Ipod says it needs more space but i Tunes says I have it

As you can see with the picture my computer tells me contradicting information when I try to sync my ipod touch with my mac. I figured that the amount of free space presented to me may be an estimate of how much will be left after the sync but it's hard to believe it'd be off by that much. I'm mostly just wondering if there's something I don't know that may shed some light on this situation.

The bar says the capacity/usage before you sync. When you click on sync it calculates the storage space required and if not enough you get the message you received. Also, you have to always have some "empty" space available for the sync process itself. More is required for syncing photos on the 4G iPod than other iPods.

I don't have that icon on my iPhone so I certanily don't use it or see it. I wonder if I delete it from my storage on my iPhone will it delete it from my laptop?
Thanks for your help!

Local Storage on your Device is not the same as iCloud Storage.

I am getting a warning need more space on my disk. I have checked the Console and there have been 4000 thousand messages in my system log in the last 2 days. I have emptied as many files as possible.

Hi
I am getting a warning on opening my mac saying I need more space as my setup disk is full. I have emptied many files as well as my Trash. I am planning to get an external drive for my photos, but it has been suggested that I check Console and under the system log the following message (of which they say 4000 messages have been logged in 2 days) '06/06/2014 16:08:23.341 com.apple.dynamic_pager: dynamic_pager: Need more space on the disk to enable swapping'. This is a copy of one of the items. It is from the system log. I really do not think I have enough files to warrant this warning, with the exception of photos. My storage shows 143 MB free out of 120.47. Thanks for any help.

First off, no MacBook Air can run 10.3 or earlier.
Secondly, are you sure you only have 143MB of storage free? That's seriously low. With MacBook Airs of 120 GB hard drives, or even 140 GB which is often the case when it says out of 120, you shouldn't allow your free space to go down below 20 GB. MB is 1024 fold less than a GB. So if you really have 143MB free on a MacBook Air, you are long past the minimum space you should be keeping it at, and need to start clearing a lot of space now*:

I'm asking this thread be moved to the MacBook Air forum,a as we can't say for certain what you have when you post in the 10.3 or earlier forum.

Can't do back up, says I need more space but i excluded everything

Hi there, I recently had some issues with my iMac. It had a 500GB HD and I was using external 1TB for my backups. I had to do an Archive and install so I had the shop put in a 2TB and transfer over my stuff. So alls good. I had just under 500 GB and I was still able to use my time machine as a backup drive. But I later transferred over a load of movies and files that brings my drive to about 1.5 TB. However in time machine pref I excluded most of these files so it is well under 1 TB for sure if not around the 500 - 600 GB mark. However when I try to o a back up it says "This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 1.57 TB but only 534.56 GB are available" But I exlcuded everything big, when I go to options it tallys up saying in order to do a full back 306.9 GB is required. Any thoughts how to make this thing work cause I hate to not have backups and I don't feel like buying a 2TB external drive. Thanks for any help in advance.

First, never use your TM backup drive to store other files. If you must use a single drive for both storage and backup, then partition the drive with one of those partitions devoted exclusively to TM. That volume should be at least twice the size of your boot volume.
About TM "Backup Drive is Full" Alert
TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

My phone needs more space. I have lots of pictures on it and on my iPad. I recently purchased a MacBook and now my pics are on there. If I delete my camera roll from my phone, might I lose them?

I Need more space But if I delete my pics from my phone, how do I know that they won't reappear after the backup, or, much worse, be deleted from my MacBook and iPad after the Cloud backup?

1. Connect the phone to iTunes and do a backup (better safe than sorry)
2. Open iPhoto on the Air, and import all your photos from the phone
3. Now you can delete the photos on the phone and they're safe in iPhoto
4. If you want to put them (or some of them) back on the phone, you can put the ones you want on the phone into an album in iPhoto, then sync that album back to the phone
Hope that all makes sense

Deleted TM backup to start over, now TM says it needs more space than avail

I deleted the backup image on my 500 GB Time Capsule to start over. Now Time Machine says it needs 700 GB of space and only 350 GB available. I only have 100 GB on my MacBook with OS 10.5.8. How do I let TM know that I want to start over and only backup the 100GB with today as a baseline? Thanks

TM says it needs more space (530 gig) for the backup that is actually on my IMAC (used 420 of 1 trb). Any ideas why TM will not back-up and why it requires 530 gig when my IMAC has only used 420 gig?
Because TM needs workspace on the TM drive, and yours is much too small. TM adds 20% to the estimated size of the backup when requesting space.
But to work well, TM usually needs 2-3 times the space of the data it's backing-up. See #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
Short term, you may be able to "finagle" getting backed-up by excluding a lot of things temporarily, running a backup, then removing some exclusions and running another. That way, the 20% won't get applied to the total amount of data all at once.
That will work, for a short period of time, but not for long. You need a much bigger drive.

HT1688 i cant get update on phone or take videos, says i need more space

i cant get my phone to turn off and trying to just restore but unable to backup due to error saying i need more space, i cant even get some text messages or emails and i cant video anymore either

Back up ALL of your photos and videos to your PC and remove them from your camera roll.
Next, delete any apps you don't use on a regular basis or at all.    Go to Settings - General - Usage to see which are the largest ones and start from there.
Use Facebook?   Delete that... You can always reinstall it, but by deleting now you'll erase all of the cache that it's been using to download photos etc from your news feed.
Send a lot of Messages?    Delete those also... Especially the attachments such as photos.   Over time they take up an enormous amount of space.

OS X lion says that i need more space till i can download the app what should i do?

OS X Lion says that I need more space till I can download OS X Lion in the App Store, what should I do?

More hard drive space or more RAM? Lion will need at least 10gb of free space on the hard drive and a minimum of 2gb of RAM.

HT201302 I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?

To delete your photo library you need to connect to iTunes, then remove the selection for the images, then sync the device.
While you are connected to iTunes do the update through iTunes. It takes much less memory as the update is loaded onto your computer, unpacked, then sent to the device.

I need more storage but every time i try to buy it says payment method declined however i can buy any app from the app store with the same method

Make sure there is enough funds for storage. Contact your bank and verify they are not stopping transaction.

HT1461 I created a partition and installed Windows through bootcamp. But I need to increase my partition size due to me needing more space on the windows side. Can I do this with bootcamp, and how do I do it?

Welcome to Apple Communities
You can delete the partition in Boot Camp Assistant or use Camptune to modify it

As I installed WindowsXP I made a partition of 20Gb. Now I need more space. My Mac says: not possible. Is there yet a possibility to increase my Windows-partition.?

As I installed WindowsXP I made a partition of 20Gb called Bootcamp. Now I need more space. My Mac says: not possible. Is there yet a possibility to increase my Windows-partition.?

You should probably repost in the Boot Camp forum, I think you stand a better chance of getting an answer there.

Since installing mavericks my WD time machine doesn't work, it keeps insisting it needs more space? This wasn't an issue an hour earlier?

Id also like to know if Powerpc software will be supported? I have C&C Generals on disc but it doesnt run now mavericks is installed?!
Annoying!

Regarding time machine, it probably took a full backup after you put mavericks on. To investigate, open Console, select "All Messages" and type "backup" (without the quotes). It will then only show you backup-related messages. If you're not sure how to read those, copy them and paste them into a reply here; we can investigate the situation.
I don't know anything about your PPC software issue, sorry.

Does Partitioning Tables need more Space

Hi,
Can some one tell me does Partitioned table need more space than a general tables(i.e with out any partition). If so what can be the percenatge difference.
Thanks

It is not having/not having any rows in a partition but rather init.ora parameter deferred_segment_creation setting. By default it is set to true, which means segment will be created on first insert.

New to atv. Bought 40g model. Now going on vacation and need more space for more stuff. Can external hard drive be hooked up via USB and accessed through atv??

Not without voiding the warranty. No publicly available device is officially supported by that USB port.
