Not enough room in TM??

I had to replace my internal HD and do a backup from Time Machine.
Seems to have worked. yay!
However, I got a larger internal HD (was 750 and now 1TB).
The external HD where TM is located is 1TB that I partitioned with my old backup as well as TM.
TM now says it no longer has room.
Does this have anything to do with new HD size, or just that maybe I went over?
I have another 1TB external.
Should I just use that or will that be too small as well?
Thanks!
Also, if I use a new external for my TM backups, would I be able to delete/erase the old externals TM partition to use as regular file storage?

Dear Kappy,
I read your response to the posting about Time Machine wanting to start the backup process all over, backup the user's entire hard drive again, and I was both interested and disturbed by your response. I have a similar problem because the video card on my iMac had to be replaced. Now Time Machine wants to back up from the beginning again.
You say that's "normal behavior" and recommend erasing the backup drive. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a backup drive? Isn't there a way to preserve the previous backups and persuade Time Machine to recognize them and continue with its incremental backups?
I hope so.

  • Import error "not enough room on "drive" to copy..."

    Hello.
    I have a built 2.8ghz dual xeon workstation that has a 640gb system drive and a 3.8tb (raid 5) storage drive and am unable to add any more songs/moves/music with out always getting an error of not enough room on 'drive' to copy all of the requested files.
    right now the storage drive only has 1.2tb used(all itunes in a single library) i don't think its a item limit in itunes, because it will allow me to add new items as long as i don't allow itunes to move/copy/organize the items.
    I know the drive is not full because i can still add files to it via windows.
    any help would be appreciated, yes i searched and did not find anything that helped. please let me know if you need any more information.

    I encountered the same problem today. Reading other threads I saw where a person identified the bug. I will file today as well.
    I purchased an album from iTunes - I don't recall what they call the product - LP view perhaps? It is the one with the liner notes and such. Anyway some of the the files in this folder have a .itlp suffix. If I skip this album the rest moves fine.
    So basically first run a find to locate any folder/album with the offending suffix. Then select your entire iTunes library. Then un-select the items associated with the offending album. Then right click and select consolidate. That should work.
    I did not do exactly this. Since I have a large library I selected 10-15,000 songs at a time and chose consolidate. This also works.

    I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad.  Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room.  Now trying to get some pictures and music on.  Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway.  Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?"  So I hit cancel.  Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

  • Keep getting 'not enough room' on ipod when trying to copy from iTunes.

    Hi,
    With 60G iPod connected to PC, and iTunes automatically set to sync, I keep on getting 'not enough room on 'users-j' to copy all the requested files - even though I have plenty of disk spaces on the ipod.
    I have tried the following:
    - reset the ipod
    - restore the ipod to factory setting and erase all previous songs
    - selected to use as disk
    - tried manually to copy and automatically to sync
    - updated ipod and also using iTunes 7.0.2.16
    Still get the same msg with all of the above. And not a song gets successfully copied over. I had previously 355 songs in the ipod (before restoring).
    Any suggestion/help is appreciated.
    Thx. Jack.

    Thanks for that, deleted some music, to get 3Gb, then it copied over fine.
    The amount left seems wrong though as now only have 0.2Gb free? It was this that was the issue though, as tried again on another movie and it copied across, just strange on the amount free, maybe time for my iPhone to be wiped clean to start again?
    cheers

  • I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2  I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?

    I had an important app. (Memos by bluemarblesoftware.com) that I accidentally deleted. It of course had many memos, some with quite a lot of information. I did sync my phone on a regular basis and I think the memos should be on the desktop computer. I tried to do a restore function but I got a message saying there was not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is needed?

    generally you need 1.90gb
    what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution.

    Pretty sure it doesn’t say there is not enough room in iTunes library because it is not backed up to the iTunes library.
    What is the exact message?

  • Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.

    Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.

    Nope. It just opened the installer and stayed in the same loop.
    It tells me to choose a startup disk but the only option is the HD which it will not use because it says it cannot gather enough information.
    Eveything was working fine until the mountain lion failed install.

    I am trying to sync an ipod touch 4TH gen.  The capacity bar at the bottom shows I am adding 22.29g with 6.5 g free.  Yet every time I try to sync it warns that there is not enough room an additional 868.9m is still needed.  Does the capacity bar tend to be wrong or am I missing something?

    Well when all else fails do a restore!  This fixed my problem.  Still don't know why the content bar differed, but what the hey!

  • I got the update for iOS 7 on iPad it said not enough room I made room then said failed now it won't offer update

    I can not update it was saying I could  but not enough room I made room tried to update said failed now says iOS 6.1.3 up to date and no iOS 7 being offered to update what do I do

    Do you have the latest version of iTunes installed? I Was able to get to the iOS update after installing the new iTunes, but I had to download it at http://www.apple.com/itunes/

  • I try to download an app and it tells me that there is not enough room when there is plenty

    An app that is 1.9 GB is saying that there is not enough room to download, even though i have around 3 GB free.

    The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
    You need to delete some files and not run with an almost full storage.

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • How do I export from IMovie when "not enough room in Heap Zone" error code appears?   How can I correct,  what to Do.."export movie" insteand of Media browser or IDVD?  Finalize movie?  I want to burn it to DVD!

    How do I export from IMovie to Wondershare Creator to Make DVD and share hour long movie when I am unable to "publish" movie on Media Browser of IDVD because the error code "not enough room in heap Zone/ " appears and function is aborted. 
    I shortened the movie, that is no cure...Correcting date info on clips does not pertain.  Why would Apple throw roadblocks in your way without solving problems they create?
    A techie made an appointment on the phone and was totally incapable of addressing the problem.
    What is a heap zone????

    Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
    If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
    Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
    Under the Video section click on Settings...
    Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

  • Processing in imovie, not enough room in heap zone error

    Hello, I am trying to process a 90 minute movie in imovie. I would like to process it in regular format and not high definition. Or if I have to process in high def, how do I create more space in my heap zone. The erroor message was processing in imovie, not enough room in heap zone error

    I've never set it up since I purchased the computer. Time Machine is off. I'm extremely frustrated. I've tried to export to every possible place and I've tried to share to every option.
