Showing there's used space when there isn't

I have a 30 GB video iPod and it is showing there is over 7 GB worth of space used. I totally removed everything from my iPod so there shouldn't be anything on there. In iTunes there are no songs, no videos...NOTHING...yet it's showing that 7.86 GB are being used. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, reset my iPod, everything and I just don't get it. Please help =(

Try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

TM failing saying there isnt enough space when there is TB's free after upg

We have a bunch of 2tb drives linked together via fw800 (OSX Software raid) which is maxing out a 9.1TB in total.
Time Machine correctly states that 5.3tb will be required to backup. However it wont backup claiming that there isnt enough room on the 9.1tb disk which is dedicated to Time Machine.
Take off one of the 2tb disks reducing the array to 7.3tb and it works fine.
Any ideas ?

Yeah we are using the Disk Utility ("Concatenated RAID set") Raid 0. We have been previously backing up without any problems, after adding an extra 2tb drive to the raid set it complains that there isnt enough space to perform the backup.
Take the new drive away and its fine again. It is reporting the right size for the backup set and the right size for the raid set 9.1tb when the new drive is added.
Thanks for the help.

I accidently unplugged my iPod before ejecting it and now all my music is gone. Although it says that there is used space. I have music on a few different computers and not all backed up on one computer. Help! How do I get my music back?

I accidentally unplugged my iPod before ejecting it, which has never been a problem before. But today it says theres no music on it even though it says there's used space. I don't have my iPod backed up and my music is on several different computers. Help!! How do I get my music back?

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Trying to put pics on a flashdrive and keep getting error that there is not enough free space when there is. I tried to empty trash with the flash drive in but still not working. Help!

Trying to copy photos in folder on desktop to a flash drive but keep getting error that there is not enough free space when there is. I read to delete trash with the flash drive in but that still doesn't work. Help!!

How is the flash drive formatted? Open Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities) and see how it's formatted - that might be the problem.

HT1284 Do I need to reformat my external hard drive before I backup to it? It shows very little free space when in fact it is empty.

I am new to Imac. I want to use an external hard drive to backup to but the drive shows very little free space when in fact it is empty. Do I need to reformat it and, if so How? Thanks

What is the external disk?
Is it new? If so, maybe it has a Windows file system on it (FAT, exFAT, or NTFS). If so then reformat to "HFS+ Journaled".
What backup utility are you using? TimeMachine, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, etc...? If the external is suppose to be bootable because you are using a cloning backup (CCC or SuperDuper), then it is also important that the disk partition table be GUID.
You can find out this information via Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility, select the disk (not volume on the disk) and the partition time will be shown at the botton of the window. Now Select the volume and it will tell you how the file system on the disk is formatted.
Also do you want to leave room for a recovery partition on the external disk? Then repartition it with a small (2GB) partition that can hold a bootable recovery partition that you can setup via the Apple "Recovery Disk Assistant" which can be downloaded from Apple.

Why do graphics and colors that appear on the monitor show up as blank spaces when printed out

Graphics (especially color) on emails and attachments show up as BLANK spaces when printed out.
Also, some color graphics and detail work of those graphics on familiar websites do not show up on my monitor
Both of these situations DO NOT occur on Explorer. With that browser - everything is OK

it may have worked, but gimping my system isn't exactly a solution, more of a band-aid.
its the equivalent of the old
patient says, " its hurts when i do *this* "
doctor replies," well, don't do that "
What do you mean "it may have worked" – did it or did it not?
Anyway it is not a remedy but diagnostics and if it makes a difference it points at the GPU driver as a likely culprit.

My iPhone 5 won't use 3G when 4G isn't available. I live in the middle of nowhere, but with my iPhone 4 I could use the Internet on 3G just fine without needing wifi. Now I don't get anything unless I'm on wifi. My phone says '4G' but then says 'could not activate cellular data' or gives me the gray google failed because you dont have internet page. I have AT&T if that matters. I just want to get Internet and my email like I used to be able to. Slow 3G is fine with me, but I need it to work on my iPhone 5. Can anyone help me?

Oh ok, thank you! So I just got a bum SIM card when I bought this phone or something?

"Not enough disk space" when there seems to be

I'm a newbie to iDVD and iMovie (my last Mac was a Performa 6360--still using it for the family budget) and got my daughter a MacBook as a graduation gift. She is using it to combine movie inputs from a wedding/reception that come from digital camreas and a couple of video cameras. We went to Flip4Mac to get the necessary features to import .wmv files (only way we could download one of the vidoe cameras).
Issue: When she tries to import vidoes already on her computer, she gets: "The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space to import Macintosh HD/Users/julie/pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2007/Roll8/CIMG1442.AVI"
Basically the question is how to get more room on her disk to import and to save? She seems to only be able to Save--she can't Save Project as an option because it says she doesn't have enough disk space (she's deleted the trash). Help says you need to have more than 400mb of free space or it gets difficult but the indicator shows 28.8GB free space left...so there seems to be some kind of disconnect?? (Or maybe we're talking apples and oranges?)
On top of that, she also gets the same error message when she tries to burn the project onto a disk???
I went through the first 5 pages of the forum and couldn't see a similar problem, but then I may have not known what to look for?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...she's trying to give the DVD as a Wedding gift--somewhat belated.

"Not enough disk space" when there seems to be (+ rapid memory consumption)

[Note: I originally posted this in the iDVD section, but due to an answer I got there to another question and further conversations with my daughter, figured out this is probably an iMovie question?]
I'm a newbie to iDVD and iMovie and Forums (my last Mac was a Performa 6360--still using it for the family budget). I got my daughter a MacBook as a graduation gift. She is using it to combine movie inputs from a wedding/reception that come from digital camreas and a couple of video cameras. We went to Flip4Mac to get the necessary software/features to import .wmv files (only way we could download one of the video cameras was by going from PC to Mac--can't remember if it was a Sony or Canon).
Issue: When she tries to import vidoes into iMovie HD 6.0.3 which have already been transferred to her computer, she gets: "The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space to import Macintosh HD/Users/julie/pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2007/Roll8/CIMG1442.AVI" [She says this is about a 4 min. clip.]
Basically the question is how to get more room on her disk to import and to save?

(Or maybe we're talking apples and oranges?)
[Even more disturbing, just in the last couple of days with only a little time spent on the computer, the 28.8 GB has dropped to 2.3GB--obviously there is something she is doing that she is not aware of or shouldn't be doing that is consuming memory at a rapid pace.] On top of that, she also gets the same error message when she tries to burn the project onto a disk using iDVD???

Hello Karstn Schluter,
This is fm's daughter who is havin ghte difficulites. at the end you tell me to try to answer 1-8 so i will try.
1- how can you tell if the avi is containing divx? or not?? do I need to just keep this in mind when importing these files
2- I have not brought in an external drive. I did try making my laptop computer a harddrive so I could import my imovie poject to my eMAC at one point, but it was not allowing me to do that either. Because I had to have it in DVD form or something
3- No I did not segment the internal drive....sorry How do you do that??? Right now I am trying to find out what is taking up all the memory and Hard Disk Drive space....i do not know how to do that either....Do you know how???
4-Yes I know flip4mac is for wmv....I guess what that question was emplying was that I also have wmv files that I am trying to import to imovieHD and that is not working either...I can get my avi to get into imovieHD, but not my wmv. files
5-THank you for the tip with the trash then another question to this one how do you delet projects that are taking up memory that are no longer in use?
6-Thank you for the tip...so then ignore the not enough disk space.....how can you alter the disk space so that you can save the project under save project as and not just save project?
7- Sorry my dad was miss informed I cannot import the wmv. files to imovie and I cannot import imovie to iDVD I only have transferred one and then all of the other files are not seen as movies so I can not import them?? Does that make since
8- When we were useing the Sony Camera originally we could not import the video to the MAC because it did not have the correct firewire cable and it would not been read onto the MAC computer. So, we have to buy the flip4mac equipment so that I would be able ot download the inoformation to the computer by a wmv.file dvd so we are having difficulites trying to import that file.
I hope these answers clear up the question a little bit more and sorry that your answers brought out more questions. Thank you very much for helping me. I was using a different program in my college class so changing to imovie and idvd has been a huge struggle for me. Thank you once again.

Bug: Bookmarks do not show up on the browser when there is no connection

Pre is not showing bookmark icons when there is no internet connection.
I am currently on international roaming with no data connection, but am using the Pre over WiFi. The Pre turns off WiFi when not in use, and then reconnects as soon as i turn it on.
However, it takes a few seconds to reconnect to WiFi, and if I open the browser in the mean time, it just opens a blank window with no bookmarks. It has the address bar, but doesn't really work.
If I open the browser once it has connected to WiFi, everything works fine.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Same thing happens in Airplane mode. I'll pass this along.... thanks!
(You can't even edit full bookmarks list, either. I can understand, kinda, not displaying the icons as their only purpose it to launch a data connection to the site, which obviously you're not going to do when not connected to data. But IMO, you should still be able to organize your bookmarks, which doesn't look like you can do)

2011 model with poor battery life and always says no disk space when there is nothing on it?

I have a 2011 Mac Book Air and have noticed that the battery only lasts a couple of hours. It also constantly says I have no start up disk space available when there is nothing really on it, only a couple of photos.

A
1. Check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.8 or earlier.
3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
Enable Power Nap while on battery power
if it's shown (it may not be.)
4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

How can I cache part of an Apple map, so that I can use it when there is no 3G or wifi signal?

I am going abroad and I know the area to which I am going has no signal or any hope of connection.
How can I download the part of a map in the area and use it when I get there? Or do I need to download the whole country map from a third party supplier onto my iPad?

When the map is displayed on the screen, do a screenshot.

Does the adapter use power when there's no phone connected?

Hi all,
I was wondering: Does the Apple poweradapter consume electricity, when there's no iPhone (or iPad etc.) connected to it?
I leave my adapters and cables in a poweroutlet all the time, which I can turn off but I was just curious about this. I read different things all over the internet, so I thought it would be best to ask my question here.
I have the original Apple 10W adapters, with the lightning usb cable, iPhone 5 and iPad 4. I live in The Netherlands by the way, if that makes any difference.
Thanks!
Stefan

Wall adapters do use a very small amount ... but it is miniscule, and not worth considering. Though I suppose there would be an unacceptable loss in 'green' eyes if there were 10,000 of them connected.

Possible water damage, says there is headphone connected when there isn't, what do I do?

I bought my iPhone 4s on October 23, and it was working fine until yesterday. I made a call after I got off work, and couldn't hear anything through the headpiece. No ringing or voice, so I hung up. I then checked the volume and it showed the ringer volume with (headphones). There were no headphone connected. I tried putting headphones in normally, but it wouldn't make the same "click" it used to. There doesn't appear to be anything stuck in the jack, so I don't know what the problem is. I am a dishwasher and keep my phone in it's case in my back pocket and don't take it out while I work. It has ghost armor too, but could it possibly have gotten wet through the charger connector and/or headphone jack? There doesn't appear to be anything wrong other than the headphone jack, but I'm worried. What can I do?

Try plugging/unplugging the headphone jack many times very rapidly.
If this does not work try Resetting the iPhone (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let the buttons go).
