Can't copy any more songs to my ipod from itunes - says its full but i have deleted heaps off my ipod to make room!

I can not seem to add any more songs to my ipod. Normally i just click and drag songs i have highlighted in my itunes folders up to the Administrators' ipod and it puts a copy there in my ipod. however i keep getting a message saying there is not enough room . . . and so can't add another song. I have deleted heaps of songs off my ipod to ensure sufficient room for these new songs i want to load but i keep failing - why would that be? Is the space not freeing up when i delete exiting music off my ipod for some reason - or any other reason?

Try rebooting your iPod with it still connected to iTunes. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
How exactly are you deleting this tracks from the iPod?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

I changed my HD "C". After reinstalling P Element 2 I got a problem. I can't open Photoshop Element. Error message is "Your working disc is full" But I have 61Go free on "C" HD and more than 1To free on "D" disc.

Try resetting the pse 2 preferences and see if that clears things up.
reset preferences
Press and hold down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after starting the launch of pse 2
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to Delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File

Connect your external drive and allow the backup to run, and the "snapshots" will be removed.

50gb free space on disk, but can't copy any more files onto disk.

Hi, I use my 120gb iPod classic to store films and tv shows on (in disk mode). these occupy round 35gb of the hard disk space and my music takes up around 30gb also. But the problem is I cannot copy any more things into the iPod (not in iTunes) in windows explorer. It says the destination disk drive is full. I have 50gb or so free! So what's going on?

The *disk full* error comes up in error if you try to copy a file that's too large for the filing system to cope with. The limit under FAT32 (which is what's on your iPod) is 4Gb so you've either got some very chunky files or this idea has nothing to do with the problem...
Can't say I recommend the iPod as a place to store anything you'd regret losing.

My start up disk is almost full, but I have deleted everything I can find - I think that when I upgraded my software it has saved the old one - anyone know how I can find and delete it?

Hi All,
Late last year I upgraded from tiger to leopard (very out of date I know) but ever since I have been getting warnings that my startup disk is full. I have deleted loads including pictures and itunes but still get the same mesage. I think when I upgraded the old version was stored somewhere and this might be causing the problem. Does anyone know where I would be able to find and delete - or alternatively have any other suggestions for what the problem may be?
Many thanks

WOW
80GB is a very small drive.
Sorry Noondaywitch, but omni disk sweeper isn't going to install in the space remaining, without more problems.
My Suggestions
1. Get a large (400GB+) USB hard drive
2. Copy all the contents of your home directory to the USB drive.
3. Delete all your files from your home directory on your computer after making sure everything transferred ok.
4. Perform a clean (destructive) install of Mac OSX and then the applications you need.
5. Check how much space you have left.
6. If there is less than 50% of the HDD space left (35GB or so), then consider replacing the HDD with a new larger one. If it's a white intel mac book, then this is very easy, and instructions how to do it are included in your 'everything else' wallet with your OSX DVDs etc.
7. If you can't replace the HDD, then it's time to consider a new machine i'm afraid.
Hope this helps

I pod says its full but i can't access anything

Hi guys
Is there anyone out there who can help. I recently had some trouble with my imac and needed a new harddrive. i backed up my files onto my fifth gen ipod and reintalled everything fine. However now my ipod thinks it isstill full I removed all my data after my computer was fixed. Nothing shows in its finder window and nothing comes up in its itunes folder but it clearly says its full on the bottom bar of itunes and when i 'get info' in the finder window.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks
darch

I suggest you send it in. Do it before something else happens. Call 1-800-275-2273 and set it up. I'd hate for you to be stuck w/ it if anything else happens to it & they won't honor the warranty.

I can't to get Download Helper to load and run, It says its there but nothing happens

Our OS is Windows Vista and we have ff v. 27 running. I try to add Download Helper and don't have any success. When I click add, It says its installed and I can get the little circle icon in the toolbar. When I open a video nothing happens. Am I not installing properly. BTW, I'm a total dummy on this computer.

I've used this extension on Youtube from time to time. An icon appears next to the title of the video, below the player, and I click that. I'm not sure how it works on other sites. (Sometimes the icon is missing, but I see a little downward pointing triangle. In that case, I reload the page.)
Does the add-on publisher offer support on its site, or just the manual and FAQ?

Hi I just downloaded movies from itunes via my ipad but they aren't synching wtih my ipod, any suggestions why it's not working? Thanks

about to get on a flight and just can't get any films to synch to the ipod I'm taking, would appreciate any help!

iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
What model iPod? The 3G and earlier can only sync/play SD version, not HD

When I click on video it is stuck on one tv show, when I click 'done' the screen goes black so I can't access any other video that I downloaded from iTunes onto my iPad 2. How do I troubleshoot?

The video on my iPad 2 is frozen on a tv show, although it will play the tv show until the end. At the end, when I click 'done' the screen goes black so I can't see the other movies that I've downloaded. I've shut down a few times but it reverts to the same thing. How can I re-set the video feature or do what is necessary to get it working again?

Have you tried resetting the iPad:
Reset iPad: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Hard drive says its full but I can only find 44G used!

I knew the day would come when I filled my 80G hard drive. But when I look at the HD space occupied by each of the files in Finder I can only account for 44G used! - where is the missing 36?
Also how easy is it to use an external hard drive for music/photos etc?
Many thanks.

You can relocate iTunes and iPhoto libraries to an
externally enclosed hard disk drive; there are some
rules and considerations, such as they go, so the
computer won't be making duplicates to its internal
hard disk drive, since you'd want to keep it slim.
A search online should yield a few fairly well founded
replies to relocating or archiving these libraries.
You may be able to view the Hard Disk Drive as a List
and see if you can find an entry for large blocks of items
that may not be otherwise noted; but this may not be a
way to go. There had been utilities to help find and fix
the issue of lost space on a hard drive.
Sometimes, a 'previous system' folder may be using some.
Or an older anti-virus program (norton) may waste space.
You may need to consider a really decent external HDD
enclosure that can support full clones of everything; be
sure the enclosed drive circuitry supports Mac OS X boot
capabilities. Then make a clone (carbon copy cloner) of
the entire contents to a prepared external drive, test it and
be sure tor repair disk permissions on the booted clone.
PPC Macs generally require FW400/800 external enclosure
devices to support OS X booting; later ones USB2.0.
And then use Disk Utility from the clone or booted install DVD
and use its Secure Erase to overwrite 7-passes of zeros over
the hard drive contents, then use the Partition Map tool to give
it a suitable partition map scheme for the hardware involved,
plus Format the drive to HFS+ Journaled, and either move the
clone back in, or reinstall a completely new system from scratch.
This may be a better way, and in the process, give the old HDD
a workout to see if it isn't just getting old and starting to fail. If so,
you could consider a larger external (partition into two, if big) and
run the computer from there, if you don't want to take apart the
iMac and replace the original hard drive with a larger/faster one.
Anyway, have fun.
Good luck & happy computing!

My startup disk keeps saying it is full but I have deleted as much as I can and emptied the trash......what do I do?

My startup disk keeps saying it is full and has done for a few moths. I have been through and deleted as much as I can, transferred movies to an external drive and emptied the trash, but it keeps coming up as full again after a while even though I haven't loaed anything else on......what do I do? It is so short of space now that it is saying there isn't enough memory to run some applications?? HELP!! I am new at all this stuff.

It sounds like a runaway process is filling up your volume.
Boot in safe mode. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Use a tool such as the one linked below to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space:

OS X: What is "other" space in About This Mac? - Apple Support
Experts here recommend Omnidisksweeper for identifying hidden files. I haven't tried it personally but try a search through the forum for more feedback on this product.
Be very careful with what application you choose regardless as many are worse than unreliable causing damage to the operating system itself. If you purchase a third party application for this venture make sure you buy it direct from the developer's website. Also make sure you have a working backup and you fully understand what it is you're deleting so you don't brick your Mac!
best of luck!
