Invalid sizes for free/used space

Hi All
We have an ipod mini on an XP system. Worked for a few months without any real problems. Recently we upgraded the computer and have had all sorts of issues. The itunes and ipod software is current, we've got all the latest hardware drivers, and xp updates. The itunes and ipod updater both report about 114.5Gb (yes, Gbytes) of space. The updater says that we are current with v1.4 of the software and 114.5Gbyte Capacity. Go into itunes and it says that the library is 431 songs=1.55Gbyte but when I click on the ipod in itunes it says that we have zero songs and 45.92Gbyte used space and 65.87 free which is obviously crap as its a 4G mini. The ipod will not appear in the explorer even though its set to be used for data.
And I have set it up on my toshi notebook and it works fine, so it is not the ipod itself.
Anyone, please help. It has chewed up almost 10 hours of my day today and I cannot figure it out.
TIA

Samantha, is it possible you have network drives or an external drive attached to your computer? What you're seeing is a symptom of Windows confusing the iPod's drive with these other drives and therefore showing the incorrect capacities. The solution is to assign the iPod a drive letter that is far removed from those other drives.
If this applies to your situation, see this:

  • How can free + used space tbs size, can someone explain

    Can someone explain this, How can free + used space in a tablespace can be greater than size of a tablespace. What am I missing here . Thanks a lot .

  • Changing file size for web use - multiple images

    My most recent iPhoto event consists of 45 pictures, most of which are 1 MB or larger. I want to scale them down a bit for web use.
    I do understand how the export command works. If I want to change all 45 pictures at once (select all), where should I export them to, and then what is the procedure to get them back into iPhoto? I would really like them to all show up as a new event in iPhoto (same pictures as the original event, only smaller file sizes).
    Am I overlooking some easy way to do this?

    No you’re not overlooking an easy way to do it.
    Export them to a Folder on the desktop and then import them.
    However, why are you keeping these web versions? The more efficient use of disk space would be to upload them then trash them. If you need other versions in the future you can re-do them. Not a lot to be gained by holding on to them, is there?

  • Is there a maximum size for photos used in a slideshow? I cannot anymore put my slideshow into a wmv

    Is there a maximum size for photos imported in a slideshow ? I cannot anymore put my slide show into a wmv file.

    About CLOB size, it's 4Go not 4000 characters - VARCHAR2 supports up to 4000 bytes. Pay attention also to unicode encoding!
    Are you using CFQUERYPARAM to insert into the CLOB fields ?
         <CFQUERYPARAM CFSQLTYPE="CF_SQL_CLOB" VALUE="    ">
    use the Firebug extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843) in Firefox3 and do some network monitoring: let me know what you're seeing there.

  • Reduce file size for web use

    Hello,
    I created a website some months ago and I realize now the images are far too large and it takes a second for them to load. So I opened them in photoshop and changed the PPI to around 50, but the file size didn't shrink. I tried 10, and still nothing. I tried Save For Web and the file size got larger. Any ideas on how to keep the image quality (for web) but reduce the file size for easy page loading? Thank you.

    Don't worry over the ppi value.  That's arbitrary.
    You can reduce the pixel count, by resampling.  That will make an image smaller in a hurry.  To do this, Image - Image Size, check the [ ] Resample Image checkbox, and change the pixel counts.  I always set my Photoshop prefs so that I see the Image Size in pixels by default.  If yours isn't reading in pixels by default, change the units so that it is.
    However, you may need to have your images be a certain size, in pixels, and so resampling isn't an option.  In that case, when you do File - Save As - JPEG (or use Save for Web & Devices), adjust the Quality value to get the image to the size you need.
    Hope this helps!

  • SQL Query for Free Disk Space

    Hi, I have a requirement to produce several custom free disk space reports based around groups.  This will be on a 2012 R2 management group.  For a given group, does anyone know the SQL tables and the joins required to produce
    both the free space % and free space MB in one query?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    what did you means of free space % and free space MB?
    does it means the HD free or DB free space?
    I assume that its means DB free space and you may refer to the following SQL statement
    select Path, displayname,ObjectName, CounterName, avg(SampleValue) as Value, getdate() as date
       from Perf.vPerfRaw pvpr
       inner join vManagedEntity vme on pvpr.ManagedEntityRowId = vme.ManagedEntityRowId
       inner join vPerformanceRuleInstance vpri on pvpr.PerformanceRuleInstanceRowId = vpri.PerformanceRuleInstanceRowId
       inner join vPerformanceRule vpr on vpr.RuleRowId = vpri.RuleRowId
       WHERE ObjectName = 'SQLServer : Database'
       AND CounterName like 'DB Total Free Space%'
       AND pvpr.DateTime > DATEADD(minute, -60, GETUTCDATE())
       AND Path in (select DisplayName + ';MSSQLSERVER' from OperationsManager.dbo.RelationShip r with (nolock) inner join OperationsManager.dbo.basemanagedentity bme
    with (nolock) on bme.BaseManagedEntityId = R.TargetEntityId
     Where SourceEntityId in ( select BaseManagedEntityId from OperationsManager.dbo.basemanagedentity with (nolock)  where DisplayName LIKE
    '%SQL computer%') and r.IsDeleted=0)
      group by Path, displayname,ObjectName, CounterName

  • How do i test my magazine for free using the current viewer builder?

    I downloaded  the adobe viewer builder, and i entered all my license's. I get to the activation page. Then it ask me to purchase a serial number. When it brings me to the
    site, it prompts me to purchase something for $400.00.
    I just want to test, for free... How do i do that?

    Thanks Bob!
    I think thats insane considering  the adobe content viewer doesnt work on the ipad with the current DPS folios.
    Is there any other alternative?
    Would it be better just to use the xcode apple ap?

  • HOWTO: Resize Bootcamp (NTFS) partition for free using gparted

    Hi,
    Well, if you find your Bootcamp/NTFS/Windows partition running out of space, you may want to increase it or decrease it. The OSX Bootcamp utility doesn't allow resizing the NTFS partitio nor does Disk Utility. Here is a free solution ...
    NOTE: I've tried this on Windows 7 64bit, but it should work with other windows setups in a similar manner.
    Requirements:
    1. SysRescueCD (for an NTFS capable 'gparted')
    - http://www.sysresccd.org/Download
    2. rEFIt bootable CD (or install to hard disk, doesn't matter)
    - http://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/c1s5_burning.html
    3. Windows XP/Vista/7 CD (depends what you've installed)
    - just for a quick 'repair' at the end, no reinstall here!
    In short:
    1 Shrink Mac partition in OSX's Disk Utility
    2 Grow the NTFS partition in gparted booting off sysrescue CD (reboot->option key). This may take 30mins to a few hours to complete!
    3 Boot the rEFIt CD -> choose "start partitioning tool" -> hit yes when it says it needs to sync the MBR with the GPT.
    4 Boot your Windows CD.
    Vista/Windows7 CD -> hit the repair option to fix the boot record.
    XP CD -> you may need to go to the administrative shell and type fixboot and then fixmbr.
    5. Reboot and you should be able to boot into Windows via the option key as before. I liked rEFIt a lot so I installed it to my disk itself. (FYI, I did notice I needed to install rEFIt a few times to get it to show up during boot time)
    Message was edited by: SidOnline

    One bug I learnt:
    if
    1. you set the 'boot' flag on the Windows partition in gparted AND
    2. you use gptsync to sync the GPT with the MBR (i.e. MBR->GPT translation)
    then
    you will find that your Windows partition becomes inaccessible in OS X. Your partition is OK - you can boot in windows etc - OS X just doesn't see it as a NTFS partition.
    Solution:
    1. Don't enable the boot flag in gparted. Simple, no need to read further.
    If you're done it and have been hit by the bug and would like to see Windows/Bootcamp again in Finder, read on...
    1. Goto http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31562, post #9 has a tool to fix it. Download the diskpart.zip file (it's got diskpart.efi)
    2. Extract the diskpart.zip file, copy the diskpart.efi to /efi/tools on your OSX volume (default location for hard disk install of rEFIt).
    3. Reboot, in the rEFIt menu, select the EFI terminal
    4. type fs1: and hit enter. This should take you to your Leopard volume (for me fs0: was the 1st partition (EFI boot partition), fs1: was the 2nd partition (Leopard)
    5. type _cd /efi/tools_ and hit enter
    6. type diskpart and hit enter
    7. As the post linked above says, type
    +select <zero-based disk number>+
    inspect
    +chtype <zero-based partition number> MSDATA+
    For me this was
    +select 0+
    inspect
    +chtype 2 MSDATA+
    Look at the output of select to make sure you're using the right number - if you have your eyes open it's hard to make a mistake!
    Behind the scene details:
    Your partition type is set to NTFS in the MBR table (which is why windows can load it up etc) but if you do the above then the partition type in the GPT is written as EFI instead of NTFS (or more accurately 'MSDATA'). This is a bug in gptsync and I believe Chris (writer of rEFIt) is aware of this - at least another post elsewhere made it look like that. I guess you can't blame it since EFI, GPT tools are still in their infancy.
    BTW, to sync the GPT with the MBR, there is a tool gptsync. I believe it's a tool from Intel's EFI toobox. It exists as either an efi program (i.e. gptsync.efi, runs when you select it from rEFIt's menu) or as a OSX program (just gptsync, runs when you download it and type 'sudo gptsync').

  • Is there a recommended size for photos used in Keynote?

    I'm creating a slide presentation for our leadership program's graduation showing in photos all the activities. Is there a recommended size (in pixels or dpi) for full slide photos?

    It really depends on the size of the screen that the presentation will displayed on. If the file size of the Keynote doc is not an issue you can make the resolution (in px) as large as you care to.
    DPI is not relevent since it is used for print.

  • Reducing image file size for web use without pixelation

    Can anyone help me figure out how to best reduce images for fast web loading (in slideshows in Muse). I have done the save for web in PS and they are super pixelated now. The only versions that do not lose quality are the original size and they are huge files. Any help is appreciated.
    Also can anyone tell me how big each image should be, what is considered a too big size (kb) for web images? Thanks Hillary

    The settings I used were in the save for web panel and I saved the image as "medium" and the quality was 30, optimized was checked and it was scaled down to 16kb instead of 700kb. Is there a guideline as to how large in kb an image should be for good loading, it seems like with faster internet speeds we can go a bit larger for asset size. Is it OK to have an image as 65 kb if it is quite large (8 inched wide)?
    I think I solved the problem. I just went in and saved the images as larger quality. I hope it does not slow things down too much. Any advice would help.

  • Guide to ANY video file to ipod for FREE using Windows!!!!

    This has taken hours upon hours of my time to figure out so you guys won't have to!
    First off go to:
    http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
    download and install this amazing program. It will convert avi's, mpeg-2,...
    after installing, you CAN'T use the default settings
    to output a video file that can be transfered onto
    ipod EVENTHOUGH YOU CAN TO iTUNES!. So what you have
    to do is go into setup and where it says "one-click
    profile" change that to "SP/320x240/1500..." and then
    chose a directory that you want it to output to. SAVE
    now, when you go to convert make sure you click on
    "one-click transcode" and chose the file(s) you want
    it to convert to. to chose more then one file hold down ctrl and click on all the videos you want (it has to be in the same folder from my knowledge). when its done you'll have the orignal video on your computer as well as a mpeg-4 version (you can tell which is which, change your folder view to details and it will say under "type". drag and drop all the mpeg-4 ones into iTunes MAIN LIBRARY, NOT VIDEOS!. if you want, after its done, you can delete the original as well as the mpeg-4 files because iTunes saves it again, at least it does for me since i have a CONSILIDATED LIBRARY which means anything you put into iTunes thats not apart of its directory folder, it will make a copy of and put in its directory folder. If you don't have a consildated library you should not delete the mpeg-4 files. Edit your video files in iTunes and connect your ipod and see the magic happen. And
    that is that. ENJOY!!

    The full version of Nero has a program called RECODE.
    It's output displays well in the IPOD.
    You can choose the quality, amount of compression, screen size, etc.
    I went to the Quicktime page that shows how to do this in Quicktime and it gives the suggested screensize and bitrates to go by and set NERO to . A 2 hour movie in 300MB appears to have no major sacrifice in quality using the small screen. The video compression properties screen has a checkbox that says "simple - Quicktime compatible" that may or may not have helped, but I set it as a new default profile called IPOD.

  • Best way to manage Aperture library size for hard drive space?

    For a couple years, I have been using Aperture 2 and then migrated to Aperture 3. All this time I have worked completely on my laptops internal hard drive and with one library. My library is now 80gb and hard drive space is becoming an issue. Now I am trying to decide the best direction to take for reducing my internal hard drive space. My biggest storage culprit are my kids sports team pictures. I have taken thousands and thousands of pictures of kids that I don't need to keep in my internal library. I would like to pull my kids out of those pics, keep them in my main library and archive the rest out. I'm looking for advice for the best process.
    I put an external drive on my Airport USB drive and put my library in a new vault last night. I know it is much slower than going direct to USB on computer. With wireless N it took about 12 hours to backup the 80gb library to a new vault on this Airport drive. Are there any issues with using the Airport USB other than speed? I know apple has issues with using time machine on this kind of setup but I don't know if Aperture has any of the same issues. My thought is that I might use this drive for additional libraries as well.
    Thanks
    -Erik

    Once I move files to external storage as a "referenced master", is there a way to move some of them back to main library on the internal drive? I'm going to move all my team sports pictures to external but would like to keep the pictures with my kids on the internal drive where they are at. But if I unintentionally move some of my kids to the external drive, how do I "un-reference" them and move them back?
    Thanks for the help!

  • How do I make a ringtone for free using iTunes 8.2.1 on Windows Vista?

    **Hi, I recently bought a new comp and went from an older version of iTunes to 8.2.1, and now operate on Windows Vista. I used to be able to create a 30sec AAC version of a song and change the format to m4r which made in into a ringtone, but either I'm doing something wrong or I forgot a step or Vista or iTunes 8.2.1 won't let me. What are the steps for this process?**

    I wanna know too!! I had no problem making ringtones before from songs on my computer and then adding them to itunes, but now it doesn't seem to work. I can actually make the ringtone and add it to itunes and it will play, but it won't sync to my phone (phone doesn't even recognize the ringtone when I try to plug it in and sync).
    The only real difference now is I used to have an iPhone 3G and now I have the 3GS.

  • Sync iCal and Address Book for free (using Google)

    This works like a charm. It is really two-way sync, using google as an intermediary.
    For Address Book: import your contacts from Address Book to Google Contacts, put them on My contacts list, set sync to Google on Address Book preferences, then set Google as your primary account on your phone's contacts app. Now, any new contacts or changes you make, on the phone or on the computer will sync. You can find more info here.
    For iCal: enter your google info under accounts in iCal preferences, set up google as your primary calender on your phone. In iCal you will have to enter events under the google tab for them to be synced to google calendar and then to your phone. And of course, whatever entries or changes done here or there will sync. More info here.
    What's nice about this is that you never have to go to google for anything, it's just the middle guy working in the background, invisible.
    Could this really be "the missing sync"?

    I don't know if you can do this with the Centro. I should have mention that I was talking about webOS (Pre and Pixi). To sync with webOS you need Mac OS 10.5 or later for iCal, and 10.6 for Address Book.
