Increasing Music Storage Setting?

Hi, I've had my nano for about 6 months or so... it's a 1gb one. I was wondering if you can increase the settings of the music storage settings since you can only utilize 217Mb... 892.5Mb free space. I would like to use the free space with songs/mp3s but it is reserved for videos/photos/etc...???
Any suggestions?

You are aware that an iPod (in fact any hard drive) does not have the full amount of storage space available?
As a rough guide it's about 7% less.
The OS accounts for a few mbs of storage space.
It's the way that storage space is calculated by manufacturers, and the way that computers read it differently.
Read this. Although it refers to hard drives (and the nano has flash memory), the calculations are the same, and that accounts for the so called "missing space".
iPod: About the hard disk size.
Hard disk: Is it missing space?

How can I increase the storage capacity in Linux for installing Oracle 11g?

Hi all,
I've been searching in Internet information about how to increase the storage capacity of a Linux machine, so that it can help me with my problem without success. I tried to execute some command lines encountered in some tips in forums, but no one works.
I want to install an Oracle 11g database, which needs 4 GB minimal for the installation. I can not continue with the installation because of this problem.
I use a VMWare virtual machine, which I increased over its settings to 160 GB, but not its file systems or whatever in the machine.
I did this:
[root@localhost ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 18G 15G 1.9G 89% /
/dev/sda1 190M 12M 169M 7% /boot
none 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdc 699M 0 699M 100% /media/cdrom
As far I understand the bigger storage capacity is used by the file system /dev/sda3. But what about the rest, I mean the 140 GB?. I've already increased the storage capacity over the settings. How can I tell the machine "please use the remaining 140 GB for the installation of the Oracle DB and other needed installations?.
How can I increase here what?. Disk? File system? Volume Group? It can not be so difficult, can it?
There are no volume groups in the machine:
+[root@localhost /]# vgdisplay+
+No volume groups found+
Linux is too complicated. Unfortunately I have to do that in Linux :-(
Can someone help me? I sit here since long hours without finding a solution :-(

thanks for your answers.
To Dude:
You can address the problem in a number of different ways, but please post your version of Linux and provide more information about your current partitions
The Version of Linux is Linux Red Hat Enterprise 5.
Open Logical Volume Management from the System Administration menu.
Select your volume from the logical view, edit properties and then use the slider to set your volume size, or click "remaining" to extend your partition.
I've already opened the LVM from the System Administration menu, but there is no possibility to see the volume groups, because there is no one. There is no tabs like Volume Groups or something like that...
I would try the procedure described above your answer and write you again. I hope it works...I will write you back in a few minutes...

Local Storage Setting Not Persisting.

Hi all,
I'm having a problem trying to increase the local storage
setting in my Flash Player. Since I installed the flash player the
local storage setting was set to None. Each time I try to increase
it and then go back to settings panel it has reset itself to None.
I think this is an issue with my machine, is there anything that
could cause this problem? Permissions on a directory perhaps? I
have seen that local storage information is stored in
%APPDATA%/Macromedia/Flash Player... but this directory does not
exist for my user.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

I am having the same problem. I even used the online Global
Manager and it kept going back to zero!
I am also having problems with the "Display" hardware
accelerator keeping my flash from going
to fullscreen. I can't uncheck the stupid thing! I am Going
step after step of uninstalling everything
completely and re-installing it again. Vista came with the
2nd version before this new one and it didn't
have the hardware accelerator option. It worked fine with IE,
but I use Firefox and had to download the newest
and achiest. If I find a solution, I will definitely write
back with it.

Increase of storage space in the IPOD Nano MA002LL/A

I wish to know whether it is possible to increase the storage space in the above model of IPOD Nano MA002LL/A
coz there are two models 30 Gigs and 60 Gigs i wish to know whether it is possible to convert the 30 Gig model into a higher capacity model after purchase.
MA002LL/A Windows XP Pro

It appears that you're considering purchasing a 30gb
5th generation iPod. In your original post, you
called it an iPod nano - the nano is a different
iPod. Also, you have posted this topic in the "iPod
with color display' forum, which is actually designed
for the fourth generation color iPods. That's why I
was confused.
The iPod does not have a USB port. You can use an
external USB drive to back up your music throught
your computer, using iTunes though. Is this what
you're asking?
Sorry about the confusion. I am new to this tech. Well if this model of IPod does not have an USB port how does it communicate with the computer. does it have any kinda IR or bluetooth

Going from xp to windows 7 64 bit using an external drive for music storage

Greetings Techies!
I hope you all are well.
I need to move my iTunes from an XP machine to Windows 7 64 bit. On the XP machine I am using an external drive for music storage and the iTunes database is stored on the internal drive. I am looking for advice on how to transfer all of this over to my new Windows 7 64 bit machine. I know iTunes can be picky about everything and I don’t want to take and chances and loose my playlists or music.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Blessings,
paul

You are right about it being picky. I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and was forced to format my drive. I had all the music backed up, but when I imported it, I have 2 or 3 copies of some songs, art work missing, and have lost my playlists. I hope someone responds to your question, because I could use similar help! Best of luck to ya . . .

I have won a 11 inch 128GB MacBook Air and want to increase the storage to 256GB, is that possible?

I have won a 11 inch 128GB MacBook Air and want to increase the storage to 256GB - is that possible?

When one is tight on storage space, offloading data onto a $79 external spinning disk drive is cost effective but not portable. When you are not at your desk you cannot access the data. On any Mac that has a MicroSD slot, one can add up to 128 GB of inexpensive portable storage using the following options that cost less than $100. This is cost-effective alternative to upgrading the internal SSD on a MacBook Air for $200 to $315. One can use multiple microSD card to multiply the storage they carry with them.
Time Machine does not backup these microSD cards so using an alternative backup program, such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper! would be prudent. One could partition their Time Machine backup drive(s) with 64 or 128 GB partitions (one per microSD card) so another backup hard drive is not needed.

Corrupted Music storage

My iPod Touch 5th gen (64GB) is about 2 years old now and I'm having problems with music storage. I think its probably due to the usual wear and tear, but anyways, my issue is that when I try to adds songs onto my iPod to my existing songs on it (Like I have 4700 songs onto it and I'm adding an additional 12 tracks), the existing songs disappear on my iPod and it shows up as Others in the storage on iTunes. I've ran diagnostics and factory reset my device on several occasions and the problems constantly reappears. What else can I do?
Thanks in advance for reading my post.
Also, when I go to Manage Storage in the settings, none of the missing storage for my songs shows up.

- Try another cable.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Try another USB port

Music storage

Hi there,
My music is being stored on my SD card, which is now full. How do I change music storage to be on the phone?
Thanks.

Normally,music downloaded is stored in internal memory.There could be apps that let you store on SD,but I doubt it on kitkat.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

Can I increase more storage for iPad if it is full

Can I increase more storage in ipad if it is full.

No, unless you choose to buy an iPad with more capacity.

Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. How can I increase the storage space?

Question
Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. I delete emails from the Inbox and the Sent and Trash boxes to overcome this. How can I increase the storage space to stop this happening?

Hi terrybohle1938,
Firefox is a web browser. It provides access to online content. Things like your email are handled by the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll have better luck consulting their documentation.
That being said, deleting only email is a great way to free up space. Another option would be to purchase a "Premium" account if your email provider offers this service. Many times more storage space is offered as part of paid subscription.
Hopefully this helps!

Does Apple have a service to increase Flash storage?

I bought a Macbook Pro Retina 4 weeks ago. When I went to buy it, I intended to buy a macbook pro with 500GB, but I was sold macbook pro with only 128GB, without noticing. I didn't notice it was a 128GB macbook pro until it was too late. I have only used it twice since then and I have already missed the date for an exchange or full refund. I don't want to buy another macbook pro, which is more expensive. How do I increase the storage on the flash drive? Or how can I exchange my macbook pro for a new one with more flash storage? Does Apple provide a service that installs more flash drive storage on a macbook pro for a fee, or any similar service? I really need the extra space on the flash drive storage for work. I hope there is a simple solution to my problem.

Contact the store where you purchased the MBP and see what they can do for you. Currently there are no third party PCIe flash storage devices available, so Apple is your only hope.
Ciao.

Thanks for your reply. Any suggestions for ways to fix this? If I've already updated using my phone, am I just screwed?

Hi, I tried to download a bunch of my favourite TV episodes. I was unable to get them all due to lack of storage. I increased my storage but the downloads didn't come. I tried deleting the already downloaded and viewed episodes but don't know how.

I'm wondering if I should increase my storage again but I'm not sure that's the issue.

You need more storage on your iPad, however, it can't be increased. iCloud storage is ecternal to the iPad and is used for backup.
You need to delete some item on the iPad.
How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

You cannot increase your storage capacity at all.
You can remove content from your iphone or you can update via itunes on your computer.
