Unable to Update Project Thumbnail - Disk May Be Full

When I open iMovie, all of my projects have an alert message indicating "Unable to update thumbnails for project 'XXXXX.rcproject'. Your disk may be full." Thankfully when I say OK to each alert message my project thumbnails do appear and each project appears to be ok. Any thoughts on how to get rid of the alert messages?
Thanks

I have had the same issue, but it does not appear that others have answered. Wondering if you have received any answers independently? I have an Elgato 250 plus and an iMac 27" computer for background. I also sent a query to Elgato last evening - no response as of yet though.
"I have successfully recorded through my eyeTV 250 plus older home movies that had been recorded in several formats (VHS tapes, 8mm cassette tapes, some DVDs where I recorded some old tapes via a Panasonic HDD, and in some cases I had to use the Master DVD RAM disks as some of the original tapes were degraded. They transferred successfully as eyetv recordings.
Next I exported these to iMovie. In total there were 90 recordings that I made. Most transferred satisfactorily and were ok. But a total of 16 gave me an error message as follows (one example):
"Unable to update thumbnails for project '1996-09_ PMHS Soccer - Roberto - PMHS vs Western Wayne - September 3, 1996.rcproject'. Your disk may be full."
The disk is not full as I have some 800gb of total disk space. I do not know if it is due to a recording issue or choices made when exporting or an iMovie issue. I have not been able to find any on-line similar issues published, so I am exploring this issue with you as well as Apple in parallel. I also recall seeing another error message once referring to "quartz video card??".

Unable to update "users" ipod, disk could not be read from or written to??

Ok, so my first shuffle dies and I send away for a new one. This new one doesnt work, so after doing the 5 R's I get to where iTunes and Windows explorer both recognise the ipod....
Now my problem is:
When I go to transfer music onto the ipod through itunes i get the msg in the subject feild ^^^. After much reading and updating drivers etc I finally have found a hard way to get music on there, this requires selecting 'keep this ipod in the source list' option. From there the songs i had enqued to be loaded on will load after I eject and then re connect my ipod.
Does anyone know how to simply get rid of that msg so i can go back to easily draging and dropping songs from the library straight on???
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I fixed this problem with my Shuffle! Here’s what worked for me. During install, Apple asked me what to call my Shuffle. Like a fool, I gave it a name like, “Jim’s iPod”. Dumb. I forgot about using forbidden characters enforced by Windows, especially for removable flash drives (which is what the iPod really is). That stupid apostrophe is what did it for the unit. After a while, iTunes couldn’t find a drive with an unrecognized character. Simple.
This is what I did (Windows XP machine):
1.) Go to your Windows machine’s control panel and use the “Add or Remove Software” function to uninstall iTunes (don’t worry, your playlists will all come back when you re-install the Apple software)
2.) Also uninstall the iPod drivers and any updaters
3.) Restart Windows (it’ll make you do this anyway)
4.) Once your up an running, plug-in the iPod to the usual USB port and then open up “My Computer”. Browse over to the drive designation for the iPod. It’ll just be listed as a flash drive at this point, with your goofy name (Jim’s iPod).
5.) Find the iPod listed as a removable drive and format it (yep, blow it away, wipe it clean, yes, be sure you’ve got the right drive). Remove the iPod from the USB port when finished!
6.) Re-install the software from your Apple Shuffle CD
7.) Re-start your computer as it indicates
8.) Start iTunes and verify it’s working.
9.) Plug in your Shuffle to the USB port. Apple will see it as a blank drive and then ask you what you want to call your iPod. Here’s the important part: give it a name without any forbidden characters (?’/-.:”, etc.). A single word would be even better. THIS IS THE DRIVE’S NAME TO WINDOWS!
I did this and my Shuffle is now no longer moving toward the trash can. Music once again!

HT201210 iphone 4 software update issue because disk using is full even though saving to iCloud

Trying to update an iphone 4 from 5.1.1 to 6.1.3 and keep getting an error message at the end saying the disk you are attempting to use is full. The phone has been synced and has room available but for some reason the software won't update. Suggestions?

Is this an over-the-air update, or are you updating through iTunes? If you are using iTunes on your computer you need about 3 GB free on your C: drive (Windows) or your Macintosh HD (Mac). If you are updating over the air the iPhone also needs about 3 GB free. All of this memory is not needed after the update is complete, but it is "working storage" during the update process.

When I try to save downloads directly to a folder in Documents I get this error message "Word cannot save or create this file. The disk may be full or write protected." I can only save to the Desktop.

Any ideas on how to save a download to a document folder? I have tried to "save as" and "move to" documents from the desktop, but the same message appears. Please help!

Yes! Your question prompted me to explore the Finder...I can move folders and files around to place docs where I want them to be. Thank you so very much! Is this the only way to move downloads to documents?

Error message" The file may be damaged or corrupted -1610153464/ also unable to open projects in the background 26:: 142

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I am using AE CC/Windows 7 on a Dell computer, 32 GB RAM, 64 bit op system, processors: Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU x5670 @ 2.93 Ghz 2.93 Ghz (2 processors).
So far I had worked on many projects with no problems and then a few weeks ago the project crashed non stop. The problem was overcome when I got rid of all MP3s and converted them to RAM. Again this was an issue I didn't have in the past and I don't recall changing anything.
Now it seems it is impossible for me to export/render out a project into a Quick time file or even AVI. If its quick time I get this message: After Effects unable to render error an output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted -1610153464 and if I am trying to export with AVI I get this message: AE unable to open projects in the background 26:: 142)
This is happening with different projects.
I read the forums and heard that the problem may be a Bug with quicktime and H.264? I never had a problem with it before but again when I try to export AVI I get this error message:
AE unable to open projects in the background
I have a feeling it is quick time related. I have uninstalled and reinstalled QT but still get the problem. It will open old QT files no problem. I tried to download a bug fix update as one post suggested but I think I have the latest which is why it didn't work.
This particular project has a couple of quick media H.264 files. Do I need to convert them? Are they the cause for all of this?
I am sorry I really tried to look for answers in the forums before contacting you here but I cannot find a reason for all this mess, which again only appeared a few weeks ago with no problems for months...if someone can point out an area where I can start looking, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

update: I converted all the H.264 footage which were in the project to WMV. And I was able to test export with AVI and it turne dout fine (like 10 seconds). However I still got the Error message: "After Effects unable to render error an output module failed, a filme may be corrupted or damaged. Error-1610153464 " when I tried to export H.264 QT..
I don't know what to do now, how can a problem which did not exist suddenly come up. How can I export a QT file? with AVI it will be massive!
Many thanks
Amanda

How do I retain my apps after I change my apple ID? Right now I'm unable to update any of the apps with the old apple ID. I get an error message about an invalid id or password. If I delete my apps and start over, I may lose the apps that I purchased...

How do I retain my apps after I change my apple ID? Right now I'm unable to update any of the apps with the old apple ID. I get an error message about an invalid id or Password. If I delete my appos and start over, I may lose the apps that I purchased (like the ones for $5 +....

Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.

Unable to format partition, disk may be damaged

I was experiencing a problem with my Windows XP installation on Bootcamp. The Windows side kept restarting, and I could not find the reason, so I formatted with the Windows XP disc and tried to re-install it, but it didn't work. I forget the exact error as to why. So I went back to the Mac side and re-formatted the partition sing Bootcamp, and now when I try to re-install the Windows XP on the Bootcamp partition, I get the error:
Unable to format partition, disk may be damaged
What can I do? I don't understand, because this disk has worked before and I am on the mac side right now, so the actual disk does not appear to be damaged. What can I do?

Do a full format as it will check for errors and mark bad clusters if it finds any (full format = quick + chkdsk /x ), but only create one OS partition e.g like 30GB or something , this will be plenty enough for the os ,instead of the whole drive . Will save you time .
Wait with partitioning the rest of the drive as an extra partition until the OS is installed using diskmanagement .
Also make sure sata-dma is enabled in bios .

Hi,
Did you talk about the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Sync tool ?
If yes, this issue occurs if one or more of the following conditions are true:
An object in the on-premises Active Directory has an SMTP address that's the same as the SMTP address of the object that's reporting the problem.
An object in the on-premises Active Directory has a mail attribute that's identical to the object that's reporting the problem.
An object already exists in your organizational account and has the same SMTP address or mail attribute as the object in the on-premises Active Directory

When I go to download my iMovie to iTunes I get the following message "Unable to prepare project for publishing. That project could not be prepared for publishing because a error occurred"(disk full). What do I need to do?

When I go to share my Imovie to Itunes after a couple of hours I get the following message. "Unable to prepare project for publishing. That project could not be prepared for publishing because a error occurred(disk full)". What does this mean and how do I fix it?

This is the forum for iOS (iPhones and iPads),
I have refered it to get moved to the correct forum.
But my guess is that you have to clear space on your harddrive.
The video gets rendered when you out put it, so you will need lots of space to do so.

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question).

Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

I have recently acquired an update for my mac OX the program being the snow leopard, i have been forever inserting the disk only to have it ejected by my mac, hence, i am unable to update my system with snow leopard, what can i do, as i have just paid out money for something which

Worked like a charm and resolved my problem totally. The only issue I had is that, unlike the Computer (Mac OS). the iPad doesn't give constant visibility to what it is doing (feedback), so I wasn't initially sure it had done anything.
When I opened my emailed message with .vcf file attached, and tapped the .vcf attachment icon, I saw activity on the icon for just a few seconds, then it reverted to the original with nothing apparently happening. After about 30 seconds, the secondary menut popped up indicating the transfer of 1200 addresses would be completed, if I approved the action. Another 10 to 15 seconds then transpired before the completed Contact list appeared on the ipad. So you must be patient, if you have a large Addressbook. That's reasonable,but unexpected lack of feedback left me wondering, like so many other things on the iPad.
THank you for the assist. Apparently Apples Mac Genius people did not know this procedure, and I will pass it on to my local Apple Store Instructor.

Hello Smile_333
The article below will assist with finding things and help increase the hard drive space for your computer. The best way is to have an external hard drive to copy things to if you do not want to delete and loose things.

My iWeb Account wont update it says Can't create the file "mwmac_white.png." The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges... This has never happend I deleted other sources on website and still wont work? Suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
This is the image contained in the file causing the problem...
I certain the original is contained in the Combo updates and on the OS disks.
As a temporary fix, click on the image above to open it.
Use Screen capture (Shift+Command+4) and click on the opposite corners of the image.
It will be saved as a Screen shot 2011-mm-dd at hh:mm.png
Right click on the filename in Finder and rename it to mwmac_white.png
I'm not certain, but the file might need to be moved into the Documents directory in the Subdirectory named for the website name you are editing. That's where it is on my system, but I moved a bunch of files when I restored from Time Machine about 18 months ago.
I also have many copies of mwmac.png, a separate copy one for each web page where the image appears in my website.

Unable to Update - Disk cannot be read from or written too

Every time i got to update the music library onto the IPOD it says "The ipod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to." I have the newest version of itunes installed and i believe the ipod is up to date. The ipod is recognized in itunes and as a removable drive in my computer. I read somewhere that said reinstalling the drivers for the ipod might help fix it but as i recieved it used, I don't have the disk that comes with the ipod... any suggestions?

it's probably worth checking through the possibilities from this document:
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
