Not enough disk space to upgrade from Aperture Library

My Aperture library is about 140 GBs (I've also got an iPhoto library, which is about 40 GBs, and I don't know for sure if all the stuff in there is in my Aperture library.) I've got about 23 GBs free, and when I try to upgrade, Photos tells me it needs an additional estimated 29 GBs. What options do I have at this point? I'm wondering if this would work:
- Copy Aperture Library to an external drive.
- Delete the library from the internal drive (scary. Yes I have backups, but still scary).
- Open Photos, and point it to the library on the external drive.
Would that create a Photos library on my internal drive with all the contents of the external library? I'm worried that it would reference all the files on the external, and then I would always have to have the external drive connected to use Photos.

Okay, that's not an option. Does it need this 29 GBs just temporarily for the upgrade process? I was under the impression that the new Photos library simply references everything in the Aperture/iPhoto library, so shouldn't take up more space than what you had before. So I'm wondering if I delete some things to free up the 29 GBs, if I can run the upgrade, and then put the things back that I deleted. But if it really wants 29 GBs permanently, I'm in trouble.

Not enough disk space to restore from time capsule

I have a macbook pro, and I think time capsule backed up any eternal drive attached to it.
The macbook would not boot/? mark, so I repaired/verified disk, got to time capsule and retore, but there is not enough disk space on the macbook to repair (again as I think time capsule backed up external drive which I don't need backed up).
Is there a way to enter time capsule from the macbook, and "check" something to not restore back onto the macbook, the external drive.
Thank you
jonathan golab

You will have to open the Time Machine HDD and find the file where the external HDD information resides and delete it. Note for which date you delete the file and use that date for the restore. Review this extract from the Pondini website;
http://pondini.org/TM/12.html
When you enter the Time Machine HDD, you can open the folder like this example. Probably the best date to choose is the latest one.
Ciao.

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 disk space to upgrade to FCS2!?

I have an 80gig macbook pro and it already has final cut studio 1 installed. if I want to upgrade, i won't have enough disk space. how is this possible? I understand FCS2 needs up to 54 gigs of space....but does it really need that if I already have FCS1 installed?
If I erase my hard drive and reinstall just FCS2....will I have all the content that comes in FCS1?

FCS2 is only a huge install if you include SoundTrack Pro's "Sound Effects" media. If you use Custom (or is it selective?) install, and uncheck the Sound Effects tab, you save a TONx10 of space. In fact, if I remember right, when I installed it on my 120GB mbp it was some huge figure, like 28GB for sound effect. Unchecking that one items, and everything else in the package got installed just fine. I figure if I need sound effects, I can just do that on the Mac Pro station and save myself the space on the MBP. I'm also going to install Shake 4.1 on the MBP eventually, but I just haven't had the need to do that at this point.

IPad and iPhone "not enough available space" after upgrade to Aperture 3.1

Hello
I was syncing lots of images no problem through iTunes/Aperture to my iPhone and iPad. After upgrading Aperture to 3.1 both devices report "not enough space" during the sync and have substantially fewer albums and photos on them than before. What the **** has happened? Now the pictures seem to take up much more space.
Anyone else finding this?
Thanks
Nico

I get to this step in step 5 but I dont have the file/directory
Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
Where can I download the needed file? I think it is called usbaapl64

New mac pro has not enough disk space to install from old mac pro

So, I bought the new shiny black cylinder Mac pro, but it comes with just 250gb flash memory, not enough to install the 600gb+ I have on my older MacPro hard drive. I backed up with time machine to my G-RAID, but during install it could not find the backup. (At least I think it couldn't. It said it found one on the G-Raid but that it was last backed up in 2010!) So I attached my older MacPro in terminal mode and tried to install from there. Not enough space to install my User folder. So now I am installing Applications only. This is going to be a major pain in the neck, I fear. Why did Apple do this to us? Don't they realize there have been folks like me who have bought just about every machine since the Apple II+ and have accumulated a ton of data? Sure, a 250gb flash memory drive is going to be faster and easier for Apple to manage, but why not give us a way to downsize without having to manually figure out what to do with our iphoto and macmail libraries? Has anyone else gone through this and come up with a good solution?

For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
So you see what's going on here.
I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

LR 5.5 upgrade. I only get the the 32 bit set up and an error when the 64 bit set up should be created. It says not enough disk space and no access to write. The disk space is ok and the 32 bit file was indeed created.

Hi Rob, Thanks for your input. The temp location is on the C drive with 228 GB free space. My other drives have 123 GB and 204 GB of free space. I can see how the 32 bit set up is perfectly extracted when it stops when coming to the 64 bit set up. I have done the exercise several times and also made new downloads. I am using Norton 360 and Malwarebytes anti-malware but the dowload from Adobe should be trusted.

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 .

Exporting from iPhoto: "Not enough disk space to complete this operation"

Hello. I am trying to compile a quick time slide show. There are 72 photos with a total size of 136mb. I get the error "there is not enough disk space to complete this operation" when I try and Export it to my Desktop. Is there a limitation on size to export to Quicktime slide show? I have never noticed this problem before.
Thanks.

Greetings--I may have solved this one myself. I knew I had plenty of HD space (92GB) so that wasnt the problem as the error indicated, so:
1--'poofed' iPhoto icon from the Dock--(don't know what the exact description is, but I removed the iPhoto icon from the Dock and it disappeared in a cloud of poof!).
2--I ran Disc Utility and repaired the HD.
3-- I then did a Restart.
My Export to Quicktime seems to be working okay at the moment with no more error
message so maybe the HD just needed straightening up. If you dont hear from me on here again, consider the problem solved.
Cheers.

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?

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?

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?
R

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.

Application cannot start because it cannot create needed files. Not enough disk space

Hi,
I have adobe director 11.5 and Macromedia MX 2004 versions installed in my machine. The projector created from the MX 2004 version used to work properly even after the 11.5 upgrade. I recently got the error "Application cannot start because it cannot create needed files. Not enough disk space", whenever I run the projector. Has anyone come across this issue before?
Thanks,
Nandhini

Where is the projector located? Do you have read/write permissions in that folder? This is a problem I have seen if I am running a projector on a network share where the projector will not be allowed to save files (temp files etc) in that folder. Even if you don;t think it needs to save these files, it will come up with this error. Try copying the file to your local machine and see if it works better. If you are already running it on your local machine, and in a "safe" location within your user folder, then this is not the answer you are looking for and something else is going wrong.
