Running out of room..

Okay "My Library" on iTunes is set on my C drive. My C drive is running out of room. Now I have a D drive that is brand new. How do I transfer all the music from the C and set it up to the D?

Try this:
Move all of your files to a file on your D drive, perhaps C:\itunes\itunes music to D:\itunes\itunes music.
Then open iTunes and click on Edit - Preferences and then open the advanced tab.
On the Advanced tab you will see a window that indicates the looaction of the music folder. You should be able to just change C to D. If not, then click on "Change" and you can select the folder.

I have a macbook, 2Ghz 10.5.8 which is running out of room. Should I add all memory I can and will upgrading to mountain Lion use that all up before i even begin?

I have a macbook using 10.5.8, 2 Gb memory which is running out of room. I use it mostly for photos/videos. How much memory can i add and when i upgrade through snow leopard to mountain lion what will it cost andwill that use up all the newly added memory?

You can put in any 2.5" form factor SATA drive that is 9.5mm or less in height. For RAM we need to know whether you have the 2.0 Ghz or 2.13 Ghz processor model 5.2 MacBook. The model 5,2 (Early 2009, 2.0GHz Model Only) can use 6gb of 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM. The model 5,2 (Mid 2009, 2.13GHz Model Only) can use 6gb of 200 pin 800mhz PC2-6400 RAM.
For a new hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE

Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application SuperDuper. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Vantec-NexStar-2-5-Inch-External-Enclosure/dp/B002JQNXZC/r ef=pd_cp_pc_0
If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5

HT4236 I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. No dice. Help!

I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. My photos on the devices get wiped out when I sync to iPhoto since I deleted all the albums. But when I sync to my hard drive (where I maintained the album structure) the photos are copied to my iPad but lose all the hierarchy and folder structure. Now I have to scroll through thousands of photos to try to find the one I'm looking for. Before I sync any more devices I want to know the following: 1) can I restore the album structure on my iPad by using the photo cache? 2) is there a way to sync both new iPhoto albums AND pictures in the folders in my hard drive? And 3) how can I keep the photo hierarchy structure from my hard drive intact on my devices?

Don't do that.
Copy /Photos/Photo library/ to the external.
Hold Option and launch iPhoto.
Select Choose library and select the Photo library you copied to the external.

Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available. You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

Have run out of room on iweb, can't publish. Can I delete data and reclaim space?

I have been working on my website for ages, constantly doing and redoing and saving each time. Now I get a message that I've run out of room & can't publish. I kow I can buy more space, but it's annoying because I'm sure there is a mass of trash I could delete from the changes I've made. But where is it, and how can I dump it. Is it possible?

It's a regular error with MobileMe. Usually it says that you run oit of space.

Running out of room - combine drives?

I've got two internal flash drives and I am running out of room on my start-up disk. Its almost all programs. Can I span the two drives into one? The star-up is 240 gig and the second is 120 gig. Or can I move some of these programs to the second disk?

Hi Babdi,
That's of some help - at least now I know that it is sound files that are taking the biggest chunk of memory, but I need a better break down than that. For example, I have files belonging to over 20 podcasts - I would like to see which particular podcast is taking up the most room and trim that one. As it is, I can see all individual sound files in the folder:
Memory Card\Podcasts\Sounds
but it isn't immediately obvious which file belongs to which podcast, and there is no way for me to logically sort them into their categories..
Any other things I can try?
Thank you very much btw - you still showed me something useful.

Running out of room on my Nokia N95 8GB

Hi All,
I am running out of room on my Nokia N95. On my Windows drives for a situation like this, I usually turn to a utility like WinDirStat or TreeSize to tell me how much each folder has, because Win XP by itself doesn't let me see the size of all sub-folders for any given folder.
However, using Nokia PC Suite, the path to my memory card is not accessible to either WinDirStat or TreeSize. In Explorer, it looks like:
Nokia Phone Browser\Kermit the N95 8GB\Memory Card
But the path in WinDirStat and TreeSize comes up more like, neither of which can work with this:
::{20D2AFE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08006A30309D}\::{416651E4-9C3C-11D9-9BDE-F66BBD1E3F3A}\359542013516644\E:
So, how do I get a proper idea of where my space is going?
Any assistance appreciated.
Rob

W350 help needed - runs out of room synching my Outlook Notes

I have about 50 short notes saved in Outlook Notes that I would like to have synched with my W350 phone. Trouble is, that when I synch, I run out of room for these Notes at around #40.
My question: My phone has a 2GB ram chip in it. If I go to a bigger chip, will I be able to download all the notes? Trouble is, I am not sure if the phone uses this extra memory for Notes, or if it's in some kind of built-in memory in the phone. I don't keep music or anything other than Contacts and Calendar items on the phone.
Thanks for your help.

Hi there, unfortunately notes are sync'ed to the internal memory of the phone. The internal memory is about 14MB so it is limited, I'm not aware of any software to allow you to sync directly with the memory card

Keep running out of room on my 16 gb iphone 5

I have a 16 gb Iphone 5, with only a few apps but 466 phots. But when i have to update an app, or downloading an app, it tells me that their is not enough storage. Is there a way to fix this? i back up to icloud everytime that i plug my phone in. I have even deleted some of my photos. Why am i running out of storage so quick? Also, if back up my phone to my compter, can i delete my photos on my phone and not lose them?

They are of my daugheter and i would be devistated if i lost those.
You should be moving or at least copying your photos from your iPhone to your computer on a regular basis. See this on how to do that.

"Other" hard drive space. I'm running out of room.

I'm on a mid-2010 21" iMac. Up to date on all software. 1TB hard drive. But i'm down to about 60GB of free space. I have large (300GB and 200GB or so respectively) photo and music libraries. But I have 275GB of "Other". The only answer I can find here about what to do about "Other" is to now worry about it. Lol? But I'm really going to be running out of disk space soon.
Any ideas on how to reduce "Other"??

Ok. I downloaded OmniDiskSweeper that I found recommended by another thread. I ran it and found this;
Under Users>Library>Application Support>Mobile Sync>Backup
This Mobile Sync/Backup file is 200GB on its own.
Are these my iPhone backups?? In iTunes>Preferences>Devices?? I do have iPhone backups going back to 08!!!
Am I safe to just go an delete all these backups? Obviously I don't need an 08 phone backup!
Help?

Need step by step instructions to move photos from ipad to my old PC...running out of room

I have an ipad full of pictures and have no room left to do anything! How can I get my photos to a memory stick and //or to my old PC...not a mac user.....need easy step by step information please!

Make sure you have the most up-to-date verwsion of iTunes installed on your computer.
Then connect your iPad the computer and it should show up in Windows Expolorer as a camera drive.
You can access the DCIM folder from it, and copy the files out.
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Problem with 4 sparsebundles to a time capsule - running out of room

hi, if anyone could help me? I am near critical in filling up the time capsule and time machine is not deleting older files within the sparsebundles.
I have 4 macs backing up to a 1Tb time capsule via time machine. I have only 4.4 G left.
Theoretically, the time machines for each individual machines should have started deleting once I hit a critical mark. But, it has simply continued filling and I am worried it is going to crash.
I realized this happend a few months ago when I was keeping docs AND sparsebundles on the timecapsule. but when I called applecare, they guarenteed it was because of the data files and once I had only sparse bundles on the time capsule, there would be no problem.
Well, the problem has reoccured, and I am no longer covered by apple care.
My questions are:
1. I was told once that you could export your sparsebundles directly to a USB drive? Can someone tell me how (from within time capsule). Otherwise, copying requires it go through one of my computers (which I assume would then be done wirelessly and be slooooooow). I can't take it in to the apple store until I have the data backed up.
2. Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a setting (ie watermark) that I am simply missing?
Any help would be greately appreciated.

No, there's no "critical mark" if you mean a certain percentage or amount of space remaining. Time Machine will begin deleting old backups when it doesn't have enough room for new ones.
If any of your Macs are running Leopard, however, and have the +Warn when old backups are deleted+ box checked in Time Machine Preferences > Options, the backups will fail with a "Backup disk full" message. See #C4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

IDVD changes encoding quality in the middle of burning a DVD. This causes the DVD to run out of room for longer projects. This worked fine for the past two years, and in the past few weeks it started having this problem.

Here are details on the problem: I'm running iDVD 7.1.2 on an iMac that uses OS 10.6.8. After about two years of using iDVD to burn both single- and dual-layer disks, I find I can no longer burn dual-layer disks. When I put in a dual-layer disk and try to burn a project, the project size keeps increasing. For instance, I recently tried to burn a project that was just over 4GB and, when I stopped the project part-way through, the project size read as 6.89GB. If I don't stop the project in time, the blue bar that indicates burning status reaches the end (so that all of it is blue) before the time listed has elapsed and the disk ejects but cannot be recognized by the computer or our dvd player. If I then go to the project menu and switch the encoding from Professional Quality to Best Performance and back again, the program "remembers" the actual file size - but, if I try to burn the project again, I have the increasing same problem. If I let the project go until the disk ejects, the project menu will then read some total in the red (i.e., above the size that a dl disk will burn, even though the actual file size is below the limit). I believe (perhaps 90% sure) this began after I tried to encode a movie with subtitles; instead of burning properly, this movie created a data disk with at least one folder that said something about VIDEO_TS, if I recall correctly.

To be a true video DVD the disk must be in the UDF format (Universal Disk Format) and must have a AUDIO_TS folder (empty) and VIDEO_TS folder (where all the elements of the DVD are located).
The content on a DVD is MPG-2 encoded and it is quite possible for the encoded size of your content to exceed the estimated project size - especially if you use lots of transitions and content encoded with CODECS more recent than mpg-2 (which is quite old at this point).
The safest thing to do is to make your 'burn' to a disk image file - then you know everything went fine before you commit to burning a disk, I know the instructions warn about creating a disk image file for dual-layer projects, but I've never had any problems and don't recall hearing anyone here who had problems.
