Insufficient disk space-render mgr empty tho

Hi,
I have a 68 minute project which I edited. I took some time off from the project and came back and looked at it and also started editing a trailer for the same film. When I went to render either one I get this message "render error-insufficient disk space". I go to the render manager and it is empty.
I seem to recall changing the settings for the scratch disk after I completed the long project because I thought for future projects those settings were project specific but I realize that is probably not the case and probably part of my problem. How can I find the old render files without the use of the render mgr or somehow assign new places to render? I tried checking one of the video render boxes(scratch disk settings) for a different internal hard drive and then re-trying rendering but the render mgr was still empty. I could try more places?
I will say up front that my files for rendering are all over the place due to my teaching myself FCP as I worked and then each time I take months off I forget many things because I learn under the stress of the moment and then when I burn out and take a break most of my medium level editing knowledge of FCP goes away. I need to learn the underlying good practices for the future but it is hard when you have self taught and are really a director, editing out of necessity.
Enough self pity-anyone have any ideas? I searched several pages back in the archives and found a similar entry but it seems my situation is different.
thanks,

Of course, there is the occasional problem of the renders going into the FCP program file itself.
This seems to happen occasionally when someone removes their usual scratch disk and does not replace it with anything else. With the target folder unavailable, FCP decides to dump all the render files inside the FCP.app folder.
Check your system disk free space and the size of FCP.app. Depending on how many localized versions you have installed, it shouldn't be much more than 400 MB or so.

Insufficient disk space for render. What does this mean?

In Final Cut Express, I received this message. Insufficient disk space for render. Please free up space & retry. Does this mean not enough space on the finished project? Is my project too long? How can I free up space?

If you haven't done so already, you can empty your Trash bin on your dock. But, you do not have enough disk space on the target drive to save your project. You'll need to delete files to free up space or save it to another drive.

Insufficient disk space to render, even after clearing it up?!?

Question: I'm trying to render a Final Cut Pro timeline, but upon adding a jpeg photo, it says that there's insufficient disk space and that I can free up space with the render manager and retry. Well, I've taken off some files (which took up more space than the jpeg picture would), but it still says there's insufficient disk space. Any suggestions?

Do you have Photoshop?
Open your jpeg and go to Image > Mode in the menu bar. Make sure that *RGB color* and *8 Bit* are checked on. If not change it to those settings and resave.

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.

Insufficient disk space during index build?

Hi All,
I have a library of pdf documents on a network share that I am indexing weekly from my laptop (overnight). Recently, the index build has failed with the error message "insufficient disk space". I have contacted the server admin and I have been assured that we have many hundreds of gb free. In any case, the available space is much larger than the size of the document repository. As a test, I copied the entire library to my local hard drive and the index build worked perfectly. I'm concerned that there is another network issue at play here that isn't apparent from the error message.
I haven't found anything on Adobe's website on this error. Can anyone help?

Try emptying the TEMP folder. A lot of applications, including Acrobat use the TEMP folder as a temporary work space and it is limited by Windows.

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 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.

IPhoto 11' insufficient disk space error on EHD

I have read previous discussions on this error, which did not fix my own problems. I have recently moved my iPhoto library to an EHD. The move went smoothly and I began importing more photos into the library. During one of the large imports I accidentaly unplugged my EHD which halted the import. I noticed it created an album in iPhoto saying "recovered photos". There were about 3,000 of them, and in the folder the photos thumbnails were not appearing. So I moved that folder to the iPhoto trash and emptied the trash. I also tried emtying the Finder trash as well.
At this point I started recieving the error "Insufficient Disk Space iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library."
My EHD has 1.76TB free of 2TB, and my MacBook Pro has 407.29GB free of 499.25GB. So this is not a space issue at all.
I noticed that there was discussion of problems with deleting large amounts of data at one time, I believe this is what I did. What can I do to resolve my issue?
Thank you,

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Try to import a new batch photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it doesn't then give this a go on your existing library:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

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?

Insufficient disk space for rendering - about to kill myself

I have two clips on my timeline. Quicktime clips. I just want to render them. It says I have insufficient disk space for rendering, try cleaning out files and trying again. I deleted everything in my render files, everything in the final cut pro documents. My hard drive has 199 GB of free space. Together in total these clips are under 4 minutes. Why in the name of all that is holy is 200 GB of space not enough for rendering? If you can answer that or tell me what to do, I'll give you my first born child.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Without full system info (computer, OS, FCE and QT versions, external devices, etc. along with specifics of the QuickTime clips), this is just guesswork. Is there another hard drive involved? Could your FCE System Settings have your render files going to a drive that's almost full?

Trying to load photos, get message Insufficient Disk space

When I try to import pix. get a box saying Insufficient disk space. Iphoto cannot load images not enough free space on the volume containing your iphoto library.

Well that shoots that theory. Next, reboot your Mac and try the library again just to see if rebooting helped.
If still not working launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you get the same message with the new, essentially empty library then the problem may lie in the iPhoto application. If you get no message with the new library the problem is with your library.
If you don't get that message with the new library you'll have to start over with a new library. First open your iPhoto Library with the Finder and check inside the Originals folder to make sure your photos are still there.
Click to view full size
If they are there do the following:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Your old library will still be available for further attempts at resurrecting it.

Trying to open: ".... insufficient disk space..." (?)

I've just downloaded Mainstage 3, and in trying to open I get the message:
"There is insufficient disk space to install the basic content.
Delete unnecesary file from the hard disk and empty the Trash."
OK, so:
- how much room is needed to open Mainstage 3?
- I don't want the additional Apple Loops, etc. seeing as I can use what's come with Logic and GarageBand. Can Mainstage install without having to install the additional content?
- can Mainstage be 'tricked' into opening without searching for any additional content or something like that?
Thanks all!

It is mentioned in the App Store:
Minimum 5GB of disk space (35GB of optional content available via in-app download)
Without that content you would end up without the sounds/instruments, that doesn't really make sense. MainStage doesn't download the Apple Loops.

Final Cut Express 4 insufficient disk space for rendering

I have an iMac with a 2.8 GHz intel core 2 Duo, 2GB 667 MHz SDRAM, and a 750 GB hard drive with over 400 GB of free space. I just purchased Final Cut Express 4 and when I uploaded my first clip and I tried to render it, it said that I have "insufficient disk space to render." I don't understand how this is possible, I may just have a setting messed up but I need step by step instructions to switch that setting or fix my problem, thank you.

There is a Final Cut Pro forum, you probably repost there. I suspect someone with Final Cut Pro experience may have a better idea than this forum which is a general iMac forum. You can find that forum at:

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!

Can't import photos from camera -"Insufficient disk space on volume"?

Please excuse my ignorance if there is a fix for this that I haven't found here.... I reinstalled iLife '11 yesterday because iPhoto would not recognize the camera. Now it recognizes the camera but it won't import the photos. I've tried all the suggestions, trashed the cache, the preference file, restarted, created a new library and I still can't import the photos from the camera to iPhoto because it says "insufficient disk space on volume." I have plenty of space on my hard drive. I can import through Image Capture but why go the extra step when importing to iPhoto was so very easy before? Can anyone help with this?

This has been reported - not sure if there ever was a solution or not - search the forums to find the threads
you can try renewing the iPhoto preference file to see if that helps -
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
