Sync Problem: Freeing MacBook HD space will clear all Sync to iPod

Hi all,
i 'm filling my ipod video with podcast videos music etc...
i use the sync option to do it in a simple and fast way.
the problem is that i dont want to have space occupied on my MacBook
after. I want to leave everything on my iPod and free my computer space.
I cannot do that as i'm in sync, and if I do that it will clear all my files on the ipod.
Is there a solution for that? or shall I have to clear iPod, unchecke the sync option and do everything manually?
it's a crazy wrong thing of itunes software.... isn't it?
thank you in advance
regards
tom

You need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
You cannot have it set to manual and then expect the Podcasts to auto sync. Neither can you delete stuff from your Mac and auto sync the iPod. Everything on the iPod would be deleted.
However, storing content on your iPod and nowhere else is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the Podcasts etc would be erased. If you no longer have them in iTunes (or any other back up), then they would be lost.

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

I should know, but I don't. If I upload all of my photos to iCloud and then delete them off of my iPhone (for more storage space), will they all remain in iCloud or am I missing the point of iCloud?

Right now, there is no way to upload and access photos in iCloud. You need to import them to a computer if you want to be able to retrieve them later:

Will system automatic clear all the records in v$SQLAREA?

Can anyone tell me when the system will clear all the records in v$SQLAREA table? Or this is a global temporary table, once the database is down, all the records will remove from this table.
FAN

v$sqlarea contains records from shared memory, which uses LRU algorithm to store data (oldest data are thrown away where there is no place for new data). On the other hand shared memory is empied when you shutdown database (thats why is contains almost no data at startup).

How to Clear all the data of open windows form of another exe?

Hi,
I want to make utility which will clear all the data from one windows application.
i know the application name. The application of which data i want to clear is made in C# and contains many windows forms and controls.
out of that opened windows form and controls inside it need to be cleared.
Please guide on how to do this in C#?

Short version: Find the window and send it a message with
SendMessage.
Open up Spy++ and find your form's window. You will see that the window has children and they have classes of the form "WindowsForms10.EDIT.*" Those are TextBox controls. You can call things like SetWindowText to set the
text of the window to clear it.
To do this programmatically, you'll have to obtain the window hand that corresponds to the control. You can find windows with
FindWindowEx or
EnumWindows. Locate the window by name or class or whatever else you can determine about it. Find the child windows and "clear" them however you wish. I assume you mean to set empty strings to all the TextEdit controls. If you
intend to do something more sophisticated than that, then you'll have to be more specific about what you mean by "Clear all the data".
It may or may not be obvious that you'll be poking around with Win32 API calls via PInvoke to accomplish much of this. Example:
SetWindowText via PInvoke.

How do I sync my iPod Classic w/my new home desktop so I don't lose everything on my iPod? My old computer didn't work, so I used my work laptop to purchase songs. I burned them to CDs

How do I sync my iPod Classic w/my new home desktop computer so I don't lose what's on my iPod? My old desk was trashed. Used work laptop to purchased iTunes. Burned to CDs and downloaded to new home computer. Now can't sync w/iPod b/c it will erase all music on iPod and don't have back up of everything on iPod.

It is a mix. Some came from I-Tunes and the rest from CD's. I have the I-Tunes songs in my I-Tunes account, but can't sync to add new somgs to my i-pod. I would also like to move all my music to my I-Phone.

Hey Etti101,
I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

Having problem with iPad sync getting pop up message as below. The iPad cannot be synced because there is not enough space to hold all of the items in the iTues library (additional 10.03 GB required). There is enogh space be it in PC or on iPad.

Having problem with i Pad sync getting pop up message as below. The i Pad cannot be synced because there is not enough space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 10.03 GB required). There is enough space be it in PC or on i Pad. Why and What can be done to resolve, please advice appreciate. Thanks

It generally means - just using random numbers for examples - the iTunes on your computer holds 45 gig of content, you have a 16 gig iPad which has 13 gig of free space and the content just won't fit.
Easy solutions. go into iTunes and 'manually manage' your content. I believe this is in the main summary tab for your device (connect your device, click on the icon in iTunes to access controls for your iPad
You may also need to choose to manually control content in both the music and movie tabs.
Apple - Support - Manuals
the manual will have more specific info for syncing and controlling content

Hello ashlyn888,
Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

HT1296 Have a problem with syncing. I get this message: The ipod Bill's Ipod" cannot be synced because there is not enough space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 2.4GB required) I don't understand as I have much more space than 2

I recently ran into a problem with syncing my ipod touch to itunes on my Windows 7 pc. It had previously been synced to my older laptop
and I wanted to change to my newer Windows 7 laptop's itunes library that I had already been syncing with.
Anyway, I started seeing this message that prevents my from syncing:
The iPod "Bill's iPod" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library
(additional 2.48 GB required)
Not sure if it is talking about my iPod free space or my PC itunes library free space. Either way I have 11.0 GB free space available
on my iPod and 412 GB free space available on my Windows 7 PC.
How do I handle this problem? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

It is saying that the iPod does not have enough free storage to sync all the items yu have selected to sync to the iPod. You need 2.48 GB more free on the iPod. You need either to select less to sync or delete some content form the iPod.

My ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library(additional 2.35GB required) but it shows 5.85GB free space, there was no problem until i got a new laptop.

"The ipod **** cannot be synced becaue there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library (additional 2.35 GB required)" but it shows 5.89 GB free. I recently bought a new laptop, and gave away my old one after deleting everything off it, including itunes, the problem started then,

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

try this.
get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
see if that sorts it out for you.
good luck.
