Not enough space on my disk, want to change iphoto to use external drive

I dont have enough space on my hard disk. I want to use an external drive to put all my pictures. Is there a way I can configure iphoto to use my new drive instead of the current location. How can we do this and what will be the best way to move my existing library to the new drive.

1. First make sure iPhoto is not running. If it is, quit it. Use the Finder to copy your iPhoto Library file to your external drive. Unless you've changed it, its located inside your Pictures folder and is named "iPhoto Library".
2. After the copy is complete, start iPhoto while simultaneously holding down the option key. iPhoto will bring up a dialog box. The file in the list is your existing Library on your internal disk. Click the "Other Library" button and navigate to your external drive. Select your freshly copied iPhoto Library file and click "Open". iPhoto will from now on open and work with this library on the external drive.
3. After you've confirmed iPhoto is working properly with the newly copied library you may wish to delete the original library in your Pictures folder to recover the disk space.
Don't forget to keep a backup copy of your library on a separate disk. It's not a matter of "if" your external drive will fail but "when". You need to make regular backups or you'll be sorry someday.

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.

DPM is out of disk space for the replica. (ID 58 Details: There is not enough space on the disk (0x80070070))

I constantly get these message on laptop backup, what actually does it mean?
DPM is out of disk space for the replica. (ID 58 Details: There is not enough space on the disk (0x80070070))
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.

An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: There is not enough space on the disk.

Hello all,
I execute a T-SQL query, which will retrieve large amount of data, however, I get an error message after a few seconde.
The error message is :
An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: There is not enough space on the disk.
Who can tell me the reason and waht's the steps to solve this issue ?
Really thanks.
Thanks, Jed deng

The other two posters suggested that the problem with tempdb or you data/log files. This is not the case here. The error message relates to the client-side of things. Apparently SSMS needs to store data on disk. I don't recall exactly when this happens,
but I seem to recall that the files appear in you %TEMP% directory.
I would suggest that your correct action is to clean up the disk. Not the least there may be a lot of junk in your %TEMP% and %TMP% directories.

Thanks Erland, I was not aware of this earlier. Now, I am able to find out one of the resons for slowness of SSMS gird. Also, I have just checked it with process monitor, SSMS is creating tmp%.tmp files..

Not enough space on the disk

hi all,
The DC gives "not enough space on the disk" error while building .
Any suggestions !
Regards,
MOhammad

hi
The DC gives "not enough space on the disk" error while building , this means
ask your BASIS consultant to remove the log files from the server node and then build the application
this would solve your problem , and your Basis consultant will be very well aware of this problem .
Thanks

Error: The Operation Could Not Be Completed. There Is Not Enough Space on The Disk

Hi folks,
I'm running Win7, CS5.
The specs for the situation are as follows.
Trying to Liquify a 419 mb (645 scan) .tif file. *Thing to note* Liquify loads slowly no matter what the file size, it seems to get caught while loading around the 7th block. However, about 5-8 actions in, the error occurs and I can go no further with liquify.
The computer.
OS and CS5, booting from my Crucial 128GB SSD with 33.9 gb free space.

A total overkill 2TB of Striped Raid Scratch disk space - I see the temp file does write here, and the drive is otherwise empty. All drives are NTFS formatted.
I'm usually running a bunch of other programs, at the very least, lightroom, and firefox/chrome.
The Raid is my sole scratch disk, and the requisite box in my performance tab is checked.
There are, admittedly, gaps in my computer knowlege. But this is more than enough computer to handle a file of that size.
Can someone enlighten me as to what may be going on?
Thank you so much,
Ron.

You could try this:
Assuming your scratch drive is D:...
1. Make a folder D:\TEMP. Make sure your username has Full Control privileges.
2. Edit your environment variables so that your TEMP and TMP environment variables both contain the string: D:\TEMP

I keep getting error message "not enough space on startup disk" on my macbook 10.6, even though I've deleted and compressed many files. Could something else be the problem?

Somehow 1500 web pages were downloaded into my iphone app! That's when the trouble began Now, I keep gettig error message"not enough room on your start up disc. "So I deleted most of theml, but when I compress/delete files, it doesn't help. Now i'm unable to back up to a disc, because I get a similar message about lack of room.. I can't download apple updates or printer updates. My computer is almost unusable. When I took it to the Apple store they had no idea what was wrong.
I bought an external hard drive-Free Agent Go Flex which doesn't seen to function, and has no user interface and apparently little tech support. My cursor is all over the place. No one at Apple seems to be able to fix this computer. Any suggestions for my next move?
Thank you.

"not enough space on out put media"

i have been using dvd studio pro and it worked flawlessly until now. i have been getting "not enough space on out put media" on the log. im using a 15" mbp and a recently acquired 20" imac. can anyone help me out?
thanks

It sounds as though you are trying to put too much video onto your DVDs.
If this is the case you will have to lower the bitrate at which it is encoded.

HT4946 cannot find itunes backup on my PC (win xp). want to move over to external hard drive to restore from backup bc PC not enough space

i just restored my ipad2 to iOS 6.1.3 yesterday. i have been trying to restore from backup, but i keep getting error messages from itunes (running latest version of itunes) that says there is not enough space to save the backup on the computer. i have tried clearing up as much space on my PC (windows xp), but there is still not enough room. and ive tried disk cleanup on my computer and resetting the ipad and running it through recovery mode (as some articles sugggested it would help with restoring after failed attempts). i read on another question in the apple support discussions that someone just moved his whole backup folder into his external harddrive and then he was able to restore from backup.
the backup is definitely saved on my computer (itunes confirms that), and the backup folder is supposed to be here \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\, but im still not finding it with that file path. i get as far as "username" and then i dont see "application data" and so on. but when i try searching that file path in google chrome, i find it and i see it, but its strange that i cant find it in the "docs and settings" folder in my C drive.
please help! i just want to be able to move the backup folder to my external to restore from backup. thank you in advance!!

Thank you! I was able to find it. Im sorry, i have a few follow up questions. Does the iTunes have to be running from my external as well to do the restore from backup? And if so, how do I move iTunes to external and run it from there? Also, I just copied over the "backup" folder (last part of that file path to my external, is that enough, or did I have to copy it starting from the beginning (docs and settings and so forth)? Lastly, when I select restore from backup in iTunes, would it automatically know that it's the copy on my external to restore backup from? Or do I have to delete or do something with the original file path in my computer?
Thank you!

• To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
• To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to.
The disk space is 30 GB free, I have cleared all the temp files, increased the virtual memory & internet temp files size to max but no luck

You want to use this one here - MMC
comexp.msc /32
THAT will launch the MMC process
as 32 bit then you'll the Microsoft Excel Application.
Right Click -> Properties.
What I did at this point was to select the Identity tab and then select "The Interactive User" (the default was "The launching user"). My app pool was already running as "LocalSystem". I believe by running it as the Interactive User now that it
has the right permissions to save workbooks.
Everything worked after this.
This was a tough one!

Not enough space on disk error when I have enough space on disk

I'm trying to export a video to my external hard drive, which has plent of space. About halfway through the export, Premiere gives me a "not enough space on disk" error. My startup drive is getting pretty full, but still has a bit of memory and I'm not sure why I would need space there if the render is going the external.
Thanks for any help!

Macs can read NTFS volumes.
Maybe, but they can't write to them out of the box. And since external drives generally come empty, it's a pretty safe bet that the purchaser will want to write files to it. So, a lot of drive makers format as FAT32.
exFAT is a better file system than FAT32, especially for solid state media like P2 and SD cards. Using exFAT on those cards would allow large files (long continuous shots) and keep compatibility with Macs. Now, if only camera makers would issue firmware updates to allows exFAT formatted media...

I tried to import a video into iMovie. Its says their is not enough space on the destination disk. I deleted many projects, and events. Nothing changed. What files do I delete and how?

Hard drive full or near full:
You are going to have to delete, move or archive your data to regain hard drive space.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon and empty the Trash.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
You may have to Purchase an external FireWire or Thunderbolt hard drive to move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

I have backed up my ipad to my laptop prior to updating to the latest IOS and now I want to restore the backup back onto the ipad but it says there is not enough space? I have tried unticking all apps i no longer need, music etc but this still doesnt work

I have updated up my ipad2 which had the original version on it (4.??) to the latest version of IOS. Before I did this I backed up the ipad to my laptop so I wouldnt lose precious pics and videos of my baby boy. Now that the latest version is on the ipad it is now asking me if I want to start as a new ipad or restore my backup from itunes. So i select restore my backup from itunes and connect to itunes but it now says there is not enough space to do so. I have a feeling it is because there are alot of pics on our ipad which i presume are all in this backup, many of which we do not need on the ipad anymore but I have no idea on how I go about deleting these pics?? And how do I find where on my laptop this backup is and most importantly the video and pics of my baby boy.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.
