Upgrade Failure from Mac 7.9 (746) There isn't enough disk space to install Skype

Attempting to update Skype 7.9 (746) on my Mac is throwing a "there isn't enough disk spaceto install Skype" message. Any suggestions?

It means your Mac's hard disk is filled nearly to capacity.

  • Not enough disk space to install sims 2 from app store?

    I've seen lots of threads resolving the problem of there not being enough disk space when installing sims by a CD Disk, but I'm trying to download it from the app store so none of them apply.
    I have 12 GB of space free on my macbook and the application only needs 7.52 GB.
    Ideas?
    I keep getting 'not enough disk space available'.
    I can't open it from the applications folder rather than the Disk because I haven't been allowed to buy/instal it yet.

    I have cleared 17 GB of hard disk space and 11 GB of memory space.
    The requirements online when installed say 10 GB of hard disk and 4 GB of memory.
    I bought my Mac last year so I don't think my system is too old.
    Ideas now?
    When I get above 17 GB it instals but at the end of the hour long installation it again tells me it failed to download, not mentioning space .

  • Upgrade the OS from Maver to Yosemite.. message "There is no enough disk space available to install this product". Please help.

    I have 5.12gb space on my Macbook Air (Mid 2012). But when i attempt to upgrade the OS from Maver to Yosemite, i get a message "There is no enough disk space available to install this product". Please help

    You need to temporarily free up additional drive space - the Yosemite download itself is just over 5GB and then it needs more space to install it. Once the new OS is installed the installer will be deleted. Music and movie files are large and will be the most convenient files to remove to an external drive.
    On another note it isn't a good idea to try to run the computer with so little free drive space. Look for files you can offload to an external drive permanently. For example, I keep my music and movies on an external drive. You can keep a small assortment of music on the computer but save lots of space by keeping the regular media library off the computer.

    Select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (file menu ==> export) - see this user tip for export options - then be sure the card is not locked and in the finder verify available space and if it is adaquate drag that folder to it

  • Problem "There is not enough disk space ..." when transferring tracks back to compu

    Hi All,?I am recovering from a massi've hard dri've failure so no lectures about backups for my library please. I am trying to transfer all of my mp3's back from my Zen Xtra 30GB to my computer. I am using Creative MediaSource and it worked for about 800 of them but now has stopped. Now any track will report an error "There is not enough disk space at the destination for this transfer". Checking my disk, I have 6GB of space left, so I am left in the dark as to how to fix this. I can't even get an individual track. Trying to troubleshoot this on my own, I've deleted my temp files but still no luck. Has anyone here has this problem? Better yet, does anyone have a solution?Thanks all!

    and now it doesn't. 8GB free and a few more tracks to go.

  • This message may contain a virus or there is not enough disk space. Skip this message?

    I have been randomly getting the following message for example for the past couple of weeks and it seems to be getting worse:
    There was an error downloading the following message:
    From: Popular Science <[email protected]>
    Subject: The Coolest Cars We Saw At The Detroit Auto Show
    This message may contain a virus or there is not enough disk space. Skip this message?
    I have also noticed that that there is an issue when I select the option to skip the message by selecting '''Yes'''. The body of a one message is replacing the body of one of the other messages that is downloaded (i.e. body of facebook message replacing body of message from amazon). This has been seen multiple times.
    I am using Thunderbird ver. 31.4.0 on Windows 8.1 and the latest Norton Security with Backup software for my antivirus and all software has the latest updates.

    Hi. Thanks for your prompt reply. The error message is generated in Thunderbird and not by my anti-virus software. It is also specific to one email account and does not affect the others.
    I have around 40Gb unused space on my hard drive.
    The From and Subject fields in the error message contain the sender's email address and subject header respectively (these didn't show in my original email)
    I have also moved a lot of messages from mu inbox.
    I have not changed my anti-virus software (and have been using the same package for years

  • There is not enough disk space to download new messages. How can I backup my old emails onto my hard drive to create room for new message?

    When trying to download new email messages I receive an error "There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and compacting your mail folders, and then try again." I have emptied my trash, removed all the junk, deleted about 1gig worth of email and im still having problems.
    I have a ton of folders that I store all of my emails in, so that I can easily find older emails. This email has been working fine for me for about the pass 5-6 years and now I have problems. I would like to be able to back up my emails onto my hard drive so that I have them on hand. What is the best way to go about this? Because of my file structure I am not able to see all of my messages on one screen. Is there a way to select emails from a certain year?
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

    ''Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and'' '''compacting your mail folders'''
    If you did not compact the folders after marking the messages for deletion, you have not deleted anything.

    thanks for your suggestion.  that is the same advice that i got from the geek squad at the local apple store.
    i did what he instructed but it did not work.  i have since called apple support twice regarding the problem.  they had me start the computer in safe mode, going into the library and deleting a phlist file (i think) do a repair disk permissions, do a repair disk, empty the cache, and finally the last guy told me to unplug the computer from the wall socket and restart.
    when i mentioned the advice you and the apple store guy gave me they sort of poo pooed it saying that was done when they did all this other stuff.
    i am now waiting for the download to be completed to see if unplugging the computer had any effect.
    thanks again for your kindness in answering my concern.

  • I bought a game that has 16.66 GB and my computer has 30 GB free, however when I try to install it it says there is not enough disk space available.

    Whenever I try to install the game it says there is not enough disk space available. I have tried to delete things that take up space but it did not help.
    Game:Napoleon Total War

    30GB's free disk space is not enough. If you don't free up storage space soon, your Mac may not boot which is why you see the, "not enough disk space available" dialog.
    Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
    You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.

    Restart your Mac after deleting data to see a difference in storage space.

  • The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left

    The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left to import
    why? I have 53.1 Gb left and I can import the whole movie but when I broke it up into chapters to edit it will only import 2 edited chapters I don't like imovie
    anyone ??

    I just had the same problem this morning. I tried to import a 500MB mp4 into iMovie HD, and I have 9.5GB on my hard drive, but the same error message came up.
    If the 500MB mp4 file was highly compressed and iMovie converted it to DV, it's quite possible iMovie would run out of disk space.
    Although 9.5GB sounds like a lot, it's tiny when editing video. (Each hour of video is ~13GB.) When iMovie complains that it can't find the disk space it needs, it's not a good thing. Everything is put in jeopardy. Don't forget that thee Mac OS X itself needs a certain amount of elbow room. When it can't get it, big problems can occur.
    The main drive of your Mac should have at least 10-15% free disk space at all times, even AFTER iMovie/iDVD is done handling the video.

  • Receiving a "There is not enough disk space available to install the product" error in App store while I clearly have enough space?

    I am attempting to purchase Dues Ex: Human Revolution which requires 17GB to run, I currently have 27.34GB free.
    Even though I have 10GB more than the required space I still get the "There is not enough disk space available to install the product"
    Any ideas?

    HI...
    You need at the very least 15% free disk space. More if possible. Definitely not enough free space to install a 17GB app.

    And make sure your Mac meets the app's minimum requirements which according to the App Store is Mac OS X 10.7.3 or later under Information right side of the App Store window.

  • There is not enough disk space to download new messages

    I'm running 24.3.0 - this morning I was able to receive messages until a couple of hours ago and started receiving error message 'There is not enough disk space to download new messages'. I deleted over half my messages but still got error message. I rebooted - no better so I checked Help site and followed:
    "Quit Thunderbird.
    Locate the global-messages-db.sqlite file in your Thunderbird Profile .
    Delete the global-messages-db.sqlite file. "
    and the Global Database rebuilt bit I still can't receive more messages. I'm running Windows 7 and have 200GB free on my C drive. What else can I do? My email is [email protected] but since I can't receive messages, send to my gmail account, [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Phil Bowling

    First of all, make sure you do have a backup of your profile.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Backing_Up_and_Restoring
    After deleting messages you should also compact folders.
    Assuming you deleted messages from Inbox, right-click Inbox - Compact.
    You should set-up Thunderbird to automatically compact folders.

    Also accumulating messages in Inbox isn't a good idea, keep your Inbox as tidy as possible.

  • HT4527 error message:ITunes Music can't be copied because there isn't enough free space

    I tried to copy Itune library from my previous MacBook pro to the new one (Itunes 10 to Itunes11). I used an external hard-drive. As soon as I drag the Itunes music folder into Music (new computer) I get the message"The item “iTunes Music” can’t be copied because there isn’t enough free space".  I checked and do have enough space!Thanks for helping!

    I just ran into this issue moving around large VHD images. I found the cause to be local time machines backups. Time machine seems to keep backups on your local (i.e boot) drive by default, in addition to your nominated Time Machine drive. This is meant to be transparent and only consume free space, but clearly it's not smart enough to free the space when you actually need it.
    If you launch the "System Information" utility, on the "Storage" tab you should see a large portion of your primary hard-disk consumed by "Backups".
    To disable local time machine backups, run the folllowing at the terminal:
        sudo tmutil disablelocal
    This should immediately free up the space. If not, try running a Time Machine backup manually to kick it into gear. You may re-enable local Time Machine backups with the following:
        sudo tmutil enablelocal
    Hope this helps.
