Erasing everything still doesn't free up my memory...

Hey folks,
My problem with my Palm Pre (webOS 1.4.1) is that i can't put music on it anymore. I came to a limit and 'removed' some files with no change, so then i went into USB Drive and removed all songs from my phone but my device info still says i have 0GB free and that i am using 8GB, how is that at all possible? I only have 4 extra apps on my phone, and they have been there for some time.
Any help?

Hello and welcome to the forums;
I would first try restarting the device to see if the free space will recalculate. Hold down your power button and move the ringer switch back and forth 3 times, then let go of the power button. Within 3-5 seconds, the device will restart.
Let us know if that solves the issue.

When I delete files on a USB, it doesn't free up memory on the stik. I find I have to empty the entire stik, use Disk Utility to 'erase' it, then transfer back the files I removed to free up all the space on the stik. Is this the best practice?

It frustrates me that if I delete a file from a USB, it doesn't free up the memory on the stik. I have been removing all the files from the stik, opening Disk Utility and erasing the empty USB. That frees up the entire stik. Then I have been transferring back the files I removed from the stik. The result is that I have memory available to use again. It seems to me this is an unnecessarily complicated and time consuming way to get the result. Is there a shorter way to do this?

Hello Horst,
Thank you for the question. Have you been emptying your trash after deleting the items? For the item to be removed from your USB device, you will need to empty the trash on your MacBook Pro after you delete the items, as described in the featured discussion below. Your USB device will still need to be connected when you do this:
Choose Empty Trash from the Finder menu. Unlike Windows, the trash needs to be emptied manually for any drive other than one mounted through the network.

I can't seem to update my software, every time I do it says that there is a problem and to close everything that is open. Once I close everything it still doesn't work. How do I get it to complete?

Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk to install software updates...
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Thanks very much,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

Erase free space erased everything

On my MacBook with OS X 10.6.8, I tried to erase free space (zero out) on a pretty full 2TB external HDD using Disk Utility (still 100 GB free space).
I have done this lots of times before to free up a little more space. When I did it today, the progress message said "unmount volume", then "erasing volume"! The whole process took only 10 seconds. After that, there were 2TB of free space and all my files were missing.
Does it seem only the partition was erased since the erasing only took 10 secs? The external HDD only had one partition. Although there is a volume now just no data in it. What's the best way to recover these files? Should I use a Knoppix Live CD and disk duplication? (I'm just learning now how to do this)
I'm trying Prosoft's Data Rescue 3, and that does not work well I will try Photorec with a live cd. I'm trying to understand what happened with Disk Utility - normally it would take a while to erase 2tb of data even unsecurely not the 10 sec thing that happened to me

Thanks Lupunus
Looks like I erased the volume - so is your above suggestion still the best way to recover the data?
If there where no writing on the drive since the operation, you will get your data back.
A good tools is Testdisk -> http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
If you are unsure of your own skills, you may alternatively send the disk to a recovery service like Kroll. But this will ease your wallet by around 1000$
Take a look in the discussions history here. There was a similar problem a week or two ago and the thread contains a lot of useful information.
I will look in my own history too. If I find the thread, I'll post the link here.

I had a bright house cable modem that also had built-in wi-fi.
Don't mean to be picky here, but if the "modem" had built in Wi-Fi, it was not a modem. It was a modem/router, also known as a gateway type of device.
A device like this combines the functions of a separate modem and separate router in one package. Turning off the wireless on a device like this does not make a it modem.....it is still a modem/router or gateway with the WiFi turned off.
I think that if I have them replace the current "complicated" modem with a "simple" one I should be able to get the guest network up and running.
That would be correct. Hopefully, they offer this type of option for their customers.

I have a new iPod and soon as I turned it on, it wanted me to upgrade it to the new IOS 6.0.1. Ever since then, my imessages won't work. I've reset it and everything and it still doesn't. So why won't it work?

I've lost my iPod Touch. Should I erase everything off of it? And if I do, would I still be able to locate it with 'Find my iPhone' app?

If you want to track it, then put it in Lost Mode. If you erase it then you can't track it.

If i erase everything off an iphone that got stolen from me on track my iphone will it still be in the cloud?

I had my iphone stolen from me and i was wondering if i erased everything from the phone on find my iphone if it would still stay in the cloud

Yes QuickTimeKirk is right, you will still be able to access your data if a backup has been previously made using iCloud or iTunes. With a stolen iPhone it's also important to make sure you notify your network provider as soon as possible to prevent theif from running up your phone bill.

If the issue remains it would be best for you to back up your phone then book an appointment at an Apple Retail Store to be evaluated.

I have an ipod classic 120 gb. I had music on my ipod that I had gotten from other people's itunes libraries by changing my settings to manually sync my ipod. However, twice I have had my ipod plugged into my mac and it completely erased everything

I have an ipod classic 120 gb. I had it set up so that I manually sync and manage my music. Twice I have had my ipod plugged into my mac and it had erased everything on my ipod. All the music on my itunes was still in my library, but all the other music was lost. I understand that I need to go back to the other libraries I got that music from, but how do I make sure that my ipod doesn't keep syncing and erasing itself? Also, now every five minutes a message will pop up on my itunes saying that it cannot sync because of an unknown error and then it has the number 13014. I have no idea what that is about. Does anyone else go through this? How do I fix it?

Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
You need to put the files into itunes.
Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.

TimeMachine reports "Backup Disc full" but TC has still 250 GB free space

Hi
i have a little problem with my TC 500GB. After a few backups which worked fine, my TC reported that the backup Volume is full and that TM has to delete an older backup. But my TC has still 250 GB free space (as shown in the airport utility and over the finder).
I have only one partition or drive on my TC (as shipped).
The first solution for me would be to erase the drive on the TC and Reset it. But i would like to avoid to backup my files again over wireless lan.
Any ideas how to solve this problem without deleting the drive on the TC and resetting it?
thanks

Hi,
Have you received any responses at all to this? It doesn't seem so.
I have exactly the same problem with a 1TB TC and my wife's MB C2D. It had some problems backing up for a while (apparently due to all the wireless issues being reported on these discussion boards - and NOT due to DNSchanger, I've checked). After I managed to get it backed up again by plugging in direct and left backing up overnight, it is now reporting that the backup disk is "almost full". However, there's over 450GB of space left and my MacBook Pro, which also backs up to the same TC is not reporting any issues.
If anyone knows what the solution might be, please let me know.
Rgds,
Guy

TS1587 I tried everything, except for reinstalling the SO-DIMM memory modules. Still, my iMac will not wake up. Turning it on you can hear the fan run, but the display stays dark. Any ideas what to do? Thanks Maja

My iMac won't start up, or wake from sleep. I've tried everything, except for reinstalling the SO-DIMM memory modules. Still, my iMac will not wake up. Turning it on, you can hear the fan run, but the display stays dark. Any ideas what to do? Thanks!

Mac doesn't boot
Can you hear the fans and hard drive and see the white boot screen? Flashing question mark? The circle just runs and nothing happens? Only black screen and nothing else? These can be very helpful to diagnose the source of the problem. [1]
Flashing question mark [2]: This is usually a sign of a failed hard drive. This indicates that boot up volume can not be found.
Black screen: This is usually a sign of a failed logic board. There is no single reason for this and this may be caused by failed GPU, screen, CPU or RAM.
Circle of death/no circle/blue screen: This is usually a sign of a hard drive failure. This may NOT be a dead hard drive, just broken permissions or something
Gray screen/Apple logo/spinning gear or globe/prohibitory sign/folder with flashing question mark [3]: This could be a sign of faulty hardware but more likely a software issue, i.e. broken permissions, failed software update, etc.
[edit]
What to do
First, hold down the option key (also known as the alt key) just after you've pressed the power button. This should show all the available options to boot from, so if you have Windows installed through Bootcamp or a disk in your SuperDrive, you should be able to see them along with your OS X drive/partition. Select the OS X partition with arrow keys and press enter. Startup key combinations
If that doesn't help continue doing the steps from below:
1. SMC reset [4]. Shut down and unplug all cables including power cord for at least 30 seconds and then plug in power cord and keyboard/mouse.
2. PRAM reset [5]. Hold down option, command, P and R while booting. Start it when you hear the sound and don't let go before it reboots.
3. Safe boot [6]. Hold down shift while booting to boot into safe mode. If this works, open Disk Utility from Utilities and repair your permissions and verify the disk
4. Hardware test [7]. Insert the install disk (disk 1 in Mac which shipped with OS X 10.5.4 or earlier, disk 2 if shipped with OS X 10.5.5 or newer) and hold down "D" before the grey boot screen opens. Follow on screen instructions
5. Boot from install disk. Boot from the disk that came with your Mac. Hold C while booting. Select Disk Utility from top bar and repair permissions and verify the disk. Reboot normally and see if it works now.
6. Boot from another Mac (Firewire target disk mode). Connect the machines with a Firewire cable. Power on your Mac and press T. Select the other Mac's hard drive. Download the current OS X combo update. Run the combo update installer and select the drive that won't boot as the destination.
7. "Repair" OS X. Boot from the install disk as in point 5. and reinstall OS X. This should NOT erase any data, just replaces the system files which may have caused your booting problem. Now install the latest combo update for OS X and repair permissions on your drive with Disk Utility.
7.1. Install OS X into an external hard drive and then boot from it [8] and try to copy your data from the hard drive before proceeding. If you have done a backup recently, you don't have to do this.
8. Restore OS X from Time Machine backup. Boot from the disk that came with your Mac and choose the Time Machine restore option. This step will lose any changes made since your last backup but the system and your data will be put back to exactly as it was on that date.
8.1 Reinstall OS X. Boot from the install disk as in point 5. and select Disk Utility again. Now erase the whole hard drive and install OS X again. If you had a Time Machine backup and step 7 worked you don't have to do this.

Erasing everything still doesn't free up my memory...
