Not enough disk space to run app

A game I play regularly will not open. It's says I don't have enough disk space even though I have a 64G iPhone with 30G still free. I have tried closing other apps, deleting some and freeing up more space and un-syncing my iTunes and closing auto updates and refreshing but nothing seems to work and my app still won't open..... Has anyone else experienced this or know of a resolution?

I have reported it to the developer although it's at the most within 6 days until they get back to me. Never had this happen before. The app is Racing Rivals

Not enough disk space for app download

Got a message to download X Code update, when I select It says there is not enough disk space. on the drive which has my downloads folder it says I have 2.09GB available is this where the download goes?

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

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 to install sims 2 from app store?

I've seen lots of threads resolving the problem of there not being enough disk space when installing sims by a CD Disk, but I'm trying to download it from the app store so none of them apply.
I have 12 GB of space free on my macbook and the application only needs 7.52 GB.
Ideas?
I keep getting 'not enough disk space available'.
I can't open it from the applications folder rather than the Disk because I haven't been allowed to buy/instal it yet.

I have cleared 17 GB of hard disk space and 11 GB of memory space.
The requirements online when installed say 10 GB of hard disk and 4 GB of memory.
I bought my Mac last year so I don't think my system is too old.
Ideas now?
When I get above 17 GB it instals but at the end of the hour long installation it again tells me it failed to download, not mentioning space .

App Store: Not enough disk space

I'm trying to purchace a game on the App Store that is 10.47 GB and when I click buy I get an error message that I can't because there is not enough disk space. How is this possible if I have 20+ GB free on my hard drive?

Hi ...
20GB free space on the drive is hardly enough. Any less and your Mac will slow to a crawl and possibly not boot. Good rule of thumb.. make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

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.

Error msg: Sending of password for user did not succeed. Mail server responded: Not enough disk space - what's the deal?

I've been checking my email via webmail for a week and am back in the office today. Fired up Thunderbird, expecting it to pick up all my email, but it gets nothing and tells me…
Sending of password for user [email protected] did not succeed. Mail server pop.ipower.com responded: Not enough disk space
Haven't seen this particular error message come up in searches via google and at mozilla. There's definitely disk space on my machine. I'm running TB on a Mac (OSX 10.6.8). Disk Space options under Preferences > Advanced let me assign up to 1024 mb for the cache, which I've done, and cleared.
Has anyone encountered this before? Got a solve/troubleshooting process? Thanks!

Thanks. I do compact regularly (TB prompts me to) and did it (several times) via Preferences today to try and get TB past this error message.
Also went thru and Trashed + Empty Trashed as many messages as possible from the inbox, just in case. Still no-go.

Keep getting Failure to Compile Error for Not Enough Disk Space

I have burned this dvd once already, made a few changes and went to build again and it keeps telling me there's not enough disk space to compile assets. There is over 15GB of free space for a 2.8GB project, what am I doing wrong?
Any help would be great, this is a wedding gift and Im running out of time!!!!

15Gb isn't all that much, really - especially if you are making a DL disc. In order to create the files necessary there needs to be enough space for the final output, plus the same again for the build files, plus enough temporary space and room for encoded media and so on. If your project is 8Gb in total, you won't have enough space with 15Gb free!
Try to clear another 5Gb and make sure all of the space is on an internal drive, then have another go.

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?

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!

"Not enough disk space" error installing XP SP3

Just installed Bootcamp on a MacBook Air running 10.5.3. (Actually, it was a reinstall on an XPSP3 partition that began refusing to boot.)
Bootcamp install went fine. XP Pro SP2 install also normal.
Installed my standard suite:
- AVG Free virus protection
- Firefox
Ran Windows Update. Got XP SP3 downloaded. Got this error on SP3 installation:
There is not enough disk space on C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$ to install Service Pack 3 Setup requires an additional 4 megabytes of free space or if you also want to archive the files for uninstallation,Setup requires 4 additional megabytes of free space. Free additional space on your hard disk and then try again.
There's 7 GB free out of a total of 11 on the Bootcamp drive.
Tried Add/Remove programs. I'm getting the option to remove just a handful of stuff, including Firefox and AVG. (No surprise, since that's just about all that's ON the drive at this point.)
BTW, Bootcamp is fully up-to-date thru Apple Software Update utility in XP.
***?

It has been mentioned in various threads, since SP3 came out, but here is the fix:

Not enough disk space to migrate your library

When launch the new Photo app, and it attempts to migrate my iPhoto library, I receive the message:
״There is not enough disk space to migrate your library. It is estimated that you need at least 33GB of additional free space.
I have 47 GBs free on my main HDD, so I don't understand why this is an issue - anyone else seen similar?
I have a 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina display with 256GB flash drive

I found a solution to this issue, just in case anyone is interested in the future.
Essentially, despite the fact that I freed up some disk space, the amount of free HDD space in About This Mac, and Disk Utility were still showing the "old" disk space. This is a known issue in that these numbers are gathered by the Spotlight index and are NOT a realtime snapshot. Photo's clearly uses the same view of available disk space.
It will eventually resolve itself over time (indeterminable, sorry), but if you want to force the recalculation of the free space, the solution is here:

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!

Not enough disk space during application install.

Hello and thanks. I'm trying to install an application on a Windows Boot Camp partition. There are no other applications installed other than XP Pro SP2. I have about 15gb of free space on the partition. I'm getting an error that there is not enough disk space to install the application. The partition is FAT32. The application is DeLorme xMap 5.2. The free space is showing up when I check the capacity. Any ideas?
