How do I locate and delete the "other" used space on my Ipod 2 ?

Not only did I get curious about the Autofill button and lose all of my music on my Ipod Nano 2nd Edition but now my Ipod is showing that I have 90% Other stored on it and can't figure out how to locate and delete it! I have looked all over online and nothing seems to work because mine is a different model.. :/ Someone HELP me PLEASE!

You probably have data corruption. You may want to do a Restore, as the simplest fix. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. It will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. All data will be erased, including whatever is taking up space as "Other."

Your old account is the one you migrated, but it has been renamed because the new account had the same name. "Fixing" this is a bit complicated. It is possible to transfer data from one account to the other. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.
A cleaner solution is to do this:
Create a temporary new admin user account with a completely different username.
Log into this new account.
Delete the new account you created before migrating.
Delete the old account you migrated that has the changed name.
Re-migrate your old account from the Mini.
Log into the newly migrated account and delete the temporary account.
And, the simplest solution is to use the migrated account as-is and delete the account you originally made on the new computer.

I used Duplicate Annihilator to isolate dups in iPhoto on my iMac. At the end it told me it had marked the word duplicate in the comments / description field. How do I find and delete the marked photos?

File -> New Smart Album
Description -> contains -> Duplicate
will find them.
Then the keystroke to delete depends on which version of iPhoto you have. All the keyboard shortcuts are under the Help menu.

I have some suggestion one leave it as is and use a blending mode of multiply to give it a color background like this
leave it as is make it a grayscale tiff import int Illustrator and color it it in Illustrator like this
Or trace over it with the brush tool aand then give it a color ground.
Or do the original over and do a cleaner job with no tone or a minimum of tone. Then Live trace.

Do you have a wifi signal? In order for the wifi only iPad to get any location fix, it needs to be connected to a wifi node - it's only way to determine locations is by looking up the wifi networks hardware address in Apple's wifi node location database of approximate locations (as mentioned already, it has no GPS chipset to use GPS location data).

My hard driver is apparently full - but it is full of "other" files. I have cleared downloads and removed my music and pictures, but it still thinks it is full - how do I access and delete the files?

I am having real trouble with the mac book air and i dont know what to do. It thinks it is full, i get warning messages every day, but when i check how the storage is being used it is 45.79 GB of "other" and I can't work out where to locate and delete these files. I have removed all my music and pictures, there are nearly no documents on the bloody thing, i have cleared the downloads, I have run a cc cleaner programme but nothing seems to touch this "other" amount. Its so annoying as it is getting to a point where i can't use the computer properly anymore. Do you have any clue what it could be or how i can deal with it?
It did this last year but not as bad, i never solved it then i just removed all my own files but now "other" is taking that space too. On a windows computer you would be able to click through and view what was taking up the space but you can't seem to do that on a mac. could it be a virus that makes the hard driver think it is full?
Any ideas what I can do?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
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 reboot. 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. 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 asBackups. 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. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) 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.
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 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 ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the 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
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 (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. 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.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS 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 ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How can I locate and delete torrent files from my mac

I recently deleted a bunch of old files from macbook air from a p2p website I use (vuze.com) when I checked back on my hdd it was still full, and loaded with 'other files' which I'm pretty sure are torrents. I'm wondering how I can find these files (because I can't seem to locate them with spotlight) and trash them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For starters... you may already know this, but be sure to empty your trash. You can use something like OmniDiskSweeper (free) to show where most of your space is being taken up. It will list your folders/files in order of size. This will generally make any folder which is excessively large show up right away:

How do i find and delete the hidden .trashes folder on my sd card?

I just recently bought a new canon 600d camera and i also bought a new 16gb sd card for it.
I use this camera for videos mostly.
My card seems to fill up incredibly quickly and when i empty it, it stills says about 600mb is taken up. I looked it up and apparently its because of a hidden folder called .trashes? I cant figure out how to find this folder or how to delete it.
Ive seen a few people say you can find it somehow using finder, but my issue is that my camera doesnt show up in the finder, a program called image capture comes up and i can import all my videos from there perfectly fine.
this problem is really annoying me because even when my sd card says its 849mb full, after recording two or three clips, my camera stops recording automatically due to the card being almost full even though its nowhere near full and i have 14.9 gb left?
Im really confused and i just need some guidance on how to go about finding this .trashes file and deleting it.
As you can tell im not too great with technology so any help would be appreciated, thanks.
apologies if this question isnt in the right place, ive never really used this before.

i imported all the files in my sd card to my mac and then i did format the card, it says 160kb is used up.
I also did find files in the trash when i connected the camera to the macbook and deleted them all, there is nothing left in the camera or the trash and it still says 160kb used :/

How do I find and delete the pictures/videos folder on my iMac so I can repopulate it?

Heading says it all

In response to #6,7 and 8.
Earlier, when I mentioned that I had duplicates in iPhoto, its because I was seeing 2 copies of the same pictures and sometimes 3...I wasn't sure why but I suspect that over the past few years I must have been doing something that copied some/many pictures to another location and iphoto had 2 copies to show me...I think I've resolved that with the apple tech guy because we merged everything into 1 single folder on my external harddrive. We then repopulated iPhoto...so everything looks good now...but I haven't gone through every single picture yet...but like I said, I suspect its ok now...no duplicates.
However! I think I understand what YOU were referring to as duplicates. I think you meant having 2 databases of all my pictures...is that correct? In that case, I can definitely see the problem with that. I don't have 20,000 pictures like I'm sure some people have...its more like 1,500. However, lets assume that was 100 gigs of info. Well, then (again if I understand correctly), Organizer doesn't actually share the pictures from iPhoto...it can't as you said. So it pulls copies of the pictures and makes its own database. That would obviously double the amount of space the pictures were using up. So in this case, I would have 100gigs for iPhoto and 100 gigs for Organizer. Is this correct???
I think I also understand why Organizer and iPhoto needs their own library of photos...its for the editing reasons...right? So if all my pictures reside in an iPhoto library, then in order for me to use Organizer, I would HAVE to import the pictures from iPhoto so that I would be able to use Organizer...to EDIT the photos...correct?
Ok, If you say yes to both those questions...then that's a relief lol.
In that case, I have to say that so far...I DO prefer the way iPhoto works with importing and organizing the photos. It also manages (if I'm not mistaken here) the movie clips I record with my iPhone and iPad. I still haven't used PSE to any great extent because I've been trying to learn and understand all this photo/video media management first.
My wife and I are thinking of buying a really good DSLR camera. We've never had a really good camera but we were recently on a trip and one of our friends had some expensive ($4,000) camera and took some pictures of us. He is also a passionate hobiest of picture taking...so he's taken courses and as such, is very good! He showed us the pictures he took and we were totally impressed!
So now my wife and I have decided to invest in a really good camera. Our children are still young and we would love to have much better quality pictures. The one thing our friend suggested was to use Adobe...but I think he said he uses Lightroom?
So at this point, I've been going back and forth comparing iPhoto and PSE's. The other thing is, the company we are planning on buying the camera from is Henry's camera's. They also offer courses on picture taking and photo editing (seperate courses). The software they use? PSE on iMacs.
In the end, I just want to ensure that I'm not short changing myself in terms of using the most versatile photo editing software available. I'm sure there are even better software programs...but probably way to advanced for us...

My iPhone 5 claims to have 1.81GB(211 photos) of storage taken by "Photo Library". How do I locate and delete these ghost images to free up my storage space?

Hello. I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now. I just did a factory reset on it for the first time. When I look at storage usage in my iPhone settings, or when I connect my phone to iTunes, it claims that I have 211 Photos taking up 1.81GB of my storage. I'm very confused why because I've deleted every single image I can find. I deleted Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Facebook, etc., assuming that one of these apps was storing these images somewhere. After doing a full factory reset and iCloud backup(excluding photos), I still have the 1.81GB of photos that I just cannot find. I've already tried to delete them through iTunes, unfortunately to no avail. It specifically states there is 211 photos taking up the space. Can anybody help me find these ghost images before I lose my mind??

Copying files works OK, but not moving. It seems like recently(iOS8?), when you try to delete photos from an iPhone that has been mounted you will get a 'permission denied' error. I haven't found a way around this.
I've resorted do manually deleting using one-by-one selections on the iPhone itself. Dropbox carousel is great for this but I don't use Dropbox yet. They other way is to do an iTunes sync and then delete the synced folder contents but that just feels 'weird'. Maybe there's a good App out there for photo management.

How to I locate and delete duplicate documents and files

I am trying to clean up my macbook and want to find and delete duplicate documents and files. How do I do this?

Finding duplicate files is something a lot of people do. I do not understand why Apple hasn't built it as part of Smart Folders? It would have taken a good coder only 1 hour of work to do that!
Pathetic of Apple, really pathetic! A prime example of crippleware!

Help, how to install jvm and set the classpath using a batch file

hello,
i have created my java application and now have to create an installable / batch file which will install the JVM on the users machine and also the java packages such as javamail and the class files that i have created . it also has to set the classpath.
i would like to know if anyone can tell me how to go about iti.e. how can i install the JVM using a batch file and then place the javamial packages etc in the apropriate directory .
or is it advisable to explain it to the user how to go about it in tht user manual.
and would also like to know that if i install the JVM will the path for the java.exe be set
or will i have to set the path explicitly from the "batch file" so that the user can run the application without and problem just by running the java command followed by filename from the command prompt.

hi,
I have windows and I use it.
The only problem with the free edition is that you can only create 1 launcher and that during the installation you get 1 popup showing that the installer was created with an unregistered version.
