"no photos were copied to the ipod because there is not enough free space"

i've been trying to download photos on my nano for weeks and i always receive this message :
"no photos were copied to the ipod because there is not enough free space on the ipod to hold your photos and albums."
the weird thing is that there IS free space; i actually made some (there are 18 available MB right now on my nano). and the folder containing the photos i am trying to download is far from 18 MB. but i still get the same message.
anyone knows what i could do?? thanks!!

R U sure you have enough space? Double check to make sure you are only trying to upload the pictures you want on your ipod not all the pictures on your computer (more than 18 MB).

  • The iPod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold..

    My nano has been working fine until recently, when the following error has come up each time I plug it in:
    The iPod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the iTunes music library, would you like iTunes to choose a selection of songs to copy to this iPod.
    This would make sense except that I have my iPod set on Manual Upload of my songs, so iTunes shouldn't even be trying to move all the songs on my iTunes library on to my iPod. I reinstalled iTunes but still no change. The Automatic Upload of my Podcast feature doesn't work as before, and I don't have that many podcasts, and about 250 mb of free space. Anyone know why Manual Upload isn't working right?

    The reason why all this is probably happening is because you either have no memory on ur ipod or u have so many songs that in ur itunes that ur ipod cant hold all such as if u have a 1050 songs say and ur ipod only holds 1000 or less then that message would be coming up but dont worry about its just telling u and saying it wants u to get a bigger ipod : )

  • HT3680 I get the message 'your startup disc us full' at random time point I'm trying to import photos to iPhoto and get'iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library'.

    I get the message 'your startup disc us full' at random time points. I'm trying to import photos to iPhoto and get'iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library'. This is a new Macbook Pro and all my files were transferred from my old Macbook.

    What size internal drive do you have and how much of it is used?

  • I have IPhoto version 9.5.1. I cannot export pictures, the following message appears: "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library." What am I suppose to do? I have a Mac mini.

    I have IPhoto version 9.5.1. I cannot export pictures since the following message appears: "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library." What am I suppose to do? I have a Mac mini which properly used can perform any reasonable task, the problem is I do not know what to do.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hmm... that was labelled:
    As a Test:
    In bold and all
    Try repair the main Library:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • IPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library

    Hi, I have just transferred my whole iTunes library from my old computer to my new one and am trying to sync my iPod to the new one. However I get an error message saying "iPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library (additional 5.38GB required). I currently have 8.5GB free on my iPod so I don't understand why it cannot sync.

    Hey Georgiarose94, If what's going on, is what I think it is, when you sync the information it's over written, it can take 2 to 3 times more space the get the info on your iPod, once it's there the info only occupies the space it needs. Kind if of like moving, when you first step in the room with boxes of stuff there's no room. But after you get everything put away all is well. If you haven't already, connect your iPod to your computer, from your iPod Summary page, go down to Options and check reduce bit rate to (select 128 kbps). (Wording maybe a little different). Will greatly reduce memory space needed on your iPod, and you really do not hear the difference in sound quality. Other option, go to music and select manual so you can pick which music you place on the iPod. You need to reduce by 5.38GB of information to finish your download. Hope this helps. Cheers.

  • Question I have a dilemma . I added a lot of songs in my iTunes now when I synced my ipod this message appear "Elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library (additiona

    I addesd a lot of songs in my itunes, now when I synced my ipod this message appear "elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library (additional 382m is required). Then I uncheck a lot of song and synced my ipod again same message appeared. Do I need to buy a new ipod with more memories? Somebody told me to check apply after I unchecked some of the songs but I cannot find the word APPLY. please help I'm not a very technical person.

    The Sync button becomes the Apply button, if you change the iPod's settings in iTunes.  If you are only unchecking songs in the iTunes music library, you click on the Sync button.
    When you select the iPod in iTunes, you see the iPod's Summary screen on the main part of the iTunes window.  There is a checkbox there for Sync only checked songs.  Did you check that checkbox?  If you want iTunes to ignore the songs you unchecked when syncing your iPod, that setting needs to be enabled.  If you change that setting, you'll see the the Sync botton has changed to Apply.  Click Apply.
    That method of unchecking songs works, but it may become annoying over time, as you need to uncheck more and more songs.  If you want advice on some other more convenient ways to make it work, you can post back.

  • "The iPod ... cannot be synced because there is not enough free space.."

    Error Message:
    "The iPod... cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 21.62 GB required)."
    I moved my iTunes library FROM a Win 7 32bit HD to a new Win 7 32bit HD.
    On the old HD  iTunes  uses 145GB of HD space. 
    On the new HD iTunes uses  145GB of HD space.
    On both instances of iTunes I have selected "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC"
    My iTouch is a 3rd gen. 64GB unit.
    In the past I would only take 75% of the available space. Now I am short 22GB.
         What am I missing?
    TIA,

    Appears to be fixed.
    Moved all music recorded at 128bit or less to different location.
    Moved video files to different location.
    Synced sections of iTunes collection individually: Only Music, then Podcasts, etc.
    Seems to be working fine.  Apps also came over without changes.
    ????  Only thing missing is my PLAYLISTS.
    ????    Someone know where they reside on my old HD list and why they did not come over?

    It means you try to sync an amount of content to your iPod Mini that exceeds for 4 GB, or the amount of space that is available on the iPod.  See this article for more details.

  • The ipod "ipod" cannot be updated because there is not enough free space...

    I am unable to update my ipod nano and get the message "The ipod "ipod" cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the selected playlists." Huh? I have the 4GB nano and currently have 3.55GB used and 181MB free. There are 982 songs (3.8GB) in my "ipod selection." I have no idea why the nano will not update - I recently downloaded the latest update for ipod/itunes on 3/1/06. Can anyone help with this? I have no other playlists checked to update in preferences and cannot figure this out. Very frustrating.

  • My ipod touch say cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the library but I have 10 gb of space left

    My ipod touch shows 10.1 gb of memory, but when I try to transfer a movie from my computer to ipod touch I get a error message that says "Cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the itunes library, additional 5.81 gb required. 
    I have had as many as 3-4 movies on here plus my music and had no problem, there are no other movies on my ipod.  Wasssup???  I am 66 years old, can build a house or a car engine, but for the life of me I don't understand this stuff....Help!!

    Unless the move is about 16 GB, you are trying to sync more that the movie to your iPod. I would look carefull at awhat is checked to sync to the iPod.
    Also how big is the "other" category as shown in the colored bargraph in iTunes?
