Frustrated with lack of space on my iPod nano (only 8 GB were offered at the time I bought it), I broke down and bought myself an iPod Touch ("as a graduation present," I told myelf to make myself feel better about the purchase). I bought the 32 GB version to insure myself that I don't run out of space. Sadly enough, it has almost as much space as my laptop computer (which was purchased over 4 years ago). I am running into the same problem with my computer as it continues to tell me that I'm low on disc space. I have to go in and delete programs on my computer that I am no longer using. Therefore, both of these are perfect examples of how quickly technology grows and becomes out of date.When buying my ipod nano, I thought that 8 GB was plenty of space to last me. I was wrong. Honestly, I never gave any thought to the amount of space I would need on my laptop. With technology growing, how much space do I need? Should I have purchased the 64 GB iPod? I am not one to really go buy the newest technologies just to have them. I just want to have enough space to have the capabilities to do what I need to do. But how much space is that?
Since I just spent a good chunk of money on a new iPod, I can't afford to spend money on buying myself a new laptop right now. So what can I do to solve my hard disk space issues? The major consumers of hardisk space are system restore snapshots and temporary internet files (history). Running the disk clean-up utility can be a real help in finding out what is clogging up your free space. If you are having the same problems as me, try removing temporary internet files, downloaded program files, Windows temporary files, and don't forget to empty out your recycling bin.
I totally understand your problems. I myself had a 32 Gb iPod some years ago that was pretty good with memory. After I broke that one I got an 8Gb iPhone. That was a big mistake because I have nowhere near all of my music on the phone but I'm already out of space because of my pictures and the applications I have on the phone. I guess I will be trying to refurbish my old 32Gb iPod sooner than later!
ReplyDeletesince I do not have that phone I kind of not understand. Lack of space in phone I do because my phone is the same way but I feel in the near future technology will upgrade them.
ReplyDeleteI also had to consider refurbishing or purchasing a new ipod recently. I bought the ipod touch 8GB, and found it to be marvelous. i have a decent amount of music but nothing like what you all report, i still have plenty of room on my ipod even with just 8GB. Im not suprised that you're having problems with memory on your lap top, its sorta old...that tends to happen over time as programs and files are saved and deleted, your suggestions for fixing the problem were great though!
ReplyDeleteAs a typical person that just uses text messaging and calls on my phone I look at it as if I would never need all that extra space on a cell phone but as time go on technology will upgrade.
