Logic showing disk full when it's not

while tracking the other day on a clients song twice logic (8.2 on 10.4.11) the disk status showed that the disk was full and stopped recording. while this has never happened before, this only happened while using punch in function. after shutting down the song and reloading, the disk went back to normal reporting of space left (457gb out of 500gb). does anyone know if this a logic bug or just an anomaly associated with this particular song file.
thanks

Hopefully it will never happen again, but there's no need for a thumb drive or an internet connection. Sometimes it's helpful to have a screenshot showing the error dialog, but often it's sufficient just to note the exact text appearing in the message. And you can do this the old-fashioned way, with a pencil and paper. Or even a quill and parchment! (If you're working in a really old-fashioned studio.)
logic seems to be doing a lot of these anomalous things lately and it's really annoying.
One way or another there has to be an explanation, so if these things happen again and you post more information, I bet you'll be able to find solutions.

Mac Book Pro on Mountain Lion HDD shows almost full when it is not

Hi,
I am using a MacBook Pro End 2011, with an HDD of 500 GB.
There is a partition on the HDD, and one side runs Mac, and the partition is for Windows 7 via Parallels (about 125 GB).
SInce about the last 10 days, my HDD shows only 10 GB of free space, and I think it should be having much more free space.
My data is about 105 odd GB, and the folder "Applications" shows about 7.5 GB used.
I fail to understand how the HDD can be out of space.
I tried using Disk Utility, and the option to "Repair".
While it runs and repairs some permissions, it says that some permissions cannot be replaired and that they have been modified, but the problem does not resolve.
Also , the machine feels a bit slower than before.
Help much appreciated.
Thanks, in advance.

In other words, how does your explanation account for ED (enhanced definition)?
ED is generally considered to be 576p or 480p, but this is not universally accepted and these resolutions are often accepted as HD also. Additionally an ED signal uses non square pixels just as SD does so the horizontal pixel dimensions should be no more than 720. Exactly how the tv would treat these resolutions I don't know (yet).
If you have a copy of the source code for the function that displays the HD icon, please post it so I can take a look at it.
Why should I have such a copy and why is it relevant. The issue here is that the OP believes his video is incorrectly labelled HD which is not the case. There may or may not be anomalies in the way the tv attributes the HD label to some files (although it isn't the case for me), however the OP has incorrectly converted his source video and they are no longer SD, they are also not ED by whichever definition you wish to apply and any such anomalies should they exist are not responsible for the OP's files being labelled HD.

Error message ''Disk Full' when trying to export with CS6, works fine in 5.5

I get an error message when I try to export media in Premiere CS6 that I don't have in CS5.5
I use export media for a AVCHD 60fps sequence with a few photoshop images on top of the main track. In the export settings I choose ''match sequence settings'' which gives me a .mpeg I- frame, 1920 x 1080 P, 60fps, quality 50, and a I tick the ''use maximum render quality'' check box at the bottom.
It used to work fine but now I get a message: Disk Full where there is 1.5 TB free on the disk?
I have the exact same sequence made in Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and it exports fine.
It started to act weird after I used the queue for the first time and it went to the CS6 encoder.
Since I used that once and it gave me that message for the first time, even when I try to do the same thing directly in Premiere CS6 , I always get the same error message.
Question 2, is there a place to change the settings from 50 to 100 for the quality of this export profile?
By the way I can export with other profiles without problems but this setting is the only one that I've seen that lets me keep my 60 frames per second in the export
process. (Example: I can export this sequence in the H.264, 1920 x 1080, 30fps, high quality preset, using the maximum render quality in CS6)

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the input but if you read my message correctly and until the end I already can export to other settings and I want an answer to this problem. There's no logical explanation to why this suddenly wouldn't work with the same sequence that it used to do fine with and that CS 5.5 handles fine.
As I said earlier this is the only setting that lets me export my sequence with the 60 fps, that I know of, for further and easier manipulation. As my main camera provides me with these 60 fps I'd really like to be able to have them left in that transition phase and, no, I'm not gonna give up until I know, really, what's going on and solve that problem. If this is a bug it needs to be fixed, if not I want to know what's happening.
Also there's no answer to my question 2: Question 2, is there a place to change the settings from 50 to 100 for the quality of this export profile?
So for you experts out there the question is still hanging.

This error generally indicates a hardware failure. Bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

CS6 Disk Cache reporting as full when it's not

I put a 120GB Samsung Pro 840 Pro SSD on a Sonnet Tempo Card into my 4,1 Mac Pro to use a AE's Disk Cache, I set the disk cache to 100GB
Recently AE often reports that there is not enough available space on the drive for the cache when I start it up. When I look at the drive in the OS, it says there is over 100GB available and the cache folder is 10GB in size. A previous time the numbers were different but essentially the problem was the same - I should have a lot of free space but AE doesn't see it.
What the hell is going on?

That message does not say that the cache is full.
That message says that there is not enough room to safely store the amount of cache that you have specified.
So, the cache may only have 20GB in it now, but After Effects is telling you that if it fills to the full 100GB that you have specified, then you're going to run into problems.
This is meant as a polite forward-looking warning that you have set the total size of the folder too high for the amount of space that you have on your disk.
You should never fill a disk all the way full. You should always leave some free space. Opinions differ, but 20% is a good conservative amount to leave free.

Startup Disk shows Almost Full when working in Motion.

Hi
I'm in Motion 5 and I have 10GB space left on my startup drive.
I have my project saved to an external drive. When I am working in Motion, I start to lose space in my startup drive and finally the message pops up
"Startup Disk is Almost Full". When I check the startup drive, it shows only 35mb left.
I shut everything down and restart my Mac Pro, my startup drive shows 10GB again.
This only happens when I am using Motion.
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Z

Have you tried a safe start by holding the shift key when you boot? If that works, and it can take a while to complete, see if a regular boot now works. If it does, you need to free up space on your hard drive.
If a safe boot doesn't work, you need to either boot from an OS X DVD or go into target disk mode to connect via firewire cable to another mac to free up space on your hard drive. You need 5GB min, with 10% to 15%, or more, better, for systems usage. If you have a backup, move some data files to it, erase them and empty the trash.

New hard disk full when is not

Hi. I have a Mac 10.4.11. Two years ago the original hard drive died so I took it to the computer store and replaced it with a new and larger hard drive. It's working great.
When I go to disk utility, it says
CAPACITY 297.8
AVAILABLE 219.2
USED 78.2
so why do I get the msg that the hard drive is full. Is there anything that I can do to fix this?
Thanks!

Sorry for my late answer.
Your previous post: Disc Utility to erase free space bring nothing : the free space is free. You should verify your disc to see if there is some problem in the file system.
From your second post I understand that you can try to delete some files. Have you already emptied the basket or you do not empty it from time to time ? There could be a lot of stuff.
Also some Apps have theyr own basket or a place to keep deleted data like mail.
Check if you have duplicates and if you can delete something or move something to an externald Disc.
Best solution whould be to change again the Startup disc with a bigger one.

Brother's iMac won't download updates, indicates disk is full when it's not

I convinced my bro to not purchase a Windows machine, due to spyware, viri and such. He'd been using an office pc, which had an IT department to keep the crap off and as such had a relatively problem free existence. I informed him that with a PC he'd be constantly working on keeping it virus free. Of course, with the problems described hereafter, he is having second thoughts about my advice and so am I....
Here's the story.... he had update to 10.4.11 first, after that he couldn't download Google Earth updates. He was learned of other problems because the daily Google Earth tip would come up and wouldn't go away. At about the same time, the ability to download ceased. He was trying to redownload Google Earth to take care of the earlier problem.
Of course, as a new mac user, he was sleeping his mac at night, not understanding that the OS does maintenance routines in the early morning hours. So this may have led to some of his problems.
Nonetheless, he now has a machine, which won't download.
The machine would indicate that there was insufficient disk space. But there is well over 50 gigabytes of space. Of course, we tried repair permissions, etc. We then decide to do an archive and install. The machine still won't permit downloads as it indicates there is insufficient disk space.
Short of deleting everything and reinstalling, is there anything else that can be done?

Thanks for your insights. I'm an Applejack fan too. Use it from time to time also. We tried that last evening. It wouldn't download either. Interestingly and perhaps a clue for those with more insight than me into this - nothing will download to his Mac, except, the Apple software updates. They, mysteriously to me, are permitted space to download. Is that a clue anyone can discern and to which anyone can give me some insights?
Interestingly, one of the updates is a firmware update 1.2 I recall. I told him to have backup power, in case, there is a power failure - when he does this. I'm guessing that may be part of his problem as well.
The problem with Apple is that there is no instruction book. And many folks aren't interested in delving into the complexities of command lines and such. I guess we need another Mac Bible or Mac Encyclopedia (my favourite in pre- OS X Macs). It's difficult diagnosing this stuff over the phone. I'm counting on, when I can afford it, running his computer by remote, when I can afford 10.5. Realizing I can do this now, I'm not prepared to set it up just yet.
So, thanks for the suggestions, he's going to get a flash drive, or blank cd roms and copy his stuff to a CD, then do a clean install, after he updates the firmware.
Please don't wait to write, should anyone have any further insights on this.
Don't know whether he sees any extra disk space.

Keep getting errors that Disk Space is full when it is not

This past week I have had problems with my mac. It started last week when it stopped letting me save files to my hard drive along with running very slow. I still had around 100gb left on my drive at this time. I checked my disk through disk utility and all was fine. The problem persisted and because I have projects due this week I went ahead and backed up my important files and wiped my drive and reinstalled OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.5. The problem still persists and applications are hit and miss at opening. When I try to save a file I occasionally get the disk space error. When I try to install bundled applications such as Illustrator or After Effects they always fail. I installed clamx to see if there was any vicious malware, clams would not update its virus definitions and would always fail when attempting too. I finally got it to update and the scan found nothing. I went to disk utility and when I verified disk I got "Problem with EFI partition" I repaired the disk and still issues persist. The Macbook Pro is only a year and 3 weeks old. I had to use a friends computer to post. Any help would be greatly appreciated here.

The Macbook Pro is only a year and 3 weeks old.

Have you tried using other keyboard to see if the present one is broken. It is not uncommon to find that some keys stop working in some keyboards. I have some keyboards in which certain keys don't work anymore.
Hope this helps.

My iphone 4s says it can't sync my itunes because its full when its actually not

hi, i am trying to sync my iphone 4s to my itunes (essentially new phone, new computer, old library) (my phone was synced to my old computer before this), but it won't work because it says it is too full. The bar along the bottom of itunes and the 'properties' section on my computer each say i have at least 14GB left on a 32GB phone, and my itunes library is about 16GB, therefore i should have enough room to sync to the library on this computer. i have even tried just adding a few artists but still it says it is too full with roughly the same amount of mb apparently required. i have allowed access to sync to this computer etc, i have removed all duplicates of songs (a leftover effect from syncing it to my old computer first i think), and the 'other' section is displaying as only small so shouldn't be clogging it up.
So i'm at a bit of a loss on how to get my phone synced (and put my new albumns on there).
Also, on what i think is a slightly seperate issue - when i originally synced to my old computer's itunes library it would show all my songs on my iphone, but over about 1/3 of them were greyed out and unplayable on my phone but not my computer? not sure if these are related?
If you can answer either or both of the questions i would be pretty blummin chuffed!
Thanks muchly!

Well i seem to have sorted this myself - i reset my phone back to its original settings and then used the back up on my computer to restore everything. so far all my songs appear to be there, i'm just chasing up where my Apps have gone!
