"not enough disk space", but I have 60 gigs

So i'm trying to import this 2 hour vid, and it's telling me I dont have enough disk space.
But I have 60 gigs on the drive i'm drawing the video from!
I look in prefs and it doesn't have an option to select a hard drive, is it selecting it automatically?
How many gigs do I need for a 2 hour vid?

In DV Stream format you would need 26 GB's for "raw" DV import to equal 2 hours of capture.

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.

"Not enough disk space" error using Burn

I'm using a brand new Macbook Pro and trying to burn a 60-minute CD (.wav files) using the Burn app. but it keeps telling me there's not enough disk space when i have over 220 GB. can anyone help fix this or point me to a Burn guide? i couldn't seem to find one. thank you for your time!

Hi PGVPGV,
It is not altogether clear to me which process you are following here.
To duplicate a CD using Disk Utility's "Burn" process:
1) Open Disk Utility, insert the CD or DVD disc in the optical drive, and select it in the list at the left.
2) Choose File > New > “Disk Image from {disc name}.”
3) Type a name for the disk image.
4) Choose “compressed” or “read-only” from the Image Format pop-up menu.
5) Choose “compressed” to create a smaller disk image. Choose “read-only” to create a disk image that’s quicker to create and open.
6)Click Save.
7) After Disk Utility creates the disk image, eject the original CD or DVD.
8) Select the disk image in the list at the left, and choose Images > Burn.
9) When the Burn Disc dialog appears, insert a blank CD or DVD, and then click Burn.
(The above is pretty much straight from the Disk Utility Help files)
It sounds to me as if you may be using an incorrect disk image format at the image creation stage.
Just to be clear, too, is this an audio CD that you are trying to copy , or a data CD full of Wav files?
Cheers
Rod

i am getting the following message "safari could not download the file (440 MB) because there is not enough disk space. please delete files or download to another disk." when i check system information it tells me i have 249.82 GB of disk space available. any suggestions as to what i can do to resolve this problem.

thanks for your suggestion. that is the same advice that i got from the geek squad at the local apple store.
i did what he instructed but it did not work. i have since called apple support twice regarding the problem. they had me start the computer in safe mode, going into the library and deleting a phlist file (i think) do a repair disk permissions, do a repair disk, empty the cache, and finally the last guy told me to unplug the computer from the wall socket and restart.
when i mentioned the advice you and the apple store guy gave me they sort of poo pooed it saying that was done when they did all this other stuff.
i am now waiting for the download to be completed to see if unplugging the computer had any effect.
thanks again for your kindness in answering my concern.

Not enough disk space error - but not rea

I have a Nomad Jukebox 3 - no really. It runs like a champ!? I use it most often for recording 44KHz audio. I just did the auto-update thing for the mediasource and plugins, blah blah blah. Now I can't sync a large recording (about .4GB)?to my computer. It gives me this error:?There is not enough disk space at the destination for this transfer. this is obviously a bug because it was working before the update. Please HELP!!

I have the same problem - a Jukebox 3 which usually refuses to transfer files over about a gig.
My old system disk was 30Gb, and it always worked OK with that, but when I reinstalled everything on a 20Gb disk, I got problems. I slightly suspect it may get confused when it checks for disk space by a disk that's a lot bigger than was available back when the Jukebox 3 came out. If anyone knows how to fix this I'd be most grateful - last time I had to record the audio in through my soundcard!

FCP X version 10.1.1. When Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your discd. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? how can I fix this problem? not space prob

Sharing to DVD I get the following alert " There was an error burning your disc. Not enough Disk Space in Target Folder" I have 700GB   free. Where is this target folder located? How can I fix this problem? This is definitely not a space problem.
Since starting with FCP X, there has been tons of issues, now that the product actually works with the exception above, makes it impossible to share the production. Has Apple fixed this problem. is there a knowledge base article on this?
On another note, One reason I have not purchased support on FCP X is because you sold a product that never worked for almost an entire year or more.   Now I can finally finish my project, I cannot share it.....Really. This has to be fixed now, I am loosing money as I typed this.

Rob Harris

Just curious, why would repairing permissions, rebooting ( rebooted 2 times already today) or creating a new user possibly fix this.
I cannot create a new user, that is way too much work. I will repair permissions again, I repaired permissions just a few days ago. Then I will reboot, login and turn off App Nap and rerun the Share DVD.
There must be something seriously wrong with the OS if your are suggesting creating another user.   WOW!

Receiving a "There is not enough disk space available to install the product" error in App store while I clearly have enough space?

I am attempting to purchase Dues Ex: Human Revolution which requires 17GB to run, I currently have 27.34GB free.
Even though I have 10GB more than the required space I still get the "There is not enough disk space available to install the product"
Any ideas?

HI...
You need at the very least 15% free disk space. More if possible. Definitely not enough free space to install a 17GB app.

"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.]

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.

Clean Install G4 Dual 1 GHz-Not enough Disk Space Error? -SLOW USB copies

HELP puhleeeeze!
This seems to be an issue on various sites with no one being able to figure out what is the cause and a solution. One person stated his problem went away with a fullwipe and clean-reinstall of everything. But this is what I did already.
What is the reason for the "Not Enough Disk Space" error message when both my hard drives have gigs of space available. If I had hair I'd be pulling it out by now! When trying to copy a file to my 2 internal hard drives that have a lot of space available, but only by the USB port?!!
I have a Power Mac G4 Mirrored Door (MDD) Dual 1 GHz with a clean install of 10.5.8 from the Original Mac OS X Leopard DVD. Both internal hard drives are 60GB and 100GB. The hard drives were wiped clean with Disc Utilities and reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The Power Mac only has the OS and a few music apps installed. Easily over 30 GB of space left on the the main G4 interal hard drive and about 75 GB on the other internal hard drive.
The error seems to only happen when I connect a USB flash drive to the USB port. I tried to copy a 50MB update to the desktop-"Not Enough Disk Space" error message happened.
I know that the G4 MDD Power Macs only have USB 1.0. Is this a USB 2.0 issue? Another issue is that it has very slow USB speed (dramtically slower than normal USB 1.0 copying of files. And this is only when it is successful. Is it a USB format issue? I know I couldn't get an external USB 2.0 drive to mount on the Power Mac at all. Disc Utilities could see it but it still would not mount. I have a friend who has an older G4 single processor Mac that doesn't experience these issues with its USB 1.0 ports.
Now here's the kicker:
If I put in a CD disc in the DVD/RW drive, it copies with no problems to either hard drive. If I connect to the Power Mac via the ethernet network, files can copy with no problems. But any USB connection - I get a the "Not Enough Disk Space" error message. I know this is an old mac... but it's never been problematic until this latest wipe and update to Leopard 10.5.8.
Is there a solution to this? Any and all help, feedback, comments, thoughts are greatly appreciated in advance!!!

Hello everyone,
Ok, I did the ultimate task. I erased the hard drives, AGAIN. Just to start fresh from scratch. Hard drives were erased. Did a new install of Mac OS 10.5. And all was well. I could copy with no problems. I gave the computer to my friend and all was good for a couple of days and then the issue came back again. He couldn't copy anything to his internal hard drives and we received the "Not enough disk space" error message! I was baffled. A complete hard drive erase 2 times, 2 fresh Mac OS 10.5 installs and it works for a few days and then coping to HD we got the same **** problem again! THEN - I remembered that the PRAM battery was dead on this G4 Mirrored-Door Dual 1GHz PowerMac. I had recommended that he get a new battery, because this computer would always have the incorrect date and time after every restart. So with recalling this, I had him reset the PRAM by holding down the CMD+OPT+P+R keys after a restart (start-up Chime). I had him hold the keys for at least 3 start-up-chimes. Soon as the G4 Power Mac started up everything was fine again. He was able to copy files to his hard drives again with the "Not enough disk space" error message.
So everyone! Try zapping your PRAM (resetting the PRAM) and see if this solves your problem. I told my friend to get a new PRAM battery to replace the old one that is completely dead. I have not heard back from him. I will ask him again if the problem has come back.
If that fails: My only other solution would be to consider that it is possible that Mac OS 10.5 has a conflict or issue with the G4 Processors and maybe it is safer to install Mac OS 10.3 or 10.4. Because this problem only has occured after installing Mac OS 10.5, the highest version of the Mac OS the Dual 1GHz Mirrored-Door G4 can be installed.
Cheers,
B

Project/Library will not relink due to "not enough disk space"

I have a large library/project that was copied from one drive to another so I could take it to a different site/computer. When I open the project, I need to re-link the footage. FCP finds and verifies all the footage, but when I select "re-link", I get the following error: "There is not enough disk space available at the selected destination. Please choose another one or clear some space."
I've checked the project properties and they appear to be looking at the right event. The library and all the footage is on a huge drive with almost a terabyte free.
I'm not sure why I should even need additional space just to re-link to existing footage.
Thanks in advance for any guidance in this matter.

You should do this from inside FCP. Only copy libraries from one drive to another in the Finder if you're using managed media, which it doesn't sound as if you are. I'm kind of guessing a little here because I'm not clear on exactly what you did for the media.
In FCP make a new library on the drive you want to copy to. Select the project and in the inspector assign a location for the media, either managed media or external media in a folder. I like to use managed media for this, because I can always consolidate the media into a separate folder very quickly. Once you've made the new library, inside FCP copy the contents of one library into the new library. When that's done confirm that the media has been copied to the correct location. If necessary run the consolidate function to make sure all the media is correctly located.

What does error message when trying to burn DVD from iDVD mean "not enough disk space to burn the remaining assets"

I created a DVD in idvd and now when trying to burn to DVD using external burner, I get the error message
"not enough disk space to encode the remaining assets". I am using a brand new blank DVD.
I have read the help info on computer but hasnt proved helpful.
Any suggestions?

iDVD requires a fair amount of disk space to carry out the encoding process; depending on your project, you may need to have over 25 GB free space on your startup hard drive. How much free space do you have?

Windows Easy Transfer, not enough disk space

I am trying to transfer my files and settings from old WinXP to new Win7 PC, using Windows 7 Easy Transfer. I am using the network transfer option on my home network. The wizard is pretty straightforward and all went well until I clicked Transfer. I got
an error message that said not enough disk space. (It did not say which PC.) The transfer size is 32 GB, but I have 550 GB available on Win7. The XP PC has only 10 GB free, but why should that matter?
And yes, the Win7 PC is marked as the "new" computer.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,
May I know how many drives you transferred?
Windows Easy Transfer maps the old computer drives to the new computer drives while transferring data. In other words, information on each drive on your old computer
will be transferred to the respective drives on your new computer. Therefore, if the size on the other partition doesn't have enough disk space then we come across the error: "Not enough hard drive space available"
I recommend the following two suggestions.
1. Click on Advanced when transferring files from the old computer and select the only files and settings that you want to transfer, if other partitions are selected
make sure to uncheck them if it’s not required for you to transfer.
2. Try to transfer one partition data at a time and check.
Once the transfer process is successful or failure, you can anytime view Windows Easy Transfer Reports to know the details about the transfer.

OS X Mountain Lion Install - Not Enough Disk Space

I am installing OS X Mountain Lion.   The download went fine.   It rebooted and began the install then failed because there is not enough disk space. The solution is obviously to make more room on the disk.
The problem is that everytime I boot my Macbook now, it takes me immediately into the installation for OS X Mountain Lion. I cant seem to get back into the OS to clean up disk space.
Is there any way to force my Macbook to boot to Snow Leopard again?   If not, is there any way to clear up disk space from within the OS X Mountain Lion installer or the OSX Utilities?   I'd prefer not to have to wipe my entire Macbook and restore from backup then go through the upgrade again after freeing up disk space.
Thanks,
JG

Can't be that, [64bit] as this MacPro I have is fully capable, and is running 64bit.
In fact, as far as memory serves, this one I bought [B.T.O. option] was one of the 1st 64bit offerings made available.
But thanks for weighing in …
Anyone else have a suggestion?

Even the graphics capabilities, are in the favor of the MacPro, which I opted for:
ATI Radeon X1900 XT, rather than the default option at the time.
This graphics card is due to be replaced with the newer 5870 upgraded card.
Just have not slipped it in the case, as yet.
But even without the graphics card update, it is still better than the MacBook's graphics capabilities, surely?
