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

  • Why Am I Getting The "Insufficient Space On Device" Message When There's More Than Enough Space?

    I have the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE (ICS/4.0). It has 3.63 GB phone storage remaining, and the sd card has 7.35 GB remaining. Forget the sd card. How can my phone, or any phone for that matter, get the error message of "insufficient space on device" when there's more than enough space on the device? Thank you in advance.

    Turn off your phone.
    Hold power - and volume up I believe  It might be down.
    From there you can select recovery and then hold vilume up and tap power to open the menu.
    There should be an option there to clear system cache.

  • "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!

  • The i tune music library cannot be saved because there isn't enough memory available. (but there is more than enough)

    Hi
    I'm re creating my library and a window keep appearing saying that " my music library cannot be saved because there isn't enough memory available". There more than enough memory for what I 'm doing and I don't know what to do.
    Please some help
    thank you !!

    For resolving your issue, you are able to do as the followings :
     1.Close  any SkyDrive related process
     2.Open  a command prompt (not PowerShell), and change to the directory where Microsoft Office 2013 is installed by typing the command below:
     cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\
     3.Then type “groove.exe /clean /all” to clear all SkyDrive Pro cache and settings, setting it back to default again
    Here is a similar post for your reference:

    If the issue still exists after doing the above steps, actually we have a dedicated support team regarding this kind of issue. I recommend you post a new thread in another forum where is staffed by many experts focusing on the Microsoft SkyDrive Pro client
    issue.

  • Not enough free space when there is - iTunes says I have over 9GB free but when I sync it says I can't as i don't have enough storage and need another 1.3GB!  it's driving me mad!!  help!!

    iTunes says I have over 9GB free but when I sync it says I can't as i don't have enough storage and need another 1.3GB!  it's driving me mad!!  help!!

    Check carefully. Perhaps you are trying to copy 9 GB plus 1.3 GB for a total of 10.3 GB. That would give you the message you see.

  • Photoshop Installer Error "Insufficient Disk Space" but I have more than enough.

    I am trying to download the Photoshop CS6 trial. My computer has 2 hard drives, one is full but the other has plenty of space.

Photoshop tells me I require 1 Gb, I have 600+ Gb, I don't know why it's giving me this proiblem. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've reinstall the Download Assistant several times, I was sure to assign it to the correct hard drive. Same for installing Photoshop. What else can I do to try and solve this problem?

  • 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

    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.

  • IPod not synching as "there is not enough free space" (but there is)

    I have a 64Gb iPod touch which I have been having problems with since I bought it.  The problem I am going to decribe has happened three times.
    To the best of my memory, this is what has happened.
    Starting with a newly purchased  iPod I synched it with my existing library.  This worked and I was able to play songs on the iPod with no problems.  The iPod still had around 8Gb left unused. A few days later I imported a few (maybe 3 or 4)  new CDs into my iTunes library and hit Sync.  The Sync process got as far as step 5 of 5 and hung, I left it for a good hour and it got no further.  I think I may have switched everything off and on again and then retried, this time I got a dialog box saying that the iPod cannot be synched because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library (additional 40Gb required).
    Looking on the iPod I could see the full track listing for all my albums, but everything now had a red circle with a dot inside, and was un-playable.  It's as if the songs were all still on the iPod (taking up disk space) but the index had somehow lost track of them (or something).
    The only thing I could think of was to reset and restore the device, I also deleted and re-created the iTues library and started again, re-importing everything. Again, this worked fine until I later on inported a new CD to the library and tried to re-sync, whereupon exactly the same thing happened.
    I have not been able to find any support questions with quite the same problem I am having - has anyone encountered anything similar and have a solution?

    It does have a red circle inside, but I am on Windows 7 and have not upgraded anything.
    My problem looks similar to this one Re: iTunes library disappeared, re-added all my songs now iPod doesn't have enough free space to sync.
    I can solve it by a compete restore and resync but when I try to add something and sync again I get the same problem and it seems like the only think to be done is to restore everything again, which clearly I can't do every time I add a new CD!

  • Joining 2 related records using PL SQL in Apex - Problems when there are more than 2 related records?

    Hi
    I am combining 2 related records of legacy data together that make up a marriage record.  I am doing this in APEX using a before header process using the following code below which works well when there are only 2 related records which joins the bride and groom record together on screen in apex.  I have appended a field called principle which is set to 'Y' for the groom and 'N' for the bride to this legacy data
    However there are lots of records where in some instances there are 3, 4 , 5, 6 or even 1 record which causes the PL/SQL in APEX to not return the correct data.  The difference in these related columns is that the name of the bride or groom could be different but it is the same person, its just that from the old system if a person had another name or was formally known as they would create another duplicate record for the marriage with the different name, but the book and entry number is the same as this is unique for each couple who get married.
    How can I adapt the script below so that if there are more than 2 records that match the entry and book values then it will display a message or is there a better possible work around?  Cleaning the data would be not an option as there are thousands of rows of where these occurrences occur
    declare 
         cursor c_mar_principle(b_entry in number, b_book in varchar2) 
         is 
              select DISTINCT  id, forename, surname, marriagedate, entry, book,  formername, principle
              from   MARRIAGES mar 
              where  mar.entry   = b_entry
              and    mar.book = b_book
              order by principle desc, id asc; 
         rec c_mar_principle%rowtype;
    begin 
    open c_mar_principle(:p16_entry,:p16_book)  ;
    fetch c_mar_principle into rec;
    :P16_SURNAME_GROOM   := rec.surname; 
    :P16_FORNAME_GROOM   := rec.forename;
                   :P16_ENTRY := rec.entry; 
                   :P16_BOOK :=rec.book;
    :P16_FORMERNAME :=rec.formername;
    :P16_MARRIAGEDATE :=rec.marriagedate;
    :P16_GROOMID  := rec.id;
    fetch c_mar_principle into rec;
    :P16_SURNAME_BRIDE   := rec.surname; 
    :P16_FORNAME_BRIDE   := rec.forename;
                   :P16_ENTRY := rec.entry; 
                   :P16_BOOK :=rec.book;
    :P16_FORMERNAME :=rec.formername;
    :P16_MARRIAGEDATE :=rec.marriagedate;
    :P16_BRIDEID  := rec.id;
    close c_mar_principle;
    end;

    True but that answer is not really helping this situation either?
    It's indisputably true, which is more than can be said for the results of querying this data.
    The data is from an old legacy flat file database that has been exported into a relational database.
    It should have been normalized at the time it was imported.
    Without having to redesign the data model what options do I have in changing the PL/SQL to cater for multiple occurances
    In my professional opinion, none. The actual problem is the data model, so that's what should be changed.

  • Importing From Excel file will not import assignments correctly where there are more than one assignment per task

    I am trying to import an excel file ... see below.   It appears if you select both Tasks and Assignments tables it will not allow you to do this, says file is not in a project recognized format.  So I import Tasks tab first then run the
    wizard again and import the assignments tab while selecting merge with project option.   This works with one exception:
    If there are more than one assignment per task.  It does not merge in the 2nd assignment, only the first.
    Is there a way to import a task with 2 or more assignments?
    Background
    To figure out what the format for the file needed to be, I started with a MPP file and from project saved as Excel and selected the "Project Template" file.  Now I am trying to import that XLS to see how it works

    Andrew,
    I did a quick test using your example although I didn't include the Predecessor or Outline Level fields to keep things a little simpler. I imported the Excel data into a new Project file with a single import of task and assignment data. It is very important
    to set up the Excel Workbook correctly. On Sheet 1 I entered the task data (Name, Duration, Start). I did not include the ID or finish date as that is redundant - Project generates its own ID and will calculate the finish date based on the start date and duration.
    On Sheet 2 I entered the assignment data basically just as you show it except I didn't include the Units.
    The data imported as expected.

  • "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.

  • Taskbar previews are not shown when there are more than 20 tabs across all Firefox windows unless tabs are in groups.

    System details: Windows 8.1, Firefox 34.0.5.
    Until today, I have not used the Tab Groups function. Today I just used it in troubleshooting this issue.
    I noticed that when I have lots of Firefox windows open, I can't see taskbar previews for all the open tabs. The taskbar previews only show the active tab for any specific Firefox window. After some investigation I found that if I have 20 or fewer tabs open (in one Firefox window or across multiple Firefox windows) I can see taskbar previews for all the tabs. More than 20 tabs and the taskbar previews change to show only the active tab for each Firefox window.
    After a little more investigation I found that I can see more than 20 taskbar tab previews if I use the Tab Groups function. I don't need to actually organize my tabs into groups, just to invoke the Tab Group function in each window. Trouble is, the tab groups do not survive after closing Firefox. I think this is probably because of an extension I use called Session Manager. Since I am not ready to give up the extension, I wonder if I can change the taskbar preview behavior to show more than 20 tab previews in the taskbar without using the tab groups function.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I am not entirely sure, but this menu should change that preview in your OS:
    Control Panel > Taskbar > Taskbar Properties > Jump Lists change the number from 10 to the number of tabs
    If it doesn't please see Windows support for help.
