IPhoto Disk Space Error - A little help?

I'm getting this error while working in iPhoto projects:
An error occurred while trying to save your photo library.
"Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library."
My HD is showing 74+ GB available, and I have less than 10K pictures in the iPhoto Library. I don't know what to do next. Can anyone help?
I'm running a 17" iMac 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo with iLife 08 (Upgrade) and Leopard (upgrade). Thanks and Happy Holidays

RW:
I had the same problem after I upgraded to Leopard. The 10.5.1 updater, use the COMBO version, is supposed to correct that. If you used the System Update version to 10.5.1 try downloading the combo from the Apple Downloads page and reapply it.
If that doesn't help first try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
What I finally had to do was run the following commands from terminal:
"sudo chmod -R -N " (note the space after the N) Then drag the iPhoto library package into the Terminal window and hit the Return button.
I was having problems with all files in my home folder. I could not edit and same them to the same file. I had to always save to a new file name. New files were OK. So I had to apply the command to my entire home folder. You didn't mention any problems with other files so it looks like only the iPhoto library is affected. Quite possibly the BatChmod procedure will fix it and you won't have to resort to using the Terminal.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

LMS 3.2 server - low disk space error.. Upm.db increasing rapidly......please help

we r facing problem of low disk space error......upm.db file incresing 1 to 2 gb per week.
if this continues our disk will get full & system may get crashed...... pls help

Probably most space is being consumed by CSCOpx\log. To quickly cleanup some logs, you can manuall run the command:
logrot_trunc c:\Progra~1\CSCOpx\log\syslog.log
Assuming this is the correct path on your server. You can also schedule log rotation to occur on a regular basis to avoid the logs growing past a certain point. This can be scheduled under Common Services > Server > Admin > Log Rotation.
Might also be a good idea to check if you have debugging turned on under the various modules in LMS to decrease the speed of the log growth by setting the logging to a lower level.

Premiere Elements reports low disk space error right at the end

Ok, so I wait for 5 hours for a 3 hour long video to get saved to my computer. It goes to 99% and then I get a low disk space error. After I clear up space, and click Ok, it starts all over again. Firstly, why doesn't PrE calculate/predict how much disk space I would need BEFORE starting to save, and secondly why does it at least not resume the saving process after I clear up disk space, instead it starts all over, with my 5 hours wasted?
Some serisous usability issues. Is it just me or do these things drive others crazy too?
Expected more from Adobe...

Unfortunately, as PrE uses a 2-Pass Encoding scheme (helpful to get the best quality within the same file size), it does not know exactly how much space will be used, until well into the second pass - the first is a survey of any motion in the Clips on the Timeline, and the second is the actual Encoding, and writing of a file.
Another consideration, regarding disk usage is whether one is Exporting/Sharing both Audio & Video. If one IS doing a Multiplexed file (with both an Audio and a Video Stream in one file), a Video-only file is written first, and then an Audio-only file, with a few "helper files" to be used in just a moment. Then, when that has completed, PrE reads those helper files, and creates the final, Multiplexed file. Last, the two separate Audio-only and Video-only files are Deleted. That takes some space, as at some point, one will have three large files, though two will be Deleted, along with the little helper files.
How much defragmented, free-space do you have?
What is your I/O setup, i.e. the number of physical HDD's, and how they are allocated?
Good luck,

Clean Install G4 Dual 1 GHz-Not enough Disk Space Error? -SLOW USB copies

HELP puhleeeeze!
This seems to be an issue on various sites with no one being able to figure out what is the cause and a solution. One person stated his problem went away with a fullwipe and clean-reinstall of everything. But this is what I did already.
What is the reason for the "Not Enough Disk Space" error message when both my hard drives have gigs of space available. If I had hair I'd be pulling it out by now! When trying to copy a file to my 2 internal hard drives that have a lot of space available, but only by the USB port?!!
I have a Power Mac G4 Mirrored Door (MDD) Dual 1 GHz with a clean install of 10.5.8 from the Original Mac OS X Leopard DVD. Both internal hard drives are 60GB and 100GB. The hard drives were wiped clean with Disc Utilities and reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The Power Mac only has the OS and a few music apps installed. Easily over 30 GB of space left on the the main G4 interal hard drive and about 75 GB on the other internal hard drive.
The error seems to only happen when I connect a USB flash drive to the USB port. I tried to copy a 50MB update to the desktop-"Not Enough Disk Space" error message happened.
I know that the G4 MDD Power Macs only have USB 1.0. Is this a USB 2.0 issue? Another issue is that it has very slow USB speed (dramtically slower than normal USB 1.0 copying of files. And this is only when it is successful. Is it a USB format issue? I know I couldn't get an external USB 2.0 drive to mount on the Power Mac at all. Disc Utilities could see it but it still would not mount. I have a friend who has an older G4 single processor Mac that doesn't experience these issues with its USB 1.0 ports.
Now here's the kicker:
If I put in a CD disc in the DVD/RW drive, it copies with no problems to either hard drive. If I connect to the Power Mac via the ethernet network, files can copy with no problems. But any USB connection - I get a the "Not Enough Disk Space" error message. I know this is an old mac... but it's never been problematic until this latest wipe and update to Leopard 10.5.8.
Is there a solution to this? Any and all help, feedback, comments, thoughts are greatly appreciated in advance!!!

Hello everyone,
Ok, I did the ultimate task. I erased the hard drives, AGAIN. Just to start fresh from scratch. Hard drives were erased. Did a new install of Mac OS 10.5. And all was well. I could copy with no problems. I gave the computer to my friend and all was good for a couple of days and then the issue came back again. He couldn't copy anything to his internal hard drives and we received the "Not enough disk space" error message! I was baffled. A complete hard drive erase 2 times, 2 fresh Mac OS 10.5 installs and it works for a few days and then coping to HD we got the same **** problem again! THEN - I remembered that the PRAM battery was dead on this G4 Mirrored-Door Dual 1GHz PowerMac. I had recommended that he get a new battery, because this computer would always have the incorrect date and time after every restart. So with recalling this, I had him reset the PRAM by holding down the CMD+OPT+P+R keys after a restart (start-up Chime). I had him hold the keys for at least 3 start-up-chimes. Soon as the G4 Power Mac started up everything was fine again. He was able to copy files to his hard drives again with the "Not enough disk space" error message.
So everyone! Try zapping your PRAM (resetting the PRAM) and see if this solves your problem. I told my friend to get a new PRAM battery to replace the old one that is completely dead. I have not heard back from him. I will ask him again if the problem has come back.
If that fails: My only other solution would be to consider that it is possible that Mac OS 10.5 has a conflict or issue with the G4 Processors and maybe it is safer to install Mac OS 10.3 or 10.4. Because this problem only has occured after installing Mac OS 10.5, the highest version of the Mac OS the Dual 1GHz Mirrored-Door G4 can be installed.
Cheers,
B

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.

Al
I got this error: "Unable to access jarfile wls1033_generic.jar" when I enter "java -Dos.name=unix -jar wls1033_generic.jar" in the Terminal command line. I very am frustrated. Please help me. Please advise.
One question: Is anybody able to install webLogic? I am just curious.

"out of disk space" error on export, or stalls at 100%- but I have plenty!

Can anyone help me with this?
I'm using FCE HD 3.0 on an iMac 2.66 Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB, running Snow Leopard.
I have over 700Gb available on the internal hard disc.
I'm trying to export a short (under 4 min) movie as a self contained Quicktime file. The footage was captured as DV-PAL anamorphic. On export the status bar says it will take "about a minute" counts down as expected but then stops at 100% and fails to finish. I left it at that point over night last night and when I came back to it this morning I had an "out of disk space" error.
I've tried trashing preferences.
If I export using Quicktime conversion things work fine.
Thanks
Mary

FCE3 isn't supported on recent versions of the OS or QuickTime. Strange things can happen because of this.

ITunes out of disk space error message. All downloads are paused

I found a solution to my dilemma of a disk space error message with iTunes running on and XP Pro machine. In my case I am running a SBS server and have folder redirection enabled to point the My Docs folder to a network share. Come to find out Disk Quota's somehow was enabled this preventing me from downloading any new podcasts or music.
Disk quota's are also a feature of XP (not sure but will assume so with Vista and 7). To check to see if Quota's are enabled, find the drive iTunes music is stored on. Open iTunes and click on Edit>Preferences>Advance. More than likely it will say C:\Documents and Settings... In my case it was an network share in the form of \\Server1\User Data\user.... If you are redirected to a network share than you will need help from your system administrator to fix the problem with Disk Quota's.
Open My Computer and right click on the drive listed in the above process and select properties. There should be a tab called Quota. Check to see if Enable quota management is checked. You can simple uncheck this or give the person more space by editing the Quota Entries which is located on the bottom right.
How this helps.

I've seen that Quota thing on my home setup. Good to know - I'll continue to leave it alone!

About 3 years old...pretty dated now I guess. Am thinking I may just need to have it upgraded by a Mac tech.
For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
So you see what's going on here.
I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

"out of disk space" error with Quicktime export

Hi - just trying to export a fairly small (3 minute) video sequence to record via iDVD. When I try to export the sequence as a Quicktime movie, I get an "out of disk space" error. I don't understand why - the video is not that big, and I have over 30 GB of free disk space. I suspect I'd be able to do it if I deselect the "self-contained" option - but I don't understand why 30 GB of disk space isn't enough.
Other details: FC Express 3.0

Well, I thought everything had been rendered, but I'd missed a couple of transitions. When I tried to render those, I got another "out of memory" error. Turns out I'd misinterpreted what the "minimum scratch disk size" setting meant - it was set to 32000 MB - I thought that meant that 32 GB would be available for storage, but I guess it means that the 32 GB will NOT be available for storage.
Anyway, I changed that minimum to 10000 MB, and now everything works....
Thanks!

IDVD reports strange insufficent disk space error message

I want to create a slide show DVD. When I open the project "Project Information" shows DVD capacitiy 0.6GB of 4.2 GB used. That seems ok, but when I try to save as Image I get an "insufficent disk space" error message (On the disk there are 28 GB free). After trying to save the Image "Project Information" says
5084435456,8 GB used - what's going on?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Are you doing the Save as Disk Image... correctly? This seem really odd.
File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

"Out of Disk Space" Error When there are 198GB available

We are attempting to capture a two hour video from VHS through an ADVC-300 box. We can capture short videos easily. For some reason we keep getting an "out of disk space" error even though there are 198GB free on the scratch disk which is an external LaCie hooked through USB 2. The settings for the scratch disk have the Limit Capture unchecked.
Any ideas why this is happening? I've seen some postings about timecodes effecting capture, but since this is VHS through a box, that should effect things, right?
-Kirk

dont know if its the cause of the specific error, but USB2 is not at all suitable for capture, especially long captures
USB2 has excellent burst transfer rates but does not have the sustained transfer rate necessary for video capture

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',
Dave

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.

Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.
Attempted solutions:
-I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
-I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.
Google Drive Warning:
Spotify Warning:
But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
