ITunes shows different disk space during synchronisation and after completing synchronisation
I have about 13'000 songs on my iMac (actual used hard disk space 107 GB) and i sync the music with my iPhone 5. I use the sync option «... convert titles larger than 128 kBit/s ...», so that there is enough space for all my songs on the iPhone. If i start the sync process, it says 13'000 songs, space needed 49 GB. After completet sync process, it shows 54 GB disk space used für the 13'000 songs!?!?! After a few minutes, there again, i get the right information about used disk space für music displayed, 49 GB. Anybody any idea what causes this effect? Thx for any idea.
And here two screenshots of the inconsistent behaviour of used / free disk space:

Satellite C660-1PH - HDD shows different free space
Hello,
Ive noticed the last days that the 'windows partition C:' of my disk shows different free space without downloading/installing anything
E.g. I had 104GB free, then on next day it was showing 100GB free and then suddenly it became 104GB again. It happened with different values another day, it just keep changing out of the blue.
What could be causing this? Could the hard disk be faulty?
Thank youHi
Please dont forget that temporal stored files can change value of the free space on the HDD.
Use the CCLeaner (freeware) software which would delete and remove the temporal stored files. -
Not enough disk space during application install.
Hello and thanks. I'm trying to install an application on a Windows Boot Camp partition. There are no other applications installed other than XP Pro SP2. I have about 15gb of free space on the partition. I'm getting an error that there is not enough disk space to install the application. The partition is FAT32. The application is DeLorme xMap 5.2. The free space is showing up when I check the capacity. Any ideas?
HI...
You need at the very least 15% free disk space. More if possible. Definitely not enough free space to install a 17GB app.

And make sure your Mac meets the app's minimum requirements which according to the App Store is Mac OS X 10.7.3 or later under Information right side of the App Store window.

itunes will not sync photos to my New iPad, I run all current software. Itunes show 0 photos in all albums and events. Why is this and how do I get iTunes to recognise my photo library?
Select you device from the left sidebar of iTunes and navigate to the Photos tab at the top. Do you have the Sync Photos With checkbox checked and set to iPhoto?

Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?
Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?
So could I take everything off my external hard drive, save it to my Mac, then re-format it for my Mac and move everything back to the external hard drive?
Yes. Keep in mind that you need to back up all data, including the data on an external drive. So if you're going to use the external drive to store original data, as opposed to backups, then you really need another one to back up the first one. You also need to back up the data on your internal drive, of course. This isn't optional. You must do it, or you'll lose everything sooner or later. All disk drives fail eventually, often with no warning.
If I do that how do I format the external hard drive for my Mac?
Launch the Disk Utility application and search the built-in help for "erase."
Would it be easier to just buy a external hard drive that is for a Mac?
All external hard drives work with Macs. Some might come pre-formatted for use with Macs, but it only takes a few minutes to do that yourself. -
LR 5.5 upgrade. I only get the the 32 bit set up and an error when the 64 bit set up should be created. It says not enough disk space and no access to write. The disk space is okay and the 32 bit file was indeed created. I have Windows 7 Home edition.
Hi Rob, Thanks for your input. The temp location is on the C drive with 228 GB free space. My other drives have 123 GB and 204 GB of free space. I can see how the 32 bit set up is perfectly extracted when it stops when coming to the 64 bit set up. I have done the exercise several times and also made new downloads. I am using Norton 360 and Malwarebytes anti-malware but the dowload from Adobe should be trusted.

Itunes shows only 4.3.5 update even after downloading itunes 10.5 on mac..
itunes shows only 4.3.5 update even after downloading itunes 10.5 on mac..
Problem solved.
In iTunes, I selected Backup from my iPod's contextual menu under Devices. I then did a restore and all the music is back. It only took a few minutes.
These choices are only available via the device contextual menu, not the main iTunes pull-down menus. -
I am having issues with MLBtv, when I switch on my ATV it no longer comes up as an option nor does vimeo or the iTunes store, i've tried resets etc and after those they appear. put the tav into sleep mode and mysteriously they don't re appear. Any ideas?
I am having the same issue but mine is with Netflix. And there are only 4 categories now on the main menue when there used to be 5. Something went crazy with ATV software.

I updated my 2nd gen apple tv and after completing the downloading and installing the software I got an itunes picture that means i have to connect it to iTunes,, can i skip this ? coz i don't have the mini usb cable
No, if you have that picture it means the update went wrong and you need to restore via iTunes.

Disk Utility shows different available space than Finder?
I just reinstalled Lion from a fresh harddrive. I did not use the migration asistance to pull files over to the new drive, I selested files and dragged them over, So not to fill the drive with things I dont need....
So I "Get info" on the main harddrive it shows
Which is crazy! Then I use Disk Invintory and it shows:
and Disk Untility shows:
Why the difference? Simple question and How do I free up space?

Well, I'm seeing the same thing so before I post yet another note to this group and get no response, I'll at least throw in my .02 cents here as well. Not sure you've found the solution but I've recently started seeing the same thing.
If you use Time Machine, most likely, the difference is your Local Snapshots. Those are kept on the OSX drive on laptops, so you can have access to them when your normal external backups aren't available.
They'll be deleted automatically if your disk gets over 80% full, so aren't shown by the Finder, so you won't worry about the space they take up. Plus, they're "thinned" to one per day after 24 hours, then deleted after a week.
So they really don't cause a problem, other than showing the different amounts.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #30 for the gory details.
If that doesn't fully explain the space problem, see Where did my Disk Space go?
To top this off, what else I'm finding is that there are a number of anomalies I'm encountering that seem mysterious such as Mail no longer functioning correctly, apps crashing, computer restarts randomly.
It all started back in April when my HD crashed and I had to have Apple replace it. Since then, I've gone through 3 "Logic Boards" and even had Apple do further tests but cannot find anything else wrong with it. I'm really struggling with this one!
Sounds like you may have other problems, too.
If Apple has replaced 3 logic boards, but the problem persists, you may want to call AppleCare and ask for Customer Relations. They may not want to transfer you, but insist on it (politely, of course, but firmly). Have all the dates and details handy for them. Ask them to either get it fixed, or replaced. -
So heres the deal, I updated my iphone and in order to put any music on it or even ringtones I have to have the most updated version of iTunes, unfortunately my macbook wont allow the update, I do have a lot of pictures and song stored on here but I have no documents I have deleted everything the only thing left on here is what the macbook came with. I checked and it says that I have enough memory so is there another reason I cant update. When I try and check for the update option in iTunes it says its up to date but I have version 10 something so I know its old, I haven't been able to update anything on here. Do I have to take it to the store or is there something that I can fix on my own because my warranty is up and I have nothing but problems when I go into an actual apple store.
