How do I keep TB from taking up excessive space on my hard drive?

My TB "All Mail" folder is using 24GB (versus only 4GB in Gmail). I can't find any NSTMP files to delete under imap.googlemail.com or anywhere else. Under imap.google.com there are only two folders -- [Gmail].sbd and INBOX.std. The latter folder is empty. Suggestions?

Which file(s) in your profile is/are the large one(s) then?
I don't think it makes much sense to subscribe to 'All Mail'. So if you don't really need it, you could simply unsubscribe from 'All Mail'.
When did you compact folders the last time?

  • How can i transfer music from my Ipod nano to my new hard drive

    Hi, I have a I pod Nano 6th edition.I downloaded music from my CD collection and I purchased a few CD's from ITunes. I had problems with the hard drive and had to have a new hard drive installed. I was advised to save my ITunes library and my photos and any other important documents on my hard drive.I saved everything onto a pen drive.
    I have tried to reinstall everything onto my new hard drive. I had no problem with the photos or documents,but the ITunes folders are giving me problems.
    I have downloaded the updated ITunes web site onto my new hard drive.I have tried to send the folder from pen drive to the iTunes folder and My Music folder.
    I also tried dragging the folder from the pen drive to the my music folder. For some reason 3 tracks from about 4 hundred have arrived in the My Music Folder.
    I am afraid to plug my Ipod into the laptop as I was told I could lose every thing
    Is there any way to solve my problem??
    Help

    As noted from that article, you may need to authorize the computer.

  • How do I keep programs such as Word when I wipe my hard drive to reinstall Snow Leopard?

    I am having serious issues with Lion. Even after the update, I lose WiFi, my mailbox crashes, Word crashes without saving a backup, and it has just been a very distasteful experience. I talked with Apple, and they couldn't help me resolve issues beyond telling me to bring it in or reinstall. I am choosing to reinstall Snow Leopard. I am going to wipe my hard drive clean and start over. Could someone tell me how to keep programs such as Office '11 though? I am currently at school and I didn't bring my Office software with me to reinstall, so how could I save it? I can't really do a time capsule since I am running Lion and I want to reinstall Snow Leopard.

    If you are going to wipe the disk then you will have to reinstall the software.

  • How to move multiple emails from Mail to my folders on the hard drive

    I would like to be able to move multiple emails at a time from a given mailbox to a selected folder on the hard drive in a format that I can subsequently read.
    I know I can move them one at a time in RTF. And either RTF or HTML would be fine (along with whatever attachments) as a format.
    But I can't seem to find either a command or a format that will allow me to do this.
    My goal isn't archiving -- I want easy access to these emails and their attachments. I just want to get them out of Mail and into the folders on my hard drive that have other documents with related content.
    I would greatly appreciate any advice that someone could give me.

  • How can I transfer bookmarks from my old (dead) computer's good hard drive?

    My old computer is dead but the hard drive is good. I had Vista on the old computer and Firefox 6 or 7, I'm not sure. The new computer is Win 7 professional, 64 bit and has Firefox 8 on it.
    The old C drive is now an external USB drive on my new computer and is working perfectly.
    I had an extensive list of bookmarks. How can I transfer them to my new Firefox?

  • How do I transfer photos from my mac mini to my external hard drive without iPhoto?

    I am trying to get my already downloaded onto my mac photos onto my external hard drive but my computer will not alow me to.
    Any Help?

    I've been trying to do the same myself, want to move pictures from my new iMac to my new Macbook Air, made the switch big time!   I thought that a Mac was famous for ease of use.   Plug in passport usb portable, find it in the finder, open another finder winder, try to drag photo library over..... nope.    Open the Iphoto program, edit, select all, drag to passport...... nope.  Extremely frustrating.  On a PC it would be done in minutes or less.  Either my head is in the wrong place or I'm missing something.   GGRRRRRRR     Any help would be appreciated before they both go back in their boxes and I pull the PC back out of the closet.   LOL

  • How can I tell what is using up the space on my hard drive?

    My computer has been messing up for a while, giving me the message "startup disc almost full". I only have 4 gb free space now, after throwing all my photos and music onto external drive. What is making my disc so full? All the rest of my files are text? How can I figure out what is taking up so much space? Thanks

    Moving iTunes music is more involved than a simple
    drag and drop affair; you would be making copies on
    some other media, but could be leaving duplicates or
    originals on the hard drive in the process. Same with
    images and iPhoto derived items. There are some
    Apple Support documents on how to manage these.
    The user folder has things in it you have installed;
    generally your saved items would be found in there.

  • I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

    i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

    Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
    Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
    You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly:  File>Transfer Purchases  , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?

    How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?  I am fimilar with changing the setting for all network partitions(defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true), but that is undesirable when I connect my laptop to my home network. A preferable solution would be where I could control the writing of these files based on disk format (NTFS vs HFS+).

    Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for ds_store. There are numerous utilities for preventing them from being transferred to Windows systems.

  • How do I keep itunes from putting things into the cloud after I've downloaded them?

    Hello - Not everyone lives in Silicon Valley or New York City.  I have a relatively slow internet connection so it takes about 2 hours to download a 45-minute tv episode.  Yesterday I did that, and today I went to watch it and it had been put back in the cloud!  "No problem," says Apple, "You can download it again."  It takes f**** 2 hours to download it again.  How can I keep Itunes from putting things I've already downloaded back into the cloud?

    How do I keep itunes from putting things into the cloud after I've downloaded them?
    You don't. They are in the cloud as soon as you make a purchase. As in immediately/right now. They don't get uploaded from yoru computer to the cloud.
    Did you delete it after you watched it?

  • How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    Have you seen this?
    Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
    A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
    If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

  • How do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring purchases from my iPhone?

    Well, earlier in the year I had a Hard Drive failure. After having it fixed not all my files where on my Mac, including my iTunes media. So I connect my iPhone and it asks me if I want to transfer purchases? I click yes, the transfer wnet fine but some old media transferd too. I didn't want it so I simply deleted it. But when I plug my iPhone in now, it automatically says transfering purchases from Alex's iPhone. I then clicked on the "X" to cancel the task. But how do I keep iTunes from automatically transferring the old material?

    iTunes/Preferences/Devices - Select "Prevent iPods, iPhone, iPads from syncing automatically."
