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!

  • You are running out of disk space error message

    When i connect my iphone to itunes its continously tell me I am running out of disk space please delet some videos and photos and i have a ton of space available?

    Did you try to reset your phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
    Do you have an "other" section on your phone, bigger than 1GB? If yes, try to restore the phone to bring it back to normal size, it might contain corrupt data from an unsuccessful sync.

  • "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

  • 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.

    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.

    user11204020, what's your question?? :)
    You're getting an out of disk space error ... which means you've run out of disk space, no?
    Since it's saw related I'm guessing you'll need to make more space available to your OracleBIdata/tmp directory

  • "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 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.

  • Out of disk space when trying to download latest update to itunes

    I bought a couple of new songs and I cannot even download them to my IPhone 5, because it says that my iTunes needs an update. I tried to dowload the update and it keeps telling me that I am out of disk space. Anyone have a solution to this?

    Two things:
    1. That is not nearly enough of available space. At least 20 GBs is needed.
    2. FCP 4.5 HD is a PPC app; you are running it on a Intel Mac. Not compatible and you will have issues. I'm surprised you were able to install it.

  • Running out of disk space error even tho I have 200GB free!!

    Dear users,
    I have a huge problem. I have dowloaded an application from the AppStore named "Virtual City" and once I try to play the game it crashes saying "Running out of disk space" even tho I have more than 200GB free on my hard disk.
    I am using a MacBook Pro Mid April 2010 with Lion latest version.
    What could be the problem??
    Thanks in advance.

  • I get a error message: All downloads loads and file copies have been paused

    I have been trying to download the new 4 upgrade and I been getting this message: All downloads and file copies have been paused. The disk you are attempting to use is full. Remove files and emptying the Recycle Bin will free up additional space. Ok I don't have anyting in my recycle bin. Can someone please help me figure this out!
    Thanks!

    Start -> Computer -> C: drive, right click - Properties.
    How much free space do you have?
    You shold generally have 10%-15% free space on your boot )C:) drive.
    If not, you need to clear some space by deleting them/ moving them to other drives.

  • "Not Enough Free Disk Space" error message, but Finder shows plenty of disk space available

    Apologies if this is a double post, but I have been searching all over and can't seem to find this issue in the forums.
    I have a 256GB Macbook with a fresh copy of Lion installed, am going through the process of migrating files back over, after which I have approximately 125GB free. However, whenever I go online and try to download any type of file (PDF, sofware install files, etc.), an error message displays saying:
    Safari could not download the file “blahblahblah.dmg” because there is not enough free disk space.
    Not sure how this is possible since the .dmg file is 18MB and Finder is saying there is over 125GB free. I've tried repairing disk permissions, booting off the Lion recovery disk and repairing the startup disk, all to no avail. Anyone had this issue before?

    Don Archibald wrote:
    Check in Safari's Preferences (in the Safari menu) to see what has been designated as the destination for downloads. If that has somehow been set to a disk image or a CD/DVD location, you'll get that 'not enough space' message.
    The same may occur if the download target location is set to a non-available drive. This can happen when aliases are used and things have been copied (migrated) from another drive.
    Thanks for the suggestion. That wasn't the problem, but your suggestion did shed light on something else. I was able to perform a right-click action and Save File As... to my Documents folder. On further analysis, it appears that the "Macintosh HD", Downloads folder, and Desktop are showing the "pencil with a line through it" icon in the bottom left of the Finder window, which would suggest those areas are read-only for some reason.
    My user account is the only one on the machine and it's an admin account. Any guesses as to why that might have set itself that way, or any suggestions on how to change it? I've already tried repairing permissions on the startup disk in Disk Utility.

  • Disk Space Error Message

    When I try and edit a photo I get an error message that there is not enough disk space. I've deleted all of the unedited versions of my pictures, but still get the same message. I imagine it's due to the size (they are currently 2304 x 1536)I'm importing since there are fewer than 100 pictures imported. Is there a way to change the size on my computer once so that it applies to all of my pictures or is it a camera setting?
    I have 74 GB of free disk space.

    It seems to only be only this one picture that I've imported from a CD. Thhe image is 1600 x 1200.

    That normally occurs because someone has turned on system protection for the partition. I can't see your image just yet. 
    Check to make sure that has not happened.
    The following image is how the system protection  window should look
    The following image is what you should see in your recovery partition if you have file options to show protected files. Anyhting else should not be there.
