Wrong remaining space in iTunes when i tick anything before sync
Hello, my iPhone4 16 gb with 4.3.3, when connected with iTunes shows 2.9 gb which is the correct free space.
When i try to click on Movies or ibooks or Photos or anything, it instantly changes to 5.5 gb or 5.9, making it impossible to calculate what can i add before getting my device full!! I have tried many tips but still the same. Furthermore, events from iPhoto got mixed and now they appear 2 or 3 times with the same name!!
Help, please!
Hope this article helps you:

Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.
Attempted solutions:
-I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
-I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.
Google Drive Warning:
Spotify Warning:
But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -

I am having a problem with the new iTunes store. I can connect my ipod, and it will show that it is syncing. Once the sync is complete on iTunes, my ipod still shows that it is connected, do not eject. I have not had a problem with this until the new verision of iTunes. When I go to eject my ipod, it tells me that it can't eject due to application being used in another program. I did receive an ipad 2 for Christmas, that I also sync with iTunes, but only the ipad shows up in my devices on the site, what happened to my ipod device and how to add it back to devices? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

Bot App thru iTunes from iPhone, and deleted before sync.How to retrieve?
Is there any way I can use my bill from the store to retrieve my app that I just bought? I
erased it from my iPhone because I had it working, then app. (EyeTV)wouldn't connect, so I thought
I would delete, however I had forgotten to sync my phone to my Mac... Now, of course, the App isn't
in my apps on my Mac. I just got my email receipt last night.As long as you are using the same iTunes Store account as you used when you originally bought the app, you can download it again for free. You have to click the "Buy" button and you will get a warning about your credit card being charged, but when you continue, you'll get an offer to download it again for free. This explains how that works: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

On iTunes when i plug my iphone in, the bar at the bottom with contains the information about the capacity of my iphone, it has a bar called 'other' which has 4GB. I don't know what is taking up that space or how to get rid of it. please help
You can reduce the size to normal, which is about 1GB, by restoring the phone.
Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software
The size of this part can increase when something goes wrong during a sync, or some files can't be read anymore by iTunes. -
I get error message: not enough space to download when I try to buy a tv series on Itunes. It tells me to delete photos or videos to make space, but I have no photos and videos. Help?
I would guess that a TV series takes up a fair amount of storage capacity. It is just a standard message I think that may indicate that you are actually running low on storage space.
If you go to Settings>General>About how many GBs are specified as being available? If you are low on space maybe deleting some apps may help. -
I have followed the Apple Support Section Article HT 4527 and have moved itunes media onto an external Hard Drive. The complete file is 103GB in size.
I have downloaded the latest itunes onto my new PC.
When I follow the article and try moving the itunes file onto the new PC, I am informed that there is insufficient space on my new PC.
In any case, like my old system, I want to leave my music on the external HDD and just have the music library displayed in itunes when I click on the "Music" folder.
How can I get itunes on the new computer to interogate my external HDD to just list the library and leave the music on the external HDD?you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
-hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
-select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
-after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
-after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
-double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
hope this helps:) -

ITunes reporting wrong free space on iPhone 4S
On Friday, I signed up for iTunes Match. Let it do it's thing, and on Saturday afternoon, it completed. I went through and removed all the old m4p files I could, replaced with m4a, and downloaded 256k aac replacements for old files in my library for artists A-C last night. That all went good on my computer.
However, when I went to sync my phone last night, my space available is being reported incorrectly by iTunes (10.51 on Win7). It initially told me I was over usage, which was a lie. When I started this, it was roughly 5.5Gb free or so (forget exact space at the moment). When I went to sync, iTunes instantly jumped to over. I manually removed a few playlists to bring the reporting under, but it still has the problem.
As of right now, iTunes is saying there is 1.32Gb free on the iPhone. The phone itself is reporting 5.1Gb free, which is about what it should be.
I switched my iPad over to using iTunes Match, and it's usage is the same (although I haven't synced it yet). But I didn't want to do this on the phone until I resolved this reporting problem. Things i've tried already:
1) Unchecking, then checking again the "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected". I read around these forums, and found from some people that helps. It didn't for me.
2) Restore on the iPhone. Didn't work.
3) Unchecking sync music, sync the phone to remove it all, then recheck, and resync to put the music back. No difference. Same misreported space.
4) Swearing at it.
If anyone has any ideas, let me know. Tkx.Interesting. I just now plugged the phone in again after ejecting it, and..
It initially showed the proper 5.1Gb free that the phone itself is reporting. But about two seconds after that, it jumped up to the incorrect 1.32Gb free.
The sync finished, and it went back down to the proper 5.1Gb free. I have no bloody idea what the deal here is. Something bizarre happened, and then it just as equally weirdly went away. -

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

my kids entered the passcode several times wrong and now it is disabled and written on it"connect to itunes" , when i did connect it to itunes it said "can not connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode" what can i do pls?
You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.
If you do it via a different computer that it's not normally synced to then (from here) :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. -
I hate iTunes. It continues to download HD versions of movies when I tell it not to. The movie I want is 4.4 gigs. I have deleted all my apps and half my songs and still don't have enough space. iTunes is near impossible to navigate.
I have downloaded Oblivion six times and it continues to bring the HD version. I have unchecked the "Download HD when available" but I continue to get a file that is 4.4 gigs large.
I hate iTunes.You purchased the HD version, not the regular version. It will continue to download the version you bought. If you want the SD version you have to shell out for it. Apple doesn't do returns.
Watch your movie. You can always put other stuff back on later, especially music.
