CD storage capacity: For burning my songs

I am getting messages that I lack sufficient memory to execute any Saving actions. I moved all of my songs from my iMac hard drive to my LaCie external hard drive, but now I am considering putting them onto CDs for playing music away from my iMac.
Regarding CDs, I see that they are fairly inexpensive per disk now, but how much memory can be had on a CD? I see Memorex CDs at Home Depot -- 80 MB. Is that standard? What storage capacities are available to get?
Thank you.

Lorna,
I'm not sure how you have things set up over there
with your external hard drive and what not, but once
you put a song into iTunes, it tends to stay there
unless you have deleted it yourself.
Anyways, once you have your songs in iTunes, I would
make a new playlist, drag all the songs that you want
on the CD into the playlist, then making sure that
the playlist is highlighted...click on the "Burn"
button in the top right hand corner of the iTunes
window. That should do it. It should prompt you to
insert a blank disc and everything else.
Here is an Apple technote on the process...

James, thank you so much. I went there, read and bookmarked it and was glad that you explained about the .mp3 being for computer and the .aiff being for playing elsewhere, because I did not see any mention of that in the instructions on that instructional page. There is a choice that they offer, but no explanation which would guide one to making the right choice for what one wants, so THANKS thanks! James, tú eres un tesoso.

  • HT201318 I upgraded my iCloud storage capacity for a higher tier and the device does not actually reflects said upgrade. How can this be resolved since my credit card was charged

    I upgraded my Icloud storage capacity to a higher tier and my Iphone does not reflect the change although my credit card was charged and the device is nor properly backup. How can this be resolved?

    It seems to take up to a couple of days for the upgrade to take hold, at least that's the experience of some users.  Give it 24 hours before contacting apple.

  • Best storage capacity for a student

    Greetings everyone,
         I have the desire of buying the latest iPad in a near future and I was wondering, what storage capacity will I be needing?
    -I intend to record many classes at university
    -I intend to take pictures of the boards at university
    -I intend to use it to store documents, books, dictionaries.
    -I might get a good lot of apps and a few games(but not much)
    -I do not listen to a lot of music(100 tracks max, really)
    -I would like to have a few movies at hands(I also am subscribed to Netflix)
    Wich would be the best for me? 16, 32, 64 or 128G?
    Meanwhile, I'd appreciate if someone could give me a hint of how much space recording parts of my classes might take.
    +
    If someone was kind enough to explain to me ''***'' is 3G and Cellular?I have no idea what it could be.
    Much appreciated,
    Agesilas

    I'm happy that Demo solved your question. I had read it and waited until my younger son got home to ask him a few questions. I figure the more opinions you have, the better. And Demo has the right idea that you should buy your ipad with the most storage you can afford. That tends to be the general concensus in responses to this question.
    Our son got his ipad 2 64 gb before as he started his junior year in college this past year. At first, he quickly loaded it with music, a few movies, tv shows, apps, etc. It came to over 22 gbs. After his junior year he has used over 50 gb. He said the books do not take up much space, but the tv shows do and if he needs to, he can delete them. So it can add up fast. You want to record (video and audio?) it adds up. It will add up more quickly than simply taking photos. You might have to buy newspapers (or be given for free through your university) and they add up if not deleted periodically. Engineering projects take up space. Others might say you don't need to go too big because you can store things in the cloud. (We haven't done that here, so no opinion to offer.)
    Like Demo, our son has no idea about recording, but as Demo said,it will add up. Movies eat up the battery more quickly, so that might be an indication that your recordings will take up more space.
    So we suggest you consider the 64gb, and if you can easily afford it, and want to, consider the128 gb. (Personally, for me, the more it costs, the more I'd worry about it.)
    And FYI, at least in the USA, most colleges have wifi throughout campus, so you might not need it too often on campus. But if you can afford it, the cellular will ensure constant connectivity to the internet anywhere! And because you aren't too familiar with cellular, depending on where you live and go to school, you will pick a carrier (often the carrier for your cell phone.) And when you are out of wifi range, your phone carrier will charge you, so you might want to do some comparison shopping. 
    It's great that you have Netflix.
    Oh. Please be sure to buy a good strong case for your ipad.
    Reseach independent reviews (esp. re storgage given the price,) and don't hurry to make a decision until you're sure.
    Whatever you decide, enjoy your ipad and your years at university!

  • How to increase storage capacity for STAT logs

    Hi all ,
            We are taking logs using the command STAT for observing users activities.(Here we can find the users activities only for 3 days).
    1. I want to store one month period STAT logs ? how can and where can I change the memory settings to change the storage capacity?
    (like to increase system log size we can edit rslg/store----- parameter. Like this way where can I change the settings to store one month period STAT logs)
    Please kindly help on this.
    Regards,
    nani

    I don´t think it´s possible.
    Storing everything for one month will, depending on user activity, produce a HUGE amount of data you won´t be able to evaluate, just because of its size.
    What do you want to achieve with that?

  • Suggestion for a new macbookair flash storage capacity for dual OS

    I'm planning to buy my first MBA. I'll work using logic pro and office for mac. But I also have one app that need run on win7. This app size is max 200mb.
    To keep my final working file, I plan to buy external storage.
    My question, looking at my work needs, pls advise what is the ideal flash storage size I should pick ? Is it 128, 256 or 512Gb ? Ideal for me means, not overcapacity flash storage.
    Tx all

    Hi Dikanug,
    Out of interest, so I can further select the best capacity of Flash Storage, how many document do you plan to save on the computer using Office and how often are you going to use Logic Pro?
    This will help determine the best capacity.
    Obviously the Logic Pro files will need to stay on the Mac however it is probably cheeper to have a Small Flash Storage and store any file that does not need to be on the actually Macintosh Drive, stored on a large external Hard Drive with files such as Office files.
    Obviously the Logic Pro files will be anywhere from 10mb -up and therefore this will be needed to be taken into consideration when purchasing the Flash.
    Just for your sake: 14 tracks of audio, 10 of which are drums and a song that is about 5 minutes long, could be at least 25mb in file capacity.
    Remember once you have bought the device you cannot make the capacity bigger and thereofre it is better to have more than not enough however do not waste your money if you do not need it.

  • IPad storage capacity for photo storage

    'm planning to order the new iPad2 and would appreciate input on the value of the additional storage. I'd like to use the iPad to download photos while I'm traveling. I currently have a 18 megapixel camera and use 8gb sd cards and would appreciate know how to calculate how many photo's can be stored on the iPad with the 16, 32, and 64 gb models.
    Thanks in advance

    By my tests of iPad1 I do not believe the iPad can show the full resolution of photographs beyond about 2 or 3 megapixel because there is not enough video memory. If you open an 18 megapixel picture you will not be able to zoom by your fingers to see the 100% crop version of your pictures. Zooming in will cause them to pixellate, unlike zooming in on your desktop or laptop. Thus, you may want to create a reduced resolution collection of versions of your photos for iPad and store those on your device, unless you think you will be emailing them to folks from the iPad. This will allow you to put many more pictures on your iPad because you will not be using memory space that you can not see by zooming, anyway.

  • Expanding storage capacity for two Macs with external HD?

    I have a G5 and a MacBook. I want a Time Capsule to help me be better about backing upp my MacBook. I'm trying to decide which size to buy. Money is an issue. I have a 1 TB Western Digital My Book Studio edition which I currently use as a backup disk. I use TM, and SuperDuper! for bootable backups (even though the MBSE doesn't do bootable on pre-Intel Macs, unfortunately).
    I don't really understand the function of the USB connection on the TC, can someone explain that? Why is it there? What is it ment for? Will it work well to do this:
    I've read discussions here and understand that it can't be used to extend the TCs storage size, a connected HD is instead treated as a separate disk. But I haven't found a thread that directly answers the question of if it is a viable solution (as for exemple a way of saving money if you already own a large HD) to use Time Machine to back up one computer with a wired connection to the the HD attached to the TC, and to use TM on another computer to back it up wirelessly to the TC itself.
    I can see one obvious disadvantage to this is that if one disk fills up, backups for that computer can't continue over to the other. But other than that, is it possible to do this and is there any other disadvantage?
    I've read many threads where people ask about backing up an external HD attached to a TC, but that's not what I'm interested in.
    Sincerely

    On each computer:
    Open iTunes. Select Preferences from the iTunes menu and click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar. At the top you will see a box showing the path to your iTunes library. Click on the Change button, navigate to the location for the library on your external drive, select it and click on the Open button. Note this permanently changes the library's location on that computer. That means you cannot access your music unless the external drive is connected.
    If you don't want a permanent change, then press the OPTION key and hold it down while you launch iTunes. iTunes will then prompt you to select the library you wish to open for that session.

  • Song capacity for iPhone

    I have ran a search for this question but nothing came up. How many songs can you load onto the device? I have a library that is over 2,000 songs, and was interested in purchasing an iPhone this summer.
    Thanks in advance.

    The song capacity for the 16GB iPhone should be about the same as the 16GB iPod Touch, which is up to 3,500 songs.
    Music capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding - actual capacity varies by content.
    Up to 3500 songs is also based on having no video or photos.
    You can't get caught up with the up to number of songs advertisement, since the actual capacity varies by content.
    Are all your songs encoded 128-Kbps AAC, and do all songs average 4 minutes per song?
    It is more important to go by the storage capacity that your songs take up, which you can determine with iTunes - for all music, or by playlist, etc.
    You won't have a full 16GB of storage capacity either. This is the decimal equivalent, which is not the actual. The actual storage capacity for my 8GB iPhone is only about 7.3GB. This takes into account the difference between the advertised storage capacity and the actual - which is less than advertised for all hard drives and flash drives. The same applies to your hard drive's actual capacity on your MacBook. And OS X takes up roughly 500MB or so of the actual.

  • Best option for MBA storage capacity

    Hi all,
    Running around a number of options on which config of storage capacity to go for with a new MBA. Money is a bit tight so for that reason I'd prefer to go for the 128Gb SSD version but I know that will not be enough storage capacity for me.
    Therefore I'm mulling several solutions: USB storage, SDHC storage (on 13" model) or an external HDD via USB. Best VFM is obv an external hdd, but access times/running speeds (excuse the layman terms!) are ultimately my priority.
    I don't know much about what it's really like running extra storage permanently like I plan to - I assume it won't be as fast or glitch-free as internal storage would be, but I have no idea whether it'll be acceptable or awful. Example of use are prob running music/video files off it.
    I guess my question to you guys is, what kind of access expectations can I expect with the above options?
    Or, should I just take a deep breath and jump for the 256Gb version? Thanks in advance

    Right - yes, I've just been researching into SD Classes. Had no idea before!
    My ultimate aim is to have some extra storage that performs well enough at a low cost. Typical activity will probably be playing music and watching movies from the external media - what I'm worried about is poor data transfer speeds affecting playback etc. Can you advise on, for example, at what speed this would be a problem, and thus at what speeds I'd need? (sorry for all the questions!)
    If these problems are unlikely to happen with an SDHC, I would be tempted to go for it purely on the aesthetic grounds.
    Thanks again,

  • Please help - new to Mac. Storage options for 11" MBA 128GB

    Hi,
    I am a PC laptop user considering moving over to a MBA 11". I need portability and I'm worried about the storage capacity for the MBA at 11" - I'm on a budget. The next step up for me would be the 13" MBP for storage space/cost (and then I start getting confused about Serial ATA/SSD).
    I currently estimate to have about 80-90GB of files on my PC (I estimated this from what's on my PC, and guessing at extras on my external HD). Most of this is music and photos from years of travel that I do not want to lose. My external HD once stopped working and I lost photos, so I never want that to happen again.
    I understand I can also get an external HD for the MBA, as well as back everything up with Time Capsule/Machine.
    Are there any other solid options?
    Is it too risky to store all music/photos solely on external drives, leaving the main machine free for work?
    The main things I will be using it for are writing, iTunes, streaming TV/movies, web browsing and blogging, and some light photo editing.
    Thanks for your help!

    Is it too risky to store all music/photos solely on external drives, leaving the main machine free for work?
    If you don't have them backed up to another hard drive, yes. I have a MacBook Air with a 256GB drive but I have about 3.5 TB of media (which is backed up on other drives). I keep a small selection of my photos, music, and video on the MBA but the rest is on a network accessable drive. If I have WiFi I can access the data on that drive. It is a pretty good solution.

  • 1. I have an iPod which has purchases synced with I tunes with an apple ID. I now have an iPad with a new ID for cloud. I have cloud storage capacity of 5gb which came with the iPad. How can I use one ID and store my existing music in cloud?

    HI Frostyfrog
    CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
    it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
    I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
    The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
    Good luck

  • How can I increase the storage capacity in Linux for installing Oracle 11g?

    Hi all,
    I've been searching in Internet information about how to increase the storage capacity of a Linux machine, so that it can help me with my problem without success. I tried to execute some command lines encountered in some tips in forums, but no one works.
    I want to install an Oracle 11g database, which needs 4 GB minimal for the installation. I can not continue with the installation because of this problem.
    I use a VMWare virtual machine, which I increased over its settings to 160 GB, but not its file systems or whatever in the machine.
    I did this:
    [root@localhost ~]# df -h
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/sda3 18G 15G 1.9G 89% /
    /dev/sda1 190M 12M 169M 7% /boot
    none 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm
    /dev/hdc 699M 0 699M 100% /media/cdrom
    As far I understand the bigger storage capacity is used by the file system /dev/sda3. But what about the rest, I mean the 140 GB?. I've already increased the storage capacity over the settings. How can I tell the machine "please use the remaining 140 GB for the installation of the Oracle DB and other needed installations?.
    How can I increase here what?. Disk? File system? Volume Group? It can not be so difficult, can it?
    There are no volume groups in the machine:
    +[root@localhost /]# vgdisplay+
    +No volume groups found+
    Linux is too complicated. Unfortunately I have to do that in Linux :-(
    Can someone help me? I sit here since long hours without finding a solution :-(

    thanks for your answers.
    To Dude:
    You can address the problem in a number of different ways, but please post your version of Linux and provide more information about your current partitions
    The Version of Linux is Linux Red Hat Enterprise 5.
    Open Logical Volume Management from the System Administration menu.
    Select your volume from the logical view, edit properties and then use the slider to set your volume size, or click "remaining" to extend your partition.
    I've already opened the LVM from the System Administration menu, but there is no possibility to see the volume groups, because there is no one. There is no tabs like Volume Groups or something like that...
    I would try the procedure described above your answer and write you again. I hope it works...I will write you back in a few minutes...

  • HT201318 If you increase your iCloud storage capacity can you increase the number of songs that exceed the 25,000 limit on the iMatch. If it does not apply specifically how can I increase this rather constrained limit?

    The whole business of cloud storage is unclear to me. They say that you have 5G of memory free upgrade to 15 for twenty-five dollars and that this is unrelated to music and video memory. I get this, but I have purchased iCloud Match for $25 but I've quickly maxed out the 25,000 song limit. How can I increase this limit. It is at this point I am unclear about the $25 for 15G additional storage... can this be used to increase iTunes/iCloudmusic storage to increase the music Storage? One would think that apple would make these distinctions clearer. Can anyone carify? Thanks!

    iTunes Match does not use your iCloud account.  Your annual Match subscribtion pays for separate storage to host your iTunes library.  As far as I know, you can't increase the 25,000 song limit.
    If you recently purchased the storage upgrade for this purpose, in the U.S. you could call 1-800-MYAPPLE for a refund if you don't need it.
