Not enough disc space?

I was about to burn an iMovie in iDVD when I got an error message saying:
"Burning this movie to DVD will require approximately 3.02 GB of disk space, which is less than you have right now. If you proceed, the burn in iDVD may fail. Either save the iDVD project to another disk, or free some space first."
I'm confused; what is the "disk space" the message refers to? And how do I free more of it up? Thanks for your help.

Hi
Free space is How much free space is there on Your internal boot hard disk ?
Read at bottom of the window opened by double clicking on the hard disk icon.
How to free up. Either.
• Move files, documents, movies to another hard disk (only documents that can
be stored else-where).
• Delete files, documents, movies that you never need any more
• Or buy a new and larger hard disk and let Apple Store migrate Your files over to this-one
Problem is and for all of us.
• Mac OS need space to put Temp-files (invisibly) to be able to run (about 3-5Gb)
• iDVD also needs to do this (I set a minimum of 20-25Gb free space for this)
(Nor Mac OS or iDVD can't do this to another external hard disk - the space has to
be here on Main drive)

  • 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.

  • "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?

    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
    volume containing your iPhoto library
    I Have researched this and most advice is to empty the iPhoto trash. I have already done this and it did not help.
    Thank you for helping

  • 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

  • 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.

  • STUDIO PRO: Not Enough Disc Space / External Phillips DVR-110

    DVD Studio Pro 4 has a 1:52 chapter marked movie (exported from Final Cut Pro to Apple Quicktime; SOUNDTRACK cleaning involved) with menus.
    When trying to write to disc, get "not enough space" error
    Bought an external Dual Layer Phillips DVR-110 & connected it via USB2. When trying to write to a +R dual layer disc, get a level 0 error. Get same "not enough space" error when trying to use a single density -R disc in the Phillips.
    IMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   DVD Studio Pro / +R disc

    If you are encoding in DVD SP, encode outside (changing thee prefs is not relaible exxceept for new projects, and eveen then better to encode outside DVD SP)
    1.) Make sure to use AC3 audio, not AIF
    2.) Set your Average bit rate to about 4.8 (It is a bit lower than recommended by calculators http://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm which recommmends 5.2 Average forr 2 hours with 192 AC3 files, but that may push you too close to the edge. If you wanted to drop a bit more may still be oaky in termss of quality, 4.5 vs 4.8 mmay not even be noticiable)
    You should be able to get this on a DVD-5. Does the hard drive where you are building to have enough room?

  • Archive and Install problem (not enough disc space for another install)

    Alright, so I've got the blue screen. I tried getting rid of the APE stuff, and they were all successfully deleted, but it's still the blue screen. So I'm going to do the Archive/Install thing. My problem is that if I try to do an Archive and Install, I won't have enough space to do it. I have around 3.5 GB right now, but that's probably not enough to do another install.
    My only option I think is to go into single-user mode and manually remove my larger files. I have a back-up drive, and I tried removing all the stuff that's on the back-up drive from my computer, but all of them are listed as read-only.
    So is there a way to override permissions in the UNIX thing? Or is there another option for me with?
    Also I don't know if this matters, but I'm installing it from an external DVD drive and I'm doing it from PANTHER and not Tiger.

  • Not enough disc space on iphone4

    Seems as though I have filled my new 4 with too much music. itunes tells me that my phone is 2.9 gigs over subscribed. BUT, now I want to remove music from the phone to free up valuable space. (should have bought the 32 gig). I've pushed and pulled, deselected all sorts of sync options in itunes, but I still get the same message. What to do? Any ideas.
    Have an Iphone4 16 gig, and an Apple Pro, with latest version of itunes.
    Thanks

    If you can't sync anymore, restore your phone "as new iphone" and start again syncing music.

  • 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'.

  • "Not enough free space" with multiple internal hard drives

    I have a Power Mac G4, dual 1.25 Ghz, 2mb Ram running 10.5.8. I have four 500gb internal drives. I've had a number of issues with my internal drives lately. Hopefully someone here can help.
    When I "get info" none of the drives display capacity or availability.
    When I attempt to copy files from one drive to another I will consistently receive this error:
    "The item "filename" cannot be copied because there is not enough free space.
    My startup drive should have over 400GB of freespace, so there is plenty of space. This problem also occurs when I connect my Macbook Pro in target mode and attempt to transfer over files.
    I was able to boot the G4 into target mode and backup my data. I then installed a fresh copy of OS X 10.5, then did the 10.5.8 combo update (not through software update).
    This seems to have fixed the problem as I was copying and organizing my files back and forth between drives quite easily. However, the problem has returned from out of nowhere.
    Anybody have ideas what this could possibly be?

    Hi iliveontrantor, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Have you emptied the Trash on those drives?
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
    OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...
