Trying to finalize a project and it says not enough room in heap zone??

I've been trying to finalize an iMovie project that is 12min 35sec but all it keeps saying is not enough room in heap zone.. What can I do about this?? It is so aggravating!! Thanks..

A. Free Space - On DeskTop - usually top right hand corner there use to be an icon of Your Hard Disk - usually named Macintosh HD. If not then go via [cmd+F] and select it in tool field.
Now after it's selected You can read at the bottom of the frame
number of items selected and - Free Space as here 27,13 GB available
B. Is there any thing connected to Your Mac - as external hard disks or other devices ?
C. There can be a problem with iMovie pref file (Very common and especially so if the Mac has been Force/Panic Halted. To test this is easy.
• Apple Menu and down to System Preferences
• Accounts - and Create a new one
• Apple Menu and down to bottom - Log out
• Log into new Account
Now try iMovie - If it works - the problem is to 95 - 99.9% a corrupted iMovie pref file.

    SO I KEEP TRYING TO FINALIZE IMOVIE PROJECT AND... NOT FINALIZE BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH ROOM IN HEAP ZONE?

    The experts at a store told me that this usually is a problem of not having enough memory available for the system to finalize the project.  I moved some movies to a hard drive, but still haven't been able to solve the problem.

  • What does "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Not enough room in heap zone / )" mean?

    When I click on finalize project in iMovie, an error message comes up that says "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Not enough room in heap zone / )". How do I fix it, and what does it mean?

    re-post in the iMovie forum where all the people that use that software are.  This is the Lion 10.7 forum.

  • How do I export from IMovie when "not enough room in Heap Zone" error code appears?   How can I correct,  what to Do.."export movie" insteand of Media browser or IDVD?  Finalize movie?  I want to burn it to DVD!

    How do I export from IMovie to Wondershare Creator to Make DVD and share hour long movie when I am unable to "publish" movie on Media Browser of IDVD because the error code "not enough room in heap Zone/ " appears and function is aborted. 
    I shortened the movie, that is no cure...Correcting date info on clips does not pertain.  Why would Apple throw roadblocks in your way without solving problems they create?
    A techie made an appointment on the phone and was totally incapable of addressing the problem.
    What is a heap zone????

    Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
    If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
    Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
    Under the Video section click on Settings...
    Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

  • Unable to prepare project for publishing The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred.(Not enough room in heap zone / )

    Hi,
    I tried couple times to export movie in iMovie but every time failed even after restart. I have 180GB of free space in my mac book pro and have 8GB of RAM. I have gone through the forum but could not find the solution for it. Please help me if anyone know the resolution. Thanks.

    You're triggering a memory-handling bug in the 32-bit CoreGraphics framework. Unfortunately there may be no easy workaround. According to a report, you may be able to Export QuickTime and then export again from QuickTime Player, which (unlike iMovie) is a 64-bit application.

  • Cant sync says not enough room tried everything!

    hi
    just upgraded to a nano 4gb from a shuffle. i tried to sync songs from a playlist, about 300 songs, and it says not enough room.n i restored 4 times and dont know what i am doing wrong. how do you get one large playlist or several playlists of songs I have picked, playlists I want, on my nano?

I selected to select my own playlists to sync and there are 4 playlists total of about 200 songs and I get the same message, not enough space, it says what I am selecting is 4.0GB and I have 3. whatever, but 200 songs is not that much.

  • Trying to update phone and keeps saying not enough storage how do i fix it

    I have deleted almost every picture off my phone cause it kept telling me not enough storage. I am trying to update, but it won't let me . It keeps saying not enough storage.... How do I fix this cause it should have plenty now !

    Settings/General/About/Available will tell you how much free storage you have. From memory you need at least 1.4 GB or so to update to iOS 7 over WiFi (I strongly suggest you have more than that, 2-3 GB is safer for the iOS 7 upgrade).
    If you have problems freeing up enough space on your phone then update it via iTunes instead, that's both more likely to work without issues and doesn't require all that free space on the phone to start with.

  • Trying to restore my iPhone 4s from a previous backup and I keep getting a message that says "not enough room on the iPhone". Help!

    I am trying to restore my iPhone 4s settings from a previous backup and now I'm getting a "not enough room on the iPhone" message. This is very frustrating. How can I fix this?

    If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
    If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your data is unrecoverable.
    While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
    You delete your existing backups here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

  • IMovie won't share/export my project as it says 'not enough disk space' - how on earth do I get this movie onto a DVD?

    I really hope someone can help me please?
    I have a 16GB iPad and have created a really nice wedding DVD for my sister.  It consists of about 20 mins worth of video clips and 25 mins of images set to music with movement between slides etc.  I have cleared absolutely everything off that's possible from my memory and I can't seem to get the iMovie project off my iPad!  My storage says that 8.7GB is taken up by iMovie and I've deleted all photos from my camera roll as iMovie can run the project without them, it doesn't cope without the video clips though (tried that!)
    I hve now tried exporting to iTunes and it says I don't have enough disk space - I don't understand how it can't just lift the project off my iPad without having to consume yet more storage?  I have also tried exporting to camera roll trying 1080pHD - too big.  It started on the 710pHD and got all the way through exporting (around 30 mins) and then at the end told me I didn't have enough disk space.  Funnily enough, iMovie was only taking up around 6GB of space prior to this, so it's storing this failed attempt to export some how but I can't see how I can get rid of that.
    I am heartbroken that I've spent three months doing this and now can't transport it from my iPad by seeminly any means possible.  I don't want to just give up.  I've seen other threads that say 'go to my computer and look in the DCIM folder and it's there... but it's not.  All the video clips are there but not the actual project. 
    Any help anyone can give would be so much appreciated.  Is there a way I can do this without essentially having to give up on apple products and buy some video editing software for my PC. Which isn't a MAC by the way.  As you can tell, I was hoping to screen this movie on Christmas day for the family :-(

    Are any of your apps video players? Some app store apps contain a file you can't see which saves logs of everything you do. Say if you have had an iPhone for 4 months and watched 50 videos with a video player these 50 videos may have been copied to the log file inside the application and may be what is using up all your disk space. Delete all video player applications from your iPhone.
    If that doesn't solve the problem copy the photos to your computer and restore your iPhone with iTunes back to factory settings and when you have restored DO NOT "restore from back up" because that might restore whatever is causing the problem instead DO "set up as new iPhone". Once you've set up your iPhone sync apps, books music, photos...etc back to the device.

  • 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.

  • When Time Machine tries to back up to my Seagate HD before the HD is fully on, it fails. Then Time machine thinks it needs to back up the entire drive and there's not enough room. It won't just do the backup of new info now. Any thoughts?

    When I try to do a Time Machine backup with my Seagate HD, and if I accidentally have Time Machine automatically on, it will fail if the HD is not fully on and recognized by the computer yet. But the problem is that when this has happened (twice now), it seems it loses all knowledge that it has backed up using Time Machine before and it will only try to back up the entire Mac HD to the Seagate. The Seagate already has 147 GB of data from prior Time Machine backups and I only need to backup the latest stuff since my last backup, but it won't let me do that. It tries to do the whole drive and it says it can't because there is only 135 GB of space left and it needs to backup 147 GB. Anyone know how to fix this and get it to start backing up again without erasing the drive and starting over? That's what I did last time. I erased the Seagate and then reset it as my Time Machine drive and it started working fine again until it failed and reverted to the problem. Thanks

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message that corresponds to an abnormal backup. Now
    CLEAR THE WORD "Starting" FROM THE TEXT FIELD
    so that all messages are showing, and scroll back in the log to the time you noted. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the text field.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
