Linux Mint 17, migrated from Win7: Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.

I get this error message (The messages could not be filtered to folder 'Generic Folder' because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.) popping up on many, though not all of my incoming filters. I recently migrated from a Windows 7 installation to a Linux Mint 17 system.

I did give it time to run through everything when I initially migrated, and it frequently will sit open for 3 to 4 hours while I'm working on other projects.
The 'Generic Folder' represents sorting folders in my main mail account in Thunderbird. For example, my mail which is listed to filter into my 'Amazon' folder is sorted there with no problem, while any mail designated to be filtered into my 'Games' folder prompts the above error massage.

  • Error msg when I compact: The folder 'Inbox' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify you have enough disk space, and have write privileg

    I recently had my computer serviced. I re-downloaded Thunderbird (getting a newer version), and retrieved my saved email. Now, Thunderbird keeps asking me to compact, but when I do, I get this error message:
    The folder 'Inbox' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.
    Obviously, since I'm getting mail all the time, I have write privileges, and disk space. The question is whether there's a setting I need to specify, or whether Thunderbird is writing to a special partition that may have gotten write-protected when my computer was in the hospital - or whether this is related to a known bug.
    All help appreciated.

    The only know bug I can see is probably your anti virus is trying to scan the file when the new inbox is created leaving Thunderbird to think the file was not created.
    As an experimental / diagnostic process. Restart the machine in safe mode with networking using Microsoft instructions for [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7] then try the compact. If it works I was most likely right. If it does not, another idea must surface.

  • Adobe Presenter is unable to publish this presentation. Please check that you have enough disk space and you have appropriate permissions for the destination folder.

    I have Presenter 10 and published already my presentation to adobe connect. But now I cannot do that any more. I can't publish to my computer or as pdf also. I used collaboration and then put it off, but no effects. Where is the problem?

    Hello Thomas,
    I also deleted files in C:\Windows\Temp, but that didn't help, I still don't have a presenter add in icon in a ribbon, but under the new windows account I have presenter in a ribbon. 
    I am using Adobe Presenter 10, MS PowerPoint 2013 and Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1). On my "old" account I can see presenter in File, Options, Add-Ins as Inactive Application Add Ins. Every time I check it to be active, but all without result. So I prepare the slides on my account and go to another account for publishing. I'll be happy to resolve this problem.

  • How to undrag stuff from trash but it says not enough disk space now i am stuck

    Hi- I was trying to free up some disk space by removing rejected movie clips to trash.  when i did, i noticed a project had the warning exclamaiton point and it wouldn't play.  my event had been erased.  when i tried to drag it out of trash, it said i didn't have enough disk space.  so now i am stuck.  i can't get it out of trash, i can't erase other things because stuff i want in trash is there.  any suggestions would be helpful.
    thanks.

    I can't open either one from the disc. I have to drag em, and one document has to make a copy because the actual file from the disc is too big for the hard drive =/

  • Get an error message when importing from iPhoto says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space."

    I get an error message when importing from iPhoto that says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space." the drive is empty, I just reformatted it to Mac OSX journaled.

    I'm guessing this is an extrenal drive, correct? If so make sure the library you're importimng into is really located on the external drive. By default Aperture creates its library in your home pictures folder.

  • I tried to download yosemite but the download failed because of poor wifi connections and I tried again but I did not have enough disk space how do I get the space back from the failed download?

    The failed download of Yosemite used up disk space and I can't find away to delete that because it is taking up 4 GB of space that I need to download Yosemite.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.      
    Application Compatibility
    Applications Compatibility (2)
    Do a backup before installing.
    If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again.  You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.

  • I'm trying to purchase shogun 2 but it won't let me because I don't have enough disk space, I managed to free 33Gbs but still nothing, how much free space do I need for that?

    It doesn't even let me download Empire Total war which is 13gb

    First, the App Store will not allow a download that, when expanded, would leave less than the minimum amount of available space on the startup volume that Apple considers necessary, which is about 9 GB. The download is a compressed archive that will usually expand to about twice its size. Both the archive and the expanded files will be present at the same time, so the actual amount of space needed is about three times the size of the archive.
    If you're trying to add a large amount of data all at once, and you get an alert of insufficient space, then from the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Time Machine
    If the padlock icon is closed, click it to unlock the settings and authenticate. Turn Time Machine OFF, then back ON and close the preference pane. Restart the computer. Test.

  • HT202412 I want to delete all my files in Final Cut and start fresh.  Will that be accomplished by deleting application and reinstalling? I am worried all the media will be there again.

    If I reinstall the Final Cut X app, will all my media be there?  I want to get rid of it all.  Files are missing, etc.  A hot mess.  Seems easier to just start over but I don't want that media to show up again.  Thanks.  Must have had a bad day when I made my username here.   Sorry.

    The operation can’t be completed because the item “com.apple.FinalCut.LSSharedFileList.plist” is in use.
    I got this message as I tried to empty trash.  Final Cut X is not open.  How do I get rid of this puppy?  Thank you.

  • MacBook Pro with SSD that has a limited disk space (120GB). Rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.

    I'm using MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD that has a limited disk space. As we know, when rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.
    My question is, Is there any method to get the rendering Projects file saved into an external hard drive which is connected with USB/ Thunderbolt/ Firewire, with huge disk space (eg. 500GB HDD).
    Now, new project created in my Mac is automatically saved in (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects) and my Mac has ran out of space to hold the files.
    Thank you.

    You have at least 3 different ways to show the project library:
    1) Go to WIndow->Show Project Library
    2) Click the button in bottom left of your window: 
    3) Hit the keyboard shortcut (Command-0)
    The project library will be shown, occupying the area where the timeline usually is.
    Your hard disks will be visible. Click the hard disk where you want the new project to reside and hit Cmd-N to create a new project.

  • I bought a game that has 16.66 GB and my computer has 30 GB free, however when I try to install it it says there is not enough disk space available.

    Whenever I try to install the game it says there is not enough disk space available. I have tried to delete things that take up space but it did not help.
    Game:Napoleon Total War

    30GB's free disk space is not enough. If you don't free up storage space soon, your Mac may not boot which is why you see the, "not enough disk space available" dialog.
    Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
    You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
    Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk
    Restart your Mac after deleting data to see a difference in storage space.

  • HT204350 Hey, migration from an old mac late 2008 aluminium to a brand new mac book air. Only the new one has firewire. Transmissiom via wifi estimates ~50h. Is there a faster Way to sync? Tanks in advance

    Hey, migration from an old mac late 2008 aluminium to a brand new mac book air. Only the new one has firewire. Transmissiom via wifi estimates ~50h. Is there a faster Way to sync? Tanks in advance

    I'll venture that your problem here is that you're using two very different versions of Mac OS X.  The USB adapter has been useful to me when making big downloads or while using other networks, but it might not be your case. 
    Here's what I would advise, though it may be less than stellar:  Copy the files you need into folders and move them through a USB flash drive or using that external hard drive of yours. (Could the format be the reason your MBA can't see it?). Some stuff like calendars and contacts can be exported too. At least in Lion, I haven't used Tiger in a while. 
    Good luck.

  • How to migrate from my old MacBook Pro to a new one with less disk space and an external hard drive?

    I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and an external hard drive.
    Yet I have problems migrating data from my old MacBook Pro (more internal disk space with around 500 GB data) to my new one (internal disk space less than 500 GB). 
    I have connected all 3 devices but it seems the Migration Assistant does not have an option for us to select to migrate to an external hard drive.
    Any other way to do it?
    Kindly help me.  Thanks.

    For your situation, Target disk mode may be the most efficient method:

  • I'd like to make sur the update from iOS 5 to iOS 7 is done OTA and that you don't need to plug in to iTunes to upgrade when your device is in iOS 5. thx

    Can you tell me if the upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 7 is made OTA and that you don't need to plug in to iTunes using your PC. thx

    If running iOS 5 or later, update can be OTA or via iTunes.
    Be sure to have a good backup. OTA requires at least 3 GB
    free on your iPhone, less if done via iTunes. Make sure your
    iPhone is fully charged and you have a good wifi connection
    before attempting OTA update.
