Memory on my Ipod is being taken without me knowing what it is being used for. Help...

I had 1.5 gigs left on my iPod when I connected it to my computer. After a short while of syncing it said that I had no memory left. All of my free space was said to be taken up by "Other" memory and I can't find out what is taking that memory. This has happened to me 3 times in a row now. How do I find out what is taking the memory and/or how do I delete it so I have free space?

This indicates corrupt files.  A restore should resolve.

  • HT4848 Is it possible to partition an external hard drive that is already being used for Time Machine backups without it being erased?

    I'm want to use my current external hard drive, which I use for Time Machine Backup, as a recovery disk for Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2. From what I have read, the recovery disk assistant will erase all data on the external drive unless it is partitioned. Can I partition my current backup drive without erasing it, even though it is already being used for Time Machine?

    It's very simple to test.  Turn off your computer.  Have your time machine backup plugged in.  Hold option and turn it on, keeping option held.  Do you see your time machine drive?  If so, select it and press enter. You'll end up in recovery.  If it works, there you go.  Then just click the apple and restart to get back to your regular desktop.  Then you'll know for when you're ready to do the deed.
    Edit...
    I'm not sure if time machine will think it's an entirely different computer, though, when a hard drive changed, making an actual restore not doable.  Either way, you could still reinstall mt lion fresh and then just migrate after, skipping the need for SL.

  • ATV3 - setup without HDMI.  One available is being used for cable box.

    What is the best way to hook up my new Apple TV3.  Just arrived and can't believe I have to wait and figure this out.
    I do not have a HDMI slot available.  Our TV has one HDMI slot that is being used for our cable. 
    What are the best options ot look at to get this all to work? 
    Potential options include
    1.  Splitting HDMI (if this works and is possible).  Best way to do this?
    2.  Switching my cable over to component (not sure I want to do this). 
    3.  What else?
    Many thanks

    Switching your cable box to component video (NOT "composite") is an outstanding idea. You will also have to connect audio cables between your STB and TV. As long as the analog hole remains available, you will not notice any loss of quality compared to the HDMI connection. Just configure your cable box to output 1080i or 720p all the time, whatever is appropriate for your TV. In fact, I have a Sony TV that emits loud pops when changing channels while the cable box is hooked up to it via HDMI, but it's nice and silent when using the analog connections.

  • My apple ID is now being used for facetime on a new mac. I have no new mac

    Hello
    My apple ID is now being used for facetime on a new mac. I have no new mac

    If you recently did an upgrade to Yosemite (and if my memory is correct) you may have signed into FaceTime (without using it) as part of the upgrade.

  • Received notification that Your Apple ID is being used for iCloud on a device that I do not know

    I have received notification that my Apple ID is being used for iCloud's on a new iPod touch. I do not recognize the device. This is the 2nd notice the first time I changed our password. How do we remove this device.

    Change the password without using email authentication as discussed here: Apple ID: Changing your password in case the other person has access to your email account.  If you aren't able to do that, contact the Apple account security team for assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

  • My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up.  It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for.

    My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up.  It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for. It has been working fine for years.  All of a sudden I keep getting a message that TC (time capsule) cannot complete back up as it is already in use.  I am doing the backups automatically through Time Capsule.

    Restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting and reconnecting the power adapter. When it's back online, open the AirPort Utility application and check to see whether there's a firmware update for it.

  • How do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full

    how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!

    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.

  • I keep getting a message about my phone number being used for iMessage on a new iPhone. How can I see what devices are using my iMessage account and phone number?

    The message "Your phone number is now being used for imessage on a new iPhone" Keeps appearing on my macbook pro. It also says "If you just activated iMessage on a new iPhone, you can ignore this alert." But the only option is to ignore the alert, because the only thing I can do with it is click "ok" and dismiss it. Is there a way I can look at a list of the devices using my iMessage account, and if there are devices that I don't recognize on that list, how can I block them from using my account?

    Hi If you have another Apple  device check on that screen & accept. Cheers Brian

  • Fairly new battery not charging after not being used for a while

    My computer (Elitebook 2530p) has not been used for a while, perhaps a month or two. The battery used to hold for over 3 hours of light use.
    Now, the battery won't charge with the message "0% available (plugged in, not charging)"
    I can't find a battery refresh utility in the BIOS, or any way to interact with the battery. Is there something I'm missing? Should the battery just go dead after not being used for a while?
    Update: fixed typo

    I've run the HP battery check and got the code REOOW. Battery is dead, and I am out of warranty. I can't think of any possible reason why this should have happened.
    What does this code (REOOW) mean?

  • In itunes, my ipod shows six gigabytes of "other" and i have no idea what that space is used for.

    In itunes, my ipod shows six gigabytes of "other" and i have no idea what that space is used for.

    Other usually contains app data and other miscellanious items. However 6GB is awfully big so it's likely been corrupted. I would restore.

  • HT5878 how to check the detail of font being used for reading the file received by an email

    I received word file as an attachment with email on my iphone. I want to check the detail on font being used for reading the word file received as attachment in an email.
    Thanks

    You don't need to copy the cert out of your configuration. OpenSSL has an "s_client" subcommand which can open an SSL connection and verify the cert for you. It even knows how to do STARTTLS. Something like this ought to do it:
    openssl s_client -starttls smtp -CAfile /path/to/ca/file -connect your.ironport:25
    The /path/to/ca/file is necessary to provide openssl with a cache of root CA certs. You could use -CApath instead of -CAfile if you have a hashed directory of root CA certs instead of a single file containing them all.
    You can also point this at your partner's SMTP server as well.

  • IllegalStateException:output stream is already being used for this request

    How to read binary data in JSP. I know, in servlets it can be done and JSP can handle only character data. When i try to open res.getOutputStream(), it is throwing the following exception:"IllegalStateException:output stream is already being used for this request". Is there any workaround in JSP?

    Can you save the file to a location in your server ? Even if you are creating a dynamic image, all you get is a byte array which can be stored in your server. If you can do so, you can set the content type and display the content as mentioned above.
