Editing info.. using more space

If anyone can answer this, please do! i bought a new ipod color 20gb and i copied about 7GB of music to it. when i go into "get info" and add an album cover or change the genre, and sync it with my ipod, it takes up space like it is copying the file as a duplicate, so now i have 9.5GB used.
also, in my iTunes when i click "my ipod" on the left so view my iPod files, on the bottom of the itunes program it says i have 7GB used, and then right above it, it says i have 9.5gb used!! i am so confused. please help if you can lol

Christopher,
This issue has been cropping up in iPods regularly. It may be a memory management problem, or it may be an indication of a bad operating system install.
While this seems to happen from time to time, I have not read a good explanation, but I suspect that the iPod's operating system isn't the best at memory management.
These are the standard fist steps to this type of issue:
First try Resetting Your iPod to correct this problem. It may take several attempts.
If that does not solve the problem, then Restore Your iPod and put the music back on your iPod, from iTunes. With a fresh OS and a blank HD, it should register the right amount of space used after you re-sync it with your iTunes.

Firevault: "Your homefolder is using more space than required"

I would like to ask for some help. After every log-out, Firevault tells me that "Your homefolder is using more space than required" (or something between that lines). What can I do?
Thank you for the help.

Hi Morales,
Unless you have a need for military-level security, FileVault is overkill. It slows your computer because all sorts of cache and preference files are repeatedly encrypted and decrypted, and because filevault is saving all your files in a big "container file," disk and directory errors that would otherwise be minor can cause massive data loss on a filevault-ed computer.
To keep SOME files secure, an encrypted, password protected disk image is a better idea. You can make encrypted disk images with Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Do File > New > Disk Image from Folder.

HT4847 iOS8 uses more space on iCloud for backup than before without changing anything other than upgrading to iOS8... why?

Hello westbrkk,
this is an user-to-user forum, so unfortunately we won't be able to tell you why.

Why does using AIFF Encoder use more space than original CD?

I import with the AIFF Encoder option, as I want the best possible sound quality. A Full CD uses 700 MB, yet when I import a full CD into itunes, it says that is is using more than 800 MB. How is this possible?

Using the AIFF/Apple Lossless encoder is different to using CDA or MP3 format.
This is like a comparison between digital and analogue.
Digital is about space efficiency - so, look at a CD - It's small right?
This is because they have only taken sounds within a narrower band-width than the band-width used on a record (vinyl) and they have also encoded it (it's like shortening 'male' to 'm' under sex)
Vinyl has a huge band-width (just compare a full-sized record to a CD) and takes every little detail of a song, every rich sound and keeps it as a value on its' surface.
This is the same as the AIFF of Apple Lossless format - they take every little sound and put it inside the file - which makes it high quality but huge!
I have compared sizes and AIFF of the same file is 10 times the size of the AAC.
The digital formats use maths equations rather than on/off values for sounds.
I would not use this format (AIFF or Apple Lossless) unless you were transferring from vinyl to your iPod and you didn't want much else because it is full of on/off values.
CD's have reduced quality of sound and downloads are limited to the speed of the servers for quality BUT if you still want good quality and small size, encode in AAC - It is better than an MP3 because AAC is 4 layers of maths instead of 3 layers in an MP3.
Remember though, there is no point in making a high quality file from a lower quality source - you are just filling your iPod with no noise!

About My Mac is telling me that I'm using more space than I think I am

Hi there,
I've only had problems with storage once before, so I bought DaisyDisk and used it - it cleared out a lot of space and I loved it - this was months ago by the way. Then, I checked my storage today and suddenly my 'Apps' tab was taking up about 130GB of data. I knew that my 'Apps' area was only taking up about 10GB so I got spotlight to check my drive again so that I could find out what was actually taking up all of this space. After this, I checked About My Mac again and the 'Other' tab was suddenly taking up loads of room. I opened up DaisyDisk and deleted some old files and managed to get from about 40GB of free space to about 90GB. I'm happy with this so far but I want to know what is in that 'Other' tab. DaisyDisk isn't helping me as it says that my user is taking up about 90GB of space but when I look on Finder it says that it isn't as big as that. I really want help so that I can clear out all the unnecessary junk off of my Mac before I go back to school. Also, I know that I have 20GB of files in my user (shows when I copy everything from the All My Files section in to a new folder), so I don't think this 'Other' section should be as big as it is.
I have a 2013 13" Macbook Pro with Retina Display with a 256GB Hard Drive.

Thanks for any help.

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. 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. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also 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. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP 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.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in 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 by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything 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 in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

ICloud says I used more space than I actually do

Hi,
When I look in the pereferences of iCloud it says I used 3,77gb of the 5gb. When I look in "manage" the screen tells me I used not more than 1,5gb. what's happend?
Ramon

I've searched everywhere too for a solution and I finally caved in and restored my phone after backing up all of my photos to iPhoto. It's a pain, but it freed up about 6GB on my phone.

Archive Logs using more Space

May be you can help me out.
I have resized my redo logs, and when I checked my file system the log switchs were less frequent as expected, however if compared to the same period when the redo logs were smaller(1 hour earlier) the archive logs (db in archive log mode) had doubled the usual capacity on the file system.
Now Im sure Im being stupid here.
I had expect the file system usage would be the same but have bigger but fewer archive logs. I am sure the through put is the same. Is my theory correct, even through the facts are not matching up?

Thanks for confirming my thoughts. I was very surprised when the file system usage had changed and the last change was redo log size adjustment.
It is one of though times when you were the last to touch it and somthing is different you get the blame.
I suspect some process is being run that is generally not start at this time of day. just an unfortunate coincidence.
thanks I thought I was going mad.

My harddisk info shows more free space as it has capazity

hi everyone,
my harddisk info shows more free space as it has capazity!
Even after using the harddisk-tool to repair rights and catalog
the info below the harddrive shows more GB than it's own size.
This also appears in the info-window (command - i )
749,GB size of HD / 765,16 GB free
But the information about the harddrive shown in the harddrive-repair-tool
seems to be right, and shows approx. 600GB free of the 750GB harddrive ...
I'am a bit worried and are looking for a solution to repair this ...
best, boschma

thx for answering ;-)
yes, I did, under FIRST AID as well ... no positive result
thx for the tipp about 'Disk Warrior'
I will try that - update to follow ...
edit:
oops - that's a lot of money to pay for 'Disk Warrior'.
maybe there are any other utilities? tipps? tricks?

How many times can you install Lightroom 5? My problem is that I have saved my programs on C. To I have more space, I want to save my programs now on E. Can I now uninstall Lightroom and reinstall from C to E? Can I use the same license code as the first

Please help!!

Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.

Have more space between images used as buttons

Hi again,
Would like to see if there's some html properties to have more space beetwen buttons based on image:
i've used: save.gif and del.gif instead of the standard template buttons.
Would be nice to have the 2 images not so near.
thanx a lot

Hi,
You could go to Edit Button Item and insert some HTML white spaces as Post Element Text. For example, if you have 2 buttons, do it at left button.

How to use same form for Editing info and creating info.

Hi all,
Here my aim is to select the user from list and edit the user info. There is one more option to create the new user.
Currently I am using two separate input forms one for Editing and one more creating new user.
Can anyone tel me, how to use the same form for both editing and creating.
Thanks,
Ramesh Biradar

Hi Ramesh,
I'll make some assumptions about how you're going about this, and then give you a possible solution:
I assume that you have a table with selection on one page. To edit an item, you wish to select it's radio button and click an edit button to take you to another page with the item filled in to edit it. To create a new item, you'd like to click a "new" button and go to the same page.
If this is correct, here's the basic steps:
1). Assuming you have both the list and edit pages already created, make sure you have a JSF navigation case defined going from the list page to the edit page. I'll call this navigation case "goToEditPage" for this discussion.
2). To make the edit button, drag a command button from the component palette and drop it on the af:TableSelectOne (the column in your table containing the radio buttons for selection).
3). Set the action property on this command button to "goToEditPage".
4). Now, to make the create button, drag a command button from the component palette somewhere on the page. I like to put mine in a panelButtonBar inside the actions facet of an af:Page component.
5). Now, for the Action property of this command button, bind it to a method in your page's backing bean. The code will look something like this:
public String performNew()
    BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
    OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Create");
    Object result = operationBinding.execute();
    if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty())
      return null;
    return "goToEditPage";
}Hope this is helpful, Ramesh.
Regards,
John

If I bought more space on the iCloud under a old apple id but I am using a new one will that space be with my new id?

I bought more space for my iPad 2 but I was logged in under a old apple id. I am using a new id. Will my iPad have the space when I back it up? Or can I change my new id to the space I just bought?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your iPad will only back up to the iCloud account it is logged into, you cannot transfer additional space purchased under one account to another.

Can i use the same payment info on more than one iphone?
