Unable to delete data files from my Ipod if used as data storage...

Hello everybody
I bought months ago an Ipod Nano 8GB. I've got an issue when i use it as disk storage i'm not able to sort out. I've checked all the topics but i cannot find any solution.
Example: I use the Ipod with the option "Manually manage music and videos". I put audio and video files on my Ipod through Itunes, then i put also some files on my Ipod as normal data files through my Mac Finder (Easy, i drag VLC, JPG files etc. from folders to my Ipod). The Ipod/Itunes summary page shows (Correctly) the capacity column colored in blue (Audio), video (Purple) and orange (Data). No probs when i transfer data files to another computer.
Problem: when i delete the data files from my Ipod (Through finder) the orange column doesn't disappear (I have no problems if i delete audio/video files via Itunes) and although i've actually deleted all the files if i try to add some other data or videos/music files to my Ipod, Itunes says that there is no space available in my device. It's very strange, i check and double check all the options but eventually i have to restore my Ipod all the times and (Pretty annoying) add all my files again.
It seems that although i sent my files to the trash bin, Itunes (Fully updated) doesn't recognize the change.
It'd be great if someone can help me out as it's very important for me to be able to use my Ipod as disk storage, thanks a lot!

It seems that although i sent my files to the trash bin, Itunes (Fully updated) doesn't recognize the change.
Empty it from the Finder menu or by control-clicking it in the Dock.

  • Unable to delete a file from the downloads list of...

    i am an e7 user. I was recently downloading a couple of videos at the same time when my phone hanged and had to be restarted. When it did restart, most of the files had to be redownloaded. All except one. The downloads list claims that the file has been saved. The video plays bt isnt completely downloaded.
    The problem now is that i cant delete the video through the file manager. The error msg says web:already in use.. When i tried deleting the file from the downloads list of the web browser, there was a similar msg.
    So how do i remove this file from my phone??
    I tried downloading a couple of file managing softwares bt that didnt really help....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Retry after clearing the Browser Cache.. If that does not solve.. Reboot the phone and try again...

  • Unable to delete Acrobat files from PC

    This is a new problem. The Acrobat files cannot be deleted from the Acrobat program, my documents or my downloads files. A popup keeps telling me the files are 'in use' even though no other programs are open. And yes, I've rebooted several times and logged in and out of Adobe CC a few times just to make sure.
    How do I get rid of the *(&&^% files?

    Are these on a network and somehow accessed by other people?
    Are you on a Windows PC and have adminstrator privileges? Because you just might be unable to delete those because the rights have been set somehow. Check the file properties if you have sufficient rights on those files.
    Are there PDF related background tasks and services running which might lock the files?

  • Unable to delete the files from CSV volumes on HyperV Cluster

    Hello There,
    I have a HyperV failover cluster with CSV Volumes recently i moved some of the VMs to another cluster.
    VMs are moved but i still have the VM files on the CSV volumes which are occupying the disk space i tried to delete the VHD files / VM folders which are moved but it doesn't delete the files, please suggest.
    This file when i browse it from  a server and delete the file it disappears but when i revisit the folder i find the files still on the disk, i did try to delete the files directly
    from the server through command line as it is running server core.

    HyperV is good about not allowing you to delete files while they are still in use. You can try to reboot host, make sure all parts if your VM moved to the new location. If that VHD is associated with a VM on any host you will not be able to delete
    it. Delete the VM's that may have links to it. Not knowing you configuration could it be a parent disk?  Be carful because if you can't delete it it's likely in use, I've see VHD merge after you delete a VM too preventing you from deleting the files.
    You may just want to wait a day or so and see if it free's up. If it is doing a merge reboot will pause and restart it so you won't be able to remove until the merge is done, once you delete a VM and a merge starts there is no way to tell if it's merging,
    watch the size and timestamp of the VHD is it changing if it is something is using it.

    }I am unable to delete the file from the temporary location
    some times it is deleting and some times it is not deleting.. I have also tried ...deleteOnExit();

    Make sure you've got no other processes holding onto it (Windows Explorer, for instance) and that you've closed any streams involved with the file. If that fails, try calling System.gc() just before deleting the file. This is a workaround for a bug in certain JVMs on Windows machines

  • Cannot delete files from my ipod shuffle!!!

    I am new to using an ipod and i cannot delete files from my ipod, on itunes, it only shows the license agreement where the ipod files are supposed to be and no matter how many times i uninstall and reinstall itunes and agree to the license agreement i can't access anything else. can anyone help me at all i feel like a complete idiot!

    Pressing return will get past this screen as there is a button at the bottom right of iTunes which you likely cannot see.
    Set your screen resolution to at least 1024x768 to see this button.

  • Transfering Library Data File from iPod

    Lost my computer to a backdoor trojan horse yesterday.
    My Music is on an external harddrive, so no worries there. I saved an old library data file from 2 months ago, but have changed many things since then. Is there anyway to get the library data file on the iPod and transfer it to iTunes?
    I have the library from 2months ago on iTunes, and have the iPod set up on manual mode for the moment. the iPod had the new iTunes 7 version on it.
    Thanks for any help out there.

    Hopefully I made sense in my post. No one knows a way to do this?

  • Since last update, unable to open PDF files from either banking site. The other (IE) works fine but I hate IE. I deleted newer versions and went back to older releases. No help, same thing. Checked settings in options. That is ok. What's up?

    Unable to open PDF files from my banking statements.

    I think almost every dev is on arch-general, so that is the place to contact the group in general.  Specific points can probably be emailed to the dev involved, if one is identifiable and if the bug tracker is not a better place (bug reports to my email get ignored).
    I think the whole problem here is that there is really no dev in charge of that package.  So your emails were probably seen then skipped over by all devs thinking not my problem...  (I know that is true for me).   Then Andrea noticed an "orphan" package that needed updated and went ahead with it without connecting it to your previous emails, which is unfortunate.
    Now our maintainer backend is fixed, hopefully we can get all the orphan packages adopted out, or at least know if we need to bring on new people to maintain them.  That way, there should always be someone who information about specific packages should be sent to.

  • How do you delete files from the iPod?

    i have a 30GB iPod, but i was wondering how you delete music from the iPod? and also is it possible to play the music from the iPod?
    30GB iPod.   Windows XP   30GB iPod.

    There are several methods of deleting songs from the iPod and/or iTunes, and the method you choose depends on the settings you have selected for your iPod.
    If you have the iPod set to automatically transfer songs, and you no longer want a copy of those songs on either the iPod or in iTunes, simply delete the songs in iTunes. Highlight the songs you no longer want then right click and select "clear", or from the edit menu select "clear". Next time you connect the iPod, the songs will be deleted from there also.
    Only do this if you no longer want the songs on both the iPod and your computer.
    You can also use the "only update checked songs" method in the iPod options (right click on the iPod in the source list in iTunes and select options, then select "only update checked songs"). With this preference checked, you can remove the check mark from the songs in iTunes that you no longer want on the iPod. The next time you connect the iPod, those unchecked songs will be removed from the iPod whilst still being retained in iTunes. You can check and uncheck songs as you change your mind about what songs you want to put on the iPod. Songs that have no check mark against them will be skipped over when played back in iTunes.
    If you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, or click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit menu as previously mentioned.
    This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.
    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, all these settings can be found in the summary screen.
    If you want to delete everything from the iPod and completely erase the hard drive and start from scratch, then you can restore the iPod to factory settings.
    Only do this if you have the songs in your iTunes library, or a back up somewhere other than the iPod itself.
    To play music from an iPod through iTunes, you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
    This will make the songs on the iPod accessible and playable.

  • How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

    How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
    The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine.  iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so.  Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost.  The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there.  There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch.  How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore?  HELP...

    Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
    You can restore from an existing backup

  • Unable to download pdf files from websites

    For a month now I have been unable to dowload PDF Files from websites.
    I have un-installed Adobe Software & re-installed hoping this would solve
    this on going problem. But I am afraid it has not this problem seems to
    have accured since the latest up date of Sarfari I trust Apple are coming up with
    some sort of solution to this current problem ??

    Far as I know the problem isn't on Apple's end. I'm download PDF files with no problem. But I've experienced what you are in the past and I think you were on the right track when you suspected Adobe. In the main Library folder (not the one in your personal directory) there's a folder called Internet Plugins. Look inside for a file called AdobePDFViewer and delete it. If I remember properly, you force Adobe Reader to install a new one by just starting Reader and it will ask if you want to install the PDF reader. Or, you might want to look at this plugin which, in my opinion, beats Adobe's plugin hands down.
