"Not enough disc space" when exporting

Hello all -
I am running iPhoto 2.0.1 with OX 10.3.9. My hard disc has 40GB.
Every once in a while, when I try to export a large number of photos into a desktop folder or as a slide show to QuickTime, I will get an error message saying, in effect, that there is not enough disc space to complete the export. My hard disc at those times has anywhere from 7 to 9 GB of free space. Quitting and restarting iPhoto has no effect. Neither does restarting the computer. Often times editing a photo in Photoshop Elements which then puts the edited picture back into iPhoto fixes the problem - but not always.
More often than not, the export works fine. But these "error" situations keep occurring every now and then.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your replies -

anybody?

  • Error: not enough disc space?

    I am trying to export my first project. Even though I have 133G left on my external hard drive I get the (not enough disc space) error. My project is 87 minutes long. Since my external drive has more than enough room, I guess the program is only recognizing my internal drive (which only has 4 gigs left). I have been opening the project and editing it through the external hard drive for quite some time now, so I am a bit confused and frustrated. My capture scratch discs are set to the external drive. I have been trying to figure something out with the media manager, but to be honest, that thing scares the **** out of me. I use FCP 5.0 on a G5 dual 1.8. Using NTSC DVCAM 48K. Is there something I'm missing about using the external drive? Any help would be appreciated!

    disk formatting is handled by the Disk Utility application in the /Applications/Utilities folder.
    reformatting your disc will ERASE ALL the contained data
    ... and you DONT want to format as FAT32, rather the opposite. the advice was to check that your disc is formatted as Mac OS Extended, and if not, to format it as such. you can check this by selecting the G-RAID's disc icon in the finder and pressing Cmd-I to open the info window.
    Look down to Format, just above Capacity, in the General properties.
    no doubt you will receive extra advice to ensure that the drive is not "Journaled" but this is not a big deal

  • Code:25 Not enough disc space Help!!!!!

    Hi there,
    Can someone help me before I smash my PC up!
    Adobe you need to sort issues out with your products before you put your sofware on the market!
    For the last four days I have been trying to create a Blue Ray disc, which has been sent from Premiere CS5.2 to Encore via dynamic link.
    The project is 2hrs 36mins in length.Transcode settings are set at Transcode Default Settings. Dimenions of project are 1440x1080, Frame Rate 25.
    I have 398Gb free space on my drive and 2Gb free space on disc.
    Start to bulid the project in Encore, this takes another 10hrs to transcode, then it attempts to write onto disc then I get "CODE 25" Error not enough disc space?????? What the **** is this ?
    I have gone through the forums on here which have mentioned deleting the session files, done all this and still no luck.
    I would appreciate it if anyone has managed to solve this problem and pass their findings on to me.
    Thank you

    Hi Guys,
    I have finally managed to burn the project onto Blu-Ray but I have a slight issue with the Audio being slightly distorted. What would be the best settings for the audio?
    This is what I did to get it onto disc:
    Exported my project from Premiere CS5.2 through AME then imported into Encore 5.1. I did change the Administrator settings as advised and it looks like this did the trick.
    My Encore Project Settings were set at: Codec H.264, Dimensions 1440X1080, Frame Rate 25, Upper Field First.
    Export Settings from Premiere were set at:
    Video
    T.V Standard: Automatic (based on source) (PAL)
    Frame Dimensions: 1440x1080
    Frame Rate: Automatic
    Field Order: Automatic
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Automatic
    Profile: Main
    Level: 4.1
    Bitrate Settings
    Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 1 Pass
    Bitrate Lever: High
    Target Bitrate: 18.75
    Maximum Bitrate 22.5
    Audio
    Codec: Dolby Digital
    Audio Layer: Dolby Digital Stereo
    Frequency: 48 KHz
    Bitrate Settings
    Bitrate (kbps) 192
    Do I need to up the audio bitrate for better sound as I'm getting distortion. If so what is the best setting for this?
    Thank you all for your help

  • Try to burn Blu Ray. It says: Not enough disc space

    Hi everybody,
    I try to burn a blu ray disc. My Blu Ray Writer is: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH10LS30
    I use 25GB BD-R Discs from Verbatim.
    If I try to burn a 20GB *.iso file, every tool I tried says immediately: There is not enough disc space. What is wrong?
    Even if I try to burn smaller files to Blu Ray, it always says: There is not enough disc space.
    I'm confused
    Regards
    Maik from Germany

    The 'There is not enough disc space' message appears immediately. It doesn't matter if the output file is 500MB or 20GB.
    I tried different BD-R discs. It is always the same message.
    I found a similar case:
    I am trying to burn a blu-ray disc but having problems.
    Do I really have to buy a 90$ tool so I can write my movie on BD-R?

  • "Safari could not download the file because there is not enough disc space"

    "Safari could not download the file because there is not enough disc space"
    I have 60gb available on my MBA and I have "read and write" privileges for the download folder. This error seemingly came out of nowhere. It doesn't matter if the file is 1gb or 10mb, I'll get the error. All I have to do is remove the .download extension and I can use the file which is complete despite the error.
    This is really annoying so any help would be appreciated.

    I never used to have a problem with creating a new folder and moving the download into it
    But you'll have a problem if you do it now.

    I. I want to import 58.64 GB of Photos from an external HD
    2. I have 278.28 GB space left on my HD
    3. The exact error message goes like this......
    Insufficient Disk Space
    iPhoto cannot import your photos because
    there is not enough free space on the

    I Have researched this and most advice is to empty the iPhoto trash. I have already done this and it did not help.

  • HD Space vs FCE "Not enough disc space" warning

    I'm trying to capture a 1 hour 27 minute video only clip. I've checked by settings and they are for my external drive that still has 346GB remaining. However, when I click "Capture" the device stops the clip after 9 minutes plus a few seconds, saying I don't have enough disc space or memory.
    To get around this, I'm re-starting capture each time I get that message and creating 9 minute clips. I've captured video and audio segments up to a couple of hours without getting this warning before. I guess I'm too inexperienced at FCE to know where I should look to override this erroneous message. Even the Capture Window---which shows color bars and space to name the bin, reel, name, etc...says across the top that I have 344.9GB total free space, and total free AV time of 1545 minutes.

    The HD is a Western Digital MY BOOK 500GB...
    Is this a Firewire HD? If it's USB2 that will also be the cause of your problems.
    Video needs firewire because of the method of data delivery in constant stream rather than in 'packets' as via USB.
    I can't say why you've not had problems before - some people can capture via USB but it's not recommended and will probably lead to dropped frames and other issues.
    Have you checked the formatting anyway? - all I can say is that it's well documented and recommended to capture to a drive to an external firewire and for it to be formatted Mac OS Extended (not journaled) for your computer set-up (as you can't add additional internal drives). Any other set-up will lead to problems.
    Perform a search, there's a few posts in this forum referring to capture limited to about 9 minutes.

  • "Not enough disk space" when there seems to be

    I'm a newbie to iDVD and iMovie (my last Mac was a Performa 6360--still using it for the family budget) and got my daughter a MacBook as a graduation gift. She is using it to combine movie inputs from a wedding/reception that come from digital camreas and a couple of video cameras. We went to Flip4Mac to get the necessary features to import .wmv files (only way we could download one of the vidoe cameras).
    Issue: When she tries to import vidoes already on her computer, she gets: "The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space to import Macintosh HD/Users/julie/pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2007/Roll8/CIMG1442.AVI"
    Basically the question is how to get more room on her disk to import and to save? She seems to only be able to Save--she can't Save Project as an option because it says she doesn't have enough disk space (she's deleted the trash). Help says you need to have more than 400mb of free space or it gets difficult but the indicator shows 28.8GB free space left...so there seems to be some kind of disconnect?? (Or maybe we're talking apples and oranges?)
    On top of that, she also gets the same error message when she tries to burn the project onto a disk???
    I went through the first 5 pages of the forum and couldn't see a similar problem, but then I may have not known what to look for?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...she's trying to give the DVD as a Wedding gift--somewhat belated.

  • "Not enough disk space" when there seems to be (+ rapid memory consumption)

    [Note: I originally posted this in the iDVD section, but due to an answer I got there to another question and further conversations with my daughter, figured out this is probably an iMovie question?]
    I'm a newbie to iDVD and iMovie and Forums (my last Mac was a Performa 6360--still using it for the family budget). I got my daughter a MacBook as a graduation gift. She is using it to combine movie inputs from a wedding/reception that come from digital camreas and a couple of video cameras. We went to Flip4Mac to get the necessary software/features to import .wmv files (only way we could download one of the video cameras was by going from PC to Mac--can't remember if it was a Sony or Canon).
    Issue: When she tries to import vidoes into iMovie HD 6.0.3 which have already been transferred to her computer, she gets: "The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space to import Macintosh HD/Users/julie/pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2007/Roll8/CIMG1442.AVI" [She says this is about a 4 min. clip.]

    [Even more disturbing, just in the last couple of days with only a little time spent on the computer, the 28.8 GB has dropped to 2.3GB--obviously there is something she is doing that she is not aware of or shouldn't be doing that is consuming memory at a rapid pace.] On top of that, she also gets the same error message when she tries to burn the project onto a disk using iDVD???

    Hello Karstn Schluter,
    This is fm's daughter who is havin ghte difficulites. at the end you tell me to try to answer 1-8 so i will try.
    1- how can you tell if the avi is containing divx? or not?? do I need to just keep this in mind when importing these files
    2- I have not brought in an external drive. I did try making my laptop computer a harddrive so I could import my imovie poject to my eMAC at one point, but it was not allowing me to do that either. Because I had to have it in DVD form or something
    3- No I did not segment the internal drive....sorry How do you do that??? Right now I am trying to find out what is taking up all the memory and Hard Disk Drive space....i do not know how to do that either....Do you know how???
    4-Yes I know flip4mac is for wmv....I guess what that question was emplying was that I also have wmv files that I am trying to import to imovieHD and that is not working either...I can get my avi to get into imovieHD, but not my wmv. files
    5-THank you for the tip with the trash then another question to this one how do you delet projects that are taking up memory that are no longer in use?
    6-Thank you for the tip...so then ignore the not enough disk space.....how can you alter the disk space so that you can save the project under save project as and not just save project?
    7- Sorry my dad was miss informed I cannot import the wmv. files to imovie and I cannot import imovie to iDVD I only have transferred one and then all of the other files are not seen as movies so I can not import them?? Does that make since
    8- When we were useing the Sony Camera originally we could not import the video to the MAC because it did not have the correct firewire cable and it would not been read onto the MAC computer. So, we have to buy the flip4mac equipment so that I would be able ot download the inoformation to the computer by a wmv.file dvd so we are having difficulites trying to import that file.
    I hope these answers clear up the question a little bit more and sorry that your answers brought out more questions. Thank you very much for helping me. I was using a different program in my college class so changing to imovie and idvd has been a huge struggle for me. Thank you once again.

  • Not Enough Free Space when downloading Iphone photos

    I recently updated my mac from OSX 10.5 to 10.6 after installing a new hard drive after the original one crashed. I was able to successfully install and update my mac to the latest version of Snow Leopard without a hitch. Now for some reason when I am synching my Iphone or any device to download from I get an error saying there is not enough free space. I have a 120Gb hard drive with 70Gb available. I opened Disk Utility and ran the Disk Verification that came back ok, I then did a permissions clean up, reset my NVRAM  and trashed all of my library/preferences/com.apple files. I even went into itunes 11 and selected a new folder to download to. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO!? I feel like there is some string of coding that is still left over thats trying to access my old drive...
    My Stats:     1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
                        Memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
                        OS X 10.6.8
                        Itunes 11
                        70 Gb of free space
                        Iphone 4s 16GB
    Thanks!

    I have 1.6 GB left on my phone but im not trying to upload to my phone. I am trying to download pics and videos from it so I can free up more space. I will however try your suggestion and delete stuff that I have on the cloud to free up even more room.

  • Not Enough Free Space when there is more than enough

    My ipod's capacity is 6GB but when I go to update it, i-tunes won't let me because it says there is not enough free space. I'm only trying to update 3.3GB onto my ipod. Can I get around this somehow?

    You can try restoring the ipod, this wipes it clean and itunes adds it all back UNLESS you don't have the files/songs on the PC

  • Error not enough disk space when upgrading to SAP B1 8.8 PL14

    Hi,
    I'm trying to do a test upgrade for a customer running SAP B1 2007.
    When running the upgrade wizard for SAP B1 8.8 PL14 I'm having an issue with not enough diskspace for the backup.
    In the help file it's says that you need about 3 times your company database and enough room for common and other upgrade files.
    The company database is about 35GB
    Tried putting it on a network drive with around 2000GB and it told me that there was not enough disk space...
    Thought it had something to do with the network drive so I added a local disk with 400GB, still it tells me that there is not enough disk space, what to do?
    I must also point out that I'm running this on a virtual server.
    Thank you
    BR,
    Anders

    HI Anders,
    You may try this,
    1. Take a back up of the db.
    2. Go to Sql and detach the database.
    3. Paste it in a drive with at least 5 times the space of your database (175 gb in your case.)
    4. Go To sql, attach the database with the new location in new drive.
    5. Perform upgrade.
    6. Once the db is upgraded, you may take a back up and follow steps 1 to 4 to bring it back to the original destination. Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Joseph

  • "Not enough free space" when there is

    I'm trying to copy a bunch of fairly small files to a 512 MB SD card using an external card reader. Even though the Finder tells me there is, say, 300 MB available, when I try to copy a number of files at once, I'll get a message telling me that a certain file can not be copied because there is not enough free space. However, if I go back and try to copy that file and a few others, they'll copy without a problem. I'll copy another relatively small number without a problem and then try another bunch and get the error "not enough free space" message again.
    While I eventually did copy all the files in small bunches, it was a drag and I'd love to find out why it didn't work in one large bunch. . . .

    Perhaps the write-speed to the card via the card reader
    (likely just in the card's circuitry itself) is too slow to take
    a load of files for copying that way. Given some of the
    camera cards can barely move one image at a time to
    the card from the camera's processor, you have to figure
    this load of several strings of different files at once has
    to be a considerable load on the card's limited speed.
    Some cameras and devices with fast image processors
    can use faster memory cards. If you need to drag-drop
    images or files in large capacity groups, consider getting
    a faster speed card and see if that helps. Or use a USB
    Flash Drive, since some of them do better with file groups;
    if just using the device to move large files between PCs.
    Good luck & happy computing!
