Question About iPod Space

I have an 8GB iPod Touch.
It says I have only 7.27GB available. I assume that this is because of the applications etc. taking up space.
There's the "Other" section. What exactly is the Other and how do I minimize the amount of space it takes up?

You are correct the programs and settings take up some of the 8Gb and you can't actually use all 8Gb.
I know there is a disclaimer about it somewhere and basically it says that the 8Gb claim is only an approximation and so on.
The "Other" section is where things like the new apps would be stored.

Question about iPod Notes

First of all, let me say that I'm not very 'techie' so if this is a stupid or naive question...please bear with me.
My question is about iPod notes. It says you can only put plain text files in the notes folder, and yet it does not display the note in plain text (I believe the display's font is Helvetica). It also wraps earlier than at 80 characters like a .txt file should.
So basically...the note never looks the same on TextEdit (or whatever) as it does when you view it to your iPod.
I have been making a few eBooks to read on my iPod and -- just to make them look neater -- I would like to do a few things like centering titles, adding dividing lines, etc.
So I was hoping somebody could tell me how to set TextEdit (or whatever) so that a note will look the same on it as it does when viewed on the iPod so that I can edit the file. --Like, what is the exact font and size of the text on the iPod display and where does it wrap exactly (I figure it must wrap according to the size of the window, since a variable number of characters can go on a line w/ non-equal-spaced type).
Also...I figure that the file I edit would have to be a .rtf since the display is not in plain text, yet it says you can only put plain text files in the iPod notes folder. So...I suppose I would have to convert the file from .rtf to .txt before putting it into my notes folder...or can you put rtf. files in there after all?
Anyways...any help anybody out there can give me with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!

It says you can only put plain text files in the notes folder, and yet it does not display the note in plain text (I believe the display's font is Helvetica).
Plain text means it does not have any special coding/characters in it such as Bold or Underscores or page breaks.
Plain text docs do not store anything except text. It does not specify a font. That is taken care of by whatever app you are using.
I suppose I would have to convert the file from .rtf to .txt before putting it into my notes folder...or can you put rtf. files in there after all?
You can put rtf in the Notes folder but the iPod will ignore any of the formatting.
You can use some html to format a bit as well as linking to other files/songs/photos.
Go here -> Guided by iPod and click on *iPod Notes Feature Guide* at teh bottom for a doc explaining the notes.
There are a few apps and web pages to put text docs into the correct size files.
Here's one -> http://www.ipod-notes.com/ (I haven't used it so no idea if it's any good or not).

Question about SSD space? And BootCamp?

Ok, so I installed BootCamp a while ago because I wanted to have a Windows partition and to play games and such on my MacBook Air (2012). The game I wanted to play is relatively large; about 23 GB + or - a few gigs, and I knew that I should include some extra space in there for updates and other stuff. So, I put about 30GB on the partition. When I went on it, there was only like 10GB free!!! So, I kept increasing and increasing until now, I have a like 48.5 GB partition to hold a 23 GB game with only 7.3 GB free. So:
1) Where did all of the rest of the storage space go?!
2) I noticed I think 10 GB or so is in the "Windows" folder. Can I compress this? Will it damage/mess up the Windows Partition? I want to free up some space, but I don't want to break anything.
3) Can I REMOVE a few gigs from the Windows partition, or do I have to start over? If I start over, will I have to redownload my game and all that?
Section 2
I have a 128 GB SSD MacBook Air. I thought that it would be plenty of room. However, I just got a new iPhone, and within a month and a half, I have taken over 2,100 pictures, which takes up numerous GB. So, if I want to back up my iPhone and iPod and all that, I will need a lot of space on my computer. However, I have a Windows partition taking up about 48.5 GB as I remember, so that's about 40% of the entire amount of space on my computer. So, I had a 72 GB portion or so on my Mac side. I thought that this would be enough, but I somehow only have like 28 GB left. If I keep taking pictures, want to back up things, get apps, etc., I would like to free up/add space. So:
1) I know this sounds stupid (I thought I was good with computers and Apple technology, but I just wanted to make sure) ... but is there any way to permanantly add extra SSD space onto my Mac? Because there's the option to upgrade your Mac to like 256 GB which would be awesome, but as far as I know, this is only online, with the more expensive version of the 13" MacBook Air, and I don't know if you can do this with the computer already bought and installed and all that. So, is there any way to add space? Like not free up space, but ADD it?
2) How does the whole Time Machine/ Pass port thing work? If I transferred 10 GB of stuff to Passport or whatever, (1st of all, is it a USB?) if I plugged it in to my computer, could I easily transfer stuff back and forth? Would it take a while?
i) If I had a game on my computer, happened to have Passport or something, and transferred the files to Passport... (this will be a long question) once I plug in the Passport, could I launch the game? Or would I have to transfer the files back to the desktop...
a) Basically, what I'm getting at is... If I had a game's files on Passport / Time Machine / whatever it is called, if I had it plugged in to my computer, would I have to transfer files to the computer to launch/play a game, or could I just play it by putting in thing..
3) If there is a way to increase the space to 256 GB or so, how much would this cost? How long would it take?
I am so sorry about all of my confusing questions, but I just want to ask a bunch at once so I can set things straight in my mind xD
Please help! Thanks so much!

Questions about iPod photo and Apple Protection Plan

I have an iPod photo and an APP that expires May 2007. My
iPod's battery has permanently run out and I plan to use my APP and send it to Apple. Here are my questions:
1. What is the best way to contact them about sending my iPod to them?
2. Does the APP cover battery replacement?
3. Has Apple discontinued the making of iPod photos?
4. If so, will they still replace my battery or will they just send me a completely new iPod?

1) You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
2) Yes.
3) Yes.
4) They will send a replacement iPod photo. They have stock just for this purpose.

Questions about tabs, spaces and indenting

I tried to find some information about this in the forum, but I didn't succeed (perhaps I failed at the search). My apologies if this a trivial topic, but as I'm in the learning process of programming (I started with Python and php myself, and Pascal at college) this is a new world to me.
Yesterday I was editing a txt file in Vim, and I encounter a few issues trying to print it. That's when I learned that tabbing all the way thought to format some text maybe is not a good idea. Then a guy in #Vim directed me to use spaces instead of tabs for indenting and formating the text / programs that I write, as the tab indenting is -almost- only needed by makefiles. Also he showed me than in Python programming it is suggested to use spaces as well.
I googled a bit and I found sites like this, with pros and cons about both styles. Also I found a Vim plugin (Smart Tabs) that at first sight seems quite nice, like it have the best of both worlds.
So my question here is: what should I do? Choose one style and stick with it for ever? Choose according the language? Mix up both? Without any experience on this subject it's hard to know the right way, as it seems that both styles have (strong) advantages and disadvantages.
Also, if is not too much no ask, what tab size should I work with? 8 seems a bit large, although seems to be pretty standard for some languages.
Currently I've this on my .vimrc (the relevant part, of course):
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set softtabstop=4
set expandtab
set autoindent
set smartindent
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes, I think to "choose one style and stick with it" is the most important thing.
I always use two spaces to indent because I like the way it looks. Besides makefiles, I don't use any language that forces me to use either tabs or spaces, so that's not a problem.
I really like this quote:
Linus Torvalds wrote:If you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway, and should fix your program.
(from Wikiquote) After reading that, I don't think about indentation as much anymore.

Q: How to properly shutdown part/all of VDI? and question about disk space

Hi again. I was able to get the VDI to work, but yesterday I changed the ARC parameter both in the storage and the xvm server (not sure in which is needed to be changed) and restarted both machines, to my surprise, the templates and the cloned VM had disappeared, so I was wondering if there is a proper way to shut down parts or the whole VDI? is there a sequence? and, of course, how to then turn everything back online ...
How to make things permanent or at least, to export them so one can then import them back after the reboot?
I did not find this in the documentation, the vdi3.pdf, if it is somewhere else, plz provide me with the link.
also...
I was curious that I could not see the space being used in the storage server:
root@australia:~# df -kl
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
VDisksPool 202890010 19 202889991 1% /VDisks
rpool 58603340 78 58603262 1% /rpool
root@australia:~# ls -l /VDisks/
total 0
but acording to the VDI page, the storage is being used at 3%:
Storage:
Number of Storages: 1
Total Capacity:200.32 GB
Usage:3%
how to check this? where is the space being used?
thanks in advance

If your database is the same version of mySQL on the MAMP as
on the server,
then you should be able to just export it from one and import
it to the
other. If not, you could try doing something similar to what
I describe
here:
http://flexdiary.blogspot.com/2009/01/lazy-loading-tree-example-file-posted.html
in the steps that start: "Download the rtf translation of the
mySQL database
table..." and "Open the classification.rtf you downloaded
and..."

I'm not sure, but I think you might wind up having to make
some adjustments
to it. For instance, is the user name and password identical
on your server
and your MAMP installation? If not, you'll have to edit some
of the
connection data.

This may well be because the type of person who writes these

unlikely to be using the automatically generated scripts.

Question about iPod

Hi!
You can charge any iPod using your computer, buit you can also charge with an AC adaptor. Not all iPods come with the adaptor (my Nano didn't have one), but you can buy one here:

Question about Ipod/Printer Rebate

for anyone who used the student/teacher rebates on the ipod and printer, or anyone who purchased a macbook for that matter, do you guys remember a sales receipt that came with your macbook? how about the printer?
i am preparing to mail in my rebates and i need to include all the copies of the sales receipt. i do have the sales receipt for both the ipod and the printer which it came inside the shipping package, but i do not recall seeing one when the macbook/printer came. can someone verify this?
thanks!

Did you pay with a credit card? Do you remember giving them a email address?
Because when I bought my macbook, I got a hard copy, and provided them with an email address, & they emailed me a copy of the receipt for the macbook.
I would suggest checking your email to see if they did email you a copy.
Or you could just go back to the apple store, the original purchase was made in.
Mark this as helpful or solved plz

Odd Question - About CD Space & Waveburner. . .

Hi.
Ive posted this in the waveburner forum and had no reponse so i thought maybe someone in here would be able to help.
My first problem was that Waveburner didnt accept files that were more than 2GB so i had to compress my file down using quicktime and get it into waveburner. I originally had a 2hr long DJ mix, which i cut down to about 65 mins. . .
I then cut it into all its tracks and named it all. . .
When it came to burning it said that there wasnt enough space on the CD. It then said (633MB Needed). . .
Does this mean it needs 633MB more or it needs 633MB in total. . .
I thought CDs were 700MB?
Anyone that can shed any light on this would be really helping me out a lot!!!
Cheers, B

Hi,
You compressed in Quicktime? What exactly did you do? take a large file and squish it into a smaller-size type of file? Like an mp3?
A 2 hour DJ mix is a 2 hour DJ mix. what did Quicktime get rid of to make it 63 minutes? That's weird... it does not make any sense to me. you just let Quicktime edit out parts of your mix so it ended up at 63 minutes? Unattended?
But then you state you "cut it into all its tracks and named it all"... so you edited it into individual songs, which TOTAL how much time? 2 hours, or 63 minutes?
From the "error" message you got, i think you still have 2 hours of material, in which case I recommend you only do ONE CUT, and have less than 80 minutes of the first part one CD 1, and the rest on CD 2.
It will all together NEVER FIT ON ONE CD. EVER.
Cheers

Questions about ipod video

hi, im going to buy an ipod video, but i just need to be sure its good...i just have a question to every1 that had 1, is it good/worth buying?
and for how long can you watch movies on it till the batterie ends?

If you want a system that can hold all your CD's, listen to audiobooks on, download podcasts of the latest news, carry your family pictures and display them with music on a TV, and have the ability to watch your DVD's or downloaded movies on, then the video Ipod is right for you.
If you want a mp3 player that will NOT get scratched up if you stick it in your pocket, want a mp3 player that you can do extreme exercising with, or want to be able to load DVD's on it without taking the time to experiment and tweak the programs necessary to do it, the the video ipod is NOT for you.

Question about Ipod Setup On New Computer

Hi, the laptop that i had itunes on and stored all my music/playlists crashed, so i was thinking about setting up my ipod on another new computer. If I set it up and connect the ipod again, what will happen to my music library stored on my ipod. Will it be transfered to the new itunes on the new computer, or will the new itunes simply clear my ipod of all the songs that i have previousaly collected? thanks in advance

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
By default the new installation of iTunes will clear your iPod of all the songs. It seems to me you will need to get the songs on your iPod to your new computer.

Question about ipod touch 4g

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried a hard reset of your iPod? Press and hold down the home and sleep/wake buttons until a red slider appears at the top of the lock screen. Sliding it will completely power off your iPod. Turn it back on and the problem should be resolved.

Question about iPod nano 7 gen. distance calculations (without iPod+nike).

How do iPod nano 7 gen. calculate the distance i ran? (without iPod nike). Are those calculations are accurate? I'm a runner, so i need to know distance that i ran. Only distance, nothing more. Thank you

It actually goes back to the theory of accelerometer. It calculates the velocity and from the recorded time you ran, it will be able to calculate the distance.

Question about using Spaces

Is there a way to "send-current-window-to-window-#x" with regards to areas defined in Spaces? eg. I'm often in a window (like my VM of XP in Fusion, or whatever) and I want to send it to another area in Spaces. Is there a key command to do this?
Also is there a way for an application (in this case a VMWare Fusion VM, or Safari, etc.) to default to a certain Space? Or does everything just automatically default to Space #1 and you have to manually arrange every time you boot?
Thanks!

There are several ways to move a window to another space.
One way is to display all spaces: (default is F8 key). You will see all the windows in all the spaces. Just drag the window to the space you want.
Another: Click on the title bar to move the window. While holding the window, switch spaces -- e.g., Command-Arrow. The window will go with you as you move around spaces. Drop it when you get where you want it.

Question about IPod Gen 4

I have a new 4th Generation IPod touch and I can't seem to get the columns to sort in Itunes and I can't figure out what setting is not allowing me to delete songs off the device.
Please help me figure out what I am missing. I know it has to be a setting somewhere, but I can't find it.
Thanks so much.

You can delete songs directly off the iPod Touch when you are in a Playlist.
At the top of the playlist, click on the Edit button...
Then choose the songs you wish to delete from that playlist.
You can also delete an entire playlist from the iPod Touch in basically the same manner above except click on the Delete button.
However, the next time you Sync the device to your computer, these songs and playlists will probably be added back to the iPod Touch.
