My iPod insists that I have no more free space when I have 10 gigs left. Help?

After a whole slew of problems with iTunes today, including trying to get me to reset my iPod to its factory setting, getting the 42408, and it trying to delete all my apps, I am now faced with the problem of it telling me I am going over my itunes limit by 8 gigs. Now, this wouldn't be a problem if I were syncing a bunch of albums, but the only thing I have added to itunes recently is Queen's The Game (and no, it does not take up 10 gigs), and it is the only thing I am trying to sync. Like the title says, I still have 10 gigs of free space left, but even after reseting my computer twice, it still insists I am going over. I have no idea what to do, any help?

In the colored bargraph of storage usage in iTunes, what is listed for the various categories?

  • Blocks have much more free space specified by pctfree moved off freelist.

    We have a table with pctfree=0 and pctused=90 and experienced high session against it. During the high session, we saw lots of "read by other session", cbc chain, and "buffer busy wait" caused by the same sql (INESRT). The row size of of an average 4K with long raw. After got the block info for the "read by other session" and "buffer busy wait", I dumped the block. The strange thing is that all the of blocks dumped are not in the freelist and the available free space is over 1K.
    My idea is: When the session named waiting_a experienced "read by other session" to find the block to insert data, that block must be in the freelist, otherwise the waiting_a wouldn't try to read it in buffer and wouldn't be waiting for it to be ready. Very shortly other session reading_b which was reading the block put the data in buffer and did the insert operation, and the reading_b completed its work of insert. My dump should be after reading_b completed. So the dumped block should contain the data inserted by reading_b. After that the block was got off from freelist.
    But why blocks with 0x520 (1312)and 0x104c (4172) freespace got off from freelist? As pctuse is 90, a block will be got off from freelist when free space is less than 10% of the block size, and these two blocks have much more freespace.

    knowing Oracle specifically warns against using multiple blocksizes
    Nope.  Oracle does not warn against using multiple blocksizes, anywhere in the documentation.
    The only warnings I've seen (By Daniel Morgan, and unverified) claims that Oracle was negligent and only tested the SQL optimizer with an 8k blocksize.
    I'm not sure that this is true, since it would constitute misfeasance.
    I know that Oracle does extensive tesing on their new features, and the docs offer the multiple blocksize feature without reservation.
    Uisng multiple blocksizes is a well established, proven concept.
    DBA's have been using them for decades with IMS, IDMS and DB2 before Oracle came along.
    I first saw multiple blocksized used with great success in the 1980's, and they are still in use today on many large databases.
    provide a measurable idea what 'lots' constitute, and how much I/O is reduced in the shops you saw?There is load of verifiable evidence out there:
    http://www.google.com/search?&q=site%3Awww.tpc.org+db_16k_cache_size
    This UNISYS Oracle benchmark used multiple blocksizes to achieve optimal performance
    db_cache_size = 4000M
    db_recycle_cache_size = 500M
    db_8k_cache_size = 200M
    db_16k_cache_size = 4056M
    db_2k_cache_size = 35430M
    http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP100883
    The IBM Oracle Technical Brief titled "Oracle Architecture and Tuning on AIX" (November 2006) notes that careful evaluation is required before implementing multiple blocksizes:
    While most customers only use the default database block size, it is possible to use up to 5 different database block sizes for different objects within the same database.
    Having multiple database block sizes adds administrative complexity and (if poorly designed and implemented) can have adverse performance consequences. Therefore, using multiple block sizes should only be done after careful planning and performance evaluation.

  • I am trying to use boot camp but it keeps saying i have less than 10 gbs of free space when i have 20, How do i fix this?

    My computer shows i have 24 gigs(image 1)but, it wont let me do the boot camp because it says i hve less than 10(image 2).

    buy a bigger hard drive.
    you can't take away so much from Mac volume as to leave it with less than 20%/20GB and have a functional OS.
    And you can't install Windows 7 with just 24GB.
    you can't use free space that is fragmented and not contiguous.
    you would have to get a larger SSD - OWC Macsales has SSD for the Air - or off load as much as possible to free up an add'l 40GB, at a minimum.
    SSDs need free space of their own to function and allow for degradation, provisioning, garbage collection.
    You have what OX Lion needs, maybe, but none to spare for another OS.
    You might be able to run Windows in a VM like VirtualBox or Parallels and try to "get away" with it, but not natively.

  • Several encrypted .dmg files show much more free space that the total size of the file.

    I have several encrypted .dmg files on my macbook air running OS X 10.10.1  I have had them for years with no problems. Now suddenly, in the finder, at the bottom of the finder window where it shows the number of items and free space for a disk, it shows more free space than the full size of the .dmg file. Typically it will show about 200MB for a 100 MB file. Obviously, this is a bug, but I can find no information or discussions about it anywhere.
    Does anyone have the same problem? Any ideas how to fix it?

    Thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
    I rebuilt the spotlight index as suggested.
    I tried it twice, rebooting the computer a couple of time along the way.
    Below you can see the actual file as it occurs in the finder in its unopened form.
    Now, below here is what the finder reports at the bottom of the finder window when the file is opened and added as a virtual disk.
    Note that the total file size is 102.5 Mb
    Yet the finder says it has 234.5 Mb free!
    The actual size of the files on the disk add up to about 60 Mb
    This occurs with several similar dmg files.
    Any other ideas or experiences would be appreciated.

  • My HD icon on the desktop is showing far more free space than I actually have.

    I use a 2011 17" MBP with OS X Lion (750GB HD, 8GB RAM, 2.2GHz i7) and have noticed recently (only since I bought the new OS) that the Hard Drive icon on my desktop shows far more free space available than I know I have. It shows 488GB free of 497GB (with 250GB on a partition for Windows 7 Enterprise) and I know I have about 250-300GB worth of stuff. I've checked several times to ensure it's still there and all my files still work so it doesn't seem to be deleting things randomly. I just want to know if it's a calculation bug or if there's something else wrong. Thanks for any help in advance!

    In case anyone reads this wondering if there's a solution, there is: turn off automatic time machine backups, and restart your computer. It turns out I had about 80GB worth of data stacking up between physical backups to external HDs. Apparently it counts as free space because it can be over-written when necessary, hence an elated free space count.
    I also did a disk repair on the partition which OS X is on, which fixed some "minor logging issues" but I don't think that made a difference because nothing happened until I cleared the backup cache by turning off time machine. By the way, once I turned off time machine my HD free space sky-rocketed to 576GB of 497GB which freaked me out but don't worry, this is fixed once you restart.

  • My iPad free space was shrinking.  Previously I did an iOS upgrade and got more free space so I tried a restore and the same thing happened.  Do I have a setting wrong?

    My iPad free space was shrinking.  Previously I did an iOS upgrade and got more free space so I tried a restore and the same thing happened.  Do I have a setting wrong?  There was a significant change from 4.3 GB to now 10.2 GB.  I still have all the same apps, photos, songs, etc.  So what's up?  Why does my space not recover after I delete things?

    This is what I did to resolve the issue.  First I did a simple Reset (Home and on/off until the Apple logo appears) and it didn't help.  Then I did a Restore with a reload from the backup and that also accomplished nothing.  Then, I did a Restore as new with NO reload from backup and that resolved my issue.
    IF you choose to try the same thing, here are some cautions.  Make absolutely certain that all apps, music, movies, etc. are present in the iTunes library.  Also make absolutely certain that all "regular" data, such as pdf files, Word files, etc. are present and accessible somewhere on the computer's hard drive.  Be aware that you will probably lose all game data (scores, etc.).  I did not investigate a solution for that because I don't play many games and I really don't care about the game history.  Finally, be forewarned that it is a bit tedius recreating all your folders and putting each app where you want it.

    This message could refer to the Windows drivers which can be on an USB drive you create or a Windows installation ISO on a USB drive
    From the manual
    You can download the Windows support software and copy a Windows 7 ISO image to a USB flash drive.
