Usage on my iPhone 6 plus does not match the free space showing on iTunes

IPhone 6 plus 16 GB is showing 678 MB free space, but when I go to sync up with Itunes windows PC it says there is 4.78 GB free space.
WHy is is there a difference and how can I get them in sync?

Try to set it up as new device and restore again from the backup:

Why is the free space different in iTunes and iPhone?

I can not download an app update because I don't have enough room on my iiPhone. I plug it into iTunes and it says I have 3.23 GB free. Why the difference? I have synced several times.Also, I think I remember in the past the iPhone has kept some old backups on it taking up space. I can't find those now. Where would they be if they exist?
I have an iPhone 5S with the software up to date. I have an iMac with the Mavericks software and iTunes up to date.
Thanks

Simple solution. Totally erase all your music from the ipod. then try transferring it all back on, or just what you want, if not all of it. This should pretty much correct it. Good luck!

The free space for my iphone on itunes does not match the free space on my iphone after syncing.

The free space for my iphone on itunes does not match the free space on my iphone after syncing. iTunes shows 6.7 G free, but my iphone shows 6 G free. Why such a delta?

They've never sussed this out - been a problem the last year or two for me regardless of all the new iOS versions and iTunes versions. Regardless of multiple resets and full restores. Mine showed 3.7 avail on computer, less than .5 on phone. I did a reset and full restore. It helped - but still differs dramatically - now showing 5.8 avail on computer but only 2.9 on phone.
APPLE!!! I have spent 10s of thousands on your products both at my business and home - why? "Because it just works" I've been telling people. Not sure if I can keep on saying that if you don't get this figured out!!

Is there a way I can get the "Free Space" back without completely restoring my hard drive?

Hi!
After having a terrible experience with Windows 8.1 on Boot Camp (Windows would always fail to boot), I tried restoring my partition with the Boot Camp Assistant and it would not work. Shortly after, I went to the Disk Utility to restore the Boot Camp partition and it was just "Free Space". I have Googled many different solutions, and am not sure what exactly to do. If possible at all, I would just like to know if there is any way to get back the "Free Space" without having to retire my entire hard drive.
Here is a screenshot of my Disk Utility...

Enable Disk Utililities Debut menu by entering the following command in the Terminal window followed by the Return or Enter key:
defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled 1
Then select the Show Every Partition option in that menu:
That will give you the following in the left hand pane:
Click on each of the icons and you'll get the capacity of each volume and the used/free space on the working volume (Toad Hall in the screenshot).

On Windows I can see the free space of my partitions, but I can't see on the OS X

I don't remember why, I had a 10 gb partition, so I deleted it for add in another partition, but it disappeared from my Disk Utility. So I entered on my Windows through bootcamp and on the Disk Management I can see the 10 gb partition as Unallocated. The last time I resized the partitions through Windows, I lost the Mac partition, and now I can't use the bootcamp assistant to delete Windows.
How can I delete it and take the both partition on the mac partition again ?

Hi thanks, sorry take too long to answers, that didn't work, I found another place that says to delete the partition, but now my HD is like this
The Recovery HD is strange, and I don't have my 50 gbs of free space that I suppose to have
This app called iPartition shows the free space
What I am supposed to do ?

What happened to the "Free Downloads" link at iTunes Store?

Since the new iTunes store switched, the "This weeks free downloads" that link that displayed all of the free tv shows available for download has disappeared? I remember it has episodes of Passions, Three Moons..., 30 Days, and others. Is there a link that I'm just missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No (so sad), at the bottom of my front page is "Exclusively on iTunes" display with a few titles.
... immediately down below that is a little "My Store" thingy. is it currently showing "United States"?
if it's showing a different country, click on it and select "United States". does the "FREE ON iTunes" show up for you now?
(i just checked with my iTunes Store ... if i switched to the UK store, i'd see what you were seeing, but i'd get the Free section back if i switched back to the US Store.)

After upgrading to Mavericks, the free space on my SSD keeps going down for no apparent reason

I downloaded Mavericks and installed it on my macbookpro ( with Crucial M4 SSD) and the free space on my ssd keeps going down for no reason. I reinstalled it from a bootable flashdrive, and the free space went from 20G to 60. Since then it keeps going down and I am now on 48G. I cannot find the source of the drain. Anyone else with the same problem?

I have not tested the solution suggested in the article linked above.
But hope it helps.

How do I erase the free space on macbook pro retina?

I went to erase the free space on my MacBook Pro Retina in the Disk Utility but it says not available for this type of drive. Is there a way I can get around this?

You can't use Disk Utility to securely erase a Solid State Disk drive, because of the fact that SSD's have limited write capability, unlike hard drives, thus have to protect the sectors from as little writes as possible.
In fact TRIM (wear leveling) is enabled to write new data to the least used sectors on a SSD each time.
The NSA guidelines for secure data destruction on SSD's is to grind them into a fine powder.
If you don't require this level of data destruction, you can do this trick below, but not often or you'll premaurely wear out your SSD.
Finder > Duplicate a small file repeatly in a folder until slightly more than 50% of the remaining free space on the SSD is used up, (use Activity Monitor) then delete this folder.
Then duplicate a different small file repeatly in another folder in the same manner.
What this will do is, because of the small file, OS X will fill the smallest unused spots on the SSD, the duplicates will fill the remaining free space half way, then the second folder will (because of TRIM) fill the other remaining 50% of the free space.
You can't fill your boot drive or the machine can refuse to function or boot, but because of the wear leveling this should overwrite all your available free space on the SSD once.
If you have a laptop and TimeMachine, there is a hidden database on the boot drive which will store a copy of the deleted data.
Then there is "versions" and it's possible a copy of the deleted data is stored in that cache file still on the SSD.
I can advise how to delete the TimeMachine backup file on the boot drive, but not the "versions" database or what it contains.
How do I securely delete data from the machine?
If your really paranoid it's likely best to reformat the entire MacintoshHD partition from recovery and then with a new user, then do the Finder > Duplicate procedure to overwrite the deleted data off the SSD, this way the "versions" and TimeMachine databases are also overwritten.
Nothing is safe anymore.

Disk partition issue.Cant allocate the free space for windows.ls help.

I have created a partition for OS X (200GB journaled, encrypted) and also left 51GB unallocated for Boot Camp later on.
After I successfully installed OS X 10.9, I wanted to install Windows 8.1 with Boot Camp. But Boot Camp only wants to shrink the Macintosh HD partition, and doesn't want to use the free space left on the drive. So I switched to Disk Utility, to try it that way. But in Disk Utility I wasn't able to create a new partition (if I press the 'partition' button it just doesn't do anything).
Next, I tried to switch of File Vault 2, let it decrypt itself, restart, and then try it again in internet recovery mode. But still, I cannot expand the Macintosh HD-partition or create a new partition.
Disk Utility log:
2014-09-04 00:42:31 +0200: Preparing partitioning: 'APPLE SSD SM256E Media'
Also, Disk Utility tells me there is 200.000.000.000 bytes of 200.000.000.000 bytes used, and 0 bytes of free space. Even though not even half of the drive is colored blue (which displays the amount of data on the drive). Finder tells me only 88GB is used.
I used the new installation for no longer than half a day, so there can't be issues that data is spread over the whole volume. Disk Utility can't find any problems, and tells me the disk and all of her volumes are okay (in green texts).
I also tried to start from a windows-install-usb, and tried to make a partition of the 'unallocated space', but then Windows tells me that it fails because the volume is part of the 'GPT partition style'.
What do I have to do to repartition my volumes!?
I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina 15" (MacBook Pro 10,1) with a 256GB SSD (251GB according to OS X).

As you're finding, a limitation of basic disk is that it only allows 4 primary partitions or 3 primary partitions and an extended partition.

For information on converting basic to dynamic as well as considerations prior to doing so, consult this article. It should help you make a decision whether or not you want to convert the disk:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163552.aspx
If you decide to convert, get a backup so that no matter what you're covered. Not that it's risky, but better safe than sorry.

Need to find the free space on storage server

Hi,
I need to find the free space on storage server through Java code, and even find whether web server has access to the storage server.
So please tell me how do i do that.

This will be through an API for your "storage
server". It would be helpful if you at least
indicated what this "storage server" is: a NFS? an
FTP site? something else?I forgot to mention that. Its NFS. Please let me know
clearly, what APIs I need to use and in simple how.How am I supposed to clearly know this?
Consult the documentation for your NFS system and figure it out. That's what to do.

Hello! I submitted my podcast (The Maggy Thump Show) to Itunes about a month ago, I

Hey braswell4AU: I have a similar issue. I purchased 2 iPhone 5's the first day they came out. Black 64gb for myself and white 32gb for my wife. She is having somewhat the same issues as you have. Wifi is weak and keeps dropping the signal, and also her phone almost never has LTE. And we are in a very strong Verizon LTE area in north Los Angeles county. My phone has never had any signal issues, wifi or LTE. I have been researching the issue to no avail. I though maybe the white with the brushed alluminum may cause signal issues, but haven't found anything on that and posts about the black one haven't problems blew that theory up.
    I have also changed the SIM card and the phone itself and still the same problem. I saw a post about someone getting their phone swapped out and the apple rep told him not to restore the phone, but to just set it up as new. I have yet to try it, gonna try this weekend.. But it makes sense! I, like you have 6 apple devices (2 iPhone 5's, 2 iPhone 4's apple tv3, and the ipad3) and have no issues running all my devices via router.
     So I am thinking about the history of the restores and backups and my wife is the only one that went from the 4 to the 5.. Every other device was setup as new. So my theory is that he iphone 5 has issues when you restore from previous backups.. Maybe something a little different from the backups of the previous models create issues in the iPhone 5's?
     Like I said, I'm going to give it a shot this weekend and see what happens. If you get a chance to try this before, please let me know if it works and if I try before you I will update you.
    Good luck and hopefully we can get these wonderful phones working like they should!

Why when i delete photos and movies do i not get the free space back on my hard drive?

I'm desparately trying to free up hard drive space. I have deleted unwanted photos and videos, emptied iphoto trash, rebooted and emptied regular trash but there is no corresponding increase in available hard drive space! Please help or the Mac gets it!!

If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.

Obviously the solut

I thanks people that gave their suggestion, but unfortunately these are not
what I was looking for.
The runcommand does not redirect output to a textdata but accept the name
of an output file in a textdata, and in win95 it doesn't exists a grep
command.
The thing that bother me is that if I use the environment console, open the
machine agent and look up the instruments i find the volumes into it,
afterwards having done this operation I manage to find the volume agents
form the machine one even from tool program.
It is clear that the e-console issues some commands during the instrument
menu of the machine that I miss, but perhaps are available from tool.
Does someone from Forte knows how to reproduce the same commands of
instrument menu in tool (I was told that e-console was written using forte
so...)?

Find the free space of autoextensible enabled tablespaces

Hi All,
I need to create a shell script to find the free space of an autoextensible tablespaces and send an alert when the free space is < 700MB.
I tried checking with the dba_free_space, but I did not get the exact free space.
Can someone tell me the logic to find the exact free space of autoextensible enabled tablespaces?
Thanks,
VBK

You may want to look into dba_free_space_coalesced table.

Total Blocks - Total number of free oracle blocks in tablespace

22 where      a.TABLESPACE_NAME=b.TABLESPACE_NAME
23 order      by ((a.BYTES-b.BYTES)/a.BYTES) desc
