Newbie. Using Mac. I synced without deleting podcasts. My first sync

I have been able to delete one at a time 12 min Adobe Creative Suite podcasts by Terry White. If i could get more than one deleted I would have space in my IPOD Touch 32. I feel so dumb. My first sync. I took so long setting up mail I am afraid to reset everything or restore I think the correct term
Since I filled up my ipod with all these podcasts and extra music which I had not double checked each album for duplicates, childrens stuff I don't need. What can I do to keep using this IPOD touch. It gave me the message no more syncing on podcasts as ipod full. I learned how to delete. When I found the message. Delete some movies. Any help appreciated. I have spent so many hours self teaching.
Also besides the thourough manual, any suggestions on IPOD Touch books to help one get acquainted. I have actually learned alot by accident. Like finding the delete command by dragging the screen open. I hate to bother. Please advise. 65 in San Diego and having a ball even if did screw up.

Thank you for speedy help. Trouble is, I highlighted a folder of video podcasts and copied them and attempted to drag to desktop folder named: podcastarchivedate> trouble is nothing drags. so being as i have had dislecsia of drag and drop as I was a former Windows copy paste person. I tried paste . nothing goes. spent a long time and give up for now.
I asked Apple tech supprt why I culdn't burn a copy of my purchases on my laptop to add to my Library. He said I had to first put a cd or dvd in the slot then give command. the command in itunes for backing up to CD/DVD is greyed out. He said it was because I didin't have a cd in for burning. I don;t use Apple's burn folders. Have problems so I use Toast 6, which I also have problems sometimes dragging and dropping. I will try burning these movies on Toast in am when not so frustrated. I will let you know if I have better luck later. Please send any other advise. I must be doing something wrong. It seems so easy to make a folder and put something in it. I am a big Photoghop/Lightroom user and it has been my biggest hurdle. There must be something different in folder creation and file movement on Macs that I just keep doing wrong. I can't type on these new Apple keyboards. I need one like the original. Any advice

  • How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

    Hey Guys
    I need a bit of help.
    My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
    I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
    How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
    I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
    I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
    I particularly don't want to do this.
    My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.

  • 2 MACs - Can I use .mac to sync POP emails from MAIL when traveling

    I use Yahoo Business (POP) email with the MAC MAIL software. I use a PowerBook G4 at home and just got a new iBook G4 for travel. I want to set up the travel computer and MAIL to receive and send mail while on the road. 2 Questions:
    1) In a perfect world: I want to sync the emails (both sent and received) I worked with on the road with my home computer so I don't have to re-do the work I just did on the road. Can I use .mac to sync my mailbox folders before downloading the messages at home or will this corrupt the library file and make me rebuild my folders every time? I know I can set up the MAIL account to leave the received message on the server for my home computer to download, but this causes a lot more work!
    2) If (1) is not possible, how can I capture the files I sent on the road to my home computer SENT folder? I save all sent messages at home.

    Via the .Mac website, you can have .Mac check the POP account's incoming mail server to download received messages from the POP account to your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox.
    In the interim, send a change of email address to all contacts providing your .Mac email address and start sending messages with your .Mac account.
    When creating a .Mac account in Mail - Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages are stored on the server by default along with received messages. If you want to keep all these mailboxes/messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, make sure these settings for the account are the same with Mail on both Macs.

  • Ipod - using Mac for music & PC for podcasts

    Hi, I have an ipod 30 - love it.
    I'd like to use my mac for music updates and PC for podcasts.
    WHY would I want to do this?
    1. My mac is a G3 10.2.8 and it rejects the majority of video podcasts - my local mac shop says "yes, that is common."
    2. I like having my music on the MAC as it is portable - the PC is a desktop. (plus the mac looks cool in the loungeroom.)
    So I formatted my ipod for PC - uploaded all my PC podcasts (successfully) and then moved to my mac to get my music (successfully).
    PROBLEM
    When I go back to my PC to get Podcast updates, it asks if it can wipe all my music. i can't find the option to just update podcasts.
    Any thoughts?
    ipod 30 - G3 mac Mac OS X (10.2.x)

    Surprise Surprise . It worked!
    I simply re visited the same process (see above)
    and it worked.
    TIPS: When Windows asks to be the Music library, say NO - it will then up date your podcasts.
    NOTE: when you update your music on the MAC, it will wipe your podcasts - simply return to the PC and upload podcasts.
    cheers,

  • No signal to VGA monitor using Mac mini display to VGA adaptor and first time boot Mac mini

    Just unpacked Mac mini and powered up using Mac mini to VGA display adaptor and VGA monitor. There is no signal to the monitor ( power is on).
    How to see the display?

    [    13.093] (==) No Layout section.  Using the first Screen section.
    [    13.093] (==) No screen section available. Using defaults.
    [    13.093] (**) |-->Screen "Default Screen Section" (0)
    [    13.093] (**) |   |-->Monitor "<default monitor>"
    [    13.093] (==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section".
            Using a default monitor configuration.
    First step would be to create the necessary entries (easier to make a complete xorg.conf versus xorg.conf.d/##-whatever.conf).
    All Desktop Environments / Window Managers rely on X.  Man pages are helpful, possibly some headaches ahead as I fought a dual-monitor display this way.
    I currently run a xrandr script to switch displays on my hp pavilion: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr#Scripts

  • Reinstalling Mac OS X without deleting my Windows partion?!

    Is it possible to do a fresh install of Mac OS X with out me having to delete my Windows partion?
    iMac 24" 2.33 C2D 2GB RAM 500GB HDD nVidia 7600GT   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Reinstalling Mac OS X through any method will not delete the Windows partition or any data on it. It will only be erased if the Boot Camp Assistant is used to return the hard disk to a single partition setup, or if the Disk Utility is used to erase that partition or repartition the whole drive, or if Terminal commands are used to erase and repartition the drive.

  • How can I reformat my Mac OS partition without deleting my bootcamp Windows?

    Hi all, I recently feel that my mac OSX - Snow leopard I pressume, version 10.6.8 is running a tad slower than it previous does. Hence I'm thinking about reformatting it. However, as I have booted Windows in a separate partition, I've no clue on how to do a clean reformat without removing windows. I believe it should be pretty simple but I'm clueless about such IT tech matters so I appreciate any help and advice that comes along!

    You don't need to do anything special but should make a backup first.

  • Using .mac to sync iPodTouch

    The iPodTouch is one of the best pieces of Mac hardware I've ever owned and the software upgrade is good. The one thing missing for me is to be able to sync with my .mac account, especially to get the calendar synced up right. I work in several places with wifi access and if this was possible life would be easier.

    Provide apple with feedback.

  • How can i download a movie onto a ipad mini that is not set up using my apple id without deleting everything on the ipad?

    I have a Ipad mini that is set up on another Apple ID that is different than mine. I wish to know if it is possible for me to downlaod a movie onto it without having to remove everything off it.

    I had the same question as was asked here, and I see that if I turn off my Wi-Fi on my iPad I can no longer access the iTunes Extras. However, if the extras are streaming-based, why is the file size of movies with Extras so much larger than those without? Any other HD movie with a similar running time is between 1.5 and 2.5GB, all with Extras are between 3.5 and 5GB. The problem isn't the Extras, its the lack of space on my iPad.

  • Unable to install new version of app without deleting old one first

    When I get a new version of an app from my developers (with ad-hoc provisioning), if I just drag it to iTunes and then try to sync with my phone, the app does not make it over. Itunes/iphone dont realize that the new version needs to be installed. I am forced to delete the app from the phone first, and THEN doing the sync. This works, but of course this method loses all the the app data each time.
    Is it possible to upgrade an iphone app in-place while preserving the old data? If so, how?
    Also, I find that I have to delete the app from itunes as well before dragging the new version in . Otherwise the old version gets installed again on the phone.
    Thanks in advance
    Jay

    This may be something unique with the ad-hoc provisioning used by your developers since the same is not required when installing an app update via the iTunes app store.

  • Formating second partition as GUID without deleting data on first?

    hi!
    I'm trying to "restore" the .dmg image of leopard on my external USB-drive. I managed to generate a second partition on my external drive (10GB) but could not format it to GUID (so that I can start up from it).
    Question:
    Is it really not possible to simply format the second partition as GUID while leaving the first partition completely untouched? The only option I could find deletes ALL data from the external disk which is clearly not what I intend to do.
    Have I missed something? Are there alternatives to using the disk utility?
    Thanks a lot!

    AFAIK, the GUID or GPS applies to a complete disk not a partition.
    Partitions are things like NTFS, HFS+ and so on. These can be different on disk, but I am quite sure that the APS or GPS applies to the low level structure of the drive and perhaps the boot area and applies to the entire drive.

  • Can i delete outlook on mac book without deleting it on another computer

    Can I delete Outlook on mac book pro without deleting it on another computer on which I also have Outlook loaded?

    Not a dumb question at all...and it is always easier to ask first instead of fixing things later.
    As long as you only remove the account from your local Mail application you are fine.

  • Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences

    So, in my FCP7 projects, the Boris 3D text editing window won't open without deleting FCP preferences first. I've tried new projects, old projects, open all new windows on top settings. Once I delete the preferences, viola, opens right up. I can rebuild my preferences and after just a few days it won't open again... without preference delete.
    I'm on a Macbook Pro 17'" i7 and do most of my editing on a 27" Apple Cinema Display. This is the only reason I could come up with. However I did some editing from the Macbook's screen and after 1 day, the Boris 3D editing window again refused to open. I have no idea. Is this is a known bug, etc.?
    Help!

    With Final Cut not running, trash the Boris Title 3D preference file.
    /Library/Preferences/Title 3D Preferences
    Also, you could have a corrupt or duplicate font file. Open FontBook and check it out.
