Memory sticks with space give 'not enough space' error if I try to add data
This must be a known issue, but I can't find it on any searches.
I have been trying to copy photos from a desktop folder onto 1 GByte memory sticks. I've tried 3 sticks and in each case when I try to copy data I get an error message: "The item "DSCF0204.jpg" cannot be copied because there is not enough free space" or similar.
I've tried copying the data in smaller batches and find I can copy photos until the 'not enough free space' message appears. In the case I have on the before me know, the info window for the memory stick says it has 816.3 MB of free space - which fits with the number of photos added. The picture I am trying to add is 1.2 MB and is not corrupted. I got the same error trying to save a document from Word.
As I say, I've had the same problem with 3 memory sticks.
I also have a problem when it comes to burning discs - they won't burn. I can't remember the error message off hand, but perhaps there is a link with something wrong in the file copying procedure.
My hard drive has 6.16 GB of available space.
Any ideas or pointers to threads where this has come up greatly appreciated.
Hi eww,
I was meaning 'memory stick' in the generic sense, not the TM sense.
The format of the one I'm experimenting on was FAT 16.
Following your reformatting advice, I opened the disc utility. This showed the device as MS-DOS FILE format, with a volume in FAT 16 format. A test showed no problems with the device. I did an erase of the volume, setting the format to MAC OS Extended.
Good news: I was able to copy all the photos onto the device. Bad news: I put it onto a Windows XP laptop and when I tried to open it I got a message saying: "You must format this device before you can use it."
As I'm wanting to take the photos to a store that will most likely have a Windows machine this is a problem!
I reformatted it on the Windows laptop to FAT 32. Plugging back into my powerbook and it appears on the desktop, but not in a Finder window. Disk utility now shows the volume to also be in MS DOS FILE format.
Good news: I am able to copy all files onto it. More good news: It also opens on the PC! Bad news: Just this thing of it not appearing in a Finder window with an eject icon next to it - though it is on the desktop.
So formatting to FAT 32 on a Windows XP has solved my immediate problem.
When I have a bit more time, I'll see if I can find out if any of the other MAC formatting options both allow me to save data on the MAC and open the device on a Windows machine.

Just have time come to this forum:
think you are running out of swap space.Google surge this too,
at first I install solaria I give 512M out of totally 2G in memory,
then I run
# zfs create -V 512M rpool/additionalswap
# swap -a /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/additionalswap
on meantime
swapfile dev swaplo blocks free

After Effects give "not enough vram" error with GTX690
I have a Mac Pro with 2 GTX 690's. Both have 4 Gigs of memory. To be more precise each card has 2 processors so each processor only uses 2 GB. When I open AE I get a "not enough VRAM" error so I can't run ray-tracing. 2 GB should be plenty of VRAM, so I don't get why it would say that. When I go to GPU information in the Previews preference window, I have enable unsupported GPU checked, but "GPU" is still greyed out. In the OpenGL section, it reads that I have 2 GB of vram. What gives? How come After Effects isn't seeing the VRAM for CUDA? Very very frustrating. The cards work fine in Premiere and EVERY OTHER APPLICATION that works using CUDA. After Effects is the only one that freaks out. Need a fix for this.
Hum, that seems weird. I mean, I CUDA is sooooo very much faster than regular CPU rendering that C4D does. The ideal situation would be to have the Cineware plugin actually be able to use any of renderers in C4D, not just the standard. Then I could select my Octane renderer and have screaming fast 3D live in AE.

hi all,
The DC gives "not enough space on the disk" error while building .
Any suggestions !
Regards,
MOhammadhi
The DC gives "not enough space on the disk" error while building , this means
ask your BASIS consultant to remove the log files from the server node and then build the application
this would solve your problem , and your Basis consultant will be very well aware of this problem .
Thanks -
i have a ipod touch and i got it for christmas with an iTunes card .the problem is that i downloaded videos and now it said that there is not enough space and i only downloaded 8 and now 5 don't download how do i erase them.can get my money back
Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted. -

I'm trying to download vide'os to my iPad but I'm getting an error that there is 'not enough space'. When I look at my space, it's mostly music. I've deleted out albums from my itunes but it has not freed up any space. How do I delete these albums?
Music takes up very little space, movies use a lot of space.
Settings, music
Setting, usage
Both these area will give you info but if the movies are bigger then these areas allow, you may not have enough room even with removing all the music.
How big are these movies and how many? -
I am getting disc full messages on my Mac, unable to empty trash because not enough space, how do I proceed or do I need to increase my 4gig of memory in which case how do I go about this process.
You are confusing RAM (Random Access Memory) with hard drive data storage space.
Your hard drive storage is getting too full if you can't empty your Mac's main trash.
Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
( as you mentioned, you can't empty this as your hard drive is too full.)
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck! -
I am trying, unsuccessfully, to export an iphoto smart album- 12,000 photos, no movies- (information is showing 31GB total) to a brand new 32GB scandisk flash stick. A caution msg keeps saying "there is not enough space to complete this" Help!
You need a larger drive or an external drive - they OS needs a minimum of 10GB just for normal operation so you are already experiancing degraded preformance - if yo do not get more space you will start losing data
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

When syncing with i tunes message comes up saying not enough space and i cant understand why as ipad is 16GB
- Because as the message says what you want to sync to the iPad exceed the space available on the iPad. You either have to sync less to the iPad or delete some items from the iPad.
- Also, in the colored bargraph that shows the distribution of storage on the iPad, how large is the "other" category? If larger than about 1 1/2 GB then restoring the iPod should reduce that so you can regain that storage. -
Having problem with i Pad sync getting pop up message as below. The i Pad cannot be synced because there is not enough space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 10.03 GB required). There is enough space be it in PC or on i Pad. Why and What can be done to resolve, please advice appreciate. Thanks
It generally means - just using random numbers for examples - the iTunes on your computer holds 45 gig of content, you have a 16 gig iPad which has 13 gig of free space and the content just won't fit.
Easy solutions. go into iTunes and 'manually manage' your content. I believe this is in the main summary tab for your device (connect your device, click on the icon in iTunes to access controls for your iPad
You may also need to choose to manually control content in both the music and movie tabs.
Apple - Support - Manuals
the manual will have more specific info for syncing and controlling content -
I have a windows HP computer with windows 7 installed, when I try and update and restore my phone, I get an error message of there is not enough space on your computer to restore your phone. Any suggestions and help is appreciated.
You need to discard or save to an external disk and then discard some of the stuff we all tend to keep forever (movies, music, pictures, docs, apps no longer used, etc.). A clogged up disk also does not function ideally either.

I transferred my files, including iTunes, to a new computer. When I go to sync, it says I'm still synced with the old, do I want to erase and resync. AND then it says not enough space. What to do?
Pictures, assuming they were taken with the device, can be copied off at any time. This has nothing to do with syncing.
If the pictures were instead synced to the device via iTunes, they are not the original images. Instead, they are optimized copies of the originals for display on the iPhone. There is software that can extract them, google it.
Where is the backup of the computer? And before you ask, the iPhone, like all iDevices, is not and has never been a backup device. -
Installation fails with "not enough space" message ...
Installing Application Server 8.1 on Solaris Sparc on network with lots of space but get this message in the log file of the failed installation:
ERROR - exception while updating command line utilities
Not enough space
ERROR - default domain creation returned following exception: /home/lm71165/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin: not found
INFO - End core server configuration.
Any ideas on why this occurs?
Thanks."Not enough space" message is issued by J2SE due to lack of swap space and not disk space per se in this case.
To resolve this, first uninstall partial installation using provided uninstall utility (available in installation directory). Then, make sure that you free some additional swap space: delete all unnecessary content from /tmp partition and shut down all unnecessary processes running on the system. Once you do this, you can restart the installation. -
My Lacie External backed up on Time Machine after the first back up but now says there's not enough room. I thought TM deleted old back ups to save new versions. What am I doing wrong. This happens to me constantly. Every single external hard drive I've purchased for the MacBook Pro (5 of them) has not worked either initially or at the second back up. It either isn't formatted properly so I have to go to Genius bar to help me set up for the first back up, or after the first back up, it says there's not enough space and I have to go back to Genius Bar. Is there a way I can fix this on my own?
I just purchased 2 external hardrives. a LaCie Minimus and a G Drive. Each 1 TB. The guy at Apple told me that would provide 2 good TM backups for me. My internal HD has 750 GB capacity, of which I'm using 700 GB. Perhaps the ratio is not great enough. I do wish they would have told me this before I purchased the two Bummmmer! I even had them format and get the first back-ups going because of issues I've had in the past. I also just bought a 750 GB for photos.
So, I won't be able to buy another bigger external since I've just purchased 3. Ugh. Well, I'll just exclude some files and divide things up. Eventually, I just want my 20,000 iphotos on one of the 1TB externals, and a TM back-up on another so that iphoto will function once more. It really hates how many photos I have and is brutally punishing me for it.I seriously need to do some housecleaning!
Thanks for the advice. Just moved from US to Australia last week and was hoping to upload a few photos and the domino effect has lead me to this. Just went to Genius Bar in Perth today and they told me how to reformat drive to transfer iphoto library over, but I got stuck at trying to back-up my TM.
