Strange Problem with iPod disk space

I have something over 2Gigs of music in my iPod, so that should leave more than a Gig of space, BUT
in iTunes, it says 734 songs, 1.8 days, 2.93 GB
however, in the bar on top of that, it says: Used: 3.68GB, Free: 92.8 MB
My iPod shows up as a hard drive in My Computer, and i looked there, there's Calendars, Contacts, Music, Notes, and WMPInfo
all these folders are small, except Music, which is 744MB
so where is this extra stuff that's apparently on my iPod?

If I restore, doesn't that mean I'll lose all my music from my iPod?

Problem With Low Disk Space - Message - Email and ...

Hi all,
I have a N97 and i noticed that when i have around 200 stored messages in my sent and my received in box then i get the e-mail disconnecting and saying to me that it's been disconnected due to low disk space.
So i tried changing the location of the folders for the e-mails and then i got a warning about the folders not being correct and had to restore them to the original settings.
I'm sure this is also related but some one tried to send me a small video via blue tooth and it told me that the memory was full but for the life of me i can't seem to change where a blue tooth message would go too.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
i know i may have 2 separate issues here but it's all the same low disk space or out of disk space etc etc
it would seem that it's a problem so how can i go about fixng it, it's poor...
The first offering is Nokia's new 'Messaging' client. If you really, really have been looking forward to this then by all means install it, but beware that it will, between application and messagebase, use up a lot of disk C: on its own. And you can't switch the messagebase to 'mass memory', because that gets locked out when you connect your N97 up to your PC or Mac, switching Nokia Messaging back to C:. As a long time Gmail user, I still find it easier to use either the 'old' S60 Messaging application (in IMAP4 mode) or just use the standalone Gmail (Java-based) application, which has the benefit of speed and of an utterly minimal footprint in daily use.
Also offered via 'Sw update' is Ovi Maps 3.1, which also insists on ensconcing itself on C:. If version 2.0 is working well for you then there really isn't a compelling reason to update, to be honest. Or at least not one that's compelling enough to warrant signing over at least 7MB of C: to it. If version 2 isn't working for you, you still shouldn't install v3.1, as offered, but go for the very latest v3.3, from the Nokia Beta Labs Maps page. It's faster and slicker and at least you'll be getting extra functionality for your lost Megabytes, including less troublesome GPS performance. See below for more on the GPS.
Next is Ovi Contacts, a beta-quality social integration system that's yet to take off in any meaningful way. Again, just avoided unless you really, really want to get involved. You don't need to lose the vital Megabytes.
Then there's the N-Gage games client, another C: biggie, seemingly swallowing up 6MB or so in a real world installation - if, like me, you're rather underwhelmed by N-Gage titles (in fact, underwhelmed by gaming on Symbian in general, but that's another rant for another day), then just say no and, again, give your internal disk a break.
The final optional 'Sw update' was Quickoffice 6, bringing compatibility with Office 2007 documents. This also takes up the best part of 10MB on C:, so unless you get a lot of Docx or Xlsx files by email then I'd strongly suggest holding fire on this update - you'll probably get it anyway in the v20 firmware in a few months time.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, don't know wether you've done this, but go into messaging/options/settings/other/memory in use/set as E:mass memory. If this causes a problem with email, simply delete mailbox and re-install it, it only takes a couple of minutes. One other thing , if you want to save any txt messages, sync with ovi first.Also to get C memory back delete all messages sent , recieved, reports etc before selecting Memory in use as E. Also go to web browser and clear privacy data regularly. One other thing to note is that usually when connected to computer via usb, messaging memory will revert to C, and you won't be able to see any messages , so reset to E again and they are all there. Best taskmanager from Ovi store is also a real help with memory on phone.
Hope this helps, and my appologies for the somewhat eratic layout nof the advice. Should have mentioned clearing messages from C before using E !
Good Luck

Problem with hard disk space

I don't know what the problem of my macbook pro mid 2010. When I erased a program or files, my hard disk spaces become full but when I installed program or download files my hard disk space diminish. My mac running OS X Maverick 10.9.2.

Pranyana,
do you regularly make Time Machine backups? If so, then the apparent discrepancy could be explained by the behind-the-scenes creation and deletion of local Time Machine snapshots.

Problem with free disk space

Hi. I have a problem on the 256Gb SSD of my MBP retina.
Before deleting a 40Gb video folder i had 80gb free disk space.
After the delete if i check the disk info from the icon on the desktop i have 120gb but checking in the disk utility say i stll have 80gb free. Why?
Thanks in advance

TM will do that on any laptop if it is not tethered to a Time Machine drive. It then deletes the files (local snapshots) later - see some info here:

The problem with scratch disk space.

I have been using Priemere products for over ten years now and have run into a problem recently using Premiere Pro that surprised me. I was editting a project last week that required me to reuse a lengthy clip several times. I would set a different in/out point with each use because the clip was not broken up into separate pieces when it was captured. This is the first time that I have had to do this with such a long clip so I never encountered this problem before. After saving a considerable amount of different versions of the same clip, I received a notice that the hard drive that I was saving the project in was full.
When I checked the project file I found that with each use of the long clip, Premiere would save the entire clip under the preview files sub-folder. This meant that in no time at all I had compiled a total of 35 gig of video files from a single 1.2 gig original. I determined after the fact that I could have redefined a different in/out point on the same original clip without having to reinsert it each time. This would have resulted in a much smaller preview file size.
I have two questions. First, is there some way for me to easily back out all of the duplicate clips from the project window of Premiere so that the preview sub-folder size decreases? Second, will Premiere always duplicate every clip that I select for the timeline in the scratch disk file? This seems like a tremendous waste of space even though it is suppose to improve realtime preview. I always thought that the project file just recorded the locations of the clips and when and where to use them. Maybe I have been wrong all of these years or maybe Adobe Premiere has become more demanding over the years. Either way, some clarification on these points would be greatly appreciated.

Consider a single clip that may contain 45 minutes of video. I wanted to use numerous segments from within that large clip in my video. So, I imported the same clip into the project window of Premiere for each segment that I wan't to use. Each time I imported the file I would set a different in/out point on it and drag that to my Timeline. After about the 10th import, Windows informed me that I had exceeded the storage capacity of the hard drive that my scratch disk was on. I have done numerous videos with both static and video images in the past and have never run into this problem. That was the nature of my inquiry.

Very, very strange problem with iPod Touch. Won't play in my car.

I'd understand if I just plugged my iPod Touch into my car and it didn't work. That could mean it's simply not compatiable with my head unit, it could mean the head unit isn't up to date enough for it. However, the first couple of times I plugged my iPod in, it worked perfectly. It charged the iPod, loaded playlists and played the songs without any problems. But suddenly, it has stopped charging and playing songs. It won't even load the iPod anymore. On the head unit it just says it's searching for the iPod, but it never finds it. On the iPod it says it can't be charged on this device.
I have an Alpine head unit and a 3rd generation 64GB iPod Touch. I really don't understand why it would start saying it can't be charged on the device, when I've charged and played songs on it before. I already know it can work on the head unit.

Unless I'm missing something Chris, I would think it very important if the Touch was charging from the very beginning. Of course if the Touch was fully charged when you first tried it then the songs would play.
Are you saying that your Touch appears to be playing tracks fine and has a charged battery, it's just that the sound isn't being played through the Alpine? Does it connect via the headphone socket of the Touch? If so, then plug some earphones in to see if any sound is coming out. If it is then it's either the cable connection to the Alpine (assuming it isn't Bluetooth as I'm not familiar with you Alpine or the Touch version you have) or the Alpine head unit itself.
You can very easily determine if the Touch is working and thereby eliminate that as being the problem.
Finally, I'm surprised you don't appear to think that it's important your Touch is being charged as obviously if it's not then after a while it will stop!

Strange problem with iPod

Hi! Not so far I bought new iPod Classic 160BG Black. Soon, I downloaded my music library to it (30GB). I have few playlist, every playlist=one radioshow. And every playlist content few releases of the radioshow. It playing from 1 hour up to 2 hours and it take place from 70MB up to 170MB.
And there is problems:
1)When I trying to play last release of some radioshow, iPod opens page with it, loading album cover and... take me back to the song select page! So, playing didn`t start! I tryed to restore iPod, then update, then I compare release of radioshow that I can`t play with that which I can - no any differents! So, it full randomly - I don`t know, which track will play and which didn`t.
2)I must reload my iPod before connecting it to PC, because if I connect it without reloading, it just show "Connected" but wouldn`t appear in iTunes.
3)I can`t eject it! When I pressing eject button, it shows me: "Cannot eject iPod, because files on it using by other program"! But it false!
So, I have 3 problems... help me solve it...

Try the "fix"/procedure listed here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=347728&tstart=0&start=15
Worked like a charm for me. Don't know why Apple hasn't fixed this issue, but anyways. Try that hope it works for you, beats resetting, good luck.

Strange Problem With Extra Spaces

Hello,
My development staff is experiencing a very strange problem with our JSP pages which display the values from a JDBC result set. We have two environments here: development and production. We have been creating pages in development which work out fine in our development environment. But when we move the page into production, each value which results from the ResultSet getString() method is having multiple blank spaces appended to the end of the value. So, for example, a 5 digit zip code field is really showing up with a length of 8 or 9 because there are extra spaces added to the end of the value.
We are able to work around this problem by using the trim() method, but this is getting quite tedious to do to every single page in the site. It is very annoying because the problem does not exist in the development environment.
So you figure there must be a difference in our development and production environments. But there really isn't. Here is the details for both environments:
OS: Windows NT 4.0
Web Server: Apache with Tomcat setup as a plugin
Database: Sybase ASA 6.0.3
JDK: 1.3
Apache and Tomcat were installed from the same download on both servers. Sybase was installed from the same CD on both servers - and the JDBC Driver (SybDriver) was copied from one server to the next.
Sorry for the long explanation - but does anyone have any idea what could be occurring? Why are the extra spaces being appended to the production pages and not the development pages?
As always, thanks in advance for any suggestions!
-- Chris

Hello Paul,
Thank you for taking the time to analyze this case.
The data in the system comes from two different sources. The first source is a nightly feed from a legacy system. The second source is user input via the JSP application. The records that were inserted from the nightly feed have an accurate length() value (meaning there is no untrimmed spaces trailing along.) But the values coming in from the application have extra spaces appended to them. In the development environment, however, both sources provide properly trimmed data.
If I enter an 8 character last name into the web form in the production app, the value which ends up in the database upon submission will have 2 to 3 extra spaces. I know that this sounds strange - and believe me, it is boggling everyone here. I suspect this problem has to do with the Tomcat installation - even though it was installed identically in each server.
I think we are just going to have live with using the trim() for every database submission. As always, thank you for the help, and all ideas are always welcome.

Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.
Here is a screen shot of my "About This Mac.

Problems with Sratch Disks

I have a strange problem with my scratch disks. In my FCP preferences under scratch disks, I have 3 hard drives set up. 2 internal and one external that has been formatted correctly.
My log and capture window tells me my scratch disks on both internal drives is only 9.78mb each. When I checked them in Finder they have 110Gb each. I have recently upgraded to FCP 3.0.4
Does any one have any ideas on this one?
Dame

Ok ignore the above, the problem seems to be that the 10 minutes of DV fottage I captured this morning, is taking up 110gb on main OS HD.
This has never happened before. I recently upgrade FCP to 3.0.4. Does any one have any ideas?

Strange problem with HD

I'm having a strange problem with my titanium 15" Powerbook G4 (I believe it's 867Mhz). When I start it up, I get a flashing question mark/folder, and I can't boot into safe mode or make it start up past that question mark.
Here's the really weird part-- the hard drive is completely fine. I booted it in target mode, was able to access all files on it, transfer files to and from it, and when I ran disk utility, everything was fine.
I heard disk utility doesn't catch everything, so I ran fsck 3 or 4 times with both the -f and -r options (to rebuild the file catalog), and it came up with 0 errors.
I think it's just not recognizing the hard drive as the boot volume, but when I press option on startup to select it, it doesn't pop up in the list-- so there's no way to select it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Tim

I reinstalled Leopard on it using the target disk method (because the DVD drive is broken on the computer). It installed fine, and I can see all system files on it, but I can't boot off of it-- same problem. Thanks for the suggestion... any others?

Strange Problem with Mail & Address Book

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with Mail & Address Book.
When I go to compose a new message from Mail and hit the Address button (to show my email addresses), it won't launch the contacts window!
I get this log from console;
2007-10-15 22:55:59.079 Mail[410] * -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (0) beyond bounds (0)
If I try to launch the Address Book from my Applications folder, it won't open, and it gives me this log from console;

2007-10-15 22:58:37.892 Address Book[417] -[ABAddressBook setDefaultCountryCode:] called with a unknown country code 'us'
I tried deleting the preferences, re-installing Address Book, also tried creating a new user, again no luck!
Can somebody help!!!
Please?!

Hi dp13.
Do you have any Address Book plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Address Book? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/Address\ Book\ Plug-Ins ~/Library/Address\ Book\ Plug-Ins
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.
<hr>
Did you also reinstall the appropriate Combo Update after reinstalling Address Book?
Quit all the applications and verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for Intel
After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.
