Space for temporary files

Hi,
how much of free space should be provided for temporary files. Is it depends on the app's ? If yes, any estimation ?
Thanks.

How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
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.
 Cheers, Tom

Unable to save PDF's from Internet Explorer. Error "The document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk."

We are currently in a published desktop environment in Citrix XenApp 6.5. Server is running on Windows 2008 R2. Users are not able to save PDF's into the redirected folders (ie Desktop or My Documents). Exactly same issue described in "The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary file is full...." Anyone has any suggestion??

Same problem here. Any ideas?
Saving with Shortcut "CRTL+SHIFT+S" works just fine.

Unable to save PDF. The disk used for temporary files is full.

I just started getting the "Document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk" message.
I am running Windows 8. I've seen fixes for this on the Internet for previous versions of Windows on the Internet, but haven't seen one that works for Windows 8. Help, please.

Folder Specified for Temporary Files is not Available

Whenever I start PS CS, I get a "The Folder Specified for Temporary Files is not Available" error message. How do I fix this?
Thanks!

Doesn't proof that it's working. Disable it (as a scratch disk). See what happens.

Disk space for program file

Hi,
Wondering if any body has experienced with this. The disk space for program file(not data base file) is full and I want to know what are my options to free some space? Please include tcodes......

Latha,
You can follow the note and you will be able to schedule few background jobs for this. If you need to delete files at operating system level (Windows/Unix) then you can simply use delete or rm operating system commands.
You may want to move/compress few files if you think you may need in the future for some analysis purpose. I am attaching one more note for standard reorgnization jobs.

Change destination for Temporary File cache?

I am using latest FCS versions with Compressor 3.0.2. I am exporting a 1-hour HDV file from FCP for HD DVD disk using the H264 Multipass 10.3Mbps setting. I found to my cost that a temporary file is generated which is about 2x the final file size (i.e. about 8.5GB) and this is saved on my startup disk at user/library/caches/temporaryitems. I didn't have that much space so my 30-hour rendering was aborted.
Now I value the space on my startup disk! OSX and FCS has already been hogging huge chunks of it!!
Anyway, my question is does anyone know if it's possible to relocate this temporary file to another disk?
Thanks

No.
UNix apps store their tempfiles preferred on the 'system partition' of your harddrive.
on my setup. ALL libraries (= the Gigabytes of iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie...) are external.. free your int. HDD is best advice ..

Change path for temporary file

Hi !
During an iMovie project, export directly to iDVD fails because the free disk space that is used (system disk) is not sufficient (about 10GB).
It's possible change the temporary file pointing to a external drive that has lots of free space?
The situation is the configuration:
- Disk System with about 10GB free
- External firewire disk where saved the project and imported movie with 200GB free
Thank you in advance for solution.

Volumes/folders for temporary files

Hello everybody. Can anyone explain how I can choose not only a volume for PS-temp-files but also a certain folder where PS should place it's tmp-files?
Our problem is that C:\ is full, and our admin is not amused to allow writing in the root of E:. Changing the system variable "temp" from "C:\temp" to "e:\temp" is "only a workaround and no solution" in his words. Any other ideas?
Win XP, PS 12.03, x32

Your admin thinks that you writing files to other disks in your system is something he doesn't want to allow you to do, and he doesn't offer any help in cleaning up your C: drive (or getting you a bigger one or another one)?
Assuming you're telling the whole story, it sounds like you may need a new admin! I'd suggest taking your inability to work this way up with your supervisor.
Here are observations about how Photoshop works:
Photoshop needs to write scratch files to the root folder of a drive letter on your system.
Photoshop writes some temporary files to the folder identified by your TEMP environment variable.
Photoshop may also, under some conditions, choose another (unspecified) folder, most likely a root folder of a drive letter on your system, to use for certain temporary files (e.g., those with _MVM_ in the name).
You can change the drive used for the scratch files using the Edit - Preference - Performance dialog, but Photoshop MUST have full permission to access the root folder of the drive. That's just the way it's designed.
You can change your TEMP environment variable as you mentioned, and that can be effective for moving temporary file access off your burdened C: drive for not only Photoshop but a lot of other apps as well.
No one has been able to discover a reliable method of ensuring the _MVM_ temporary files are written to a specific place, though some have observed that if the TEMP drive has plenty of space then it tends to use the TEMP folder. Last we heard from Adobe here on the forum on this subject, they were looking into where the Mondo Virtual Memory manager subsystem was programmed to write files.

P.S., While you're at it, you might inquire what plans your system administration people have for moving you off your obsolete operating system. XP is getting awfully long in the tooth. Maybe you can get a nice new computer out of the deal.

Disk Utility - Erase Free Space - Creating Temporary File Freezes

BDAqua: I tried responding to your reply to my original posting but I get an error message that I was not authorized to reply. I logged out. I can't find the original posting in my Activity so I approached from the link in my e-mail saying you had replied. Now it says the area is restricted. What's up with that?
Rod
Here's the original post:
I used "Erase Free Space" with Disk Utility after trashing several files I no longer wanted on the hard drive or recovered. I used "Zero Out Deleted Files" option. It took over 12 hours before an error message appeared "Your start up disk is almost full. You need to make more space available on your start up disk by deleting files." I thought that was what I was doing. Disk Utility continued but got stuck on "Creating Temporary File." I force quit Disk Utility after several more hours. I had to manually shut down the computer because the restart command wouldn't work. It rebooted and appears to be OK. Evidently, this temporary file consumes significant amounts of disk space. This is an older iMac with 10.4.11 (18 GHz PowerPC G5) - I know, pretty old but I still have OS 9 on it and several files I need to extract before I trash it.
1. Should I do nothing? The iMac seems to be working fine.
2. How do I know if this Temporary File exists and consuming space? Spotlight doesn't find it. Where is it?
3. Is my start up disk in fact almost full? How would I know that?

Here's what I tried to say in my response that I wasn't authorize to make:
I can't seem to reply to your response BD . . . says I'm not authorize . . . so I'll try to reply to my original post.
Thanks BD for your reply. Here's the info on the drive: 1.3 TB capacity with 1,017 GB available. Eventually I will recycle the computer at Best Buy who guarantees the hard drive will be erased. I just want to get all my files off first. I'll just do another Erase Free Space and see, as you suggest, if there are any files to be zeroed out. Maybe there aren't any. I've extracted most of what I want but am debating how to move the entire iPhoto library to an external drive so I can access it from my Mavericks machine. Can I just drag and drop the iPhoto Library, or do I need to export it somehow?

Then I would not do any secure erasing. It's exceptionally time consuming and unnecessary. Before you take it in for recycling boot it from your OS X installer DVD. Do this:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
A one-pass Zero Data option is all that is required to prevent access to your erased files.

Why can't the Utility function's 'Erase free space' create temporary file

I've been using erase free space without problem for some time.. Then today when I tried to use it, got an error message to say that erase free space won't work because it can't create a temporary file. I have a 320 GB MBP with 88 GB of free space.
I'd love you forever if you can help me get round this issue

How much disk space for RT OS

Hi all
RT OS (Desktop) has a problem: If disk is full RT OS won't start.
So I have to limit the amount of file output of my RT application to a reasonable value.
To do this I read free disk space at start of my application (using GetFreeDiskSpaceEx), so I can enshure that MY apllication will not write more data than available space (e.g. by deleting old data).
But I don't know how much disk space the operating system will need while running.
Can anybody tell me a value to calculate with?
Many thanks in advance!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

A general rule of thumb is that the OS needs roughly 25MB of storage for temporary files, .ini files, persistent storage, and the like. Don't suck your usage below 25MB and you should be able to minimize your surprises.
NOTE: This number was obtained empirically via not-so-stringent testing. Your mileage may vary.

Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets.

Im trying to burn an iDVD and its saying that there is not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets. My main hard drive only has a few hundred Mb left on it so i bought a 1 Tb external hard drive and want to know how to make iDVD use the space on the external hard drive instead trying to use the main hard drive. Any help would be awesome! thanks

Hi
Yes - This is important.
Free Space - Must be on the Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk and can not be used on any other.
My safe level is a minimum of 25Gb free space - to let iDVD and Mac OS run OK.
This is due to that Mac OS X is in reality UNIX and there by needs lot's of temporary space for temp. files and so does the application iDVD. And this can not be addressed elsewhere.
So to free up space - one thing is to move iMovie Events to an external hard disk BUT THIS MUST BE DONE Right Else all can be lost ! !
• Never move or adjust any folders Named - iMovie Events or iMovie Projects - on Desktop/Finder - links will breake and can be hard to impossibly to heal. ALL movings must be done within iMovie Application (it goes for iMovie'08 to 11)
• External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will NOT WORK FOR VIDEO - nearly everything else BUT NOT VIDEO.

Space for IPAD 2

We have 3 iPads (2). All of them on one Account name. I believe that it has over excited the space on all on my Account.
Ive added extra space but still can’t get anything to down load. The messages say your out of space. How do I fix this problem?

If you purchased iCloud storage space, this is space for storing files over the Internet to Apple's remote network storage servers.
This type of storage DOES NOT increase your physical, local storage on your iPad. If your iPad/s are full or nearing full data capacity, you need to either backup your iPad/s to iTunes on a computer, first. Then you can selectively delete/remove items off of the iPad/s to increase the available storage space on your iPad/s.
The only other option to get more data storage space on an iPad is to completely wipe the data clean on your current iPad, sell it and use the cash to purchase a larger storage size version iPad.
