My drive information says my available capacity is larger than the capacity. How can this be?
This morning I checked the capacity information on my hard drive. To my surprise, my available storage, is larger than the capacity. How can this be?
Try going to "About this Mac" at the top of the Apple menu, click "More Info" and then "System Report" and check "Serial ATA" and then select the drive. It should tell you the capacity and how much is used.
Don't know what to say about your "Get Info" information!
Regards,
Clinton

I have an iphone 4s and when I try to connect to my shared library I see an icon of a circle that only becomes half full. It does not connect. I also have an ipad, which connects without incident. My itunes library is larger than the capacity of both devices, so that cannot be the issue. How can I get the phone to connect with my shared library?
My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?

Time machine claiming my backup is larger than the capacity of my computer
I have a Macbook, Version 10.5.8. It crashed in July but I had everything on a WD Passport external backup. Once I transferred the backup to my computer after Apple replaced the hard drive, every time I have tried to back up, time machine is unable to backup to my WD Passport because it says the backup is too large for my volume. My WD Passport's available capacity (when erased) is 111.7. The capacity of my Mac HD is 148.73 GB but I have only used 125.45 GB. In my options in time machine, I have reduced my backup to only 111.7 GB so it will fit on my external, but when I try to back up, it says the backup requires 134.1 GB and only 111.7 are available. What is going on? Where is this extra data coming from (especially when I haven't even used as much as the backup claims it requires)?
I know that my WD Passport has a smaller capacity than what I have used on my Mac HD, but even when I previously attempted to back up my entire computer, time machine claimed that the backup required 150 GB when only 111.7 were available. Basically, time machine is consistently saying that there is an extra 20 or so GBs that need to be backed up, when I have no idea where this is coming from.Hi, and welcome to the forums.
See the pink box in #C4 of [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). -
How to manage an iTunes library larger than the capacity of my iPod?
I have a 40G iPOD and now my iTunes library is larger than that. When I last synched, iTunes automatically created an iPod list. I'm unclear on how the subset of songs was selected. When I add new music, do I have to manually move things in and out of this playlist, or is there some more clever trick?
If the library is larger than the iPod, it simply selects at random, enough songs to fit.
Here's a better way to do it yourself.
Create a new Smart Playlist.
Match rule My rating does not equal one star.
Limit to 37.5 GB (or whatever) of songs at random.
Songs you don't like rate them one star and they will not get put on the iPod or will get removed next time you sync.
Open iTunes prefs and set to Auto update only selected playlists and select this new playlist.
Also, any songs you do not want to go onto the iPod at all, uncheck them. I do this for podcasts, Christmas songs and such.
When you want to change the songs, simply select this playlist in iTunes, select all the songs and press delete.
It will empty and then fill up again based on the criteria above.
Then connect the iPod and resync it.
This is how I do it as I have ~12 GB of songs and 4 GB iPods. -

Bought and downloaded an album from Itunes. Now when I play it on my Ipod the last three songs are cut short. Itunes says all songs are downloaded, no incomplete downloads. How can this be fixed?
Hi..
Try re downloading ...
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
When I try to download this I get a message that says I haven't got sufficient space on my startup disk. I have checked my available space on the disc and I have only 3GB free out of 500. I have hardly anything on my mac - how can this be?
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located. -
iTunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved? What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?
Many people have the same problem. However, there is little or nothing readily available to users. This problem has existed for two or more years. Does anyone have anything to offer about this disturbing problem?Thanks for the suggestion kcell. I've tried both versions
9.0.115 and 9.0.124 and both fail with the policy permission error.
I also tried with and without your crossdomain.xml file but
with the same result. It looks like this file is intended for URL
policy, instead of socket policy. Recently Adobe separated the two.
When I run with the files installed on my dev PC, it does
work, which makes sense because the flash player isn't loaded from
an unknown domain.
I did get one step closer. If a crossdomain.xml in the server
root exists and the socketpolicy file is loaded from the app folder
then the first two warnings disappear. The logs now show:
OK: Root-level SWF loaded:
https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf
OK: Policy file accepted: https://192.168.2.5/crossdomain.xml
OK: Policy file accepted:
https://192.168.2.5/trunk/socketpolicy.xml
Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:843 (at 3
seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not
cause any problems, but see
http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files
for an explanation.
Warning: [strict] Ignoring policy file with incorrect syntax:
xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993 by
requestor from https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf is denied due to
lack of policy file permissions.
Which basically says, everything is okay, but you stay out
anyway.
PS: I found the XML schema files here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_02.html
and the socket policy schema:
http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd.
UPDATE: When serving up the policy file on port 843 using the
example perl script then the socket connection seems to be accepted
and the connect succeeds. After that flex hangs trying to logon to
the IMAP server. -
I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and it says updates available but when i download the updates it says updates failed please try again later, i have tried a few times and get the same message any help would be great i am running 64bit on windows 8.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and have the same problem. My hard drive crashed, installed a new one and then reinstalled CS5 extended. Installation went fine, but can no longer open my camera RAW files from Photoshop (camera is a Canon EOS T2i. The message also tells me I am not eligible for the update. I am... and I cannot open my files and I could before. I can find nowhere to contact Adobe to tell me how to proceed. My daughter is all a registered user of the same product and she had no problems upgrading... we purchased ours each at the same time. I do know the difference is that I had to reinstall and she did not. If that means anything.

I tried several times to download pages that I already pay for and it says that there was an error in the installation , what can I do
- Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
- Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading.
- Third party download managers can cause problems when downloading apps.
I see v10.7.4 in your profile but make absolutely sure that's correct because the minimum requirements for Pages is v10.7.4 according to the Pages Information panel at the App Store.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. -
It appears windows hacker has locked my hard drive as readonly how can this be disabled?
It appears windows hacker has locked my hard drive as readonly how can this be disabled?
Sorry about the delay; I have called Apple Care sr advisors and spent 3 over 200 hrs explaining the problems to which they always recommend I exchange the Mac with a new one. This is my 5th Mac mini in less than 2 months. Many of the problems are not directly related to windows issues however (in my uneducated opinion should not be happening)Here are the unexplained issues:
1. The sr advisors have been remotely connected to the machine and each one said I was setup on a server;
2. My uid has been replaced with a windows uid (s-18-0-0-1 or sim);
3. All the root certificates seem to be either fraudulent or modified to allow access to root account from remote locations;
4. Apache server is active;
5. WebDAV is configured as well as SQL services;
6. Every newly exchanged Mac mini has iLife uninstalled prior to any updates being installed;
7. Mac updates have warning messages indicating they are not signed properly, "contact software manufacture for more information", apple has no answer to this;
8. Although I have never claimed (nor do I ever want to be computer program literate), I have been plagued by the same issues on Windows PC, Linux and now OS X. My main purpose for needing a secure computer is to write a resume and find employment. In 3 years I have been unable to do either. My data is always Either locked after as read only or is accessible on a URL only.
9. I know this one will only classify me as an insane maniac but It appears as though I am connected to the Internet via an ipv6 udp connection even though my ISP doesn't support ip6 and all GUIs indicate all connections are inactive. This is typical no matter geographical location ie:Denver, San Deigo, Seattle, Boise et al) -

I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck. -
