Not enough space

We have an iMac and MacBook 2 backup on a capsule 3 TB. It now says not enough space. Should it not be automatically delete older backups to free up space. I have to start over and do a back up of all three computers?

About alert TM "Backup Drive is full"

TM only deletes older files if they have been removed from the source and when TM needs space on the backup to a new incremental backup drive. Time Machine "Jules Destrooper" its backups. over 24 hours, old backups, except the first of the day; These "dailies", old more 30-day backups, except the first day of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there is room.

So, how long a backup rest file depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming that you do at least one backup per day. If she was there for less than 24 hours, it will be maintained for at least a month. If she was there at least a week, it will be maintained as long as there is room.

Note that, on a Time Capsule, the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but not descended. View of the user of the TC so it seems that no space was released, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.

Once TM has found that it cannot free enough space for new backup it reports the disk is full. You can erase the backup disk and start your backup or replace the disc with a larger drive.

  • Time Machine-not enough space error

    Hi all

    I had to unplug my computer and move it to another room and now after all hang up, I get this message "not enough space for full backup". There are about 150 GB to 2 TB disk space as it is filled with iTunes and Time machine backups.

    I guess it's because ever since I hooked everything back up Time Machine think it is made the first backup of everything rather than pick up where he left off when he made the last backup?

    Please tell me that I shouldn't let it save it for the first time again. It took an eternity to accomplish this last time as the computer kept going to sleep.

    Thanks for any help,

  • "Your bootable USB key could not be created there is not enough space available on the disk.

    I am trying to install a partition of Windows 7 with an ISO on a flash drive with Boot Camp Assistant. Everytime I try it however, I get the error "your bootable USB key could not be created there is not enough space available on the disk. The flash drive that I use for this is 64 GB, so I doubt that the issue has to do with not enough available space. I have already tried the obvious, like reformat the flash drive and retry the write.

  • Backup Restore Time Machine: not enough space

    Hi all, I am a neophyte tech so forgive me if I'm not clear. I will try to explain the problem as best I can:

    I have an old MacBook 2009 running Mountain Lion. A few months ago, my brother gave me his old Pro and so my MacBook 2009 fell by the wayside. I used an external hard drive with that old computer as my backup time machine, but as I tried to transfer a lot of documents and photos and update of dropbox and download photos of google and to understand each of these things as I went along, I totally messed up the MacBook. Just... things are weird... nothing was, where it used to be and my photos were gone and Yes, much of this is probably down to me trying to understand a bunch of new programs at once, BUT what I want to do is to restore it to the way it was using a time machine backup.

    So, I googled around and I know when I start it up until I'm supposed to press Ctrl + R and choose the backup that I want, but when it gets to the part where I select a destination and click the only option (the Mac HD), an error message appears with a yellow flag saying "this disc is not enough space to restore your system.

    Now, I don't really know what that means, but what I want to do is to get rid of the current way, this computer is completely and attach it to the way it was when I did the last Time Machine backup.

    Someone help me please... this stuff is so frustrating when I can't figure it out for me and I am sure that there is an easy solution. I read a lot about partitions etc. but I don't know what all of this means that even.

    Thank you in advance!

  • Not enough space in Runtime area. Data not available SMBios. Inaccessible BIOS

    Hello, I was trying a restore or Windows 7 install on a p6510y for a friend. Tried going into the bios to select which device to boot from.

    I hit F10, it says enter the bios or enter the configuration..., then it goes to a black screen with a blue bar at the top. The blue bar is bright blue in the middle and it fades to the edge of the screen. It is not animated. I see no text or the cursor blinking either.

    If I do not go into the BIOS, I get the message "not enough space in Runtime area. SMBios data will be unavailable"and if I hit F2 to continue, windows starts normally.

    I stripped the system down to a single stick of RAM, tried a different PSU, graphics card, vga cable, etc.. I removed the cmos battery and flies over the rider for a solid 30 mins. I can not even access the bios.

    It's a machine extremely strongly virused, I was able to install Windows 7 via disk external drive bootable. The recovery partition is still intact, although it seems empty, still too much space.

    I ran sp49851.exe in windows 7 on the machine, the installation has been apparently successfully, but the BIOS always behaves in the same way.

    I am at a loss, have spent many hours in checking these forums of discussion, does not. Is it possible for me to prepare a bootable USB key and manually install the bios? I extracted the contents of the exe to a folder but I don't know what to do next. The computer has a floppy drive port. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    I was able successfully to Flash the BIOS manually, and it behaves as it should. Here's what I did:

    I extracted the contents of my bios file (sp49851.exe), using a program called Universal Extractor.

    I renamed the file alo6.09 to bios.rom (this was the only file required)

    I followed this guide:

    http://www.BIOS-mods.com/BIOS-update/

    Make SURE you get the HP USB Disk Format Tool, they provide a link.

    Make SURE you get the BACK image they provide a link for.

    I used AFUDOS for my AMI BIOS, from which the above ROM file extension. (they provide a link to AFUDOS)

    I used the command line afudos bios.rom/p/b/n/c/e/k/q/reboot (EXACTLY) how they said.

    Went straight into the BIOS, was able to make changes. System seems to work fine. It is very important that you read all of this guide and be absolutely sure that you have the good BIOS before updating. Thanks for the help Dave!

    I have this message at the start of my laptop U500-17: not enough space in runtime area. And after that ask me to press F1 to continue, but nothing happen, and start the windows does not work. I'm trying to get into the Bios, but I have some error and nothing happen. What should I do?

    In my opinion, you need to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. I'm afraid that your BIOS is troublemaker and they should Flash the BIOS of Mr. Unfortunately, you can not do this alone.

  • Why I see Runtime Error R6016-not enough space for thread data?

    All of a sudden when I try to launch Google Chrome, I get "error R6016-not enough space for thread data? ' like Chrome stops. Plenty of hard disk, disk defragmented, no viruses or malware. Never seen this message before.

    I think you're on the right track to reinstall Chrome... but they have a method of choice for the best results and that the information is here:

    Just FYI, running sfc/scannow won't help, but it will waste your time and you will not be able to determine which file is causing the problem because...

    When sfc/scannow runs successfully, you will see a start and complete message in the Event Viewer log system.

    It can take a long time to run and slow down your system.  When it starts and stops correctly you can only see events like this in the case where the system log viewer:

    There is no information about what he did or what he did not.

    Even if sfc/scannow finds something to do, you will not know about it.

    That's why try again more than a waste of time.

  • Not enough space for DB - formatted - now FAT is corrupted

    I received an error message after the music to transfer to my Sansa Fuze.  The message indicate that there was not enough space for DB and supposed to free 90 MB.  I have read the instructions on the website and formatted the drive.  Now, I get an error message saying that FAT is corrupted and say to connect it to the PC to get FAT.  I reconnected it to the computer without modification.  Then, I downloaded the firmware zip file and uploaded the file on the disk.  Still no change.  Please notify.

    You can try the player formatting MSC mode.  To connect the player in MSC mode, with the player to the wide, slide the switch down to the locked position (you will see an orange color it), and then press and hold the< or="" back="" button="" while="" you="" connect="" the="" fuze="" to="" the="" pc.  ="" you="" may="" have="" to="" continue="" holding="" the="">< button="" down="" for="" a="" while="" until="" you="" get="" a="">

    If it formats correctly and the drive does not operate normally, reformat through the player settings to optimize the memory.

    Another thing, sometimes the 'diskspace for DB' message appears due to a bad music file (s).  You can check the files that you have transferred before the trouble began.
