ITunes update wiped out my music and apps.  When I got everything back, now it won't sync.  It says I don't have enough space on iPod.  I have more than enough.

I Updated itunes and it wiped out all of my music and apps.  I had over 4500 songs and had to reload.  Some from backup, some from cd's.  Now when I try to sync my IPods and IPad, it says I don't have enough space to sync.  I know I do because I have less now than when I would sync before all of the nice update.

Depending on how you recovered the library iTunes may see the restored files as "new" content and not match them properly with what is already on the device. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash for the way I would normally approach the issue. You may need to manually backup and then restore the device in order to fix things.

    There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
    The issue your having is with the way Keynote  takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
    Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
    If you want to show a wesite or another app on  either display,  use application switcher:
    press the the  command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command  > tab to return to Keynote.

  • Can't install itunes on windows 7 machine. I keep getting A message stating that I don't meet min. requirements, but the machine has more than enough. What do I need to do to correct this?

    Can't install itunes on windows 7 machine. I keep getting A message stating that I don't meet min. requirements, but the machine has more than enough. What do I need to do to correct this?

    Are you trying to install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit machine, or vice versa?
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I was on windows 7 but changed to vista when i sync my iphone i lost all my photos music and apps can i get them back any how???please help me

    i was on windows 7 and i had to format my computer i put windows vista on and when i downloaded itunes and sync my iphone i lost all my photos music and apps that was on my phone,my itunes account says i have got to accounts on two computers?? is there anyway i can get anything back? please help me. i have tried restore to back up but it is the same????

    If they really meant that much to you, they would have been copied off to a computer at the earliest possible opportunity.
    I personally find it amazing that people get so upset when pictures "accidentally" get deleted and then scream about how important they are.  You wouldn't leave important paper work lying around to be lost/damaged/stolen, so why take a chance with important pictures on a device that can so easily be lost/damaged/stolen, or deleted by a child.

  • The i tune music library cannot be saved because there isn't enough memory available. (but there is more than enough)

    Hi
    I'm re creating my library and a window keep appearing saying that " my music library cannot be saved because there isn't enough memory available". There more than enough memory for what I 'm doing and I don't know what to do.
    Please some help
    thank you !!

    For resolving your issue, you are able to do as the followings :
     1.Close  any SkyDrive related process
     2.Open  a command prompt (not PowerShell), and change to the directory where Microsoft Office 2013 is installed by typing the command below:
     cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\
     3.Then type “groove.exe /clean /all” to clear all SkyDrive Pro cache and settings, setting it back to default again
    Here is a similar post for your reference:
    http://www.mokonamodoki.com/skydrive-pro-critical-error
    If the issue still exists after doing the above steps, actually we have a dedicated support team regarding this kind of issue. I recommend you post a new thread in another forum where is staffed by many experts focusing on the Microsoft SkyDrive Pro client
    issue.

  • Latest version of iTunes update wiped out all my music

    I just installed the latest iTunes update and it wiped out my whole music library.  What do I do now?  How do I get it back?  All I did was press the Install Link. I have done this a dozen or more times with no problem.  I highly recommend NOT installing the update until Apple fixes this Glitch!!!!

  • My iPad won't sync it says I don't have enough available space...

    Okay, so all I did was add a digital copy of a video to my iTunes library.  It now won't sync my iPad even though it synced my iPhone, which has the exact same items on it (except my iPhone has WAY more pictures); and according to the usuage meter on the bottom my capacity is 13.83 GB and I have 5.6GB available.  What is the reason for this and how do I fix it?  Thanks in advance for the help!

    How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Synch displays 'not enough space' msg but there are more than 1Gb free

    I have reset, my ipod nano (16Gb space) twice and still the audio bar shows there is 1.13 Gbs free and this is correct) but when synching, the error message says there is no space and then the audio bar shows no space available. I have untick and tick several times the synching of video and podcasts and still no luck.
    Any advice?

    You can try restoring the ipod, this wipes it clean and itunes adds it all back UNLESS you don't have the files/songs on the PC

  • I have a new ipod touch 32 gb.  I want to sync 2,250 songs from itunes, but it won't sync - it says I don't have enough space.  A 32 GB is suppose to hold up to 7000 songs!  I have not put anything else in it.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have a new ipod touch, 32GB, 4th gen.  I tried to sync the 2,250 songs I have in itunes to the ipod, but it says I don't have enough space.  This ipod is supposed to hold up to 7000 songs.  I haven't put photos or anything else in this ipod.  What am I missing?

  • If i update my itunes ill i lose my music and apps?

    i cant download books and some other apps unless i update but am worried if i update i will lose my whole library of songs and also apps??? any able to help???

    Yes, it should be fine. But I would go out and purchase an external drive. You don't want to wait for something to happen.
    I see many posts from people who have lost data and didn't have any backup.
    Apps can be reloaded but data may be lost. Music can only be reloaded in the US. Never a good idea to only have something in one place.

  • ITunes wiped out all music and playlists

    This is a real problem as many of what I have loaded are teaching lectures and the titles were added at the ITunes level.   What is on my hard drive are numbers that have no coorelation to the lecture title.   

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

  • TS2529 my itunes has wiped all my music and when i add it again it does not save them. i can find them in my windows music file, but can't do anything with them. does someone have a solution

    I haven't used my itunes for a while. When i went on to download my latest songs everything was missing. so i tried downloading a song, but when i closed down my itunes and turned it back on, it had gone again. does anyone know how to fix this. all my songs are still on my ipod but i want them on my itunes too.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.
