Just over 2 GB left (out of 60)...how to increase capacity?

I am definitely a music lover, and have almost filled up my 60 GB iPod, but plan to continue acquiring music and like to have it all in one place.
I always convert everything to AAC, which I understand to be the smallest format. I wonder if there are any other tricks that might free up some room (a friend suggested eliminating space between hidden tracks, which seems like a pain in the ***).
Otherwise I might just have to break down and buy the Toshiba 80 GB hard drive, but I'd like that to be a last resort.
Ideas?

Your 80g Toshiba hd will eventually run out of room, too.
So, billy96’s idea is a good alternative. These iPods don’t last forever - see Discussions - a second iPod might be a better alternative than putting in a new hd.
However, here is another possibility......
Add as many songs or gigs of music to iTunes as your hard drive will hold.
Make a new playlist calling it iPodPlaylist or some other appropriate name.
Drag library onto iPodPlaylist.
Go through iPodPlaylist deleting enough music to bring its size down to fit your iPod.
Choose “Automatically update selected playlist only” from iTunes / Preferences / iPod / Music.
Choose iPodPlaylist as the Playlist to be updated
reload your iPod.
Any time you feel like it, delete all your songs from the iPod Playlist in iTunes and then drag Library back onto iPodPlaylist - go through the procedure again eliminating enough songs from the iPodPlaylist to fit onto your iPod.
Cheers,

  • How to increase capacity from 8GB to 16GB

    I have an 8GB iphone 4 is it possible to upgrade the capacity to 16GB?

    You could sell the iPhone 4 and get an iPhone with a larger capacity. But upgrading the storage is not an option that apple offers.

  • LEFT OUTER JOIN SQL syntax

    Haven't seen a solution to this on the forum or in the docs. My last post timed out with no responses, but I still don't know if I have a possible solution.
    I've got 2 objects, Task and Role, that are linked in a M-M relationship.
    My tables are:
    T_TASKS
    T_TASKSROLES
    T_ROLES
    I am querying T_TASKS and joining on T_TASKSROLES and T_ROLES, but I need to use an outer join because not all Tasks have a Role in T_TASKSROLES.
    In SQL Server, my FROM clause SHOULD look like this:
    FROM (T_TASKSROLES t2 LEFT OUTER JOIN T_TASKS t1 ON t1.ID = t2.TASKID) LEFT OUTER JOIN T_ROLES t0 ON t0.ID = t2.ROLEID
    however, if I use eb.anyOfAllowingNone(_roles) in my ExpressionBuilder. TopLink creates a LEFT OUTER JOIN clause that looks like this:
    FROM T_ROLES t0 LEFT OUTER JOIN T_TASKS t1 ON((t0.ID = T_TASKSROLES.ROLEID) AND (t1.ID = T_TASKSROLES.TASKID))
    I can see the logic in how it builds this clause. But, it doesn't parse in SQL Server.
    Is there a way to effect how TopLink generates the FROM clause for outer joins? I mean, I understand how to use the XXXPlatform.java source files and can change whether to use OuterJoin in the WHERE clause or not. But, I can't see anything in the platform class that would allow me to figure this out.
    I realize I could write SQL manually, but is there a way to do this so that the same code would work on SQL Server, Oracle, and Sybase (assuming the DatabaseLogin is configured appropriately)?
    It just seems like LEFT OUTER JOIN when joining M-M relationships isn't generating proper SQL. Is the TopLink SQL SQL92-compliant?
    I should add that I have tried to change SQLServerPlatform to have shouldPrintOuterJoinInWhereClause() return "true". This embeds a "=*" in the join conditions in the WHERE clause.
    SQL Server 2000 still supports this syntax, but the "=*" isn't ALWAYS the correct operator. It is important to put the "*" on the correct side of the expression. TopLink always prints "=*", but the operators are not always in the correct order. So, it tries to create a "left join" on the wrong table.
    So my other question, is it possible to force TopLink to remember to put the outer join table in the RIGHT SIDE?
    Nate

    The workaround is actually more complicated than that, and it can't be fixed by changing only the operator.
    In the queries you listed, the only difference is which side of the "AND" the expressions appear on.
    Change "(t2.rightid (+)= t1.rightid)" to "(t1.rightid (+)= t2.rightid)" and I'm guessing (although not sure because I am testing with SQL Server at the moment), that you'll get a similar query error as I did.
    The bug here is that the default M-M selection criteria creates "reltable = table1 AND table2 = reltable". There is no operator that can satisfy this expression.
    So, the fix that I made, for all of my M-M Mappings was to set the SelectionCriteria manually using the following Expression (returned from this method):
    // This puts M-M relationship tables on the same side of expressions so that OUTER JOINS can be supported.
    private Expression getSameSideExpression() {
              // target side
              Expression selectionCriteria = null;
    Enumeration e2 = getTargetKeyFields().elements();
    Enumeration e = getTargetRelationKeyFields().elements();
    ExpressionBuilder eb = new ExpressionBuilder();
    Expression relTableExp = null;
    while(e2.hasMoreElements()) {
    DatabaseField df = (DatabaseField) e.nextElement();
    DatabaseField df2 = (DatabaseField) e2.nextElement();
    if(relTableExp == null){
    relTableExp = eb.getTable(df.getTable());
    Expression targetFieldExp = eb.getField(df2);
    Expression relFieldExp = relTableExp.getField(df);
    Expression joinExp = relFieldExp.equal(targetFieldExp);
    if(selectionCriteria == null)
    selectionCriteria = joinExp;
    else
    selectionCriteria = joinExp.and(selectionCriteria);
              // source side
    e = getSourceRelationKeyFields().elements();
              e2 = getSourceKeyFields().elements();
    while(e.hasMoreElements()) {
    DatabaseField df = (DatabaseField) e.nextElement();
    DatabaseField df2 = (DatabaseField) e2.nextElement();
    Expression relFieldExp = relTableExp.getField(df);
    Expression sourceFieldExp = eb.getParameter(df2);
    Expression joinExp = relFieldExp.equal(sourceFieldExp);
    if(selectionCriteria == null)
                        selectionCriteria = joinExp;
    else
    selectionCriteria = joinExp.and(selectionCriteria);
              return selectionCriteria;
    This changes the M-M Selection Criteria to "table1 = reltable AND table2 = reltable". Now that this is consistent, using the WHERE clause for my joins in SQL Server is possible.
    If you can think of any other problems this change may have, please let me know.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Chandran,
                I got that Idea too. I created a authorized customer, I created a authorized Object and assigned to a role.But in the role, when I am changing the object to generate profile, it is asking to select list of customers from the customer table.If the customers are always constant then this would work,  but in my scenario, customers for the sales rep changes over time and when I ever reps open the query, they should see updated list of customers assigned to them only, as we update the master data everyday from source system and that shud reflect in the value help.
    I am trying User Exit to achieve this, but I am not getting proper ideas how to do this.
    Any Help on this issue with user exit code???
    Thanks in Advance

  • HT5085 how can i know how much of the content of my library will be added to iTunes Match, and if some of it will be left out??

    I mean... I don't wan to start paying a service, to find out later, that half of my library doesn't match or something like that and will be left out. I've never bought a single song from iTunes (maybe just a couple...) all my music was added from imported CD's or downloaded and added to iTunes from the internet, so I'm afraid most of it won't will be matched or recognized by iTunes...
    If somebody knows a way to "test" your library to find out how much of it is compatible with iTunes, i will be very thankfull.

    I didn't say "re-create" I said "restore from a backup." Restoring from a backup will place all the files just as they were right back where they need to be. This includes the .itl, .itdb ad .xml files iTunes needs to recognize that the files on the internal HDD are the same as the files in the cloud.
    You do have a backup, don't you? If you don't then I strongly recommend you start backing up immediately.
    If all else fails you can email iTunes Store support and ask them to reset your iTunes Match DB on the server. This will require your iTunes to go through the entire scan, match and upload process as if it were the first time.

  • How to do left outer join in one-one mapping

    I tried to do a left outer join between two tables. I specified
    kodo.jdbc.DBDictionary: JoinSyntax=sql92 in kodo.properties. I used
    ref-join-type="outer" in the package.mapping. However, I still see Kodo is
    translating my queries using inner join. How can I force kodo to use outer
    join (or maybe even to use left outer join) when translating my queries?
    Thanks.

    Kodo will automatically use an outer join when eager-fetching a to-one
    relation (unless you have set null-value="exception" on the field, in
    which case Kodo knows it can use an inner join). There is no need to set
    the ref-join type (in fact, that is only for when the foreign key
    columns are in a joined table).
    When you place criteria on a relation in a query, though, the relation
    must exist to satisfy the query. For example, in the filter:
    "relation.x == y"
    The "relation" field must hold a related object to satisfy the
    expression, just as in Java.
    If you want the "relation" field to optionally be null, then write your
    filter exactly as you would in Java:
    "relation == null || relation.x == y"
    Kodo will correctly use an outer join in this case because the filter
    can be satisfied even when no related object exists.

  • How to use left outer join on more than one table (source)

    Hi all,
    In our project we are converting the Unix shell & SQL scripts into OWB mappings. We are facing problem converting left outer join in OWB. here is one of the example. i have just pasted the FROM and where condition.
    FROM ym_scr t1, branch_finmonth t3
    LEFT OUTER JOIN item_image t2
    ON (t1.branch_no = t2.branch_no
    AND t1.item_no = t2.item_no
    AND t3.to_date between t2.tran_dt and t2.to_dt
    AND t2.to_dt >= '$start_images' ) <<<========= '$start_images' THIS COMES FROM THE UNIX VARAIBLE ,
    We converts the same when we are putting it in OWB join Operator
    INGRP1.branch_no = INGRP2.branch_no(+)
    AND INGRP1.item_no = INGRP2.item_no(+)
    AND INGRP3.to_date between t2.tran_dt and t2.to_dt
    AND INGRP2.to_dt >= INGRP2.start_images
    But as you see in the OWB opreator we can put left join with INGRP1 with INGRP2.
    We can not make same join with INGRP3 & INGRP4 , becoz it failed saying "you cannot left outer join on more than one table/source".
    so overall this OWB code makes incomplete left outer join as per the above ANSI SQL join in Oracle.
    Bcoz of the problem we are getting less number of rows...........
    SO please please help me on this
    Regards
    Ashok

    Hi.
    I know this topic is here for a while now, but I had the same problem today, searched for help and didn´t find anything.
    Later I figured out how to do this.
    You just have to put the (+) one time, and the OWB converts in an LEFT OUTER JOIN statement.
    For this case, all you have to do is:
    ( INGRP1.branch_no = INGRP2.branch_no(+) AND INGRP1.item_no = INGRP2.item_no AND INGRP2.to_dt >= INGRP2.start_images )

  • How do I make a new tab open all the say to the right, as it used to, instead of just to the LEFT of the last tab?

    I have 6 tabs set up and have become very accustomed to the position they’re in. When doing a specific task for my job, a 7th tab opens up. It has always opened all the way to the right. When I’m done reading the information it gives me, I just quickly “x” it out to return working. Yesterday I noticed that this 7th tab was not opening up all the way to the right. It was opening in the next-to-last position to the right. This might not seem like a problem, but when I go to close it, I’m so used to x-ing out the one to the far right, that I’ve been x-ing out a tab that I need.
    So the question: How can I get the new tab that opens to appear all the way on the right again? Again, this is not adding a new tab. If I add a new tab to search for something, it does open all the way to the right.
    == I rebooted my computer a few days ago...

    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
    Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''

  • Just updated to iOS8 and most of my music disappeared.  Attempted to sync with iTunes to get it back but iTunes now says I am 26GB over capacity and "Other" files are taking up just over 29GB!  What is going on and how do I fix this?

    iPhone 5 (64GB)

    I had restored my iPhone 5 to factory settings and that cleared the problematic "Other" problem.  Flash forward a couple weeks and the problem has once again resurfaced.
    I tried updating iTunes and iOS to the newest versions and the problem still persists.
    I'm officially ready to switch to Windows Phone or Android now...

    It is possible that the screen is too high and that the scroll bar and the find bar and add-on bar fall off at the bottom.
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.
