Error About Disk Space When Syncing Photos to iPhone

I just got my new iPhone 4 and have had trouble syncing photos to it. Close to completion I get the below error:
"No photos were copied to the iPhone “__” because there is not enough free space on the iPhone to hold your photos and photo albums."
As iTunes reports I have over 10 GB free on the device. Does anyone know how this could be fixed?

I should note, I tried deleting the photo cache, rebuilding the iPhoto library, and turning off photo sync then syncing then turning it back on.

Error Importing - Disk Space when there is plenty of Space

Hello,
I am trying to import small .avi movies into iMovies. When I do, it states that there is a Error Importing due to not enough Disk Space. I have 24GB of disk space available, however, inside the iMovie application it states that there is only 20kb available. Has anyone come across this?
Thank you
Leoville

I had the same problem. The following steps worked for me.
1. In iTunes on my Mac, on the Summary page for my iPhone, under "Options" I clicked "sync only checked songs and videos."
2. On the "Music" page, I clicked Sync Music and then clicked "Selected playlists, albums," etc. underneath.
3. IMPORTANT! make sure that the "automatically fill free space with songs" is NOT clicked. My computer kept clicking that one automatically and I had to keep turning it off.
4. I clicked one playlist or album at a time and watched the status bar (below) to see how much space was being taken up (the blue line).
5. When I had as much music as I wanted, I clicked Apply.
It turned out that I had one play list which, for some unknown reason, had a huge number of songs on it and that was clogging up the works. When I unchecked it, I had enough room for the rest.
I hope this helps!

I'm getting an error 'Insufficient Disk Space' when trying to import

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? It is telling me I need 6MB of additional free space but despite deleting an abundance of other photos and seemingly freeing up the space I still cannot import and get the same error? HELP!

In your first post you wrote
It is telling me I need 6MB of additional free space
And in your second post
Importing to internal hard drive 6.85GB available
Even assuming that the GB was a typo and should be MB you're still on the hairy edge.

ITunes crashes when syncing photos since iPhone upgraded to iOS 5

Recently ran the iOS 5 upgrade on my 32GB iPhone 3GS, everything works fine on the phone (despite losing an app I'd paid £6.99 for - grrr!) but iTunes syncing isn't working properly.
I can sync books, podcasts, music, ringtones all fine, but when it comes to photos, it just crashes as it tries to sync the first one. I tried restoring the phone, but now I just have no photos on it at all, and it still won't sync.
I get the same issue on 4 different PCs, different versions of iTunes, different cables, so it has to be a problem with the phone? So annoying as I'd really like to have photos on the device, as as Apple make you use iTunes to sync them (why you can't just drag and drop them on there is a mystery to me) I'd quite like them to fix the problem they appear to have caused with their update.
And yes, I can sync the photos fine to an iPod Classic, 3 different Nanos and an iPad 2.

I had identical issue and just found the answer here -

PC Crashes When Syncing Photos To iPhone

Hello,
For some reason my PC crashes when I attempt to sync my photo collection to my iPhone. Everything else syncs correctly except photos. I have tried syncing different photo albums, but the PC still crashes. Does anyone know what would be causing this problem?
Here is my configuration:
Windows XP Home
iTunes 8.2.1.6
iPhone Software 3.0.1
Many thanks,
Simon

Error message when syncing photos from laptop

When trying to copie photos from laptop to ipad I get the following message :-Photoshoot was not copied to the ipod "sids ipod" because it could not be found

Although it's for iPhone and Touch, the following document is also worth a try on an iPad. (I'd check your photo cache first.)

Error when syncing photos...

Error when syncing photos. When I synchronize my IPad 1 (IOS 4.5.3) with Macbook (OS X 10.5.8) as I always do, an error saying that some pictures could not be synchronized because de IPad can not open those pictures!. Always copied from one device to another without problems! I use the latest version of ITunes. Thanks

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Error "get disk space file error" to install patch p158 to FM 7.2

I have Adobe FM 7.2 with the Patch B144 on Windows 7 x64 and when I try to install the new patch AdobeFrameMaker7_2p158Patcher.exe I get the error "get disk space file error" and the window freeze.

> I have Adobe FM 7.2 with the Patch B144 on Windows 7 x64 and ...
I'm surprised that FM7 even runs native in Win7. I would expect various random problems during FM ops, and a complete inability to reliably use the Acrobat/Distiller5 that came with FM7 (although a later version of Acrobat/Distiller, separately installed, might work, esp. if using a Print-to-Ps-and-Distill workflow).
You need to install FM7 inside a virtual machine. There are several solutions (e.g. Virtual Box) for that, some of which require that the CPU have hardware virtualization. Most AMD chips do. It's often fused-off, however, on low end Intel chips (just because you didn't pay enough).
I've built a Win7 Pro64 PC, and run FM7 in XP Mode (a virtual machine that is a complete instance of Windows XP/32, and not to be confused with Compatibility Mode). XP Mode is a free download from Microsoft, still available, but only for Windows 7 Enterprise, Professional and Ultimate (not Basic, Home or not-so-Premium). Note: XPM is not supported on Windows 8, 8.1 or 10. You'll need a 3rd-party VM for that (and you'll probably have to install your own copy of XP in any 3rd party VM).
If your chip is AMD, there's a hotfix patch (KB 2519949 as I recall) you need to install before you do anything else about XPM. This patch is not included in any of the 200+ Windows Updates that a virtualized XP wants you to install, in several waves (yes, this takes a while).
And from a related discussion:
>> Microsoft no longer support WinXP, does it a risk to use it?
After you install XP in the VM, and apply all 200+ Windows Updates, and install the apps you need:
disable the VM's networking capability*
or at the very least never use a browser inside the VM
if possible, let the AV software in the host OS access the VM's virtual drive
MS is going to EOL Windows 7 in 2015Q2 as well.
* For some apps, the networking would need to be on periodically for license validation.

Error: low disk space HP(C:)

My computer knowledge is below average!!! My 'puter reads Error: low disk space HP(C. I have cleaned and defragmented several hundred times but to no enjoyment. I have also uninstalled whatever I believed to be unneccessary for me to be using on this 'puter. The memory available is reading 4% at the moment and I am feeling quite frustrated and at a loss. IS SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP THIS COMPLETE NOVICE??
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I am an elder novice and also had this problem.I did a disk clean and was amazed when it revealed 8.4gb of stuff in the recycle bin which i am always emptying via c cleaner.After running the cleanup and doing a defrag i ended up with 22.4gb of space.I ran c cleaner and was surprised that it found 18000kb still in the recycle bin.Non of this makes real sense to me but at least i have a lot more space.Hope it helps you.

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Does iTunes sync metadata when syncing photos to an iPad/iPhone? I am using Aperture v3 as my photo library.

Does iTunes sync metadata when syncing photos to an iPad/iPhone? I am using Aperture v3 as my photo library.

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

Problem: Final Cut Pro X inaccurately reports "Out of disk space", when I have 333GB free.

Problem: Final Cut Pro X inaccurately reports "Out of disk space", when I have 333GB free.
Trying to "share" the compound clip I've created as an mp4 1080p file.

Editing MP4 media can create all sorts of havoc with FCP.
Convert the clips to .mov files – either Compressor or MPEG Streamclip will do that – preferably in Pro Res 422

Insufficient disk space when installing Weblogic 9.2MP3 on Solaris 9 or 10

Insufficient disk space when installing Weblogic 923 on Solaris 9 or 10 using bin file installer :
bash-2.05$ ./server923_solaris32.bin -mode=console
** Insufficient disk space! The installer requires:
** 132MB for the BEA Home at /mnt/home2/i817284/sol_usphlcsx0003/wl92 and
** 664MB temporary work space at /var/tmp/aaa1baaJn.
** There is only 0MB available at /mnt/home2.
There are more than enough (several gigs) of free space in all those directories as verified by df -k...
Solution for jar file doesn't work, obviously ;)

bumping this up in hopes of an answer....
it appears that the jar installer works fine, the problem is with .bin installers only.....
in install docs found proposed solution of "use df compatible with used posix" - that must be a joke, right ??
we're supposed to replace df that comes with OS with some version that works with posix used by the installer ?? Really ?@?@?

Photoshop Installer Error "Insufficient Disk Space" but I have more than enough.

I am trying to download the Photoshop CS6 trial. My computer has 2 hard drives, one is full but the other has plenty of space. Yet when I try to install Photoshop, and set it to save on that hard drive, it's not working and says that there's insufficient disk space when there's more than enough on that one. Photoshop tells me I require 1 Gb, I have 600+ Gb, I don't know why it's giving me this proiblem. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've reinstall the Download Assistant several times, I was sure to assign it to the correct hard drive. Same for installing Photoshop. What else can I do to try and solve this problem?
