My computer won't let me install a program.  Says not enough memory although I have 70 GB available

My computer won't let me install a program.  Says not enough space available when in fact it has 70 GB available.  It selects Macintosh HD as the destination.  It will not let me navigate to the Applications folder.

- Exactly what are you doing? You saying you are trying to syn it to new comnputer. When yuo sync it to a new computer iTunes will erase the iPod and replace its contents with what is i the iTunes library of the new computer.

    Don't try to turn the iPad off until you reboot.
    On your iPad, Did you try holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears? If you didn't try it, go ahead and do it. Wait until the Apple logo appears on the iPad screen before you let go of the buttons.

  • Computer won't let me install anything anymore

    Ever since I repaired disk permissions this afternoon Mac won't let me install anything.
    What happens is I clicked "save to disk" to install something, I look at my desktop and either a .exe file pops or the actual file pops up but when I click on it it simply vanishes into thin air.
    I was trying to downgrade Quicktime 7 earlier today and that is when I first noticed. I thought it was a quicktime problem. I was wrong.
    HELP!
    Thanks

    What operating system are you using? (If you're not sure, click the Apple icon at the left of the menu bar and choose 'About this Mac'.) The current version of iTunes requires 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you have anything earlier you may be able to get a higher version of iTunes (what version do you have now) but not the current one.
    If you do have Snow Leopard or higher then evidently something is wrong; do you get an error message and if so, what?

  • What does it mean when iTunes say "not enough memory" and won't let me buy songs?

    Everytime I try to purchase a song, I get a message that says "The iTunes store cannot complete your request. There is not enough memory available." I have plenty of space on my computer. What does this mean, and how do I fix it?

    You need to do as the message says and contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Can't update iphone as not enough memeory on computer. Have tried to move itunes to an external hardrive and I thinm it has moved and clicked on the Itunes folder from the external but still says not enough memory..help

    Our computer is REALLY low on memory...we will get a new one at some point but can't at the moment.
    Upgraded to the new iphone 4s and bought an external hardrive so I could move my Itunes library to that, so I could update iphone/itunes (isn't enough memeory on PC to do this)
    I read that I need to consolidate my itunes first but again when I tried to do this it said not enough computer memory.
    Anyway I tried to move the itunes folder over to hardrive and then it looked like it had worked. Clicked on itunes via the external and it opened ituens up..brilliant I thought!Backed my old iphone up and then clicked update...then a m,essage came up saying not enough memeory on comouter to update.
    Is this because i need to delete itunes off the computer?
    Am worried in case it isn't on the hard drive correctly and will lose everything!

    You would be better off to go through and uninstall programs you no longer need or use and move your data over to the external drive, at least temporarily. The iOS update file will be somewhere around 700MB. If your system has less than 20% free disk space, you're pushing the limits even without trying to download something that large and back up your phone so the update can process. If you're running less than 10% disk space you've entered dangerous waters no matter what you're doing.
    This really isn't iPhone related and we can't advise you as to what data and applications you can move or delete. You will have to make that determination yourself or get a friend or family member to help.
    If you do not have a current backup of your computer system, you need to make one. NOW!

  • Computer won't let me install itunes

    Have been using itunes for a few years now, was getting the latest update, and my computer wouldn't let it download. Is it my computer or the update?

    What operating system are you using? (If you're not sure, click the Apple icon at the left of the menu bar and choose 'About this Mac'.) The current version of iTunes requires 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you have anything earlier you may be able to get a higher version of iTunes (what version do you have now) but not the current one.

  • It won't let me install because I'm not the administrator.

    See, I bought this computer used (imac g3 os 9.0.1), and I changed the settings to that there would be different accounts and stuff, so that the children wouldn't be able to get into my computer and read my stuff. So, since I made a new account for myself that's different from the admin, there are limitations...how do I install os x? It won't let me because I'm not the admin...
    Thanks!

    Hi Again Lady Kathryn Depaul!
    Check this page Firmware Update, and see if you can identify which of the iMac models you have.
    The correct Firmware Update, can then be downloaded from there.
    If one is required, you must start the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk, not from a CD, in order to install it.
    But before that can be installed, you will still probably need an Admin password.
    So I think you will need the OS 9 system discs first.
    Discs are available from AppleRescue.

  • Time Machine won't overwrite oldest backup ? ..says not enough space

    Seemed to start sometime after installing Snow Leopard..
    Used Time Machine Buddy, it says:
    Starting standard backup
    Backing up to: /Volumes/LaCie Disk/Backups.backupdb
    Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
    Node requires deep traversal:/ reason:must scan subdirs|new event db|
    Starting pre-backup thinning: 56.32 GB requested (including padding), 5.69 GB available
    No expired backups exist - deleting oldest backups to make room
    Error: backup disk is full - all 0 possible backups were removed, but space is still needed.
    Backup Failed: unable to free 56.32 GB needed space
    Backup failed with error: Not enough available disk space on the target volume.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    *"Backup failed with error: Not enough available disk space on the target volume."*
    Make sure you have sufficient disk space on your startup disk to back up to...
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
    *"Backup Failed: unable to free 56.32 GB needed space"*
    In this case you need a minimum of 60GB of disk space for that back up.

  • My computer won't let me install the PalmOne Software

    I have a strange problem.  My computer decided on February 18 to no longer let me sync with my phone.  I have been to Palm's Website and run through the trouble shooter, but nothing works. When I plug in my Treo 755p, the computer recognizes the hardware, but when I push the Sync button, I get two sounds from my computer--the "ta-DA" then the "DA-ta" sounds.  I run Windows XP.  Also, PalmDesktopWin62 has downloaded, but then won't fully install onto my computer.  The Palm CD won't run either.  Can someone please help me?
    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

    can you please post the error messages you encountered when you install 6.2 and what version of XP are you using.
    thanks.

  • Just installed a new kodak printer and now photoDeluxe 2.0 won't open says not enough memory

    just installed new kodak all in one
    printer and now my photodeluxe 2.0
    won't open. This program has worked fine for years can anyone tell me what's going on and how to fix it?

    Boy, did you stumble into the wrong forum...
    This is the Camera Raw forum relating to raw processing of digital captures-it has zero to do with PhotoDeluxe (which I don't think has been for sale in YEARS...). Sorry, there are no active forums for PhotoDeluxe. Guess you need to upgrade to Photoshop Elements to be even close to current...

  • Camera adaptor won't work on my ipad3. Says not enough power

    My original camera adaptor kit (2 years old) no longer allows me to read USB cards, even ones it read before. It worked with my iPad original, and iPad2, but not with my New iPad.3g. Warns me that the USB card needs more power. Faulty adaptor, or some change with the ipads3??

  • HT201364 Every time I get an upgrade request i am told there is not enough space on my start up? Not enough memory? I have taken all i can off the computer, I'm ready to go back to windows and a new lap top

    What do I do?

    Buy an external drive and move your largest Library folders (iTunes, iPhoto, etc) to it.
    Point iTunes and iPhoto to these new directories to test them and then delete them from your internal drive.

    You need to Delete Content from your iDevice...

    Your iCloud Stoage is not the same as available Space on your Device.
    NOTE :Purchasing more Storage on iCloud will not increase the Storage Capacity of your iDevice.
