IPhoto DVD Burn, How much extra space is needed?

I did a few tests, and each time, I found the same result.
If I filled a disc (DVD or CD) to nearly capacity, iPhoto couldn't burn the disc, saying that there was an error. When I burn a 4.7 gig DVD to 4.0 gigs, the disc burns successfully. How much 'extra' space do I need to leave for iPhoto to burn correctly?
TIA

Benson:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What you're running into it the disparity between what iPhoto reports as the size of the select photos and what it needs to burn an iPhoto disk. As you know there's a big difference. Check the iPhoto Library folder size in the Finder and compare that to what iPhoto indicates when you click on the main library icon. The difference will be all the thumbnails, original files, modified files, data and database files. My test library is 74 via iPhoto and 98MB via the finder. That's a lot of overhead.
I guess I would keep the iPhoto reported size to about 4.2G max. when burning to a DVD disk. Of course it would vary depending on the number of edited photos are in the batch you selected.

Try running XP in a VM or aquire Windows 7 which is the only one supported now.
And you will need more like 60GB for Windows 7, so I would skip on 20GB just to be safe.
20G is a fine minimum for XP, I was not responding to any inquiry about Win 7.

HT1414 how much disk space is needed for backup and restore.

i want to unlock iphone,for this how much disk space is needed for backup and restore activiti

OK... now subtract the music. That's not part of the iPhone backup. Neither are apps, but in app data is.
Why are you asking? Did you get an error? If so, then clear out some disk space.

How much disk space is needed for scratch files?

I hope I am allowed one dumb question. If so, I would like to know how much disk space should I allow when setting scratch files, if my MTS file is 16GB? I am using Premiere Pro CS5 on a PC with Windows 7 Pro-64 bit.

All of it. Put them on a large disk (500GB or more) and just let PP take care of the rest.

How much free space is needed to update an iPhone to iOS 6 using WiFi?

I have an iPhone 4 and want to know how much free space is necessary to update to iOS 6 using WiFi (not through a computer). I updated another iPhone with a MacBook Pro and it stated that I needed 2.5 GB of free space. My son has the other iPhone and he has to update via WiFi.
thanks

I think it might be different depending on what version you're running at the moment.
I upgraded my iPhone 4 with 5.1.1 to iOS 6 and it was about a 800 MB download by WiFi.

How much extra space does time machine need to backup a 512gig drive?

... in practice, how big does my backup drive need to be for 512gig primary drive?
I know time machine does "snap shots". I can imagine this takes extra space over and above 512gig.
What's your experience here?
Thanks

Yes, go with a smaller drive and be content to have oldest backups deleted more often.
If you don't need hourly backups, you can get a smaller disk and clone with SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner. You can schedule a backup nightly, if that enough.
The advantage of having a clone is that it is bootable in case you run into trouble on your internal, you can boot from the external and keep right on working until you have the time to fix it. You can also run repair programs from that disk.

Is there a way to access iCloud to find out how much storage space I need to install music on iPhone? Genius Bar was not very helpful...

I have several questions I could not get answered yesterday...
Does the number of songs listed on iPhone represent music available on iPhone or in iCloud.
How do find out how much space of music you have in iCloud you need for iPhone to download all music?
Is there a easier way to get the music available in iCloud downloaded to iPhone without separately downloading each album separately?
Last question...if the music is not downloaded...does it get played at all when on wi-fi?

Both. If you have the setting to "show all music" set to ON you will see all music that is available. If the setting is set to OFF you will only see music that is stored locally on the device.

iTunes Match does not use your iCloud storage.

Music can be downloaded by Album, Artist or Playlist. Or you can disable iTM, sync music via USB, then re-enable the iTM service.

Yes.

How much iPhone space is needed for new OS7?

It's telling me there's not enouvh space on my 16 Gig iPhone but no where can I find how much is needed so I know how much content to delete.

I believe it reports that it needs 3GB+ for an OTA install.

How much render space is needed?

I am mystified. I do only light duty editing for my sample reels but I thought I knew how to set things up, but I've run into a snag here.
I shot and am going to edit a concert video for a friend. First step is burning him a DVD of the whole show, so he can tell me what songs to use. For this no actual editing is necessary. I dedicated one partition (80GB) of my second internal drive, NOT my system drive, to the project.
I imported both tapes (DV) of the show, each about 12.5 GB, plugged them into the timeline, and went to render. The computer slugs along for a long time then gives me the 'insufficient disk space' message. When I check the volume it shows the render file for the sequence being 53GB--and it's not even done!
'Get info' for the sequence shows the codec as being uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2, which is not only overkill, but it's not what I selected in the sequence preset.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Alan

Immediately after my posting I went back to the program and simply created another sequence. It came up as DV, NTSC, anamorphic, etc. and even with the two hour-long segments it didn't need to be rendered.
The funny thing is that I didn't change anything in the presets or settings, so why the original sequence came up so hi-rez I don't know.
As in so many things computer related, just going back and starting over seems to have solved the issue!
Thanks!
Alan

Estimating how much temp space a query will take?

I have a query that is "SELECT * FROM some_table ORDER BY field_name DESC". some_table has an avg_row_len of 458 bytes and stats are current. There are just about 6 million rows in some_table.
TEMP is set to 500MB and the query fails for lack of TEMP space. I show about 176MB of TEMP is presently in use, so worst case I should have 324MB free.
So which calculation is correct for how much TEMP space is needed:
(a) 458 avg_row_len * 6,000,000 = about 3GB of space (and DBA_SEGMENTS agrees with this rough math). That's assuming it puts the whole row into the sort.
(b) 6,000,000 rows * 4 bytes for a ROWID (I think they're 4 bytes) = 22MB. That's assuming it sorts just a bunch of pointers to rows (which is how I thought it would work).

Don't forget to add the length of the column being sorted to the rowid length before you multiply. A [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/logical.htm#CNCPT89008]rowid has four pieces, not four bytes. Also check your plan, in case there is more than just the sort going on for you.
With appropriate sort_area_size or pga target, you may reduce the need for temp. See [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16638/memory.htm#i49320]pga memory management in the docs, to start.

How do I find out how much disc space I'm using for various items such as Mail, iPhoto, iTunes, documents, etc.

how do I find out how much disc space I'm using for various items such as iPhoto, Mail, Apps, documents, etc ? thanks

Or you can download OmniDiskSweeper (free). It will list your disc usage in order of size and you can follow the paths to find individual files or applications.

How much more space will iLife/iPhoto 08 take up?

I'm running on a laptop so I'm not one with exessive disk space.
I'm wondering how much disk space iLife 08 takes up over iLife 06, iLife o6 said it took 10 gigs. iLife 08 documentation says it takes 3gigs, that's it. So is that 3 gigs more to a total of 13? or just simply 3 gigs?

Some art from the iTMS is ~500KB! ANd if you have 10 songs from the same album, that's 5MB per album...
On the iPod, there will also be a very small version of the artwork for the iPod's now playing screen. This very small piece of artwork won't take up any significant amount of space.
The artwork is stored with the AAC/MP3 file, even if Show artwork is NOT checked.
As you described, checking the Show Artwork box will simply add a thumbnail of the cover art but this is in addition to the incuded artwork.
I have tested this a bit and it's a pain, especially on smaller iPods.
Adding artwork will add to the file size.
Putting the music on the iPod and checking the file size on the iPod reveals they are the same size, even on my Mini, which does not do artwork.
I have JPEG'd the artwork way down in size and compared and it really does save space on the iPod, even if Show Artwork is not enabled.
I have dumped all the artwork and I can get ~100 additional songs on m4 4GB Mini.

How much HD space do I need to create my movie in FCE?

If I create a 20-minute movie in FCE, how much HD space will I need to create the movie and burn to DVD?
I am new to FCE, but when I was using Pinnacle for the PC, Pinnacle would rEnder and write the movie to DVD within the program.
With FCE, I am under the impression I will have to render the movie, then export it to IDVD and burn from there?
Thanks
-Mike

iMovie and Final Cut Express do not burn DVDs. You have to export your work from those applications and import the resulting file(s) into iDVD, DVD Studio Pro or Roxio Toast to build & burn your DVDs.
Regarding hard disk space requirements,
If you have 20 mins of captured DV clips, they will take about 4.3GB of disk space.
If you have a 20 min edited video in FCE and you apply effects, generators or transitions that require rendering, that may take up to another 4.3GB of disk space.
When you export your finished video from FCE, export to QuickTime Movie and UNcheck the option called "Make Movie Self-Contained". That way you will get a QuickTime reference movie that will be rather small, in your case maybe even under 1MB.
When you create & burn your iDVD project, iDVD will use your QuickTime reference movie as input and encode the video to burn it on a DVD. When you save your iDVD project the encoded assets are stored in the project. For a 20 min video, depending on the quality options you select in iDVD, your iDVD project file could be as large as 4.5GB.
So, you should expect to need something like 13GB total space to handle your project from beginning to end.
Of course, if you have more source media, are doing HDV video, do exports from FCE that are Self-Contained, or use iDVD to save DVD images, they will require even more space.

Finding out how much root space does each app take...

Hello! I was wondering if there is a way to find out how much root space does each installed app take, like a X-terminal command or something? Just want to figure out if i have some "non-optified" programmes (I believe this is the right term, but could very well be wrong) Cheers
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thaaaaats better
Wow.. MC is a freaking space hog! 5meg of root space
libmagic is interesting.. not sure what needs that.. it's used by software to tell what file type a file is.. it can look at a jpeg, for example and tell you it is a jpg.. clever stuff really (it doesn't use the file extension like windows) so I assume this is possibly midnight commander too..
Out of all the extra packets you've installed, they're using 19,184,792 bytes of root space.. 18meg..
5meg is midnight commander, 3 meg is QT3 support (not sure why you have that) and another 1.3meg is libmagic and 2 meg is some Python stuff..
Killing off midnight commander would free some space... (why this isn't on /opt, I don't know) but realistically you've not used too much.. you should be fine!
---edit---
I finished re-reading your post, not just the log file.. HA!! The funny thing is, doing this command line stuff is second nature to me.. I frequently do it in my sleep The N900 is therefore the ideal phone for someone of this disposition.. I need to find out blah statistics.. erm.. COMMAND LINE
If you want to wander down such a particularly perverse path, I'm happy to help out and newbieness is always forgiven
But it just shows what you can get away with using nothing more than litterally a few command line commands! pretty neat really!
