No disk space left on my pc because of photostream!

Hi,
my pc has no disk space as it has all of my photostream saved on it, so how can I stop this happening (the 1000 photos are saved on pc even though the photostream box is unticked on my pc in icloud)?
I have found that if I delete a photo in photostream folder saved on my pc it also deletes it from my iphone camera roll and any folders I have put it in, so what would happen if my pc 'died'? Is there a way to delete all my photostream on my pc, but keep them on iphone, and how can I make sure that they are not saved again when I next sync my iphone?
On itunes there is a box that says 'sync photos from' and it gives option to choose a folder on my pc (this box is unticked), but I thought itunes saved photos FROM iphone, not from pc?
How can I view my photos on icloud.com, all I can see are folders for mail and reminders etc?
Thanks a million (frustrating!)

>...everything is automatically saved to the C one?
Depends on which kind of data you are writing about.
For instance, you use download application eMule and by default download files will be saved in folder created on partition C. for this purposes you can create own folder on partition E and define this in eMule settings, so all downloaded data will be saved automatically on partition E.
If you have some files on C just move them to E.
If you don't know how to this I m afraid you should visit some Windows course and learn basic stuff about operating systems or buy some book and learn how it works exactly.
Please don't understand me wrong but you are missing some basic knowhow about operating systems and how to work with.

No disk space left error

I keep getting prompted that I have no disk space left, but I have over 40GB left. It then wants me to force quit my applications in order to continue doing anything. My mac is also running a lot slower lately and I constantly have to force quit applications because they freeze. I just got it about 2 months ago, so I really don't understand the problem.

Sorry.
Yes, I have 116 Gb available. If I had not much than 14 Gb, I'd figure the problem!
About the fragmentation... well, since my computer is new (around october 2007) and I never passed beyond my 116 Gb free space, I doubt the disk is too fragmented. At least, I never took care of fragmentation on Mac OS.
I just discovered that DiskWarrior 3 does not work on my system (10.5.1), so I don't even know another tool for fragmentation.
Thank you.

Not Enough Disk Space Left

I'm trying to make a highlight film to send to colleges for football and im using imovie hd. I've imported 2 game films onto a project from a usb jump drive and made 15-20 7 second clips from them. Then I've deleted the big game film files from the project. I'm trying to import another game film, but everytime I do it says "Error during import. The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left to import gamefilm.mp4"
I thought maybe it was because I didn't have enough space on my hard drive. But it says there's 1 GB left on my drive. Each film is about 225 MB. Plus I loaded the film from the jumpdrive to the harddrive with no problems. Then I thought it might be there's not enough room on the project. So I opened a new one, but its the same problem. How do I import the new film...?

Welcome to the forums.
It sounds like you're encountering a problem when iMovie converts the file from the USB drive Presumably the game film is very compressed on the jump drive, but iMovie converts video into a format it can use (at about 13 gigs per hour). A gig on your hard drive means that you deperately need more hard drive space.
Once you free up more space for import, you've solved only part of the problem because burning your project to DVD will take gigs more space. Over in the iDVD forum, you'll see recommendations for 10-20 gigs of free space for burning a DVD.
Besides this project, your computer needs space to function effectively. Some folks say we need 10% free, but that's a lot of space on a big drive. I start to worry if I have less than 10 free gigs for everyday use; more if I'm doing a video project.

There is not enough disk space left to import

I am in the middle of editing a movie. I have imported two clips and am trying to import a third.
I have precisely 62.42Gigabytes of hard disk space (I have a 120 Gig HD). The clip I want to import is 1.69 Gigabytes.
I get the following message:
Error during Import
The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left to import...
I tried moving the project to another account on the same computer but that did not work either.
I have searched through these forums and many others seem to have the same problem but I have yet to find ANY workable solution!
HELP please!

The clip I want to import is 1.69 Gigabytes.
By any chance, is the "clip" a compressed QuickTime movie? If so, when iMovie converts it to DV a 1.69GB movie may expand quite a lot. Please describe the clip.
And describe the disk the project resides on. Is it an internal disk or external disk?
Here's some things to check out...

The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left

The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left to import
why? I have 53.1 Gb left and I can import the whole movie but when I broke it up into chapters to edit it will only import 2 edited chapters I don't like imovie
anyone ??

I just had the same problem this morning. I tried to import a 500MB mp4 into iMovie HD, and I have 9.5GB on my hard drive, but the same error message came up.
If the 500MB mp4 file was highly compressed and iMovie converted it to DV, it's quite possible iMovie would run out of disk space.
Although 9.5GB sounds like a lot, it's tiny when editing video. (Each hour of video is ~13GB.) When iMovie complains that it can't find the disk space it needs, it's not a good thing. Everything is put in jeopardy. Don't forget that thee Mac OS X itself needs a certain amount of elbow room. When it can't get it, big problems can occur.
The main drive of your Mac should have at least 10-15% free disk space at all times, even AFTER iMovie/iDVD is done handling the video.

How to find out how much disk space left on hard drive OS 10.7.5?

Yes, this probably seems like a dumb question; however, after I installed OS 10.7.5, I noticed that the little bar at the bottom of each window which revealed available disk space has disappeared. How do I get it back? How do I find out how much space left on my internal hard drive?

Low disk space left on Q drive on T430s

I have seen a few posts where a few others have had this problem but so far I'm having no luck figuring out how to fix it. I bought this laptop for my wife and set it up yesterday with no messages. Turned it on today and it now says I have only 1.67GB left of 13.6GB.
How can I fix this problem... any help would be great.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dan,
I'm not sure why my Q drive is running low on disk space, but have read that once a back up had been done that this drive can be deleted. I did the back up thing but part of me wants to save the recovery on Q in case I lost the back up disks or that maybe there might not have copied correctly. I just don't understand as to why the disk space seems to be shrinking. Such a pain when no one seems to have any idea as to how to fix it.

Disk Space Left

Hi All,
Just a quick question you may be able to help me with?
I have an imac 800 G4 with 768mb Ram. It only has a 60GB hard drive. The drive has only about 1.4GB of space left. I have noticed a lack of performance over the last few weeks and was wondering if the lack of disk space would be causing the slow down.
Any ideas if this would be causing my slow down?
Thanks
Dan

Once you've followed Ian's excellent advice: the long term solution will be additional storage:
You could archive old data to CD-R/DVD-R using your optical drive very easily; just use the Finder's disk burning capabilities.
Also you could purchase an External Firewire Hard Drive. This is likely to be faster than your internal drive (5,400rpm vs 7,200rpm respectively) and can have a capacity of up to about 1.5Tb(!). Here are some examples. You can add internal drive but this is more complex and some 800Mhz iMac users report that they are limited to 128Gb (which is the addressing limit on the IDE bus on older Macs).

IOException when no disk space left

Good time of day, everyone!
In my program, I have to copy files of a quite substantial size from one media onto another. Since the free space is limited, I need to catch the case when it gets no longer available. The total size of files is unknown and cannot be computed beforehand (random element), so checking availability before copying each file would barely make sense.
What I need is to catch the case when it ultimately runs out of free disk space while copying. What exception is that? The program throws some unreadable gibberish (likely because of my locale):
java.io.IOException: ═хфюёЄрЄюўэю ьхёЄр эр фшёъх
Another thing that worries me is that it takes quite a long time before this exception is thrown. Maybe there's a better solution?
Googling gave nothing so far :(
Thanks in advance!

You're burning CDR's or DVDR's, right? The common approach to "making stuff fit" is to pre-build a file collection... to burned when the user "commits" the selection (by pressing a burn button). This allows the user to organise the content to "best fit" accross multiple media... most burners now automatically workout "best fit" based purely on size (I guess using some sort of [backpack algorithm|http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Backpack+problem]).
Overall the trick is remove the "randomness" by delaying the burn process.
This doesn't really apply to (reliably) rewritable media... Note that DVD-RW's are notoriously NOT reliably rewritable... the probability of corruption seems to nearly-double on each overwrite after the first dozen (or so)... I gave up using them for backups, and went back to DVD-R's... (now I use an external HDD).
What I need is to catch the case when it ultimately runs out of free disk space while copying. What exception is that? The program throws some unreadable gibberish (likely because of my locale):
java.io.IOException: ═хфюёЄрЄюўэю ьхёЄр эр фшёъхTry changing your locale to English (temporarily), so you can read that error message... and also try writing it (the exceotion) to a UTF-8 encoded file... I suspect the console is responsible for scrambling the high-order UTF characters.
Another thing that worries me is that it takes quite a long time before this exception is thrown. Yes... it would, it would take time to fill the destination media, wouldn't it... so do your size check before you start copying anything. Also worth noting that most users prefer an "upfront, all or nothing" paradigm most of the time... giving them confidence that when they hit the "go" button it will eventually work... nothing worse than a slow kettle that needs watching.
Maybe there's a better solution? Yes, several... It's just time to bight the bullet and get serious about this, or just use one of the plethora of libraries ;-)
Googling gave nothing so far :( Thanks in advance!Yep, google is excellent for "named problems" of all sorts (from aircraft maintenance scheduling to fish recipes)... not so good for problems such as this which have (AFAIK) yet to be ascribed a common name.

Not enough disk space left error

I am trying to put a video that is in .mov format into imovie HD and then export that into a DVD file so I can burn it and play it on a DVD player. But right away when I try importing it to edit it it says not enough disk space. I have 18 gigs on the hard drive that I am using right now. Is there any way around this or would the file just become that big or what? Thank you beforehand for any information you can provide.

No that doesen't pretain to my problem I am not having a problem burning the disk or with Idvd at all (yet anyways) just importing it to Imovie without a pointless error that makes no sense. Of corse it does talk about skipping imovie completely by using Idvd which is what I am trying to do now but it takes a very very long time for quicktime to convert files of that size. But I will see if it works and post back again.

Available disk space.

Hello Guys,
I would like to ask that do any of you know a way to find the available disk space left to be used by the data files in the database. Scenario is that what would happen if the available disk space on the server is very less or let's say its 1% free and this time the datafile needs some space to expand (automatically). It will give an error and the process is screwed up. Solution 1. Monitoring on the OS level, but what if the OS level solution fails to warn the administrator? Can we detect this via the database?
We are using Oracle 9i RAC on HP-UX, i can do this on HP-UX but i would like to know if there is a way to find this in Oracle Database?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers!!

OEM can be one option which can generate alerts if the disk is about to full other than that I there is no database view which can tell you the details of disk space, from database you can query OS like using host in sqlplus and then parse the result but I dont know why any1 want to do that because you can do this better with some shell or perl script.
Thanks

I doesn't have any space left on my MacBook Pro what can I do?

Hi can please get some help with this: my macbookpro retina doesn't have any disk space left and you can't upgrade it, what can I do?

your computer is NOT a storage device
clear cut case
You need to change the premise of your SSD use.
see here:
Your Solid State Drive and having enough space inside your Macbook Air & Pro
Solid State Drive usage premise, or the “more space / upgrade SSD” question
There have been questions posed and positions taken by many people who are trying to use their Macbook Air or Pro’s solid state drive (SSD) as a mass media storage device, for either pictures, videos, massive music collections or all three combined; but this should not be the working premise of a ‘limited’ SSD and its use.
In which, it’s the case of those users with either 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB of internal SSD space, that have or are running “out of space”, that questions are raised. The immediate premise of some users can sometimes be “(how to / if) upgrading my SSD” when in fact in nearly all instances another approach is the logical and sensible one that needs to be looked into and exercised.
Any Macbook containing a SSD should be idealized as a ‘working platform’ notebook containing all your applications, documents, and weekly or bi-weekly necessary files. All collections of media files such as pictures, music, and videos, unless directly needed should be kept off the notebook and on an external hard drive or likewise. While the ‘working platform’ premise is also the case with larger internal conventional hard drives of 1TB+, its implementation isn't as critical except in terms of data protection.
Realistically, you should at most coordinate roughly 20 to 25% of your total SSD space to all audio-video personal use media (picture / music / video collections), leaving the remaining amount on an external HD.
Nobody should consider any notebook a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device; and in the case of a SSD, this is more important for purposes of having sufficient working space on the SSD and reducing SSD ‘bloat’ in which cases someone is wrongly attempting to use the SSD space as a large media storage nexus.
The rare exception to the collective usage and premise of SSD use in which a much larger SSD is truly needed are for those in video and photography professions that require both the extremely fast speeds of the SSD and the onboard storage for large and or many video and photography files. However this also falls under the premise of a ‘working platform’ for such peoples rather than the intent of many who are using the SSD as passive and static data storage for media files very infrequently needed or accessed.
All on-notebook data collections should be logically approached as to necessity, and evaluated as to whether it is active or passive data that likely doesn’t need to be on the notebook, allocations of space-percentages to as-needed work and use, apportioning space for your entertainment media, and questioning whether it should it be on the notebook for more than short-term consumption.
Considerations should be made in the mind of any user in differentiating the necessary system data (System hub) comprising the Mac OSX, applications, necessary documents that both must and should be on your internal SSD, and that of the users personal data (Data hub) comprising created files, pictures, music, videos, PDF files, data created or being created and otherwise, that likely unless being used soon or often should be parked on an external hard drive for consumption, or temporarily loading onto the internal SSD.
You both can and should purchase whichever SSD size you need or see fit, but even in the case of the largest of SSD, unless use-considerations are made, and SSD spaces are allocated as should be the case indicated above, one can easily and immediately run into this quandary of “needing more internal SSD space”, in which instance a different approach in usage must then be implemented.
However it is almost always the case, that such large media files are wanted to be stored internally rather than actually needed, in which case the external HD is both prudent as well as necessary. Additionally costs per MB are infinitely less on an external HD than an internal SSD in any consideration of data expansion needs.
A Professional Example
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.
You should also never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your Macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’. This is especially what your external HD is for.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their notebooks internal SSD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your Macbook has a SSD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your notebook to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Slim USB3 1TB external hard drive
External Hard Drives
External hard drives are both extremely cheap and regardless of the size of your internal SSD (or even internal hard drive if the case), you need an external hard drive with your SSD equipped Macbook for several reasons:
1. Data backup and protection.
2. Redundancy for important data.
3. Necessitated ideal space for large media files for collections of pictures, videos, and music etc.
While ever changing in price, typical portable 2.5” external hard drives in USB3 run roughly $65 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB small portable USB3 hard drives. Such drives range in thickness between 5mm and 15mm, with recent improvements in storage of 500GB drives in 5mm profiles.
There is almost no premise in which a small 12mm thick 1 Terabyte USB hard drive cannot be taken along with any Macbook as an external large storage extension inside any Macbook carry case or pouch. Typically such external HD profiles are not much bigger than a deck of cards.
External hard drives are a foregone necessity for purchase with any Macbook for at the very least Time Machine backups, data redundancies, and ideally for large media storage.

Not enough disk space message occurs by installation or CD/DVD burning

Hi,
When i want to install a game or burn a movie then i will get the message that there is not enough disk space which is not true because the disk space on my laptop is about 55 Gb and on my external hard drive i have still about 95 GB left.
Why do i have this problem and what is the solution?
Greets

As far as I know some burning applications uses a temporary data folder to copy the files form the CD on the HDD and after successful burning procedure this files will be deleted.
Mostly such temporary data folder is placed on system partition C.
I assume you have partitioned you HDD and the space on the C is not enough.
Change it.

Not enough disk space problem!, Not enough disk space problem!

Hey Guys, how come when I try to download additional content it says I have to delete unnecessary files because I don't have enough disk space although I have 10 gb of disk space left, the additional content total is 6.8 gb. Something also does not make sense because the additional voices loops I want to download takes up 907 mb, (says this on the right of page) but at the end the total is as stated 6.8 gb.
Really Urgent, Please Reply!!!!!!!!

You need a bit more than twice the download size on disk, because the successful download need to be installed, which briefly doubles the need for space.

How can I regain the choice of merely opening/viewing an e-mail photo attachment or downloading it and taking up unnecessary disk space?

Idiot Internet Explorer always gave me the option of merely opening a document or saving it to my hard drive. I thought Firefox was giving me that option also, until I started realizing over the past two or three months - I've been using Firefox since December - that every photo I look at is being downloaded and saved onto my hard drive!
I had zero disk space left to do Internet security updates with last Thursday. Been cleaning out my "Downloads" file. Most of the stuff I didn't even choose to download. It's just being saved in the file automatically.

If the files are loose inside the iPhoto library package here's one way to get them out:
1 - open your library, select all of the photos in the library and add a unique keyword, XXXX, to all of them.
2 - Rebuild the library with iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
3 - open the library, create a smart album with the criterial "Keyword is not XXXX".
4 - the smart album will include those photos that were not visible in your original library. Select them and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move them to the iPhoto Trash bin.
5 - empty the iPhoto Trash bin via the iPhoto ➙ Empty iPhoto Trash Bin menu option.
6 - empty the Trash bin in the Dock to remove the files from your hard drive completely.
Be sure to read Note 1 above. You can use the new library without your books, slideshow, etc. and it will not contain those errant files. Of course delete the original library if the new one is satisfactory.

No disk space left on my pc because of photostream!
