Can't find college lectures on iPod to delete so I can free up some space!

My iPod nano is full, but has over 26 hours of college lectures from iTunesU that need to be deleted.  I can see these lectures on the iPod screen, but when I hook it up to my computer, I can't find the lectures anywhere to delete them.  Only a music library shows for the iPod and the lectures aren't in there.  I've tried everything, but can't find them to delete them!  Can anyone help with this?

Alexy,
The Application Data folder is hidden by default on WinXP.
In the Windows File Explorer, use Tools > Folder
Options... Then switch
to the View tab, In the Advanced Settings list at the bottom,
open the
"Files and Folders" folder, then the "Hidden files and
folders" folder,
then select "Show hidden files and folders".
HTH,
Randy

  • HOW WILL I BACK UP MY ITUNES LIBRARY TO HARDDRIVE SO I CAN FREE UP SOME SPACE IN MY MAC?

    Hi!
    My mac is running low in memory space and mostly of the bigger occupants of my laptop are my music collection. Therefore, i want to back it up or transfer it to my external hard drive so i can free up some space. And just play it when connected to my external hard drive. How will i do it?
    Also is there a short cut for deleting duplicate songs in my itunes.
    Please help thanks.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    Note that moving your library to another drive is not "backing up".  Backing up is making a second (or more) copy of your files onto another drive because you know that some day, without warning, your hard drive will suddenly refuse to work or get stolen and you will be sooo happy you spent the $100 in getting a backup drive which will have saved all your files (such as irreplaceable photos).

    I would do it manually.  As you can see from turingtest2's post, some duplicates are not really duplicates.

  • I have a iphone 3GS and approxiamtely 4 gigs of spaces is taken up by the other categoy. How can I find out what is being stored in the other section to free up some space.

    Can anyone provide some insight on the problem that I am experiencing?  I have an IPhone 3GS.  Four of the 8 total gigs are taken up in the other category. I have attempted to delete apps numerous other things to free up space;  however, I cannot determine why so much of the device's capacity is taken up in the other category.  How can I find out what is stored in the other category to free up some of the device's storage capacity.

  • I am trying to restore an older iPod Touch, but do not have the passcode.  I am getting an error message saying that I need to free up some space, but I cannot because I don't have the passcode and have never synced this device to my account.  Help..

    I am trying to restore an older iPod Touch, but do not have the passcode.  I am getting an error message saying that I need to free up some space, but I cannot because I don't have the passcode and have never synced this device to my account.  Help..

    If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation

    Simple way to make HDD free space is delete files you don't need anymore.
    Or get bigger drive and external HDD case, then:
    1) install bigger HDD in external drive case.
    2) connect external drive and format and mount it with Disk Utility.
    3) make clone with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!(source drive is internal HDD, target drive is external one).
    4) install external bigger drive into your Macbook Pro.
    In the cace if your're using Mac Pro:
    1) get bigger HDD and install it in drive bay of Mac Pro.
    2) format and mount it with Disk Utility.
    3) make clone with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!(source drive is old HDD, target drive is new one).
    4) Select boot drive to new bigger one.

  • Can anyone tell me how to delete previous "keep file" files? Im trying to free up some space on my mac.

    Can anyone tell me how to delete previous "keep file" files? Im trying to free up some space on my mac.

    You can upgrade to Mavericks free, just run the App Store program and search for Mavericks. But before you do upgrade I recommend the following:
    1) make sure you have a recent backup. TimeMachine is fine.
    2) Mavericks is somewhat more memory hungry than 10.7 was. You will need 4 GB of RAM and I strongly recommend 8 GB.
    Go back to the Apple menu and select About this Mac - look under the OS info you just looked at. You'll see how much RAM your computer has now. Then click on the More Info button. There you will see your computer info listed as in: iMac, 21.5" mid 2010, for example. Return back with that information and we can tell you how far the computer can be upgraded.
    If you decide to procede and you have enough RAM upgrading to Mavericks is quite simple. Click on the download button and let it do its job.

  • I keep getting this message, I decided to delete whatever I can to free up some space. Then I get my few GBs I have left on the startup disk. Then after a day, I get the message again. I check the startup disk size and notice I have "zero kb" left. ??????

    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    Restart your Mac after freeing up disk space then check Stoage again.
    Another way to view avialable space:
    Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
    In the Get Info panel you'll see:  Available & Capacity
    Again, make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

  • How can I add some space between each tab in JTabbedPane?

    I added some tabs in a JTabbedPane and want to add some spaces between each of them. How can I do this?

    There are different questions, aren't they? if you ask how to move a component to the right, and get an answer,
    then ask how to move it lower, it may seem to be a different question,
    but the concept is the same, and the answer would almost certainly
    be the same (with a tweak). Basically you should be smart enough to work
    out how to move it lower for yourself.
    if you don't understand the how concept of my response in the linked post
    relates to this post, then you're in the wrong game.
    to make it easier for you to understand
    set your own UI, overriding calculateTabHeight(..), setting whatever you want
    set your own UI, overriding paintTab(..), setting whatever you want for rects[..].x
    having pointed you to the area where you do this stuff, you should have been
    smart enough to work it out for yourself.
    at some point you will have to take your feet off the desk.

  • When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes, a lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this and how can I get rid of it to free up some space?

    When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes and click on my iPod, I can see a graph showing how much space is available on my iPod and what it is being taken up by.  A lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this? I have a big iTunes library, with about 2000 songs, so I don't want all this space taken up by something I don't know what it is. How can I get rid of it?

  • Just bought a airport time capsule because my mac book pro start up disk is full. How can I put stuff onto the airport now from the MacBook Pro to free up some space?

    Yes, look in your Finder's sidebar under Shared, you should see the TC there. Connect to it using whatever password you set up when you first configured the TC, and then you can move files into the shared volume.
    Don't forget that only one copy of a file is not a backup, so ideally you would have a second copy of your files somewhere else.

  • Now that I have backed up, can I delete items from my desktop? One of the reasons I got the time capsule was so that I could free up some space on my computer. I am confused about whether the backup will one day remove my photos/video

    I purchased a 2TB time capsule yesterday. I set it up as a router and did the backup no problem. I then navigated the backup folder and found that all my photos/video that I am nervous about losing are on there. So far so good.
    Taking a step back, the reason I bought the time capsule was 1.) I needed a router 2.) I have a mac and 3.) I am running out of disk space on that mac (I shoot and cut a lot of video and have years of high quality pictures on my mac hard drive)
    Can I now delete them from my mac computer to free space? I have used standard external disk drives in the past, but the whole "Back Up" piece of things has me confused. I love the idea of backing up my computer so I want to keep that functionality, but will the drive still function as a static external hard drive? Or do I need to move that material in seperately as a folder outside of the backup folder?
    I am nervous that if the backup overwrites information as the disk space becomes limited that in 10 years when I fill this drive up, that I will lose all of my photos that are part of the backups that I am running now.....
    Or worse, I am nervous that if I remove things from my mac right now, that the next time that a back up is performed that it will lose this data as it is not currently on the device I am backing up? How does this work?
    I apologize, the back up is a very new concept to me and I want to make sure I do not goof anything up.

    That's an entirely different thing from backups.  A backup is an extra copy, in case the original is lost or damaged.   Additional space is just that -- more space for originals.
    While it's possible to use the same disk (such as the TC's internal HD) for both things, it's dangerous -- when (not if) something happens to the TC, you risk losing the originals that are on it.   To be safe, you need (at least) two copies of everything important, in (at least) two different places.  
    Many (including me) recommend at least three copies (originals plus 2 backups).  While it's not common for the Mac's hard drive to fail about the same time as the backup drive, it does happen.  There are several threads here where it did, and very expensive data recovery was needed, but in some cases everything was lost.
    So as the others recommend, getting an external HD for the stuff there isn't room for on your Mac is one solution for not having enough space.  But you might explore getting a larger internal HD.   If possible, that might be bettter.
    Then, also get another external, for "secondary" backups, so you're doubly protected.  If you get a portable model, you can take it offsite for even better protection.  See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details and some suggestions.
    Can I now delete them from my mac computer to free space? I have used standard external disk drives in the past, but the whole "Back Up" piece of things has me confused.
    You're not the first or only one. 
    There are different types of backup apps, so there are different answers for the different types.
    As the others have posted, Time Machine will, sooner or later, delete it's backup copies of things that are no longer on your system.  Depending on how long the original was there and when backups were run, that can be in as little as 24 hours, or as long as there's room.   So no, don't take the chance with data that's important!
    Is there helpful information on how to add an external drive to your backup set up?
    See the green box in #2 of the FAQ article.  All you have to do is format it for a Mac and remove it from the exclusion list.
               Once I set it up, will I need to leave the hard drive plugged into my mac in order for the data to be backed up?
    It can only be backed-up while it's connected.
               If I do, and a back up is performed without the hard drive attached to my computer, will it remove the backup of  what was on the hard drive
    No (unless you leave it disconnected until Time Machine starts deleting old backups).
    It will back up the external when it's connected, and not complain if it isn't.

  • I have one icloud acount with my phone and ipad on it.  I want to make a new ipad account so I can free up storage space on my phone and put the ipad on its own ipad account

    I have one Icloud account for my iPhone 6 plus and my ipad.  I have no stoage left.  So if I set up an Icloud account for the ipad it will have its own storage then I can take it off and open up some storage on my phone. 

    In case you're not clear - iPad/iPhone storage, and iCloud storage, are totally separate. Buying more iCloud storage does not give you more storage space on your device. Your device has a fixed storage space for apps and data (e.g., 16GB - which is more like 12GB in real terms). iCloud storage just allows you to store more documents, mail, photos, etc, in the cloud.
