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.

  • Erroneous "insufficient disk space" error with WaveStudio 7

    This has been bugging me for over 2 years. I get the "Insufficient disk space" error with Vista x32 and x64 and now with Windows 7 x64 when I've edited a wav file and then try to save it. I have plenty of disk space.
    I've searched till I'm blue in the face but cannot find an answer and am tired of the lame work-around. I know how to copy and paste the entire edited wav into another file and then save it. It's annoying, but it works. What gets me is why is this not fixed?
    Running CTWave.exe as administrator does not work. Running in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode does not work.
    I have been a faithful Creative Labs user for more years than I care to remember, but this one is shaking my faith. Is there anybody who can explain why this happens, or offer a fix?
    Many thanks and keep on rockin',

    You may wish to try these steps in order to solve your issue:
    1. Make sure your computer has the latest Java runtime. To do this, just google search "Download Java", go to the first URL and download that free software. This step should solve most of the "insufficient disk space" problems.
    2. If step 1 failed to work, you can open "My computer", right click on the hard disk you were trying to write your files into. From the "File System" tab, check to see it's "NTFS" but not "FAT32".
    3. If the above two steps do not work, try creating a new partition from your primary hard disk. To do this, click "Start" -> then right click "My Computer" -> "Manage" -> "Disk Management" -> Make sure you shrink a new volume for at least 50 GB to 100 GB free disk space, again please have the NTFS file system. Once you successfully created this new partition, do a format then try writing your music files onto this Disk.
    4. I think the above 3 steps are able to solve your issue. However, there's a bug I found sometime back when Win 7 first released. You can try creating a "temp" folder in your primary system drive, writing any files in there should have no problem as long as disk space is sufficient.
    5. I certainly do not hope that error was caused by your anti-virus programme, but if all failed, you may want to consider temporarily disable your anti-virus software, and if everything works fine, you might want to switch to a new anti-virus programme.
    Cheers.

  • Insufficient Disk Space error during installation of OEPE

    Hi,
    Are you using the the all-in-one installer or the one which includes WLS as well. Do you face similar issues when installing Eclipse JEE package ?

  • Insufficient Disk-space Error Installing WebLogic 1033_generic on Mac

    How do I resolve this "Insufficient Disk-space Error" message I get while installing WLS1033? I thought I have more than enough disk-space on my system to handle just about any application software size out there. i mean, beside the 937.72 gigs of available disk-space on my system, I also have roughly 240 gigs external drive space. The system runs on 8 gigs of RAM. I know I am doing something wrong; just can't figure out what. I am new at WebLogic and so any help from the community is highly appreciated. Someone please help.

    One question: Is anybody able to install webLogic? I am just curious.

  • Insufficient disk space error on iPhoto 9.5.1 using iOS 10.9.4.

    I am trying to import around 12,000 photos from an old computer and have so far imported 4,000.  There are over 300 gigabytes free on the computer, and when I go to transfer more photos over I get the "Insufficient Disk Space" message and the photos do not transfer.  All of the solutions I have found online are outdated, so I was wondering how to solve this problem now?
    Thanks!

  • "Insufficient Disk Space Error" Doesn't make sense

    I'm sure there is a very easy solution here and I am missing something simple. I am trying to import my iPhoto Library into Aperture. In order to do this I copied my iPhoto Library onto my external, freeing up space for the Aperture Library.
    Prior to importing, my
    MacBook has 173.55GB of free space
    iPhoto Library is 111.66 GB
    At some point while importing I end up getting this message:
    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 an additional 118431 MB of space.
    This is usually after around 100GB has been imported and there should be about 10GB left to import and 60GB still showing free on my MacBook HD. The amount that gets imported prior to the error is always a little different.
    Can anyone help me? I really want to start using Aperture but I can't if I can not import my photos.
    Thanks.

    So if my Library is 111GB there is no way I can clear enough space on a MacBook with a 250GB Hard Drive?
    Awesome, I think that should be in the system requirements somewhere.
    You're right it should be. Perhaps it's not an across the board requirement. I think there's KB article on the topic, but I can't find it.
    Having a library that takes half you start up disk probably isn't a good idea though. You should consider putting your library- or referenced images- on a fast external drive. I assume you're going to continue adding pictures so it's only a matter of time before you reach critical mass anyway.

  • CS6 Bridge Insufficient disk space error when on the domain

    We have a windows domain enviroment, and we run iMacs for the design team.  Using the newest Mac OS X we get the "Insufficient disk space to complete this opperation " error after loading images in Bridge and then try to change or saved them.  When we are not connected to the domain, we can modify and save them locally fine.  But once we log onto the Windows Domain (we have mapped drives using SMB links for storage) you can not use Bridge.  Is this a cashing issue with the mapped drives or is this something else.  I've only seen one other post on this and there was never a real fix. 
    They could use Brige fne on CS5 using the previous version of MacOS(in facct they still have to right now).  So i'm not sure if it is a Mac os issue or a windows/mac issue.  From what I understand the two macs (older laptop and newer laptop) are set up the same way with the mapped drives using the same Domain log in so the preferences are the same.
    The new mac is loaded with an i7, and 16gb ram, and plenty of drive space so I know its not that.
    Thanks for any help

    Anybody have any ideas?
    Not many here now about network set ups. Bridge is not designed for use over a network and also officially not supported by Adobe.
    Bridge also uses a user specific library for its cache data.
    This guy used to hang around here and has a successful set up for a network, try his blog:

    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).

  • Insufficient disk space error during export

    I've been exporting approximately 1,200 photograghs (975 MB) to a Desktop folder which I copy and then burn to a DVD for playback on a Windows PC without difficulty for the past several months. However, I'm now receiving an error message stating "insufficient disk space for that operation". What's happening? I receive the error even when attempting to export 50 photograghs (25 - 30 MB).

    I have edited most of the JPEG files with PE4. Could this be causing the trouble?
    Possibly. Check your Edit->Color Setting menu window and see if you've got color management turn one. Mine looks like this. If it's not set to manage then some of those files may not have a profile. To correct this you can either reedit each and save to embed the profile or, much easier, download the Automator application "Embed sRGB Profile" from Toad's Cellar, unzip and drag the original files that need it onto it. It will automatically embed the profile.
    Were the files you tried to export the same as before or a new bunch? Had then been editied?

  • Insufficient disk space error

    I'm a new iPhoto user and get an error message about insufficent disk space when I try to drag photos in from an inserted CD of .jpgs. New iMac... shouldn't get this message. Tried the different library approach outlined in some of your threads with the same result

    How much free space do you have on your hard drive?
    Where are you dragging the photos?

  • Insufficient disk space / Error writing to Disk: when using photo library manager

    First I couldn't open my iphoto library (again!) so I am rebuilding my library (again- 4th time). NOW I'm told I donot  have sufficient disk space to import photos.
    Using OSX 10-9-5  Memory 4GB
    And just as I'm writing this I get Error Writing to disk memo
    iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPhoto library.

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' 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.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
    If you select the disk icon for your hard drive on the Desktop, then Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the upper panel it will show your drive's space statistics - Capacity, Used, and Available. It is the latter you are interested in to see how much space is left on the drive. If you have less than 1 GB or so, then you must stop trying to write to the drive or you may corrupt it completely.

  • Insufficient disk space in iPhoto

    trying to download photos in IPhoto andd had this error. Insufficient disk space.
    What is the work around? I should have plenty of space

    I just stumbled across this problem as well. I tried to add 4 photos to my iPhoto library. I had plenty of space on my hard drive.
    - I repaired the disk permissions on my hard drive.
    - I repaired the library on my iPhoto.
    - I tried all the proposed fixes I could find.
    Nothing worked.
    It turned out that the I was being too verbose with the file names on my photos. I had originally named the photo files on finder, and finder accepted the long names. But when I tried to drag and drop the photos into iPhoto, that is when I got the "Insufficient Disk Space" error message.
    To fix the problem, I shortened the file names on the photos, and voila, iPhoto accepted them.

  • Insufficient disk space time machine restore

    I try to restore my complete system from a time machine backup, but I get an insufficient disk space error. What can I do?

    The reason was that my iMac wouldn't startup after the 10.6.8 update. There was an error about a not good downloaded file (the 10.6.8 update package). After that message I only could  press the restart button, but the system didn't restart anymore.
    I checked also with the shift, cmd, v option, and there were missing io-thing files, and after that the system stopped.
    Then I took my Snow Leopard DVD, and booted from that disk. I choosed for restoring from a Time Machine backup, and picked the latest version, the night before. At that moment the restore procedure told me that there was not enough space on the destination disk.
    I have a 500 GB disk with 2 partitions, 1 350GB for Mac OS, 1 150 GB for Boot Camp.
    I have a 600GB external for my Time Machine backups, and the size of that folder was about 450GB. 150Gb of that external disk was free.
    At this moment I have my system up and running. I took a Time Machine backup from a couple of days older. That version I could restore. Finaly, I missed maybe a very little bit of data, but I can live with that.
    But I think it is very strange that I couldn't restore my latest Time Machine Backup.
