Just got a new hard drive, trying to down load new software and it tells me there is not enough hard drive space to install

I have a new hard drive on my Macbook.  I am trying to install a program from a disk.  I keep getting an error message that states I do not have enought free space on my HD.  My storage shows that I have plenty of space to install.  What do I need to do?  I do not have any photos, music or movies on my computer.  I haven't had time to reinstall any programs, so this is one program that I need to install and it won't let me install.

That refers to the RAM you have installed. Must be 2 GBs or more.

  • Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets.

    Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets. My main hard drive only has a few hundred Mb left on it so i bought a 1 Tb external hard drive and want to know how to make iDVD use the space on the external hard drive instead trying to use the main hard drive. Any help would be awesome! thanks

    Hi
    Yes - This is important.
    Free Space - Must be on the Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk and can not be used on any other.
    My safe level is a minimum of 25Gb free space - to let iDVD and Mac OS run OK.
    This is due to that Mac OS X is in reality UNIX and there by needs lot's of temporary space for temp. files and so does the application iDVD. And this can not be addressed elsewhere.
    So to free up space - one thing is to move iMovie Events to an external hard disk BUT THIS MUST BE DONE Right Else all can be lost ! !
    • Never move or adjust any folders Named - iMovie Events or iMovie Projects - on Desktop/Finder - links will breake and can be hard to impossibly to heal. ALL movings must be done within iMovie Application (it goes for iMovie'08 to 11)
    • External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will NOT WORK FOR VIDEO - nearly everything else BUT NOT VIDEO.

  • Trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings

    trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings. What am I to do?

    The storage you purchased is in the cloud, and doesn't do anything with your pad.  Your problem is simply that you have too much content on your pad.   Go to settings, general, usage, and it will show you how much space you have avaliable on your pad.  If you let the screen sit for a while, all the apps will be displayed, and you can see how much stuff you have associated with each.
    You have to no option but to delete some of the content on your pad.  Videos, comics, pitcures and some music files use a lot of space.   The cloud allows you to leave stuff there, so you can get it when you need it.

  • I just got a new mac and my purchase on itunes have not come up

    can't finded my movies i have purchase  !!

    If you are not purchasing from the US iTS then you do not have that option yet.
    You indicate Christchurch - NZ maybe?
    You will need to add the movies from your old Mac - by ext HD, memory stick etc. The iTS is a one time download per the terms of service. iTunes is a stand alone library and not automatically transfered because you open iTunes on a new Mac.
    The Cloud option is new and as far as I know only available to US iTS users. If it is available, it is located in the 'Quick Links' area under 'Purchases' located on the main iTS page.

  • How can I stop a movie from downloading? There is no place to cancel it. It's been trying to download for 3 days and my iPad says there is not enough storage .

    How can I cancel a movie that has been trying to download for. 3 days?  When I click on ITunes ,it says I don't have enough space. I tried to buy more and it went to the iCloud.  Does anyone know how to cancel that movie?

    I'm sure that you know by now but buying iCloud storage didn't do you any good. iCloud storage is for backups, and can't be used for local storage and that is where you needed the storage.
    Have you tried deleting content on the iPad so that the download will resume? Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You can delete movies, TV Shows, and apps in there via the Edit button. You can download most purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. Delete it now, and download it again later when you need it. Bear in mind that whe. You delete apps, you delete the data in the apps as well.
    You might be able to pause the movie download by going to the Downloads tab in iTunes - tap on the movie icon and see if it will pause. Or try swiping across the progress bar to see if you can delete the download.

  • Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3, The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?

    Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3,
    The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?
    Ive paid $$ for the games and then more $$ within the games via iTunes for in game purchases and desperatly want the games on the 4 with the levels that I have reached on the 3!
    Can anyone help!! Please!!!! My Smurfs and Animals are starving Hahahaha

    Mate, it's good to hear that you have gotten the iPhone 4 but sorry to burst your bubbles. Not all games can have the "saved" data ported over.
    Normally when you save a game in iPhone, the memory used is in the flash memory of the device. Those that can be ported over, reason is due to the data being saved over the air and when you logged in on a new device, it recognises you via the userID.
    Maybe you can try to backup your iPhone 3, and restore the file onto your iPhone 4. Not too sure if that would brick your phone though.

    Hello Pork Chop 2,
    Congratulations on your new Mac!  It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them.  I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.

  • My iPhone was stolen. I just got a new one and am trying to backup my contacts and data from iCloud. How do you do that?

    my iPhone was stolen. I just got a new one and am trying to backup my contacts and data from iCloud. How do you do that?

    If your backup is in iCloud, and your new iPhone is already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go throught the setup screens on the iPhone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  (If it isn't set up yet, just choose this option when setting it up.)
    Be sure your iPhone it connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

  • Just got a new computer, and I want my songs off my iPod and onto my iTunes

    So, I just got my new computer, and I have about 400 songs on my new iTunes. However, on my iPod, I have around 3,000. Some of the songs, however, I no longer have the cds for. I really don't feel like buying or tracking down ALL of those songs again. Is there a way I can get the songs off my iPod and onto my new iTunes? And no, I'm not trying to give all these songs to my friends or anything, I'm just trying to keep them all! If I could get an answer soon, that would be great!!!!
    Thanks!

    Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
    The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only

    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
