Why do iPod photos take up more GB space than iPhoto photos?

I sync all of my iPhoto photos to my iPod; the entire library is 1.1GB. Even though I have not checked "include full resolution photos", my iPod photos take up over 1.8GB. How does this make sense? It seems to me that since I am not putting on full resolution (mine are 2-3MB each, 3072x2304 jpg), that the photos on the iPod should be 320x240 (screen resolution), and those should not take up much space at all. Here is a list of the files under Photos/Thumbs on my iPod.
F1015_1.ithmb
F1019_1.ithmb (this file has not been modified since Jan 2007, and was created and last opened Oct 2006; it is 500.3MB, which is exactly the size of the 2 files below this one!)
F1019_2.ithmb
F1019_3.ithmb
F1019_4.ithmb
F1024_1.ithmb
F1036_1.ithmb
All of the rest of the files were modified and opened today, since I synced today.
I already tried removing all of the iPod photos, then re-syncing them. Do I need to reformat my iPhoto library, or my iPod library, or something else? thanks

I've had this problem too.
For instance, I copied one particular albums artwork on each of it's 14 mp3's. To do this, I highlighted all of the files in iTunes and right clicked and hit Get Info. Then, I clicked and drug the file (from My Computer) and dropped it into the "Artwork" window.
I started with 67mb of space. After I added the images to the songs, I had 37mb of space left. *The image file was only 14kb!*
Why does it take up so much space? Has anybody posted a solution to this problem?

Why does Magic Mouse use much more battery power than the keyboard?

I have the Bluetooth versions of the keyboard and the Magic Mouse. I use the same rechargeable batteries in each. Yet the mouse has now come to the end of a THIRD set of AAs, while the keyboard still has 60% of its first set.
Why? They are both constantly in use, so why does the Mouse drain batteries so much faster than the keyboard? Viz: the mouse about once a week (two, max), while at this rate, it will be another month or more before the keyboard drains.

Actually I don't! I consider myself a 'power user' in that I will always use the keyboard first, and I learn keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything I do regularly.
I would guess my use is 50:50 at worst?

My HD icon on the desktop is showing far more free space than I actually have.

I use a 2011 17" MBP with OS X Lion (750GB HD, 8GB RAM, 2.2GHz i7) and have noticed recently (only since I bought the new OS) that the Hard Drive icon on my desktop shows far more free space available than I know I have. It shows 488GB free of 497GB (with 250GB on a partition for Windows 7 Enterprise) and I know I have about 250-300GB worth of stuff. I've checked several times to ensure it's still there and all my files still work so it doesn't seem to be deleting things randomly. I just want to know if it's a calculation bug or if there's something else wrong. Thanks for any help in advance!

In case anyone reads this wondering if there's a solution, there is: turn off automatic time machine backups, and restart your computer. It turns out I had about 80GB worth of data stacking up between physical backups to external HDs. Apparently it counts as free space because it can be over-written when necessary, hence an elated free space count.
I also did a disk repair on the partition which OS X is on, which fixed some "minor logging issues" but I don't think that made a difference because nothing happened until I cleared the backup cache by turning off time machine. By the way, once I turned off time machine my HD free space sky-rocketed to 576GB of 497GB which freaked me out but don't worry, this is fixed once you restart.

Why does my itunes say "no more free space is available" when i try to autofill? i know i have songs that are new and not in ,y ipod.

please please PLEASE help me! im trying to get my no doubt CD into my iPod.. i know someone out there must know how i feel. and my itunes wont let me because it says i have no space.. when the truth is, i checked, and i have like 1 g left. if anyone out there has a heart, please help a young girl out!

Why has no one replied to this question (asked loads of times by different people) Whats the solution!!!!!! Help!!!!

Why does the creative cloud cost more in Australia than US

The Aussie dollar is currently stronger than the USD and heas been for 12 months, why do we have to pay a 25% premium over US customers for an online service that shouldn't be affected by shipping or import taxes?

John, I'm not "they"
I am also charged more than others.
I tried to make a reasonable assumption about one of the elements that can explain the price difference. (If the Adobe local offices are separate legal entities)
Another thing to keep in mind is that they cannot stick to the exact conversion rate: if they are very close to it, they would sell at loss when the rate changes... (I was able to get a MBP for the price of a MacBook when the Sterling Pound made a dive compared to the Euro in 2008.) I guess that they set a confortable buffer, and try to stick to it (otherwise, prices would change often, creating confusion and anger to their customers and resellers.)
Maybe that if we add all the parts, a chunk of the price difference can be explained. Then, the rest is "explained" by the fact that Adobe is not a non-profit company.
I sure would want to pay less...
Peter, we can all make assumptions that can explain part of the price difference, and I'm sure we have read all of these guesses in these forums over the years. I think that if you add them all up, you will never come to the actual surcharges.
You say Maybe that if we add all the parts, a chunk of the price difference can be explained. Then, the rest is "explained" by the fact that Adobe is not a non-profit company. I see it the other way around: The price difference is explained by the fact that Adobe is not a non-profit company. The charge what they do because they can an they know they'll get it, as John says.
Pity that Adobe does not seem to realize how much this policy encourages piracy in countries where the average salaries are way, way below the price of any of their products. In my opinion, sales would probably increase in those contries if they charged reasonable prices. Although it may be too late in places where piracy has become in practice a not-frowned-upon practice.

You iPod is broken. It appears it is more than the screen and maybe more than the battery.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for a 64 GB on and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

Does anyone know why my iPod Touch 5G battery drains in less than 4 hours?

Hello fellow Apple users. I am having battery issues with my iPod Touch 5G. It's only 6 months old and already the battery is draining quickly. It used to last me around 9-10 hours on a single, full charge (on iOS 6) Playing with games didn't affect the battery very much, so I'm assuming there's a battery bug with iOS 7? If not, may I please hear your suggestions?

You may want to poke around in notifications. There's a ton of stuff defaulted to on that you may not need. As well as background app refresh and background app update. When those are on your iPad regularly reaches out to get more info and that can affect your battery.

Oracle taking 3 times more disk spaces than MySQL for BLOBs?

Hello there,
We have been migrating one big about 8 TB MySQL table into Oracle 11g R2. The table contains biometric data in 18 BLOB columns - it's a kind of storage table for all biometric information in the form of BLOB. The avg. row length is about 140KB. We had a rough estimation - it might take about 12 TB of disk spaces after migrating the thing into Oracle. We planned to put this table in a 32K bock size tablespace. The table contains about 85 million records.
After we finished loading the data, we discovered that about 20 millions of records already consumed more than 7 TB of disk spaces! In this fashion, we might end up with consuming 30TB of disk spaces after loading the 85 million of records. The only thing at this moment I am thinking about is to reduce the PCTFREE parameter to 2% instead of 10% - the records will be very rarely updated. This will save about 2TB of disk spaces from that 30TB, I guess.
On top of your head, do you have any quick thoughts about the possible reasons of such abnormal (?) disk consumption - it is taking about 3 times more disk than MySQL database. What would be the best way to debug the problem - where to look at?
FYI- All the storage parameters of the table has been kept default - just mentioned the tablespace name while created the table. We have been using SQL*Loader with DIRECT mode to load the data.
Thanks for your cooperation!
Regards.

Hi,
We are using the old BLOB - and not compressed yet.
The machine is not remotely accessible, I will get the DDL later on.
FYI, we did not mention any storage option for the table except the tablespace name. Earlier, I looked at the dba_lobs, dba_segments, dba_extents and had the following few information -
* All the blob columns has "initial_extent" 163840 [from dba_segments]
* Block allocation gradually increased, not uniform (extent_id 1 -> blocks 2, ... extent_id 14 -> blocks 32... extent_id 77 -> blocks 256... extent_id 938 -> blocks 2048 [from dba_extents]
* CHUNK is 32768 for all lob segments
* RETENTION is 900
* No value for PCTVERSION
Thanks for your time!

Usage reports more free space, than iTunes but music sync update fails for lack of space

32 GB iPod touch 5th generation IOS 8.3
Settings -> General -> Usage (Storage) says Used 17.1GB Available 10.3GB
itunes 12.1.2.27 says 6.15 GB free
Attempt to sync a music update - results in message(s) saying
"unable to add song ... not enough space"
I can understand some free space is need for overhead but

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Is it possible to have my navigation bar on the side? I see where a sidebar can have the bookmarks, but I don't see how to get the navigation bar to be on the side. I want more vertical space than horizontal so that pages appear longer.

Running Win7

I don't know if there is an extension that can place the location bar in the sidebar.<br />
You can look at the Autohide extension if you need more room.

Finder showing more available space than my drive has

My finder window is showing that my 500GB drive on my new MB Air has 662 GB of free space available. I like that math, but obviously there is a problem. In reality, I should only show about 150 GB available.
Disk Utility shows the correct used/free space, so why is finder so off?
Interestingly enough, this is a replacement MBA because I had issues with my original one including Finder showing LESS available, than I actually had. I Never had these problems in Snow Leopard on my MBP. Any suggestions?

Turn off Time Machine in its preference pane. Wait a few seconds, then turn it back on. You may need to relaunch the Finder or log out to see the effect.
