Not enough space to create shadow copy Windows 8.1

I receive "There is not enough disk space to create the volume shadow copy on storage location." error on Lenovo IdeaPad when trying to create System mage Backup. When I check "Disk mgmt." console all volumes shown to have 100% free space.
Does anyone have a remedy for this problem?

It's kind of impossible for all volumes to have 100% free space if you're running Windows from one of them, eh?
But to get more space on a volume to make shadow copies do this (excerpted from my book). Note that this assumes you're using a Start menu replacement tool, but the same concepts apply when using the Start just substitute "Press
the Win key" for "Click Start".
Here's how to increase the depth of your System Restore history:
Click Start, type protection into the search box, and click
SystemPropertiesProtection.exe when it comes up.
Click on your C: drive in the Protection Settings
box to highlight it.
Click the [ Configure ] button.
Choose the ( ) Turn on system protection setting if it is not on.
Assuming you have sufficient disk space, increase the Max Usage slider
until you have allocated at least 20 GB of storage for System Restore settings. This will give you a nice, deep multi-week System Restore history if ever you should need it.

Warning: "not enough memory to create shadow map vertice"

Hi,
First of all I am not too technically minded and not a great expert at after effects so keep this in mind when answering
I will post as much info to give a comprehensive idea of my setup and issue.
What I am basically asking is if I have after effects setup correctly for the spec I am running to achieve maximum benefit and performance?
And Is this perhaps a project composition error?
I have an after effects project that fails about 2.5 hours into rendering with this warning:
Now just a bit of background. I had 4gb and have upgraded to 8gb. The reason I upgraded was due to this error however I still have same issue (to be honest I dont see any improvement with ram previews etc).
This is my current PC spec:
I have changed virtual memory to double the RAM which I believe is what is recommended?
Now this is what after effects looks like on start up: Should it not utalise the 8gb?
When rendering it also just says using 4gb also:
Here are my multi processing and memory settings:
I hope this is detailed enough for someone to troubleshoot and help me out.
Kind Regards,
jmcall10

CS4 is 32bit. It will never use more than 4GB. Basic computer math. Simply consider turning off MP rendering to free up more RAM for the primary render instance. Shadow map size defaults to "comp size", but of course you may be able to reduce it. Check the advanced comp settings. Beyond that simply render to an image sequence so you can resume from the point of the crash/ hang without losing all your rendered stuff, then assemble the iamges to a clip file in a second pass.

Hi
This problem may be related to IPC or XCM (if web related)
check the IPC Server setting
if XCM
http://hostname:port/shopname/admin/xcm/init.do
then go to "Application configurations --> customer --> your configurationname.
There you've a field "ipcdata"...and this should have the value "noipc"?
hope this helps

I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one. Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not enough space?

I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one. Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not there is not enough space for both files files? Do I need to do something to have it continue to update my old file instead of recreating a new one?

Depending on what version of OSX you're running, and how the data was transferred, you may be out of luck.
If you're running Lion, and your backups were made to a directly-connected external HD (ie, not a Time Capsule or other network location), you may be able to get Time Machine to "associate" the new disk with the old backups. See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, especially the pink box there.
If you're running Snow Leopard, you might be able to do a full system restore of your backups to the new HD. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for detailed instructions. That should leave a "trail" that Time Machine can follow to "associate" the new drive with the old backups. Unfortunately, that doesn't always work, and there's no way to do it manually, as there is with Lion.

Connecting to Samba server "cannot be copied ...there is not enough space"

I have a user running OS X 10.4.11 who suddenly can no longer connect to our departmental Samba server. To be more specific, he connects just fine - but when he connects, it tells him "zero KB available" and if he tries to copy a file (a very small file) to the server, it gives him the error message:
+the item cannot be copied because there is not enough space+
I know for a fact that the problem is NOT a problem with the server nor userid because:
* the server has 7.5 TB of space available
* I can connect to the server from another Mac (running OS X 10.5) and can write/copy all the files my little heart desires.
Suggestions?

Couple of ideas...
In Finder, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
Trash this file & reboot...

Export from iPhoto to folder, then copy to CF card, not enough space error.

Here is an interesting problem, I'm trying to get 126 photos from iPhoto to a 64MB compact flash card.
I used the export in iPhoto and scaled to 800/1200 and saved them to folder on my desktop. When I get info on folder, it says size of files is 42.2MB. I drag the 126 photos from that folder to the Compact Flash card I have mounted using a SanDisk card reader. When it gets to the 85 photo, it says "unable to copy, insufficient disc space" and doesn't copy any of the pics to the CF card. If I copy the first 84 pics to the CF card, then they will copy to the card and then when I get info on the card it states 31 MB available and 30 MB used. When I try to copy any of the remaining photos, it states not enough space. What gives?
The very interesting thing is if I export the same photos and scale to 400/600, the get info on the folder states the size of the files is now 15.4MB. But when I try to copy to the CF card, still only 84 will go on the card.
Finally, I changed the name from "use album name" to "use title" and exported scaled 800/1200 and was able to get 114 of the 126 pics on the card, but it still says free space remaining. I can't figure this out!
(I need to transfer the photo's to the compact flash card because my wife got one of those digital picture fames for her Birthday, but the thing is not compatible with Mac! So have to transfer pics to card, then plug the card in the frame and it will show the pictures. Unable to hood up the frame to the Mac using USB. It does not recognize the frame.)
Anyone want to take a crack and solving this issue?
Thanks for your response in advance.

HI ksduckfan,
I am not sure if this is your problem, but you must drag the photos into a certain folder in the compact flash card. When you take photos and then mount the card (with the reader) did you notice what folder in the card had the photos in it. To find out, double click the mounted card on the desktop and look inside to find the folder with the photos. This is the folder you must copy the photos back into when you do the transfer.
There is a third party application that will make the process easier for you.

Subtitles under main window duplicating if not enough space

Hi Gurus!
In one of my smartforms I ahve a table node to display customer
discounts .Whats happening is that
when there is not enough space on
the main window on teh first page
it just prints the subtitles at the end of main window
on teh firat page and then goes to the
next page and again prints the subtitles there follwed
by the deatils of teh window, means its duplicating
the subtitles if it dosent find much space on
the first page and then
again goes to next page and again prints the subtitles
thus doing it twice.How do I prevent this from happening.
This table under the main window
is not under a folder though. I tried putting it in
a folder and putting that table under
that folder , but page break section
remain greyed out, I am not sure how to
activate the page break for that.
Or is theer another way of doing it?
Thanks.. help would be geratly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I believe you have the subtitles in the header of the table and also in the body of the table node.
Please make sure you use the subtitles in the header of the table node and check the events in the events tab 'At start of the table' and 'At page Break' ( this will be displayed in the next page start ).
Regards,
Ram

You need to discard or save to an external disk and then discard some of the stuff we all tend to keep forever (movies, music, pictures, docs, apps no longer used, etc.). A clogged up disk also does not function ideally either.

Migration assistant to copy from mac mini internal drive to second internal drive fails, 'not enough space'

I have a 2011 mac mini and I just installed a second internal HDD using an OWC data doubler kit. So now I have two internal HDD.
The original HDD is 750 GB and the new one is 1 TB. After the installation I manually formatted the 1 TB drive with one Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partition.
I then installed a fresh copy of Mavericks on the new 1 TB and during the installation tried to use Migration Assistant to move my user account over (mainly to get all the iTunes and iPhoto stuff).
The original HDD 610 GB used, so 140 GB free.
Migration Assistant correctly detects the original HDD but when I try to copy things over it says there is not enough space.
Can anyone help me figure out what I need to do to get Migration Assistant to move my stuff from the original HDD over to the new one?

I feel like such an idiot. I had manually tried to copy files over using the command line before I found out about the Migration Assistant tool. My manual copy had used up 500 GB.
I deleted all of that and now I have no issues with the Migration Assistant.
Sorry for taking your time!

If SnapDrive 6.4 or 6.4.1 is in use, consider upgrading to 6.4.2 due to a known issue in bug 631829, which results in unnecessary VSS_HOLD_WRITES_TIMEOUTS errors,
due to a new ZAPI call workflow during a wafl-sync multicreation snapshot. This issue is fixed in SnapDrive 6.4.2 and higher.
If issues persist after the upgrade, or the version of SnapDrive is earlier than 6.4 or later than 6.4.2, the error is generally related to either full volumes or a potential performance bottleneck on the storage controller, and there might be a considerable
delay in SME backup time.
If the volume is full, resize the volume to ensure it has enough space. For more information, see
2013016: SnapDrive fails to mount LUN because it tries to enable LUN space reservation
2014096: SnapManager for Exchange backup fails with error code: 0xc00402b5
The delays and timeouts can be related to SnapDrive for Windows (SDW) Transport Protocol Settings on HTTP/S protocol with a domain account rather than using a local privileged account on the storage system. Using a domain account for HTTP authentication
can result in significantly reduced performance. To avoid this issue, use a storage system account for authentication (for example, root (7-mode), vsroot (Clustered ONTAP), or another privileged account created on the storage system(s)), instead of a domain
account for the Transport Protocol Setting on all DAG nodes.
If the issue still persists, call the NetApp support hotline and be prepared to gather some storage system-side performance data using the Perfstat tool.
For information on how to use the perfstat tool, see article 1010551: How to collect Perfstat data over RSH or SSH. The perfstat MUST
be collected during a backup where this problem is encountered to be useful for troubleshooting.

Consolidate Library, Not enough Space, itl files, genuius, external drive,

In the interest of putting something back, thought I would post this
Objective
To have a single iTunes Library, on a Server PC, (Windows Home Server) so that if a change is made while on PC (a) or PC (b) we see the change.
Setup
PC (a) living room
PC (b) kitchen
Windows home server, on 24 x 7
In doing this I made a number of errors, and hope you learn from this, and also found a couple of 'features' that made life harder.
Standard approach
1) in iTune preferences, alter the position where you want to store your data, so this could be
//Server/Music/iTunes/Alison/Library
You need the subdirectory as the Library is where your itunes will reside, and your internal itunes file one directory up.
This process will change pointers in te internal itunes files, but still references the music in the various locations it is stored.
2) Now go to the File Menu/ Library / Consolidate Library
This will move all your music to teh location you specified above.
At this point I ran into my first problem, despite having adequate space on the Windows Home Server (WHS) I would get the error 'not enough space to copy files'
I believe the reason I was getting this error message was that some of the files paths were over 256 chat in length. There is also a limitation in WHS on this, but I believe the issue in this case was with iTunes, not WHS.
To get around this issue, I changed the location of where I was going to consolidate all the files to, to an internal disk on the PC where my itunes library was. so Instead of;
//Server/Music/iTunes/Alison/Library
I used m:/iTunes/Alison/Library
This worked, so I had all my data (now duplicated effectively, but consolidated) on the same PC.
The reason people say use consolidate is that it makes the move easy and changes all the internal files, but as I couldn't consolidate to the location I required due to the error, I now have to move all the rest of the data manually.
3) Copy the Library file on the local PC drive to the WHS Library Directory;
Copy m:/iTunes/Alison/Library => //Server/Music/iTunes/Alison/Library
4) I then edited the internal itunes files, so that it pointed to the WHS server location. I edited the itunes internal file;
Settings\Alison\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml
I did this in notepad, with a find and replace command,
Find 'm:/'
Replace '/Server/Music/
The above bit does require some thought and if you have made it this far, have a look at the xml file structure, and you will be able to figure out how to alter the path.
This has the effect of pointing the iTunes file at where the music is now stored, you can confirm this by starting iTunes and getting it to show the track it is playing in Explorer. If it is pointing at your new location you are good to go.
Remember I only had to do this, as I was unable to consolidate to the location I really wanted to go to, due to the space error.
Also note that I had 2gb memory on the machine I did the find and replace on, as Notepad is not memory friendly.
5) Apple has some other internal files that need to be corrected as well;
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library Genius.itdb (if running genius)
iTunes Library Extras.itdb (believe is genius related)
sentinel (no idea, but saw this file !)
To get these all corrected to the new WHS (or external drive) I created a iTunes Library.itl file with zero bytes in the directory Settings\Alison\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\, did this in notepad. I then started iTunes, and it created all of the above files with the new file locations. You can't edit the above files, apple encrypts them
6) you now move all of the corrected internal files to the WHS home server location;
//Server/Music/iTunes/Alison
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Music Library.xml
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
sentinel
7) Now you repoint the itunes to the new location for the internal files, specifically the correct itunes library, there are a number of references on the net to do this that you press the shift key(PC) or the option key (Mac)
I am running a PC, and pressing the shift key while clicking on the itunes icon on the desktop does not work. You have to hold the shift key while starting itunes from the Start Menu, Programs, Itunes. This will then give you an option of which library to look at, and look at the library on the WHS drive (or external drive)
Thats it
Hope this helps someone who has to battle with iTunes like I did. Due to the variosu errors, size of the library (200gb) and other issues, whole process took 2 days, if doing this again would have taken a couple of hours.

Hiya, that's sweet to post what you went through!
I have a question, though - are you able to have both PCs running itunes at the same time?
When I try this, I get an error message that the ITL file is locked on the 2nd instance I try to open. I'm using an exHD, not a server.
Also - all that editng of the XML file doesn't save ratings, date added, and some other metadata. If you'd just moved the ITL file, that metadata would be intact.

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
