Why does my 5s show over capacity but 3gb free space

My itunes library currently has 21gb of music and the status bar for my iphone says music is 20gb. I want to sync the extra 1gb and I have 3gb free space after apps etc but when I try to sync it says I need an additional 19gb which is baffling. when I click on the "on this iphone" tab it shows as having no apps no tones no books and only one song but obviously my phone is full of data but not to capacity. I really want to listen to my new music any ideas on how to fix this?
Im running the latest itunes and 7.04 on my iphone on windows 7 64bit.

Please read this article for how to go about syncing music using itunes.

It sounds as if to me you are attempting to sync OVER what has already been synced. Not really possible but I suppose anything can be done if trying hard enough. Please carefully look over the area which discuesses syncing either the entire library or selected artist, playlists or genresl.
Good luck

Iphone shows 1gb and itunes 3gb free space

Why is that my iphone storage shows that I only have 1GB free but when I sync it through itunes shows that there's 3GB free space on my iphone. Where does the 2GB goes? Because I really need those 2GB space on my iphone cause the last update took a lot of space so I can't even download apps or keep my photos and keep deleting them Please help.

Yes, I see the same thing with my iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.2.1 (also never jailbroken), although I’ve seen this for a while with previous iOS releases, maybe even before iTunes 10. I see variations anywhere from 500MB to 2GB or more during the sync.
At the end of the sync, the amount of free space reported by iTunes matches what the iPhone says, but it’s still strange — is there space being taken up by something that could be freed up?

SLOW MAC: Why does my mac run faster during the "erase free space" operation?

Hi community!
So I've been using my Macbook Pro Late 2012 edition for just over a year and a half now, and to no surprise, I find the spinning beachball whirling away more often than I'd care to see it. So I start a full mac clean-up including deleting login items, using Appzapper to clear up my apps, using Onyx to clear up some cache elements, deleting unused files and freeing up hard drive space.
I've successfully cleared over 60% of disk space, (200GB used, 300GB free), but I find a recurring problem persisting, despite my best efforts to get rid of it. You see, every few seconds, the spinning beach ball appears and freezes up my entire desktop no matter what I'm doing. Trying even the simplest things, like opening the apps in the dock or right clicking a file takes ages, movies freeze up all the time, regardless of what app plays them, finder is slow and it has nothing to do with my ram usage (I use the app FreeMemory to check in real-time how much I'm using) or my CPU usage (Activity monitor open at all times). It has to be the drive.
So then I tried running ClamXav, and found a windows trojan, which I deleted manually, but no change.
Now, during all these stages I was regularly running erase free space opeartions (Fast x1), and noticed something curious: during the operation, my problem disappears. I still get occasional loading beach balls, and ocassional jumps in movies, but other than that, I can use my mac normally again.
So now, I'm constantly running erase free space operations and it's painfully annoying to say the least.
I've tried defragging, to no avail.
I had the problem on Mountain Lion, and upgraded to Mavericks thinking that could change it (by the way it took 18 hours to install mavericks, don't know if that's related).
In other words, I need your help. Does anybody know if I've no choice but to buy an external hardrive, backup my data, and erase my entire homedrive? Can this situation still be salvaged?
Thanks!

Why does mail app show over 2,000 messages (not new) but only 10-12 in my inbox?

So I recenly got a new rMBP and have begun using the Mail app. I've had a bunch of problems with Gmail and the app but my my biggest gripe is that it seems to have downloaded over 2,000 messages from the server (of which I have no idea where its getting them because I've deleted pretty much everything in trying to solve this to the extent of completely wiping out my email folders). I wouldn't have such a problem with it except that it seems like its actually downloaded the 2,000+ messages onto my computer, no dobt taking up space (and its mildly annoying to me to always see 2,514 to the right of the "Gmail" folder in the left window)
I have tried emptying my mail completely including emptying the trash+deleting mail account from all apple devices and then restarting them before adding the mail account back.
Looking in random folders to make sure I haven't lost my marbles and theres a stash of emails lurking somewhere...
Again, deleting the accounts, powercycling the apple devices and then setting up mail again (just incase the first three times didn't work) and I'll mention that EVERY time I set up the account it imediately starts downloading the 2,000+ emails all over again (little windw shows up in bottom left counting down how many it has and how many there are left to go).
Any advise would be appreciated- I know its not huge but its driving me crazy!!
Just FYI I'm using the mail app simultaneously on a rMBP, iPad 4, and iPhone 5...

Go to Gmail (on the web) look in the folder named All Mail, they will be there, delete what you want.

Why does the menus show over my airplay video?

After the last atv update (i think) Something weird happens when i try to stream video (from my iphone or beamer) to my tv. The video plays, but the ATV menus is showing on top of it. It does not happen when i mirror my mac with airplay mirroring.
Anyone who knows anything about this?
/R

Does it show like that in iTunes as well?
If so there may be a space at the end of one of the names.
If it is you can fix it by selecting all tracks and doing a multiple edit to make the artist name the same across all of them.
Let me know if that fixes it.
Regards,
Colin R.

Why does the drive shows 55.39GB but samba share of the drive shows 31.31GB

Hello,
I've got a mac book pro late-2007 2.2GHz 100GB drive with lion installed. I just freed up a ton of space totaling 55.39GB of space according to Finder on the macbook pro itself. I go to mount it via smb/afp (tried both) and the drive appears with only 31GB of space. What happened here?
I need all 55GB of space.
Please advise.
Shinko

It sounds like you have a partitioned harddrive with at least two partitions and Samba is reporting the space remaining on It's partition? Possible?
Hope this helps

Why does my iPad show all my Hotmail folders but each empty except for recently received messages?

Hi, does anyone know why I cant send email over 3g but can over wi-fi. My provider is ntlworld

Hi, does anyone know why I cant send email over 3g but can over wi-fi. My provider is ntlworld. As soon as I get home and connect to wi-fi the mail sends no problem

We use ntlworld as our home broadband provider and main email address. In my experience ntl doesn't usually allow sending of email except on its own network which is why yours works at home. My iPhone is set up to send my ntl email using my second email account's smtp setting (in my case is is a mac.com account and I haven't found any network this doesn't work on to send email).
So my advice is to get yourself another email account with a different provider like yahoo or google, then use the new provider smtp address to send your ntl email on your iPhone.

Ipod Nano says I am "Over Capacity" but is not storing any music

Ipod Nano says I am "Over Capacity" but is not storing any music. Do you know why i can't get any music on it? I have uninstalled and re-installed itunes as well.

Look at the colored graph under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes showing you the types of content and how much space it is consuming on the iPod. What seems to be taking up all of the iPod's available space?

Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

Check the right and left sides of your iPad for a small hole the size of a paper clip (remove your smart cover if you have one). If you see this, then you have the wifi + cellular model. If you do, use a paper clip to remove the sim tray (or the sim removal tool that came with your iPad if you have it) as shown in the image below.
If the tray has a sim card in it, push the sim tray back in to re-seat it in the side of the iPad, then turn it on to see if the error message re-appears. If it re-appears, take it to a Verizon store and have them give you a new sim card.
If you have a sim tray but it is empty, you'll need to go to a Verizon store to get a sim card for it.

Why does my library show no content even though ATV2 can see my library?

Why does my library show no content even though ATV2 can see my library?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Lena the only previous e-mail message was on Tuesday Dec 30 which stated…..
Lets get your Caller ID to work as it should! I will send you a private message so that we can better assist.
This e-mail states that another ‘private message’ presumably via e-mail would be sent/received but I haven’t received anything else from an e-mail perspective. Presumably it is just a matter of navigating through a low number of settings to get to the caller-id option.
Thank you,
