Saving space on your Hard drive & I tunes

HI
I am new to the Ipod. Is it possible to load your songs into Itunes on your comnputer. Them upload them to the Ipod. Then deleate them from your hard drive on your computer ??? When the next time you conect your ipod to the computer will the uploaded songs be earesed ????. And then you can you add new music to your computer ,uploaded it, and not have it effect the songs your originaly leaded on the Ipod ????
I hope this makes sence , I do not want all that music on my computer , takes up a lot of space and slows it down .
TIA Joe Parisi Salem Ma

Yes, it is possible: Open iTunes, connect your iPod to your computer. Then right-click on the symbol of your iPod and choose "iPod options". Choose he third point "manage titels and playlists manually".
Now you can delete songs from your library and your computer without them being deleted from your iPod.
hope that helps you

CS4 : Does Adobe Save A Secondary copy of your Already Saved File 2 Your Hard Drive?

Hello all! I run CS4 on my PC laptop, windows vista, 32 bit, 280 gb of hard drive and 4 gb of ram. So here's my dilemma. I've had to reformat my hard drive a couple of times because it gets to critical mass after 4 months of heavy CS4 and internet usage. I do run the latest version of Norton 360 on my system and use google chrome as my browser. I'm taking stuff off my laptop now in the way of files and I've backed up my files on a WD external drive. I also don't really run any other programs except the ones in CS4 (mainly PS, Illustrator and InDesign). I didn't even put Office on my system. So I was wondering if CS4 or any of the CS versions back up any of your saved files to some elusive place on your hard drive as a secondary option. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why my hard drive fills up so fast. I just finished my last semester of school and I realize that some of the folders I had on my desktop were in the GB, but I'm not getting why it fills up quickly. Is there something I should "set" when I'm installing CS4 so that it doesn't hog all my hard drive. I point the finger at Adobe because that's the only really big program that I know of that I run on my system. I'm almost done taking off all my important files/folders and I'm going to install CS6. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everybody and take care. :-)

Nobody can know, but from your all too eager Norton software quarantining files en masse or creating "security backups" to Windows' own system restore to unfinished print jobs to whatever there could be a million reasons. Also your temporary files may simply be filling up, which in part is normal, but not so normal if those files are e.g. Photoshop swap files that have been left in place after program crashes. Refer to some of the info here and do some housekeeping:
Installation Preparations
Beyond the usual config files in your user folder, Adobe don't keep backups, but naturalyl some programs have auto-save features that may also produce one or the other gigabyte of data...

Not enough space on your hard drive

I have an absurd message this morning on my iMac.
"Mac OS X has not enough space for the memory allocated to applications"
My HD has 1,36 Tb AVAILABLE.
What's that ?

I'll repeat your quote from above;
Activy Monitor already checked :
Available : 10, 46 Gb
Active : 3, 38 Gb
My RAM is 16 Gb
What is that number then?

How to free up space on internal hard drive

How do I free up space on my internal hard disc?
I have only about 40 gig of information on my macbook however it says I don't have space while I'm working on photoshop. I have deleted a lot of files on my mac that are already saved in my external hard disc but when I check my memory it says I have only 1.3gig space available out of a 120gig memory. This data is distributed between audio, apps, movies, pictures and other. I don't understand what 'other' is and it says I have about 76gig worth of data in the other part. Please I would need help on how to delete files from this 'other'. Cheers!

All Mac operating systems use any free space on your hard drive as virtual memory, and this virtual memory plays a part in how well your computer performs. Because of this, the more data you have on your hard drive, the less virtual memory becomes available. Therefore, in order to help increase your Mac boot time, and keep your computer running smoothly, periodically cleaning your hard drive is necessary. To clean it up you want to get rid of any old or unnecessary files. You can do this manually by removing unused applications, emptying your trash etc.,

How to find what's on your Hard Drive.

I was wondering how to find out what is on your hard drive. I have an issue where I open up evrything that is inside my hard drive and select get info. Everything like library and users and such add up to 58 gigabytes but then my hard drive actual info says that I have used 99 gigabytes. How do I find the other stuff on my hard drive? I would love to have any help with this, thanks.

First off, have you emptied the trash lately? You could have files in there which will still take up space on your hard drive until you empty it. There are also a number of invisible files, but they shouldn't even come close to how much space you are missing. I would think that if you empty the trash, you will recover much of the space you are missing. If not, then you have an issue with your hard drive. You can run disk utilites on it and see if there are any problems. If there are issues, disk utilities can not repair the boot drive. You will have to boot off the install cd. Once it fully boots up, go to the (I believe, tools menu and select the disk utilities option. You will now beable to select your internal drive and repair it.

HT1338 how do i gain space on my hard drive?

I have over 50 gigs of "other" on my hard drive, how can i free this space?

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
See Lion's Storage Display.
You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.

I needed space on my hard drive and it was suggested to clear the cache by restarting with shift held down. My Aperture library is now missing...help please!

I needed space on my hard drive (iMac- as I do photography part time, and it was suggested to clear the cache by restarting and holding down the shift key. Now most of my Aperture Library is missing and I had senior photos on there for friends....help please.
I heard that Aperture makes alias files when you are editing and that might be what is clogging up my hard drive. I really don't know.

There is nothing that SHIFT reboot does to erase files. Have you restarted normally? It's quite possible that with a full drive you can't start nor can Aperture load its library file.
I don't know who gave you that advice but it's not a viable solution for a full drive:
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

I had all of my video files that I work on in iMovie saved to an external hard drive exclusively to save space on my Macbook. I had just finalized a project, went to work on another one and files couldn't be found, were not deleted how do I find them?

I had all of my video files that I work on in iMovie saved to an external hard drive exclusively to save space on my Macbook. The other day I had just finalized a project and went to work on another one and when I opened the project I could see what should have been there, but scrolling over the entire clip I would only see black and that the file was missing. I did not drag anything on the hard drive to the trash or move anything. How can I get those files? These are videos of my kids and I am devastated and willing to try anything!

Control click does not work - no option to find files. I have no idea what to do. When I look at the usage of the external drive the space is being used, but I cannot find the files. I am going to try MacKeeper's Undelete and see if I can make any progress with it.

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

i just saved my iphoto original library to my external hard drive, now how do i create new space on my hard drive and create a new iphoto library

Trash the copy of the library you just moved. Then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
But do you want to have two iPhoto Libraries? Why not just use the one on the External?

if you use iTunes match in order to create space and remove music from your hard drive, does that happen automatically when you subscribe and upload your music or is there another step to remove the music from your hard drive once you've uploaded to iTunes match?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes match won't automatically remove content from your computer, if you want to do that you will need to do it manually yourself.

Hard disk space on your main drive to run system 10.6.8?

How much hard disk space on your main drive of a MacPro do you need to run system 10.6.8?
I also run Lightroom 4.4, and photoshop CS3
Thank you-

You need more like 50% free on the system.
you need or want 24-48GB RAM for CS6
You want to insure you do not use the boot drive for scratch which CS6 will and will use a lot and hurt performance
Having a couple SSDs on PCIe Sonnet Tempo Pro SSD $300 is a great place for L4/5 catalogue/library, or separate set for CS6 scratch
And all your media of course is not on the boot drive as well.
An SSD boot drive of 120GB $89 or larger, Some large/r SSDs for scratch or/and L4 of 250-750GB or even 1TB.
Lots of good tips on performance and configuring upgrade guides:

Boot camp does not give me the option to make a partition, instead it just gives me the options to download windows support software, install windows 7, etc. I do not want any of these, I want to set aside the space on my hard drive!

Hello, I wish to install Linux Ubuntu on my macbook pro by using boot camp to set aside space. Whenever I load the Boot Camp Assistant application out of the utilities folder in applications, it only gives me the options to download windows support software and install windows 7. I do not want this, I just want to be able to slide that little bar to set aside the space on my hard drive that i can use for Linux. I tried just downloading the windows support software but my internet is immensely slow and it has been an hour or so since it started and it's not even half way done. When this download is finished will i get the option to partition or will i just be faced with those same options?
I am on a 13" macbook pro, with apple OS X snow leopard version 10.7.2
A lot of the data on this macbook was transferred over from my old macbook i had.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thank you for reading.

Well thank you for your honesty. Apple requires you have to have a Mac to develop iPhone apps, ergo my foray into OS-Xland. No way around it that one except for running OSX in a VM, which would have probably saved me some quid, true enough.
BUT for those interested parties: VirtualBox has a startup script in /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox that will prevent OSX from fully booting on the initial (and required) rEFIt boot cycle. Once I temporarily moved that out of the StartupItems rEFIt went in as expected.
FYI, the openSUSE desktop running native is a little peppier than OSX native which was a nice surprise. Now if the Mac just had more open source software we would have a deal. (:
