Why do my photos on my computer take up 5.5 GB but syncing them to my iPod Touch they take up around 15 GB, and why can I only select one folder to sync, and not multiple folders?

I have wiped the iPod a few times and tried from different computers. All the small things get more frustrating every day with apple.

The Camera roll, on the iPod Touch, is where photos taken by the iPod (if it has a camera), screenshots and downloaded pictures are stored. Since they have "originated" on the iPod they are not on your computer - yet. So the total size of the photos on your iPod (in your case 15GB) will be made up of photos you have synced from your computer (5.5GB) and the Camera Roll of 9.5GB.
In the Photos App, notice the line named Photo Library (I mentioned it in my previous post). That folder contains all the photos synced form your computer. If there is an extra line above the Photo Library, named Saved Photos, this is the Camera Roll and it is where those screenshots, downloaded pictures and camera shots are listed.
Cruicially, if you ever need to Restore your iPod, the Camera Roll (Saved Photos) will be deleted, so you may wish to save the contents of the Camera Roll onto your computer. My method is; when the iPod is connected to iTunes, look in My Computer for an extra drive (it should show an iPod icon) and copy them from there to a folder on my computer. If I want them on your iPod, I paste them into one of the folders I intend to use for Syncing with the iPod. Once they have been successfully saved, I can go back the My Computer/the iPod and delete them from the Camera Roll.

I set an alarm with Siri. Can she only set one at a time, and how can I see/cancel it?

Title. I set an alarm, then shortly after asked her to set another alarm.
1) are both alarms in effect?
2) where can I see/cancel them? It says it can't modify or delete them.

Go to the Clock app and see if they are listed. I just set two via Siri on my iPad and both are listed. I can turn them off or deleted (via edit button) the alarms.

Why can i only select one LUN for repository creation from the list of LUNs

1) have successfully created a server pool with heartbeat/cluster lun of 15GB storage
2) Now trying to create repositories for VMs - Unable to select more then 1LUN per repository - we have a requirement of over 14TB and have 1TB per LUN does this mean we will require 14 repositories??? Please help
Thanks in advance

right....It seems as though we will have to have 1TB LUNs per Repository, one question that comes to mind is that is it possible for a single VM to use more then one repository any ideas... ??
so for example if a VM needs to utilise remaining free space from a LUN is this possible or if a VM needs a bigger partition then 1TB can we use 2 x repositories to build this partition?? as we have max 1TB LUNs from storage.
Or will we have to request a amendment to the size of LUNs to increase to 2TB from storage? 2TB being max supported to a repository

Respond please!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcude synced media like apps and music. Those items should be in your iTunes library.

He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be erased. Previously, this was not. When starting to sync music, it did not touch my programs, and now because of this music can not be transferred to iPods. PANIC AT ME! HELP

If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:

I want to get another 4s and use it not as a phone, but only as a video camera and editor and hook it up only with wifi. i would sync it to itunes so i can pay for apps and upload. would this work, or must it be connected to a phone carrier?

Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
CCC will do the rest.
If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library, but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself? any help?

Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes?
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab. Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

sonnay, are you also in South Africa like the original poster whose message you tacked onto?
A lot of countries only have app store, no music or video stores. Because of copyright laws that are different between every nation. Stupid, that the laws are different, but that's the way it is.

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks, any ideas please?

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?

If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu.
