Restore iPod - Why no additional free space (actually less)?

Hi,
My 60 GB iPod originally held over 12,000 songs (no video). I started deleting songs and adding new ones and realized deleted songs don't fully delete. I eventually ended up with a full hard drive and about 8,500 songs.
I have now restored the iPod, using Apple instructions, and can't even get all the 8,500 songs back onto the iPod, never mind get additional usable space. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks for any helpful response!

The number of songs doesn't depend the actual number of songs, it depends on the size of the songs in terms of their file size (the amount of space they take up on the hard drive). Also if the songs have a higher bit rate, they will take up more room.

How do you create additional free space on the volume containing the iPhoto library? I have plenty of HD space.

How do you create additional free space on the volume containing the iPhoto library? When attempting to import images from a CD I get an "Insufficient Disk Space" message albeit there is plaenty of additional space on the hard drive.

How much free space do you have on your hard drive? Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

HT1766 Problems to restore and backup not enough free space in iPhone

When trying to restore backup my iPhone using iTunes, I get the following information: "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space avaialbe in the iPhone". What should I do? I need to do this following AT&T instructions to unlock my iPhone.
Thank you

Hello gcrespi,

Why doesn't free space increase when I delete songs?

I have a 3rd gen iPod Nano that I have had for 4+ years. I had a problem with it last week - I was no longer able to copy songs to it, so I did a restore and then reloaded a bunch of songs. This worked fine. Now what I find, though, is that when I delete songs, the amount of free space available does not increase (no matter how many I delete). Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? Thanks.

So you manually manage the iPod's contents then? Are you deleting the tracks from the iPod itself or from your actual iTunes library?
What happens if you do a hard reset the iPod after removing the content? Do the free space reappear then?

Why is "fill free space" no longer leaving space for more photos or deleting music when I want to add other things

My iPhone 4 with iOS 5 update doesn't seem to sync as smoothly as before. Before it used to allow some space for more photos. Or if I added a photo album toit would delete some of the "free space" music to make room for what I was adding. Now it just seems to cram almost all the space and just leave the music there not chaning anything with each sync.

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. Choose no and it will default to manual mode and from there you can choose the selected playlist option: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

How did my iPhone 4 get additional free space?

iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1.
I synced my iPhone 4 to iTunes on a laptop by accident. I told my iPhone that I didn't trust the computer, and then I unhooked the phone. But before I did, I noticed on iTunes that I had 1.7 gigs of free space. On the same day, earlier, I noticed I only had 1.5 gigs. After I unhooked, I noticed it jumped to 1.9 and stayed on 1.8 gigs. What the **** happened? I looked at the apps and non of them were erased as to photos and music. I checked the emails, text, and voice messages saved, and none of them were erase.
What happened?
Additional info that may not be related, but...
I am using this app, Battery Doctor, and it told me that I had 1.7 gigs of free space, which was not true when I went to settings/general. It said 1.5 gigs available.
I did delete a lot of apps the previous day, but I would assume that my iPhone 4 would have caught up to the extact or general ammount of free space I retained.

Cleanfiles? Don't know nor ever used it. I've never used anything on my iPhone that isn't part of the ecosystem. No jailbreak... for now at least.

Why is the free space different in iTunes and iPhone?

I can not download an app update because I don't have enough room on my iiPhone. I plug it into iTunes and it says I have 3.23 GB free. Why the difference? I have synced several times.Also, I think I remember in the past the iPhone has kept some old backups on it taking up space. I can't find those now. Where would they be if they exist?
I have an iPhone 5S with the software up to date. I have an iMac with the Mavericks software and iTunes up to date.
Thanks

Simple solution. Totally erase all your music from the ipod. then try transferring it all back on, or just what you want, if not all of it. This should pretty much correct it. Good luck!

IPhone syncing, versus iPod syncing - different Free Space results

I am stumped. I have an iPhone 4.02, 32GB and an iPod Touch, 2nd Gen, 4.02 also 32 GB. After changing iTunes to "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC", and syncing the SAME set of songs (both have 4334 songs), here are the results:
iPod = 4334 songs, 11.8 days, 16.7 GB of disk space
iPhone = 4375 songs (ringtones), 11.8 days, and (when I first connect it to iTunes, it says 15.9 GB disk space, but then when it finishes, it jumps to 20.2 GB of disk space.)
What gives? Why is there roughly 4.3 GB of "used" space all of a sudden at the end of syncing on the iPhone? It is the same set of songs. (Yes, both the iPod and iPhone have "Sync only checked songs and videos", "Sync Music -> Entire music library" and "Sync Music -> Include music videos".)
After all is done, I have the following:
iPod = 6.8 GB free space (sure, apps make up 1GB of difference)
iPhone = 0.86 GB free space
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I have this same issue with my iPhone 4 and using the 128 kbps conversion option. It'll show a lower capacity usage at times then jump up to a significantly higher capacity usage. Furthermore, if I get down to about 1GB free on the phone. I can't sync even a single additional song.
Have you (or anyone) ever resolved this issue?

Errors upon erasing free space

I have been experiencing particularly bizarre errors since switching to Mac. Two of the strangest are related to erasing free space.
I wasn't aware that OS X could erase free space on its own, until I read the security guide, so I first purchased Shredit X. It worked the first time. The second time, it did not free up the space after the shred. I couldn't even close my programs without resorting to the command line, but I eventually got it to shut down without a hard reset. As I was logging off, the "Reclaiming disk space" process, or whatever it's called, ran as usual, and it appeared to work. My disk space was back to normal. A few days later, I tested it again, to see if it was a fluke, and it did the same thing. I have spoken with the company, and they're not sure what caused it. So I decided to go with Disk Utilities instead.
I started the process last night, and left it going overnight. This morning, I checked to see if it was finished. The login screen that appears after the computer has slept worked fine. However, it was a different story after I logged in. I could not hit any key on the keyboard, and they would trigger the beep that occurs when you hit an invalid key. I could not left-click. The only input that worked at all was a right-click, and it only worked on the application bar at the top of the screen. I was unable to shut down, because I could not close dialog boxes, so I had to hard reset.
It would be nice if there was some explanation for either of these...

<EDIT>I don't know if I made this clear enough in my original post: The computer works fine after the restart, and I am even posting from the computer in question right now. The problems with input lasted only between the time the free space wipe finished, and the time when I had to hard reset.</EDIT>
The Knowledge Base article about Disk Utility to which you linked stated this: "When possible, disk permissions should be repaired while started up from a Mac OS X volume (hard disk) that contains updated Mac OS X software, instead of a Mac OS X installation disc." It also mentioned loss of software updates if it was not run from the startup disk. And so, I am a bit leery of running it from the install disk...
I had verified disk permissions a short while ago, so I didn't expect anything out of the ordinary. I was wrong, and there was quite a bit of weirdness with the permissions, almost all of it about not expecting ACL in "System/Library/User Template". I tried to repair disk permissions, and everything looked like it went okay. But when I verified again, it apparently didn't actually repair them.
Will running Disk Utilities from the install disk cause me to lose any data? I have no backups, as I don't own an external hard drive, so I really wouldn't want to lose anything. In particular, my collection of images of album covers, my music collection, my own recordings, and the metadata on the music are all things I'd rather not part with. Should I even be worrying about this?
I'm also not sure what the connection would be between my problem and disk permissions. Could you explain that a bit? I still have no idea why erasing the free space messed with my input devices.
Sorry for the extra-long post, but I figure getting as much info out as possible could help to solve the problem.
That animated image of a bug in your signature is amusing, by the way.

Lion takes long time to find free space after emptying trash

After emptying the trash, I've noticed that Lion does not see the additional free space until after doing a reboot, and even after that it takes a long time for it to find all the new free space. Anybody know what's wrong with the trash system?

Absolutely nothing is wrong with it. See Missing disk space in Lion.

Blocks have much more free space specified by pctfree moved off freelist.

We have a table with pctfree=0 and pctused=90 and experienced high session against it. During the high session, we saw lots of "read by other session", cbc chain, and "buffer busy wait" caused by the same sql (INESRT). The row size of of an average 4K with long raw. After got the block info for the "read by other session" and "buffer busy wait", I dumped the block. The strange thing is that all the of blocks dumped are not in the freelist and the available free space is over 1K.
My idea is: When the session named waiting_a experienced "read by other session" to find the block to insert data, that block must be in the freelist, otherwise the waiting_a wouldn't try to read it in buffer and wouldn't be waiting for it to be ready. Very shortly other session reading_b which was reading the block put the data in buffer and did the insert operation, and the reading_b completed its work of insert. My dump should be after reading_b completed. So the dumped block should contain the data inserted by reading_b. After that the block was got off from freelist.
But why blocks with 0x520 (1312)and 0x104c (4172) freespace got off from freelist? As pctuse is 90, a block will be got off from freelist when free space is less than 10% of the block size, and these two blocks have much more freespace.

knowing Oracle specifically warns against using multiple blocksizes
Nope. Oracle does not warn against using multiple blocksizes, anywhere in the documentation.
The only warnings I've seen (By Daniel Morgan, and unverified) claims that Oracle was negligent and only tested the SQL optimizer with an 8k blocksize.
I'm not sure that this is true, since it would constitute misfeasance.
I know that Oracle does extensive tesing on their new features, and the docs offer the multiple blocksize feature without reservation.
Uisng multiple blocksizes is a well established, proven concept.
DBA's have been using them for decades with IMS, IDMS and DB2 before Oracle came along.
I first saw multiple blocksized used with great success in the 1980's, and they are still in use today on many large databases.
provide a measurable idea what 'lots' constitute, and how much I/O is reduced in the shops you saw?There is load of verifiable evidence out there:
http://www.google.com/search?&q=site%3Awww.tpc.org+db_16k_cache_size
This UNISYS Oracle benchmark used multiple blocksizes to achieve optimal performance
db_cache_size = 4000M
db_recycle_cache_size = 500M
db_8k_cache_size = 200M
db_16k_cache_size = 4056M
db_2k_cache_size = 35430M
http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP100883
The IBM Oracle Technical Brief titled "Oracle Architecture and Tuning on AIX" (November 2006) notes that careful evaluation is required before implementing multiple blocksizes:
While most customers only use the default database block size, it is possible to use up to 5 different database block sizes for different objects within the same database.
Having multiple database block sizes adds administrative complexity and (if poorly designed and implemented) can have adverse performance consequences. Therefore, using multiple block sizes should only be done after careful planning and performance evaluation.

Disk Management Claims there is "Free Space" on Disk 0. Possible to merge it into main drive?

Hello.
Thanks for having the time to read my post.
Recently, I was trying to Dualboot Windows 7 with another OS just to test something out(The Operating system was horrible.)
But anyway, when it was installing that OS, it took over 160 Gb memory out of my main drive and into a seprate drive for that os.
So when I went in Disk Management, I saw a hidden drive saying 160 Gb. I deleted it and now it's says under Disk 0 "159.83 Gb Free Space" in a green box.
I don't know how to merge that memory into my main C drive again.
Thanks.
son588

Hi Son588,
Why is it free space instead of unallocated space? I guess the drive you have deleted is a logical drive in extended partition. You can try to right-click the free space to deleted it again. If there is no partitions, locating between C drive and unallocated
space, you can merge the unallocated space in to C drive with the feature of "Extend Volume" built-in Disk Management. If not, there are two solutions to solve your problem:
Solution1: Backup partitions which locate between C drive and unallcated space, and then delete these partitions. Then merge unallcoated space into C drive with “Extend Volume”.
Solution2: Extend partition with free partition manager software.
Resources:

Free partition manager software: http://www.disk-partition.com/free-partition-software.html
i hope it'll help you!

Time Machine not deleting to provide adequate free space

This is similar, but not identical to the recent post.
I am backing up my internal system hard drive, which contains 111 GB, to a 1 TB external. But the disk has filled up to the point that I now get a TechTool Protection Alert every few minutes warning me that the free space is less than 15%.
Sure, I can turn off the warning, but I agree with TechTool; I'd like to to maintain an adequate amount of free space so that overcrowding files don't create their own problems.
Is there anyway to get Time Machine to begin the replacement of old files with newer ones prior to completely running out of space? What is the empty space threshold that Time Machine uses; surely not 100% full. Or is something not working right for me.
Thanks

Less than 15% free space on your Time Machine disk is not a problem. That volume is not used for swap files, caches, or even active files, like your OSX volume is.
If you have other data in the same partition, that can cause a problem, but Time Machine was designed to use up all the empty space available to it; there's no advantage to keeping any more of it free than it needs.
By the way, if you're using the +Directory Protection+ feature of TT pro, exclude your Time Machine volume from it; and the files it keeps on your internal HD from Time Machine backups. It won't help if there's a problem, and having Time Machine back up the files can cause extra-large backups for no real benefit. See #D4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
