Ok, yet another problem with my mini...frusterating much?

Alright, I have an iPod mini, it is a 4 Gig Ipod mini, said to hold up to a thousand songs or so. Mine currently is holding 438 songs. My itunes on the other hand has 703 songs, and only holds up to 3.69 gigs. Which leaves me with a fair bit of room I would think. I am hesitant to use the restore to factory settings thing and erase everything since i have had such trouble with that in the past. My ipod says there is not enough free space to hold all those songs and furthermore I have lost quite a few off of my mini. I don't know what I should do and how to go about it! Any help would be wonderful. Thanks.

No in actual fact its about 449, I went and restored my ipod, and that's pretty bad if they advertise it for 4 gigs and only give you 3.7 gigs. But in any case it has held up to 703 in the past, which is how many I have in my library at the moment. But it just spent about six hours updating and hasn't moved which I don't understand. Should I restore it again? I don't know what else to do, I can get rid of some of my songs, but I wouldn't like too, there is enough space for all my fav's. So I'm at a loss of what to do. Help? Also, when I was having trouble before it did this as well, but I don't know how I fixed it, it was quite a few months ago. I keep getting this error that says " disk cannot be read from or written too" does that have something to do with my usb port?

  • After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

  • Is this yet another problem with 7.5 or is it just me . . .

    Upgrade seemed to be fine, at first . . . now I keep getting distortion on songs. It seems to be quite random and just because a song has been distorted when I've listened to it once doesn't mean it will be when I listen to it again! It's driving me insane. Is this yet another bug or have I done something wrong (apart from upgrading to 7.5).

    Hi Emlou,
    If you have a Windows based operating system such as XP -
    It seems to me that you are suffering what I am having the same problem with - the program takes up to much of your computer's processing usage. If you go into your task manager and watch performance as ITunes runs - you will see how much of the total computer usage it is taking at any given moment - that's why your songs are distorted, slowing, garbled, etc - the usage on mine spikes from 11% - 93% AT ANY GIVEN MINUTE! I have no idea why, but I have found that by going to your "Control Panel" and clicking on Quicktime you can adjust audio output to help. Click the audio tab, click Safe Mode Wavout only (checkbox) / Then adjust the "Rate" to 96kHz / Then adjust the "Size" to 16 bit. Close that and shut down and restart Itunes - it might help a little for you.
    Maybe someone out there can help us find out why we are suffering with all the CPU usage trouble and how to adjust that spiking.
    Thanks!

  • [yet another] problem with proxy

    On my PC, sometimes I am connected directly to the Internet and sometimes via VPN. In the latter case, all Internet traffic goes via http/https/socks proxy. In either of these situations Skype works well, but...
    The is a problem when I disconnect from VPN, that is:
    1. I am connected directly to the Internet
    2. Skype is working well
    4. I connect to VPN 
    5. Bang...Skype gets disconnected and does not manage to re-connect
    6. I re-start Skype and everything is OK (that is, Skype starts working via proxy)
    Funny thing is, that in the opposite direction (when I start Skype while connected to VPN and than disconnect the VPN tunnel), Skype manages to detect this (probably because the VPN network interface goes down) and re-connects automatically. However, it cannot re-connect automatically when VPN tunnel is established. 

    finally ive got some one suffering in same problem.

  • Another problem with SOAP sender

    I have another problem with SOAP scenario in a different environment (PI 7.0) from my earlier post.
    Scenario:
    Soap Sender -> PI -> Soap Receiver
    Following steps from GoogleSearch SOAP scenario in the SAP How-to Guide for SAP NetWeaver '04 entitled: "How To... Use the XI 3.0 SOAP Adapter" version 1.00 - March 2006.
    I have loaded in the api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl file as an External definition and created the SOAP receiver as described in the How-to guide.  It takes a doGoogleSearch as input and sends back a doGoogleSearchResponse (Sync Call). 
    Note that the GoogleSearch.wsdl contains a complex type ResultElementArray that refers to ResultElement\[\], and a DirectoryCategoryArray that refers to DirectoryCategory\[\].  The ResultElement and DirectoryCategory types are defined in the GoogleSearch.wsdl file.
    Problem One:
    The generated WSDL for the SOAP sender contains the ResultElementArray and DirectoryCategoryArray types but it DOES NOT contain the required ResultElement and DirectoryCategory types.  XML Spy complains that this WSDL is not valid because the type ResultElement\[\] is not defined.
    Problem Two:
    I generate a SOAP message in XML Spy, provide values for the doGoogleSearch fields, and send.  In SXMB_MONI, the SOAP sender payload contains only the <key> value from the doGoogleSearch message body, i.e. <part name="key" type="xsd:string" />
    The other doGoogleSearch fields seem to be missing, i.e.
      <part name="q" type="xsd:string" />
      <part name="start" type="xsd:int" />
      <part name="maxResults" type="xsd:int" />
      <part name="filter" type="xsd:boolean" />
      <part name="restrict" type="xsd:string" />
      <part name="safeSearch" type="xsd:boolean" />
      <part name="lr" type="xsd:string" />
      <part name="ie" type="xsd:string" />
      <part name="oe" type="xsd:string" />
    Does anyone know why:
    (1) PI/XI seems to leave out the ResultElement and DirectoryCategory types from the SOAP sender service WSDL file?
    (2) The doGoogleSearch message seen in SXMB_MONI contains only the first <key> field, and not the other fields?

  • Aduio problems with the mini!  help!

    I have serious audio problems with my Mini right now -- Please Help!
    When I play iTunes, iPod, etc. I hear very bad static, and start and stops; like its an audio feed from the radio, a scratchy audo feed, that pauses.
    At first i thought it was the old speakers that i run through the old display; but I plugged in Bose headphones to the mini itself and got the same bad, sound. this just started, can anybody help? thanks.

    Check your Audio/MIDI Setup, making sure that your audio out settings are for 44.100khz, 2ch-16bit. I've seen some apps that arbitrarily change it to 1ch-8bit, which can cause the poor sound you're describing.

  • Having a common yet unfounded problem with

    Hello
    Having a common yet unfounded problem with my trackpad, or is it?
    First, The trackpad has always worked just fine on my iBook Dual USB 800 MHz, like most folks I use a mouse when I am on the laptop, so i trried to use the trackpad the other day and I noticed 2 things...
    It wasnt functioning and the trackpad feature was missing from system prefs mouse and key board (running OS X10.4.11)
    so I haven't used my trackpad in months, i try to test it and piff! nothing...
    there is one final point, hours before i chose to tes tthis the book took a tumble on its right front corner, so naturally this could be a if not the contributing factor?
    any ideas?

    Did you unplug the mouse when you tried to use the trackpad? If not, I would suggest that you try that.
    If the trackpad doesn't work when no mouse is plugged in, you may want to try resetting the PMU.
    The PMU (Power Management Unit) controls trackpad function, so resetting it often helps when the trackpad isn't working (or isn't working right).
    If the trackpad still doesn't work after resetting the PMU, chances are the fall may have something to do with the trackpad not working. If you're lucky, it may just be that its plug has jiggled loose from its connection. Detailed instructions on plugging it back in can be found in this comprehensive post by Michael Baker:

  • Yet again another problem with Firefox Beta and Hotmail

    So, I think the new version of firefox 4.XXX does not like hotmail or vice versa. When in hotmail and composing a new message, I cannot add attachments at all. I once again verified that I had this ability in the most current version of Firefox and in Safari. Everything works fine. Did the usual junk, dumped my cache, etc. And I am still having a problem with the calendar not loading. I use to work in IT in a support function and I can clearly tell you that the new browser does not like Windows Live/ Hotmail, whatever you want to call it. It is broken, so please fix this because I like the new browser other than the hotmail issues.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''

  • Incompatibility problems with mac mini MA206LL/A* and linksys WRT610N

    i purchased a new wrt610n and one of the machines that is connected is a mac mini, 1.66 ghz intel core duo.
    #ma2066/ll/a for those who want to compare notes. the computer is stock with the 802.11g wireless card that came with the machine. it is running the current software and all the updates are up to date.
    i am using wpa 2 personal w / aes
    their is some kind of incompatibility or issue between the wrt610n and the mac mini.
    either using the wireless connection OR connected directly to the router, web pages are very slow to load. sometimes it can take up to 45 seconds for the mac mini to open up a webpage. for 45 seconds it is at 'contacting website'
    when i try to run software update, i get a time out error -1001, make sure you can connect to the internet and try again.
    hulu desktop is also running slow.
    copying a file from the mac mini to a another computer over wifi averages about 1 mb/s
    when i informed linksys about this problem, they took my phone number and said that a linksys Technician / senior tech support employee would call me back. that was a day or so ago. i asked if i can have any newer firmware, considering the latest is 5 months old.
    i am considering returning this router, but i don't see a lot of good alternatives that have similar features. i have 21 days to return this. the restocking fee will be 15% i am also considering various 802.11n solutions for the mac mini, even including the dell 1500 wireless mini card, i heard it works as an airport card.
    if i do get a different model router i would like external antennas.
    my previous router was a 5 year old wrt54gs version 2.0, and it never had a problem with any of the computers with the network.
    the trouble shooting steps involved changing the beacon to 75 and the mtu to something else, i forgot. it did not make a difference.
    i moved the mini and connected it wired to the wrt610 and turned off the airport wireless card and there was no improvement.
    when i disconnected the wrt610n and connected the mac mini directly to my dsl modem. the issues were suddenly gone.
    theres some kind of problem with this particular unit. and i would like to hear from others who have solved this or are experiencing the same problem

    Just out of curiosity: what internet provider do you have? I'm just asking since I had similar issues after switching from AT&T DSL to AT&T U-verse. Sometimes pages took a very long time to load, or just a part or image of the page. Sometimes I would get a page not found error or something like this and only refreshing the page several times would retrieve and display the actual page.
    Here's what I did: I went into my iMac's network preferences and switched the DNS server IP with one from OpenDNS.com, such as 208.67.222.222.
    Since then I haven't had these issues anymore. Don't ask me why though; but I would be curious to hear whether this may fix your issue as well!

  • (Another) Problem with HP Photosmart - reinstallation

    I have a Photosmart C5280 All-in-One and a MacBook Pro, with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, using Mac OS X 10.4.11.
    Scenario this morning:
    The printer will photocopy, but there is no connection between the printer and the computer, it is not a problem with the usb cable connection. The computer will not send anything to the printer to print, and the scanner will not end anything to the computer.
    I repaired permissions using disk utility at least three times this morning. (I do it fairly often anyway).
    Scenario now:
    I have now uninstalled the software, using the HP uninstall programme, but then deleted the remaining items manually as instructed in the section on the HP site for Macs and uninstallation. I have also emptied the trash.
    Sadly however, it has made absolutely no difference. Whenever I put the installation disk into the CD drive, I can only get as far as identifying the printer. There are no printers listed, and when I tick the box, it comes up with Photosmart C5200 Series, which is correct. But the next continue box is then greyed out. (I'm wondering if following the HP instructions was such a good idea now).
    I am now stuck. I have uninstalled and can not reinstall. I have used these two together for the past year (or more) without any problems. When I initially installed, it worked fine. No problems at all. I have not recently changed any software or upgraded anything on the OS. The two were communicating last week, when I did some scanning and printing.
    Confession: I had the first problem (no scanning/printing) a couple of weeks ago, and decided to look in trash to see if I had mistakenly got rid of something and found an hp file in there. Pulled it back out. All worked fine again. But today, total blip, and no hp files in trash.
    I would be grateful if anyone could suggest a solution. I'm capable of following instructions. Oh, I have mailed Hp, but I've had no response so far. I have also looked through the stuff on here, but haven't found a similar problem, ie the connection just disappears into the ether.

    I had a response from HP:
    1) Was the printer powered on? It needs to be turned on.
    2) Was the USB plugged directly from the back on the printer to the Mac? You are not using a hub, airport or a USB cable more than 10 feet long?
    3) Power cycle the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer. Wait 10-15 seconds and reconnect the cord. Power on the printer. Was it found?
    4) If not, restart the Mac. Once you are back up, if the HP setup Assistant does not automatically launch you can launch it by clicking on Hard Drive > Applications > Hewlett-Packard > Utilities or Device Utilities > HP Setup Assistant. Double click to launch. Was it found?
    5) If not, plug the USB cable into a different port on the computer. Was it found?
    6) If the printer is still not found, check the system profiler for the device. Click on the Blue Apple in the upper left corner, then About this Mac. On the next screen click on More Info. On the System Profiler screen, click on USB under Hardware. On the right is the printer found under USB device tree?
    7) Another thing we need to check is when you installed the software did you select the correct device. The newer printer software may contain multiple products. If you did not select the correct device during the install, the computer is looking for a different device and not finding it. To check this, run the HP uninstaller. Open Hard Drive> Applications > Hewlett-Packard > HP Uninstaller. When you get to uninstall selected device, what printer is listed. If it is not you model series, run the uninstaller. Quit the uninstaller when complete, disconnect the USB cable and restart. When you back to the desktop, empty the trash, and reinstall the software. Wait for the option to select your device!
    I want to be sure the troubleshooting steps I provided resolve the issue. If the issue continues, please reply to this message with the results. We will be glad to assist you further.
    It was not unreasonable, but I had checked the box that said Intermediate (level of computer knowledge) - so I thought asking me if the printer was turned on/checking the ports/ etc etc was a little basic.
    However on browsing this forum for similar probs I noticed a reference to Printer Setup Repair (it may have been one of your suggestions BDAqua to a different problem) so downloaded it for a free trial. Although I regularly verify and repair permissions with disk utility, I tried with Printer Setup Repair, and got this message:

    11 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. Certain files and directories are deleted when using the Reset Printing System option. These files and directories, if required, will be recreated during normal printing.
    That message would explain why, the last time I had a problem, it was resolved with reinstalling OS X. What I don't understand is why a file suddenly disappears? Perhaps I need to move my queries to one about OS X? (I have OS X on my other Apple and no probs there.)
    Anyway, thank you for your responses and if you have any further advice or suggestions, I would be happy to hear.
