You can enable disk use in iTunes and browse your iPod, or you can restore your iPod so everyting on it would be erased.

  • What does the other mean on my itunes and how do you see what is in your other?

    When i was syncing my ipod its other category rose from around 1gb to 42gb in seconds and i do not know what the files are can anyone suggest something, because i have been on other chat things and they said it would be either album artwork or photos

    Other is the measure of used space on the iPod not taken up by Audio, Video & Photos. This includes the iPod's library and artwork plus any files you may have copied to your iPod in disk mode. The overhead for the library & artwork data is typically 1-2% of the size of the media, e.g. for 1Gb of Audio & Video expect to have around 15mb of Other. This information is needed for the iPod's operation and cannot be removed.
    If you have significantly larger amounts of Other, not related to files you've intentionally placed on the iPod, then these are probably disconnected copies of your media files or iPod libraries left over from failed sync operations. The only way to recover the space is to do a full restore.
    If you have copies of all your media in your iTunes library this isn't a problem, but if you've been manually managing the content then you might need to try to recover the files from it first. See this post by Zevoneer on transferring files from the iPod to your computer. Some of the tools rely on the iPod having a healthy library however the manual method mentioned towards the end of the post should work regardless.
    Note restoring should clear all files from the iPod's drive however sometimes it doesn't actually seem to work. Options include manually deleting all visible & hidden files & folders via Explorer/Finder or formatting the drive.
    When repopulating the drive you may find breaking the process up into smaller stages makes it less likely to fail.
    Break up large transfers
    In iTunes select the menu item File... New Smart Playlist. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music or whatever playlist holds the bulk of the content you want on your device. Tick against Limit to, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule (File... Edit playlist) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos, playlists etc.

  • What this small code does? And how do I do it in Unicode.

    Hi.
    I got the following code and I really don't know what it does or even why. All I know It's not UC enabled ( since it's uxinf the type x).
    I was thinking I might be converting from ascii representation to text or something like that but I'm not that sure.
    FORM TRANSLATE_FIELD USING    STRING_TRAN
                         CHANGING STRING1.
      DATA: STRING(255),
             len1(3) type i,
             LEN(3)  TYPE I,
             NUM(3)  TYPE I,
             I(3)    TYPE I.
      DATA: C VALUE 'A',
            X TYPE X.
      FIELD-SYMBOLS:<fc> type c.
      STRING = STRING_TRAN.
      len1 = strlen( STRING ).
      LEN = 0.
      NUM = 0.
      while len < len1.
        i = STRING+len(3).
        move i to x.
        assign x to <fc> casting type c.
        move <fc> to c.
        MOVE C TO STRING1+NUM.
        len = len + 3.
        NUM = NUM + 1.
      endwhile.
    ENDFORM.                    " TRANSLATE_FIELD
    Thanks

    Hi.
    I want to make this small code UC enabled. Since there is a move of TYPE x into char this is not OK at the mopment.
    the problem is I don't really know or understand how to convert itr to UC enabled program.
    You can notice it takes clusters of 3 chars (bytes ?) long and convert them to char.
    For example 101 = e 100 = d 099 = c.... :-> 101099101 -> ece .
    Thanks

  • How do i see what photos are stored in my icloud.  I cannot do this without installing 8.0 or above which i cannot do as i do not have enough space on my iphone.  I do not want to delete the pics to make enough room to install 8.0 without checking

    Good day AMELIASARAH,
    One resolution to your issue would be to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer rather than over the air. This requires much less space on the iPhone as most of the work is done by the computer. See this article for how to do it -

    Take it in for service. Your screen probably needs to be replaced.

  • How do I "see" what is behind a "?" when this shows up rather than an image?

    How do I ”see” what is behind a "?" when this shows up rather than an image 

    The "?" in a graphics container box means that the file can't be read, hasn't been downloaded or is simply unavailable.
    If you'd tell us where, exactly, you're seeing this icon, we may be able to help. If it's in email, for example, usually all you have to do is select "download pictures" (I use Outlook, so I don't know the Mail equivalent).
    Call back with some more detail...

  • My Apple TV memory is getting full.  How do I see what is stored on the Apple TV and how do I erase content?

    My Apple TV memory is getting full.  How do I see what is stored on the Apple TV and how do I erase content?

    Apps cannot be removed much less added to the device.
    Only content from the iTunes store (movies, tv shows, music) can be added/removed on the 1st Gen ATV.
    Again, the 2nd and 3rd Gen ATVS have no onboard storage for content and would generate no such message.
    Just curious, has your ATV been jailbroken?  If it has, no support can be provided via these forums.

  • As an Administrator, how do I see what a Reader sees?

    As an Administrator, how do I see what a Reader sees? For example, I am developing a SharePoint 2010 list.   My users will have read rights only.  How do I see the page from their view.
    d.bell

    Create a new user account that only has the level of access that the target user has. SharePoint does not have a "view as" or "view as permission level" function.

  • How do I see whats on the cloud

    I am trying to sync my new PC to the cloud. On my Mac Book when i went into I tunes there was a sync button to click. I don't see that on the I tunes app that i just installed on my PC. Some of my music has come over from my I phone but not all of it. How do I see what's on the cloud?
    thanks

    When you connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, then click on the name of your phone, you should see the Sync button on the lower right.  If it says Apply instead, it's because you changed your sync settings and iTunes is waiting for you to apply the changes.  When you click Apply, iTunes will sync your phone.
    To transfer music purchased from the iTunes store from your phone to your iTunes library, authorize iTunes for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase it (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Note: this will only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store.  Transferring music from other sources from your phone to iTunes requires using 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.  (If the music is on your MacBook, you can just copy it to an external drive or memory stick, then import it to the iTunes library on your PC.)
