Too much hard drive space

Hi, can anyone help please? I am a new 80gb ipod owner and want to know if there is a way that i can delete some of the albums from itunes without deleting them from my ipod because my pc hard drive is 80gb also.Therefore if i want to fill my ipod my pc hard drive won't cope.

You can change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos" if you want it to have a different content to iTunes. You can get details here: Managing content manually on iPod
One major word of caution. If you delete songs from your PC and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

Firefox is using too much hard drive space

According to my control panel, mozilla firefox is taking 8gb of my hard drive.

I think it is very strange also, but I did end up uninstalling it and reinstalling it on my hdd instead of my ssd. In doing so I free'd up 5gb of hard drive space on my ssd. I have no idea why it would have taken up so much hard drive space in the first place though.

Itunes is taking up too much hard drive space on pc? what do I do?

I love the 20 gb ipod i recently got but it now with just 120 songs seems to have taken up too much space on pc hard-drive (ibm) If i allow it to compress to library what will happen to those songs when i re sync? Guess Im afraid theyll disappear from ipod itself.

You might find better help in the iTunes for Windows discussion if you are using Windows.

In replacing a hard drive on a Mac book circa 2006, can you put too much hard drive space in and cause overheating? I've had 2 hard drives fail after installation in the past 3 weeks.

I recently had my Mac book circa 2006 updated to OS Lion and in the process was told I needed a new hard drive. I just replaced my original hard drive 9 months ago and was told at that time not to put too large a hard drive on my laptop or it could overheat. Now I have gone through 2 hard drives in the past 3 weeks since updating to Lion both of which were a terabyte in size. The authorized repair shop that put both failed hard drives in insists that the size of the hard drive does not cause problems in the Mac book but I am wondering why 2 failed in such a short time when the smaller hard drive lasted. It was working when I took it in for the updates but their diagnotic test showed that the first replacement HD was failing. I'm not sure what to think now.

Can I take that cloned hard drive and just plug it into my new Mac Mini and Viola I have two computers set up perfectly
Yes.

How can i tell how much hard drive space my website is taking up on my computer?

I have a website that i build through iweb and publish via mobile me. i have about 200 podcasts on the site, and I am trying to figure out how much hard drive space this is taking up on my computer. these files are not in itunes, and i'm not concerned about the space they are taking up in my cloud, i just want to know how much space on my computer they are taking up because i'm trying to decide if i should move my iweb site to a different computer to alleviate some space issues. any help would be much appreciated.

Check the size of the Domain.site2 file that is in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. it contains all of the files used to create and publish your site. I'm not sure if it copies the podcasts into it or not. You can open the domain package and do a search for them. Just don't move, rename or delete any files inside that package or your site is toast.

How much hard drive space does Tiger need to be installed?

I have a small hard drive that I want to set up as a boot drive. What is the minimum disk space required to install Tiger? Thanks.

For an emergency boot drive 20GB will work, possibly even a 10GB if you omit several unused Languages & Printer drivers.
While a finished install may end up only 2.5 GB, during installation many temp & VM files are used, possibly as much as 10GB for a 2.5 GB install.
IMO, 20GB is not enough for use on anything but Emergency use.
If you're not going to install from your Optical, how are you going to do it?

How much hard drive space?

Hi Gang,
My hard drive is filling up with about 6 gigs left. Somewhere along the line I read that the OS needs about 10 gigs of free space to run efficiently. Is this true. Do I need to free up some space? Thanks for your reply.

Any computer will get pretty sluggish after you fill over about 85% of the hard disk up (less if you're burning DVDs etc).
You should look at an external hard drive both to provide back-up and much more space to save your files to.
cheers
