Space being used when syncing

795 songs are using 6.43 GB which is almost all of the 7gb memory on my i touch.
Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? I dont have anything else on the i touch that is taking up space so I cant understand it. I have tried manually transferring the music rather than syncing automatically but the same thing is happening. Why is 795 songs taking up so much space?

Yes if you change the setting to High Quality (128kbps) that will mean any new CD import you do will take up less space. Any tracks you buy from the Apple Store will still be provided in 256 kbps though.
What version of iTunes are you using as the 'Convert Higher Bit Rate songs to 128 kbps AAC' option only appeared in one of the recent updates. I have connected my iPod touch and checked that the option is there, I am using iTunes 9.1.1

How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.

I have 2 iphone 4 and iphone 5 in use,when syncing 1 phone on computer,it want let you sync other iphone on different computer,it want to erase content

have 2 iphone 4 and iphone 5 in the house under use,when syncing on 1 laptop in itunes placing songs that not brought from itunes from disk that was added,when another party try to down load there music from their laptop,it want do it,says that it want to erase content on iphone because 1 iphone was already use on itunes,each iphone is recognize by one name joyce iphone,tell me how can i down load my music on my on laptop without erasing my content

Iphones will sync with one and only one computer at a time. Sycning to anohter computer will indeed erase the current content from your iphone.

I will try that. Thank you. I am hoping to buy a wifi hotspot, but wondered what type of data plan I should get if I were to use it consistantly for 8 hours a day (only on saturdays and sundays). A great tool for work & presentations!!
It will use minimal internet bandwidth unless your content is streaming from web>iPad>AppleTV.
Local network comms for content already on the iPad (eg presentations) will not generally use internet bandwidth apart from protected iTunes material that requires brief internet authorisation.

Why is the template not being used when dynamic page called ?

Hi,
I have created a dynamic page and assigned a template to it. When I call the dynamic page using the 'show' procedure from a form, I do not see the template.
Why is the template not being used ? How can I get the template working when I call the dynamic page ?
I even tried to show the page from the dynamic page's manage components tab and there is same problem. Template is not being used.
thanks,
Mainak

You can alter the generated package body to include the following function in the header and footer sections.
Header:
PORTAL.wwv_headings.show_header(
p_template => 'PUBLIC.TEMPLATE_3',
p_heading => 'Dynamic Page',
p_help_link => 'PORTAL_DEMO.EXAMPLE_DYNAMIC_PAGE.help',
p_about_link => 'PORTAL_DEMO.EXAMPLE_DYNAMIC_PAGE.about');
Footer:
PORTAL.wwv_headings.show_footer(
p_template => 'PUBLIC.TEMPLATE_3',
p_help_link => 'PORTAL_DEMO.EXAMPLE_DYNAMIC_PAGE.help');
where
<PORTAL_DEMO> indicates application schema
<PORTAL> indicates the name of the portal (normally this will be portal30 by default).

How do I know which Location is being used when set to Automatic

I have two Locations set up called Home and Music Room. I've selected Automatic in Network Prefernces so my Mac picks the appropriate one.
Home location - Wi-Fi (1st in the Service order), Ethernet (2nd in the Service order although I'll only be using Wi-Fi with this location)
Music Room location - Ethernet (1st in the Service order), Wi-Fi (2nd in the Service order)
So right now, for example, I'm in my music room so I want it to be using the Music Room location and Ethernet but I don't know what it's actually using. In Network preferences, Automatic is shown as the Location, Wi-Fi is at the top, and both Wi-Fi and Ethernet say 'Connected'. If I click on Ethernet to see the details, it does say in the Status area, "Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192.168.1.74" so does this mean Ethernet is the one being used?
Thanks.

There is no need to have 2 personal keychains. To make your life simpler combine them.
the login keychain is standard so it is best to keep that. Open the keychain access application, select your named keychain click on any of the keychain entries in the main window then press command +a to select them all then drag them onto your login keychain. You will be prompted to enter the password for your named keychain.
Then when you have successfully moved them to your login keychain make sure that is set as the default keychain and then you can delete the other keychain. Please not do not delete any of the system keychains.

Unaccounted HDD space being used

So, in trying to clean up my HDD, I've found that some significant amount of data has been unaccounted for and hidden in my hard drive.
Let me break it down thus:
I have a Hard Drive with 55.9 GB total.
52.61 GB are used up, leaving 2.96 GB available. This is according to Finder and the StatPro widget.
In Macintosh HD, I learned the following:
27.11 GB make up the Users folder,
13 GB make up the Library folder,
8.17 GB make up the Applications folder,
and 1.98 GB make up the System folder.
(There are two other folders, but the grand total of data is under 200 kB)
Adding that up, that gives me about 50.27 GB used up on the Macintosh HD, give or take .02 GB.
If Finder is saying that 52.61 GB is being used up, and Macintosh HD in Finder states that ~50.27 GB is being used up, this leaves ~2.35 GB unaccounted for. What I'd like to know is, how can I find it?
Also, any suggestions on clearing up disc space? I mean, I've backed up my stuff on my external HD, but some things I use on a day to day basis on my MacBook that I can't simply lug around my LaCie 250 gig ext HD just so I can use it.

Thanks. I did find out where the majority of the unaccounted space was coming from: The VM folder within private (in particular, the "sleepimage" file). I have some degree of suspicion as to what it might be, but I'd rather hear from someone who has a better understanding of the situation, I'd like to know exactly what the "sleepimage" file is (I won't delete it, just would like to know).
That said, Disk Inventory X has proven very helpful. I have managed to remove a few gigs of data from stuff I've never used or needed (couldn't believe there were nearly 2 gigs dedicated to iDVD).

IPad 2 iOS 8 storage being used when streaming videos (TV Shows) no way to delete or find the videos? Am I missing something?

I am using a 32GB iPad2 with iOS 8.0.2 loaded on it. I stream iTunes purchased TV show videos on the device through the video app which I think is supposed to be streaming the video but it seems to be using up storage space anyway. When I go to manage storage I don't even see the video icon there to see what videos are there. The only way I can clean up space is to reset the iPad. This is too time consuming and I would think there is an easier way to deal with this issue? I do little else than watch video so it is the only app that can be using that much storage. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I Am having the same problem. The video app isn't showing up in manage memory. If I click on the little cloud to download a video the video app will show up there, though, it only shows the video I downloaded by clicking the cloud and doesn't show the videos I downloaded but still show the cloud next to them. The videos are definitely taking up a ton of space on my iPad. I changed it to only show the videos downloaded to this iPad and the videos I watched still show up. Also, a ton of my space is used. This is a serious issue. There are gigs of space I can't use until they fix this. I've also tried opening the video app and deleting them there with no luck. I'm using an iPad 3 64gig.
If they have the cloud icon next to them, they aren't downloaded to your device, so there is nothing to delete, and they aren't taking up space. What does it say under Available Storage in Settings->General->Usage?

Phil, this is exactly the problem, when watching shows iPads always download the video. When using iOS7 regardless of how the video was started it would always show up under the video selection of storag management, thus allowing th user to delete it and make space available for other videos or whatever. Now with iOS8 the videos do not behave the same way. If you download by pressing thof cloud the fil can be found under the video selection of manage storage, but if you select just the picture(icon) for a he show it will play and take up space but will not show up under the video selection of the managed storage and the user will hav no known way to delete the file or files. Clearly there are other people have th same issue. I would like to see someon from Apple try to duplicate what i've posted here using the same hardware and iOS version to determine if this is actually a bug or if I am done my something wrong.
Just tried this myself, and it seems its doing something different when played directly from the picture. It does indeed play, but it does not show up as used space anywhere.
Can't seem to find any explanation for this anywhere.
I guess for now, it would be better to just tap the cloud icon so you can delete it afterwards.
Perhaps it would be useful to report it as a Bug to Apple.

I think I'll do just that.

"Other" space being used in iPod memory ...

i have been trying to sync about 2.5 gigs of audio to my iPod (it's a second gen. 4 gig). every time i try, the screen shows about 1.3 gigs being taken up by "other" files. i have no idea what these files are, how they got there, or how to get rid of them. does anyone have any ideas or tips?

Other can be Album Artwork, Notes, Contacts, Firmware etc. or files that are on there if you are using the iPod as a removable storage device. If you feel that Other is being incorrectly reported then try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. 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. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

ICal events being deleted when syncing with Palm Zire 21

I have been syncing my Palm Zire 21 with iCal successfully for over a year with few problems. A few weeks ago I noticed that almost, but not all of the events on both the Palm device and iCal more than three months old were gone. Then, a few weeks later, I noticed that the events suddenly were all back in the iCal application, but not on the Palm device.
But this week, I used HotSync (as usual) to sync iCal and the Palm device, and the events were gone again. Now I am wondering what on Earth I am doing to cause this. I have read the articles about setting up to sync. I double-checked to be sure I have been syncing the way that is outlined in the instructions in the help articles.
I must have missed something vital. I have been backing up my iCal to my .Mac account using Backup. I am thinking that I can restore the iCal events using my last backup. Can I? And how do I keep this from happening again?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) "OS10.4.10" "iSync 2.4" "iCal 2.0.5" "Hotsync 3.1"

Found the issue for me. The events are not deleted, but filtered in the standard calendar view. The iPhone shows everything as it should. Outlook 2003 has all the events to as seen when going to categories view.
It seems that once events pass on the iPhone and then a sync via iTunes to Outlook 2003 the "All Day Event" field is removed from the calendar entry.
Creating another Day/Week/Month View in outlook 2003 that has a filter to only include calendar entries where the "All Day Event" field "does not exist" will allow viewing the "hidden" past events.
Hopefully this will be fixed VERY SOON.

Apps purchased on iPad are being deleted when syncing with iTunes

Hi,
I am having a problem with the apps that I purchase using my iPad not syncing with iTunes. I have purchased several apps and books. When I use my iPad to make the purchase and then plug the device into my computer to allow it to sync, iTunes goes through the process of backing up the iPad and then transfering purchases over. When it gets to the step for syncing tracks it goes and removes all of the apps that it just said it was transfering the purchases over for. Nothing I do seems to work to fix this issue so that the apps aren't removed when I sync. So far the only ones that stay on my computer and device are the apps that I used my computer to buy and then are synced onto my iPad. Please let me know what to do about this as I have lost several apps.
Thanks
Josef

I am not sure what the problem could be.
You may want to try disabling auto-sync, make some purchases on your iPad, and then transfering the purchases and see if they show up in your iTunes library and the checkbox for the apps are checked for syncing to your iPad. If they are then you can try syncing and see if that deletes them from your iTunes library.
The link for instructions on transfering your purchase is as follows:
