ITunes claims I need an excessive amount of memory to sync a little bit of music

I have an iPhone 5c and is up to date with iOS 7.1.2.
I've had the problem previously and after 2 hours of intensive "help" from an iTunes customer support member they came up with a short term solution of manually adding the new songs. However, I'm moving over to a new laptop and would like to completely sync my iPhone to the new laptop, replacing all the music. Not only am I having problems now but home sharing is not working for some reason, I click on it, it seems to be loading in the top of the screen and then it just disappears, it hasn't loaded up anything so I had to copy the songs manually onto my external hard drive but now I can't access my playlists from the old laptop. But back to the present problem, when trying to sync I am told I need roughly another 3GB of memory to sync these new songs, on top of the 1 GB that is already free. This is completely and utterly wrong as I have seen the current number of songs and I am certainly not trying to 4GBs worth of music onto my iPhone.
Ideally these problems both need to be solved

No one else is seeing this. Time to troubleshoot your computer - nothing to do with iTunes itself unless it was incorrectly installed. Not the phone either.

Hello gogreenj14,
If you had iTunes Match updated with all of your non iTunes purchased content already, then yes, when you enable iTunes Match with the following article it will have all the content that has been uploaded to iTunes Match will be available for download.
iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
Open the latest version of iTunes on the computer you intend to add. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
Sign in with the Apple ID you use with iTunes Match.
Choose Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
Click the Add This Computer button.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID password.
iTunes will automatically begin scanning your computer's library for matches.
A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume the process at any time by clicking the Stop or Start button.
Once iTunes has completed matching and uploading your iTunes library, your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Firefox 3.6.12 using an excessive amount of memory.

Recently replaced my hard drive after a crash, and discovered that my computer is processing very slowly. Looking at my running processes, I've found that Firefox is using between 130K and over 200K of memory, and the number tends to climb drastically before dropping a bit then climbing again. The plugin container seems to be the culprit, or at least part of the problem, since I'll often quit Firefox but it continues to run. I've disabled every plugin and addon I had (not many of either, and nothing esoteric), and it's still using over 140K of memory and slowing my computer.
Edited to add: Now that I've had FF running for a while, despite having all of my plugins and addons disabled, FF is using between 169K and 212K of memory.

Please see the article at:
[[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/High%20memory%20usage?s=memory&as=s]]
It covers some items you can do to reduce memory usage.

I have downloaded itunes 10.3.1.55, when my device connects and syncs, the Summary, Info and Music tabs display, but no text is shown.

I have downloaded iTunes 10.3.1.55, but when I attach my device and attempt to sync, the screens appear, but all the text is gone from the Summary, Music and info tabs. Books, Movies and Apps are ok. I can see buttons, but no text is on the box, so I don't remember what it does. I can see check boxes, but no text.

Don't reset your phone. Resetting will return the phone to factory settings and you will loose everything. Spend some time working toward a fix.
You might want to try a different USB cable. It is possible that your cable conincedentally went bad. I have had this problem before - even cables that will chrage the phone sometimes stop working for data purposes.

I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios7 and syncd it, however after i restored my backup I couldnt sync because itunes claims my pc is no longer authorised for purchased items on my phone. I have repeatedly authorised the pc, and still receive the same error

Hello m2205
Check out the article below to troubleshoot your authorization issue within iTunes, you may need to remove the SC Info folder.

When I had 10.6.8, itunes would leave a left over amount in itunes apps. When I got the upgrade to 10.7 I thougt the problem would go away but it did not. There is a bug in the app system and I think it should be resolve quickly.

When I had 10.6.8, itunes would have a left over amount in itunes apps, it would show you would have 8 apps that need to be updated. I would got to up date them and there would be no apps to up date. 2 days later I would go to up date apps and it would show I have 15 apps to update when I really have 6 then it would add on more invisable apps to which is not there. There is a bug in itunes that needs to be fixed please fix this app section. I have sent letters about this before and you did not listen. I a beta tester and I hate it when my requests don't get fixed.

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

How to reverse the Depreciation for the excess amount posted?

Hi Gurus,
We have uploaded the data last month from legacy system to SAP as below.
The Fiscal year is Jan - Dec and gone live on June 28th 2009.
Accumulated Depreciation was taken till Dec 2008.
Ordinary Depreciation was taken from Jan 2009 to June 2009.
But Ordinary depreciation is not up to date in SAP as the user miss out the 2 months depreciation for each Asset but this was already posted in legacy system. All the GL Balances have been uploaded as per the legacy system. Now system is taking the previous 2 months Depreciation along with the current month. If we run the Depreciation for the current month, the system will post excess amount as it includes previous 2 months Depreciation.
Can any one kindly suggest the process to reverse the excess amount after Depreciation posted for the current month?
Thanks much for the help.
Early responses will be appreciated.
Best Regards,
JBC

HI
Few clarifications-
1. you have posted two months dep in legacy , have you transferred that dep amount wth the ordinary dep transferred from jan to june?
If yes, that means your last posted dep month is june and accordingly you have to set the last period (6) in the SPRO for asset data transfer specifications, so system will start calculating dep from the 7th period only and will not recalculate dep for last two months.Check the last posted period mentioned in SPRO.
2.If you have uploaded wrongly your ordinary dep for current year , then that means your Asset accounting opening balance (migrated balance ) is not matching with your Trial GL upload as well, so you need to correct your asset accounting opening balances.
For this you need to reset your company code status from 0 to blank ( tset data always allowed for asset data transfer). And then correct the values for current year ordinary dep posted from jan to june, also check the last posted dep period as above.
3.However you may post writeup ttype 700 to adjust the excess dep posted by any reason, you can extract last two months dep posted values asset wise from legacy system if already posted, and post the writeups for the same value in current period using LSMW.

and need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(

The requirements for iTunes:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.
Which Mac do you have?

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.
fighter19lisa wrote:
my playlists wont show up on the phone.
Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing.

ITunes says it needs to upgrade but the download never works. What's wrong?

One day I got on iTunes to put some music on my iPod Nano (one of the older versions), and always before when I plugged it in and came up and said it was plugged in, but then it didn't recognize it! This went on for several months, me never being able to put more music on my iPod.
Finally I got the newest Nano for my birthday and I figured it'd work, but the same problem is going on! I've had the brand new iPod for 3 months and it doesn't have ANY music on it!
It does come up and ask if I want to download a newer version of iTunes, that it needs that one to work right (version 8.2 something I think). I go to download it, it takes a while, and then comes up and says the download was unsuccessful, I've tried about 30 times, and it never works.
What is going on?

Instead of trying to update iTunes +from within iTunes+, go to Apple's page where you can download the iTunes 8.2.1 installation file -- save the file, don't run it direct from the download. Once downloaded to your computer, then run the installation file.
If that does not fix the problem, then remove the following software from your computer (you won't lose your music): iTunes, Quicktime, and something called "Apple Mobile Device Services". Once you remove those programs, then run the iTunes installer file (from above) again. That will install all three of these programs and should fix your problem.

Yes, I see that I can get the later version of OS software, but its not availabe for immediate download. My only options appear to be having it shipped, or going to the store to purchase. And if you know of another way that I can access all of my itunes library music on my new phone withouth using itunes, I would love to hear about it.--thanks and again i am so sorry for frustrating you.

How do I have 2 itunes accounts on my mac book-1 for me(which is already on) and one for my partner who's PC has crashed and need to uae my mac book to sync his phone. Help please anyone?

I have a mac book which has my itunes account on it. My partner's PC has crashed and I want to get his itunes account on my mac book so that he can sync his phone. Can someone help me with how I do this please?
Many thanks

Thank you for the reply.
ctrl B makes the top bar (File. Edit. View. Controls. Store. Help.) appear and disappear.
ctrl S makes a side bar appear on the left side of iTunes. It shows the library which has Music. Movies. TV Shows. Apps. Playlists. Ect.
When I did the steps you suggested, my iPhone did not show up in that list.
I checked my firewall settings again, and they seem to be okay. My firewall is the only thing that I am not 100% sure of. If I go to Control Pannel>System and Security>Windows Firewall>Allow an app through Windows Firewall. It shows that iTunes is allowed. I'm not sure if something else might need to be allowed as well though. I have a few Remote options that are not allowed such as, Remote Event Log Management, Remote Scheduled Tasks Management, Remote Shutdown, Remote Volume Management, and Routing and Remote Access. I'm not sure if any of these need to be allowed or not, or if they are even affiliated with iTunes.

I have two iTunes accounts that need to be merged together

Recently with the purchase of a new iPhone, I created a new Apple ID and a new iTunes account in that setup process. How can I merge the old account with the new account? I have not been able to use the iPhone to purchase items from the Apps Store because it links to the new iTunes account. I have not discovered the method to change that iPhone configuration so I can log on with the original iTunes account.
Since the original iTunes account has $20+ balance from an iTunes card, I need to merge these two accounts. Is that an issue for iTunes store customer support?

You cannot merge accounts. But you can change your iPhone to use your old account. Simply go to Settings->Store, sign out of your new account and then sign in to your old account. When signing in to the old account select "Use Existing Apple ID" and not "Create New Apple ID."

I have my own icloud account separate from my family's apple ID for itunes. I need more storage for icloud...do I have to pay a separate $20/ month to get more storage or does the $20 include all members of the plan?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your iCloud account uses your family's Apple ID, you will pay $20/year for all your family members. If your iCloud account uses a different Apple ID than your family's Apple ID, you will pay only for you

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.
