Why do I need 45.6GB free on my iPod 160GB to be able to synch my podcasts and audiobooks?

Previously when synching my iPod 160 the capacity bar on would always show a large amount 'over' after clicking 'Apply' to apply changes made during podcast/audiobook selection. However, today it went over, but refused to synch stating that I had 23GB too much in my iTunes folder to allow for synching. After some mucking about I deleted about 30GB off my iPod and it will now synch. But I now have 45.6GB free and my regular updating of files is going to be much more annoying as I can't, as far as I know keep podcasts on different update/archiving settings. I.e. Some I only want new episodes for, others I want the entire archive.
An answer to either question would be appreciated. The synching issue with overflow prior to synch as been with me since iTunes 9 something or other, so it's not a version issue, but the overflow only became a problem today or yesterday, and it wasn't the iTunes update that did it (I only performed that today when I was struggling with this issue).

I am experiencing the exact same issue. It says my phone storage is full but its not. And all of my apps crash when I try to open them. I can't back up my phone via itunes or icloud.

you don't need a cc subscription to use the purchased copy.
download the installation file and use your serial number to activate when given the licensing option during installation. you should install 5.7 instead of installing 5.0 and updating.

I called apple tech support cause my iphone 5 charger just stopped working. Aplle tech support said they can send me a new charger but why do they need credit card information if i have only had the the charger for 2 months and i have 1 year warranty?

I called apple support because my iphone 5 charger stopped working and they said they would send me a new charger but why do they need credit card information if every apple product has 1 year warranty?

Hi CryyCorr33
Sound like they did what is called an express replacment. What apple does is they put a hold on your Credit Card for the amount of the cord because they are sending you the cord first. Then, once you receive the new cord in about 2-3 days, you'll put the defective cord in the box and ship it back out and when they receieve the defective one, they'll be able to remove that hold from you card.
I believe the reason behind the hold on your card is incase you don't return your defective one to them so they can find out the cause of the issue.
An Apple Retail Store could swap them out for you in store incase you happen to be near one. This requires no hold.
Hope this helps

I'm trying to manually sync my music to my iPhone but it needs so much free space

I used to be synced to a different iTunes on a different computer. Now that I have my own laptop with my on music library I'm trying to sync it to my phone. I have to do it manually because I don't have enough space on my phone to sync my entire music library. But every time I try to sync it, it will tell me that it's unable to sync because it needs "at least 3.something more GB of space in order to sync" and every time I unselect an artist it will say it needs more space until I have barely any of my music selected. Why does it need so much free space? Like it requires approx 5GB of free space in order to sync my music and I don't understand why. I've never had this issue before. I even imported all of my pictures to my laptop so I could delete them to make room for my music. Please help me.

Hi there Sarbunn,
You may find the information in the article below helpful if there is not enough free space on your device to sync.

Growl is a third party utiltiy for manipulating parts of the OS and displaying "notifications". It sounds like you once had it installed. To remove go here...

Do you need 60GB of free space?

Sorry if this has already been asked.
If I buy a 60GB iPOD, do I need 60GB of free space on my computer to be able to fill up my iPOD? If I only have 40GB free on my computer, tben will I only be able to put 40GB of music and video on my iPOD?
Thanks
Allan

you don't have to keep stuff on your computer's HDD after downloading to the iPod. hence, one of the benefits of having more space on your pod.
A few words of caution if you choose to do this. BACK UP YOUR LIBRARY TO SOME SORT OF EXTERNAL MEDIA! Backup to CD, DVD, external hard drive, tape... something. Do NOT rely on your iPod as your single repository for your music.
At some point, your iPod may need to be restored, and if it is the only place you have your music, you will lose it.

Why does m4v need to be converted again

Hi. I converted a dvd movie I bought into the ipod format .m4v using another converting software program I have. I then imported it into the videos section of my itunes. It would not load into my ipod unless i convertd it again using the itunes conver for ipod option. Why does this need to be converted again for ipod if its already in a .m4v and is there any way i can fix this so when im originally converting my movie with my converting software I can eliminate this last step in itunes. It takes up to 5 hours to convert in itunes. thanks

I should also add that I am using a AVS video converter which has an IPod 5.5 converting option that makes my movies Highest available quality H.264, 30fps 640x480
There are more Ipod options availble but im using the Highest quality available one. Maybe I should be using one of these:
ipod 5x- NTFS Standard quality H.264 29.97fps, 320X240
ipod 5x- PAL standard quality H.264 24fps, 320X240
ipod 5x- low quality H264., 20fps, 320X240
ipod 5x - Best quality (MPEG4, 24fps, 320X240)
ipod 5x- economy quality (MPEG4, 20fps, 176X144)
ipod 5x- for tv output (MPEG4, 24fps, 512X384)

Users can obtain the iWorks and iLife applications free, if they purchased a Mac after the beginning of October 2013.
Older Mac purchases require a paid purchase of these applications.

Why do i need to enter the credit card information for downloading free apps and redeem the codes?

getting a message says apple id has not yet been used with the itunes store while trying to download apps

As a security precaution, Apple verifies your billing credentials with every transaction whether paid or free apps or using the balance of a redeemed code.

Why do I need a credit card number on file to download free apps?

I've had this itunes account for several years. The last CC that I had on file for making purchases has been lost (and reported as such). So, obviously my payment information regarding that card is no longer valid and I can no longer make purchases. Understandable.
I am, however, still waiting for a new card to be sent to me before I can go in an update the information.
What is boggling me is that when I attempt to download updates or other free applications, itunes (on my phone) keeps asking me to sign in and provide payment information (which I do not have). It will not let me download any free apps or updates without it.
1. Why?
2. How do people who use gift cards or paypal use this function on their iphone/itouch? (or, really anyone who either doesn't have a CC or doesn't want to use it). There's GOT to be a way when I see other people walking around with their iphones/itouches dl'ing free apps just presumably without a linked credit card on their account. Right?
I know all I really need to do is wait for my card and update my info when it gets here, but there are some pretty important updates that I kind of need now.

You can create an App store account without a credit card, however that won't help you with updating your previous purchases. Apps are DRM protected, and tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. There is no way to overcome this DRM protection or transfer them to another account(Itunes support can if you contact them). If you want to create an App store account without a credit card, follow the directions here, but bear in mind the DRM protection mentioned. If you use this account to download free apps, you will have to use this same account for all future updates:

Why do apple need to use my credit number when downloading free apps ?

im about to download a free app - as i have done many times before
and now itunes needs my creditcard info to be correct .. why ? its supposed to be free ?
well i filled the forms with a correct credit card number (my mastercard) and still no result - itunes tells med i should enter a valid payment method
it seems i cant download freee apps when theres not any money on my bank account ? well well ..
can someone tell me why ?

Apple wants you to risk your number out on the internet maybe, they don't care about customers. They state that it is for validation of your account, but this make no sense as you already have entered a username and password, which seems to work fine on any other site. They basically want your wallet to be held hostage, even for updating already installed apps (this should make you think). This is bad in my book, and I think Apple should change this action ASAP. It is not right and they know it, but greed seems to be the game for them I guess. You should not have to risk your credit card number being transmitted across the internet just to update or install a free app. Android market place does not do things this way.
Just Sad how this is

Why do I need to verify my credit card info if an App is free?

Why do I need to have a valid credit card in my Apple Account if an App is free? For example I have been trying to download the free app to Google Earth to my iPad2. I really want to just delete my credit card except for those few times when I buy something. I don't want it on my iPad2 all the time. I know there is a way to do this as the woman at the Apple store did it for me, but now I don't know what steps she took.
Thanks very much.

Because even a free app is recorded as and is considered a purchase for accounting purposes. You receive an email receipt for the free purchase or download, etc.
Your credit card on file is not on your iPad all the time. It is stored on Apple's iTunes servers only. No one that uses your iPad or that has access to your iPad in the even it were lost or stolen can't access your credit card number and other required info in order to use it. In order to download a free or paid app, you must manually enter your iTunes account password, which no one else knows or should not know.

WHY DO APPLE NEED CREDIT CARD TO LOAD FREE OS ?

Why do i need to fill up oodels of pages to load yesemite and why do i need a credit card for load a free OS ?
Is there yesemite in some other place than Apple when apple seems not be able to provide service to customers ?

I will move to other OS then ... Apple should stop saying its free if i need to pay to visa , master card or amex 50 dollars to load it ... i would have paypal account but its not an option .... apple can keep their phone help lines
You don't have to pay anything for it. The credit card will not be charged at all when you download Yosemite. The credit card is required to establish the account at the App Store, not to actually purchase Yosemite. You seem incapable of understanding the difference.

Why do you need to put credit card details in to the app store when you may want to simply obtain free items in the beginning?

Apple clearly is a leader and thankfully are bringing fantastic products and initiatives to the market.
I certainly hope that the company doesn't get arrogant like it seems to do when forcing people trying to get free apps to put in credit card details.
I suspect it wouldn't be too much work to allow users to try it out first by using some free apps and when they are personally ready they can purchase to their little hearts desire.
Poor showing from this perspecitive and easy to fix.

Never put your credit card info into iTunes as Apple credit card security is horrible. There are many cases of credit card problems with Apple. My credit card was compromised 2 weeks after creating an Apple account. That was the ONLY online usage of my credit card.
Apple does NOT follow PCI compliance which is the credit card industry standards for credit card data protection. It requires all companies to NOT store credit card information online because (surprise, surprise Apple!) it can be hacked.
Why does Apple need to store the credit card data and put the information at risk and why do they not follow industry (PCI Compliance) guidelines - especially for free aps or updates?
