Unable to install because not enough space to extra on C-Drive... But I don't want it to extract there.

Hi,
Apparently I'm Unable to install Photoshop CC because not enough space to extra on C-Drive... But I don't want it to extract there. I've already gone into "Preferences" and switched both folder locations (CC Files and App Files) into my D Drive which has plenty of space, but I get an error that there is not enough space on the C Drive. Duh, I know that, which is why I want to install it on another drive.
What are some steps I can take to fix this?

Refer to the blurb on SSDs in this article:

Just be aware that it may have severe repercussions for your system as a whole.

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!

Can't restore from backup because not enough space on iphone? huh?

I am trying to simply restore my iphone from a backup on my laptop because I accidentally deleted an app of mine with important data. When I go to restore the iphone though from a backup it tells me that it can't restore b/c not enough space on iphone. I don't see how that makes sense since if it's a backup from the same iphone I'm using, how can there ever not be enough space to restore it? I've also already searched other peoples problems and my hard disk has plenty of space on it where itunes and the backups are installed. I've tried moving the temp and tmp folders but that didn't do anything.

I restored to an older backup which seemed to go through but now when I then try to restore to a newer backup it says on the phone "restore complete" and then it gives me same error message on computer. When I look at phone it seems to have restored my notes and contacts, but not my SMS or my calendar.

Lion install fail - "not enough space" - I have over 90g...?

Tried installing Lion from the app store on my Core 2 Duo iMac 2.4/1GB/250GB. Message says there is not enough space even though I have over 90gb on the hard drive. I repaired permissions, ran software update to make sure I was on the latest version of Snow Leapard...what gives? Any ideas?

2.4/1GB/250GB - There's your problem. Lion requires 2GB ram, minimum.

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.

Not enough space on my new SSD drive to import my data from time machine backup, how can I import my latest backup minus some big files?

I just got a new 256GB SSD drive for my mac, I want to import my data from time machine backup, but its larger than 256GB since it used to be on my old optical drive. How can I import my latest backup keeping out some big files on the external drive?

Hello Salemr,
When you restore from a Time Machine back up, you can tell it to not transfer folders like Desktop, Documents. Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures and Public. Take a look at the article below for the steps to restore from your back up.

Terry,
Plug your iPhone 5 into your Leopard Machine.
Fire up iPhoto.
The phone should become available in iPhoto, and then you can import the camera roll.

Wont sync because of not enough space but it also says i have free space at the bottom

I synced my entire itunes at first. Then I got some more music off an old ipod and wanted to put it on knowing I have to select specific artist or albums instead of the whole collection. I have around 3000 songs on the ipod now. Its not letting me sync around 2000 songs it says because not enough space. The gauge at the bottom says i have 6 gbs left and the ipod it self says it has 3 gbs. This is all besides the point because Im trying to put less stuff on there. Why?

"Not enough space" - on DB.open

Hello,
My application is using BDB 3.3.1.
I’m running with the following Parameters:
m_dbEnv.set_cachesize(0, 536870912, 0);
m_dbEnv.set_verbose(Db.DB_VERB_CHKPOINT, true);
m_dbEnv.set_verbose(Db.DB_VERB_RECOVERY, true);
m_dbEnv.set_verbose(Db.DB_VERB_DEADLOCK, true);

m_dbEnv.set_lk_max(1000000);
m_dbEnv.set_tx_max(70);
m_dbEnv.set_lg_regionmax(204800);
But despite of the relatively large numbers of lockers and transactions, I’m getting :
com.sleepycat.db.DbException: Not enough space: Not enough space
On: com.sleepycat.db.Db._open(Native Method)
I want to know from lack of what resource the “Not enough space” is thrown?
Is it because of cachesize/ lockers/ locks/ lockObjects or may be something else.
Some statistics: when the error happened the whole BDB size was 5284880 bytes
While I’m running now with 5546186 bytes and no error occur.
Please advice what can be done to find the problem?
If it seems like a memory leak – please advice, on how it can be found.
Thank you in Advance

Hi,
The "Not enough space" error is corresponding to ENOMEM - 12, that's described here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/db_faq.html#8
This error indicates that some resource has been exhausted. There are several ways to find out what is causing this error:
1) Configure the Berkeley DB error stream, which can be done like this:
dbenv->set_errfile(dbenv, stderr);
If you don't have a database environment handle, you can call this on the database handle:
db->set_errfile(db, stderr);
With this, you should see a message explaining what resource has been exhausted.
2) Run the db_stat utility:
db_stat -e -h /path/to/databases
Usually you can solve the problem by configuring the lock limits ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/lock/max.html ) -- they are often what runs out, or the cache size ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/am_conf/cachesize.html ).

When backing up iPhone 5 to iTunes get message not enough space on computer

On backing up iPhone 5 to iTunes keep getting message "iTunes could not back up "M iPhone" because not enough space on this computer."
There is actaully 125 Gb free on computer. Have run repair disk permissions through Disk Utility
Any suggestions please?
Thank you

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.
