My "storage" says I have 48 gigs of audio, but I only have 33 gigs of music stored?

Topic

Because I took exactly 33 gigs off of my external hard drive and put into Itunes. Itunes also reads 33 gigs. But the "storage" section on "about my mac" is reading 48.

    When I try to update my iTunes, it tells me that I have the latest version, but I only have 10.6.3 - how can I override this?

    I'm sorry but your post seems vague as to exactly what version of what you are running, therefore, it comes as a surprise that you mention that "it" won't let you update iTunes. Did you run Software Update or try updating from within iTunes?
    If you are running a Mac under Mac OS X 10.6.3, then if you should be able to update that by using System Update to version 10.6.8 - first and foremost.
    Then, assuming you can run Mac OS X 10.6.8; I would think that you can (secondarily) update iTunes to Version 10.7 or Ver. 11.0.5.; IMHO 10.7 is better as it has Coverflow. Nonetheless...

  • My computer says that I have 3 monitors connected but I only have 2 connected.

    Windows 8 is saying that I have 3 monitors connected but I only connected 2. If recognizes a 3rd monitor that is really small and I don't know why. I have my 2nd monitor setup to be an extention of the 1st one and if I move my mouse all the way to the end
    of the 2nd monitor my mouse is able to move off screen. I'm assuming this is because the computer detects the 3rd monitor to be there but like I said I only own 2 monitors and have only 2 connected. This is very annoying because sometimes things get placed
    on the 3rd monitor and I can't move them to the other monitors because I can't see how to move it because I only connected 2 monitors and for some reason windows detects another even though there is nothing there. I just recently installed a new graphics card
    and before it I didn't have one and my VGA and DVI cables connected to the ports that came on the mother board. When I had it setup like that it was fine but ever since I installed the graphics card it detects 3 monitors when I only want to use 2.

    Hi,
    Did this issue occur before?
    Try to remove all unnecessary hardware, and use Win+P to change screen input option.
    If the issue persists, try to create another administrator account and login for test.

  • My iphone says that i have 7GB of photos, but i only have 172 photos, ***? how can i keep my 7GB without restoring my phone?

    i need help, i dont understand why it says that i have 7GB when i actually only have 172 photos.

    File corruption happens ... perhaps from apps, etc.
    Why wouldn't you simply restore your iPhone?
    If you elect to do that, you would use iTunes (current version 11.0.1), plug your iPhone in, sync it, and choose "Restore" from the iPhone's summary panel on the right.
    A restore like this may or may not solve the issue (it likely would).  If it doesn't, you would restore as new (instead of restoring from the backup) and then manually sync the iPhone.

  • The Appstore say Page 5.0 is downloaded, but I only have Pages 4.0

    I can not open any of my documents in the icloud with Pages 4.3, the version that I put the documents in icloud in the first place. It says that I need a newer version of Pages; Pages 5.0. However, when I go to the Appstore, it says that Pages has no updates and that Pages 5.0 is already installed. Why is this happening? And is it worth the struggle?
    I asked this question before but my question was removed and I was unable to view all the answers I recieved, because apple said it was off topic. So this is attempt two.

    Hello there cortleyann,
    It sounds like you have Pages 5.0 installed but your documents keep trying to open with the previous version, 4.3. You can tell the operating system what program to open your pages documents with, and this article will show you how:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Choose an app to open a document
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11329
    Permanently change the document’s app
    Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
    In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
    Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app.
    If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved?

    Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved to it?

    If it's really a couple dozen pictures, I would expect it should be under 100 MB.
    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the used space is still so high.

  • My 3gs won't take pics. It says it's full and to delete pics/vids, but I only have 30 pics and I've had tripple that plus vids and it took pics fine. How can I get my camera working again?

    My 3gs won't take pics. It says it's full and to delete pics/vids, but I only have 30 pics and I've had tripple that plus vids and it took pics fine. How can I get my camera working again?

    The number of pictures/videos on the device is irrelevant.  If there is not available space on the device, there is no way to take pictures.  Pictures, videos, music, iBooks, and any other media share the same space.
    Might be a good idea to manage the content on the device going forward so that there is always space available.
    Try not to fall into the misconception that many others experience, believing that the iPhone is a storage device, it simply is not.  Instead it is intended to be a mirror of the content on the computer.

  • Apple id says my gmail address is already used by another id but I only have one.  I'm trying to change my apple id to my gmail.address

    I want to change my apple ID to my gmail address to use with FaceTime.  I went to appleid.apple.com and signed into my account.  I don't see anyway 'edit' to change my email address.
    When I tried to use it as my alternate, I get the message saying that email is not available because it is being used by another apple ID, but I only have the one.

    Simply update your old AppleID.

  • Trying to install update 8.1.3, my iPad says I need 1.5 gb but I actually have 17.1 gb. Why will it not let me install?

    Trying to install update 8.1.3, my iPad says I need 1.5 gb but I actually have 17.1 gb. Why will it not let me install?

    It's probably telling you that you need 1.5 more GB than you have available. Hook up your device to iTunes on the computer you sync with and do the update from there. OTA updates require a lot more memory than ones done via iTunes.

  • My IPhone 5c duplicates my music and says I have 8gb of pictures when I only have 200 of them, what's happening?

    All of my albums are super long because there are duplicates of each song. Plus in my memory it says that I have 5 gb left and that i have 8gb of pictures when I only have 200. I already did a soft and hard reset and it keeps on happening. Help!

    Set it up as new device and restore from the backup again, explained here:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Are you using the HD feature if you are taking photos? If yes, HD photos are using more space on your phone, try to use the default settings for the photo quality.

  • ITunes says I have 22.217 gb when I only have 1,252 songs why?

    So iTunes says that I have 22.217 gb when I only have 1,252 songs. Why? I just got a nano after having problems with two last year and when I try to sync my music it says that I have too many songs and not enough space for my 1,252 songs. It's a 16gb nano and I should be using only 4.5 or 5 gb. Why is it saying that I have more music than I really do? I'm taking it back if Apple can't help.

    Your problem is you are ripping your CDs in AIFF, as large as you can get. They will sound great but you will get far less of them on your Nano. Apple computes their estimate of the number of songs you will get on a device based on a 128 AAC song of 4 minutes length, which will be about 4.5Mb in size. With your AIFF songs that are 10 times that size you will only get about 1/10th as many songs.

  • When listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

    Using my ipod nano -when listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • HT3180 My Apple Tv says to plug it into iTunes, but i dont have the cord

    My Apple Tv says to plug it into iTunes, but i dont have the cord to plug it into my computer is their any other way?

    You need to restore it. If it doesn't work on our current computer, try borrowing someone else's. If your iPhone is jailbroken then you are pretty much screwed. Also, you should try putting it in DFU, which would restore it thoroughly. Follow these steps:
    Plug your device into your computer
    Turn off the device by holding the Sleep/Wake or Power button and swiping it off
    Hold the power button for 3 seconds
    Begin holding the Home button without releasing the Sleep/Power button for 10 seconds
    Release the power button and continue holding the home button until you get a popup from iTunes that your device is recognized as being in recovery mode.
