Insufficient Disk Space but unable to delete or move files to EHD

My daughter is home from her freshman year of college, and her MacBook hard drive is FULL. Her plan was to begin by moving her iPhoto files to her EHD, but told me it 'wouldn't let her.' She's right - I can't move or delete the photos in her iPhoto Library. I'm having the same issue with other file formats, including .docs.
What am I missing, or what should I be doing to resolve this? Many thanks (in advance!)

The drive is about 99% full (I know, I know ... trying to make my 19-year old daughter understand how BAD this is ... @#$@#$@#$ ) NO error messages even pop up.
In iPhoto as I tried to move files to the EHD, I had no luck at all. When I tried simply moving to the Trash, I had no luck EXCEPT for a couple of folders with only a few photos, and only then if I moved to trash from the File menu - no dragging, no copy/paste or cut/paste.

Photoshop Installer Error "Insufficient Disk Space" but I have more than enough.

I am trying to download the Photoshop CS6 trial. My computer has 2 hard drives, one is full but the other has plenty of space. Yet when I try to install Photoshop, and set it to save on that hard drive, it's not working and says that there's insufficient disk space when there's more than enough on that one. Photoshop tells me I require 1 Gb, I have 600+ Gb, I don't know why it's giving me this proiblem. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've reinstall the Download Assistant several times, I was sure to assign it to the correct hard drive. Same for installing Photoshop. What else can I do to try and solve this problem?

Error: Insufficient Disk Space (but my HD has plenty of space)

I am getting the following message when trying to import my vacation photos from SD card to Aperture.
"Insufficient Disk Space
There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 447MB of additional free space."
Does anyone know what this means?
I have plenty of room on my HD. How do I add to my Aperture Library volume?
Just looked and my Aperture Libary is 53.77 GB.

Please advise your hardware and workflow info in some detail. Specific Mac, RAM, hard drives or SSDs, where the Library is located, how full (in %) each hard drive is, OS/app versions, etc. so we can help you to troubleshoot your problem.
Folks have lots of good reasons for not upgrading OS or app versions. Personally I try to always delay updating versions, and did not go to Lion until 10.7.4. However if you are still on 10.7.1 like it says in your sig I do suggest that you seriously consider upgrading to a newer version of the OS.
Given that you are currently having problems I do recommend that you report the full hdw/sw/workflow info here before doing anything dramatic like upgrading the OS. Any suggestions that we make while ignorant of your full info may lead in the wrong direction.
Thanks.

I want to free up pc disk space. Can i delete app data/files from my pc now I use iCloud??

Hi
I have not been able to find a relevant thread, if there is one please direct me.
Sorry if my use of jargon/process is not that clear.
I am using iCloud.
Can I, and how do I, delete app data from my laptop and keep all apps running normally and still on my ipad and ipod as they currently are?
My computer is overflowing and I see iCloud as a chance to clear some hard disk space.
If i delete the apps from my itunes browser on PC then it deletes them from my entire Itunes account. Can I just go into my itunes folder and delete the base application files?
If I remove files/apps and I sync my devices using my pc for music/video/photos etc then will it pick up that the apps and app data is missing from my pc?
Thanks in advance

Im trying to get an answer to this same question. My poor pc is almost out of hard drive space bc of all the iphone backups pre icloud. I want to know if I go into the itunes file on my pc and delete all those files will they still be safe considering they are on icloud now? Its frustrating bc I cant seem to get an answer to this question. Have you come across any information on this issue since posting this question? Thanks so much!

HT1923 Reinstalling iTunes, but unable to delete C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\. I have admin status, but I get an error saying "Destination Folder Access Denied"

Following instruction to reinstall iTunes, uninstalled iTunes and related components, verified all deleted. Need to delete C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ manually, but am getting and error that says "Destination Folder Access Denied". I do have admin status on my user account. What's next? Many of the files in these directories are Mobile Me and iCloud, should I uninstall those too?

I have the same problem and it looks like others do too. I have spent far too much time trying to find a solution but nothing has worked so far.
Does "end windows explorer for the processing menu" mean to end explorer.exe in the processes window in Windows Task Manager? Does "start new task" means File-New Task in Windows Task Manager? If so, the solution does not work for me.
Any other suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
Thank you.

Do you sufficient disk space? If yes, log a SR and ask Oracle Support to provide you with the solution from that bug (as the solution is not available for public access).
Did you install all pre-req. software before starting the installation?

Insufficient Disk Space: What do I do? I do not want to delete all of my projects. If I delete them and then empty the trash it will free up some space but I have deleted way more than I am tryig to import.

I keep getting a message when I try to import pics. Insufficient disk space. What do I do? I do not want to delete all of my pics!

Easiest thing to do would be to buy an external hard drive and move your Aperture library to that drive.

I recently re-loaded iphoto, and now am unable to upload photos from my camera - saying there is insufficient disk space

I recently re-loaded iphoto, and now am unable to upload photos from my camera - saying there is insufficient disk space. does anyone have a solution?

Assuming you have space on your disk, then it could be a symptom of a damaged Library.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Insufficient Disk Space for Encoding but 49.7 GB free on drive???

Attempting to build a DVD project, but I keep getting an error that there's insufficient disk space. There's almost 50GB free on the drive. What gives?

Permissions should be fine, considering I burned a DVD not more than 6 days ago, same drive.
I import video from my camcorder, create a menu screen, import the screen and video into DVD Studio Pro 3, build the project, then burn to DVD with Toast (I never have been able to burn straight from DVD Studio Pro for some strange reason)
But as of yesterday, DVD Studio Pro tells me there's not enough disk space to Encode the files. The full DVD is only 3.9 GB, and with 49 GB of empty disk space on the hard drive, that should be more than enough room to build!!!

Insufficient disk space - HP Color LaserJet 4650

Hi, every time I print more than ONE item in Adobe InDesign I get the following page printed from my printer...
Error: Unable to store job at printer
Reason: Insufficient disk space for this job
Solution: Delete some files from the disk before resending this job
But I have plenty of free space on the disk and I can print multiple items from other software packages?
What do I do please? Any help is much appreciated, I need to print from Indesign all the time now.
Thanks,
Alex

Alex Wilding-
That is a problem at the printer.
HP has a fairly decent support structure.
I would start here.

Adobe Bridge CS5, error when creating contact sheet "There is insufficient disk space..."

I am running Bridge CS5 for the first time and I receive this error when attempting to create a contact sheet. "There is insufficient disk space to complete this operation." The image files I am using are web optimized and very small. The error even occurs when attempting one small image. I have gone back to using Bridge CS4 and it works just fine. Any help?
Thanks!

I think I narrowed this down to having a network volume mounted with a share name of "Users". The strange thing is even you if unmount the volume you will still have problems. However, if you avoid mounting the volume entirely (from boot) it will be OK.
The solution, it appears, is to rename the sharepoint to something other than "Users". This worked for us. I'm not sure if it matters whether the server is Windows or Mac OS. In our case the sharepoint was an AFP volume on Mac OS.
We had other errors related to Bridge such as "unable to create folder" and the path in the message appeared to be /Users/currentUser/..... which made no sense at all. However, if Bridge was internally trying to use /Volumes/Users (the mounted sharepoint), it would not only not find "currentUser", but it would not have permissions to create that folder either.
So, another possible solution could be to grant file creation rights on the network volume "Users". Another not-so-great idea.
Hope that helps someone else!

"Insufficient disk space" to upgrade Aperture library to v.3

I'm getting an "Insufficient disk space" and then an "upgrade failed" error when launching Aperture 3 with my old Aperture 2 library, hoping to upgrade it. My Aperture 2 library is 85.94 GB, and I have 15.31 GB free on my 250 GB disk.
Does anyone know how much space it needs for the upgrade? How can I get this working? Thanks for your help.

I can't believe that Aperture 3 – with the "update imaging" box unchecked – will increase the size of my database by +over 18%+ and this is just really badly designed.
I do not know but I am wondering if there is some faulty arithmetic going on and it's not looking for say 20% more space, but over 100% more space? In other words, I wonder if people with more free space on their system than their Aperture Library size are seeing this problem. Those with less free space than the size of their library may share your problem. That certainly would be a bug rather than a design flaw I would think, but I don't know what the AP3 format conversion is doing internally in the library before it finishes the process. If you wanted a failsafe method, you could design it in a way that virtually duplicated everything and only did the final step of deleting the AP2 originals when the revisions were successful. Sounds speculative but someone else needs to respond here that only has a modest amount of free space like you yet converted a large library successfully with all the bells and whistles turned on (new RAW, new imaging).
You might be able to call an talk to an Apple technician as I'm sure if there is a bug or design flaw, others will have called already to get the workaround. Unfortunately I won't have the problem that I am suspecting since my free space is greater than my library on this new iMac.

Insufficient disk space remaining in the capture scratch

I’m using a PowerBook G4, 1.25GHz processor with 2 GB DDR SDRAM whit Final Cut Express version 3.5.1. I tried to capture footage from my camera and received a message, “insufficient disk space remaining in the capture scratch.” I moved all the files: Audio render files, Autosave vault, Capture scratch, etc to a new folder on my desk top, but still get the same message when I try to capture. To capture, I click the play button on the screen; hit the mark in button at the point I want to start and the mark out button at the end. Then I click the clip button followed by the ok button on the log clip dialogue box. The program then goes through what I assume to be the capturing process leading to the error message. How do I overcome this? Thank you.

Hi Geoffemn
The solution is to buy an external hard disk. Save the files to that. It does nothing to move the files from AV or scratch disk to a folder on the desk top. It still uses the same amount of space on the Power Book's HD. Of course you can look over current files on the HD and delete ones not needed. But that's a temporary fix. Large HD's have come way down in cost per GB. Go buy one. It should run at a speed of at least 7200 RPM and have firewire.
