HT203177 message indicates back up disc not large enough

Time machine back up fails because of lack of space. Isn't it supposed to automatically eliminate the oldest backups to make room?

I thought it should. Here is the site of the Time Machine expert:

  • Itunes gift card message indicates that it was not properly activated. What should I do?

    Itunes gift card message indicates that it was not properly activated. What should I do? I've verified the "gift number" that I input three times already and each submission was ascertained to be correct. What should I do next?

    GM Clay,
    The activation is supposed to be done at the Point Of Sale.  If you know the retailer that sold you the card, take it up with them.  If that doesn't work, contact iTunes Customer Service:

  • Error message states that I do not have enough hard disk room

    I was loading some pictures onto my macbook and the photos did not load properly. I have around 4,200 current photos. There is 29 GB left on my hard drive. I can not see the last "event" of photos. Looking through preview I see some on my last photos and some are there but do not show up in iphoto. Now I am getting an error message that states I do not have enough disk space therefore the library is not saving. I am now locked out of downloading files from safari, or even itunes.
    I am lost as to what to do next. please send me in the right direction. thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple forums:
    Are you referring to the TimeMachine harddrive?
    If you are referring to your internal drive, you may get more information in the Leopard Install and Setup forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1219
    In general you need to have at the very minimum, 10% or your HD free. Your drive may be completely full, depending on how large it is, which you don't say. The amount of freespace on an HD varies as the system swaps files on and off of it.
    Be sure you have everything backed up, just in case.

  • Keep Buffer Cache Not Large Enough

    What happens if I pin a table/index in the keep buffer cache but the keep buffer cache is not large enough? How does oracle determine what to initially put into the keep buffer cache and what to leave out?

    >
    Well, I got some of them directly from the Oracle docs:
    “A good candidate for a segment to put into the KEEP
    pool is a segment that is smaller than 10% of the
    size of the DEFAULT buffer pool and has incurred at
    least 1% of the total I/Os in the system”.
    But the rules you quoted in your previous post were - not the rule you got from Oracle !
    - Use the KEEP pool if the object consumes more than 10% of the total size of the data buffer.
    - Use the KEEP pool if more than 50% of the objects blocks already resides in the data buffer, according to an x$bh query.
    But I agree, I use my own set of decision rules, which vary by system.
    There is no "one size fits all" set of rules . . . . . But you just said you use the rules you got from Oracle in the previous post that:
    The placement criteria for tables and indexes into the KEEP buffer are straightforward:
    Please make up your mind.
    By the way, your script hot_buffers.sql from the page you mentioned above has a few errors in it. The join between x$bh and dba_objects should be on data_object_id, not on object_id; and by joining dba_objects to dba_segments on object_name = segment_name you've introduced a lot of errors relating to index-organised tables, partitioned tables, clusters etc.
    Please see Metalink note: 135223.1. Although it's got a couple of things in it that appeared back in the days of 8i (the original document was written in 1998 I believe) it has a better analysis of the issues.

    Is there really nobody else with this problem? Really?

    I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

    Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
    Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
    You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
    Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
    Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

    You delete content from the iPad and/or update it from iTunes on a computer.
    iCloud space is separate from that on the device.

  • Back-Up Disc Not Reloading To Computer

    I had to repartition and reinstall all my software to factory settings.  I made the file back up discs with my pictures and documents on them.  I really want to be able to get my pictures back.  How do I get these items off the disc and back on my computer

    I did the back up disc through the HP back up system on my computer.  It is showing some folders with system restore back ups but there is nothing that will restore.  I had backed up all my pictures (or so I thought( and I could find but about 50 pictures in the folder.

  • Disk Not Large Enough

    I have been using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for a long time. This morning I got a message, that Time Machine will not back up because the file size is 150 GB and the space available is 9GB. What can I do? I thought Time Machine would make space on the disk as necessary. Thanks.

    Is there anything else on your TC besides TM backups?
    Are other Macs backing up to it?
    What are the sizes involved -- how much data is on your system (the +Estimated size of full backup+ under the exclusion box in TM Preferences > Options), and how large is the TC's disk?
    If the TC isn't well over twice the size of the data it's backing-up, that may be the problem. If Time Machine is doing a new, full backup for some reason (such as a very long time between backups, as Musicwind suggests), there won't be room. Time Machine will never delete your last remaining backup, so to do a new one will require enough space for two full backups, plus 20% for workspace.
    If in doubt, Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Navigate to the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages for that run here (although if there's a long series of backup deletions, please skip most of that).
