I have a desktop pc with itunes. I just purchased a Mac Air book.  Can I sync my devices, iphone, ipod, ipad, to both computers. Or do I have to pick one? I would like to have itunes on my mac, but i am afraid I will run out of hard disk space. Do I need to set up a seperate account on my Mac so I can load some music on it if I plan to keep my devices synced to my PC?  Would it be possible to sync only my Iphone to my Mac?

To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services.  Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services.  You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used).  You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

    What's eating it up?

    WORD TO THE WISE
    the OmniDiskSweeper was a very helpful download, because it laid out the HD and all the files on it in a "largest to smallest" fashion. When I did this I found that I had an inordinate amount of memory being taken up in my Mail Data folder, this did not make much sense so when I dug deeper I found that a 59MB scanned file that I had emailed 3 weeks ago had not been delivered, so the computer was retrying every minute and saving the history of what it was doing, so it was saving the 59MB file as well as the log about the 59MB file and hence for the last 3 weeks it's been chewing away at HD space recording the activity of the undeliverable file.
    I deleted the Data record folders and removed the yahoo account from My Mail and reinstalled it with proper IMAP information and the HD is secure and holding at 331GB of free space. Like it ought to be.
    I love the fact that if something very strange is happpening on your MAC there is a REASON....find it and fix it, and move on. In the PC world you would reboot 20 times, call some guy in India who will ony try to sell you a new subscription or warranty for $99 and never solve anything.
    I am at rest once more, thanks for the tip

  • HT1449 Now that i have my iTunes backed up on iCloud and iCloud Match running, can I delete the music files from my MacBook Pro?  It is running out of hard drive space.

    When I started this request in the Support section, I did not realize I was typing a subject into a header.  Sorry.
    My MacBook Pro is nearly full and I would like to rely on iCloud for my music with the hope of freeing up space by deleting the music files I have accumulated on this machine.  Can I just delete the files in the iTunes folder or is there some special procedure?
    Thanks in advance for your help on this.

  • I was running out of hard drive space so I uninstalled Adobe Premiere Elements 13 with the intention of re-downloading it on my external hard drive. But now I have less space on my hard drive, and I can't find it on my external.

    Can anyone help me?

    If you moved your iTunes library by simply copying it to another drive, you may not be able to access your music even if you reconnect to that library, you may get a lot of "not found" errors because the music is not where the library thinks it should be. First thing to do is put it back where it was.  Then reconnect it. Then follow the steps in this link:

  • Would like to use WD MyBook external SOLELY for my iPhoto library and remove it from my hard drive to clear up space. How do I do this?

    I just bought a 3TB My Book that I would like to store my iPhoto library on and remove it from my hard drive completely. I am running Time Machine with another external drive as back up and would like to use Time Machine to also back up my photos that will be on my My Book external. How do I move my iPhoto library to my new external and delete it from my hard drive? The catch is that I only want this new external to be for my iPhoto. I don't want Time Machine to start backing up my entire hard drive, since I already have an external dedicated to back up. I have not attached my external yet because I am afraid it will automatically start backing up my entire hard drive. I am very experienced on a Mac but not very technical so please, no big words and THANKS MUCH in advance!!

    First format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
    Next drag your iPhoto library from your Pictures folder to the EHD.  When the copying is complete launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the window that comes up select the library on the EHD:
    Check the file path under the window to make sure the correct library has been selected.
    Once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all of your photos you can delete the library in your Pictures folder.

  • Out of Hard Drive space with Mavericks

    This new library system with Mavericks and FC 10.1.3 is confusing.  I end up with too many events that take up hard drive space.
    Question.  Can I load FCPx on a separate, external 3 terabyte drive and work from that?  Would that solve my drive space issue on my iMac HD?
    What would be the step by step process to do that or, a better idea?
    Thanks a pile.  I have HD constipation!

    Your application must be in the Applications folder, but your libraries can and indeed *should* be in an external drive. They can be stored anywhere, no need to put them in special designated folders as before.
    The library system actually makes managing your stuff extremely easy. A library is a single document, so you can simply move it in the Finder (when FCP X is not running).
    You can have as many or as few libraries as you want, copy them, move them, etc. You don't have to have everything active at once in FCP X. Open and close libraries as needed (whereas before, all events on a given drive were loaded, you can now just open a single library in a disk containing dozens of them).
    Take the time to familiarize with the library concept and you'll find that it is much better than what we had before.

  • ITunes / iPhone / iPod / iPad / iOS 5 How do I put Various Artists under One Single Album?

    Hello, I recently purchased the entire collection of Now that's that I call music.
    It's a compilation album of various artists.
    All the various tracks have their own respective artists under the same album name - Now That's what I Call Music.
    I sync this collection to my iPhone 4, with iOS 5 and go to my phone's Music>Albums.
    Here it shows me multiple times the same album, with the same name - now that's what I call music. Each with a different artist.
    I want all these various artists to be under One Single Album. And not the same albums album being shown multiple times for each artist.
    Really appreciate if someone could help me out.
    Regards,

    If you have 7.1, you should see the Shuffle option once you select a genre (scroll up, above the list of artists). 

  • I have an 2006 imac that is maxed out on hard drive space.

    I moved my iphoto libraries to an external hard drive but my home folder is still showing 112 GB in the pictures folder. What have I done wrong?  Im afraid to delete anything out of my home folder for fear of corrupting something.  If I eject the external hard drive and try to open iphoto I have an empty iphoto library so I thought I had removed it from the internal hard drive.  Any thoughts?

    If you also have a good size iTunes library you may want to move that to an EHD, you can use the same EHD you put your iPhoto library onto. Apple's instructions are in iTunes: How to move the library to an EHD.
    Also tell us the size of the internal HD and how much available space it has. You can find this by selecting it in Finder and clicking Command I and you will get something like:

  • Help with workflow - out of hard drive space?

    Help... not sure the best way to deal with this.
    I've got a Quad G5, 2 hard drives... 1 as O/S and the other for storing stuff. Well, my hard drive is full now and I've got a feeling (even if I got a new 500gig hard drive) it would be full again within 6 months. How do I deal with this?
    Should I buy external drives and just run the photos off the external drives? When one get's full, go to the next? Is this the best "workflow" method. Does someone recommend something better?
    And... if that is the best... won't using external hard drives slow my performance? Time is money...
    Thanks,

    I think these are the options, or at least some of them:
    * Burn a DVD with a bunch of your pictures. Import that DVD as a folder to Aperture. You will just have references (and versions and modifications) in Aperture, and thereby save some space.
    * Take an existing Folder and Export it and put the exported file (with extension ".approject") on a DVD. If you are really short of space, delete the Folder from Aperture afterwards. Once you drag the exported file back from the DVD to Aperture, everything will be restored (I hope).
    In the above paragraphs you can of course replace "DVD" with "external harddrive" or something more powerful

  • "iTunes Media" file in "Previous iTunes Library" taking up 50Gb of much-needed hard drive space.  Can this be safely deleted?

    Hi everyone,
    My 3.5 year old 15" Macbook Pro is running out of hard drive space, so I have been trying to clean out some of the dross.  I recently found that there is a file called "Previous iTunes Library" in my iTunes folder that is taking up approximately 50Gb of space.   I would love to delete this folder and reclaim the space, but I am not sure what it is or where it came from, and I don't want to lose music files accidentally. Can someone tell me (1) what this folder is and (2) if I can safely delete it?
    Here is a screenshot of these folders and their sizes:
    Thanks for the help!

    Hello facetious1212,
    Take a look at this part of the article named iTunes: What are the iTunes library files? Found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1660.
    Tip: New versions of iTunes sometimes include enhancements to the iTunes library. When you open the new version of iTunes, iTunes upgrades your existing library to the new format and places a copy of the old library in the Previous Libraries folder. If everything goes fine during your upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, you can delete the older iTunes Library files.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Regular kernel panics, most noticeable with Flash usage. I suspect it has to do with RAM, hard drive space, or overheating.

    Hi, would massively appreciate it if anyone would be able to point me in the direction of what's causing fairly regular kernel panics and general poor performance of my 2007 Macbook. Running 2gb Ram, hard drive space is running low (90% full), but seems to operate fine until I hit flash videos, when it stutters, stalls, and, if I push it too far, crashes. Is it directly related to hard drive space? Here's the log:
