TS3683 Not enough space on my Mac HD to back up my iPad. My iTunes library is on an external drive. Can I use this same drive to Back yup my iPad?

I don't have enough space on my Mac HD to back up my iPad. Actually, my iTunes library is on an external drive. Can I use this same drive to Back up my iPad?

1. First make sure iPhoto is not running. If it is, quit it. Use the Finder to copy your iPhoto Library file to your external drive. Unless you've changed it, its located inside your Pictures folder and is named "iPhoto Library".
2. After the copy is complete, start iPhoto while simultaneously holding down the option key. iPhoto will bring up a dialog box. The file in the list is your existing Library on your internal disk. Click the "Other Library" button and navigate to your external drive. Select your freshly copied iPhoto Library file and click "Open". iPhoto will from now on open and work with this library on the external drive.
3. After you've confirmed iPhoto is working properly with the newly copied library you may wish to delete the original library in your Pictures folder to recover the disk space.
Don't forget to keep a backup copy of your library on a separate disk. It's not a matter of "if" your external drive will fail but "when". You need to make regular backups or you'll be sorry someday.

I am working in a school. Last year we had one ipad cart (holding 30 ipads) with one macbook to work with. This year we purchased a second Ipad cart (another 30 ipads) but not the second macbook. Can I use this same macbook to sync all 60 ipads?

I am working in a school. Last year we had one ipad cart which holds 30 ipads and one macbook for syncing. This year we bought another cart of 30 ipads, but not an extra macbook. Can I sync all 60 ipads to the one macbook computer?

In theory everything that you are saying sounds right to me.
I am not sure at all what the limitations are when using the iPad in education as far as how many iPads can sync to one iTunes account. I am going to take a stab in the dark here and guess that you can sync up to 49 iPads with one Mac and one iTunes account since the device that I found has 49 ports. How's that for an obvious guess?
But seriously, I don't how Apple treats volume licensing with a single iTunes account in education. You were using 30 iPads this past school year so we know that's not a problem. The device that I found has 49 ports so we assume that 49 iPads are OK as well. You would have to check with Apple as to what the limitations/rules arefor using a single iTunes account.
There has to be a way to sync as many iPads as you have students in those classes or the iPad in education would not be a viable option. What I don't know about is how you go about paying for that volume license or how it is implemented.
For personal use, you can use up to 10 devices with a single Apple ID/iTunes account. No more than 5 of those devices can be computers.

False error message: there is not enough space on your .mac idisk...

I had four sites. I deleted one site and removed a ilnk to it from a remaining site. Now I get repeated errors publishing: "There is not enough space on your .mac idisk to publish your site" and urging me to buy more space. This message is incorrect as I have plenty of space left and anyway I want to remove things, not add. Please help me get published.
thanks

Have you tried asking this question over in the .Mac forums? Or even better, have you sent an Email to the .Mac support people?
I've not experienced your issue with iWeb, so I can't really help out, however, I have seen the discussion about this problem several times in the discussions. You may want to try doing a search, if you haven't already, for this problem in the discussions and see if there is a fix.

I just bought a new Mac and I want to transfer some data (not all) from my old Mac. Basically, I want to move my itunes library, iphoto library, and a few documents. I have not even turned on my new Mac yet. Is the best way by an external hard drive?

If both have Firewire ports then you can accomplish your goal by using Target Disk Mode. If this is not possible then you can do using an external drive or if you have a local network connect both to your network and use filesharing between the two computers.

I have an ipod shuffle, the really thin one that looks like a usb drive, can I use this in a car via a usb connection? My car is not recognising it. I have a Hyundai i20 2011 model

I have an ipod shuffle - 3rd generation. Can you use these in cars? My car is a Hyundai i20 2o11 model and it has a usb connection. I connected my shuffle today but the car would not recognise it. Do I have to have a different type of ipod, eg nano or something?

How do I populate my iPod classic from iCloud without first downloading to my Mac (there is not enough space on my Mac)?

I have approximately 16G free on my iMac. All of my music (20,000+ tracks) is in the cloud.
I want to entirely fill my iPod Classic (160G) but I cannot free up enough interim storage on my iMac. Is there a way to load the iPod Classic without physically downloading to my iMac first?
In other words, I understand I need to connect the classic to iTunes on my Mac, but can I load the iPod Classic from iCloud, through iTunes without downloading first.
Thank you

Thanks - Unfortunately I figured that out yesterday. I tried downloading a bit at a time and populating the iPod. I had hoped that when I deleted it from local it wouldn't really dissappear from the ipod and I could download a bit more. as you likely already know, that didn't work.
Rats.
I deleted my iPhoto libraray and videaos and that made space for the 20,000+ tracks. About 18,000 fitted on the 160GB iPod.
Now I have to restore the iPhoto library and videos.
A lot of work...
Thaks,

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:

Mmap:Not enough space error

I am using mmap for the cache and I frequently get the following errors:
BDB0126 mmap: Not enough space
BDB0061 PANIC: Not enough space
BDB1546 unable to join the environmennt
The cache size is 100 MB in 4 segments. How an I fix this problem.

Lets go back to the original problem which is BDB0126 mmap: Not enough space.
As discussed in my initial post, BDB is making a mmap OS call and this call is returning an error.
This error is directly tied to your system. You are trying to allocated 400MB in 4 100MB segments.
I suggested you write a test program and perform a test.
I also suggested you reduce the segments -- if you used 3 as an example you would have 3 100MB segments.
This would effectively reduce your overall cache.
You could also use something other than mmap as BDB provides other options which are covered in the docs.
You will need to debug your own system to figure out if the problem is lack of total memory or lack of 100MB chunks
of memory or something totally different. What I know is the mmap OS call is returning a -1 on your system.
The other errors you reported all stem from the first one, so the first one is what need to investigate..
thanks

Kstat_open sets errno to "Not enough space"

I wrote the following test program:
<pre>
int main()
kstat_ctl_t * kc;
perror("1");
kc = kstat_open();
perror("2");
if (!kc) printf("kstat_open failed\n");
</pre>
and got the following output:
1: Error 0
2: Not enough space
Reason I wrote the test was that in another program, I was calling kstat_open() and it was returning NULL with this error, and I wanted to know why. Seems the error is misleading. Any suggestions as to how else I might diagnose my problem, please?

Here are some general rules for error numbers:
<UL>
* For functions in section 2 of the manual, they return success OR they return failure and set errno. You should not check errno after a successful system call. These functions will clearly say in their man page that they set errno and what values it might get.
* For functions in section 3 of the manual, they just return success or failure. In either case, they may or may not change errno. The fact that errno did or did not change tells you nothing about whether they succeeded or why they failed. The man pages for these functions do not show error numbers, so you should not check errno or use perror.
</UL>
Your test shows that kstat_open can set errno to ENOMEM even when the open succeeds. This happens when kstat works to figure out how much buffer space it needs, and it is expected behavior.
When can kstat_open fail? It will fail if
* the open of /dev/kstat fails
* an ioctl(KSTAT_IOC_CHAIN_ID or KSTAT_IOC_READ) fails
* a call to calloc fails
If you use the truss command, you will get a change to see what system calls libkstat is doing. This might help shed some light on the problem.

TS4036 I upgraded to an Iphone 5 and open new Icloud account, I then backed up my phone on my brothers Mac Pro, I now want to restore my info to my phone and I get a message that says not enough space. What do I do

I upgraded to an Iphone 5 and open new Icloud account, I then backed up my phone on my brothers Mac Pro, I now want to restore my info to my phone and I get a message that says not enough space. What do I do

Delete all back ups on MacBook and create new back up. Restart his MB and attempt to restore again. Do not forget to erase your iphone 5 before restore.

Just downloaded mountain lion but it told me not enough space on Mac HD. What do i do?

I just downloaded mountain lion and it told me that I have to pick a disk to put it on. There is not enough space on Mac HD because apparently time machine backs up on there. What do I do? Can I back that up somewhere else?

HOw much avaiable space do you have on that volume?
Do you have a partition for TM, or are these local snapshots (is it a MacBook or MacBook pro)?
Either way you'll need to free up space by moving data off the drive.

I am getting disc full messages on my Mac, unable to empty trash because not enough space, how do I proceed or do I need to increase my 4gig of memory

I am getting disc full messages on my Mac, unable to empty trash because not enough space, how do I proceed or do I need to increase my 4gig of memory in which case how do I go about this process.

You are confusing RAM (Random Access Memory) with hard drive data storage space.
Your hard drive storage is getting too full if you can't empty your Mac's main trash.
Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
( as you mentioned, you can't empty this as your hard drive is too full.)
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

When I run some appli like iPhoto or either, "not enough space" appears, although my mac book pro have 168 Go available. What's wrong? Thanks

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!
