do this in Java ? I look at the API function for java.io.File class but there isn't any function to check disk space. I would appreciate any help from fellow Java developers. Thanks a million.
regards,
tuck meng

You cannot do this in purely platform independent way.
You can use System.exec to run native OS utilities like df and parse the output, but then you have to knwo which platform your program is running on, or build in some automatic detection of OS and have corresponding native calls for each likely one.
BTW. even if you get a number of free bytes on disk that's larger than the size of the file you want to write this is no guarantee that there will be enough diskspace for your file, because another process might write to the disk in the meantime. So you will have to do proper error handling and recover gracefully from the disk full sitution no matter what.

Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

Hi DJNIKKo,
I have the Diablo III install DVD - it's both Mac & PC install.
But warning - many players (on a PC board) dislike the game & stopped playing it already...
I played thru all the chars on 'normal' and started playing the 2nd difficulty, but running away (=being chased) by enemies is NOT my style of playing a game...
Check some youTube videos & see if that's what you want to do...
The ratio of hit points (HP) for enemies is:
1. normal - 20 HP
2.nightmare - 6000 HP
3.**** - 150 000 HP
4.inferno - 1 000 000 HP
This is for the same enemy...
(I have the Diablo 3 walkthru guide).
So this game is't for me...

DPM is out of disk space for the replica

Trying to make a bare metal backup of a phyiscal server running 2008 R2 SP1 . I've checked im not out of space. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the agent, I've manually tried to make the disk allocation larger same error.
DPM is out of disk space for the replica. (ID 58 Details: Internal error code: 0x809909FF)
This is in the event log on the Client machine
The backup operation attempted has failed to start, error code '2155348040' (There is not enough free space on the backup storage location to back up the data.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once
the issue is resolved.
I have several other machines doing bare metal backups they are virtual but I can't see why that would be any different. They have no problems doing this. I have seen hacks on the internet editing xml files to get this to work changing allcritical to "C:".
I'd like an actual fix for this please?

Mike quick question. How can I determine which share my particular server is using to backup to? Here is what I get when I try to do a DIR on the folder as system
C:\Windows\system32>whoami
nt authority\system
C:\Windows\system32>dir
\\kdnap-util1\0ae3c77eaab54ea09b0724737a125f48
Access is denied.
C:\Windows\system32>dir
\\kdnap-util1\12068c1992634c92addf44bfbee5cada
Access is denied.
I was just trying to poke around to browse the folder to see which one to back it up to . But with the access denied error this isn't helpful :)
Here is my list of shares
C:\Windows\system32>net view \\kdnap-util1
Shared resources at \\kdnap-util1
I also tried doing a DIR from a server that is backing up correctly on any of those shares listed above after running psexec and I get access denied from them as well so I guess thats normal

5.3 gb if you are upgrading from a lower version of OS X. If you already have 10.9 and update to 10.9.2 it is about 900 mb.

Insufficient disk space for encoding?

Hello, when I burn my DVD in DVDSP I get this message:
"Insufficient disk space for encoding. Please free up disk space on your encoding target drive. Build cancelled"
I couldn't find anything in the documentation about this. I have 26 GB on my hard drive, which is set in the Encoding dropdown of the Destinations preference tab.
My project is showing 3.0 GB as the size.
Any idea what's going on?
thanks
Scott

Michael Trauffer wrote:
How big is your source file?
Not large, less than 3 gigs. It turns out the problem was the disk where the quicktime movie lived was short on disk space. I would think the encoding would happen on the drive specified in the Encoding preferences, but DVDSP must think otherwise. Anyway problem solved.
Personally, I prefer to use Compressor to encode my video and audio to m2v and ac3 before going into DVDSP.
Yes, me too, but I had some old QT movies I needed to get onto a DVD and it was easier just to drag and drop than recompress.
Thanks for the response.

Insufficient disk space for encoding. disk space on encoding target drive?

I keep having this message when I try to burn\enconde\build a DVD with DVDSP 4, I'm setting the Build folder in a external hard drive with 300Gigas free, so for sure is not the porblem...
Insufficient disk space for encoding. Please free up disk space on your encoding target drive
What should I do?? its kind of urgent!
Cheers,

Ah Ha!
I found this in a 2-pop forum - it may be the solution...
"Are you both using the DVDSP Background encoder? If so, make sure the *DESTINATIONS PREFERENCE for ENCODING is pointing to the disk drive that actually HAS the free space* - normally, it points to the SAME FOLDER where the asset is living. If you're short on space on that drive, that will trigger the condition you describe... - always maintain this free space "

Disk space for program file

Hi,
Wondering if any body has experienced with this. The disk space for program file(not data base file) is full and I want to know what are my options to free some space? Please include tcodes......

Latha,
You can follow the note and you will be able to schedule few background jobs for this. If you need to delete files at operating system level (Windows/Unix) then you can simply use delete or rm operating system commands.
You may want to move/compress few files if you think you may need in the future for some analysis purpose. I am attaching one more note for standard reorgnization jobs.
Note 16083 - Standard jobs, reorganization jobs [https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/16083]
Hope this helps.
