Insufficient memory iphone backup

I am facing a insufficient memory on C drive during iphone backup on iTunes. I understand I can store files on D drive, but while backup phone detail, iTunes still use the C drive for storage. I only have 5G free memory on C drive. What to do? Thanks everyone.

Clear space on your C drive.
iTunes has no functionality to allow for moving of backups or apps to any drive other than the C drive.
Only media can be installed to other locations.

Running low on laptop memory. iphone backup put me over edge!!??

First off...please forgive my tech-related ignorance. Admittedly, I know very little about computer operations. Now that I have that disclaimer out of the way...here is my issue. I am running very low on memory on my laptop. I recently spent several hours deleting music and photos in an effort to create some space. I was able to free up a whole gig of space and thought that would buy me some time. Well...it did, until I connected my iphone. It took a very long time to "back up" my data. I then received a message stating that the backup to my computer couldn't be completed...presumably because I didn't have enough space to do so. All of a sudden, I have 1.8 mb of free space! Can someone help explain what is happening? Backing my files up is important, I suppose, but not if it means that I can't use my laptop. Thanks, in advance, for any thoughts, opinions, suggestions, or pearls of wisdom!

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.

My iPhone won't sync, incorrect insufficient memory error

I have an iphone 4 32GB, running iOS 6.1. I'm running iTunes 11.0.1 on my Macbook Pro. I have a meagre 2.3GB free on my phone.
In the last few days I have noticed that my iphone isn't always recognised: when I connect via USB I get the new phone set up screen - from time to time, but not always. I became extra diligent about ejecting my iPhone from iTunes each time I unplugged it (I choose not to sync over Wi-Fi). That seemed to sort that problem out.
Today I'm unable to sync at all. When I try, I get a message that my iPhone cannot be synced because there is insufficient memory; that I need an additional 18.3 GB to sync my library.
I've restarted (phone and computer) and have even restored from backup. I'm holding off doing a factory reset, my next step will be to remove and readd files to try and spot the problem.
I think the problem is linked with podcasts: I have about a dozen that update weekly, and I have been keeping back copies on my phone. All up my podcasts take up about 6GB. I have nothing concrete to support my suspicion, other than that it seems that podcasts have been basically difficult to manage since updating to iOS 6.0.
Any ideas?

Okay, I've deleted my backlog of podcasts, which freed up more than the 6GB I thought they were taking up.
I still had the same sync problem though. I found an old reply to a similar issue on the forums, and the suggestion was to back up, delete all music, then reload it. I'm in the process of doing that now - I've deleted the music, and am syncing to get it back on. I'm currently at song 2667 of 3560, reporting 9.64GB free. If I get to the end of this and get the same error message, I'm going to be mad!!!
What has become clear to me is that users have had this issue over several years now, and there's no formal Apple response, and (because it's still happening) no sign of a fix.
It seems that the problem is that sometimes, when syncing, iTunes thinks it will be adding your iTunes library to your phone, in addition to the files already on your phone (i.e. it doesn't account for overwriting or skipping tracks already present).
I'll keep people posted with my progress, and hopefully one day this will be useful to someone else in my situation.

Database msdb cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space - in recovery pending status

came in this fine monday morning and it looks like developers were running some kind of trace that filled the primary DATA folder with about 80,000 5mb trace files. now that process has stopped and the logfiles have been cleaned up, but when attempting to connect to the server using the management console i get the error:
Database 'msdb' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
when i check the status it is in recovery pending mode. i have a backup from yesterday but im not sure if this database became corrupt before that backup or not because this process was ongoing over the weekend. the last timestamp on the msdb and log files is 7am this morning..
I am not sure how to proceed recovering the msdb database with limiting interruption to the users. any advice is extremely appreciated. this is sql server 2008. i can login via sqlcmd and see it is in recovery pending status:
1> select state_desc databasestatus_sysdtabase from
2> sys.databases where name ='msdb'
3> go
select state_desc databasestatus_sysdtabase from
sys.databases where name ='msdb'
databasestatus_sysdtabase
RECOVERY_PENDING
(1 rows affected)
1>

For someone experiencing a similar problem this answer is unacceptable. You're basically telling me to reboot the server to fix this. You vaguely mention using process explorer to find out who is using the file. Can you please provide
some more information on that? I have a similar problem and rebooting the server to fix it is not an option. This problem keeps reoccurring.
OS Error 32 means file has an open handle by someone else. If that is a user process then you can catch it via Process Explorer. If it's a kernel mode object then it's difficult to catch that and restart is the only choice.

ORA-04033: Insufficient memory

I wondering if anyone else has run into this issue before as I am finding this strange. When I try to increase the shared_pool or sga I get a ORA-04033: Insufficient memory error. Basically I am using a SPFILE and I am changing the values dynamically and my scope=both. Now, when I use a CREATE PFILE from SPFILE and change the same values in the PFILE and then start the DB backup, it takes the changes perfectly and now the changes I wanted in the first are all there, but the only difference is I am using a PFILE instead of the SPFILE.
What happened here. Why would the PFILE allow me to make the changes I needed when Oracle is telling me ORA-04033: Insufficient memory with the SPFILE. Also, on the server, we have 4gb's of RAM and the server itself only has one Oracle DB running on it, so I was surprised as to why I could not allocate more memory for the DB. The settings were:
shared_pool = 152MB
SGA=350MB
I wanted to go to
shared_pool = 512MB
SGA=1024MB
SPFILE failed, and with the PFILE it worked.
Any thoughts?

What's your Oracle version?
What's the command you used to change shared pool and SGA ?
shared_pool_size can be changed while database is running in 9i and 10g however you need to make sure there's free memory available to do the increase. The 'Free Memory' here is not your available memory on OS but the difference between sga_max_size and allocated SGA size.

Restore towards 6310i : error insufficient memory

Hi,
I just downloaded the latest PC Suite last week in order to make a backup of my 6310i. I made the backup op phone+card and got no errors at all.
Now I try to restore the backup to the same phone, and I get the error "insufficient memory".
So I cleaned out everything that is present on the phone: SMS, names, etc. it is completely empty now. Restore to the same phone, result: "error insufficient memory".
Help! How can I make a restore? Or is the software only meant to make backups?
Thx for any suggestions.

Your iPod has approximately 120 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 bytes unformatted capacity.
This is equivalent to 111 x 1024 x1024 x 1024 bytes.
120Gb10 = 111Gb2
Both numbers are valid descriptions of the capacity of the device, marketing uses the larger number, the IT industry generally uses the smaller one
See this thread for one of many earlier discussions on the same topic.
If iTunes is telling you your iPod is full then it is. Take some stuff off if you want to put some other stuff on. If you have more than about 2% of "Other" then it probably needs a full restore to reclaim space lost to orphaned files.

HT201269 itunes cannot see my iphone backup. I have a backup of the backup on an external HD, but even tech support cannot figure this one out. I copy and paste backups into the correct folder but itunes still does not see it. All I need are my contact

Sorry for short novel I am writing. I just wanted to cover as much backround as possible.
So, here it goes. I backed up my iphone 4 after renting a movie. The movie only played the starting credits before I was called on for daddy duty. A few days later the movie would not play, so I restored my phone from my backup. The movie would still would not play so itunes support refunded my purchase and ended my viewing privileges for that rental after verifying that I had not viewed the movie. I then had a problem with my contacts showing up twice in the contacts list after the restore. So I attempted another restore. All was well at this point. I then started having trouble with my pc and decided to copy the internal drive to an external source. A week later I had a system failure and did a factory restore on my computer. I re-installed itunes and tried to copy and paste the old backup into the new itunes. Now itunes just flat out does not see the backup file (I failed to mention that I did a factory reset on the iphone after the last backup, hopping to start fresh). Tech support had me uninstall and re-install itunes and then copy and paste the old backup into the newly installed itunes with no luck. The files are all there, but itunes just doesn't see them (itunes says the device has not been backed up to the cloud or to the local machine). We then tried backing up the factory restored iphone and replacing that restore file with one of my old backups on the external drive. Ok, this is where it gets weird. We replaced the guts of the folder but left the folder itself so itunes would continue to recognize the new backup folder with the old files. Whoohoo, itunes now see's a backup folder full of old files, or so we thought. The new files were deleted using shift delete so they would be gone for good and not mix with any files or folders. When I restore my phone, it restores the files that were deleted from the restore file (pause here for a moment and imagine the stupid look on the face of tech support and I while we silently wonder how files that were permanently deleted were restored). This left tech support and I both scratching our heads. My service issue was escalated to the next level. I waited for the phone call the next day that was scheduled at 10am to my wife's phone, but the call never came through. As usual, apple disappoints again. I just bought an iphone 5s and still have the iphone 4, and am looking for a solution to retrieve my contacts and restore to the 4 or 5s. I am guessing that files in other folders must be associated with the iphone backup in order for itunes to retrieve the files. Any ideas or support in retrieving my contacts would be greatly appreciated.

Data Federator: Insufficient memory : Operator 'HashJoin' cannot execute

Hi,
I'm using: SAP BusinessObjects Data Federator Designer XI 3.0 Service Pack 3 - 12.3.0.0 (Build 1011241842)
I have a virtual view on top of sql server 2007 and teradata. I am using a view on sql server 2007 that joins against several tables and querying a single table from Teradata.
When I try to query the view I get the error: [Data Federator Driver] [Server] Insufficient memory : Operator 'HashJoin' cannot execute because it cannot allocate the minimal number of memory pages. Please contact the system administrator to change system parameter settings. (0)
This happens when I try to query the view from data federator or from an odbc connection.
I tried playing with the configuration settings for core.queryEngine.hash.maxPartitions and
core.queryEngine.hashJoin.nbPartitions and nothing seemed to work in terms of changing/increasing the numbers. The help guide also gave no help: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexi3SP3/en/xi3_sp3_df_userguide_en.pdf
I was using a very similiar query against a materialized view on Oracle and Teradata before and that worked. But I'd prefer not to have to materialize the view in Sql Server.
Any thoughts as to how this can be fixed?
Thanks,
Kerby

<rant>The strange thing with this forum is no people, really no people, ever do anything to resolve their own problems, even though this forum has a search function, and sites with FAQs and assistance are floating around over the Internet. Why is a mystery, as nobody uses them, and most DBAs only know how to hit copy-and paste, to add to the clutter on OTN again.</rant>
The usual steps to troubleshoot an ora-1031 apply.
This means
- verify whether the local administrator is in the ora_dba group and sqlnet.authentication_services in sqlnet.ora has been set to (NTS)
- in absence of these, there should a password file be present in %ORACLE_HOME%\database, named pw%SID%.ora
These belong to the common documented requirements, and these requirements shouldn't be repeated everywhere.

How to us iPhone backup file from Time Machine drive to restore iPhone

Stupidly, I deleted my primary account on my iPhone that contained my contacts and calendar. I don't currently subscribe to MobileMe. I took advantage of the free service when I bought my phone, but decided not to subscribe as I synch my iPhone to my computer and back up my computer using a hard drive connected with Time Machine. Unfortunately, when I stopped using MobileMe, a synch to my iTunes wiped out all my contact data in my Address Book on my computer and my calendar. Therefore, all my most current information was on my iPhone.
I went to the Apple store and was told that the iTunes backup file may be used to restore the contacts and calendar information on my iPhone. I synched my iPhone to iTunes and then did the iPhone restore to factory settings. Only then did I realize that the older, correct backup file was not an available option in the dropdown.
So, I'm trying to figure out how to pull an older iPhone backup file and then use it to restore the iPhone. The only thing is that when I go to Time Machine and look at an older Library --> Application Support --> Mobile Sync --> Backup folder, there's a whole bunch of .mdbackup files in there.
How do I select what I need? How do I get the iTunes protocol to run the restore on my iPhone using those files?

Select the folder that contains the .mdbackup files and use Get Info for the folder to check the date the backup was updated. I would forget about trying to extract individual .mdbackup files and transfer the entire folder to the same location on your computer's hard drive - with iTunes quit before doing so.
After doing so, this backup should be available to select when restoring your iPhone from your iPhone's backup.
If this is successful restoring contact info and calendar events on your iPhone, if the Address Book and iCal on your Mac is empty - it does not contain any data, before syncing your iPhone direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac, enter one unique contact in the Address Book, and one calendar event in iCal on your Mac. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.
Does Time Machine include a backup of your Address Book and iCal on your Mac? If so, it will be much easier and faster to restore the Address Book and iCal on your Mac from your Time Machine backup.

Does iTunes/iPhone Backup backup Application settings?

Hi guys,
it happened to me to buy a new MAC and transferring my purchased Application to the new computer via my iPhone; it happened to me to buy a new iPhone and sync my iTunes with it... in both cases I kept my Apps setting.
The question is: does the iPhone backup perform this or did I keep the seeting only because the Apps where stored in one of the two devices?
In other words, let's consider the scenario where I have both a new iPhone and a new MAC, everything lost, only my iPhone backup and applestore id and password available.
Is there a way to get in my iTunes all the purchased applications or have I to manually download one by one (even if I know it'll be for free)... ??
And after this operation, what about my application settings??
Thank you.
Luca

Contact Apple support directly. Perhaps they will help. The Contact Us link is at the bottom of this page.

Can't restore individual iPhone backup file via Time Machine

Hello,
I was hoping someone here might be able to assist me. I seem to have lost my iPhone backup file, but when I access the backup files in time capsule under user, in library under mobilesync, I can't even make it that far in time capsule, all I get to is a sparse image file of the username, is there a way I can access these files without a complete restore?
Thanks!

If you mean you're using the Finder, that's not how to restore from Time Machine.
See #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

How can I restore an old iPhone backup from Time Machine?

Hi there,
I lost my iPhone 4S but have a extra iPhone 4 (used for travel) that I would like to restore the 4S backup to.
The problem is that the backup of my 4S has somehow disappeared from itunes and the only one that shows up is the iPhone 4 backup even though they are set up as different devices with different names. I know that the backup for my 4S is included with my Time Machine backups (on external harddrive) but I can't find the files. Also very strange is that I don't have the folder "MobileSync" in /Library/Application Support/MobileSync on my computer. I can't find that folder anywhere.
My computer is less that 6 months old and I know that I have not deleted that folder or any other that are preinstalled.
I'm using OS X 10.9.4 and I don't want to restore my hole computer from Time Machine, just the files that hold my 4S backup.
Also note that I have not backed up everything from my 4S phone to iClould so that's not an option.
I've tried everything including:
- Restoring the settings on the iPhone 4 to factory settings and then connecting to itunes.
- Deleting itunes and restoring it from Time Machine at a date that i knew had the original iphone backup.
Who ever can solve this for me deserves a gold medal. I'm truly desperate. I've searched all forums and haven't found a solution for this.
Thanks.

Correct.
You need to go to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/.
The ~ indicates your User folder not the top level /Library/ folder.
Click on the desktop, then hold Option and go to Finder menu Go and Library will be there (only when holding Option as it is hidden).

Why do I get "Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program" in SQL Service Report Services

Hi fellas,
I'm facing some serious issues with SSRS. I've tried to create a map report in SQL server reporting service 2008R2. I've insert a map using ESRI shapefile and connected it to my Dataset. Everything seemed to be fine up until I've tried to preview the results
and I got this:
I've tried to resolve the problem by increasing the "MaximumTotalPc", but then I got this:
Ever since this happened my SSRS is acting like it has gotten a virus. I've tried to delete the report, but it doesn't let me and the window I've posted above keeps on popping up every few seconds while the program is open.
Any idea why do I get it and how can I deal with it?
P.S. I'm not any kind of developer and I'm not really familiar with the technical language. I need an explanation written in user friendly language, please :-)

Hi Ellie55,
According to your description that you are experiencing the issue when you are creating the ESRI shapefile map on the SSRS 2008 R2, you got some error “the number of map point elements for “Map1” exceeds the maximum limits for map” when you click to
preview the map, you trying to set the properties of “MaximumTotalPointCount” to fix this issue but cause another error about the “insufficient memory”, right?
By default, a map can have 20,000 map elements or 1,000,000 points. If your map exceeds these limits, you can increase the MaximumTotalPointCount and the MaximumSpatialElementCount, but it may cause the insufficient memory because of the too much points
and elements. So I recommend you that you can use one of the following approaches for you have got problem increase the limitations:
Remove a layer.
Decrease the map resolution.
Decrease the map viewport coordinates to view a smaller area.
If the spatial data comes from a report dataset, set a filter to limit the data from the dataset. The filter must be set on a field that is not a spatial data type.
If the spatial data comes from a SQL Server database, change the query to use spatial functions to limit the data to a smaller area.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee240843.aspx
As you this error also caused you can’t delete the report, please try to close the program in the task manager and find the path of project in your computer to delete the .rdl file in your workspace and redesign the map again.
Any problem, please feel free to ask
Regards
Vicky Liu
