How much Storage Space

When I dock my 30 GB ipod, iTunes says I have used about 18 GB and have only about 8 GB free. My iPod says I have only used about 6 GB and have about 22 GB. Anyone know why this is? Does it make a difference?
I did have to reload my i Pod twice as it got emptied so I am wondering if iTunes has tripled my library somewhere.

A very difficult question to answer, why because we don't know how much data you will have on your computer. As a general rule of thumb your TM drive should be 2-3x the size of the amount of data on your HD. So for example if you only have 100GB on your internal HD then your TM drive should be 200-300GB. So you need try to figure out approximately how much you will store on the internal HD. A good rule of thumb is how much did you store on your old computer. If I were you though I'd play it safe and use your G-Drive for something else, perhaps somewhere to store your photos, music or movies. Then go out and buy yourself a high quality 2-3TB EHD, why that big....simple because eventually all TM EHD's fill up. So by purchasing the largest EHD you can afford is simply putting off the inevitable by investing up front. There are three drives I recommend for a TM drive, one is the G-Tech series. They are a high quality with plenty of features. The others are:
OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
LaCie d2 Quadra series
Both are equally high quality with similar features to your G-Tech. Personally I use LaCie (I have 4 at the moment) however I wouldn't hesitate to use OWC or G-Tech either.

  • Adobe Send: How much storage space in the Cloud is provided?

    How much storage space is provided in the Cloud for subscribers to Adobe Send and for Adobe PDF?

    Read this Apple document about the iCloud Photo Library: iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
    The following is from that document:
    Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
    iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
    In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
    In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them
    The bottom line is that you'll still have some copy of your photos on your hard drive but they can be smaller, optimized versions.

  • How much storage space do I currently have for the Basic Adobe FormsCentral subscription?

    I am researching alternatives to FormsCentral but cannot seem to find how much storage is offered with our current Basic FormsCentral membership (ie how many GB of storage)? Is there a way to tell how much storage I am currently using with my existing forms?

  • HT204247 How much storage space do I have in my iCloud email?

    HHow much storage does my icloud email have? For example when I used gmail to send pictures it holds 17GB. So if I send pictures through my ICloud email
    how much storage does it have? Is the storage on my iPad?

    I believe the iCloud email is part of your free 5GB of iCloud storage. The iClould storage lives on Apples computers. Read the article below. Scroll down to Mail then IOS for more info.

  • Is there a way to access iCloud to find out how much storage space I need to install music on iPhone? Genius Bar was not very helpful...

    I have several questions I could not get answered yesterday...
    Does the number of songs listed on iPhone represent music available on iPhone or in iCloud.
    How do find out how much space of music you have in iCloud you need for iPhone to download all music?
    Is there a easier way to get the music available in iCloud downloaded to iPhone without separately downloading each album separately?
    Last question...if the music is not downloaded...does it get played at all when on wi-fi?

    Both. If you have the setting to "show all music" set to ON you will see all music that is available. If the setting is set to OFF you will only see music that is stored locally on the device.

    iTunes Match does not use your iCloud storage.

    Music can be downloaded by Album, Artist or Playlist. Or you can disable iTM, sync music via USB, then re-enable the iTM service.

    Yes.

  • How much storage space is supposed to come with a creative cloud subscription?

    I am still seeing only 2 GB of storage space available to me, even though I upgraded from a trial subscription to the Photography (Photoshop/Lightroom) Creative Cloud subscription. Is this correct or should I be seeing 20 GB? If the latter, any tips on how to correct?

  • How much storage space does a back-up drive need to run time machine on the 2TB iMac 2011?

    I've just purchased a new 2011 iMac with 2TB storage...I have a G-Drive with 250 GB and I'm wondering the minimum size a back up hard drive must be to back-up my new hard drive using Time Machine.  I already bought an Apple Router 2 years ago so buying the 3TB Time Capsule router/hard drive would be redundant.  Any thoughts?

  • I upgraded to 8.1 and now my iphone doesn't appear anymore in the itunes screen. I can see the iphone photos on my computer screen but there is nothing where the device used to show up. I can't back up and I can't see how much storage space is occupied.

    Does anybody know how I can restore my itunes to recognize my iphone? I updated to Windows 8.1 and now there is no recognition of my iphone as a device in the itines window.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • How much storage can I get in the ipad app pages

    How much storage space do I have in the app Pages?
    Bob

    As far as I know there is no limit within the app, your main limit is the space you have on your ipad.....if you have 5 gig open then Pages can use up to 5 gig, if you have 400 megs, then it can use 400 megs.

  • HT1766 Generally How much cloud  space needed to back up I pad

    Generally how much storage space  on I cloud should you have if planning to backup I pad before downloading and upgrading g to IOS7 .

    That's really hard to say because it all depends on what you're syncing to the cloud and how much 'what' there is. Do you have a lot of photos? Or lot of home movies? Or a lot of documents?
    I don't think there's a way to give you a set amount because every person uses their device differently.

  • I'm trying to update iOS 7 and it says I need 3.4 GB of storage to update.. I currently have on my storage 797 MB and 12,6 GB used. How much storage should it write for me to be able to update?

    I'm trying to update iOS 7 and it says I need 3.4 GB of storage to update.. I currently have on my storage 797 MB and 12,6 GB used. How much storage should it write for me to be able to update?

    If your ipad has only 797 MB free and it tells you that you need 3.4 GB to update, then you need to begin deleing files, whatever it takes to free up space.
    Consider...
    Delete apps you don't use.
    Delete videos you don't want (these take up a lot of space).
    Do you have a lot of emails stored on the device?
    Are there apps that store data files, like a PDF reader?  If there are a lot of these, you need to delete some.
    The bottom line is that you need to remove data and/or apps on your device to make more storage available.
    But for videos and photos, always sync them to a computer first to archive them.
