Incorrect free space reported on iOS4

I have two iPhone 3GS and have updated both to iOS4.
First was flawless, second all well except in iTunes the usage bar shows just a sliver of free space (was about 800MB prior to update) but it says 5 GB free.
The iPhone also shows 5GB free in the About screen.
I rebooted the iPhone but that didn't fix it.
Anyone else notice this anomaly?

Thanks for the reply. I tried as you suggested (only I made several 4GB files, due to the FAT32 filesize limit). Whenever I encountered the supposed maximum, if I made a file slightly larger than the remaining space (my a megabyte or so), the remaining space would increase by 3GB. After doing this a few times, I tried deleting them (about 25GB-worth), and the free space went back to 15.03GB, as it was before.

AFP - Incorrect Free Space Reported

I have a G4 Xserve with Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 installed. I have two mirrored RAID's, both 500GB, and both created using Apple's Disk Utility program.
I have noticed that the free space reported over an AFP connection on my Macbook Pro (with OS 10.6.4) usually does not match the free space reported when using the server itself. As of this moment, my Macbook Pro reports ~423GB of free space on the network drive, while a "Get Info" on the server itself reports ~395GB.
SMB shares accessed via Windows report the correct amount of free space.
I have re-installed Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro (using Erase & Install... not for this problem though), so I'm pretty sure it's a problem on the Xserve's end.
It's not a huge deal right now, but I would like the correct amount of free space displayed for AFP users.

Incorrect free space reported on FAT32 USB drive

I'm suspecting this is an issue deeper than Finder, but here we go:
I have an 80GB external drive that connects via USB and is formatted FAT32 (for compatibility with my Windows machine and PS3, so this can't change, unfortunately).
The other day, I noticed Finder reporting that only 15GB were available, which didn't seem right. After doing some checks, it is indeed wrong: I've only used 15GB. I've confirmed this with three different tools: Finder itself (using "get info"), the command 'du -csh' while in the drive's directory in /Volumes, and OmniDiskSweeper. All of them agree: only 15GB have been used, on an 80GB drive. Yet it still say it's 15GB free.
So I did a bit more checking. Figuring that I might not have partitioned it correctly, I had a look in fdisk, and the partition spans the whole drive. 'df -h' reports that the partition is 74GB in total, which sounds about right. But df also shows only 15GB remaining. Weird.
Wondering if I'd done an unsafe unmounting, I ran fsck on it, but that turned up nothing (I was hoping for orphaned inodes, but zilch). I know about the 4GB filesize limit on FAT32, and none of my files approach that (the largest being 3GB). I've done some searching online, and haven't found anything useful.
So, anyone heard of anything like this, or have any suggestions that I haven't tried, that aren't "use HFS+ or some other better fs"?
Thanks in advance.

Difference between free space reported by my iPod Touch and iTunes

Why is so different the free space reported by my iPod Touch and iTunes?, which of both devices is reporting the correct free space?
also, I restored my iPod two days ago because "other" space was too big (almost a gig),
three days later, is over 500Mb, why is this happening?, thanks.
On the pic you can see the difference between the free space reported by my iPod (403 MB) and iTunes (0.29Gb)

I took the pic when I finished syncing, so that shouldn't be an issue, no matter how many times I sync, free space is never equal (iPod always reports more space).
I'm running iOS 5.0.1 and I restored three days ago because iTunes said I was out of space to sync (and my iPod reported over 100Mb free).
As you can see from the pic, I only have 9 apps, I mainly use this iPod for music. I'm using the AAC option to fit more songs.
I really like this iPod, but as a music player. I had a first generation iPod Touch and "other" space never was an issue, I still have warranty, but I don't know if I should take this iPod to the store because of this, because it seems to be a software issue.
Just deleted my emails from the iPod and gained 10 Mb, I don't know what else can I do.

Windows Logical Drive - Free Space Report

Hi SCOM Experts,
I am able to generate the Free Space Report but it is not accurate for windows 2008 R2.
I am using SCOM 2012 and report is good for windows 2012 servers. Any Help appreciated

Hi There,
My way of getting this report is by using a SQL Query. I have a SQL Query which i Run in the Operationsmanager DB to get the Disk space below 20% on all my agents. Use the below SQL Query to do it.
My SQL Server uses GMT time (London UK time) so i enter london time here.
Just enter a time exactly 1Hr before time when you are running the query (If you are running the query at 1:00PM by yourself then in the bolded portion enter the time as 12:00PM).
select Path, InstanceName, SampleValue
from PerformanceDataAllView pdv with (NOLOCK)
inner join PerformanceCounterView pcv on pdv.performancesourceinternalid = pcv.performancesourceinternalid
inner join BaseManagedEntity bme on pcv.ManagedEntityId = bme.BaseManagedEntityId
where SampleValue < '20' and CounterName='% Free Space' and TimeSampled > 'YEAR-MM-DD 12:00:00.00'
order by countername, timesampled

ITunes reports incorrect free space

Using iTunes 12.0.1.26 with a 64GB iPhone 4S on iOS8.1 I am currently unable to add files to my iPhone through the File Sharing part of the Apps panel.
The bar at the bottom of iTunes reports 25.01GB free, on the phone the General->Usage page reports 2.6GB free (yes 1/10th of that which is reported in iTunes) and thus I cannot copy a 2.7GB file on there. At one point I saw iTunes massively enlarge the Photos potion of that bar. Currently it sits at 13GB but it filled up to the rest of the apparently open space and presumably reported the try number (38.9GB according to the General->Usage->Storage page on the iPhone). However I can't figure out how that happened and why it has returned to showing the wrong number.

I'm having a related problem. I deleted all the photos off my iPhone and synced it (several times now), but iTunes is still saying I have 44 photos on there taking up space. The free space availability changes out of the blue as well, even if I didn't add or delete anything. I'm very close to capacity and have to manage it closely when adding new songs etc, so this is becoming a real pain since I don't know my exact free space.

Disparity in Free Space Reported

I don't know if I am the only one who is experiencing this, but there is a big disparity in the available free space on my hard drive being reported by the Get Info window and Disk Utility.
I took a screenshot and attached it to make what I am saying clearer, essentially, it appears that the used space and available free space is either incorrectly being reported or is swapped in either Disk Utility. I have already repaired both the permissions and the disk and rebooted multiple times. The only thing I can think of is that I did have a Boot Camp partition for a little while, but it was removed by the Boot Camp Assistant. I am going to report this to Apple, but I am curious if this is something other people have found.

The "Local Snapshots" that Time Machine makes on laptops aren't counted by the Finder or Get Info, because they'll be deleted if necessary in most circumstances. See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questionsfor details.

Phone Disk Shows Incorrect Free Space

Hi all
I am using Phone Disk on the Mac (makes the iPad/iPhone show up as a hard drive) and its showing the incorrect amount of hard drive capacity and free space. It does this on both mine and my girlfriends iPhone and also on my iPad. For example, I know I have 10gb available on my 64gb iPad but Phone Disk shows me I have only 900mb free out of 1.5gb of hard drive space. I have also installed iPhone Explorer and this also has the same problem. I'm a little confused!
Thanks
Rich

The available disk space reported in finder is totally wrong.
Even if it accounts for the local snapshots. In my macbook air it shows 120 Available in finder which is just 1GB less than my SSD capacity.

My iPhone 4s in iTunes shows incorrect free space!

Okay, this is very odd... when my iPhone 4S is plugged in, it says that I have way more free space than should be available? What in the world is going on? I wished I had the 64 GB iPhone, but I don't. It seems to incorrectly calculate my free space on my iPhone 4S repeatedly. I am doing a restore of my iPhone right now, hoping that will address the issue. Now I do have iTune Match turned on and am wondering if that has something to do with this? It seems to get confused with what I had on my iPhone and what is in iTune Mactch. I only saw this after doing the iTune Match thingy.

Hey - did you get anywhere with this?
I have the exact same problem and it is definitely related to iTunes Match (I enabled 24 hours ago and the problem started immediately).
In my case the actual phone displays the correct information (about 1.3gb free) but via iTunes (either connecting over wifi or over usb) it displays 19.4 gb free.
In my case the difference is almost exactly the size of my iTunes library.
Here is what I belive is happening (no fix yet).
I have enabled iTunes Match on my phone but I have left the song files on the phone (i.e. I play files actually from the device and not from the cloud) . Now, when I connect to iTunes, iTunes sees merely that iTunes Match is enabled and therefore belives that the phone does not contain any downloaded music (or at least did not contain any at the point iTunes Match was enabled) and therefore displays a library-size chunk as free space.
One fix which I suspect would work would be to delete my entire library from the iPhone, enable itunes Match and redownload the entire library from the phone. That however is not something I want to entertain at present.
This has to be a bug at Apple's end - I hope they fix it soon!

Disk Utility Shows Incorrect Free Space

I've had this problem for a while now, and I've been unable to figure out why. I can't even remember when it started, but it has become quite a nuisance.
The Finder window shows that I have 302GB of harddrive space remaining, out of 500GB. The Activity Monitor and Disk Utility show I have 240GB space remaining, and my System Profiler shows I have 239GB remaining. I just deleted a bunch of old TV shows off of iTunes (about 40GB worth) to open up some space, but only the Finder changed (up to 302GB from 260GB) but the Activity Monitor, Disk Utility, and System Profiler haven't changed.
Now, I'll assume the Finder is showing the correct amount of space, but I'm wondering why the other utilites are showing the incorrent amount of space. I have a feeling maybe something was screwed up when I created a 50GB Windows 7 partition through Boot Camp a couple months ago.
I've attempted to Repair Disk through the Disk Utility and it says everything looks fine. Any solutions to this minor inconvenience? Or at least an answer as to why this is happening?

The available disk space reported in finder is totally wrong.

NSS4000 Incorrect free space on volume

I have a share on a volume with 230.00 GB of free space (it also show 0% used).
When I map this shared as a network drive in windows and check it's free space then it shows me it has a capacity of 299GB with 237GB used space and 67GB free space.?? I can not see any files or directories.
I have firmware 1.21.0 on the device.
When I copy files it stops after 67GB..
What could be the problem?
Thanks!

Hi,
Are you getting any errors from in the NSS logs when coping data over to the share?.
If so please post these logs; I have not seen this behavior with the NSS but would need more
information for trouble shooting. What is your current RAID, What size drives are you using,
How many volumes do you have on the NSS, size of each volume?
Please be detailed as possible ? Also have you tried backing up all data and recreating the volume
putting data back on new volume? For testing
Thanks,.

After Yosemite Upgrade my Macbook shows incorrect free space available on Macintosh HD

Hey all .... after doing the Yosemite upgrade on my Mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro it finished but when I double click on the Macintosh HD it shows 140.62 TB available ... kinda impossible since I only have a 500GB drive inside the laptop ...
Methinks I found a bug ... not a huge deal as I know it's likely 140.62 GB free as opposed to TB ... just find it curious ...

Creative Cloud Desktop App Shows Incorrect Free Space Remaining

Hello,
I have a technical issue with my creative cloud account. My CC desktop application (Windows) shows as having 46.7% of the available space used, and at present I have no files stored or in my creative cloud archive. Something is definitely amiss!
Thanks,
-Jon

@randyc - Please provide more details. Are you still seeing the "Out of storage" message?
If so we need the log files for desktop sync (CoreSync). The location for each OS are:
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/CoreSync-yyyy-mm-dd.log
Windows: %APPDATA%/Adobe/CoreSync/CoreSync-yyyy-mm-dd.log
Note that on Mac OS X to see the user library from the Finder click on the Go menu and hold down the Alt/ Option key. Note that on Windows %APPDATA% is a variable that will change to the correct path depending on if version of Windows being used.

A200 Disk Space Report Problem

I have a problem with my A200. The disk size is 40GB and currently it has 15GB in use.
Occasionally the machine will suddenly start to report that the disk has only 40MB free space remaining - confirmed by checking properties for the disk under my computuer. After a reboot all goes back to normal with the correct free space reported.
Is this a known issue for this machine? I've seen there is a BIOS update available but can't see any details of the issues that it is meant to address.

Hi,
in my opinion you should make a BIOS update.
Did you scan your HDD with a current antivirus software?
You can also run Scandisk and Defrag which are checking your HDD.

Systemdrive free space low

Hi Everybody,
We have a server (dual 2.3GHz PPC 2G RAM) with 3 80G HDs. 2 are RAIDed together for user home directories and the 3rd is the system drive. Nothing is on it but OS X 10.4.11 Server. Yet there is only 7% free space reported in the Finder. The server serves a 25 seat graphic design lab with about 100 users in the WGM. The format is Mac OS X extended (journaled). The disk passes verfication with disk utility, and permissions check out OK too. All visible folders on system drive add up to less than 20G.
What's going on here?
TIA,
David

I've figured out that the Library directory is large because of a few image files that we used with NetBoot to clone the lab workstations. I can move those image files off to a NAS drive which will gain some space.
But what's with /Volumes? It looks like I somehow made an erroneous copy of the student home folders from the RAID pair. Or is /Volumes used for caching? Maybe I did this when I was trying to set up the new NAS disk and make backups? I feel extremely stupid
Thanks again for your help.
