Deleted iTunes items do not appear in Trash and disk space is still in use

I upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard last week and have just hit a rather annoying problem.
I have my iTunes library on an external USB drive, which is running low on disk space, so I thought I'd delete some o the shows that I've already watched on iTunes.  So, I opened iTunes, slected each file in turn, hit the delete key and then the Move to Trash option.
The files disappeared from iTunes, but my Trash was still showing as empty and the disk space on the external drive was unchanged.  I deleted a file on my local disk in Finder and that immediately appeared in my Trash.  However, emptying the Trash did not then free up any disk space on the external drive.
In Terminal, if I run df -h it shows 931GB in use and 103MB remaining, but du -sh * shows only 923GB in use for the same disk.
Any thoughts on why this is happening and how to find then delete that 8GB discrepancy?

I am actually having the same problem as sheepworrier. I deleted 15 gb of itunes files and it didnt even appear in the trash. THe hard disk space did not increase accoording to disl utility and iStat pro, however, finder reflects this change in free hard drive space. Any other files I delete, and empty from the trash do not free up hard disk space as measured by disk utility and iStat pro. Does it have to do with the fact that I recently updgraded my hard drive? I'm running a clone made by Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • Items Deleted On External HD Not Appearing In Trash Bin

    Hello,
    I recently used Araxis Find Duplicate Files to remove some mp3s from my external hard drive (files are not stored in iTunes).  After the scan finished, it yielded about 60 GB worth of duplicates.  I made sure that the "move to trash bin" option was selected.  I hit delete and now the files are no longer in the archived folder, but they also do not appear in the Trash.  Stranger yet, the deletions hasn't freed up any additional space either.  I have used Data Rescue 3 to try to attempt to locate the deleted and missing files, but it can't find them.  Does anyone know what else I can try to find these files, or at least recover my hard drive space that seems to have dissappeared?  I have used disk utility to repair permissions and such but it doesn't solve the problem.
    Thanks,
    F

    I am having the exact same problem with my external, which is used as my iTunes library storage.
    When I delete things from iTunes, and select "move to trash", the files do not appear in the trash, as they used to.
    The trash stays empty (as in, no items are visible, even though I just deleted things).
    Oddly enough, after a restart, the files will appear, and thus are able to be trashed.
    Obviously, I do not want to have to restart every time to do this.
    I looked through the other thread, and nothing helped.
    Still looking for some answers!

  • My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

    My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
    First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
    showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
    chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
    no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
    or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
    disk mode.
    Moreover, i recommend you to
    restore ipod to factory settings.
    If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.

  • 2LIS_02_ITM deleted line items are not reflected in BW

    Hi,
    Our current Data flow 2LIS_02_ITM-->DSO-->CUBE.
    I am analyzing a Invoice, When it is created 01.04.2014 it has got 10 Line Items and all the data is load to BW,Invoice with 10 Line items.
    In ECC I can now see the same Invoice only got 5 line items and from change log I can see 5 line items are deleted on 15.04.2014.These changes are not reflected in BW.In BW invoice data still shows 10 line items.
    If I perform setup table job and ECC RSA3 for that invoice I am getting only 5.
    I believe it’s something to do with 0RECORDMODE,Can you please let me know how to fix this in BW.
    Thanks

    Yes this is a known behavior in case of deltas.
    For Deleted line items Rocancel field will have an entry with R.
    To handle this you need to map ROCANCEL field in Technical group of transformation (Between Datasource to DSO) with 0Recordmode.
    Once you will do that then after activating the data in DSO it will nullify the records and deleted order or item will not appear.

  • How do I delete  one item at a time from trash?

    How does one delete one item at a time from trash?

    In general, one doesn't.
    I suggest you create a new folder (I use "Trash Soon") on the desktop near the trash icon. Move all the stuff out of the Trash bin into the Trash Soon Folder. Then move the things you really want to eliminate to the Trash can. Empty Trash.
    DO NOT store anything you want to keep in the real Trash can. There are many activities that may cause "Empty Trash" a a side-effect.
    If you have multiple drives, The Trash is an illusion created for your convenience. The actual Items may be on several different drives, but all marked as "in Trash". Moving them to a folder on a different drive may cause unexpected copying.

  • I upgraded to iTunes 11.0. My iPod Nano 4th Version will sync, but music and playlists will not appear to manage and add more songs. Is there a fix?

    I upgraded to iTunes 11.0. My iPod Nano 4th Version will sync, but music and playlists will not appear to manage and add more songs. Is there a fix?

    If I go from 'Devices' to Summary and then Music, I only get one option-Sync Music,There is a box on this page but the options within it are grayed out. If I tick the Sync Music option I get this message-
    'Are you sure you want to remove existing music,films,ect, from this ipod and sync with this itunes library?
    'Music synced to (my ipods name) from other itunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this itunes library' I have only ever used itunes on this PC and the 'Manually manage music and videos' is ticked but
    that must be a default setting as I haven't ticked it.

  • Itunes Library does not appear to be a valid music library

    Ever since downloaded Itunes 5, deleted started again back with 4.9 I have had nothing but problems. All my tunes are stored on an external hard drive.
    I have just reloaded all my music and tidied it all up nicely and then when it went to update the ipod this is the message I got :
    The file iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid music library file.
    iTunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file iTunes 4musiclibrary(damaged)1.itl
    PLEASE HELP as this is really cracking me up now.

  • Itunes library does not appear to be a valid itunes library file

    i'm importing AIFF files into itunes, converting those to AAC and deleting the original AIFF files. i tried to import an album of AIFF's and received a message that i didn't have enough hard drive space to import so itunes would import as many of the files as it could. i knew i'd get to this point and would have to transfer some files onto my hard drive. however, when i clicked okay, the computer froze. i restarted manually and received the following message after attempting to open itunes "the file 'itunes library 2009-12-06' does not appear to be a valid itunes library file. itunes has created a new itunes library and renamed this file to 'itunes library (damaged)'." i'm not sure why this happened and i can't find 'itunes library (damaged)' anywhere. i have all my music still i just can't get itunes back to the way it was. please help! thanks so much.

    I'll try and make this as concise as possible. Was following another thread that was "archived" without a solution. I randomly will get the error message 1450 "itunes library does not appear to be a valid itunes library - renamed library damaged." I've done everything and I'm at level 2 with phone support. The fixes we've tried seem to solve the problem momentarily but a few weeks will go by and the problem happens again. I loose all my podcasts and have to reload all music. My daughters have a different user account on the same computer and it happens to them as well. We have tried only loading itunes music files and that doesn't fix the problem either. We've reinstalled many times. I have an internal additional hard drive where I store the music but I've tried installing and saving everything on my original drive and the problem happens that way as well. I've read many threads and those of us with this problem aren't finding any answers. Please Apple or someone help with this. I'm ready to change phones and music players.

  • Why PO Item does not appear when return GR?

    Dear Gurus,
    The scenerio is,
    A standard PO with 30 items.
    The PO is released and complete received by MB01 103, 105.
    When return GR by MIGO GR 122, the PO items do not appear except one item. If use MB01, the same.
    Why? Pls advice. Thanks.
    Regards,
    David

    Just found a good OSS note: Note 886735 - MIGO: Unclear why GR is not possible for the purchase order
    It has a report attached, that helps to analyse the reason.
    Carry out the following checks using the report:
    1.  Check the document category
    Information: The document category 'F' is possible for purchase orders and the document category 'L' is possible for scheduling agreements.
    2.  Check that the purchase order/scheduling agreement is not deleted.
    3.  Check that the purchase order/scheduling agreement is not blocked.
    4.  Check whether the purchase order/scheduling agreement is released.
    5.  Check that the purchase order is not held.
    6.  Check whether the goods receipt is already posted.
    7.  Is there a purchase order for external service?
    8.  Is there a blanket purchase order?
    9.  Is there a text item?
    10. Is there a statistical item?
    11. Is the goods receipt indicator set in the purchase order/scheduling agreement?
    12. Check whether the confirmation control is active and whether a confirmation is still not available.
    13. Is there a valid scheduling agreement delivery schedule line?

  • TS5181 iTunes radio does not appear in "Music" on my iPod Touch, Why?

    iTunes radio does not appear in "Music" on my iPod Touch. How can I fix this?

    Ok, I have resolved this issue myself. I contacted Apple support but they had no clue.
    The resolution is this, bring Siri up and say "radio". Radio comes up and you touch "now playing". Believe it or not the radio icon appears and remains.
    I hope that helps other folk.

    hi
    version management
    SPRO –> Material Management –> Purchasing -> Version Management .
    After activating version management you can see the Version tab in ME53N near to source of supply tab in PR.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm30/helpdata/en/46/882fdd8bfc1743bd5ef8b532f94402/content.htm
    SAP Enterprise Buyer provides you with version management for purchasing documents. As a first step, you can display versions of purchase orders and contracts.
    The system creates a version in the background if you, as a purchaser, carry out one of the following actions:
    · You change a posted purchase order
    · You order a posted purchase order again
    · You change a contract that has already been released
    · You release an already released contract again
    In contrast to the change documents that retain a change history, a version displays the status of a document at a specific point in time.
    Version management provides a check for you as a purchaser, for example, if you wish to display a purchase order in the form in which you transferred it to the vendor on day X. A version provides clarity, for example, in negotiations on a contract.
    Features
    You can use versions as follows:
    · Display
    · Compare and list differences in tabular form. The comparison result has separate areas that can be displayed:
    Header data (including organizational data, tax and payment data; partner data and documents)
    Item data (including taxes and limits if they exist; partner data, documents; account assignment and conditions)
    · Archive, if it relates to transaction data (you can archive versions of purchase orders, but not contract versions)
    You cannot change or output versions. This is only possible for the active document.

  • "Hyperion" menu item does not appear in Excel after SmartView Installation

    Hi to all! When I first installed SmartView, everything was ok - "Hyperion" menu item appeared in Excel and I successfully established connection to Planning and worked with data in Excel. Then, once upon a time I happened to select all data through Ctrl+A in the data form open in Excel and tried to copy it to another worksheet in the same workbook, Excel threw out a message about some serious error and informed me that the Hyperion Add-on would be removed. So it was removed in fact. When I was reinstalling Smart-View, all the installation went smoothly but the "Hyperion" menu item did not appear in Excel again. I tried to reinstall both Excel and SmartView and rebooted the system several times but the Hyperion menu item still does not appear in Excel. Can anyone hint me on how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hi, John! Thanks a lot! Your link led me to the thread in which the last post had the link Re: Smart View errors in Excel?! containing the "low-tech" 's instructions. It was these instructions that pulled me from underwater! Thank you so much and to that guy too! :)

    My mail will not delete. When I move it to trash and then delete it, within a few minutes it has all bounced back in again.  Checked my preference settings and all seems to be in order. Any ideas how to resolve this frustrating problem?

    That sounds like a compatibility issue with an add-on that you have installed, as reported by a number of users in both Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 over the last couple of months. If you would provide a listing of your installed extensions ''(as you were prompted to do when creating this thread)'' maybe one of us can advise you which extension is the mot likely culprit. You will need to re-install Firefox 23 to do further diagnostic testing.
    As far as the compatibility of Firefox 23 and Win XP SP3, Mozilla has verified they are compatible and not one user ''(including me on two separate PC's)'' has reported a problem with compatibility.
