Excessive space needed for photos?

I've got a 368kb folder of photos I want to sync to my iPod Nano, and it won't sync unless there's a ridiculous amount of free space on my iPod. It wouldn't do it at 50mb free, but it finally gave at 75mb. Why in the world would I need that much space available for that little amount?
I've got the latest version of iTunes and latest updates for the Nano. Thanks in advance.

Hello btabz,
Thank you for your reply. Here are the steps I have taken before, and to be sure, I just did them all again:
1. Checked to see if there were any software/firmware updates available for iTunes/the iPod nano. I am up to date with both.
2. Did a complete restore on the iPod to make sure there are no hidden files that may be using extra space anywhere.
3. When setting up my iPod again in iTunes, I unchecked the options to automatically update and automatically add pictures. I then went to the iPod options and selected the option to automatically update from a playlist, leaving all the bottom options in the iPod tab at the default settings. The playlist is 850mb on a 1gb nano, leaving me with 32.7mb free.
4. I then went back to the iPod options to choose to sync photos from a newly created folder, completely outside the previous directory I had tried before. The folder and the 22 pictures in it make up only 512kb. After an attempted sync, I get the error that there is not enough room for my photos and music, so the pictures don't ever make it to the iPod.
5. After reducing the playlist size to 831.4mb (leaving 50.4mb free on the iPod), the pictures sync with no errors reported.
I hope I've given a detailed enough description. I appreciate any more feedback.

Space needed for AutoCAD, Pro/E in Bootcamp

I am entering college in the fall and am planning to go into mechanical engineering. This means I will need to run several engineering programs such as AutoCAD and Pro/E on my 13" MacBook Pro. How much space should I give windows 7 to be able to run these programs comfortably?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
40GB for Windows 7 alone is considered a good choice round here.
Add to that the amount of diskspace needed by the programs you want to install/use plus the space needed for your files.
I don't run Autocad or something similar so I am not familiar with the diskpace it and the user files need.

Space needed for Photoshop Elements 9

Hi. I am an amateur photo taker but want to step it up a bit and am considering getting Elements 9. I recently purchased a small NETbook to use just for photos- to alter them and post them online and then I will be saving them on an external hard drive or CD due to space limitations. The computer only came with 2gb of space. I am afraid that if i purchase elements, it might not load. My external hard drive has quite a bit of space available so I was thinking I could run the installation through that for the spaces needed. I was curious if anyone knew if it would falter during the install. I just tried to download the trail on my work computer which has 3.13gb of space free and that said not enough space. so now I am worried.

You may also experience display problems e.g. not seeing all of the program real estate.
A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE9 requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality.

Space needed for os update on ipad

Trying to update to iOS 7.0.3 but keep getting error message, what is the space needed to update, please

No way to know exactly, but between 800MB and 1.3GB. Since the installer file comes compressed, more room is needed to contain the original AND the unpacked result till everything checks out and the new replaces the old.
All this cause you're doing Over The Air updating.
If you do it thru iTunes and a computer, the installer gets downloaded and unpacked there, then only written onto the final resting spot on the iPad's storage. Thereby requiring drastically less room.

Space Change for Photos to be Printed PSCS3

Namaste'
I need some help. I am in the process of having a book printed and i am using some photos which were scanned BOTH from negatives and some from photos themselves. They are all B&W or Sepia like (yellowed). They were all scanned into sRGB @300 dpi. I have changed them all to B&W or Greyscale,
My 3 questions are these:
1). DO I need to change the color space to something before printing? (Example, I made a Calendar and my friend changed all the images to another color space - he didn't tell me what it was.) All of the images were in the old Adobe color space. So I don't know what he did. And all these images will be in B&W or Greyscale, so do I need to do anything with them?
2) Should the images be put into B&W or Greyscale before printing. Actually, under Image>Mode, it changes it to Greyscale and throws away all color info. Under Adjustments>Black and White, it changes it to B&W and still keeps color info. I am not clear, and some are already changed to Greyscale.
3) Is there anything I need to know before finalizing these images for printing?
They are not all in 300dpi or better, as they were scanned into 300dpi, but I have cropped some of them. Still, in trials, they look good to print.
They will be about 4.75" x 5.75" and printed on semi gloss paper.
I have never done this before, and am basically on my own now.
Can anyone clear this up for me???
I deeply appreciate it.
A-Girl

Thank you for your reply.
Firstly, I did apply "layers" when I changed the images, but NOT for the Greyscale ones.
Secondly, the images are old and already have deep blacks and shadows that I need to have adjusted to bring out more detail without making the image too light.
I am going to the printer tomorrow and will go over each and every issue, if I can, since they are usually busy and you have to run after them to get answers. But I will do it.
So, are you saying that I should either use all greyscale or all B&W, and not mix?
Since I have already used Greyscale and the change back is not possible, them I should go all for greyscale, I suppose.

Space needed for Time Machine backups?

I have a 160 gb macbook pro and am wondering how much space I would need on an external hard drive if I plan on backing up with Time Machine. I bought a 500 gb drive already, but would also like to use it for backing up a pc computer and don't know if I have enough space for both. Any advice would be appreciated!

In addition to Bob's advice, note that you should partition the drive, so Time Machine has it's own, exclusive space.
See #5 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum) for formatting instructions.
You'll have to figure out what Format to apply to the second partition for the PC backups, probably either MS-DOTS(FAT) or ExFAT.

sorry for the long post; basically I fairly new to flash and
not familair with actionscript at all. I figure that most of what
is need is number signifing the speeds. Which i added by removing
the curly brackets and adding a number,
i.e var maxitems=parseInt("10",10);
but I dont know how to insert my images....I've tried
various things but i only end up with empty spinning boxes.
If someone could start me off with where i put the images i
may be able to complete it myself , but the more help the better
really as I dont really have a clue and I dont know where to look
for basic knowledge on actionscript language.
Thanks alot in advance,
Liz

A thought about HD sizes and mimimum disk space needed for OS X

This has just occurred to me and I am looking for more accurate numbers to help advise posters here, more accurately, when the situation occurs.
In this day and age of Macs with 500 Gigabyte and 1-4 Terrabyte drives, do we still need to tell people that have filled up their Macs' HDs that they need to leave 15-20 % of the total drive size free for OS X to still work properly.
Because this, actually, equates to a mimimum of 100 Gigabytes to, at least, 200 Gigabytes or more, for larger drives, of drive space that needs to be cleared of data! Just to have enough drive space for OS X?
Does anyone else thinks that this is a ridiculous amount that OS X, by itself, actually needs to run smoothly?
Does anyone here have a better estimation of just how many GBs OS X uses on an average basis?
I would rather have a more realistic size to have remaining on a hard drive than to keep using the percentage rule.
I know the percentage rule was used in the day when we had smaller capacity drives, so it would still apply in those situations.
But I do not think it no longer applies when drive capacities are so much larger today and getting larger.
Any thoughts and more realistic numbers welcome.

At 18% you start hitting where finding and writiing files and longer seeks as well as fragmentation starts to play a role.
Mac Pro has 4 internal drives. Most learn to keep lean mean boot drives.
Video and graphic or medfia storage perfrmance drops off at 70% level even with an array though you can push past that.
The only people that should be concerned are those with single dirve setups and that don't have the luxury of just pulling drive sled and upgrading.
I keep boot drive @ 50%. I don't like having all my files in one basket. And backups are external as well.
Below 10% you should be getting low on space error messages and it is the directory as I said that may not be large enough or fragmented. And a clone will help. Disk Warrior buiids a single non-fragmented while TechTool Pro will write if necessary if it can't write or create a directory.
Re-initializing your drives with each new OS or change under the hood is also a good idea as there are changes to partition structure that an update may try to modify but never like having the drive initialized.
If you are looking and won't take no for an answer fine. Seems like you have what you want the answer to be and looking for something to support it.

Minimum ram and hdd space need for windows 7

What is the minimum of ram and hdd space memory to use with windows 7. Is the windows 7 faster than vista on the same machine ? thansk
Nothing is impossible

BillWindows said: (...) I bought 4g ddr2 for (...) I think most people should be able to afford an upgrade.
Sorry, but I disagree fundamentally here. While it is true that RAM prices have come down since XP was released, there are many machines out there for which you can't just buy regular RAM around the corner. Either because the systems were designed so that only a certain amount of RAM can be used (e.g., 128 MB on one of my VAIOs) or because they use a special socket or because you are not allowed to open the case or for whatever other reason you can think of.
I am not necessarily complaining. But I frequently hear that Microsoft wants to sell Windows 7 upgrades to XP owners. So if Microsoft wants to upgrade XP owners to Windows 7, they should better make sure that technical requirements are less or equal to those of XP.
And no, it's not given by nature that newer OSes always need to become fatter, slower, and more RAM hungry: have a look at Mac OS X which actually improved performance over the past releases, even on older machines.
Also, before you flame me, I'm not just caring about "museum age" computers. I bought a netbook just months ago and it came with 1 GB of RAM. Warranty is void if I open the case. So I can't "just" upgrade to more than 1 GB RAM.

How much TEMP space needed for datapump import?

How does one accurately predict how much TEMP table-space is needed prior to starting a data-pump import (via impdp)? I need a way to predetermine this BEFORE starting the import. It is my understanding that in data-pump imports, temp table-spaces are primarily used for the building of indexes among other operations.

Yes, I could use autoextend but that just shifts the problem of checking the logical table-space size to checking the physical space to see that it has enough room to extend.
I was really hoping for a formula to calculate the amount of TEMP space it would take up. For example, RichardHarrison's post above about setting the TEMP table-space size to be twice as large as the largest index, but wasn't sure on the accuracy of that statement. I was hoping someone has encountered this kind of scenario before and found an accurate way to predict how much space is really needed, or a good estimate to go by.
I will try out the idea of setting the TEMP space size to be twice the size of the largest index and see how that goes, as it doesn't seem there is a practical way of accurately determining how much space it really needs.
Thanks everyone.
Ben.

Re how much disc space needed for TM?

Hi..
I have 2 x 500 gb and 1 x 300 gb storage on my machine. Can I use one of the 500 for time machine for only TM, of both of the others drives... so does it compress?
For instance a 100GB film project needs backing up. If I use time machine how much space will it use. The same? If the project is 1 month long and worked on every day.
Can I then delete it from time machine afterwards. Then clear the whole computer for the next project?

General opinion says TM requires twice the room of the backed up data, so a 100 GB film project would be adequately catered for on your 500 GB external partition.
But consider the nature of TM backup pattern:
every hour for the most recent 24 hrs,
every day for the most recent week,
every week for the most recent month,
So if you saved your project every hour a day for 20 working days a month, there would not be 160 incremental versions, but only
8 saves in the most recent day (business hours)
5 saves at the end of each day of the last week (working week)
3 saves of each of the preceding three weeks of the last month (plus the current week)
So TM does not function like a continuous archive, but is more of a recovery application for the day, the last 7 days, or the last 3 'Fridays' of the last month. Something to think about.
I forgot to answer your last query, yes, a TM backup can be deleted.

Height of space needed for Whirlpool Fridg

I am going to purschase a Whirpool French Door Fridg Model WRF560SEY, the dimensions of the fridge are fine for my opening but only leave me with a 1/4" on top, the installation documentation ask for 1/2 " on each side and top thoguh. Will it be okay if I have 1/4" on top, each of the sides have about 2" free.
Thanks.

Hi mrtpoon-
I think this might be a question best answered by the manufacturer. My guess is that maybe this is a ventilation issue, but I would recommend going to Whirlpool's site to see if you can get some answers. Here's a link to their support site:
