How do I reduce the amount of Gbs that my music takes up

I have roughly 2400 songs and it's taking 16 Gbs which I cannot load onto my iPhone any way I can reduce the file size without re-importing the songs?

There is also the option to convert files as they are copied to the device to make them take up less room, which leaves you the better quality originals in your library.

  • How do I reduce the amount of space that "Other" takes up on my macbook pro.

    I've just bought a new macbook pro with Retina display & running Yosemite. I have the 128Gb version.
    Initially I downloaded all my music into iTunes, but after seeing that it took up almost 40Gb of the 128Gb I decided to delete it from the Macbook. But now I find that I have 40Gb of "Other" in it's place. Does anyone know what "Other" is and how I can reduce it's bulk? (Image attached)

  • How do I reduce the amount of emails that load onto my iPad?

    I have 3 email accounts that bring in 9999 email messages each, I have one account that brings in 5000 emails. Whenever I delete emails it pulls in older ones.
    My iPad is full.
    I want to change the settings to bring in only 1000 per account.
    I remember selecting the maximum emails when I set up the iPad but now I can't figure out how to change it back... Help!

    This did not help!
    I went to setting, mail, and there is no option for how many emails will load.
    Please help!,,

  • How do i reduce the amount of storage that is taken up by the "other" category?

    so the category the is yellow and is labelled as other, is taking up a lot of my data, i read online that it helps to delete all the browse history etc. which i did but it did virtually nothing. It is taking up 2.70gb and i dont have enough room to download all the music that i have seletcted which is 493 song which is said to be 3.07gb, my phone has a capacity of "16gb" which is really 13.50gb and i just want to get rid of the "other" because it is silliness.

    It is quite common for the program size listings to be wrong. To check the actual size of the Firefox installation, you can manually check the size of the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory]. It is is typically around 26-30Mb, and the default location on 32 bit Windows is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    There are also a couple of other locations where Firefox stores data, check the size of the following folders as well.
    Firefox also stores user data such as bookmarks and passwords in the [[profiles|profile folder]]. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
    Firefox stores temporary files in the cache. To find the location of the cache, type '''about:cache''' into the location bar. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
    The last 2 folders are normally hidden, you may need to set Vista to [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial130.html show hidden files and folders].

  • HT3919 In the past was able to adjust the memory for each individual application, my Illustrator CS5 appears is doesn't have enough memory to complete a particular project. How do I boost the amount of memory that Illustrator uses so I can complete my pro

    In the past I have always been able to adjust the memory of each individual application,
    my Adobe Illustrator CS5 appears that is doesn't have enough memory to complete a particular project.
    How do I boost the amount of memory that Illustrator uses so I can complete my project?

    With OS X, it automatically allocates RAM and it can't be allocated manually.
    What model Mac do you have and what OS X version is it running. Your profile shows a PowerMac and OS 10.6.8. A PowerMac can't run OS 10.6.8. It's max OS is 10.5.x
    How much RAM is installed in your Mac? You need to max out the RAM and close other open apps if you are having problems with Illustrator.

  • How can I reduce the amount of storage my iPhone uses for messages?

    Is there any way to reduce the amount of storage space my iPhone uses for Messages?  Can I limit the storage to the last year or some other limit (specific date, specific amount of storage etc.)?
    Thank you

    I'm not sure there is a solution to your question, other than to not keep so many photos on your devices.  If you delete a photo from photo stream, it will delete it from all your devices.  To keep them, first save them to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  However, given the number of photos you have, a much more practical solution would be to transfer them to your computer using an app like PhotoSync, which will select them all at once and transfer them over wifi.
    I'm not sure why you're seeing such a discrepancy in the amount of space taken up by your photos.  It's possible that something is corrupt given the large number of photos on your device.

  • How can I reduce the amount of user prompts for Email setup in Apple Configurator?

    I am working on deploying profiles via Apple's new Apple Configurator which allows me to install apps and settings exactly how I want them. My question pertains to the email setup where anything left blank in the payload gets prompted on the device for user input. Is there anyway to have the user only enter in their user name and password once and use that for the SMTP outgoing settings as well? I'd like to reduce the user interaction to a minimal.Currently they enter in their full name, email address, user name for incoming, password for incoming, and then user name AGAIN for outgoing (I checked the box for 'Outgoing password same as incoming'). Is there anyway to retain the username and avoid having the user enter it in twice?
    If not, I can make do with how it is, but was rather curious if this is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'll try this again starting it as new, but when I restored it before (after deleting all the apps and music off it) it didn't help.  Thanks for the suggestion!

    I have 2.28 GB 'other' used space on my iphone 4S 16GB running IOS 6.02 latest IOS and synced with IMAC using the latest OSX 10.8.2 and latest Itunes.
    How do i reduce this. what is the 2.28 made up of?
    If the space is old emails, texts, address book contacts as a cursory google search seems to suggest how to i reduce each component part?
    Any suggestions / advice appreciated.

  • I have a lot of 'other' data on my iPhone 4 summary on iTunes. I looked on the internet it said stuff like you should restore it etc, but i would like to keep all of my data. How do I reduce the amount of 'other' data which is around 3.5 GB

    Hi,
    On my macbook pro, I have connected it with my Iphone 4, on the summary it says that I have 3.5 GB of 'other' data, which is bigger than my photos and music. How do I make this smaller without losing all of my data in a restoration. I do not kno what the difference is between a normal restoration and a restoration form back up. Also i have already tried deleting old messsages and book marks but nothing is working. I searched on the internet and it said something about it being corrupted!!
    Please Help!!!!!!
    Thankyou!!!

  • How can I reduce the amount of storage a shared photo stream is taking on one of my devices

    I have over 8000 photos on the Cloud in various shared photostreams.  They all appear on all my devices which is great.  The devices show the photos using about 1GB of memory unless I plug into iTunes when it reveals they are in fact using circa 15GB!!  This is ok on the devices with large memory capacity but one of my 'phones is only 16GB in total and is now full.
    If I try to delete a photostream on this phone it threatens to delete the photostream on all my devices.
    It would appear that my cloud storage for photostream is limited by the device with the least memory. 
    Any ideas on solutions gratefully received.  Buy a new phone with more memory or delete some of the photostreams are the sub optimal ideas I have at present.
    Also why is the usage understated on the devices and only revealed when I plug in to iTunes?
    Many Thanks
    D

  • How do you reduce the amount of memory in the other file?

    I have 2.4 gb of memory being used/wasted in my other file on my iPhone 4s. How do I get rid of it, or at least reduce it?

    Only be resetting your iPhone. It is not a "file." Other simply refers to data that cannot be put into one of the other defined categories. It can include app data, mail, etc.
