Error 34, disk full?

It looks like a NAS issue. I have a new Airport Extreme Basestation with a Buffalo RAID 5 USB drive attached. iTunes keeps giving me the same -34 error saying the drive is full (I have 392GB free). I haven't been able to "fix" this yet. Audio tracks download fine, only certain video files seem to be problematic.

Same issue here...using OS X Server as well. It seems to only crap out on large volumes and large downloads. I tried restarting the AFP service but it doesn't have any effect.

I'm seeing the same problem with my 500gig drive hanging off my new Airport Extreme... it has 420gig free, but I'm getting "-34" errors when I try to buy videos off the iTunes store.

This wasn't the case a few days ago... and I've tried the copy/duplicate workaround, it's not helping at all. 😟

I did get a nice receipt for the things I bought, I just don't actually HAVE them... which makes it doubly wrong... 😟

Hank -- I had the same issue, it turns out that the file your duplicating may not be big enough. For me, it took a file over >800 megs to do the trick

I am having this same problem, but I don't really understand what ya'll are saying to do. I'm not very familiar with the computer terms. Please help with more english!! 🙂
Thank you all

Okay I purchased the blair witch project and I get the err 34 disk is full when I try and download it. How do I fix this? My recycle bin is empty.

I have a similar settup and I just started to get this err -34, disk full message.

I have my iTunes library on an airport disk off my airport extreme n. I have almost 200Gb of free space on that disk (and 60Gb free space on my internal disk). I have an Intel iMac running the latest system updates. I also have an Apple TV.

All was fine until about 2 days ago. Then I started to get this disk full message.

I tried logging off all other computers that were accessing that airport disk. I triend restarting the airport, the airport disk, and my iMac. I tried moving a large (1.3Gb) file into the target folder of the airport disk (ie the TV Shows/CSI folder where I was trying to add another episode). Nothing seems to work.

I notice that most of the posts in this thread are from March but that there are now several posting the problem again in the past couple of days. Has anything changed recently?

I suppose the next step is to move the library off the airport disk and back onto my iMac's disk, but for various reasons this will be difficult to do due to the size of my library, and inconvenient.

Any advise would be appreciated.

I suddenly am having the same problem. I've been using an airdisk for my itunes library and as a download destination for the past few months with no problem. Now I'm getting that same Error message.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the manner in which OS X empties its air disk's trash. It always says something like: if you trash this now it will immediately be deleted. I'm wondering if there's a kink in which iTunes still recognizes files with deleted roots as "still there," and that's why the program claims that the disk is full.

Any thoughts? If I had Norton I'd try to run that on the disk to clean it up and see if that makes any difference.

After downloading the new airport extreme update, the error=-34 issue disappeared instantly (and hopefully completely). So, I guess if you don't have that firmware... download it and see if that helps.

Well the issue is back because I have been getting the same error after downloading said update and itunes 7.3.2. Any help apple?

So I'm not very technically oriented, but I've been having the same -34 disk full problem. And what works for me is re-booting the airpot extreme base station I have it attached to. I'm pretty sure it is a network or base station issue.

I'm getting err= -34 again with the iTunes Music folder a XServe network drive.
It only happens with bigger files from iTunes store, not with music files.

Any Idea?

Unfortunately I am having the same issue here....

Using itunes with a library on hard drive connected wirelessly thru Airport Extreme Base Station (n). Small files (songs, podcasts) always download fine. Large files (tv shows, movie) will always start but not complete.

I have upgraded to all current updates for itunes, AEBSn. I have tried rebooting, rebooting, and rebooting all components repeatly. I have a 500g hard drive with 400g of free space. It appears that this is a systemic problem.

What I find interesting is that some folks have had this issue for many months (folks were having this problem on previous editions of software for AEBS & itunes). However, it appears i have had the same set-up and my issue/problems only start last week??? Hope i dont have months to wait!!!

Looking forward to a solution.

OK, I just got off the phone with iTunes support and it seems as though this must have something to do with iTunes not recognizing the whole download to external HD thing. This is the suggestion and I am trying it.
1) iTunes->preferences->advanced->reset
this will set it up to download to your internal HD
restart the computer
Once I did this (complete w/ restart) my purchases started to download
2) manually transfer files to external HD once downloaded
I am currently trying this and am confident that this will work.

I can't say I'm happy with these extra steps, but hopefully it will work.
