How much space do iTunes movies use?
my storage info for my hard drive says that more than 1/2 is taken up by movies. I have 2 movies downloaded from iTunes, that's it. I deleted all the quicktime movies that i didnt need and there was no change in the amount of space the "movies" took up. i'm at a loss. I would think 2 movies would take up so much space.
Empty the Trash.

in particular the part about other large files and fre apps you can use which provide more detailed information about space usage.

Who has maxed out their space on their 160? How much space can itunes store on a MacBook? should I just shift "jazz" to a new iPod and keep rock on my current 160? any suggestions?
I have not filled the iPod Classic 160 GB. I have most of my music and a few movies for traveling on that one. Before I bought it, I had a 20 GB that was always full. Now, what I do is have rock music on a shuffle that I use for biking or running. Audio Books are on an iPod Touch. The 20 GB unit is no longer used (given away) and replaced with the 160 that holds just about everything else.
The MacBook is limited by the size of the hard disk. Many people with have their entire iTunes library on an external USB or Firewire hard drive and have iTunes map to that. Remember that this is not truly a backup (if the library is only on one drive, it is not a backup, nor should the iPod/iPhone/iPad/etc. be considered a backup)
If you have the means to have another device, I would agree that splitting your music by genre on each device is the way to go. I've known people that sort their music on devices by artist, album, etc. As long as you find a way that works for you. -

PROBLEMS WITH HOW MUCH SPACE IS ACTUALLY BEING USED
Hello,
I've just recently purchased a Toshiba Dual Core laptop (225 gigs + 3 gig memory.) It works pretty well, but I've had to reload the windows and programs again. The reason is that after reloading I have about 203 gigs of space, but then I install flash CS3 (550 mgs and photoshop 200+) After I've installed all the doc files and everything I end up with about 200 gigs of space which is great. However, I've unistalled norton and installed AVG Professional. My space amount has gone down from 200 to about 193 gigs. I don't get it; it doesn't make sense because this is isn't how much space I've actually used. I've deleted temp files and all the install files of these other programs and what's even more crazy is that when I go ahead and run scan disk to deleted unecessary files, my space goes down in size and it shows that I have even less space! Has anyone else run into this problem? Let me know, perhaps there's a solution.
Thanks,
TseyigaiPSLE8U02PO1
Maybe that part number is PSLE8U-02P01D? If so, you have this model: Satellite L355D-S7901
How much space would be reasonable for me to cut back on?
I've set the shadow storage on the computers around here to 10 GB. Suit yourself.
You can save quite a bit of hard drive space by turning hibernation off. Check the size of that file. It's c:\hiberfil.sys.
And look through the stuff Disk Cleanup cites for more savings.
But if you really can't get along without more space, you should add external drives or upgrade this one.

How do I find out how much space a user is using towards their disk quota?
Weird problem on my OS X Server (Tiger) system: a user can't copy files into their share on the volume (SMB access from a WinPC) and is getting an "out of quota" error. She thinks she doesn't have that much stuff on the server, and I've set her quota to be huge. How do I find out, on the OS X Server system, how much space it thinks that username is using towards her quota?

Hi Michael, no experience with Server, and there is a Server forum that may get a better answer...

Thanks - I'll post there.
But, could this Quota/Share be over the 4GB SMB limit?
what's the 4Gb SMB limit? A single file is over that large? We don't have that. Or it can't see any shares that have more than 4 Gb in them total? We definitely have that!

How much space does iTunes take?
I'm afraid if it's too much, my laptop won't function properly. My laptop is already slowing down from all of it's contents. I want to know how much memory (in MB) iTunes takes up before downloading it on my laptop.
As a genreral rule, you should have 10%-15% free space on your boot drive.
A 250GB drive should have at least ~15GB-20GB free space. -
How much space does IOS 6 use vs IOS 5.1.1
I upgraded my iPhone 4S to IOS 6 yesterday. Today, I was telling a friend about it and she said she doesn't have enough free space to install it on her 8GB iPhone 4. This got me thinking that with all the upgrades, how much more space does IOS6 require vs IOS5.X.X. Does anyone know?
Thanks
MikeBit of a strange one, the file itself was 650-something MB, but when it came to install, it required me to have at least 2.5GB free space. When it was installed though, there was no change in the free space on my iphone. So, its a mystery.

How much space does iTunes need?
Hi!
When I drag my movies and TV-series into iTunes, the free space on my hard drive gets smaller. I understand that when I upload a movie on iTunes it makes a copy of the file. Is that correct? Can it be shut off so that iTunes will just stream the file or something instead of duplicating it? Otherwise I can't upload so many things
/JonasiTunes lets you delete 'database entries' for media easily but will ask if yiou want to delete the media files too.
If the media files have copied to itunes and they still exist elsewhere delete them safe to let itunes delete the copies to free up space, then re-add from the external drive or wherever they reside after changing the setting as advised by Sgt. Pinback.
Ensure you have backups and depending on system don't rush to empty Trash or Recycle Bin until you're happy.
So in essence you need to delete the copies from itunes, the re-add the files by reference (rather than copying).

How can you tell how much space is being used up by your iTunes...I am trying to figure out how much space I will need to transfer my iTunes library to an iPod and which iPod to select?
Start up iTunes, and select Music, then click Songs.
Down at the bottom of the iTunes window, it will tell you how much space your library occupies. -

when I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software -
I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!
Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

How much space used by App + Data
Is there any way to determine how much space is used by each app including it's data?
I have estimated how much space my apps should be occupying and it's 2 GB less that what iTunes shows. I can only assume that one ore more of my apps is taking up much more space that I think it would. I do have an app that is storing lots of photos. After estimating the total size based on the size and number of photos and talking to the developer it does not account for the missing space. The best thing is to actually see true app sizes with their data but I can't figure out how.
ThanksHI Steve,
I do have an app that is storing lots of photos.
Something to keep in mind when syncing photos. When syncing photos to iPad, iTunes automatically creates a size optimized for iPad, if necessary. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 28 from the iPad online user guide available here.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPad_UserGuide.pdf
That could make a difference in the space available on your iPad.
The best thing is to actually see true app sizes with their data but I can't figure out how.
Try resizing images on your computer first, then sync to iPad. If you are PC / Windows, help here:

1. My music takes up 3.5GB og space on my iOS devices. How much space will it take up after I subscribe to iTunes Match? 2. Will it include podcasts?
The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.
