Lightroom says disk space low when it isn't?

I'm the creative cloud version of lightroom 5. I have a main 2TB hard disk drive which my files are on including the Lightroom catalog. It has about 512MB space remaining. However lightroom keeps coming up with a dialogue box syaing that this drive (D: MAIN HDD) has less than 20MB space.
I run the Lightroom program from an SSD, which may have around 20MB space remaining on it so is this where this error is coming from?? What can I do to stop this happening?

System Requirements
Windows
Intel Pentium or AMD Athlon 64 processor*
Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1
2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
2 GB of available hard-disk space; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on removable flash storage devices)
1024 x 768 display
DirectX 10-capable or later video adapter
Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.†

    I have the same issue with 1.7TB free. This seems to have been an ongoing problem in earlier versions.
    Is there a solution?

  • Why does TimeMachine say the disk is full when it isn't?

    Hello!
    A lot of my backups recently have been failing because TimeMachine says the disk is full, when that simply isn't true. As of right now, I have 1.18 TB available of
    2 TB. Why do my backups fail even when sufficient space is there?
    Thank you so much in advance!!!

    This main explanation is here.
    OS X Yosemite (10.10)
    This is pretty much equivalent to kids talking to each other on tin cans over a wet string.
    The TM in Yosemite is also exceedingly bug infested.
    The best solution for now..
    1. Use ethernet instead of wireless to do backups.
    2. If you upgrade installed Yosemite a clean install might improve it.
    3. Using local disk (USB drive plugged in for example) can be a huge improvement over networks and wireless.
    4. If you continued the backup from the old OS, wipe the TC disk and start over a new TM backup. (you can archive the old one if you want to maintain the history).
    5. Use an alternative to TM until apple get their act together.. eg Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper etc.

  • I transfered all my photos to an external hard drive, but I still get the low disk space message when I try to upload more photos. Help please!

    I moved all my photos from iphoto to an external hard drive, but I am still getting the "low space message" when I try to upload more photos to iphoto.
    How do I free up the disk space in iphoto?
    I currently have 642.1 MB of free space, but I thought that once I moved all my photos out of iphoto, that it would free up a bunch of space.
    Help please!

    Have you told iPhoto about the new location? If you haven't then iPhoto is ignoring it and continuing to use the original one. If you have completely transferred the library to the external hdd then you can delete the one on your internal one, but make sure that the one on your external drive is complete and has the iPhoto library icon on it. Whatever you do, don't lose your photos!

  • "Internal disk space low" warning question

    Last night I got the blinking amber light with the warning that Time Capsule's "Internal disk space is low". My hard drive is 1TB and has 375 GB of remaining space. My time capsule is 1TB and is used only for backing up my computer. How do I remedy this situation? Shouldn't I still have 375 GB left on my Time Capsule if it's just mirroring my hard drive? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Bob, thank you for your answer! When will TC start deleting old backups and the green light come back again and amber light stop flashing?
    I have the same problem and tried resolving it through deleting some backups that i did not need. I have 1Tb Time Capsule with all latest firmware and recently got the amber light blinking and the message that the "Internal disk space is low. Your Time capsule is low on storage space". I checked and I have something like 58 Gb left. So I deleted some big files that I did not really need on TC via Time Machine interface - "delete all backups of ...". It should have freed up additionally more than 100Gb, but when I checked again the remaining disk space has not changed from 58Gb. I read in forums about how to get this free space by compacting sparsebundle via "hdiutil compact..." command in terminal, as discussed here - http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=84284
    Is this the only way to free space on TC? Is there an easier way to get it? Should I go for it or should I just wait until TC starts deleting old files, not to mess with the whole process?
    Thank you in advance.

  • CS6 Bridge Insufficient disk space error when on the domain

    We have a windows domain enviroment, and we run iMacs for the design team.  Using the newest Mac OS X we get the "Insufficient disk space to complete this opperation " error after loading images in Bridge and then try to change or saved them.  When we are not connected to the domain, we can modify and save them locally fine.  But once we log onto the Windows Domain (we have mapped drives using SMB links for storage) you can not use Bridge.  Is this a cashing issue with the mapped drives or is this something else.  I've only seen one other post on this and there was never a real fix. 
    They could use Brige fne on CS5 using the previous version of MacOS(in facct they still have to right now).  So i'm not sure if it is a Mac os issue or a windows/mac issue.  From what I understand the two macs (older laptop and newer laptop) are set up the same way with the mapped drives using the same Domain log in so the preferences are the same.
    The new mac is loaded with an i7, and 16gb ram, and plenty of drive space so I know its not that.
    Thanks for any help

    Anybody have any ideas?
    Not many here now about network set ups. Bridge is not designed for use over a network and also officially not supported by Adobe.
    Bridge also uses a user specific library for its cache data.
    This guy used to hang around here and has a successful set up for a network, try his blog:

  • Disk space error when trying to access iPhoto library on external drive

    My iPhoto photos are stored on an external drive, which I've be accessing regularly on my old Macbook.  I upgraded to a newer (but used) Macbook that has Yosemite installed and, therefore, Photos.  When I try to access my iPhoto library on the external drive, I get an error that there is not enough disk space.  There is a lot of disk space on the new Mac.  The eternal drive is getting full, but I deleted a lot of large files and there should be enough space on there now.
    Any ideas?
    I'm stumped!

    What format is that external drive?

  • Disk space low!!

    my disk space on my TC is low. any ideas on how to get that cleaned up?
    I just added an external 2T G-Drive - I put all my movies, music, and photos there (not on my iMac anymore). These are the things that I want to back up, but now that it's on my external I can't figure out how to add that location to be backed up in time machine.
    any ideas?
    The other thing is that I have a 500G TC. now that I have a 2T external is it even possible to back this up?
    help?

    my disk space on my TC is low. any ideas on how to get that cleaned up?
    Are you using the internal hard drive on your TC for Time Machine (TM) backups only? If so, TM will purge the oldest backups to make room for more.

    Sorry, but TM cannot backup network drives so you would need another backup solution if you want to back up this external drive.

  • Disk space error when copying/pasting clips between iMHD projects

    Anyone know how to get around this problem? I have emptied all my trash, but continue to get a "not enough disk space" error message when I attempt to paste one copied iMHD clip to another iMHD project. How do I check my available disk space?
    I assume that it's my startup disk because I run iMHD off of a Lacie 250GB external HD... Any thoughts?

    When we Copy and Paste a clip between projects, iMovie HD duplicates the clip's entire source file to the project. That can be a very large file, so the "not enough disk space" error sometimes occurs when we don't expect it.
    One way to learn which disk a project is on is to Command-click (that's the Apple key) on the project name in the titlebar at the top of the project window. The path to the project will appear.
    In the Finder, select that disk and choose File > Get Info.
    If there appears to be sufficient disk space, please tell us the exact error message.
    Also make sure the disk is formatted correctly. iMovie requires the Mac OS Extended disk format. The disk format is reported in the same Get Info window.

  • Why doesn't my free disk space increase when I delete files on Mountain Lion?

    I just upgraded my Macbook Air to Mountain Lion. Now whenever I delete files my free disk space doesn't increase. I show only 500Mb free space now (out of 120Gb), even though I just deleted 50Gb of files. I tried to reinstall Mountain Lion, but it said I don't have enough space. I have a very simple setup, with no external apps except for Office 2011. I am NOT using Time Machine (I have it set to "off"), or any other backup programs, so I don't think this is the problem.
    Also, I noticed that whenever I move a file to the trash, I am asked for my password, which is extremely annoying.
    I am living in France, far from the nearest Apple store. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    I think you should try repairing permissions on your Home folder...
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    Startup holding command-r keys.
    You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
    The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
    At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
    The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

  • IPhone and iPad saying gmail password wrong when it isn't

    Both my iPhone and iPad are throwing up a message saying that my Gmail password is wrong when it isn't!  Can someone help me please?  I've tried the unlock capchta route but not having any luck.  Fingers crossed that someone can help me please.  Thanks very much!

    Gmail has been having issues with their servers and they are aware of it, I don't believe they've found any solutions. But they have said you can work around it by logging in using Safari.
    If you haven't tried logging itno Gmail on Safari, you should do it, just to ensure your password and user name are correct.

  • "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

  • Time Machine deleting backups, says disk is full when there's lots of space

    I recently successfully duplicated the sparse disk image bundles for two computers to a 1TB drive. Time Machine has been working just fine for weeks with this new setup and was backing up normally.
    Then I began getting "Disk is full" errors and Time Machine is saying it is deleting back ups to create more space. This is confusing as the disk says there is over 740 GB available -- our back ups are not even totaling 200 GB combined.
    How can I remedy this?
    Thank you.

    Hank,
    I realized last night, after I shut everything down for a tornado warning form Hanna - no tornado..., that the spaces in the disk name were your immediate problem.....sorry
    In addition to dragging the file, you can also type '\' as an escape character before things like spaces to say treat them as part of the name not, as in the case of a space, as a separator.
    In your latest error message the term 'socket' implies possibly a link to use of a wireless connection. I seemed to have no trouble using a wireless link to re-size yesterday. I was pointing to a USB drive attached to the TC, not the TC's internal disk. You'd think it wouldn't make a difference, but......
    I didn't want to mess with the live sparsebundles on the TC drive, and had copies for experimentation on a USB drive on the TC.... But today I tried it on the TC's drive via wireless and it works.
    You might try a direct connection via Ethernet cable if you can.
    In addition hdiutil has a -verbose option which you can add to the command line that gives additional detail and may yield a clue to the problem. It also had a -debug option that provides even more voluminous output which the man page says is "- debug and -verbose generate almost entirely independent outputs."
    The format is like this:
    hdiutil resize -size nnnG -verbose /path...to..sparsebundle
    The -verbose and/or -debug go after the resize verb.
    The -debug output is truly humongous! Try -verbose first if you need the diagnostic output.
    These might help us get you going.

  • Bridge Freezing, Not Displaying Thumbnails, Says Disk Space is Low and to Purge Cache

    Hello,
    I'm working in Bridge CS5 on a Mac 0S X version 10.9.2. I have 12 GB of RAM and the server has 240 TB capacity, 76.69 available.
    Recently I've received the following error message while processing large photo shoots with both DNG and JPEG files: Bridge is running low on memory. It is recommended that Bridge is restarted.
    I have also been manually caching large photo shoots and my cache preferences were set to Keep 100% Preview In Cache and Automatically Export Cache To Folder When Possible. My cache size was set to 500,000.  Yesterday, Bridge started to freeze while attempting to open folders. The wheel would spin at the bottom with the message Compiling Criteria. The only way to close Bridge was a Force Quit. This happened several times.
    Today, image thumbnails will no longer display, only the DNG/JPEG icons. I received the following error message:
    I have tried restarting Bridge while holding the alt/Option key to reset the preferences and checking all three boxes - no luck. I have done the same thing with the boxes unchecked - no luck.  I have tried manually purging the cache from its location in the library - no luck. I have tried resetting the cache preferences from the toolbar - no luck. I have tried deleting the cache files from the folders - nothing changes. I have tried purging the cache for each folder from the tool bar - nothing happens.
    I need to restore the thumbnails and rebuild the cache for each folder. Does anybody have an idea what is wrong or how to help?
    Many Thanks!

    Okay, so I have a solution. If after purging the central cache on the server Bridge continues to not perform normally try emptying the trash. I did this and it worked.
