Is it just too big!!

I cant seem to get itunes to take a mp4 file that is more than 1.8 GB. Is it just not possible?

I am having the same issue. Can't get a show that is 1.83 GB to go past 1.8. At first I thought it had to do witth the problems associated with having the library over the network, but I tried the duplicate trick which usually works and that didn't work. I get the err - -34 disk to full everytime. I am able to purchase smaller files with no problems.
Using iTunes 7.3.1 (3). Any ideas?

  • Too Big Project Size?

    How big is too big for projects? What are your average project sizes?
    Having very sticky and sluggish movement in current project and noticed it was over 40MB. Didn't seem so huge at first but then I noticed most other projects I have are under and around 10. Is the project just too big? Nothing extraordinary or strange about the project. The sluggishness is primarily when scrubbing through primary cut/sequence. Only a 2 min sequence. If Premiere can't handle two minute sequence how are they cutting features with it?
    Anyone else have this problem or notice anything like this with larger projects?

    I was referring the preview file format.  Currently, we're editing with ProRes LT Quicktimes and setting the preview file format to reflect that (attached).  However, the MPEG I-Frame seems to be the default in Premiere.  Is that more stable?
    However, is there a better format/codec for Premiere?  We always cut in ProRes on FCP 7, but I'm not opposed to something different (we run on Mac).
    Also, I removed all warp stabilizers from my project and it significantly decreased project size.  Unfortunately, the project is still sluggish.  Feeling there is some type of corruption.
    Thanks Mark!

    The display on my PB 12 G4 1.5, loooks as if it's displayng @ 600x800
    but it is set at 1024x768. In prefs I've changed the res down and it gets even

    I normally run a 20' apple LCD from it mirrored with the laptop closed.
    The image size jumped while using Photoshp CS and I thought I had zoomed the image but that wasn't the case. I shut down, disconnected the 20", restarted
    and repaired permissions, still
    same issue ie full screen is not visible( just too big) though I can move around it somewhat
    Everything else seeems to be working normally
    really stumped
    any help would be greatly appreciated
    thanks David

    thanks so much
    that was it,
    I've no idea how I managed to hit 3 keys together

  • Is 6+  too big?

    Is 6+ too big?

    You try what I did, my wife was saying that the note 4 5.7 and the  Apple 5.5 are just too big. So i measured and cut out 3 different phones and let her try that, and that help, sort of, she still said they are too big going with the 4.7, I said, whatever, I'm getting older need the bigger screen so I can see it, lol

  • I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

    I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • I am making a book in iPhoto using a double page spread and blank layout. I can't find a way to minimize the picture. it is too big in all the themes. I seems like there must be a way to shrink it not just zoom to make it fit?

    Command (right) - click on the photo and select Fit to Frame in the contextual menu:
    Not all frames in a theme offer that feature but most do.  The spread layout doesn't.

  • I upgraded because they said my files were too big but I've emailed files a lot prior.  now after the upgrade I have a completed file to emial to someone, enter all the data, and there is no "SEND" button.  how do i send these files and why isnt it just l

    I have often sent pdf or other files with adobe by email with no problem.
    this file it said was too big so I'd have to upgrade to send it.   so I upgraded it.  I followed all the instructions, email, etc, etc, and its' ready to go but there is no SEND button.  how do I sent my file?

    Are you still experiencing a problem with Adobe Send?  We inadvertently introduced a problem earlier today (now fixed), but you reported your issue was last night.
    Anyway, can you check again?

  • I uploaded a photo onto my desk top and it was too big when I tried to change it I couldn't get into iPhoto it just wouldn't open

    I uploaded a photo to my desk top as my screen saver and it was too big, when I tried to get back into iPhoto I couldnt, it wouldn't open, I closed it and tried again and it still will not open, can you help me?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • When I open my iPad the page is too big for the screen and won't shrink down. The keypad has also become very 'sticky'

    Recently when I open any apps the pages are too big for the screen. They shrink when pinched but immediately become bigger again. It's very difficult to scroll too. The keypad has become very sticky. Missing letters and spaces when I type and needing to tap the keys much harder than usual

    I have the exact same problem, I think.  I was on my iPad 3's home page swiping R-L to locate a certain icon when all of a sudden the screen appeared to get HUGE.  So big I could only see one or two icons.  I couldn't even turn it off to try a reboot because after I pushed the sleep/wake button, I couldn't find the red slide bar.  I finally just had to wait for the battery to die, then recharge it, and it looked normal again.  I also spoke with several friends who haven either iPads or iPhones, and they've all had this happen to them.  I checked my accessibility settings, and Zoom was already off.  So what is causing this problem for so many people, and what can we do to prevent it?  Please help.

  • When doing a second "Organize Library" cuz the first was too big, will iTunes recognize what's already copied over?

    I'm stuck with a large folder of music on my PC in My Music folder. And I used "Organize Library" in iTunes but it didn't copy everything over because the amount of music was too big. I've deleted the original copies of music outside of iTunes to open up more space and was wondering if I do a second "Organize Library" if it will recognize that some of the music has already been copied over.

    I don't know what "restore the iPod" is
    It's usually the second thing to do (after Reset) when the iPod is not working correctly.
    Select the iPod in iTunes and click Restore.
    See this -> Restoring iPod to factory settings
    what about my main question? Can I go back to "sync all" but manually block certain albums?
    No because sync all is just that.
    Sycning specific playlists should work fine. And you can create more than one and sync which ones you want.

  • The "other" memory section on my Mac is WAY too big.

    Hey everyone!
    I know there are a LOT of discussions about this topic, but none of them really seemed to work for me. So the other day I got an error saying "Your startup disk is almost full". I immediately checked the storage section of "About my Mac", and sure enough, something like 100 GB were taken up by local backups. To fix this issue, I disabled local backups via this terminal command: sudo tmutil disablelocal.
    I did a restart and checked my storage again. This time, it looked like this (and still does):
    All of what used to be backups is now other. And the reason I have those 900 or so MB of backups is because I eventually turned those on again (with the reverse of the above command) in an effort to fix this. Out of options, I then went to the apple store, where they told me to just delete stuff that was too big. So I got a 1 TB drive and started copying and deleting stuff. The main thing I got rid of was a giant windows VM I had. And just to prove that something's wrong here, look at the breakdown of my files from OmniDiskSweeper:
    If you do the math, I should have about 100 GB more free than I do now. I've tried:
    Turning the thing off then on (you'd be surprised how often that works)
    Resetting the PRAM
    Forcing spotlight to reindex the machine
    Throwing the machine out the window (well, not quite)
    What I think might be the cause:
    This is a stab in the dark here, but possibly all those GB of backups tried to delete themselves and somehow corrupted and aren not called backups anymore by the system?
    Just one more thing: I noticed that OmniDiskSweeper showed a volume I don't recognize. It's called MobileBackups. Maybe that has something to do with it?
    I'll appreciate your help.
    Thanks!

    Although the guide is a little dated, a lot of the information there is really great and helps you track down a lot of files that are just taking up way too much space on your hard drive.
    http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
    I just did this the other day on my Air running 10.9 and recovered around 50GB of disk space, so there is potentially a lot you can do. I suggest following the steps on this guide (to the T, don't want to mess anything up) and go from there. Don't delete ANYTHING that you are not aware of the function, and remember that searching for names of files is a great way to determine whether or not you need it. Some files that SEEM like junk and take up a considerable amount of space are system files that will either be replaced the next time you boot up or render you computer useless entirely.
    For example, there is a file that saves the state of your computer just before it goes to sleep so that it can return quickly when you start up again, and that file is normally the size of the amount of RAM you have (I have 4GB of RAM, so the file was 4GB). After doing some research, this file will either be recreated if deleted, or your sleep mode will not be able to function properly if the file is deleted. So again, just tread lightly.
    Also, there is an application I used to get rid of a bunch of duplicate files that I had on my drive called Gemini (http://macpaw.com/gemini), which I recommend using to clean up documents. Again, be careful, you don't want to go deleting files that you are using that the application mistook for a duplicate.
    Hope this helps!

  • I am having trouble with a video.  I have tried to copy it to a flash drive because it is too big to fit on a DVD, it says it is too large for the volumes format.  Please advise.

    I have done many DVD's for seniors for graduation so I am familier with Imovie.  I have just finished a projec that is a combination of video, music and stills.  I shared it through idvd.  Now I can't burn it to a dvd because it is too large.  It is too big even for a two sided disk.  I have researched it and i find that blue ray would be big enough.  Does apple offer  blue ray burner?  if so, what is the cost?  I tried another route and took my external hard drive to copy it to a PC.  there computer wouldn't recongize my drive.  I am assuming it is because it is formated for apple.  I tired copying it to a flash drive and and it says that it can't be copied because it is too large for the volume's format.  Suggestions?   PLEASE!!!!!

    Could the video be too big because of using too high a resolution?   480p is sufficient for a DVD.  the thread at:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5868958?tstart=30
    may be of help.
    Apple does not support Blue ray - you have to use a thrid party application like Toast.
    To transfer the video to a PC you need a FAT-formatted hard drive (or of course a sufficiently big memory stick).
    You could also go via a network, via the cloud (eg Dropbox) or with 'Wetransfer" or similar.

  • How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

    How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.  I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting.  I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened.  Can I set this as a default view?

    Hey Kris,
    You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
    Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
    Try this and then let me know.

  • Mail attachment was too big now that account is frozen

    I have two Accounts set up in Mail.app.  One business, one personal via AOL.  Comcast is my ISP.  Attachments are limited to around 10-20 MB.
    I tried to send an attached 5 MB Folder that I thought contained five 1 MB video clips.  When that didn't work, I split the contents into 5 separate e-mails.  When that didn't work, I noticed that these were all the actual sizes were GB not MB so I knew they were way too big to go as attachments.  However, Mail kept trying to send them.  Now, the personal account just spins but occasionally, new, outgoing mail will work.
    Based on suggestions in this Forum, here is what I have done for troubleshooting so far:
    Deleted the messages from the Outbox
    Deleted the messages from the Drafts mailbox
    In Mail Preferences, I deselected "Store Drafts on the Server."  (My guess was not only was Mail trying to send the messages, it was also trying to store a draft of each message.)
    I forced quit Mail and went to ~/Library/Mail and deleted any copies of either the Message or the Attachment that I could find including those in the Outbox, Saved, and Recovered mailboxes/folders.  (I sorted the various folders by size making it fairly easy to find these large attachments and found the individual messages by the created date.)
    I can retrieve my AOL Mail by going to their website but I still cannot get my AOL Account to work in Mail.app.
    What do I do next?  Should I just delete the Account and recreate it?  Can I do this without losing old saved messages?  Note, everything is backed up by Time Machine.

    Hi,
    When you select, New message ... is the window as big as your screen??
    If this is the case, try to drag the window smaller and try again to attach any file you like in the message.
    Is the drop down window smaller now?? if this is the case then drag the drop down wind to the size you like. On your right hand at the bottom you can drag it to the size you want.
    Post back with the results ...

  • Compressor 4.1.2 BluRay Encoded File is too big - Help!

    I just encode a 4 hours of HD footage using compressor's Bluray output (H.264 Video & AC3 Audio).  It took near 10 hours of seemingly wasted time.  I am working with 25g blurry discs and the H.264 File Size is 27.71 gigs.  So now I need to re-encode.
    How can I control the file size in this newest version of compressor?  In the past compressor always knew to keep the h-264 file size under 25gigs.  Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    If you visit the FCP X discussions forum you will several threads about Blu Ray issues. There are clearly some problems that affect some systems in unexpected ways

    OK, so after many many hours!  The file size still came in too big. 
    That's why I suggested twice that you do a short, 15 minute test…so you wouldn't have to waste al that time to find out it wasn't encoding the projected size.
    Sure. Drop both he average and max bit rate. But do the 15 minute test first to confirm it will fiit. I don't know why it's overshooting but it is and there's some guess work involved,
