Can't restore from backup because not enough space on iphone? huh?
I am trying to simply restore my iphone from a backup on my laptop because I accidentally deleted an app of mine with important data. When I go to restore the iphone though from a backup it tells me that it can't restore b/c not enough space on iphone. I don't see how that makes sense since if it's a backup from the same iphone I'm using, how can there ever not be enough space to restore it? I've also already searched other peoples problems and my hard disk has plenty of space on it where itunes and the backups are installed. I've tried moving the temp and tmp folders but that didn't do anything.
I restored to an older backup which seemed to go through but now when I then try to restore to a newer backup it says on the phone "restore complete" and then it gives me same error message on computer. When I look at phone it seems to have restored my notes and contacts, but not my SMS or my calendar.

Can I select or deselect what all is restored from backup? Not enough space
I was low on space. Did a backup in itunes. Deleted a bunch of stuff and was having trouble restoring so I did a software upgrade. I didn't have enough room to do the software upgrade before deleting all my stuff. Now that I have updated the software, I cannot restore from backup. Is there anyway to deselect some items to be restored? I would like my messages back. I can manually put pics and songs back on. Thanks for your help.
yes you could exclude the system folders and whatever else you want.
If you have space on your external drive, I would recommend letting it back up everything. If something did happen, you could restore your whole system much more easily that way. All you would have to do is insert and boot off the Leopard install DVD and follow the menu's to restore your machine from a Time Machine Backup.
If you don't backup your entire drive (including the system folders, etc). then you would have to reinstall Leopard, reinstall all your applications, and then restore your files from your time machine backup. -
Can not restore i phone because not enough space due to having 16GB and update being off my 32GB
I have got a new iophone 5s 16GB, lost my 4s 32GB, the back up is too large to be put on the new phone any ideas please please please
There is really not much you can do here, unless you exchange the 16GB for a 32GB.

I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!! HELP! iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.
If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades. -
"You can't restore this backup because it was created by a different model"
I've been using TM from my Mac Mini to Macbook extensively due to my remote locations and due to the fact that i am always on the run and need to have same apps in both computers. Now after having no probs and fully satisfied with my apple products i stumbled into this: "You can't restore this backup because it was created by a different model of mac". Can someone explain me how on earth did this happen after all these times?? Any suggestions? What are my alternatives?
I tried the superduper image but image of my Mac Mini contains different system info from the Macbook componenets i guess, since they use different installation discs. In the end of the day i guess i will have to use the install dvd and then the migration assistant, but why did TM Restore failed me so much?I can only assume you tried restoring an entire system thus causing the error to avoid installing a Mini system on the MacBook or vice-versa. Transferring an application shouldn't bee a problem, but restoring the entire OS would be.
It isn't clear exactly what you need to do, but my assessment is that you should be using a different utility such as one of the following:
Backup Software Recommendations
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

TS4036 itunes could not restore the iphone because not enough free space is available on the iphone
On April 13, 2013 i plugged my phone in and itunes immediately started an upgrade on my iphone 4 operating system to ios 6.1.3. ONce it completed my phone was restored to factury settings. When i tried restore my backup to the phone, i got the following message
itunes could not restore the iphone because not enough free space is available on the iphone
I am so ****** because i can't figure out a way to at least get my photos from this back...its all lost
I spoke with an Apple rep that day named Jamie who was supposed to help me retrieve my data, but we couldn't figure it out and he asked me to call back in a day or so to get it done. When I called back, i left several messages and got no response. Now i try calling support and they want money before they will talk to me.
Somebody please help.
ThanksIf you restored your phone as new there should be plenty of free space on it. Check Settings>General>Usage to see how much free space you have.
Is your backup on your computer or in iCloud? -
I just replaced my iPhone 5 because of a cracked face. I backed up the old phone to iTunes. When I tried to restore my data off of iTunes to the new phone, I got an error message saying that iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available on the new iPhone. Now what?
I have Apple Care+, but I'll be darned if I can find any way to contact anyone at Apple to talk to about this. They take your money, but make darned sure they don't have to support you unless you jump through a bunch of hoops first, like this site.I've done a restore.. The phone was completely wiped back to factory settings.. It then tells me there isn't enough space on the phone to restore from back up? How when the phone is empty?!

"iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available of the iPhone"??????
Before updating to iOS6, I backed my iPhone up onto my PC, as I am aware that when updating an iPhone things like notes, contacts etc tend to disappear. However, after the update was complete, when I tried to 'restore back up' I keep getting the message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available of the iPhone". I don't understand why this message keeps coming up, because I have 20.96GB free space. All my contacts have gone, and I urgently need them for work. What can I do to solve this problem???
I suggest you delete some stuff off your phone so free up some memory and try again

Not enough space on disk to restore !
can anyone help me ?
I had some troubles with my mac so I made an image for the HD and every thing went fine and now when I want to restore it ,it says
Not enough space on /dev/disk0s2 to restore what should I do !!?I may be too late now (but for sake of knowing the next time):
Before you make an image, re-size the source partition to a size smaller than the new (future) destination.
- click on the source partition,
- go to the Partition tab at the top,
- then grab the handle in the lower right of the Partition Layout graph and drag it upwards.
The size of the partition will change, but the partition won't be erased.
- BE PATIENT - this can be as slow as defragmenting the drive! [guess]
* Your computer will go into Sleep Mode every 10 mintues. Hit a modifier key - (SHIFT, CMD, CNTRL) -
every 8 or 9 minutes to keep the computer from going into sleep mode.
* Use your mouse to place the curser (every so often) in the progress bar to mark your progress.
Then make a new Image.
* Remember to "Scan Image for Restore" (in the Image menu) before proceeding.
If its too late because the original partition is gone, try temporarily restoring your image to an external (as large or larger) drive. [CAUTION! Everything on that external drive will be replaced!!]
Then re-size and create a new image - to be restored on your intended destination.
(Give this image a new name just in case)
IF YOU GET THE "Could not restore - resource busy" error:
- First drage the destination partition (not the drive) into the destination field
- THEN select the source image. -
Hi,
Apparently I'm Unable to install Photoshop CC because not enough space to extra on C-Drive... But I don't want it to extract there. I've already gone into "Preferences" and switched both folder locations (CC Files and App Files) into my D Drive which has plenty of space, but I get an error that there is not enough space on the C Drive. Duh, I know that, which is why I want to install it on another drive.
What are some steps I can take to fix this?Refer to the blurb on SSDs in this article:

I am getting disc full messages on my Mac, unable to empty trash because not enough space, how do I proceed or do I need to increase my 4gig of memory in which case how do I go about this process.
You are confusing RAM (Random Access Memory) with hard drive data storage space.
Your hard drive storage is getting too full if you can't empty your Mac's main trash.
Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
( as you mentioned, you can't empty this as your hard drive is too full.)
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck! -
Hello, I am a newbie here. I am asking some help for a vexing problem that I am having with my Blackberry 8320 Curve. I have a Windows XP Pro operating system, Blackberry desktop manager version 4.2.2.14, and roxio easy media creator version 9.
I open up the desktop manager, connect my PC and blackberry. It then says connected. I then go to media on both the blackberry and on the desktop manager.
I have an album that has been transferred to the roxio creator, and the songs are ishown n the top pane. I also have highlighted device memory and highlighted music folder.
When I highlight a song and press the copy down button, any music that is over 2 minutes in length refuses to copy completely into the music folder. It does start to copy, then stops and says with an error message: not enough space on disk. For heavens sake, I am not copying it to drive c, I am copying it to my blackberry! It seems I am doing most of this process right because 2 songs on the album less than 2 minutes in length have copied to my bb, but the rest over 2 minutes will not copy.
What in the world am I doing wrong?
Thanks!If you are moving the music to your device memory, files over 2.9MB won't copy.
Put them on your Media Card.

Not enough space on disk error when I have enough space on disk
I'm trying to export a video to my external hard drive, which has plent of space. About halfway through the export, Premiere gives me a "not enough space on disk" error. My startup drive is getting pretty full, but still has a bit of memory and I'm not sure why I would need space there if the render is going the external.
Thanks for any help!Macs can read NTFS volumes.
Maybe, but they can't write to them out of the box. And since external drives generally come empty, it's a pretty safe bet that the purchaser will want to write files to it. So, a lot of drive makers format as FAT32.
exFAT is a better file system than FAT32, especially for solid state media like P2 and SD cards. Using exFAT on those cards would allow large files (long continuous shots) and keep compatibility with Macs. Now, if only camera makers would issue firmware updates to allows exFAT formatted media... -
ITunes could not restore iPhone (from backup) because not enough free space on *iPhone*?!
Hey everyone,
I recently upgraded to iOS 6 and before I upgraded, I made sure to make a backup because I know upgrading to the new OS can often cause people to lose their things. After upgrading to iOS 6, I found I had everything except for all my messages and some of my contacts (it appears all contacts I added within the past 6-7 months or so are gone, but the older ones are there). I need my messages and those newer contacts, so I want to restore from the backup I made before upgrading to iOS 6, but unfortunately, I get an error message saying iTunes could not restore from backup because there is not enough free space on my iPhone. Note, not my computer or my hard disk, my iPhone. First of all I don't see why I would need free space on my iPhone to restore it, and secondly, I have about 5GBs of free space on it. What can I do?Yes. Those are the only ones saved by iTunes, as the working assumption is that all the other photos are on your computer and thus can be synced from that source, without the backup duplicating them and taking long time and lots of space. Photos on the camera roll are assumed to be not yet Transferred.
A few random-thoughts suggestions...
Not sure if you tried this multiple times, but it might worth doing. Just remember to cancell the Sync as soon after connecting so you don't overwrite the backup.
1. Check if you still have an older backup that might have the pictures. Follow the instruction by user Linda Custer in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13011509#13011509
2. Check the links in the More Like This box on the right, or do a search for your issue on these forums or on Google.
3. Find third party utilities that treat the iPhone as an external USB disk and therefore allow for extracting photo files directly from the device, bypassing iTunes. Search here, Google or check MacUpdate: http://www.macupdate.com/
And perhaps the most obvious, that I forgot to ask about:
4. If you switched iCloud on, and selected backup to iCloud you should have a backup outside of your computer; just select the iCloud backup, instead of the local one, for Restore.
5. If you switched iCloud on and checked PhotoStream on, you should have the camera roll photos in the cloud and can retrieve them from the cloud via the Web site, your Photo app, etc.
Good luck.
