Pictures take way more space today than yesterday

The other day I had an issue with my PC and had to change a few things with it. I had about 11k pics on my pad and it didnt take much space at all. The PC said its was about 3GB of data only, and the pod for the most part agreed on its end ( i understand it make thumbnails and such so the data sizes to bump up some). But today after the PC issue was resolved I re synced the pad and the same 3GB of pics now take up 35GB of data on the pad. I really dont see how it suddenly gained 30GB of data overnight because I had to uninstall and reinstall I Tunes. Any ideas or fixes that I failed to see?

Wow dude I have the EXACT same problem as you, same version, same iPod... Only things different is I SHOULD be able to update to 4.3.1 (haven't tried it yet) and it shows that 4.4GB is used up from Apps...
I havent added them up but it should be at LEAST under 4GB, the biggest app on there is ~540MB (Infinity Blade and I have two racing games which add up to ~1301MB(~1GB), From there it's just small apps like Angry Birds which range from 125MB(Highest)-as small as 2.5MB(Smallest)
So maybe there is a fault in our current versions? Will appreciate response asap

  • "Manually manage music and videos" takes up more space than syncing?

    Hello all,
    I fear that I am just stupid and unseeing an obvious answer to this query, but ask I shall, because it is frustrating me to no end.
    I recently downloaded a few audiobooks from my local library to listen to on my iPod Touch; the app in question requires that you "manually manage music and videos" rather than syncing. Fine.
    I switch over to iTunes, check the box, and now my music--without changing anything, mind--is now taking up an additional 1.8 (or more) gigs on my iPod. I toggle the option to "manually manage" on and off, and with it "on", my music takes up more space than with it "off", even though it's the same music, same podcasts.
    Can someone please explain to me why syncing manually takes up more space than syncing automatically and where the extra gigs are coming from? There's not that much audio on my iPod--1.52 gb of music, 1.97 gb of podcasts and .69 gb of apps--which only adds up to 4.18 gb, and on an 8g touch, should leave me with about 4 gb of "wiggle room", so to speak, rather than .27 gb.
    Help, please!

    iTunes will normally put just one copy of each file on the iPod and link it to multiple playlists. If your iPod's database has been corrupted at some point however, there may be unattached copies of your meadia from earlier sync attempts, taking up space on the drive, but not visible in the library. How much space does iTunes report for Other? Excluding files placed manually & intentionally on the iPod, "other" is typically an overhead of 1%-2% of the size of the media and represents the iPod database, artwork, games etc. If you have significantly larger amounts of "other" then you will need to restore your iPod in order to reclaim the space.

  • Movie files take up more space than they should

    Hi! I'm new to iDVD, and I wanted to take about 20 .mp4 files and put them on a DVD that a DVD player hooked to my TV will be able to read. The combined size of all the files is under 4GB and will fit on a burnable DVD. But when I drag them into iDVD, it only lets me have like 5 before it says it is full. Why is this happening? Why should the video take up more space than the file's actual size? If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it!

    iDVD works on time and NOT on RAW file size!!
    All video is converted to MPG-2 by the encoding process in iDVD. With a single layer disc, you can get UP TO 60 minutes of content in Best Performance mode and UP TO 120 minutes in Best Quality mode.

  • Why do songs from cds take up way more space on ipod?

    Everytime I try to upload a cd to my ipod it takes up way more space.  Can only fit a few cds on the shuffle.  Why?

    Well, an update has come from another forum and I thought I would post it here in case others stumble here in the future searching for an answer to the same question.
    Apparently,  the non-embedded artwork on the iPod is in an uncompressed format instead of JPG and therefore takes up more space.  Seems a bit odd, seeing as I am loading jpegs onto the iPod.  I can only presume the iPod decompresses them at some stage. 
    Cheers

  • My Mac mini won't recognize photo library in itunes so I can download pics from library and free up space in memory, I was able to download camera role but not photo library that takes up more space.

    My Mac mini won't recognize iphone 4 photo library in itunes so I can download pics from library and free up space in memory, I was able to download camera role but not photo library that takes up more space. Help thanks

    The photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Photos synced to your phone will have to be extracted from your phone using third-party software, if you want them on your computer, as Apple makes no provision to do so. Since you're using a Mac, you can use this:

  • Is music in multiple user account supposed to take up more space?

    I have two user accounts on my computer and I transferred all of my iTunes music to the second one so it could be accessible from both. But when I did it the memory space on my computer went down. Is this supposed to take up more space?

    Hi Bob,
    It will do because you have copied the folder to the other account thus doubling the amount of space your music files occupy; you have 2 copies of each song.
    If all you want to do is have access to the same iTunes library from multiple accounts on the same computer, the following Apple KB document will help you:

    I clicked on the firefox update & lost my old firefox page with my aol start & quick pick tool bar & this "new" page takes up more space so when I click on a different subject, I have LESS space to view it. . Why, WHY must you people always mess with things that were just fine. . I cannot eeven restore my computer to an earlier time, NOPE, won't do it. . So now what do I do ? ? Pete . . . God Bless . . . . I WANT MY PREVIOUS SETTINGS BACK ! ! ! ! !

    The problem is with the page that opens at startup?
    What does the new page look like? Can you paste the address into a reply?
    Or if it doesn't have an address, maybe it's a page created by an add-on. Can you see any indication of the source of the page? Perhaps you could post a screen shot of what it looks like. This article has tips on that (make sure to delete to cover anything confidential): [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
    To reduce content size, try the zoom feature: hold down the Ctrl key and tap the - key once or twice. If you want to reset the page to the standard size, you can hold down Ctrl and tap the 0 key once (zero).
    But really we should get you back to the page you prefer, and hopefully with the additional details I requested we will be able to figure out what needs to get changed so you can do that.

  • Footage takes up more space after clipwrap changes the codec

    I have mts files that need to be changed to .mov files so that they can be imported into fcp. I put a 32gb sdhc card into my mbp and convert the clips in clipward with a prores422 lt setting and save it to my lacie 1tb external hd and the files take up much more space than 32gb. I done about 4 1/2 cards worth that are all 32gb cards, so about 150 gb of footage and my 1tb lacie hd is full? Anybody have any ideas on this. When I select the clips using clipwrap I select the sd card then the private folder, then the avchd folder, then bdmv folder, then select the stream folder and it brings up all the clips in the stream folder and I convert them. The clips work fine but there taking up way too much space.

    When you purchase mo'betta drives, get them in pairs.
    One of the lovely things that comes with these "easy" tapeless formats, is now you must archive two copies of the original media as you no longer have a physical item (the tape) to put in a safe place as your backup.
    These days I'm using a simple voyager q bare drive adapter for archives. Drop in a drive, back things up, remove drive, drop in second drive, make second back up, remove drive and store pair on shelf, delete old stuff from scratch drive. Start new project. Rinse and repeat.

  • Taking picture takes way too long - as does downloading

    Camera in iphone now takes an incredible amount of time for the camera to get in ready position. After taking a photo (after waiting...) it takes even more time for it to return to ready mode. When syncing -- it is taking a long time as well. These issues have appeared recently but do not seem to be related to the number of photos on the iphone (have stored as many as 2,000).
    Several photos have been funky -- quadrants showing rather than single image.
    Advice needed. Will take in to genius bar at Apple Store next if no good solutions.
    Thank you.

    Try a reboot (described below).
    Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
    A reset/reboot is:
    Go to Home Screen
    Press and Hold Home Button
    Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
    Keep holding Both
    You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
    The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
    Keep Holding
    When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
    Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.

  • Backup failure: more space required than my HD's capacity!

    Hi, I'm trying to backup a macbook pro with 250gb capacity HD to an external drive with 270gb free space.
    Time Machine gives an error stating the backup is too large for the backup volume, requiring 339.3 GB.
    I do have a virtual machine but have instructed Time Machine not to back up my virtual disks.
    What's going on?!

    Your TM partition is much too small. The general rule is, it should have roughly 2-3 times as much space as the data it's backing-up, since it keeps previous copies of items you've deleted or changed. See item #1 of the Frequently Asked Questions post at the top of this forum for more details.
    Plus, TM needs free workspace (the "padding" in the message) on the destination (just as OSX does on it's boot volume). Thus the 295 GB of data (having already excluded 11.8 GB), plus 20% yields the 340 GB it needs.
    While you might be able to squeeze most of your data into that partition, TM's not going to work well or for long unless it has a lot more space.
    What else is on that drive? If you don't have backups of that, your best bet may be to get another, larger drive, big enough to back-up both your internal HD and the other data on the current drive.
    If that's not possible, you might be able to use a "clone," such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! in the existing partition, but even that would be very tight (295 GB in a 310 GB partition doesn't leave OSX much workspace), and anything changed or deleted in error, or corrupted, would be lost.

  • Why does indows takes up more space than it needs?

    This is the third computer I have installed Windows 7 on since using Bootcamp and for a second time I have run into a wierd glitch.
    After partitioning the internal drive with 65Gb for Windows, I installed Windows 7 and everything went smoothly as always, however.
    When checking the remaining space on C: in windows it says I only have 23Gb of space left. This means that the Windows installation alone has taken up 42Gb!!!!!! Why? This has happened before and I have not been able to find anyone else with the same problem.
    Should I reinstall windows?
    Using Macbook Pro Retina.

    Your math and the lack of details of how and why.  I and others here generally recommend a 48GB minimum for Windows 7 64-bit.
    If you don't control the page and hibernation file those alone can eat up twice your RAM or 16GB and up.
    The core of Windows can take 22GB.
    My systems generally use 34GB
    run disk cleanup: system files. The install leaves behind a 1.2GB file and then run CCleaner regularly. You can clean out 4GB afterwards.
    The partition needs about 10-12GB just for all the initial updates - Windows 7 is close to 3 yrs now and even SP1 was over a year ago. That temp space needs to be rhere and is just overhead 
    SSD will want 10GB for TRIM and Garbage Collection to perform properly.
    60GB even for an SSD is $1/GB, even less for standard drives.
    And then there are the people that need to use CampTune to resize their partition. Or someone that didn't plan and made it too small and cannot login after setup. Or didn't leave 20%/20GB or more for Mac HFS to function.

  • Music Taking Up way more Space than before.  What is the best file format?

    I just bought a new Mac Book, and have been importing most of my CD collection into I-tunes to put on my Ipod Video. The Default in iTunes seems to be import using AAC Encoder at a setting of High Quality 128kbps.
    However, I only have 2800 songs in my library at the moment andit is using 17 gb of Hard drive space on my computer and my Ipod. Also all songs came in as MP4 format.
    Before getting this new computer, I had the same amount of songs and it used about half of that.
    I have 3 questions.
    1.) What is the best format to cut the amount of space used, but still have a high quality sound.
    2.) Is there a way to convert what is in the library to another format such as mp3.
    3.) is this going to require me to save my Itunes folder to an external drive, delete the library,and then drag all back in to itunes after changing the preference setting? What is the best way to do this?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I only have 2800 songs in my library at the moment andit is using 17 gb of
    Maybe a bit high.
    I have ~2500 songs at 12 GB. I’m using 160 kbps - AAC.
    1.) What is the best format to cut the amount of space used, but still have a high quality sound.
    AAC - 128 kbps. This is the default for iTunes and offers a very good compromise between size and quality.
    To me, AAC 128 kbps is at least as good as MP3 160 kbps and the AAC would be 1/3 less the size.
    2.) Is there a way to convert what is in the library to another format such as mp3.
    Yeah, buit you don;t really want to do it that way as you will lose further quality.
    AAC is a lossy format and when you converted it the first time, you lose quality. If you reconvert that to MP3, you will lose further quality.
    3.) is this going to require me to save my Itunes folder to an external drive, delete the library,and then drag all back in to itunes after changing the preference setting?
    No.

  • Songs on iTunes take up more space than needed.

    I have all my songs on iTunes, but my 205 songs take up 4.20 GB.  This doesn't seem right.  I looked up about how many songs should be in a GB and it said it should be about 150 songs.  Why does mine take up this much space?

    205 songs taking 4.20GB does not make sense to me.
    I have 2067 songs and it takes 12.95GB.
    If you show columns Time, Bite Rate, Size and Kind you should see how much space each song takes.

  • If a video is in high definition, does it take up more space than it would in standard definition

    I have freed enough space to hold a standard definition version of the series that I want to buy, but I wanted to get the high defintion version, so I was wondering wether there is any difference.

    Yes, there is. High-Def is much bigger.
    If you had say something that was 1.5GB in Standard, it would be probably about 4GB in HD
