Adjust the amount of "free space" left on iphone using Autofill Feature

I know that there used to be a way to tell itunes how much space to leave on an ipod/iphone, but I don't see that option any more. I've looked for the info in the help sections and follow the prompts, but it's not under the device menu and then music as it says that it should be. Does anyone know where this option has gone or if it only applies to ipods and not iphones?

I believe my answer is here:
According to iTunes help, you must have the device connected, have manually manage music selected and then select the music folder under your device (iPod or iPhone) in the device pane. From there, you are given the options. According to the help topic, they are in the bottom of the music pane. It says click on the settings button.
Since I don't have manually manage music and I don't want to have to sync my music library again, I cannot test it for you, but if you go to iTunes help, search on autofill, and then select the topic Using Autofill with iPod, iPhone and iPad.
See if that helps.

  • Where do I find the amount of free space left

    The answer used to be at the bottom of the finder window you saw howmuch space was being used

    You can put that information back into the finder window with
    command - /  (forward slash).
    Equivalently, show the status bar from the Finder view menu.

  • How can I get the amount of free space that is on my drive to show at the bottom of the drive in Lion.

    How can I get the amount of free space that is on my drive to show at the bottom of the drive in Lion.
    This is a must feature for me and I may have to go back to Snow Leopard.
    Please help!

    Right click on your desktop and choose "viewer options". Adjust the spacing and the size of your icons and you should be able to see the size of your drive(s) and the free space available on each drive with the exception of your bootcamp drive which will only show the overall size of the drive you have it on.  This may be different if you only have one system drive (like on a Mac Book Pro) with a partition containing bootcamp on it. this may only show you the overall capacity, I can't say for sure though as I only use a Mac Pro with 4 seperate Hard Drives which are showing both overall capacity and free space available. Hope this helps

  • To know the amount of free space in a tablespace

    hi,
    I'm learning oracle 9i release 9.2.0.1.0 .I'd created a tablespace 'TOOLS' for being used as the default tablespace for Statspack.
    I wish to know the amount of free space available in this tablespace. For this purpose I ran the following query but there was no rows selected :-
    SQL> select tablespace_name,bytes from dba_free_space
    2 where tablespace_name='TOOLS';
    no rows selected
    SQL> select name from v$tablespace;
    NAME
    CWMLITE

    EXAMPLE
    INDX
    ODM
    SYSTEM
    TOOLS
    UNDOTBS1
    USERS
    XDB
    TEMP
    Can anyone tell the reason for this.

    I tried your query
    SQL> select TABLESPACE_NAME,
    2 sum(BYTES) Total_free_space,
    3 max(BYTES) largest_free_extent
    4 from dba_free_space
    5 group by TABLESPACE_NAME;

  • How to limit the amount of disk space Time Machine will use?

    On Yosemite, how do you limit the amount of disk space Time Machine will use?
    I'm using a Seagate Goflex Home 2tb drive connected to my router as a Time Machine backup drive.  I use this for three things 1)Time Machine 2) an occasional backup of  windows document subdirectory  3) backup of music and photos for long term storage.   Doing something like re-partioning the drive is not an option.  I'll just go buy another drive for time machine's sole use. In addition, using software from Seagate is not an option.  I don't want to use their software for different reasons (mainly the GoFlex home is really designed as a "media server"  which I don't use.  I, of course, use iTunes. ) On the Mac, I'm only using about 250GB total but time machine is rapidly using up space.
    Apparently using a terminal command like below, used to work,  but no longer works under Yosemite.
    For a limit of 100gb the number below would be 100 x 1024
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize 102400
    To remove the limit, use the following command:
    sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize
    Now, I'm not too familiar with terminal and I'm not about ready to issue a command without knowing exactly what it is going to do.
    Is there an easier "switch" someplace or an app that does this?
    If I don't limit the size, at some point there will not be any space left for windows backups and additional photo and music files.

    Hmm- added "sudo" and there was no error reported:
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize xxxxxx
    I guess we'll see.

  • How to quickly assess the amount of free space on a hard drive or memory stick?

    Before Mavericks there used to be a little reading in the bottom of a finder window telling you how much space was available in whatever drive you were currently viewing, now i have to click get info every time, is there a quicker way?

    You may have the Status Bar hidden Peter.  With the Finder open, click on View in the menu bar and then select Show Status Bar.  You should now see the space available for a selected drive at the bottom of the Finder window.

  • Is there any way in Finder I can get the window to show the amount of free space on a selected drive?

    I am not a fan of all the changes they have made to finder in Lion.

    Sorry, I didn't know this was so old when I replied. I hope it was helpful anyway.
    Go to desktop, click on hard drive, command+I or File ... Get Info.
    Then you will see the info for that drive and listing the available space.

  • Finder showing wrong amount of free space on Macintosh HD

    Hi!
    Does anyone know why Finder tells me that the amount of free space on my Mac is 46.53 GB while Disk Utility says there are only 31.89 GB of free space left?

    Just found the solution in another thread: the "problem" seems to be the local Time Machine Snapshots. Finder ignores them, Disk Utility doesn't.

  • Lenovo ix4-300d free space left

    Hello, I have an Lenovo ix4-300d, 8TB. My free space on the servers tells me that there is left 3.8TB, when I look in my Share there is almost no space left. What can I do to get more space in my shares? Now I receive the following message: The amount of free space on your Lenovo ix4-300d is below 10% of your total capacity. And that should not be the case!? What can I do? Thanks for a reaction, PPU
    PPU

    I am sorry but I am not sure what you are referring to by MIB, are you trying yo use Management Information base to monitor free space? Can you please explain more what you are trying to do? 
    You can manage the free space through LenovoEMC storage manager and we UI. You can even set it up to email you when you are running out of free space.

  • Erratic amount of free space on my hard drive...

    Can someone please tell me if they think this is strange, or should I not worry about it.
    About a week ago I had 520 gigs of free space on my hard drive (its a 1 TB drive). I decided to defrag it simply because it had been a long time since I had done so. That went off without a hitch. I did not even think to check if the amount of free space had changed afterwards. I then decided to use Disk Utility to 'Erase Free Space'. That ran fine, but afterwards I was shocked to see that I now had 605 gigs (!!!) of free space, meaning either the defrag or the erasing of 'Free Space' freed up some 85 gigs (). Okay, strange I thought, but no complaints here. A couple days went by and I happened to glance at the free space and WOAH, its dropped back down to 570, even though I've added, AT MOST, 5 gigs of photos, music etc. Is it me or does this seem really strange...? Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this, reasoning etc...
    Much appreciated
    Adam

    Hi A,
    The used and free space amount are subject to some considerations as use and approach to data storage, here is a link to a previous question about it with reference to two other related posts http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12743931#12743931
    It is also curious that when you create and save a data file it will report a different size once you open and save it again even without changing contents.
    Good luck, K.

  • How to read the amount of free memory available?

    I need a tool to tell me the amount of free memory left, at any given time. I want to tell my user in advance, and as the experiment proceeds, how much experiment time can remain before we will run out of memory. Yes I know, in a more perfect world the data would be written to disk and not stay in memory; but for now this solution would really help.
    Please be clear: I'm not looking for the performance profiling tool. I need something that will tell my program, at runtime, how much memory is left available to it. Is there any such tool?
    Thanks,
    Ken

  • It says I've got 12,3 GB free space left, of my total 25GB. But my iPhone tells me there is no more space to take pictures or download stuff. It clearly says I have 12,3 GB left. What's the issue here??

    The issue is probably space on the phone, not in your iCloud account.  (Space in your iCloud account does not give you more space on your phone.)  Check Settings>General>Usage at the top to see how much available space you have.  If it's low, you'll have to delete or sync something off our phone to make room for more.

  • How Can I Get the Amount of Free Disk Space Using space using windows 7 please share example using GetDiskSpace

    How Can I Get the Amount of Free Disk Space  using windows 7 please share example using GetDiskSpace i have already studied http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9958B8E473C4EF1786256BBC0053B64F

    Reading your question a bit more in detail, I doubt whether you are using Win32 API GetDiskFreeSpace function (for which my previous post is the solution) of Programmer's Toolbox GetDiskSpace function.
    With reference to the second one, it works even with disks larger than 2GB but you need to use the proper formatting code to display the returned value. I updated my example to show total free space in the debug output window and added a comparison with 3GB value using UInt64TypeCompareUInt from the Programmer's Toolbox.

  • Finder showing incorrect amount of free space

    After the recent Mountain Lion update, my Finder now shows an incorrect amount of free space.
    I have a 500GB hard drive, and I have about 150GB free.
    After the update, finder says I have 478.4 GB free?
    That looks like the total capacity, after you account for system software. I've done a PRAM and SCM reset, disk verification and repair, but still no joy.
    Any thoughts? Is it a bug in the update?

    Here is the answer....

    Re: Hard drive available space shown incorrectly in finder Jan 12, 2012 7:35 PM (in response to ilari Korte)
    This is probably like the issue that I was having on my MacBook Pro. If you are using Time Machine on a laptop it stores the diffs in a file on your hard drive. This action can be disabled with the terminal command
    sudo tmutil disablelocal
    This turns the local Time Machine off. It is up to you if you want to do this, but Finder shows this space as unused since it can be overwritten when needed. It saved me over a hundred GBs of space.
