HT1229 an error message while trying to import photos to IPhoto saying there is not enough room.

I have an IMac with a SS drive and a regular hard drive (1 TB). I'm starting to get an error message when importing photos to Iphoto that says there's not enough room on the hard drive. The SS drive says it has only 1 GB left on it, so obviously, somehow the setup is that the Iphoto library is on THAT hard drive and not on the regular one. How do I find the right "library" and how do I move it and where?
Thanks.

The only way I could fix this was to dowload a free program called iFunBox. Once you've installed that and have it open on OSX, plug in your idevice/ iPhone etc (note: you may need to close any other Application that auto-accesses the device, like iTunes, iPhoto or image capture), then from the left side panel in iFunBox navigate to "Raw file system" then go to the following folder:
>DCIM>100Apple
...then browse to the video/ image(s) required and drag them to the folder you wish to go on your Mac.
This worked for me first time.
Good luck.

  • All of a sudden I am getting an "unreadable files" message when trying to import photos to iphoto, how do I fix

    Why am I all of a sudden getting an unreadable file message when trying to import photos to iphoto from the card in my Nikon camera?  I have done this many times before with no problem.

    Can you access the files from Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)?
    Have you tried a USB Card Reader?
    Have you tried reformatting the card with the Camera?

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

  • Get an error message when importing from iPhoto says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space."

    I get an error message when importing from iPhoto that says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space." the drive is empty, I just reformatted it to Mac OSX journaled.

    I'm guessing this is an extrenal drive, correct? If so make sure the library you're importimng into is really located on the external drive. By default Aperture creates its library in your home pictures folder.

  • Error message when trying to import photos into Bridge CS5

    Hi, when trying to import photos from a card reader into Bridge CS5, I click "get Photos" and get the following error message: "cannot obtain all files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged". It imports a small selection of the images from the sd card but that is all. I'm currently using a Windows 7 desktop computer with plenty of ram.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi station_two, thanks for your quick response.
    I can confirm that its not the card reader/cable, usb port, defective sd card or the computer itself. I have already eliminated all these potential culprits through trial and error using different several ports/cards/readers and even a different computer (although not into bridge).
    I am able to copy the photos from the same card/card reader into Lightroom on the same computer (incidentally, when using Lightroom it uses the term 'Import photos'!)
    I am using a number of Panasonic Lumix Micro 4/3s cameras (GH1/GF1/GX1). The sd cards have a combination of RAW and JPEG and the problem exists whether using 4GB or 16GB cards. I have plenty of space left on my hard drive and as stated, I'm running a fast desktop PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS) so I'm certain this is not the issue.
    Could this possibly be a problem with the cache?

  • Can not update iPod Nano, brand new and error says there is not enough room

    I just purchased my son a 1 gig nano. After registering and setting up options for updates. I got a message saying that it could not update because there wasn't enough room. I was trying to download less than 100 songs and all of them have been downloaded from iTunes. I have already completed the "5R's" as suggested in the troubleshooting section and it still will not update. iTunes recognizes his iPod, all software has been updated, I've reset and restarted. Very frustrated and my 11 year old is very devestated. Could someone please help?
    Thank you

    There's not an actual limit number to the ammount of songs that any iPod can hold. It's all size dependant. You might have simply downloaded a lot of large songs. When you're in iTunes check at the bottom of the screen to see how many megs or gig they actually take up. And keep in mind a 1 gig iPod isn't actually 1 gig. There is always a bit of space used up by system files and whatnot.

  • Error message while trying to sync photos

    While trying to sync my photos to my new iPod Classic (80G), I get an error message that says "Some of your photos were not copied to the iPod because they can not be displayed on your iPod." In reality, NONE of my photos were copied. They're JPEG (about 1M each). HELP!!

  • Lightroom Error message when trying to import photos.

    I have a Canon 6D and Apple laptop with latest versions of software that I am aware of. Tonight I tried to import images from Micro SD card (inserted directly into laptop) but each time I am getting an error message stating that it can not read my files. It has previously downloaded files from this camera and memory card. The error message is generally giving the number 337 but has also given 555 and 1. I am not sure what has changed and do not know how to fix it. I have tried leaving the SD card in the camera and connecting it directly to the laptop via the cable and it gives the same message. I have also tried googling these error codes but can't make out specifics of the problem and how to fix it.

    The “Cannot be Read” message when using LR to import directly from the card or camera means the DESTINATION you have specified in LR is not writable by LR.  LR first copies the files to that destination, then LR tries to read the files from there, and it is the second step, the read, that gives the error.
    Check your destination and make sure it is where you intend LR to be importing the files to off the card, and make sure it is writable.

  • Error message while trying to import a track of a CD...."track cannot be...

    imported because it does not appear to be a valid exported file". This relates to track 09cda and always seems to be with track 09. What the heck is up with this?
    Anyone got experience with this and, better yet, a solution?

    No answers, but I've got exactly the same problem - except on mine it happens with Track 3 and Track 9.

    Are you able to burn a disk of any kind from the Finder? Try this: OS X Mountain Lion: Use Apple Hardware Test..
    It would help if we knew what version of system and iPhoto you're using?

  • I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2  I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?

    I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2  I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?
    I had an important app. (Memos by bluemarblesoftware.com) that I accidentally deleted. It of course had many memos, some with quite a lot of information. I did sync my phone on a regular basis and I think the memos should be on the desktop computer. I tried to do a restore function but I got a message saying there was not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is needed?

    generally you need 1.90gb
    what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution.

  • Camera Message: There is not enough room to take additional pictures.

    Hello,
    I have the new 16 gb iPhone 3G and am running in to several issues. When I push the camera icon I get the message, "There is not enough room to take additional pictures. Please delete some existing photos." I have removed all of my albums as well as reset the device. I just did a full restore and am still having the same problem.
    I have also had a problem with apps shutting down unexpectedly. This happens 1 out of every 3 times I open Safari as well as with a plethora of other programs.
    The handset has restarted unexpectedly several times with no warning whatsoever.
    Every now and then the on screen keyboard will run absurdly slow. It will take 2 to 3 seconds from the time I push a key for it to show on the screen.
    I am also running slow when trying to scroll on a web page as well as when viewing photos, selecting applications, viewing photos, etc.
    Have there been any known bugs in the new software/hardware. I am getting a bit frustrated with my new toy. It is embarrassing to show off a new app and then to have it shut down for no reason. Any advice?

    The Lens/Restart trick doesn't work for me. I tried this and many more hints but the camera stays shut, saying "There is not enough room to take additional pictures. Please delete some existing photos." In German "Kein Platz mehr für die Aufnahme weiterer Bilder. Bitte löschen Sie einige der vorhandenen Fotos." This started when I had the first pictures sychronized from iPhone. Before that, the camera worked just fine. After having some external pictures on my phone, the camera quit working.
    Did anyone try the 2.01 Update, and did they fix it? It has to be software related, as my phone never hit the ground or anything.
    Any more experiences much appreciated!
