Error: Disk Space HELP!!

Hey,
I have a big video that I am trying to export to place into iDVD. When it finishes, it says error not enough disk space. I tried saving it to my external drive but the save option isn't available and won't let me save it. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Chase

If you're exporting a self-contained movie in DV quality, you should know that that will require about 13.3gb per hour of footage. So it seems that your drive doesn't have enough space for the export. Either delete some file from the drive to make more room, or purchase additional drives.
FYI, you should maintain a MINIMUM of 10% free space on ALL hard drives for proper performance.

Macbook Pro Slow/Disk space help please

I have mad skills in other areas, but not computer management.    Help appreciated!
My older Macbook Pro is slowing down.   Websites are slow to load, switching from one app to another takes way too long. I looked up reasons and low disk space seems likely. I ran EtreSoft and got the into below.
My confusion: I can't figure out what is taking up 150 gig of space. I have tons of pics and videos, but still only 38 gig worth.
Any advice?   Thanks for your help!

Macbook Pro running slowly/hanging. Says I have 10 gig free but I don’t see what’s taking up the space

You did a good job outlining the potential problems, but I still have some questions:
1. What's the size of your MB's monitor?
2. Have you backed up your data? If not, do so.
3. Aside from the problems you noted, have you observed any other issues?
4. Did you check the internal cables and connectors?
Post with your results!

Eating up hard disk space - help, please!

SCCM 2012 - Prmary Server keeps running out of disk space - HELP!

Hi All,
I have a primary server that has been extended a few times now and cant stretch any more, plus makes no sense as its only going to get filled up again.
I am sitting here with a server and its installation folder at 0bytes. Everytime I recover some space I lose it
I tried running Treesize on the server and I dont get access to some folders in the CM install folder so the reports are not very accurate.
Please can someone point me in the right direction?

Its Microsoft support that told me to delete - eek!
Have already changed to 1 day to see if that tidies things up, didnt last night though but a lot of the files were in Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes\auth\dataldr.box\BADMIFS\DeltaMismatch
So be aware that all of your client will need to preform a full inventory and send that back up to your site. Also be aware that you might need to force some client to do this too. there blog will show you how to do that. But wait for you site to be stable
before doing it. http://be.enhansoft.com/search.aspx?q=force
You can delete anything with the Badmifs folders.

How To resolve "disk space is full" issue when downloading the apps in Creative Cloud Packager

Hello All!
I have recently started using Creative Cloud Packager and have started my first package. I have instructed it to download to my Local D Drive (which has 200GB free) and it has started successfully however about a third of the way through it stops and some of the apps have a warning icon and the error "Disk Space is full, please clear some space and try again". However my D Drive still shows 200GB free which implies that it is not downloading to there at all and also that there is space!
Is there a download cache location which could be full or should it download straight to the folder I instructed?
Can anyone advise on the best way to troubleshoot this please?
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
The cache folder is set in the preferences, under the drop-down 'Welcome' menu.

Adobe Creative Suite 4 Error "Paused-Insufficient Disk Space!" Help!

Hi guys,
I am downloading the Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection CS4 Trial Version and everything went well until the time I downloaded 4 GB out of 5.43 GB. The Akamai Download Manager said: "Paused - Insufficient Disk Space!" I don't know why this would happen. I restarted the Download Manager a couple of times, but they came up with the same error. I don't know what to do! I am installing it on an external hard drive, maybe thats the problem. On my Local Disk I have 9 GB left, so I turned to my external drive, which had 445 GB, but after downloading the 4 GB, has 440 GB left. Can anyone please help me? Attached is a pic of what the error looks like. All help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Getting error code 150110 when installing Reader on Win7 and there is plenty of disk space. Help!

getting error code 150110 when installing Reader on Win7 and there is plenty of disk space. Help!

Hi pat27,
Are you still facing this issue?
Do you have any previous version of Reader installed, if yes and it is 9 or above. Uninstall that using Adobe Reader cleaner tool: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Once that is uninstalled restart your machine and try install again.
Also you may try to create a new user profile with Admin rights and try to install again.

LMS 3.2 server - low disk space error.. Upm.db increasing rapidly......please help

we r facing problem of low disk space error......upm.db file incresing 1 to 2 gb per week.
if this continues our disk will get full & system may get crashed...... pls help

Probably most space is being consumed by CSCOpx\log. To quickly cleanup some logs, you can manuall run the command:
logrot_trunc c:\Progra~1\CSCOpx\log\syslog.log
Assuming this is the correct path on your server. You can also schedule log rotation to occur on a regular basis to avoid the logs growing past a certain point. This can be scheduled under Common Services > Server > Admin > Log Rotation.
Might also be a good idea to check if you have debugging turned on under the various modules in LMS to decrease the speed of the log growth by setting the logging to a lower level.

Adobe Bridge CS5, error when creating contact sheet "There is insufficient disk space..."

I am running Bridge CS5 for the first time and I receive this error when attempting to create a contact sheet. "There is insufficient disk space to complete this operation." The image files I am using are web optimized and very small. The error even occurs when attempting one small image. I have gone back to using Bridge CS4 and it works just fine. Any help?
Thanks!

I think I narrowed this down to having a network volume mounted with a share name of "Users". The strange thing is even you if unmount the volume you will still have problems. However, if you avoid mounting the volume entirely (from boot) it will be OK.
The solution, it appears, is to rename the sharepoint to something other than "Users". This worked for us. I'm not sure if it matters whether the server is Windows or Mac OS. In our case the sharepoint was an AFP volume on Mac OS.
We had other errors related to Bridge such as "unable to create folder" and the path in the message appeared to be /Users/currentUser/..... which made no sense at all. However, if Bridge was internally trying to use /Volumes/Users (the mounted sharepoint), it would not only not find "currentUser", but it would not have permissions to create that folder either.
So, another possible solution could be to grant file creation rights on the network volume "Users". Another not-so-great idea.
Hope that helps someone else!

I am trying to resize disk space on parallels 6 for windows XP under configure Hardrive and I get the error resizing failed unable to resize last volume the file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported? I am on a Mac using Parallels 6

I have been trying to increase my disk space for windows xp on my Imac and I am running parallels 6. before opening windows I go into configure in parallels and open the hard drive and try to move the allotted disk space from 32 gig to 64 or any other increased gig and then apply and I get the error message: resizing failed unable to resize last volume. The file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported. How do I increase the size?? I just also did a disk repair utility with Apple on the Apple side of my IMAC. Please Help!! I had uninstalled SQL server on the windows side and needed to uncompress files to install this and then I ran short on disk space.

This sounds to me that your Parallels XP file system is corrupted and not the OSX file system.
Have you checked the XP file system while running the Parallels XP yet ?
However, it would be better to ask such question in the Parallels Forum http://forum.parallels.com/

"Error:Out of Disk Space" message. Why?

I've been using an Apple G4 with FCP2 to capture footage through a Sony DSR-11 deck. I've set up a LaCie 500GB 7200, with most of its 500GB available, as capture disk. As late as last summer I used this system to capture 70+ hours of footage which was then edited on another system.
This time I've met only problems. I've tried capturing 5 different DV tapes. They seem to be capturing but at the end of the hour I get the message "Error: Out of Disk Space".
Does anyone know why this might be happening? I've checked the set up and everything seems in order. (These tapes are 4:3, the ones captured last year were 16:9 DV, so the only adjustment I had to make was un-checking "anamorphic".) I even tried capturing to the MAC hard drive to see if the problem was the LaCie drive, but I get the same same message. (The LaCie I've been using had been full with last year's capture scratch and the disk had been erased through LaCie's Silverlining program, so for a while I began to think that this may be the problem; that maybe I'd have to reformat the disk, etc. but this test seems to rule that out.)
Thanks.
John

Since I last wrote I’ve changed hard drives, run tests on them, as well as trash my preferences, which I did earlier. Still, if I try to capture a tape (to disks with up to 460 GB available) I get the message “Error: Out of Disk Space”. The only thing I can think of doing now is deleting and then reinstalling the Final Cut software.
Here I’m kind of dumb and don’t want to make any mistakes. This Apple has been a stand-alone computer used only for Final Cut and the software was installed when I got it. The rest of my life has been conducted on a PC. So is there anything I should do before deleting Final Cut? Should I be doing anything to protect exiting project files, captured clips, thumbnail cache etc.? Will Final Cut just recognize these when I re-install? What do I do? Just open the Mac hard drive, identify the Final Cut application and drag it to Trash? Do I need to empty the trash first or should I leave it there for safety?
I look at the instructions that came with my ancient Final Cut 2 disks. Here’s what they say in full:
To install QuickTime, follow these steps
1) Insert the Final Cut Pro CD in your CD drive. (I see I have two disks: one “Final Cut Pro 2”, the other “Final Cut Pro 2:Tutorial Media” Do I need to install the second?)
2) Double-click the CD’s icon, then double-click the QuickTime Installer folder.
3) Double-click the QuickTime Installer icon and follow the onscreen instructions.
4) When the Choose Installation Type window appears, select Custom, then click Continue.
5) In the next window, click Select All, then continue
This replaces any previous versions of QuickTime and ensures a complete installation of all components required by Final Cut Pro.
6) When a message appears saying installation was successful, click Restart.
Is this all straightforward or might there be any potential pitfalls in the above instructions for someone unfamiliar with installing software on a Mac (In my case old software and an old Mac – a G4)? I guess I should also ask if you folks out there agree that re-installing Final Cut may be the answer to my problem, that this error message is the result of a glitch that has arisen in the installed version of Final Cut.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Update download trouble: App Store says, in error, "-not enough free disk space"

I wonder if anyone can help me troubleshoot this... I am unable to download some updates as from the App Store, and instead get an error message that suggests I don't have enough free disk space despite there being over 100GB free.
More detail: after installing Mavericks successfully, I started updating a few applications. While downloading iMovie and iPhoto there was an error - can't recall what the pop-up said, but I think it was a fairly general kind of error message. When I then tried to download them again, the App Store gave me an error message about free disk space, so I deleted a bunch of files and tried again. Same result, same error message ("Your hard disk does not have enough free space"). I checked on free space, however, and at this point I had over 100GB of free space.
I tried deleting the com.apple.storeagent folder in my Library/Caches folder, then trying again. but it made no difference. I've restarted, repaired permissions, verified the disk, restarted again, and I'm still seeing the error.
One odd feature of this problem: in the App Store purchases tab (see screengrab below), the icons for both iMovie and iPhoto are missing/broken, which might just point the way to what is going wrong.
System details:
IMac 27", 2009
2.8GHz i7
12GB RAM
Running OS X 10.9
Couple of screengrabs to illustrate:

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Time Machine
If the padlock icon is closed, click it to unlock the settings and authenticate. Turn Time Machine OFF, then turn it backON and close the preference pane. Wait a few minutes, then try the operation again.

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!
