Music gone by upgrading but it still uses my space

So I have an old iPod Touch 4G (I know that it isn't that old) and for some reason it couldn't upgrade from iOS 3 to iOS 5 so I did it on a PC and it worked but my music got moved to another folder so I couldn't delete it so now I am missing over 2.7GB of space on my iPod.
Can anyone help me??

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings      
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:                                 
iOS: How to back up                                                                
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
Based on other users experiences, y will have to restore the iPod. Some music files got corrupted.

  • ITunes Music Folder Location changed, but iTunes still uses old location

    Okay - I'm getting a bit frustrated here. Because I had no room on c:, I moved all my iTunes preferences -- applications I downloaded for the iPod Touch, file settings, and all that stuff -- to my D:\ drive. Then I went to Preferences > Advanced and changed the iTunes Music Folder location to my D: drive.
    Everything SEEMED to have looked good. Or so I hoped.
    The 40+ applications I bought are no longer listed on the Applications purchased list. Further, all my files are STILL saving to the c: drive.
    How do I FORCE iTunes to acknowledge that the D:\ drive is storing my iTunes preferences and files?!

    OK, now I get what you're trying to do. I think!
    I run my ITL file off my exHD, so all my Artwork & Applications are stored there. I think if you try running your ITL file from the D: drive it will do what you want.
    Try this
    1) close itunes & wait for the library ITL file to save ( I assume it's still on C: hence that's why artwork/apps are DLing there)
    2) copy that ITL file over to the D: drive
    3) press and hold the shift key while starting itunes and choose the ITL file on D:
    Now all your future artwork/apps shoudl download to D:, try it by getting a free app.

  • I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) but the messages are still there.

    I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) with iTunes but the messages are still there. How can I get rid of these texts for good and have more space on my phone? 6.33 gb of other space is way too much, thats almost half of my overall available space (13.5 gb.) I don't want to reset my phone and lose all my other texts/ app progress/ photos. I do have backups, but when I restore from the backup the other space comes back along with everything else. What can I do to get rid of this other space and the 'deleted' text messages? (I'm running iOS 6.1.3 if that helps)

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

    Basically i need to either take it to a shop that can unlock i.e. £40.00
    Be aware, you go that route & every time you try to update or restore, it will error out, leaving your phone unusable. Not to mention, you void all warranty/support.
    Sell it & use the proceeds towards an officially unlocked iPhone bought directly from Apple.
    Good luck.

  • Do I need to assign a name to both my iphones? I just got an iPhone 5, BUT I still use my iPhone 3GS as a camera

    Do I need assign a name to both my iphones? I just got an iPhone 5, BUT I still use my iPhone 3GS as a camera & iPod, and will need to back it up and sync it occassionally, I have NOT named either phone yet, they are recognized only as "owner's iphone".
    NOTE: I HAVE A P.C.
    Is there any danger of not naming them, and itunes confusing them, and gathering wrong backup info, etc.
    ALSO....Does turning the volume all the way down silence all phone sounds? In other words before I sleep, do I need to click that little switch on the left side of the phone to achieve complete silence, if so, is there an INTERNAL way to do this so I don't have to push my finger in there through my otter box case to turn it off.?
    I have AT&T on my iPhone 5, and I was wondering if there was a way to save my voicemails permanently somewhere, because they get erased by AT&T every 14 days.
    ALSO.....How do I manage my 20,000 photos, in "my pictures" in my PC, shall I have one folder which has ALL of photos ALL OF THEM.........In sequence and then create dozens of other folders by event, catagory, etc. I get SO CONFUSED on what to do with my photos, what is THE BEST WAY to keep them organized.

  • I want to by a new Mac Book Pro, but I still use Creative Suite CS6. Is it still working?

    I want to by a new Mac Book pro with Yosemite, but I still use Creative Suite CS6 and I don´t want to update it to CC. So it is very important for me to know if CS6 is working on Yoemite. I rode that After Effects and Photoshop are fine, but what is with Indesign CS6, Illutrator CS6 and all the other Programms. Please let me know if it is possible?
    Thanks

    CS6 apps are supported on Yosemite, but if you buy a retina display model you will not be happy with some of the apps such as InDesign which are not optimized for that display.

  • I have bought the Revel Premium upgrade but it still tells me I have not signed up

    I paid to upgrade to Revel Premium but when I try to upload pictures it tells me I am over my limit and need to upgrade to Premium. So I have tried to resign up and it tells me I have already signed up.  What have I got to do to make this take effect?

    I did this upgrade some time ago and it is still giving me the same message as of this moment.

  • Upgraded Java, CF still using older version - how?

    This server is Win2008 fully patched, IIS 7.0 in good shape - CF 9.0  no patches installed - which we obviously want to fix. When we tried to install patches, we got this:
    To try and resolve this, our first mistake was installing Java version 8 (1.8) - which we-now-know doesn't work with 9.0.  What I'm not following is why CF settings reports still using 1.6. From what I've read and can see in java.config, it's storing/accessing its own JRE in CF directories. 2 questions: 1) How can I access the security settings for this JRE so I can get patches installed 2) If not possible, am I right in thinking we have to uninstall 8, reinstall the server version of 6 (1.6), point CF at the server version of Java so we can change the security settings (with restarts at the proper places) so we can start getting security patches installed? Any alterations to those steps?
    Once I get to patch 4 we'll be upgrading to Java 7 - does CF 9.01 fully patched work with Java 1.8? I see Java 7 is due to expire April 2015.

    Coldfusion uses its own version of java by default. You can, however, change this to use the version installed on the server when you download it off of the internet. Here is a blog post about this process - How to change/upgrade JDK version of ColdFusion server — Adobe ColdFusion Blog.
    Note as well just because a new version of Java is installed doesnt mean that the old version is gone. Major java revisions dont upgrade, like .NET it just installs the different version. Sometimes when you install Java 7 or 8 it will leave the old legacy versions which the browser will still try and use. Usually, after the Java install is done, it asks if you want to remove the outdated versions. You can use the official Java uninstall tool to scan for old versions and remove them for you - Java Uninstall Tool
    Coldfusion 9 wont support anything higher then Java 7. Java 8 has only just been made available to the most recent version of Coldfusion in the last 6 months or so. Like Java 7 soon, Coldfusion 9 is end of life and support for it stopped last year.
    Finally, you don't need Java to update CF9. Java is used for the browse dialogues to find the files. If you have already downloaded the hotfix jars, just copy and paste the path & file name in to the Update File box and click Submit Changes. This will do the same thing and install the hotfix.

  • [Solved]Fail to use wired connection, but can still use wireless.

    I had suspected the problem to be related to a recent package update from any time between 6/2 to 6/5, though the problem only started yesterday(6/6 in my time zone). I have already tried downgrading internet related packages that has recent upgrades, but the problem is still there. So I need help. What information do I need to provide to help pin-point what is causing this problem?

    But I still hope someone can help me in understanding what to look for when such situations happen again. What data I should gather to help other's get information about my problem.
    By the way, I'm quite sure it is not a cable problem, because the windows in the same machine can link onto the net when arch was still unable to link onto the net. During the entire day, I refreshed the package database, and the only update was vim. So what could have caused the problem to fix itself again?

  • My iPhone has a large amount of capacity used by other as shown in iTunes when sync.  I can't determine where 4.3 GB of other is from.  Even eliminating all of the categories of music, movies and the like it still uses 4.3 GB for other?

    My iPhone has developed a large amount of "other" as shown on how the capacity is used when sync in iTunes.  Even eliminating songs, ovies and all other sync items it still uses 4.3 GB of other.  This is a relativily new development.  How can I determine the cause and free up this capacity?

    Other includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, app data, Safari cache, cookies and bookmarks, stored passwords, search index, home screen organization, wi-fi network data, etc.  But is should be around 1 GB; 4.3 GB is an indication that something is corrupt and you will have to restore your phone to correct it.
    Before restoring, be sure to import all your photos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or Google, or to a supported program such as Outlook or mac Address Book, or using an app like My Contacts Backup) as contacts are not fully backed up in the iPhone backup.  Once this is done, follow this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414, being careful to back up your phone at step 6.  At the end of the process your phone will restart and you will go through the setup screens; during this setup, when given the option choose to Restore from iTunes Backup and restore from the backup you made earlier.  Then connect to iTunes and see how large "Other" is.  If it's still that large, then the corrupt data was contained in the backup you restored from and you will have no choice except to repeat the process, but this time restore your phone as a new iPhone.

  • How can i remove videos and music that are not on my ipad mini but are still taking up space and are showing that they are there even after i've deleted them?

    how can i remove videos and music that have been deleted from the ipad but are still showing in settings as still being on the ipad?

    I believe that I have the same issue with iPad Mini with Retina Display, iOS 8.1. No matter which way I delete videos from my iPad, they will still show as "deleted", yet the space is not cleared up. I tried restore and then a full restore (clean setup as a new iPad) and it still does this to me. I can solve it by doing a restore each and every time I download a video and delete it. Rather frustrating. Has been a problem since day 1 of iOS 8. I'm yet to try the power+home button reset. It may very well work, but I am surprised that a "fresh setup" of an iPad didn't resolve it from ever occurring.

  • How do I change firefox from letting bridge open downloads by default? I tried the firefox settings but it still uses bridge as the main default?

    How do I change Photoshop Bridge from being the default on downloads? I have tried the right click...to other programs and it's still opens as bridge...I also changes the settings in firefox but it still opens the download box with bridge.which won't let me unzip the files.?

    You need to set the other browser as the default browser and disable that in Firefox to make Firefox not ask that.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General : System Defaults : "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup"
    *Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
    *Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.

  • For some reason is all my music gone from iTunes, but I do still have the songs on my iPod Touch... So my problem is that I don't know how to import my files from iPod Touch back to iTunes.

    Hey all
    I should export my music to another program, because I do also have this MP4, which needs some files. Well, I did that and it seems like Windows Media Player couldn't open the files, but then I go back to iTunes and I see all my files are gone. Nothing is left, and now I can't syncronize files to my iPod Touch without deleting all the existing files. So now the only thing I want to know, if it's possible, is how to import music (not from Apple Store) from my iPod Touch to iTunes?

    You can use one of the third-party programs discussed here to transfer non-iTunes purchased music to a computer.
