ITunes folder bigger then what is in itunes.

i Recently noticed that the TVS shows folder on my computer is saying that it's 130GB (which is probably would be I have a lot) but when I check it on iTunes cause I have it all there it's only 55Gb on iTunes.  theres no duplicates either and no hidden files. I've checked the size of a few files and there misty 10-30mb extra then on iTunes  and some are bigger in iTunes and smaller in the TV shows folder..
anyone got any ideas?

  • I want to share my GB track with friends. I have "shared" it with iTunes, then what do I do?

    I don't know how to get my GB track to my friends, some of whom will have macs and some pcs. I have "shared" it with iTunes, but then what do I do? I know I can burn it to a cd, but I just want to send them the file. I've been told I can make it a podcast and post it on my Facebook page, but I don't know how to do this either! Basically, I want to be able to send a link to the track so that foks with either macs or pcs can listen to it. Thanks!

    What is your GarageBand version?
    In GarageBand '11 you have the option "Share > Send Podcast to iWeb". You will have to use the software you are using to create webpages to link to that file.
    In GarageBand 10.0 you can use the option "Share > SoundCloud".
    If you only want a place to put the song for download, get yourself a Dropbox, see:  Download Dropbox for Mac OS
    In GarageBand, use "Export Song to Disk".
    Then put the song into the "public" folder in your dropbox and send the link to your friends.

  • I have MBP 13 late 2011:Will it be able to support a 3tb hardisk?Secondly, if i delete a song from itunes,is that song removed from the mac and is the space freed up?If not then what should I do to free up space when i delete songs from itunes?

    Your MBP will support a 3T HDD provided it is formatted correctly and has sufficient power.  Most large HDDs require an outboard power source.
    When you delete songs from iTunes you will get a message if you want to send it to trash.  If you send it to trash, space will be freed up only when you empty trash.  An individual song does not consume much space so if your HDD is becoming full, more drastic action s should be considered, such as moving an entire file to an external HDD.

    can some one help with my iphone 4 not switching on , well it show swipe to switch on wich says configure , when swipe it says connect to itunes.

    Try holding the sleep/wake and home button til the phone turns off then turn it back on using the sleep/wake button. This resets the phone. If you still have trouble connecting to the netwok then try Settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings. This should clear it up. If not then try to restore your phone using itunes.

  • How do I change desktop folder/safari pictures to registered business icons, I have tried almost every how to  on-line but none are worki?  I have treing. First how do I get the icon I need from the website and then what?

    How do I change Mac desktop folder/safari pictures to registered business icons? I have tried almost everythin but none are working.  First how do I capture the business icon from the website, then what?

    OK, well to start with, you must have the icon file in the correct format. You need to end up with an .icns file. One of the how-to articles should tell you how to do this - iConvert will also do it.
    If it is in the correct format, when you click the icon file to highlight it, and click cmd-i, you will see the Get Info window - at the top left, you should see a mini version of the icon. If you do NOT see that icon correctly, the file is not the correct format. So this will not work for a jpg or png file, for example.
    Once you have this window open, go to the thumbnail, click it to highlight it blue, and click cmd-C to copy.
    Go to your Safari app from the Applications folder (not from the dock), again click cmd-i to open its Get Info window, and again click its icon to highlight it blue. Now click cmd-V to paste. You will be asked for your admin password to authenticate. The icon should now become the one you've pasted in.
    You may need to log out and back in for the effect to show on the application file itself.
    You might also want to look into Candybar if you plan on doing a lot of icon customization.

  • When I select files to archive, they move from my file folder, but then I go to the archive folder and it says Empty? Where are those files?

    Your account names are probably different on the two Macs. If you know the UNIX command line, open a terminal window and run:
    $ id 
    You should see a line that starts with something like this:
    uid=501(your_user_id_here)
    now check the owner of the folder you copied over:
    $ ls -ld Music
    drwx------+ 8 some_user_id_here  staff  272 May 14 16:08 Music
    Do the IDs match? If not, you could change the ownership. Say your id is "johnsmith"
    $ chown -R johnsmith Music
    Now try and access it with iTunes.

  • Will Safari 5.1.10 work for all versions of 10.6 or just version 10.6.8? If it requires 10.6.8 then what is the latest version of Sarari that will work with 10.6.6?

    Will Safari 5.1.10 work with all versions 10.6 or does it require 10.6.8? If it does require 10.6.8 then what is the latest version of Safari that will work with 10.6.6?
    Thanks
    Eric

    This Mac currently has Safari 5.0.4. Software Update shows a newer version of iTunes and of course the combo updater to 10.6.8 but nothing else. I imagine the 10.6.8 updater contains a later version of Safari but I don't now which version it is and whether it is backward compatible with older versions of 10.6. There are a number of newer versions of Safari: 5.0.5. 5.0.6, 5.1.1, 5.1.2, . . . 5.1.10 to name a few but would any of them work with 10.6.6? In a similar thread a guy asked a similar question to mine: he had 10.6.6 and wanted to upgrade to a newer version of Safari. He tried installing various versions but was rejected each time. He finally asked if there was any newer version of Safari that would install on 101.6.6 - but he never got an answer.
    Software Update displayed a newer iTunes but no mention of Safari. I wonder if this indicates that the 5.0.4 Safari that I have is the latest version there is for 10.6.6. Anybodyknow for sure?
    TIA

    EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!
    IS THERE ANY WAY TO RETREIVE AN ACCIDENTALLY DELETED BACK UP FROM MY TIME MACHINE DRIVE????
    In other words, I emptied out a folder on my main MAC to make space and the next subsequent backup backed up the EMPTY FOLDER and then deleted the "old backup" that actually contained the contents of the very important folder.
    Now only the emptied folder exists on my MAC and in the two backups on my Time machine backup drive.
    This was clearly a big mistake on my part not realizing that the "old backup" being deleted by Time Machine would include backed up files that I had no intention of getting rid of....
    What can I do now?
    Is DATA RETREIVAL even an option?
    I am sure that the Folder of files that I need are on the most recently deleted "OLD BACKUP" but how do I get to this, if even possible?????
    Super desperate situation here...

    It may be possible to recover some of the data, if it hasn't been overwritten, but it won't be cheap or easy. 
    You've posted in the Time Capsule forum, but you mention a "backup drive."  If your backups are on a Time Capsule's internal HD, instead of an external HD, it's even worse.
    See Data Recovery.
    Good luck.

  • I've got a late 2009 mac mini with a 320gb hard drive and I want to upgrade it to a 1tb drive or bigger. What HDDs are compatible with my mini?

    I've got a late 2009 mac mini with a 320gb hard drive and I want to upgrade it to a 1tb drive or bigger. What HDDs are compatible with my mini?
    Because of the price I'm not interested in solid state drives, unless of course you want to send me $1,000.
    I've already got external drives but I take my mini back and forth to work and don't want to carry those drives with me.
    I'm not interested in buying a laptop. My mini works great so why waste $1,000 or more when I can buy a 1 to 3 TB hdd for under $300 and have exactly what I want. My late 2009 Mac Mini with a large hdd.
    I went to Crucial's website and they can't tell me what drives fit my Mac Mini. That's where I got my ram (8GB). I'm ONLY interested in name brand quality HDDs.

    The limiting factor in your 2009 mini is the max 9.5mm drive thickness.
    One of the largest capacity 2.5" drives that meets this criteria is the HGST (formerly Hitachi) at 1.5GB
    Any reputable SATA HDD you can find that is not thicker then this 9.5mm will work.
