How much ios 5 backup space required

I had roughly 7 GB space left on my macbook when I updated to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4. During updating, it said I needed 18GB to back up all the media on my iPhone (we have 2 kids so all the pics and video take up a lot of space!). So, I moved my music folder temporarily to the external and the install went all fine. After installed, I moved my music folder back, had the roughly 7GB left. However, now when I'm syncing the computer keeps running out of space and I get a message that the hard disk is almost full and the iPhone never completes a backup. So, I'd move data off the computer, free up a few GB of space and try syncing. During the backup portion of the sync, all the space would get eaten up and I'd get the hard disk is full message. I've gone though this process 3 or 4 times now, having deleted or moved a total of about 10GB off my computer. I'm currently down to 125.1 MB of space again.
I checked the size of the backup folder and it clocks in at 33GB. I only have a 32GB iPhone and have 2 GB of space free on it. So, shouldn't the backup be significantly less than the 33GB it now shows?
I'm perplexed because I don't know where all my free space is going and why is the backup folder bigger than the actual size of the iphone? Plus I can't backup my phone.

If you haven't figured this out yet, check out here.
I had never downloaded the apps the way that is described here. Didn't even know I could.
Also, after doing multiple "Transfer Purchases" I found I had two of my apps on my phone were no longer available (one was a discontinued free version of a now exclusive pay app) and I had to delete them from the phone before I could get a clean "Transfer Purchases" i.e. one where there was nothing to transfer because they were already downloaded directly to itunes from the page you get to in the store clicking on the new "Purchased" page. Then I just synced again, backed up again, and did the update and it finally worked! Yay!

How much hard disk free space?

My mini is used almost exclusively as a media "appliance", hooked up to a large flat panel TV. Installed on the mini itself is the operating system and little more. Attached to it are several (currently 4) large (1 TB) firewire hard drives crammed with movies and TV episodes (I have digitized my extensive DVD collection with Handbrake plus I have nearly stopped buying new DVDs in favor of downloading from iTunes).
My question is how much (what percentage) of these external drives needs to be left empty in order for them to operate with reasonable efficiency. They are virtually "read only" in that once I have uploaded a video file to them, it sits there until and unless I want to watch it (or unless I decide to download it to my MacBook and/or iPad to take with me for watching on trips).
I recall reading years ago that one should keep 10% or so of a hard disk free. Elsewhere, I read it should be as much as 20%. But it strikes me that that would mainly apply to a start-up drive that is constantly being read and written to, not a drive like mine that mainly just stores files and occasionally reads from them.
To re-emphasize, I keep much of my start-up drive free except what's required for the OS so the issue isn't that but just the external storage drives. I hate to waste as much as 400GB of space (100GB on each of four 1 TB drives).

I think your argument has some validity, but since you have a lot of time and effort invested in this project, I personally wouldn't try to cut things too close to the bone.
With drives of that size, I'm comfortable with the 10% rule; perhaps even 5%.
However, with the price of drives falling, perhaps gradually transitioning to larger capacity drives would be a good idea.
My understanding is that most modern drives dynamically re-allocate data from sectors that the drive controller senses are going to fail -- so having an adequate percentage of "wiggle room" makes sense to me.
"Wiggle room" may also come in handy if you ever need to rescue a drive using a utility like DiskWarrior, which needs space to rebuild directory structures.

How Much Memory Does RECORD VIDEO Require?

I want to record a video iChat that could go for ninety minutes. How much memory would that take?
Thank you,

Welcome to Discussions, Sandolini
In addition to the info that Ralph has already provided, I offer one additional thought.
Ralph is my guru on iChat, so I am sure he can correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe that iChat 4 (the one in your posted Mac OS X 10.5.8 system info) adjusts camera frame rates and possibly video window size based on connection and processor speeds. I also seem to recall that the maximum video size for iChat 4 is 320x240.
iChat 4's video size/quality decisions are made based on the info from both ends of the video connection. If I am correct, different users could, therefore, experience different video data capture rates, possibly even when connecting to different chat contacts. These capture rates translate directly into different file sizes for recorded videos. In any case, most iChat 4 recordings (maximum size of 320x240) are likely to be considerably smaller (at least one-fourth to one-third smaller) than the 640x480 video iMovie captures from external iSight.
My suggestion is that you record a one minute test, if possible with the same video chat connection. If recording success will be a critical, one-opportunity-only event, you may wish to make several one minute tests to see if there is enough variability that you must account for it. Once you know the file size for a one minute recording, you can calculate ninety times that to find the maximum estimated space required for your ninety minute recording.
When determining your needed space, be sure you leave the extra space Ralph recommends.

Is there any application or plug in that anyone knows of that could tell me how much free hard drive space i have left on my mac? Thanks so much. . .

I'm looking for an application or plug in that can tell me how much free space I have available on my hard drive left for my MacBook Air, thanks so much!

***Correction***
The other way to do this is to choose About this Mac under the Apple menu. When the window appears, click on More Info, and then choose Storage from the selection of tabs at the top.

How much knowledge of ABAP is required, if you are working as SAP BI consu

Hi,
How much knowledge of ABAP (coding) is required if you are working as SAP BI consultant.
Can anyone provide me some link that can give me a brief overview of routine writing in ABAP.
Abhi

Hi Abhi,
Welcome to SDN!
If you are working as a BI Consultant it's good to have ABAP knowledge. Because In BI we use ABAP mainly in writing Routines, Functional Modules, etc.
Please go through the below doc on Routines in BI

Hope it helps.

New IOS 4 update space required?

I have a 3g and won't use much of the 4.2 update. So, why does the OS take up over 1.2 gig of space on my phone? It seriously puts a dent in storage space. Why can't there be a way of installing only what my phone can use? Why does the IOS need to be so bloated?

The OS does not take up 1.2 gb. You most likely have some corrupted files on your iPhone bloating the Other space. Try doing a restore to correct it.

Time Machine Very Large Backup Space Requirements

I'm having a bit of trouble with Time Machine. I recently recreated a User Account. The old User account's home library permissions had become corrupt. Rather than try to sort through the permissions, I opted to just move all the personal data to another account (the primary admin), delete the old user account, recreate it, and move all the personal data to the new account. This worked splendidly. However, now Time Machine claims it needs about 2.1 TB to do it's next backup. I find this odd because a full backup is estimated as only 384 GB, and the computer's hard drive is only 1 TB to begin with. So, it needs a factor of 2 more space than is available on the computer. So, there is something amiss. I imagine Time Machine tracked the data being moved to the admin account and to the new account, and it wants to back all of this up. I don't want it to do that. Is there someway to cause Time Machine to forget the most recent changes?
Clearly, I don't want Time Machine to not backup the new account's information. However, I'm would like not to loose the previous backups. Any solutions?

Hello again:
Erasing and then formatting the Time Machine volume and having Time Machine make a new backup would be the way I would do it.
As an aside, I use two external hard drives. I have Time Machine set to make alternating backups on the externals, and I also make a bootable clone (SuperDuper!) on one of the externals. Short of a meltdown, I am reasonably well protected.

ASR9k IOS-XR upgrade space required - bytes or bits?

While reading through the upgrade doc for 5.2.2, I found an inconsistency in the documentation.
http://www.cisco.com/web/Cisco_IOS_XR_Software/pdf/ASR9k_Upgrade_Downgrade_Procedure_IOSXR_Rel_522.pdf
Under section 2 - verifications, step 5 - check disk space, the doc says you need 1.54 GB (capital B) for upgrade. But when I run the command 'show filesystem' the directory sizes are listed as b (lowercase b).
I suspect the IOS-XR output is wrong (lower b should be capital B) 2685895680 b is only 0.3357 GB

1)this you can check from your old backup size.add a little to it and that is your backup space requirement.
2)if space is not there then failed backup is corrupt.other old backups remain intect.
3)you need to shutdown database for copying folder or put data files in backup mode(id archivelogs are enable on database).
4)you can check original database files dba_data_files,v$controlfile views and as point 3 is valid on them if you using copy paste rather then RMAN.
5)when taking backup from rman use
RMAN> RUN {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL d1 DEVICE TYPE DISK
FORMAT '/u01/backups/%U';
BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;
RELEASE CHANNEL;
}In format clause you can give disk location.

When buying a MacBook on a payment plan, how much is required for a downpayment?

I'm going to buy a MacBook today (I haven't decided between the Air or the Pro yet) and im going to use the student payment plan (I'm still in highschool) and I was curious as to how much of a downpayment is required to walk away with the computer that same day? Or is there a downpayment required at all?

You would have to ask the business you are purchasing the mac from, or the creditor allowing you to use the payment plan. I'm sure it depends on how much the price is, among other things.

How much space on the hard/flash drive does the Operating System use on the macbook

I Would like to buy a MacBook but the actual space on the flash hard drive is quite minimal. How much of this small space does the operating system use?

In order for Yosemite needs to have at least 10 GB of free space for the use of OS X and the things it does. If you have less then that the performance with start to degrade until eventually OS X will freeze up.
If you think you will be getting close to that you might want to consider getting and external disk drive where you can store some of your file such as music, videos movies and photos.

On a 8 GB iphone how much space does iOS 6 or iOS 7 take up?

No one can tell you specifically, as it will vary by device and user and according to your personal data on the device etc. But, you can expect anywhere roughly around 175-195MB.

How much free space do you need on a 16 GB Iphone in order to backup restore it?

So I've recently gotten a new phone, and it will not connect to wifi and the battery life stinks. When I called Apple Care, they told me to restore it, but its saying I don't have enough memory to restore. I have over 4 GB though, so why is it saying theres not enough memory on my Iphone? How much memory do you need?

iOS 7 requires space on the iphone memory to install. Make sure your stuff is backed up to both iCloud and iTunes. When connected to iTues and your phone appears on the left side click the right mouse button to bring up a dropdown box. First select, transfer purchases then backup and then finally sync. Unpluf your iPhone. Delete off of your iPhone and big programs, movies, videos or photos (make sure these are all backed up first to iCloud. Turn off find my iPhone. Connect back to iTunes and perform a restore. This will take a long time 2-4 hours depending how much you have on your phone. Good luck.

How much space to backup my mac mini

My mac mini was running on 512 GB's
I've increased to 2GB
How much space do I need to do a full backup before upgrading?
I thought 2GB usb would be enough, but I obviously figured wrong....
advice?

"Backup" requires as much space on your Hard Disk Drive (and NOT your RAM Memory).
Your HDD is probably something like 80GB? 120GB? 250GB? 500GB? - depending on how old it is, and if the hard disc has been upgraded.
Select your hard disc drive (top right of your desktop? - often called "Macintosh HD") and in the Finder go "File:Get Info...."
What does it say under "Capacity"?
And you won't be able to backup to a USB stick - not big enough! You'll need an external hard disc drive, like this:
