Memory on laptop getting low

I'm sorry I can't find an answer to my question. If there is a post somewhere that answers it, feel free to post the link.
My question is this: The memory on my iBook is getting dangerously low and it's the songs in iTunes that is taking up a good chunk of the space. How do I save memory on my laptop without deleting songs from my iPod? I'm not quite sure on the process of syncing manually and I'd like to keep all my songs.
I do own an external drive and have backed up all my music on it.
iBook dual USB 800 MHz Power PC G3   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   4th G iPod

You can either set the iPod to sync manually and then delete the songs from iTunes, which won't delete them from the iPod automatically when it's in this mode, or use the instructions in this article to move the iTunes library to the external drive.

  • Why do I keep getting low memory errors when opening files in Bridge CS4? (New computer running i7 2.40GHz, 12GB RAM)

    Just picked up a new computer which has a lot more RAM than my old computer bu I keep getting low memory errors. Never had this issue on my old computer, any ideas?

    Windows or Mac?  (If the former, I can't be of any help.)  Exact version of your OS?
    How much available disk space?  Do you have a separate hard drive for Photoshop's scratch file?

    iPads don't have a filesystem like a computer, Files of that nature must be associated with an App and reside inside that particular App's file space.  So the way to find them is to open the App that opens that file type and look in its file or document list for them.

  • X220 battery capacity getting lower with time (0.01 Wh per 2 days)

    I've noticed my 9cell battery max capacity reported by Power Manager gets lower each day. I don't remember if it started with designed 93 Wh, but it's now at 90.98Wh and was 90.99Wh 2 days ago. Laptop is in use every day and it is recharged every day.
    Is it more healthy to use battery or to connect it to AC when possible (battery inside)?

    Hi toncijukic!
    Yes, lithium-ion batteries lose capacity over time. To maximize the life of the battery, follow the advice in this knowledgebase article:

    Hello SUJOYMONDAL,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the computer is having a memory and brightness issue. I can do my best to help! I need you to clarify the issues, and please provide the following information:
    1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
    2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
    3. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
    Additionally, if the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore

  • I have an ipod touch but i don't have enough memory and 0I get an upgrade soon for my phone and i want the iphone but the thing is, can i have an ipod touch and an iphone on the same itunes account like can i use my money on my ipod account for my iphone

    Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account.  Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices.  You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

  • My phone seems to delete contacts and info when the battery gets low, is there a solution to this issue?!

    After the most recent update, I've noticed a couple MAJOR changes! 1) The battery life can barely make it through half the day. I have to keep charging it no matter how little I use it. I've even turned off apps running in the background, it didn't make much difference. And 2) When the battery gets really low, at the 10% mark, it deletes contacts and settings. I've lost so many contacts all of the sudden and I constantly have to restore my iPhone. It's so frustrating! And when the battery gets low, it also deletes my e-mail account to receive e-mails on the phone. I'm tired of having to constantly reset my phone carry a charger with me, it's not reliable any longer and I'm not sure why. Help??

    Here is some information on the applecare +:
    http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    It appears that you have to buy the applecare within 30 days of buying your phone - you said that your phone warranty is almost over, so when did you buy it??? That could be the explanation for the error.

  • I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution.  When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom.  How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?

    I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution.  When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom.  How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?  I have read other forums on burning HD DVD's but I do not see the option to turn the 8 pi into 40 pi the one forum recommended.  I want my DVD to be HD so I may sell these videos online for my business.  I can't sell them the low quality they are burning now.  Hopefully you can help me.  Thanks.

    Thank you for your reply.
    You cannot burn your high resolution video that you can view on your computer to an AVCHD on DVD disc
    that will replay through a regular DVD player. But players are marketed under a variety of names with
    different support opportunities. One manufacturer may call its product MultiMedia Player, media player, Blu-ray player,
    etc.The bottom line is the specifications for each of the players that are candidates for the playback of
    the AVCHD format on DVD disc or the format of interest.
    If you upload your HD (1920 x 1080) video to YouTube, YouTube converts the video to flash format, but it goes up as the HD video.
    But, beware. Look at the YouTube viewing setting when your uploaded video is playing back. The YouTube default is not
    HD. It might be 360p, 480p. If you have a 1080p video, then before the YouTube playback, you should be looking
    at the video with the YouTube 1080p HD setting for best viewing. That is a YouTube matter.
    Best results depend on you
    a. setting up the Premiere Elements project preset to match the properties of the source media. That means, if
    you have 1080p source, you (manually) or the project (automatically) set the project preset at
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR [email protected]
    or the PAL counterpart, depending on your region need.
    b. if you upload your video to YouTube using the Premiere Elements feature, there is a HD preset, but you cannot
    customize it.....if you need customization, then you can export your Timeline to a file...in this example
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or PAL counterpart
    and then customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset. In increase quality, you might look to increase
    the Bitrate under Advanced Button/Video Tab settings - without compromising the file size.
    Then you would upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    All of the above are factors that need looking into in order to determine the why for what you wrote
    I have published a shortened advertisement video to YouTube- say 5 minutes-
    and it is low quality
    Often SD video upscaled to HD can present poorly. But, you are dealing with a HD workflow so that should not be introduced into the matter. The setup of the project and
    the properties of the source video are important, but let us start with the above and rule in or out those considerations first.
    Thank you. As always, any clarification needed, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • Volume slowly gets lower, then just silence.

    Just got my FIOS installed yesterday. 2 of my boxes work fine, but the main living room one has sound issues.
    When I got home from work, the picture was fine, but there was no sound.
    Figuring maybe I cabled the sound cables wrong, I took out the audio cables from the TV to cable box, and reinserted them. I then rebooted the Verizon box, and after it rebooted, sound returned to normal. After about 20 minutes of watching TV, I noticed the sound was slowly getting lower. I turned the sound all the way up to see if perhaps I have mistakenly hit the volume on the remote, but the sound only went up marginally, even though I turned it to max volume. After about 5 minutes, the sound went away again completely.
    I repeated the first process to troubleshoot again, and got sound to work again. I only watched TV for 15 minutes, and had no issues. before turning TV off and going to bed last night.
    When I woke up this morning, I turned on the TV and sound was gone again. I again tried to remove and put audio cables back in, rebooted the box, but now sound will not return. I know the cables from TV to box are OK as they worked on the last cable box I had and they were working after the cable box reboot before the sound slowly died.
    Wasn't sure if I needed a new box? I did notice when the cable box was installed, it has a little bit of snow on it (from storm in Massachusetts) so I wasn't sure if maybe the water got in the box somehow and perhaps screwed with the volume piece.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    At work so not in front of it right now unfortunately so I'll have to try those steps when I get home.
    -I did confirm it happens on all channels as that was something i checked to make sure it just wasn't some random station. No volume to any station.
    - I did note that when i unhooked the audio cables and placed them back in, if I got a loud humming noise from the TV, that's when the resetting the box would resolve the volume issue. This morning I did not get any humming noise.
    -The TV settings showed normal when I looked this morning before work.
    I will try to see if I can get it work through TV rather than cable to resolve the issue as suggested. I will alos try the menu suggestions
    I may also switch the box with another one in my house to se if it is indeed a TV issue or a box issue.
    Thank you very much for your help
