Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets.
Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets. My main hard drive only has a few hundred Mb left on it so i bought a 1 Tb external hard drive and want to know how to make iDVD use the space on the external hard drive instead trying to use the main hard drive. Any help would be awesome! thanks
Hi
Yes - This is important.
Free Space - Must be on the Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk and can not be used on any other.
My safe level is a minimum of 25Gb free space - to let iDVD and Mac OS run OK.
This is due to that Mac OS X is in reality UNIX and there by needs lot's of temporary space for temp. files and so does the application iDVD. And this can not be addressed elsewhere.
So to free up space - one thing is to move iMovie Events to an external hard disk BUT THIS MUST BE DONE Right Else all can be lost ! !
• Never move or adjust any folders Named - iMovie Events or iMovie Projects - on Desktop/Finder - links will breake and can be hard to impossibly to heal. ALL movings must be done within iMovie Application (it goes for iMovie'08 to 11)
• External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will NOT WORK FOR VIDEO - nearly everything else BUT NOT VIDEO.

I'm trying to burn a Magic DVD in iDVD and I keep getting a message stating that there is not enough free disc space for encoding the remaining assets. How do I resolve this?
It means your hard drive is too full to accomodate the project and its many swap files etc.
You need to move some files (not applications) to your external hard drive, and keep at least 25-30GB free. -
IDVD error msg Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets
I get this error message on iDVD, does this mean I need to free up hard disc space... "Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets"
How full is your Mac's hard drive?
Locate your iMac's hard drive icon on the OS X desktop. Click the icon once, then use the keyboard key combination Command-I. This will give you additonal info about your iMac's internal hard drive. -
Problem burning dvd, message not enough free disk space for encoding remaining assets
I have never had a issue with burning dvd's before now I am getting an error message
How much hard drive space do you have remaining? How much data are you trying to burn (i.e. are you sure the capacity of the disc is high enough?)

"iDVD needs more disk space to encode the remaining assets"
So I have to make copies of these counseling sessions that I'm doing for class and since I found out my Mac did not come with a DVD burner, I bought an LG External Super Multi DVD Rewriter. I used iDVD and created DVDs with my counseling sessions and was able to burn a couple that way. Then last week, I was going through my CDs in my Mac box and stuck the iLife CD in and it updated my applications. Since then, I've tried to burn a DVD from iDVD and it hasn't worked. A box comes up saying something like "not enough space for remaining assets" and when I click to get more information, it says "iDVD needs 7.765 GB of disk space to encode the remaining assets, but only 2.458 GB is available at "Macintosh HD".
Did I mess it all up by what I thought was updating the software? What can I do??Hi - Double posting doesn't help - Medicine the same
iDVD and Mac OS need space to work to swap theirs temp. files.
My minimum is 25Gb free space on start-up hard disk - neither can use any other HDs
but only 2.458 GB is available at "Macintosh HD"
This is way to little - few things should be able to work and if so very slow and unstable.
Free up more space.

HT2936 burning preparation error: not enough free disk for encoding the remaining assets
Im ready to burn my movie to a dvd and this message appears, "Burning preparation error: Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets." What does that mean or what do i have to do?
Hi
The free space on Your Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk (often named Macintosh HD) is near to full and iDVD and Mac OS needs lot's of space for their temp files. This can not be addressed to other devices - at all. It must be here.
I never let it go less than 25GB free space.
To free up space You need to
• trash files You NEVER need any more
• copy needed material to an external hard disk
(If from iMovie - THEN DO NOT - move or alter any folder named
- iMovie Event's - or -
- iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder ! )
ONLY - within iMovie Application
ONLY to an external Hard Disk formatted as - Mac OS Extended (hfs) (mine are journaled) and I use FireWire ones as USB/USB2 performs badly - especially when filling up and if HD-Material is used.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things BUT NOT FOR VIDEO
How Much free space do You have ?

When attempting to burn a 1.2 GB video using iDVD I get a "Burning Preparation Error.. Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaing assetts" This has only justed started to happen. I have used this programme many times before in the past. Can any one help as I have tried all I know?
Yes, 44GB is sufficient. I don't think space is the problem. I don't know about iMovie but iDVD can only use the boot drive for its scratch disk.
You might be getting that error due to some damage file in the project.
Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
Also run Disk Utility and verify the disk. If errors are indicated you will need to boot iknto your system install disk and repair the disk with Disk Utility (see the Utilities menu in the first window after the language selection window). -
IDVD not enough free disk space
iDVD is giving me the error: not enough free disk space for encoding assets when I try to burn a disk or create a disk image. After reading other posts the issue seems to be not enough memory on the computers hard drive, but there is 174.73 GB of space remaining...
All of the files for the dvd (photos, imovie file, clips, music, ect) are saved on a thumb stick for security. I can't think of why it would not be able to burn.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!All of the files for the dvd (photos, imovie file, clips, music, ect) are saved on a thumb stick for security
How much space is available on the thumb drive?
iDVD may be using that disk for scratch, so it may need more space on this drive than is available. Off-hand I don't know of a way to change the scratch disk, beyond moving your source material to the main drive before you burn. -

Trying to copy photos in folder on desktop to a flash drive but keep getting error that there is not enough free space when there is. I read to delete trash with the flash drive in but that still doesn't work. Help!!
How is the flash drive formatted? Open Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities) and see how it's formatted - that might be the problem.

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.
This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage. In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud. To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back. (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.) -
My iPhone 4 says that there is not enough memory to download apps like Facebook and Instagram. When plugged into iTunes it says that >4GB is filled with "other". How do I clear the "other"? What is this?
Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

Not Enough Free Disk Space to Burn - - Please HELP!!!
Hello -
I'm having a lot of trouble creating my iMovie and DVD. After several days of trying to delete applications and files off of my hard drive, I apparently still do not have enough free disk space to burn the DVD. This is very frustrating for me as I've created several movies/DVDs in the past and haven't had this much trouble. (I have deleted the old movies for more space.)
I have used Monolingual to delete unnecessary language files, and have deleted the iDVD plist as was suggested in other threads, however I still do not have enough free space.
Any additional suggestions would be VERY much appreciated! I tried to copy the iDVD file to my iDisk thinking maybe it would burn from there since I have almost 10GB available there, but again there wasn't enough space.
Thank you so much for your help!Lindsay,
One of the problem with the Powerbook G4s is that most of them tend to have small - in today's term - hard drives. I have a couple of external Firewire drives from Iomega that I use with my Powerbook to fee as much free space on the internal hard drive as I can. You will have to do the same.
iDVD probably won't be able to use a project file on your iDisk. -
Everytime that I try to back up my iphone to icloud there is a message that appears that reads "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available." So my phone has never been backed up, any suggestions?
Yes Mathmom815...I am having same problem! I noticed all Posts on the Apple Community regarding this issue just "STOP" when we respond that we have adjusted all settings and that there is enough storage available.
One different Post I read mentioned "Mail & Texts" also take up space....and I noticed my mail app is downloading OLD mail, and it sometimes says I have hundreds of email...then sometimes it says I have only a few. I have adjusted my mail settings and are now downloading NO email. Is there a glitch with the 4s that stores excessive email? Is this "glitch" holding up storage space? IF so, where on the phone does it tell you how much space the Mail & Texts are using?
HELP....
