Not enough space on HD to set up Photos

I keep trying to set up Photos and after 5 or 6 hours, I get a message that says there is not enough space on my HD to complete the setup.
I thought that Photos did not need massive amounts of HD space to set up?
I have about 128 Gb of space on my HD and Photos is saying it needs an additional 108 Gb to complete the operation.

I have the same issue.
If I turn on iCloud Library - then I assumed the original photos would be uploaded and my full library would be kept on my Mac. However, a message says that I only have enough space to keep an optimised library on my Mac. So if it is uploading, is it then deleting photos from my Mac at the same time? And then does this mean I only have low resolution photos on my Mac until I download them? It's a bit confusing.

Kstat_open sets errno to "Not enough space"

I wrote the following test program:
<pre>
int main()
kstat_ctl_t * kc;
perror("1");
kc = kstat_open();
perror("2");
if (!kc) printf("kstat_open failed\n");
</pre>
and got the following output:
1: Error 0
2: Not enough space
Reason I wrote the test was that in another program, I was calling kstat_open() and it was returning NULL with this error, and I wanted to know why. Seems the error is misleading. Any suggestions as to how else I might diagnose my problem, please?

Here are some general rules for error numbers:
<UL>
* For functions in section 2 of the manual, they return success OR they return failure and set errno. You should not check errno after a successful system call. These functions will clearly say in their man page that they set errno and what values it might get.
* For functions in section 3 of the manual, they just return success or failure. In either case, they may or may not change errno. The fact that errno did or did not change tells you nothing about whether they succeeded or why they failed. The man pages for these functions do not show error numbers, so you should not check errno or use perror.
</UL>
Your test shows that kstat_open can set errno to ENOMEM even when the open succeeds. This happens when kstat works to figure out how much buffer space it needs, and it is expected behavior.
When can kstat_open fail? It will fail if
* the open of /dev/kstat fails
* an ioctl(KSTAT_IOC_CHAIN_ID or KSTAT_IOC_READ) fails
* a call to calloc fails
If you use the truss command, you will get a change to see what system calls libkstat is doing. This might help shed some light on the problem.

My Lacie external hard drive will not back up on Time Machine. Says there's not enough space. This has happened with every single external I've purchased. Thought TM was supposed to delete old backups??

My Lacie External backed up on Time Machine after the first back up but now says there's not enough room. I thought TM deleted old back ups to save new versions. What am I doing wrong. This happens to me constantly. Every single external hard drive I've purchased for the MacBook Pro (5 of them) has not worked either initially or at the second back up. It either isn't formatted properly so I have to go to Genius bar to help me set up for the first back up, or after the first back up, it says there's not enough space and I have to go back to Genius Bar. Is there a way I can fix this on my own?

I just purchased 2 external hardrives. a LaCie Minimus and a G Drive. Each 1 TB. The guy at Apple told me that would provide 2 good TM backups for me. My internal HD has 750 GB capacity, of which I'm using 700 GB. Perhaps the ratio is not great enough. I do wish they would have told me this before I purchased the two Bummmmer! I even had them format and get the first back-ups going because of issues I've had in the past. I also just bought a 750 GB for photos.
So, I won't be able to buy another bigger external since I've just purchased 3. Ugh. Well, I'll just exclude some files and divide things up. Eventually, I just want my 20,000 iphotos on one of the 1TB externals, and a TM back-up on another so that iphoto will function once more. It really hates how many photos I have and is brutally punishing me for it.I seriously need to do some housecleaning!
Thanks for the advice. Just moved from US to Australia last week and was hoping to upload a few photos and the domino effect has lead me to this. Just went to Genius Bar in Perth today and they told me how to reformat drive to transfer iphoto library over, but I got stuck at trying to back-up my TM.

Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted.

After accepting update to my time capsule, I can no longer complete a backup because there is not enough space. I tried deleting old files, but it doesn't seem to work. Any advice:

My time capsule was updated through an apple download update on June 16, and now I cannot back up my computer. The message is that there is not enough space. I tried deleting my files, but it didn't help. any suggestions?

How much space is there according to airport utility?
TM can be fussy.. Do a factory reset of the TC and give it a new name. Use short, no space and pure alphanumeric type names..
And reset TM. See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Then set up TM again to the TC and see if TM will start .. the reset will not hurt the backup and TM can still find it on a renamed TC.

Write: 0xecf6eb0, 4096: There is not enough space on the disk.

Our applications occasionally get the error in the function specified by set_errcall: "[prefix] write: 0xecf6eb0, 4096: There is not enough space on the disk. " Preceded by "DB00.db: write failed for page"
There most certainly is enough space on disk for one. In this most recent case, the Db::put's succeeded for a full hour before finally failing with an out of space error. At which point, I now have 30 log files and my own log files are filled with Berkeley error callbacks.
How come the set_errcall doesn't return an integer error code? If it did, we would be able to analyze that and decide any action to take. In this example, I might consider closing down all handles and checkpointing then removing logs since maybe the number of logs has gotten to large. Analyzing a string doesn't make sense since that might change with Berkeley versions.
Anyway, can anyone give any advice as to why we would get an out of space error (with plenty of disk space.) And also how to handle such an error.

The platform is C++ API version 4.7.25 running on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2. The database is on an NTFS disk. We have tested database files up to 20GB in size. The following is my config.

                                   0);
We also checkpoint every 2 to 5 minutes with a 5MB threshold. We also explicitly call pDbEnvironment->log_archive(kpNil, DB_ARCH_REMOVE) after checkpointing.
Primary and (up to 4) secondary databases are opened with DB_CREATE | DB_AUTO_COMMIT flags.
I'd also appreciate any suggestions as to how to lower the memory footprint used by Berkeley. Ever since we've integrated this DB, our memory usage has been too large and inconsistent. There are 6 independent environments the product uses during runtime. Each of these environments have a primary database and (up to 4) secondary databases, which are all opened with DB_CREATE | DB_AUTO_COMMIT flags.
Just recently we have added a memp_trickle every 5 seconds at 40% (Anything lower and it has no affect in the environment, in other words, db_stat shows dirty pages forced from the cached instead of trickled.) We are trying to reproduce this issue at this point.

Not Enough Space in iTunes Library

I just managed to restore my iPod Mini.. updated it's software etc.
I keep getting this error box everytime I wanna sync all of my playlist/smartplaylist...
"The iPod "iPod" cannot be updated because there is not enough space to hold all the items in the iTunes Library. Would you like iTunes to choose a selection of songs to sync with this iPod"
Now...
1. I have more than enough space in my drive... so I don't know what's this message about..
2. I don't need iTunes to choose a selection of songs...cos I wanna do it myself...
Any idea how to get around this problem???
Thanks..

1. I have more than enough space in my drive... so I don't know what's this message about..
It's saying that your iTunes Library is too large to fit on your iPod. How large is your library? (iTunes will show the size at the bottom of the main Library window if you click on the main library icon at the left of iTunes)
2. I don't need iTunes to choose a selection of songs...cos I wanna do it myself...
Set iTunes to manual management of your iPod.

Can't download itune movie, not enough space 6gig available?

Can anyone help, I have approx 6 gig of space available, but I cannot download a movie I purchased from iTunes, I get the message not enough space available, use settings to manage?

Both are true.
Your have lost of iCloud space.
The problem is you need space on the iPhone.

See what is taking up space on the iPhone.
Delete what you don't need.

Error for 'not enough space' when downloading a video. I can see that it's music but I'm deleting songs out of my itunes and it's not helping with the space.

I'm trying to download vide'os to my iPad but I'm getting an error that there is 'not enough space'. When I look at my space, it's mostly music. I've deleted out albums from my itunes but it has not freed up any space. How do I delete these albums?

Music takes up very little space, movies use a lot of space.
Settings, music
Setting, usage
Both these area will give you info but if the movies are bigger then these areas allow, you may not have enough room even with removing all the music.
How big are these movies and how many?

Can't build packages not enough space [Solved]

I'm trying to compile latest -ck kernel but after it gets built I get an error saying: there is not enough space to build package.
I remember that last time I was compiling the kernel, I've set-up so that /tmp is loaded in memory or something like that..
And now when I try to compile the kernel, even though I choose menuconfig I still don't get in ti, to turn it off or even check what it was.
My /tmp just have 1,3GB free space left, so that could be it, but I doubt it...

That's what happens, but I think it is problem with root, as when this happens there's only 9,7MB free space left.
I guess I have either remove unneeded packages or make root bigger...

Trying to upgrade to newest version of iPad software but not enough space on hard drive to backup the iPad. It is saying if I continue all content on iPad will be deleted! Can I get it back after uprade by just synching with itunes?

Trying to upgrade iPad software to newest version. It downloads but stops while backing up and says not enough space on hard drive to back up if i continue all media on iPad will be lostor deleted. Can I get it back after upgrade by just synching or can I set it to backup to an external drive? Thanks for any help. I only use the laptop for itunes now as it has such little space left.

I would recommend deleting contents off your hard-drive to make space (how much is left..you should be having 15% free as a general practice) and backing up the phone prior to upgrading.

I set automatic growth on protection group and there is plenty space.

Auto-grow Key Points
1.) Auto-grow needs to be enabled for the datasource.
2.) We grow the replica/recovery point volume by 10gigs or by 25% whichever is higher.
3.) To prevent race conditions, we do not grow within 15 minutes of the last growth.

Not enough space on temporary disk error

Error Executing Database Query.[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC
Driver][ODBC
Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Not enough
space on temporary
disk. I am running CF MX 7 on Win2k3.
The only fix so far is to restart all the CF processes and
flush the Caching in Server settings in CFMX 7. Anyone have an idea
what is wrong?
Here is the error on all my webpages that execute a database
query.
[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC
Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Not enough space
on temporary disk.

I totally understand your wish to get to the bottom of this!
There are a lot of factors that can be contributing to the problem
- the query itself, the number of users hitting the query, and the
tmp files internal to Access.
Make sure your query isn't returning very large recordsets
(e.g. all sales for all salespersons for all year.....). Even a
query with a moderate recordset return , hit by a large number of
users, can cause this sort of problem.
If you must use Access in production (which is NOT
recommended) your datasource settings should include:
Maintain connections across client requests be unchecked.
Limit Connections be checked and Restrict connections to be
set to 1
These settings should help prevent performance issues.

Java.io.IOException: Not enough space at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map0(Na

Hi
I am getting this error
java.io.IOException: Not enough space
at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map0(Native Method)
at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map(FileChannelImpl.java:728)
I ahve a shell script which spawn three jvms
Two jvms have XMX=12288M
and the third XMX=10240M
Basically each jvm has around 12 threads to read in xml files and process them.
The HP machine has around 70 GB RAM.
So, in total the java uses around 36 GB only but still it crashes.
I then change the xml files so that the third jvm does not read any files
but it is just spawned for the sake of it.
Even then it crashes with the same error.
Any idea what can be done to fix this.
Thanks

i have OSF DCE 1.1/HP DCE 1.8I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that.
Other than the comments I posted above,
perhaps ask on HP user groups to find tips
on increasing the available memory?
Oh, another thing: when you issue "java -Xmx", you are specifying
the desired amount of memory. But in UNIX, there is a per-user upperlimit.
Try typing "ulimit -a" on a command line, and it will
tell you a hard limit that was configured by the machine's administrator.
Eg. I have 4G on my machine, but by default, my user account
is limited to 512M per process (and no matter what I type in Xmx,
my java process cannot exceed the hard limit set by my
administrator)
% ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) 524288
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 11095
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1
stack size (kbytes, -s) 65536
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 5547
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited

Not Enough Space on Output Media Issue

Hi guys, we are having a problem with a DVD we put together in FCP, compressed via compressor and are trying to burn in DVDSP. The program is under 2 hours and the 120minute mpeg2 setting was used. The audio was converted to ac3 as well. The file sizes for the two files are 2.88gigs and 990megs respectively. When brought into DVDSP4, the space meter(which we all know is horrible accurate) reads properly as around 3.6 gigs. But when trying to burn to a DVD-5 disc it says there is not enough space on the output media.
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks!

not sure why DVDSP would give you this trouble. You might need to import to a new project to reset the disc meter. Try just doign the build and see if the size of the video_ts folder is correct.
If not, check to make sure you are not burning to a CD instead of a DVD, stranger things have happened.
