Making more room on my Ipod
I have removed a bunch of thing on my ipods playlist but it does not seem to be making more space. What do I need to do to free up space.
thanks
Removing songs from a playlist doesn't free up space, playlists are just links to songs. They need to be deleted from the iPod's Music library: Deleting songs or playlists from your iPod

How can I make more room on my ipod to put more songs on it
My ipod is running out of room to put more songs on it and I have a 4GB ipod and I only have 488 songs. How can I make more room on my ipod fore more songs?
Delete other content from it or restore it. Note that if the songs are encoded at a bitrate higher than 128Kbps or longer than 4 minutes, the iPod won't hold as many as advertised.

Making more room on my hard drive
I have just installed an external hard drive to my G4 Cube. I want to reinstall iTunes because I have been having problems with the updated versions, but I cannot because it says it has to be installed on the startup drive...of which I only have about 4.5GB remaining. What can I do to gain more disk room to reinstall?
Thanks
PS, I am a novice when it comes to Mac computers. I am much better with the "other" OS. . . so I will need step by step instructions so I don't demolish this G4 Cube
cube g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)Thanks for the replies.
I had an enormous amount (approx 1500) of photos on this hard drive, of which I have sent to the external hard drive, then deleted from the startup drive. However, it seems as though the space that these photos took up was not replaced. At least I cannot see an improved increase in the disk space listed on the start up drive.
Is there a way to definitely check this?
Thanks for any help.
#2 question: Is there a scaled down version of iTunes that can be installed. I just want to be able to listen to the internet radio listings and don't need all the other features. The upgrade to 7.0 caused the sound to be muted. I want to replace the upgrade with the older version.
Suggestions?

How can I make more room on external drive for Time Machine?
I now have Time Machine installed and in use on my external drive, which also still has my previous backup on it which used a different system (Dejavu). The external drive's capacity is 74 GB; 58.22GB are used, my iMac hard drive (backed up with TIme Machine) has 38.12 GB used, which by my calculation means about 20GB of the 58 on the external drive are the prior backup. Is there a way I can erase this prior backup, which now duplicates Time Machine, thereby making more room for Time Machine in the future? For instance, if need be, can I erase the whole thing and reinstall Time Machine on it? Thanks!
James, if you open your TM drive, I'm guessing you see the usual System, Library, Users, and Applications folder along with a folder labeled something like Backup.bkup. (I'm away from a TM backup and I can't exactly recall the name of the TM backup folder.)
The DejaVu backup is just a standard file backup using 'rsync' so you can delete whatever you want by simply dragging it to the trash and emptying the trash. If the drive is bootable, you may not want to lose that ability. But assuming there's nothing in your user folder on that backup that isn't also on your computer, you can delete just about everything in your User folder on that drive. You can delete selected applications too. And if you don't mind losing the ability to boot, you can drag everything but the TM backup folder. -
I can not seem to add any more songs to my ipod. Normally i just click and drag songs i have highlighted in my itunes folders up to the Administrators' ipod and it puts a copy there in my ipod. however i keep getting a message saying there is not enough room . . . and so can't add another song. I have deleted heaps of songs off my ipod to ensure sufficient room for these new songs i want to load but i keep failing - why would that be? Is the space not freeing up when i delete exiting music off my ipod for some reason - or any other reason?
Try rebooting your iPod with it still connected to iTunes. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
How exactly are you deleting this tracks from the iPod?

ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?
In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum. -
Hey, I've been having this problem for a while. Whenever I try to add a new app that's relatively large, or a new video at all, iTunes says there's not enough room on my iPod. Most recently, this happened when adding a video. Said video is 1.05 GB. iTunes says I have 1.21 GB of storage available on my iPod. Is there a reason for this, or is it just bad luck on my part?
Thanks,

I told the guy I was not willing to give up my unlimited plan AND pay full price for the phone, I thanked him for his time and we left.
Here is my advice, at least. Not sure if anyone will agree, but it is my take on the problem.
With the Edge program, there is a "possibility" that someone will pay full price for a phone. This is not always the case, though. IF you do not complete ALL of the 24 months of payments, then you WILL NOT have paid full price for the phone, but simply a portion of the full price. THAT is why it does not make the plan "eligible" to keep your unlimited data. With the Edge plan, technically you only have to pay 50% of the full price before you can trade it in for another phone on the Edge plan. The way the plan is designed, the majority of people WILL NOT ever pay full price for the phone, but only a portion of the full price before they exchange their phone for a new device. That is what Verizon is hoping for, at least.
As Ann154 has pointed out, you can use the Device Payment Plan and keep your unlimited data. At no time during your contract can you trade THAT phone in to get another phone. You would have to continue making the payments on THAT phone along with any other phone you upgraded to. THAT is the difference between the 2 plans. You WILL end up paying full price for the phone on the Device Payment Plan, where you can STOP making payments on a phone with the Edge Plan if you turn it in for another device.
Good luck. -
More of a Buying iPod Classic question...
I am in the market for a new iPod since my 8GB Nano is filled and i have more music that I want to add to it.
Although the iPod Touch is neat, I need more room and was considering an 80 or 160 GB Classic.
I went on ebay and found tons of them...only they were cheap as heck. Are these legit? Or chinese knock offs?
Anyone know?
Thanks!Don't go with the 5g... Yes the classic is buggy right now, but apple will fix it, you know them. With the new one you get:
Full metal (more durable and scratch resistant front)
Glass screen (read this on a review, maybe apple insider, not confirmed though)
Bigger hard drive for cheaper price
New UI/Cover flow
Support for the future games when apple pulls the ones for the 5g out of the store -
How do i make more GB on my ipod
how do I make more room for GB on my ipod
You can compress the music on the iPod so each song takes up less storage. In the Summary pane for the iPod is iTunes there is a check box that says "Convert higher bitrate songs to XX kbps ACC. 128 is a good compromise on storage space and music quality.

How do I make more storage on my iPod?
How do I make more room in the "other" section of my storage? I want to rent a movie and they keep saying I don'y have enough room to download it. I checked iTunes and the most packed section of my storage is the 'other' catagory. How do I clear it?
Bear in mind that the amount may well be normal. If it's truly too much, a Restore will help.
From your computer's iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes." -
Upgrading computer for more capacity for 80G iPod - Averting trouble
I have a wonderful 80G video iPod (and a mini)and thankfully no problems. But I have an old Dell Inspiron 600m with a 30G Hard drive and only 512 Mb of memory. Its slow and I'm afraid to load much more into iTunes or the computer in general (I still have lots of room on the iPod) such as videos and movies. But I don't want to get a new laptop with Vista and I've heard that converting from a PC to a Mac once you've configured your iPod on one system doesn't work well. So my new idea is to add more memory and maybe get a bigger hard drive. Question is what impact might this have on iTunes and the iPod? How can I transfer everything I have on iTunes to either a new external hard drive or a new internal hard drive? In this case, is one better than the other? Will the iPod/iTunes accept this and see it as authorized? Am I better off not changing anything?

Hello, This is my first post.
Can someone advise me on the best course of action? My Mini keeps telling me that I need more room on my startup disk. What should I do?
I keep deleating files (podcasts, pictures, etc.) but it does it again within a few more days. This is also making my mini slow down. I thought about getting an external hard drive, but was not sure if that would take care of the problem.
Any Suggestions?

My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.
Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

How do I create more room on my MacBook Pro so I can install Snow Leopard?
I've only got 4.something GB left and it says it needs 5 GB?
Which then begs the question, will I be able to do anything with the computer.
I think I need to get some stuff off, but do not know where to look up what is taking up the most room.
I have an extra hard drive.
I have iDisk.
I have a Time Machine, but it backs up one of my three Macs.
Thanks.A utility like GrandPerspective is a good one for seeing what is taking up space on your hard drive.
Video and photo files tend to take up a lot of room.
