NOT enough SPACE ON NANO??

Not enough space error on ipad since installing itunes 11

hi
i installed the new version of iTunes (V11) tonight but since then have been unable to sync new video files to my ipad.
The ipad has 8.61 GB free and I'm trying to add 8 x 235mb files to the device but each time it gets to Step 5 (determining tracks to sync) and freezes for a while before I get the error message that it cannot be synched as there's not enough space on the device to hold all the items in the itunes library which requires another 14.59 GB.
I've not got any music on the ipad and the status bar on the summary screen is telling me I've loads of free space. Could this related to the new itunes installed today?
thanks

Computers will read a 2GB iPod Nano as having approximately 1.8 GB. (This is because hard drive manufacturers measure gigabytes in a decimal system, and computer OS's, Mac and Windows alike, read gigabytes in a binary system). You'll want to make sure your playlist is definitely smaller than this. If it is, and you still think you're having a problem, you can try restoring the iPod:

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.

I changed my LCD last day and now i noticed all my pictures on my phone are gone. I tried to restore the back that I got yesterday but it wont let me because its telling me there is not enough space on my phone!!!

I changed my LCD last day and now i noticed all my pictures on my phone are gone. I tried to restore the back that I got yesterday but it wont let me because its telling me there is not enough space on my phone!!! That's wierd because I didn't download any app or anything else since my last backup and on the other hand about 3000 pictures are gone, how come there is not enough space left! I also check my usage on my phone and it shows that i have about 7.0 GB pictures!!! BUT my photos is empty! I want my picture back on my phone any solution anyone?

Thanks for your reply!
I just called the guy who changed my LCD and asked him what happend, he said there were no pictures on your phone when you gave it to me! i know he is lying tho!
My apple warranty is over and I have to pay them to get some help over the phone!

TS3212 I just purchased a new iphone 4s and I am trying to load some music from my itues. I am getting a message that says not enough space. I checked my phone and it shows i have 5.1G available. do you know how to fix this problem?

I just purchased a new iphone 4S and I'm trying to loan some music from itunes. I keep getting a message that says not enough space on my phone. I checked my phone and I have 5.1G available. I deselected all the songs on my itunes to try and get it to sync and I keep getting the same message. Any tips?

Hey csumner1,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a "Not enough free space" alert when attempting to sync your new iPhone 4s. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Resolution
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
1. Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
2. Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
3. Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
4. Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
          - If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
5. Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
          - Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
          - Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
          - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
          - Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
6. Restore using iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Supposedly there's not enough space

My iPod wont let me download apps because "there's not enough space" but there is

To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size.
If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.
Does the app/iPod meet this?

I have 'not enough space' cursed Pages; even though I have plenty of room it refuses to let me download and install it.

Common problem, except all trouble shooting leads to the suicide of the question asker because it yields only claims that no matter what you say, you need to make MORE space. It's a 30 meg file, I have 500 meg free. I have deleted and redownloaded and rebooted about thirty times, in various combinations.
Previously I have cursed many apps this way, always free apps, so I just accepted they were 'dead' to my phone, even after iOS updates and ever since the iPhone 3 this problem has existed (ie: if you didn't have enough space when you START downloading the first time, kiss that app goodbye for life, it just WILL NOT download EVER.) and will either sit at 'Waiting' for a while then claim there's not enough space, or just sit at 'Waiting' indefinitely and progress no further.
The only thing I haven't tried is formatting the entire thing as a fresh phone and retrying, but that's pretty extreme. Has Apple acknowledged this bugs existance yet? Every support thread I see gets replies of "Make more space." no matter what the asker states and eventually the guy just stops coming back and asking, so they're all pretty much unresolved.
Just for the record, I have extensive experience with technology, and am not mentally disabled, so please feel free to talk to me at the level at which your inner voice talks to you, I assure you I will get it. So, can has halp plz? 8(
(PS: I cannot update to the lates iOS 7 as I do not have the insane size required for it to decompress and install, etc, and to do so would require deleting things I cannot lose or having to back it all up manually because there's no convenient way to do it otherwise. Although I can assure you that this problem has been present since the iPhone 3 first came out which was my first iPhone and has been present in every iOS update since, so I have no reason to believe out of the dozens of updates that iOS 7 has addressed this.)

When you don't have enough storage to perform an operation, then you don't have enough storage. have you got the 16GB iphone?

I get error message: not enough space to download when I try to buy a tv series on Itunes. It tells me to delete photos or videos to make space, but I have no photos and videos. Help?

I get error message: not enough space to download when I try to buy a tv series on Itunes. It tells me to delete photos or videos to make space, but I have no photos and videos. Help?

I would guess that a TV series takes up a fair amount of storage capacity. It is just a standard message I think that may indicate that you are actually running low on storage space.
If you go to Settings>General>About how many GBs are specified as being available? If you are low on space maybe deleting some apps may help.

Trying to build a DVD image, DVDSP4 says not enough space

I have many years' experience using DVD Studio Pro 4, so this hopefully is not a stupid question.
I'm using an iMac with 80gb free and an external HDD with 12gb free. I have authored a DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4. The project says it's 4.6gb.
I need to make a disc image file of the DVD so I can burn it to DVD media using another computer. When I do this, it encodes for hours and then says "Formating Failed. Not enough space of the output media" (I might be paraphrasing.)
The only possiblt output medias, the iMac and the external drive, both have plenty of space, and the project is under the limit. So what gives?

Let me try this again, because I think we're not communicating.
I have authored a DVD Studio 4 project with menus and assets, etc. It simulates just fine. The tab on the top of the DVDSP screen indicates my project is 4.6gb. This means I should have no problem turning this project into a DVD. The computer I'm working on has no DVD burning capabilities so I want to create a disc image of the project instead of burning a DVD. I have done this before, where DVDSP encodes and builds a file that I can then use Disk Utility to burn to a DVD. So, once I have my disk image, I will transfer that file to another computer, and use Disk Utility on that second computer to burn the DVD from the disk image.
NOW
The problem I'm having is that DVDSP is not able to make the disk image. When I go to "Build/Format", it should make a disk image, but instead, I get an error saying there is not enough space on the output device. The "output device" in this case is my external Hard drive which has plenty of space. That is why I am asking for help.

Timeline won't back up (not enough space)

Timeline won't back up because it says there is not enough space on my external drive. This never happened before.
I have 10.6.8. I just restored my new hard drive from Timeline. It was an easy restoration. The first time I
backed up on Timeline, it said there was not enough space. I do have my external drive partitioned. I thought old backups
were deleted when the space was needed. What happened? Thank You

I thought timeline deleted old backups on it's own so you would not run out of space. Did I misunderstand this? Is it just a coincidence that this occcured the very first time I tried to back up after I restored my hard drive from the external drive, through Timeline?

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.

"Not enough space" - on DB.open

Hello,
My application is using BDB 3.3.1.
I’m running with the following Parameters:
m_dbEnv.set_cachesize(0, 536870912, 0);
m_dbEnv.set_verbose(Db.DB_VERB_CHKPOINT, true);
m_dbEnv.set_verbose(Db.DB_VERB_RECOVERY, true);
m_dbEnv.set_verbose(Db.DB_VERB_DEADLOCK, true);

m_dbEnv.set_lk_max(1000000);
m_dbEnv.set_tx_max(70);
m_dbEnv.set_lg_regionmax(204800);
But despite of the relatively large numbers of lockers and transactions, I’m getting :
com.sleepycat.db.DbException: Not enough space: Not enough space
On: com.sleepycat.db.Db._open(Native Method)
I want to know from lack of what resource the “Not enough space” is thrown?
Is it because of cachesize/ lockers/ locks/ lockObjects or may be something else.
Some statistics: when the error happened the whole BDB size was 5284880 bytes
While I’m running now with 5546186 bytes and no error occur.
Please advice what can be done to find the problem?
If it seems like a memory leak – please advice, on how it can be found.
Thank you in Advance

Hi,
The "Not enough space" error is corresponding to ENOMEM - 12, that's described here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/db_faq.html#8
This error indicates that some resource has been exhausted. There are several ways to find out what is causing this error:
1) Configure the Berkeley DB error stream, which can be done like this:
dbenv->set_errfile(dbenv, stderr);
If you don't have a database environment handle, you can call this on the database handle:
db->set_errfile(db, stderr);
With this, you should see a message explaining what resource has been exhausted.
2) Run the db_stat utility:
db_stat -e -h /path/to/databases
Usually you can solve the problem by configuring the lock limits ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/lock/max.html ) -- they are often what runs out, or the cache size ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/am_conf/cachesize.html ).

Transferring lots of small files to a USB - not enough space when there is!

I regularly transfer about 200-250 files (photos of about 1.2MB each) to a USB (size 2GB). I really want to just "Select All" then drag them onto the USB, but if I do this, I get the error message that there is not enough space. I end up having to select about 40 files at a time and drag each group, wait for them to transfer, then drag the next group. This turns a 2 second job into a 3-5 minute job. On of my iMacs has just started allowing me to do even less - only about 10 at a time, turning this job into a 10-15 minute job. I have discussed this with my USB provider, his only suggestion is I use a Windows computer, as he specifically tests the USBs he sends me for this error, and he does not have a problem with several different Windows computers! I usually import the photos with iPhoto then drag in, but it doesn't seem to matter if I take them straight off the SD card, I get the same error no matter which system I use. Please help! I sometimes need to do this 40 times in a day for 40 different customers.

I'm taking the photos OFF an SD card (straight from the camera) and need to get them ON to a USB drive. Taking the photos OFF the SD card is no problem. I either import to iPhoto, or drag them all into a file, no problem. It is getting them ON to the USB where there is the problem.
Thanks, hope this clarifies what I meant!

1.) How do I organized my photo album on my ipad? 2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad? 3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced p

1.) How do I organized my photo album on my ipad?
2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad?
3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer. It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all & start fresh.
4.) I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new & competed album. Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
5.) By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files & web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access. That is why I have so many photos. But I want to be able to separate & organized them by files, web screens, or topics. I also want to be able to delete & update as needed.
6.) If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space. Will this help the space issue? Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only & only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly. I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME! I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack & stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

I have a ipod touch and i got it for christmas with an iTunes card .the problem is that i downloaded videos and now it said that there is not enough space and i only downloaded 8 and now 5 don't download how do i erase them.can get my money back

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.

NOT enough SPACE ON NANO??
