What's the "other" portion of the capacity at the bottom of iTunes?

I have an ipod touch and every time I sync it I have to unselect songs because the "other" capacity is so full. Any advice on how to lessen the amount? And exactly what is in this area of my iPod?

If the "other" is significantly bigger than about 100 MB (normal for the Touch), then you probably have a database problem. I've had that a couple times before. Basically, the database has "forgotten" about some of those songs that are there, but they're still there taking up space.
It's a bit of a pain to have to do this because it takes so long, but do a Restore (overnight) and it'll fix it right up. A restore erases what's on there and forces it to redo the database.

What is the problem with Itunes 11.0.1.12 and adding music to the Library?

What is the problem with Itunes 11.0.1.12 and adding music to the Library? I had no problems when I updated, just had to get used to the new format and appearance. Added a few albums here and there, and then today I can't get anything in the Library. I've always just dragged and dropped my music with no problems. I've had an Ipod for the last six years and never encountered any big problems with Itunes or my various Ipods.

Why is this Itunes such a pile of junk? If I restart my computer I can sometimes find the recently added music in my Itunes Library.
It would be nice to know if other people are having the same problems.

Infinity not coming to Cabinet. What's the bottom ...

Hi guys,
I've known BT Infinity is coming to our exchange for quite a while now and since it's supposedly accepting orders from 1st Sept (I know this is an estimate), I decided to check the cabinets on dslcheck.bt.com. It seems ours is the only one not getting upgraded. I have to admit, we're quite a way out and the cabinet doesn't provide many houses with broadband. However, it's still a massive downer as we were all pretty excited. Weirdly, when I put in our postcode (which on a map takes us a couple of hundred meters away from the house) it says the FTTC, so it must be coming relatively close. Anyway, what I really want to know is, what's the bottom line? Is it possible to request a cabinet to be upgraded or is it just too much work to upgrade a cabinet (out of interest could someone explain what actually gets done when they upgrade a cabinet)?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mackey18,
If your exchange area is being upgraded via the Openreach Superfast broadband Commercail scheme then your cabinet may not be included in the current scheme for many reasons eg not commercially viable, planning issues, ect. You can try email [email protected] with your landline number, address, postcode and pcp (cabinet) number to see of there is any plans or your cabinet.
If your exchange area is being upgraded with superfast broadband via your local council/authority's BDUK scheme then your will need to contact your council for more information.
Hope that helps,
Cheers

I want to buy an Ipad from AT&T. What is the difference from Itunes?

I want to buy an Ipad from AT&T, but need to know what is the difference from Itunes?

Apple manufacturers all of iPads no matter where they are sold. An iPad purchased from AT&T is no different than a like device purchased from Apple.

HT201209 What is the difference between iTunes Gift Card & iTunes Digital Code?

What is the difference between iTunes Gift Card & iTunes Digital Code?

iTunes gift cards are cards that you can purchase in the Apple Store or authorized retail store. After redeeming an itunes gift card, your account should have some store credits that is equal to the worth of the gift card that you redeemed. It's as good as money in the store.
An iTunes digital code is a code that comes with a specific item when you redeem it. You do not have any choices for the item that you will get for the code. It can be a movie code or a video code.

What is the usage of itunes app in the IPAD?

I understand that itunes is required in the pc in order to transfer the files on IPAD/ Iphone. Thus, it is required in PC.
My question is why itunes app is required in the IPAD? What is the utility of itunes app in the ipad. It's utility in the PC is well understood, but I am not sure about it's utility in the IPAD - the itunes app in the IPAD.

iTunes on an iPad is just the iTunes store - it allows you to buy and download (and potentially redownload) music, films and TV programmes directly on an iPad without needing to use a computer to buy and sync the purchases. Similarly there is an App Store app on iOS devices for buying/downloading apps directly on the device.

What is the matter with ITunes Store

What is the problem with iTunes store. Lately I can't get past the front page. When I use either of the 2 drop down menus to move over to the classical or jazz or popular it never goes anywhere but remains on the front page with the annoying banners moving across my screen. Can't seem to access the store. I can't even access the support page from ITunes, had to open Apple ITunes Support from my browser. I am posting here because maybe I will get a quicker response or attention from someone at the iTunes store who maybe pays attention to these community pages.

What is the bottom centre icon when viewing an open email iphone 5

What is the bottom centre icon when viewing an open email iphone 5

Uncadon,
Sounds like a Gmail archive icon. "When you archive a message, it moves to the All Mail folder. It does not delete it from the Gmail account. Archive replaces all delete options when using a Gmail account, including using the Trash icon while viewing a message and selecting Edit to manage multiple messages. You can disable this feature in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Gmail Account > Archive Messages:"

Wow! What is the deal with iTunes?

Ever since I upgraded to Leopard, iTunes has been incredibly flaky. It just stops playing songs! Crazy. Very annoying. Tonight, out of the blue, my airport express will show a low signal and iTunes will say there has been some error connecting to my remote speakers. I guess I can see an error with the wireless connection, although it has never happened before, but the deal with iTunes just stopping a song mid stream is really crazy. Very random. Man I should have stuck with Tiger. All sorts of strangeness happening with Leopard, even though I erased and installed. Any thoughts?

Is there a way to tell how many gigabytes my music in iTunes 11 has? It used to be on the bottom of itunes but is no longer there...

I downloaded Itunes to my macbook and I am looking for a way to tell how much space my itunes takes up. In the old itunes it told you on the bottom of the player what amount of space your music libray took up. Is there a way to do this with the new itunes?

Thank you for the feedback. If you have any other questions, please
start a new thread and some one will answer.

How can i add the status bar to the bottom of iTunes 11.4?

In the past, on Itunes 11.0, when I opened the program, there would be a bar on top that would read, "File, Edit, View, Controls, Store,Help" and below , a status bar that would tell me the number of tracks in a playlist and duration, "7 Songs, 28:20 Total Time, 51 MB"
Those controls/status bars are gone in the new 11.4 edition of iTunes.
Any idea how to bring them back?
many thanks!

Use the View menu to show the status bar.

I am having trouble importing files from file sharing in the same household. I have followed the tutorials but do not have the tab at the bottom of Itunes "Import to library"

When I go to file sharing on Itunes, I am unable to import files to my itunes. I can play them, but am unable to move them to my library. I have been through the tutorial and when I get to "show menu at the bottom of library" there is no menu. I do not have the tab "items not in my library" or "import" I have been through the upper tab and see no option in the view menu and have also consolidated the files. Any suggestions?

Error code -36 is an i/o error. That usually means that the computer is having a problem reading or writing the file you're working with, which in turn usually means that the drive has a problem. A sudden slowdown of the magnitude you meantion usually means a severely damaged directory or physical damage to the disk. I'd run a disk fixer such as Disk Utility or Disk Warrior on the slow drive. If it reports problems which can't be fixed, which I suspect it will, I'd back everything up. I just had a LaCie 250GB drive die on me with similar problems (i/o errors, very slow access) and returned it under the warranty.

Can't see the bottom of itunes page

When I open iTunes I can only see the bottom of the itunes page when I open it as a full page screen. Are there any ways I can change this?
Many thanks.

James,
Try moving (click and drag) the bar at the bottom of the playlists up making that area smaller. The songs should show up under it.
Hope this helped!

How can I bookmark, in iTunes, so that the songs I play and then stop in middle of song then come back later - it will start where I left off. What is the switch in iTunes to make this happen? Thank You

In iTunes I would like to set it to bookmark where I am holding in a song on my iPOD. Let's say I want to play a song that I listen to yesterday and stopped playing it in the middle on my iPOD. Today, I want to listen, on my iPOD, to the same song and have it start playing where I left off yesterday.
Can someone please tell me what I have to do in iTUNES to have this feature on my iPOD?
Thank You
Dovid

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.
