TOO BIG

have edited a video which is just over a hour long when I export it it is 40 gig and therefore won't fit on a DVD. I'm new to this and must be obviously doing something stupid. A dvd of a film has so much more than my 1 hour film so why can't I export at a size that will fit on a DVD. I'm exporting as a quicktime movie.
Any help appreciated

Hello, and welcome to the discussions,
You do not have the same problem because your movie is 3 hours long. That is too long for a single-layer DVD disk which has a limit of 2 hours, including menu content. The size in GB of the project does not matter since iDVD will compress it to fit the disk as long as the time limit is not exceeded. I have had movies over 60 GB that fit on a single layer disk fine because the movie was under 2 hrs.
If you want to burn single-layer DVD disks, you will need to split your project and make two iDVD projects and burn to two different disks. If your content is 60 minutes or longer, be sure to change the default iDVD setting of 'Best Performance' to one of the 'Quality' settings. Best Performance is the setting for under 60 minutes.
If you really want all three hours on one DVD, you need to burn a dual-layer DVD disk. Change the settings for iDVD to show that is your choice. Go to iDVD Preferences and under Projects select from the dropdown bar the dual-layer option.
You can burn up to 4 hours on a double layer.

I need to downsize phots to publish on a website but they are too big . In help it says when I select a photo it gives me the option to downsize. It does NOT. ?

I can't figure out how to downsize my photos for a website that won't take anything above 3MB my Photos are 4MB. Even when I send them in an email, they are too big to send more than 3 at a time and I don't know how to fix it! Help says that when I select a photo it gives me the option to downsize. It does NOT?????

This is the iPhoto for iOS forum. Are you asking about iPhoto on your Mac?
In iPhoto on your Mac select Export and you will have the option to select a size for your photo.
In iPhoto for iOS this capability is not there. I use PhotoForege2 on my iPad to resize my photos to meet the requirements you describe.

Saving animated gif error - canvas size too big?

Hi,
i have been asked to create an animated gif which has a snow effect in the background. The animation runs pretty well using the pattern style to move the animated snow down. The problem is when I try to export the animation the save for web dialogue window freezes and I can't quit photoshop. I have tried to make the canvas (image size) smaller and it works.
Is there a memory problem with creating animations in Photoshop if the document size is too big, im running a 3000x1000px at 72dpi
TThe animation would be used on a web app, which a script could probably do a better job, but I need to try this first.
thanks

Something is very wrong here. The point behind using GIFs is that they are small and OK to put on a Web site.
First thing: forget all about PPI - this has absolutely no relevance to Web/screen images; it is only used for printing. You need to think about the pixel size.
So, how big in pixels are your starting images?
How big do you want the resulting GIF to be? Again, you have to decide in pixels, as the viewing size will depend upon screen resolution of the person looking at it. You can use a notional PPI of 70-100 to guess how big it will be in inches, but that's all it is - a guess.
Is this getting you going in the right direction?
I cannot resist commenting that I hate almost all animated GIFs as they reduce Web site usability so much.

When I open my iPad the page is too big for the screen and won't shrink down. The keypad has also become very 'sticky'

Recently when I open any apps the pages are too big for the screen. They shrink when pinched but immediately become bigger again. It's very difficult to scroll too. The keypad has become very sticky. Missing letters and spaces when I type and needing to tap the keys much harder than usual

I have the exact same problem, I think. I was on my iPad 3's home page swiping R-L to locate a certain icon when all of a sudden the screen appeared to get HUGE. So big I could only see one or two icons. I couldn't even turn it off to try a reboot because after I pushed the sleep/wake button, I couldn't find the red slide bar. I finally just had to wait for the battery to die, then recharge it, and it looked normal again. I also spoke with several friends who haven either iPads or iPhones, and they've all had this happen to them. I checked my accessibility settings, and Zoom was already off. So what is causing this problem for so many people, and what can we do to prevent it? Please help.

Double-tap the screen with three fingers to disable Zoom.
To turn off Zoom go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and turn this Off.

When doing a second "Organize Library" cuz the first was too big, will iTunes recognize what's already copied over?

I'm stuck with a large folder of music on my PC in My Music folder. And I used "Organize Library" in iTunes but it didn't copy everything over because the amount of music was too big. I've deleted the original copies of music outside of iTunes to open up more space and was wondering if I do a second "Organize Library" if it will recognize that some of the music has already been copied over.

I don't know what "restore the iPod" is
It's usually the second thing to do (after Reset) when the iPod is not working correctly.
Select the iPod in iTunes and click Restore.
See this -> Restoring iPod to factory settings
what about my main question? Can I go back to "sync all" but manually block certain albums?
No because sync all is just that.
Sycning specific playlists should work fine. And you can create more than one and sync which ones you want.

I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
it is.
is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
i wouldn't - at least not until i
mount the external
point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

I recorded an interview on my iPad using the iTalk app. How can I transfer that audio to my MacBook Pro? The file is too big to email.

The "other" memory section on my Mac is WAY too big.

Hey everyone!
I know there are a LOT of discussions about this topic, but none of them really seemed to work for me. So the other day I got an error saying "Your startup disk is almost full". I immediately checked the storage section of "About my Mac", and sure enough, something like 100 GB were taken up by local backups. To fix this issue, I disabled local backups via this terminal command: sudo tmutil disablelocal.
I did a restart and checked my storage again. This time, it looked like this (and still does):
All of what used to be backups is now other. And the reason I have those 900 or so MB of backups is because I eventually turned those on again (with the reverse of the above command) in an effort to fix this. Out of options, I then went to the apple store, where they told me to just delete stuff that was too big. So I got a 1 TB drive and started copying and deleting stuff. The main thing I got rid of was a giant windows VM I had. And just to prove that something's wrong here, look at the breakdown of my files from OmniDiskSweeper:
If you do the math, I should have about 100 GB more free than I do now. I've tried:
Turning the thing off then on (you'd be surprised how often that works)
Resetting the PRAM
Forcing spotlight to reindex the machine
Throwing the machine out the window (well, not quite)
What I think might be the cause:
This is a stab in the dark here, but possibly all those GB of backups tried to delete themselves and somehow corrupted and aren not called backups anymore by the system?
Just one more thing: I noticed that OmniDiskSweeper showed a volume I don't recognize. It's called MobileBackups. Maybe that has something to do with it?
I'll appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Although the guide is a little dated, a lot of the information there is really great and helps you track down a lot of files that are just taking up way too much space on your hard drive.
http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
I just did this the other day on my Air running 10.9 and recovered around 50GB of disk space, so there is potentially a lot you can do. I suggest following the steps on this guide (to the T, don't want to mess anything up) and go from there. Don't delete ANYTHING that you are not aware of the function, and remember that searching for names of files is a great way to determine whether or not you need it. Some files that SEEM like junk and take up a considerable amount of space are system files that will either be replaced the next time you boot up or render you computer useless entirely.
For example, there is a file that saves the state of your computer just before it goes to sleep so that it can return quickly when you start up again, and that file is normally the size of the amount of RAM you have (I have 4GB of RAM, so the file was 4GB). After doing some research, this file will either be recreated if deleted, or your sleep mode will not be able to function properly if the file is deleted. So again, just tread lightly.
Also, there is an application I used to get rid of a bunch of duplicate files that I had on my drive called Gemini (http://macpaw.com/gemini), which I recommend using to clean up documents. Again, be careful, you don't want to go deleting files that you are using that the application mistook for a duplicate.
Hope this helps!

I'm trying to open a 900kb Word doc (240pages) in Pages but get this error message: Import Warning - A table was too big. Only the first 40 columns and 1,000 rows were imported.

Julian,
Pages simply won't support a table with that many rows. If you need that many, you must use another application.
Perhaps the originator could use a tabbed list rather than a table. That's the only way you will be able to contain a list that long in Pages. You can do the conversion yourself if you open the Word document in LibreOffice, Copy the Table, Paste the Table into Numbers, Export the Numbers doc to CSV, and import to Pages. In Pages Find and Replace the Commas with Tabs.
There are probably other ways, but that's what comes to mind here.

I upgraded because they said my files were too big but I've emailed files a lot prior. now after the upgrade I have a completed file to emial to someone, enter all the data, and there is no "SEND" button. how do i send these files and why isnt it just l

I have often sent pdf or other files with adobe by email with no problem.
this file it said was too big so I'd have to upgrade to send it. so I upgraded it. I followed all the instructions, email, etc, etc, and its' ready to go but there is no SEND button. how do I sent my file?

Are you still experiencing a problem with Adobe Send? We inadvertently introduced a problem earlier today (now fixed), but you reported your issue was last night.
Anyway, can you check again?

I am having trouble with a video. I have tried to copy it to a flash drive because it is too big to fit on a DVD, it says it is too large for the volumes format. Please advise.

I have done many DVD's for seniors for graduation so I am familier with Imovie. I have just finished a projec that is a combination of video, music and stills. I shared it through idvd. Now I can't burn it to a dvd because it is too large. It is too big even for a two sided disk. I have researched it and i find that blue ray would be big enough. Does apple offer blue ray burner? if so, what is the cost? I tried another route and took my external hard drive to copy it to a PC. there computer wouldn't recongize my drive. I am assuming it is because it is formated for apple. I tired copying it to a flash drive and and it says that it can't be copied because it is too large for the volume's format. Suggestions? PLEASE!!!!!

Could the video be too big because of using too high a resolution? 480p is sufficient for a DVD. the thread at:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5868958?tstart=30
may be of help.
Apple does not support Blue ray - you have to use a thrid party application like Toast.
To transfer the video to a PC you need a FAT-formatted hard drive (or of course a sufficiently big memory stick).
You could also go via a network, via the cloud (eg Dropbox) or with 'Wetransfer" or similar.

Itunes is too big for my laptop, i moved it to an external hard drive and now it's lost

My laptop was too slow and the hard drive was full so I added memory and it was still too full. I bought an external hard drive and tried moving my itunes to it. But now itunes can't find any of my music. I tried moving the entire itunes folder onto the external hard drive and still itunes can't find it. I tried moving everything back to the laptop - but it won't accept the file because its too big. Help!

iPods don't look for the library. iTunes does.
I recently moved my itunes music folder
Don't move your music folder.
Let iTunes do it.
Point iTunes prefs to the location where you wan tit.
Then go to menu Advanced -> *Consolidate library*.
This will copy the iTunes music folder to the location in iTunes prefs.

Disk image of HD -- "image/device too big"

I'm trying to make a disk image of my hard drive as a backup. I did this with the other three Macs in my house, using Disk Utility and saving them to an external Firewire drive. No problem. But when I try to do the same thing with my G5, I get a message saying "image/device is too big." If I was getting this message from my wife, I guess I'd be flattered ... from my Mac, not so much.
The thing is, I should have plenty of room. The external drive has 139 GB of space available and the G5 is only using 51GB. Get Info says I have 148 GB capactiy and about 97 GB available. Does the external drive need room for the whole 148 GB to create the disk?
The main difference between the other operations and the troublesome one is that I save the other Disk Images using my G5 running MacOS 10.4.11. The other Macs all were running 10.3.9. I'd access them in Target Mode on my G5 and save the Disk Image. When I tried to reverse the process and used the newest 10.3.9 machine (a G4) to save a dmg of my G5, I get the "too big" message.
Any suggestions? Would Carbon Copy Cloner (or something else) allow me to do this from the G5? Any help would be appreciated.

Found answer elsewhere.

Java.lang.exception: word is too big

Hi everybody!
I have a problem need your help. At present I have a server-client application, server running on Linux enviroment, client running on Window enviroment. After a period of time, there is a exception thrown to console: java.lang.Exception: word is too big, try to use less letter ..... And at that time, no more client can connect to client, however clients which connected to server from before still run as normal. Please help to fix this. Thank you very much

I can not upload the source code here because it's so big. Before I have never ever met this error. Nearly I have a new server linux machine, and I run my program on this machine, as a result I have had this problem. I say I can catch this exception means I try to trace it by in catch and throw but nothing can be catched. And "word is too big, try to use less letters..." is not mine. I saw it in console. At first, I don't know why client can not connect to server, so I try to find out it in console mode and as you know I find out this exception. If anybody have ever met this error. Please explain it to me and help me to resolve it. Thanks
