Hoe do I remove the other data from a 2nd generation shuffle ?

I've got a GB of other data on my 2nd gen shuffle that I can't remove. This means instead of haveing 967 mb I've acctually got 964.2. Anyone got any ideas what the GB of other  is and if, and how, I can remove it ?

You cannot remove it.
It is normal to have a gb or so of other.  Much more than this indicates corrupt files.  A restore Should resolve.

  • Master Data Service: how to remove the dirty data from master data service from a table using store procedure?

    hello, we need to remove the dirty data from MDS, but we found we can only do this from MDS web, and we need to do this by store procedure to make this process automatically. is there any easy method to remove the data from MDS automatically? thank.
    Warren

    Hi Warren,
    Assuming the dirty data is easily identifiable, all you need to do is use the staging process with import type of 5 (de-activate - i.e., soft delete) or import type of 6 (hard delete).
    Could give more details if I knew the version of MDS you are running (SQL 2008R2 or SQL 2012).
    Kind regards,

  • How do I stop the "other" data from growing every time I sync my iPhone?

    I recently started putting music on my iPhone 4s, and I found that every time I sync music, the "other" storage keeps growing. This only happens when I sync music. If I don't have music on my iPhone, the "other" doesn't grow. Why is this?? Does anyone know how to make this stop? I had to restore my phone as new to delete the "other" storage (I had almost 3 G on my 8 G iPhone). Because the "other" data takes up so much room, I find it difficult to add everything that I want to on my iPhone (like all of my music). Please help!

    Hello brownielox,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:

    iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
    Resolution
    Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
    Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
    Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
    Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
    Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
    Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
    Restore using iTunes.
    Have a nice day,

  • How do I remove the "other" stuff from my macbook air memory?

    I have a Macbook air with a 60 gb hard drive. My memory keeps filling up even though I keep erasing things off my computer. Deleted a bunch of music, bunch of pictures, etc. I don't have any videos on my hard drive nor software that takes up a lot of space. Every time I erase or transfer something to make more room on my hard drive, the extra space is suddenly taken by "other". Right now "other" is taking up 30 gigs of my hard drive. I understand there is system stuff included in this, but should it be taking up 30 gigs? How do I shrink it?

    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 a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a 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 and start typing the name.
    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.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • How do i move data from my 2nd generation to the new ipod touch coming out on oct 12?

    I know how you can back up and restore from back up on the same generation. But since they have different software will it still work?

    Back up manually, transfer your purchases, let iTunes set up the new device and restore from the the manual backup.

  • Can't Delete "Other Data" from iPod

    I recently used Rhapsody to try and transfer songs to my iPod. Unfortunately, Rhapsody must've transferred the songs in a format that iPod doesn't recognize. How do I remove this "Other" data from my iPod without having to reset it?
    Dell   Windows XP  

    Do you see the songs in Rhapsody? Surely Rhapsody has a way to remove them. I tried this once but got angry when I couldn't listen to those songs in iTunes. I don't remember there being a problem removeing the songs using iTunes but it was awhile back and I don't remember.
    Other than that, try sorting your songs by Kind in iTunes. This will give you nice divisions based on the file type. Another thing you can do is look at your iPod as a hard drive on your computer and see if the files are in there.
    Good luck!

  • 10.4.1.19 (Win 64 bit) upgrade removes the "get" button from podcasts

    Upgraded and now the "get" button is misssing from the Podcasts I'm subscribed to

    Im not seeing that on my Mac, but some people with Windows based computers are discussing that here -> Podcast, download all?
    They mention a workaround of doubleclicking the podcast.
    Did you find the podcast by browsing the iTunes Store? Try subscribing to a new podcast in the iTunes, like Lifehacker. If it doesn't have the issue, try removing the other subscription from iTunes and then adding it again.

  • The iCloud was never verified therefore never backing up anything on my iphone 4s because it was the wrong email and now I'm trying to make a new one but it says if I delete the account it will remove it's data from my phone. Will I lose everything?

    The iCloud was never verified therefore never backing up anything on my iphone 4s because it was the wrong email and now I'm trying to make a new one but it says if I delete the account it will remove it's data from my phone. So if I put delete account will I lose everything on my Iphone?

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

  • How do I remove the photo dates other than with Sport Removal?

    How can I remove the photo dates that appear in yellow from a photo other than using the Spot Removal tool which has not worked?

    While I agree that more detail is necessary from the original poster ... maybe even a screen capture
    I don't know if this is what the original poster means, but when I have tried to use the Lightroom 5 Enhanced Spot Removal Tool for this purpose, I could never obtain a solution that seemed to remove the offending object and fill in the desired area with a relatively continuous and natural looking result. It always seemed clear to me, when I tried to do this, that the result always had un-natural looking discontinuities in the end result caused by my application of the Enhanced Sport Removal Tool.
    And so, in my case, to eliminate the dates from the bottom of my photos, I wound up using different software ... in my case Photoshop Elements, which produced a more satisfactory result.
    On the left is the version of the photo created by Photoshop Elements, the date is missing (and at the bottom right, a lamp to illuminate the sign is also missing); while on the right is the image with no attempt to remove the date and lamp. My attempts to reproduce the removal of this date via Lightroom were unsuccessful, the grass never looked natural, the grass always had discontinuities which made the result unsatisfactory, and I did not save the Lightroom attempts to remove the date and lamp. (And if you look carefully on the left, you can see places where the shadows abrupty have disappeared, an artifact of the process, however I still deemed the photo on the left to be successful at the removal of these items, as I don't usually focus on the shadows)

  • Removing all the hidden data from photos

    If I export a photo to share, I often want to remove all the extra hidden stored data such as date taken exposures etc. Is this easy?
    Rod

    Hi rod,
    By accident I found that a little app I use (ImageWell) to add connotations and text to my screenshots also strips most if not all the EXIF data from an image that you drag out of the Image well.
    I just checked it out again. I dragged an image into the well, changed the name of the image and dragged it out. The EXIF data was gone when I opened it with Preview and did Tools/Get info.
