Updated iPod to iso 6.0 and memory now takes up too much space to do a restore from backup ?

I just updated to iso 6.0 and my iPods usage now has 3.2 GB of space used by "other" and I have none of my apps on it or music ect. But it won't allow me to put my stuff back on the iPod because when I try to restore from backup it says I don't have enough space. I don't have contacts or anything on my iPod so what's other and how do I get rid of it. I jus want my iPod how it was cause its useless now cause I have nothing on it and I can't put my apps and music back on it?

An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" included corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

I just bought an ipad air and the versions of both itunes and icloud on it are too old to be able to restore from backup. why would apple do this if it is not supported???

should I set it up as a new device?

I haven't done it. But if you set it up as new, just long enough to be able to update the operating system. Then go in and 'erase all content and settings'. This puts your iPad back to its out of box state, just not the operating system. You can then set your iPad up again, but this time you restore it from the backup of your old one.

I was copying files to my time capsule when it crashed when it was almost finished. Now I am stuck with a light grey folder I can not delete. I would´t care if it wasn´t for the fact the folder is 1 TB size and takes up too much space. I have tried turning on and of Hiding Files in Finder and what not with no success. So, how do I delete this folder. Remember, I am not extremely familiar with technical terms.

I recommend you erase the TC.. it is the easiest and fastest solution.
In Airport utility open the disk tab and select erase.. choose quick erase.. it will take less than 1min.
Start again but copy files in small amounts.

How do I remove the Icons next to each bookmark on the bookmark toolbar? They take up too much space and all the bookmarks I need on the toolbar dont show up.

On my bookmarks toolbar, each bookmark has the associated webpage icon next to it. I would like to remove those icons, as they take up too much space.
Thanks

The icons, if you are familiar with them or they are obvious, take up less space than the words. You can abbreviate the names down to next to nothing or even nothing.
To save space and help organization you can group bookmarks into folders on your Bookmarks toolbar.

I don't want my music on my iPad as it takes up too much space, but I do want it on my iPhone and iPod touch. How do it prevent it from going to iPad?

How do I get my music only on my IPhone and iPod touch, but keep it off my iPad.

If you're talking about stopping music purchased from the iTunes store automatically downloading to your iPad, go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and under Automatic Downloads and turn Music to Off. If your talking about syncing with iTunes, just uncheck Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings before syncing your iPad.

How can I remove the icons from my personal toolbar (I don't need them, words are fine, and they take up too much space)?

I shorten the names of sites in the properties box to allow me to get a lot of them in my toolbar, and they no longer fit because of all the icons. Personally, I hate icons and don't understand why everyone has trouble with words, a trusted and highly refined technology of identifiers.

How do I remove/delete the loops I've downloaded? I don't use them and they are taking up too much space on my hard drive.

I wanted to see what was in the loops folders but now will never use them and I need the space.

Yes, I am logged in as the administrator. When I drag a loop to the trash it does nothing. The trash doesn't recoginize the item as trash and doesn't pop up and say trash like it does when I drag items from other programs to the trash.

How do i identify all RAW photos in my Mac and have them removed - taking too much space.

I have a Macbook Air and I keep getting message that I'm out of space. i have emptied the trash but no difference. I believe it is the photos - I have impoted quite a bit of RAW photo files - how do i identify them and then delete them. I dont want to have 2 formats of the same photos.

The process is simple - but tedious.
Select the photos and export them, saving them as Jpegs.
Trash the Library. Make a new one. Import the Jpegs.
Alternatively: move the Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're intent on trashing the Raws, you have a couple of bigger questions to consider: why are you shooting raw if you're going to trash them? Why are you using iPhoto, which is designed for a non-destructive workflow, if you want a destrucutve one?

Can I downsize my pics as they are too large to email several at a time and take up too much space

I want to make slideshows or powerpoints that I can email. My pics are so large 4 MB and up, i would like to downsize them closer to 600 KB ...can i do that on I Photo?

Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

How do I stop iPhoto from identifying faces. It is a pain and takes up too much space on my computer!!!

Every time I open up iphoto, new faces are generated. In fact I delete these "faces files" and they come back! Help me to stop this insanity. It is a very bad feature of iphoto.

These faces are appearing in the iPhoto Window ?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Can i get rid of the app game center? I never use it and it takes up too much space from my iPos touch.

HELP!!

As I answered the "owner" of this thread:
Note, when you open Customize that Bookmarks button will probably appear on the right-side of the Navigation bar - '''NOT ON THE BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR''', directly above where it normally appears on the Bookmarks Toolbar - that is normal when in the Customize mode.
You were dragging the '''''Bookmarks Toolbar Items''''', which is the "container" for the Bookmarks Toolbar folder.
