HELP: library went from 5 GB to 365 GB in one day

I was putting new music into my library today and for some reason after i added a song to my library, it said it could not be added because there was not enough memory in my library.
when i looked at the bottom of the window it read that i have 365.92 GB, which is impossible seeing as i have roughly 1700 songs total, and one short music video.
someone pleeease help im not sure what happened.

i checked that but i only had a few
i think what actually happened was apple updated everything so that any music not purchased or already owned isnt able to be accessed
im not sure though...

Suddenly I cannot print from firefox. It was printing one day and would not communicate with the printer the next.

Suddenly I cannot print any web pages from Firefox. It was printing one day and not communicating with the printer the next. Did not happen with an upgrade to Firefox or plugins. Printer dialog came up but nothing sent to printer.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== suddenly- no known reason

I cannot print from Firefox either all of a sudden. Maybe first thing in the AM, it will print something but then, that's it. I am running OX 10.5 too and using Firefox 3.6.8. I am ready to stop using this!! I like it but it is frustrating. I am on my mac all day for work and cannot find a solution to this Firefox problelm. Maybe Mozilla can help me. Anyone have any answers? I use a HP Laserjet 2300L.
Thanks.

On my 90 day old MacBook Pro I can't send or receive (Mobile Me) email via "Mail." The fetch icon keeps spinning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm only one day past the free Apple care. Thanks!

Library went from 5k songs to 30 after upgrade to iTunes7. Help.

Upgraded to iTunes 7, and my library lost all songs except those added since 7/23/06. I lost about 5,000 songs. They're all still in my iPod though. Any idea what happened?

Need Help! went from Mac OS 10.3.9 to reinstall now at 10.3.3 Help!

I had Mac OS 10.3.9 installed and updated with the latest updates. First Safari went down --could not bring in a web site to save it's life! then slowly other things seemed buggy.
So I did the usual -dumped cache, history, backed up every thing. Then decided to reinstall from disc--10.3.3 OS.
Now all my Adobe and Macromedia software (all legal) will not start up do I have to re-install all software. Plus when I try to run System software Updates the machine says I can't connect to the net --but I can. I have a backup of all software updates I had downloaded earlier and it says I can't run them. Trying to update -stair step style starting with 10.3.4. Error says "You cannot install this software, on this Volume. This Volume does not meet the requirements for this update." What can I do? any suggestions? Thank you for help.

When updated iTunes, library went from 4GB to 36GB!

The subject is fairly self explanatory.
I have 993 songs in my iTunes Music Library. I had an older version of iTunes (Sorry, not sure which. I don't think I've updated in a while...), and it said my total library size was about 4 GB (fairly accurate for 993 songs? 8GB iPod nanos are advertised as able to hold 2000 songs. 993 is about half, so should be half of 8GB). I just updated to the latest version of iTunes (7.2, I believe?). My library still contains 993 songs, but it now says that my library size is 36 GB! Did the update do something to my files, make them bigger? I only have a 20 GB iPod (should be able to hold this many songs EASILY), when I next add music to my iPod, am I going to run into some problems? Thanks for any help you have!

archivist08,
Get a new SIM card from AT&T, as long as the iPhone hasn't been blocked by AT&T from being reported as stolen. Restore the iPhone without the SIM card in, and then insert the new SIM card and activate.
Hope this helps,

Help, I went from android to iOS

I had a Samsung Galaxy note (1) with AT&T, I am severely visually impaired and require glasses to read up close, I have SSI and even though I had insurance on my phone (it broke), it still would've cost me $200 (which I don't have just sitting around) to get a new one . So I went for the cheapest option, which was the iPhone 5s for $50 (I am paying my father back, because he bought it for me)...my galaxy note was able to zoom better on the internet and I was actually able to make the Interface and text ACTUALLY bigger, not like the fudge apple is feeding me right now >:(
I don't want my texts being blurted out loud for everyone to hear all the time...and I don't want my contacts text to be so freaking big that I can only see 1 letter...aside from the dumb double tap zoom feature (which is pointless on a device like this when you've got large hands!!!!) does anyone know how I can legally make the interface on my iPhone 5s just a bit bigger? Any keyboards I can buy or get for free that will make MY keyboard, not some stupid app that makes me copy and paste, bigger!? I CANT TAKE THIS FOR TWO MORE YEARS!!! I CANT STRAIN MY EYE FOR THIS LONG!!!! IT IS THE ONLY WORKING EYE I HAVE LEFT AND I WANT TO KEEP IT, AND MY PRIVACY, JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER!!! T n T
I've used all the features it gives you:
- Bold keyboard, which I have to say is useless, because my keyboard isn't blooded right now, only in very few apps.
-High Contrast, which is USELESS if I'm not able to read stuff very well...
-Dynamic Text, WHICH DOESNT WORK ON ANYTHING BUT MY TEXT MESSAGES AND CONTACTS!!!!!!! I have to get back on my computer if I even wanna think about using Facebook or to read articles!!!
-Invert colors: I honestly think it's freaking stupid!!! Reason why, is if I have a colored background that is just fine for my eyes (light sensitive) and I have high contrast on, that nice dim background turns into the sun and burns what is left of my retina!! >:( Honestly, I'd find retina display useless on a phone if your physical retina is pretty much burned away due to bright freaking light...I mean, seriously, my left retina is has deteriorated , but the white backgrounds on this phone makes my left eye hurt!! And if I turn down the contrast, it's too dark for me to even attempt to read anything on this electronic piece of paper.
-Talkback, I don't even want to get started on this...seriously...Talkback is very selective on what you can have it read to you. If I click on a text message, it doesn't even bother to read it!!! It just says, "text field" ***!?!?
Speak Selection and Speak Auto text: I am completely thrown off by these...I don't even know what they do!!! I turned them on and I never heard anything!! I assumed speak selection would read to you what you had highlighted...nope!! I made sure talkback was on when I used these, and I turned it off, too, just to see if they were standalone things.
So, thanks, Apple...thank you for making me regret switching from my samsung evergreen (small back-up phone I had. It is also broken. The speakers go off randomly).
It had a better interface than this...
I'm hoping I can just get my dad's money back and switch back to my evergreen...
But, if someone is able to help me, I'd be willing to keep this phone.
It has a flashlight feature...which I do find pretty cool for when I'm walking at night.

I chose iPhone 5s, but it clearly choose iPad 2, for me >:/ It took my an hour to type this with my iPhone. My dad typed this reply for me.

Documents in library went from English to Java Script

The documents in my libraries was all in English,
This changed from English into Java Script, Java Script Run Errors, and left some documents in English.
I'd like my library/document file back in alphabetized English only

Hello anitaworkman,
I understand that your files have changed to java script.
Open up command prompt and run the following command SFC /scannow.
This will scan the system files and correct any errors that it can.
Here is a link to command prompt.
When you go to open command prompt, right click and run as administrator.
If it has not been to long since the problem started, you can run a system restore.
This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
Here is a link on how to do a restore.
Let me know how everything goes.

Songs disappear from itunes library - and from the harddrive - by itself. One song here and there, not entire albums. Have been surfing on the web, and can see that many people have this problem. What is the solution?

I'm deeply worried. About to digitalize my entire CD collection, but can't continue until this problem is solved, or i'll risk slowly loosing my music. Song by song. Discovered the problem while browsing the Itunes library, when I realised that for example song number 2 and 11 was missing from one album, and 4 and 7 from another album. Very strange. When browsing the when I found lots of people experiencing the same. I'm using the 2011 Macbook Pro, and the Itunes library is on the Macbook Pro harddrive.
Hope someone can help....

just want to add that i use Itunes 10.4.1. But I can see that users have problems with many versions.
I have an ipod shuffle that i connect once and a while. But the songs that are dissappearing are not the ones on the ipod as far as i can see...

My library has went from thousands of songs to 60 and i dont know why, any suggestions how to get these back?

Also, there are no longer pictures associated with each contact.

Hardcover book order went from "printing" to "cancelled", help!

Help! My order for a hardcover iPhoto book went from "printing" on 1/31/08 to cancelled on 2/5/08.
It doesn't say why. I called the only # I could find, 1-800-MYAPPLE, and all they could do is fill out an email form and supposedly someone will contact me.
I did get a warning from iPhoto that 4 of the photos I was using out of the 100 or so, was too low resolution, but I "okayed" it, the order uploaded etc... I don't know what to do. I am trying to get my order in time for Valentine's day.
Anyone have any insight as to what is happening? I am using all the default type settings, it is using the font "HeleveticaNeue" or "Helevetic Neue" which are the defaults. I would change the 4 photos I am using but am afraid to get 2 books now. Can anyone offer any insight on all this? Thanks!

Did you get a confirmation e-mail
That has contact information in it
for status - http://www.apple.com/internetservices/yourorderstatus
For information - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/ww/
Unless the book is critical I'd not reorder until you figure this out - at the support services site there is an order history page that might help and a reorder form will let you reorder the exact book if you decide to do that

Try using this article to help with your iPad not showing up in iTunes---
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 -This deals with the device not being recognized in iTunes for Windows
The following steps work well with iPod but i would try them for help with your iPad issue:
Try connecting your iPad to another USB port directly on the computer. Verify that you're connecting it to a high-powered USB 2.0 port on your computer to be sure iPad is getting power. If you're connecting to a Windows laptop computer through USB, connect the laptop to a power outlet before connecting your iPad. Also, see iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB to be sure that your USB ports are supplying enough power.
Avoid connecting to an external USB hub. If a hub must be used, make sure the hub is USB 2.0, and that it has its own power supply. Also, make sure the hub is connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer.
If the issue persists, try disconnecting other USB devices from the computer such as printers, cameras, scanners, external hard drives, and USB hubs to determine if there is a conflict in the USB chain.

So My Iphone 4 recently went from 7gb available space to 185mb , please help!!, So My Iphone 4 recently went from 7gb available space to 185mb , please help!!

So recently my iphone went from 7gb available space to 185 mb available space, I know for a fact that im not using up this much space
I don't know why my iphone started taking up a random space like this, does anyone know a solution to my problem?

Connect it to iTunes and take a look at the color-coded storage usage bar at the bottom of the Summary page. Is anything out of wack in comparison to what you are syncing to the phone? If the Other category is in the multi-gigabyte range, you may have some or rust files on the phone. Best way to resolve that issue is to do a Restore.
