Touch storage question

This is a novice question, but as I await the arrival of my first ipod I have wondered if files can be moved back and forth from the iPod touch to my computer when storage space is needed? Like when I am finished with X number of movies, can they be moved back to my computer to make room for more?

well the touch does not have the disk mode so you can't be transfering stuff back and forth. However, if you have songs and movies in your ipod but it also in itunes you can delete stuff on ipod through itunes, but it will not affect the itunes library.

  • What is "Other" in iPod Touch Storage?

    What is the "Other" in iPod Touch Storage on my ipod touch 5th genereation? I have over 2GB of Other and I have 32GB. Is it IOS 7?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Normall "other" is less than 1 1/2 GB
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • IPod Touch newbie questions - pt. III

    Last questions:
    1) I downloaded a few apps from the Apps Store and noticed that a few would not load. They kept cycling and cycling and never completed. I then realized that I had to connect to a Wi FI network, which I am lucky enough to have at home: Verizon FIOS.
    Could Apple consider marking any Applications for download, free or for sale, that requires a WiFi connection to the web as such? This is very user unfriendly and should be info that we have up front. There may be some people who don't have such WiFi connections at hand depending on where they live and if they download one of the fee based apps and find out they need an internet connection to work it, they will be royally ticked off.
    2) The Progression "scrubber bar" - could this be linked to the playback controls in a future firmware update? On my Classic the info was always viewable and one did not have to enable it. I feel it should show automatically and be disabled as an extra step.
    By the way, what do they mean by "scrubber?" Nothing is cleaned or erased in my estimation. This is needlessly confusing. Must be a slang term I'm unfamiliar with.
    3) Lastly, not sure about this but is there a way to download lyrics for songs into iTunes/iPod? If so I guess I've missed this somewhere. If not it would be a great extra to have on the player, particularly, for jogging one's memory or clarifying words to a new song that some singer mangles badly.
    ** I would just to to reaffirm that I may seem a little picky in my posts here but considering the complexity and variety of functions this machine can handle, the beauty of design and interaction with the user and other factors, Apple has done a great job developing this PDA/music player/etc. I only wanted to clear up some issues and maybe submit possible improvements for the future.
    It's been a long time since I've been so impressed by a new piece of technology and I've been around for some time.

    Hi,
    1. I kind see your point and it would not be difficult to implement but generally you can tell how an app works and what it will require from the description. I do know some Apps have virtually no description with them which is unforgivable but then I probably wouild not spend money on them in the first place.
    2. "Scrub Bar" industry standard term for that particular item, just because it does not erase as in your sense of the word "scrub" does not mean it is wrong. To any Video/Audio tape editors it makes perfect sense.
    I don't think having to touch the screen to summon it is that big a deal.
    3. To view lyrics on the Touch they need to be added to the track in iTunes.
    Right click > get info > lyrics, then cut and paste into the box.
    I fear you may well become irritated once more as to see them you will have to summon the "scrub bar" while the track is playing...
    Regards,
    Dud.

  • Ipod touch internet question???

    i have two questions:
    1. can you view videos online on a ipod touch that are on websites using safari (excluding youtube)like movie6.net, ign.com, tv-links.co.uk or google video.
    2. as well does it cost to use the internet on a ipod touch my friends say that you do have to pay to use it.

    In no way are there fees linked to Apple or AT&T for internet use on the iPod Touch. As Trey said, you may have to pay to use a public access point, but this is very rare and costs little, when it costs any at all.

  • Scrollview with Tableview, Tableviewcell touch feedback question

    I am trying to make a scrollview with some tableview in it so that I can slide new tableview with drag&slide. Does anyone know if this is all possible? I tried to implement this but scrollview blocks all the event and doesn't let the table view to scroll up&down.
    My second questions is if it is possible to highlight the some portion of tableviewcell when touched? The whole cell is highlighted to blue but I would like only some part of the cell to be highlighted to blue. Would it be possible?
    Thanks.

    Never assume they will fix it immediately. You have no way of being certain that they will even be able to fix it at all without sending it off to a service centre.

  • Dropbox/cloud storage question (help i am feeling like a big dummy)

    i have used iDisk in the past and now use drobpox and for some reason my brain has never allowed me to understand how to handle an issue with dropbox and (kind as they are) my previous inquiries to the dropbox folks have never cleared this up for me. it /seems/ like it is a practical question with real and serious consequences but i am feeling particularly thick about it and am always stuck like a deer in the headlights when i run into it. anyone able and willing to walk me past this?
    here is the scenario:
    i have moved data onto dropbox from either my desktop machine or from my laptop machine. it is hours and hours later and i am now on the laptop and i see a red X on the dropbox icon.
    can you please explain to me in detail what i need to do at this point? for instance, i don't know whether i moved a large folder with subfolder and files and subfiles and whether this included other un-nested folders or other un-nested files and i am confused as to what the red X means.
    i mean, presumably if i buy additional storage all the files will be synced up on dropbox and accessible from my two computers and the data that i MOVED from the computers (and that put me over the limit) will not be on the computer that i MOVED it from?!
    what happens if i /don't/ upgrade?
    can you please tell me how i handle this assuming i don't pay dropbox to make more space?
    i mean - i guess all the data is there but - well but what??
    - jon

    When you move a file to Dropbox you are actually moving it to a folder on your Mac called 'Dropbox'. Dropbox then syncs this folder to the server.
    If you put more data in the folder than your limit, Dropbox won't sync it. The files will simply stay there - they aren't in Dropbox, they are on your Mac. If you move the excess files out syncing will start again. So what you propose will work.
    In this situation there are some files in your Dropbox folder which are also on the server, and some - those over the limit - which aren't. If you move the latter out of the folder then no change has been made. If you move some of the files which have been synced, those files will be removed from Dropbox and if this brings you under the limit syncing will resume.

  • U330 Touch - SSD Question

    Hi, I recently bought a U330 Touch i7. I hadn't realized that it shipped with a HDD/SSD combination drive. When I booted it up I found the main OS installed on the HDD along with a load of other applications, then on the SSD drive was only  McAfee and a load of drivers. The HDD is 500GB (or near enough) and the SSD 25GB. The unit is ST500LM000-1EJ162. THe SSD appears as a separate driver in file explorer but seems to be a partition of the main HDD in disk utility.
    I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to find answers to by looking around on the site:
    1. Should I just install the applications I am most likely to use straight onto the SSD - so MS Office, Chrome, Unity and a couple of steam games - assuming the benefit on having them on the SSD is going to be worth it.
    2. I was told by someone it might be a hybrid drive and the migration of software from the HDD to SSD would be handled by some software. Is it a hybrid drive?
    3. Can I actually reinstall the OS directly on the SSD and would the benefit be worth the hassle of the reinstall?
    4. If I do re-install can I get the installation files for the OS and associated software that shipped with the machine from Lenovo direct?
    Sorry for so many questions, but its my first SSD and there seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there.
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

    You don't want to use the WD as the recovery drive, you want to use a flash drive.  Recovery and the factory load should fit on a 16 Gb flash drive. This will be used to refresh or repair the OS if you ever have the problem of not being able to boot.
    The WD should be used to backup your current configuration since it will be so large.  As you do Windows updates and install more programs and save more files, this backup should be replaced on the WD on a regular basis.
    The recovery flash drive will only be used to boot and install the original OS that your machine came with, or to repair or refresh the OS. Then you will use the backup from the WD to put the current OS back on.
    Once you make the flash drive, I would test it to make sure it boots and goes into the recovery environment.
    Again, the WD will only be used for backing up your current configuration and should be updated regularly.
    I've never tried to use an external hard drive as a recovery drive, it might or might not work.  The instructions are pretty specific so I doubt that it will
    You're welcome to try it though.

  • Snow Leopard and Direct Access Storage Question

    Hello All,
    I am planning on adding a DAS to my iMAC for storage and data recovery.  I will likely be running a RAID 5 configuration.  My question is how to set the DAS up as a multi-user device so that each user has security and privacy for their information. 
    I don't know if Snow Leopard supports this feature.  I also don't know if I would be required to set up different partitions for each user.
    Can anyone shed some light?
    Best regards,
    Nik H

  • Use PE Organizer or Lightroom to Catalog Videos + Storage Questions

    Hello everyone. I'm re-entering the video arena after several years and have purchased a new entry level HD camcorder and plan on using Premier Elements for editing home videos. Nothing professional, just home movies, youth sports, stuff like that.
    I have been an avid stills photographer however and have defined a workflow that I'm comfortable with. With stills - usually RAW files, I import them to an external hard drive first, import them into Lightroom, then proceed to catalog and keyword them appropriately.
    Question 1: I know my way around Lightroom and it does allow for the cataloging and keywording of video files. I see that PE 12 has an organizer built into the program. Is there any advantage of me using PE's Organizer over Lightroom? They are all Adobe products, I'm just wondering if there is some sort of integration between PE's Organizer and Editor that will buy me an easier workflow or not. Otherwise I'll just use Lightroom.
    Question 2: So a few years back I was taking videos with a DV camcorder, importing the video, editing it, burning a DVD, then deleting the source files AND the finished product that was burned to the DVD. I was certainly a novice and as I became more involved with photography and the technology itself, I came to realize that blowing away the finished product and relying on DVDs as storage was a bad idea. This means for those yesteryear videos I took I must hope a) that the discs never go "bad", which I know now they won't last forever, and b) that I must keep at least some machine around in the next decades that can play these discs. Yes, Blu-Ray players are backward compatible, but who knows in 20 years, right? At some point I'll try and look into capturing those DVDs back to a digital file, but that's besides the point. So I know I do not want to rely on DVDs as a "preservation" or archiving method for finished produced videos. The raw source files I'm not too worried about. I'll keep them around on an external drive and burn them to DVD-R, and worse case I'll have to roll them off the external drive if I run out of space and cannot afford a new drive right away. So my question is: a) what is the best format to store the finished video so that I am not reliant on DVDs as my primary preservation method and b) a format that I can use to re-burn a DVD or Blu-Ray disc later should I need to make additional copies and the original DVD/Blu-Ray disc is no longer available for a straight copy? The "b" portion of this question is of key importance to me right now because while I have a decent Blu-Ray player, I do not have the capabilities to burn a Blu-Ray (or even a DVD for that matter). I plan on getting a Blu-Ray burner within the next 6 months, but until then I will need to create finished videos that will eventually be turned into DVDs/Blu-Rays. What format could I store the finished product in so that I can go back and easily burn video to a DVD or Blu-Ray disc later? I would think the format would be very specific for Blu-Ray burning later especially.
    Sorry for the long post. I tried to keep it as short as possible.
    Have a great weekend!

    Thanks for the follow ups. Sorry for the delayed response. Was thinking about your questions but got detoured several times.
    Let us start with archiving....I do not know that there is a perfect solution with changing times et al.
    1. Project Archiving would appear at face value to be a good choice
    a. preserves your source media that the project file needs to trace back to
    b. preserves the project file with all its edits so that your re-entry into the project will allow you further edits and/or alternative
    export choices.
    c. there is a concern about disc menus in archived projects but you say that the disc menu aspect of the matter is not important to you
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Archiving Projects With Disc Menus
    My main problem with Project Archiver is that you are dependent on being able to open the archived project file in the same version in which it was
    created or a later version...the later the version, the more the concern.
    2. When it comes to burn tos DVD, AVCHD, or Blu-ray....VIDEO_TS, BDMV, BDMV & Blu-ray disc image....
    a. The best of all worlds might be accomplished by saving the VIDEO_TS Folder from a burn to folder for DVD and saving the BDMV from a burn to folder for AVCHD. There is no Premiere Elements burn to folder for Blu-ray. Depending on the version of Premiere Elements and the computer operating system, you could try for a burn to Blu-ray disc image with Phantom Burner in conjunction with Premiere Elements.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Disc Image/Phantom Burner & PE
    I would probably have more confidence on finding a program now or in the future - ImgBurn, Nero...to be available to take the VIDEO_TS, BDMV, or Blu-ray disc image to disc. You might even consider a burn to Blu-ray, followed by copying the BDMV Folder from it for archiving purposes. The video files from VIDEO_TS and BDMV are easily extracted.
    3. If preserving the edited Timeline is the target, then SD project I would probably go with DV AVI standard or widescreen, if HD, probably an AVCHD.mp4 or AVCHD.m2t.
    If Premiere Elements versions got stronger on disc image, I suspect I would go that route to preserve a project. Right now, I am doing a mix of all of the above.
    As for Lightroom, Elements Organizer, and Premiere Elements. I am not a great fan of Lightroom. Neither am I have heavy user of Elements Organizer. However, I have looked a some Lightroom tryouts along the way to see what it is all about.
    1. With regard to your use of Photoshop Elements 9 plus Lightroom, that seems consistent with the workflows suggested by others and the gains to be gotten in using the best attributes of each.
    Integrate Lightroom with Elements – Photoshop Elements User
    You would probably get greater advantage using the same version of Elements Organizer as Photoshop Elements for the sake of integration.
    Just in case note....Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements are standalone programs, each coming with its own Elements Organizer. When Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements same versions are on the same computer they share the same Elements Organizer catalog..
    2. For me, Lightroom and Premiere Elements, unlike Photoshop Elements, and video never seemed to integrate well.
    The following is a link to some work I did with LIghtroom when I was at a forum that I no longer visit
    Lightroom 4.1 Slideshow Module Visited - Elements Village
    From my perspective, Premiere Elements integration with Elements Organizer and Photoshop Elements gives me a workflow that meets my needs.
    My camera does not record raw image format. But, if I have Camera Raw installed on my computer with Premiere Elements, I can import raw image format and dng as source media into a Premiere Elements project. For edit of the raw image format, I need the Camera Raw dialog which requires the presence of Photoshop Elements which I have.
    Please review and consider the above and then let me know if I have targeted your question.
    Thank you.

  • IPod Touch 2G Questions

    I just bought an iPod Touch 2G. It's used, but works great. I have the latest version of iTunes. Here are several questions that I'm having trouble finding the answers to:
    1- When you drag your finger UP the screen, it scrolls DOWN (as if the iPod was a book or piece of paper). I prefer thinking of it as a "digital viewer", & would like to be able to drag my finger DOWN the screen to scroll DOWN (like using a mouse-cursor on a scroll-bar). Is there any Setting or Application to do this?
    2- The Main Menu has 4 Icons at the bottom for "Music", "Videos", "Safari", & "App Store". Above that are 14 Icons for the Apps & Programs that the iPod came with: "Mail", "Calendar", "Photos", "Contacts", "YouTube", "Stocks", "Maps", "Weather", "Voice Memos", "Notes", "Clock", "Calculator", "Settings", & "iTunes". Is there any way to remove any of these Apps, or at least remove their Icons from the Main Menu? Some of them like "Stocks" & "Voice Memos" I have no use for, & I'd rather not have them clogging up the Main Menu.
    3- Does the iPod Touch 2G support a Folder System (either initially, or through an App)? If so, how do I create & edit it?

    2) No you cannot remove the apps that come on the ipod. You can move them to another home page.

    3) No. You can look for Apps in the app store that will store data via wi-fi.

  • IPod Touch 5G question

    Ok, this doesn't happen with my iPod Touch 4G, but it does with my 5G. Every time I connect it to my laptop to charge, it asks 'Trust This Computer?'. Every time. If it did it once, it wouldn't really bother me, but it does it repeatedly. It will ask me at 2-4 times - sometimes more - every time I plug it in. My laptop is the only computer I connect it to, so why does it repeatedly ask that question?

    Perhaps you need to try rebooting it:
    Rebooting your iDevice
    Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The iPad should begin to start up.
    If this doesn't help then try restoring it:
    Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
    1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode

    7. iOS - Unable to update or restore
    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
                iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • 1-touch dialing question

    The User's Guide is wose than useless, so here is my question.
    I have my contacts all set up, but the 1-touch dialing seems to be #2-#9 and rendomly assigned to different contacts. How do I delete and/or edit the various assign numbers. When I go in to edit them it sometimes gives a choice to delete, but that doesn't do anything and I can't seem to actually edit any number or assignment.

    Providing details of your Phone model will be more helpful...
    This is what I get on my Nokia 5800xm..
    Menu-->Settings-->Calling-->speed Dialling... Now 1 to 9 are displayed where 1 is reserved..
    If any number is already assigned then it shows the Contact Names.. Highlight --> Options...and it gives options to Call/Change/Remove/View Number/Create Message/Help/Exit...
    If not assigned ..then Highlight-->Options...and it gives options to Assign/Help/Exit...
