When doing catalog backup get message " your system is low on disk space, and elements organizer cannot perform the operation.  If create a catalog with 20 pictures backup works OK.  backing up to a 1TB external drive.  Have 16705 pictures in catalog.  Total disk space for pictures is 192 MB.  Why am I getting message?

Total disk space for pictures is 192 MB. 
Do you really mean MB (megabytes) or GB (gigabytes) ?
Even if its GB, the free space may be enough, depending on your files size, especially with videos or raw files.
When you start the backup process, it first shows you the total size of the catalog.

  • Your system is low on disk space and elements organizer cannot  perform this operation

    your system is low on disk space and elements organizer cannot  perform this operation is the error message i keep getting. i have emptied my recycle bin and got rid of some software that i don't use and im still getting the error. Any Suggestions?

    As you might be aware, when you apply auto-fix, a new file (of almost equal size) is created on HDD. This issue might arise if you don't have sufficient hard disk space on the drive which contains the source image. Do you have enough storage space available on your HDD?

  • "Your system is low on disk space" during Backup

    Whenever I try and perform a backup, PSE 8 errors with "Your system is low on disk space, and Elements Organizer cannot perform this operation.  Try removing some fiels to free up disk space."
    The problem is that I have five disks on this system (brand new Dell i7-920 with 8GB RAM, btw), with the *smallest* amount of free space being 280GB.  I get the problem on all disks.  My system disk (c:) has 689GB of free space.
    I had this problem on my old computer, which also had plenty of free space on the traget external backup disk, but only had about 30GB free on the system disk, so I assumed it was a lack of working space on the system disk for buffering, queuing, whatever...
    My catalog is about 30,000 items, totalling about 175GB (according to PSE at the beginning of the backup process).
    Any ideas??

    Yes, I am still facing the same issue, but have long since come up with another backup scheme, and no longer require a resolution.
    Also, I only want PSE to update photos and only photos - no video, audio or anything else.  I don't believe the built in backup function allows for that.
    Thanks anyway.

  • Elements Backup "Your system is low on disk space..."

    Hi and thanks in advance, I took my computer into a tech repair shop and they said they couldn't handle it but I needed to call Adobe.
    1. I have a 2TB 7200 RPM SATA-3G RAID (2 x 1TB HDD) (HP Model Pavillion Elite HPE-450t, 9 GB SDRAM
    2. Using Adobe Elements 9.0 have never had a problem backing up onto an expansion drive.
    3. Now I get the following: Your system is low on disk space and Elements Organizer cannot perform this function. Try removing some files to free up space."
    4. I have about 500 GB free on my C drive and my back up files are about 500 GB. I have lots of videos and scanned photos.
    5. How can I back up and what can I do in the future as I plan on continuing archiving large files.
    THanks for any help.

      You could think about purchasing an external hard drive. They have now come down in price and often start with 1Tb or 2Tb of storage. Some even come with a fast fire wire connection for fast transfer.
    Make a full back up (Ctrl+B in Organizer)
    You can then make periodic incremental backups which will be much quicker.
     

  • Your system is low on disk space

    I have a Dell running Windows 7. The system and programs is on a 200 GB solid state drive with about 50 GB free which is my C drive. The photos and videos are on a 2 TB hard drive with 1 TB free which is my D drive. I am trying to do a routine backup to an external 2 TB drive which has 1.5 TB free but I get the message "your system is low on disk space and Elements Organiser cannot perform this operation".
    I have backed up before when the catalogue was about 100 GB but it is now about 180 GB. I created a test catalogue with just a few photos in and that backed up without a problem.
    Can anyone help? Is PSE trying to create a large temporary file on the C drive so that is the problem? If so, what is the solution?

    I was able to do an incremental backup.  Having done that I had another try at a full backup and it worked!
    I tried everything every other possibility suggested by forums without success and it seems to be an issue others have so it's worth a try for them. It clearly was nothing to do with system resources so that was a waste of very many hours.

    into that for a couple of years.

  • I keep getting message "Your MacOs X start-up disk has no additional room for application memory"

    I continue receiving the following message on both my iMac and MacBookPro:  "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using." I started getting these messages, on both computers, during the same week.
    I have over 500 GB free space on my iMac HD and 4 GB RAM. On my MBP, I have 472 GB  free on my hard disk and 8 MB RAM. BOth are running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Any ideas what is going wrong here?

    By way of further explanation, your computers each sometimes require the use of Virtual Memory whenever the RAM is fully in use.  The Virtual Memory is actually unused space on your harddrive where the computer temporarily store data since the RAM is full.  To be effective, your harddrive, or more correctly, the partition that OSX is installed on should have at least 15% Free Space to be used as Virtual Memory.
    If you have multiple partitions on your harddrive, it is possible that the partition that OSX is on is too small in storage capacity and so you lack adequate Free Space on that partition to be used as Virtual Memory. Thus you get the Warning Message.

    Windows right?
    Likely your not the administor any more, the botnet is.
    Check on this site really quick if your part of a botnet
    http://botnetchecker.com/
    All clear? Hopefully. Backup your files to a external drive, cd or dvd, USB keye etc off your computer.
    Run the sfx file on this site and it will burn to a cd.
    http://www.avira.com/en/support-download-avira-antivir-rescue-system
    Next hit your BIO's key and set the cd to boot first, run the scanner and see what it pops up.
    If your all clear then create another Admin, transfer your files over from the first Admin.
    See if that works, eventually when your totally over to the new Admin, delete the old one.
    If you can't create a new Admin, find out who locked your machine down, like your parents or it's a school computer?
    Likely installed spyware or "nanyware" to watch you.
    Hope that works.

  • When I open my iMac, I get this message - Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory.  ???????

    When I open my iMac, I get the following message :  Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory.  Then it says to quit applications not in usw and to close windows and remove files from startup disk.  It lists Safari, email and Finder.  I force a quit on all applications yet the same message comes up every time I open an application.  What do I do to get rid of this once and for all?  The computer is not even two years old and is only used for email and Safari.  Help will be greatly appreciated,

    The message has nothing to do with low disk space.
    There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
    A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
    Not enough memory for your usage pattern
    Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
    When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
    View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
    Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
    "Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command: 
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the  leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

  • Downloaded version 10, when I log on it wants to restart all the time. It has shut down and restarted at least 10 times and the same message still comes up "Your system has to be rebooted." and when you do the same message comes up?

    Cannot logon to Firefox now that version 10 has been installed. I cannot even delete the program from my system. To delete it gives the same message "Your system has to be rebooted" What is going on?

    Hi Cot230tage,
    Usually the only reason it will ask you to reboot is if there is a file that must be modified that the updater doesn't currently have access to. You should try running the Firefox program once as Administrator:
    * Right-click the icon and choose ''Run as Administrator''
    If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
    # Download a fresh copy of Firefox from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/fx/ Mozilla download page] and save the file to the desktop.
    # [[Uninstalling Firefox|Uninstall]] your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before running the new installer.
    # Run installer
    Remember that you don't want to remove personal data when uninstalling. That way you'll still have your personal information.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps. On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory, and it's based our Mail, the only app not updated. Ideas?

    Maverick and Your System message
    I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps (Pages, Aperture, iPhoto, Numbers & iMovie, too) in the process.
    On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory message. But it's not Calendar, it's Mail that not only won't open, but when it does now, it takes the entire system out with it.
    I open Safari, and it works. I open Firefox, and it works and Safari still works. I open Calendar and it works, Safari and Firefox continue to work. I open Reminders, and everything still works.
    I open Aperture, and it opens Finder instead, showing the 3.5 update that was installed two days ago (and Aperture has functioned), but doesn't seem to update the app; after about 20 seconds the update disappears and I can now open Aperture and it shows I'm now opening the updated Aperture, which it didn't show before.
    I click on Mail, and the cursor spins for ten minutes. The mail window finally opens, but the cursor spins and does not connect to upload new mail, and I finally Force Quit Mail. Since the Maverick update, even though Mail was not updated (and maybe because Mail was not updated), I have been able to receive emails twice, and then the program crashed.
    Besides the Aperture app, Pages didn't fully update on the iMac, and I had to remove the old Pages icon from the dock after the new program loaded up from Applications.
    Any ideas?

    trying to download itunes and keep getting message 'the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation' and therefore cant download - any ideas

    Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
    Does that go through any better for you?
