Library has increased its gb size

Having just updated to the latest version of i tunes my library in itunes has grown from 12 gb to 75 gb with no extra tracks being added. My ipod still updates and keeps the library at 12 gb. does anyone know what has happened i did consolidate my library after the update thats whe the probs began.

Update: iTunes readjusted my files, and they are back to original size! Just as spontaneously as they grew, they shrank back again.
All I did was check all the songs in the library and deleted a couple of dozen duplicates and a couple of songs that were listed but not available (maybe the data was corrupted for those files). After deleting the "corrupted" songs, the playlist size went back to normal (from 2.4 gb to 788 mg).
I hope this information helps someone.

A3 library has increased size after upgrade

Hi ,
After I did an upgrade to A3 my library has really increased the size from 80gb to 320gb, can someone please help me on this?
is there something I have done wrong?
Thanks in advance.

As mentioned down-thread, let Aperture run for four or five days. On your MPB that means screen open, plugged in, Aperture loaded, and no auto-sleep. Make Aperture the current application before going to bed and let it run all night.
If you still are having problems, go through the usual Aperture first-aid:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=26%26se ction=10%26tasks=true
You could repair and rebuild you Library first. No harm done that way. Rebuilding will take several (many?) hours.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

My iphone has inceased its size as if I has blown the icons up i cannot make a call i cannot shrink it down to show the icons

Double tap with screen with 3 fingers. Wen you get it back to normal, go to Settings > General > Accessibility, and turn off the Zoom function.

One library has images only, other library has library data & thumbs

Hi,
Somehow, after a crash recovery, I ended up with 2 libraries with info from each in the other library.
One library has about 4100 full size images- but no keywords, albums or roll names, and the other library has all keywords, albums and roll names, but no images- just the thumbs for about 4000 images.
I tried to merge them with iPhoto Library Manager, and that brought in the albums, but no keywords or smart folders or roll names.
Is there way to combine the 2 libraries?
Thanks,
Guy

Guy:
Open the library that has just the thumbnail images like this and see if the Originals folder has you full sized image files. If it does then do the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
That should give you your library back. If all is well then you can delete the two other libraries that you don't need.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Why did rebuilding my Aperture library increase its size by 50 GB?

After updating to 3.3, library conversion was no problem, but I rebuilt the library today and its size increased from 125 GB to 173 GB. This is large enough to be discomforting. All masters (orginals, I guess, now) are referenced.

I have maintain previews off. For ones that I need (like to share with iPhone, Flickr, etc.), I generate them manually. I might try deleting all previews and see what happens to the library size.
I rebuilt because vault updates (for both exisiting and new vaults) were hanging.

Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt

Hello,
As many of you, I've installed photos. This is my problem: I am an enthusiastic photographer that keeps around 10K photos per year (approx. 60GB), and while I have several years of pictures, I've just get the last 5 years. To be honest, I never liked iphoto to organize my pictures, I rather use Picasa. The way how pictures get organized, the poor effects tweaks to photos, the lack of freedom to keep an online folder...etc.
But with this new Photos, well, what the heck let's give it a chance.
It seemed cool, all my devices connected, iCloud (very limited storage though), new nice quick effects... the organization of pictures also seemed improved. the UI as usual with apple apps, pretty neat and clean.
Did I mentioned that I have several hundreds of GB of pictures? Well, a detail, I keep it in my time capsule to have them handy when I need it. With picasa, I just need to ensure that time capsule is waked, and pictures get recognized at once.
With photos, I've tried with 1 year, 10,000 pictures and.... very disappointed, it shutdown every 1 minute saying "Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt"...
Do I missing something here? is this supposed to be better than iPhoto? Time Capsule is not able to send steady signal to get my library online?

Not sure exactly whats going on with that given how new Photos is. But, Picasa works because differently than Photos because it doesn't use a centralized library. Picasa will just scan the entire computer and reference it in that location. Photos libraries, while sometimes problematic, are superior because as you've experience moving all the content is as simply as moving a single file.
Suggestions I would try:
Make sure Photos is quit. Hold down Command + Option on keyboard and click Photos icon to launch. Keep holding until you get a dialog box about repairing the library. Proceed with repair.
Move the library, if size permits, to your local HD on the computer and attempt to open and use.
Create a new library by holding Option on keyboard and launching Photos. Choose to create a new library and make sure it's placed in your ~/Pictures folder. If that works you know its library specific.
Right click on the external drive (also accomplished by holding Control when click), choose get info on the drive. Bottom of new window expand (if not already) the sharing and permissions section. Click lock icon and provide administrator password. If available, which it should be if using same drive for a Time Machine backup, check box to ignore permissions.

Is normal that appear a spot when i use the camera? and when you apply the zoom, the spot increases its size?

Morning alex navarro,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Hope this helps,
Mario

Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

Hello Apple.
It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed? (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.

The box in my Photoshop Elements, which shows the size and types of brushes has shrunk to one unreadable line. How do I expand the box to its original size? I have tried dragging it open but nothing moves.

Well, when you open the program, the splash screen, the window you see while the program is opening, should make that clear enough. For example:

I am trying to decrease the size of my aperature library on my MB Pro HD. I used file\ relocate master to move files to my External HD(EHD) and this worked. However, the size of my MBP library has not decreased.

I am trying to decrease the size of my aperature library on my MB Pro HD. I used file\ relocate master to move files to my External HD(EHD) and this worked. However, the size of my MBP library has not decreased. I do not want to delete the files on my MB Pro until I am confident Aperature can see the files on the EHD. It looks like the relocate master fxn just copies the masters and data to another location.

Relocate master (or original in newer versions) does move and not copy the master file. Jut to make sure I just ram a test and moved some images out of the library to an external drive and they were definitely gone from the Aperture library.
If you look at the images in the library that you moved do they have the referenced file badge? If you run a filter on your library looking for referenced files do the images you relocated show up? If you select one of the images and do a Show in Finder what does it show? Finally if you select the images and do Locate Referenced files do they appear listed as being on the volume you put them on?
You could go into the library and look for the masters you moved to see if they are still there but if all the above show you they were relocated then I don;t think you will find them.
How are you checking the library size? Have you quit Aperture and restarted it (better would be to log out and log back in) and then checked the size? It is possible that some of that data is cached and won't get updated till you restart.
Finally you could do a library repair in case something got 'stuck'.

My itunes library has gone following a laptop rebuild. I do have my iPod which is up to date - can I transfer from the iPod to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I snyc?

My itunes library has gone and is empty following a laptop rebuild. I do have my iPod which is up to date with music, photos, apps etc - can I transfer from the iPod Touch to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I sync to the laptop? PLEASE HELP!

I'm guessing you've got iPod touch 2nd generation
iPod touch 2nd generation only goes up to 4.2.1, so you'll need a newer generation...
iPod touch 3rd generation only goes up to 5.1.1
4th and 5th generation both go up to iOS 6.1.3, wich is the current latest version.
Hope this helps

i have used following ALTER query,
ALTER DATABASE database_name MODIFY (EDITION='Business', MAXSIZE=10GB);
Regards

Hi Taiye,
According to your description, in theory, we can modify the size of database, and the T-SQL statement in your post is right. So we need to verify if there is no problem with network when you execute the modification statement, in addition, you must be connected
to the master database when executing the ALTER DATABASE statement. As the error message, I recommend you login again and connect to the master database then run the statement again.
For more information, see: ALTER DATABASE (Windows Azure SQL Database)
If the error is still exist, the Microsoft support engineer will help to solve the problem from backend. Sometime delay might be expected. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Only minority of Itunes Library has been put on Itunes match.

I've just downloaded Itunes Match for my Mac, Iphone 4 and Ipad, and have it turned on on all devices, however only a small minority of my Library has gone to the Cloud, whereas preferably I'd like all of it due to limited space! Any ideas?

Hi,
Availability of your music on your iOS devices is not instantaneous.
You need to let match complete its scan of your iTunes library. This may take some time depending on the size of your library and the number of tracks that need to be uploaded.
