Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Oh, I think I get it now. I'll bet the CD is 8.0 and I only have the update unstalled on the hard drive. So I can't do this.
iTunes, I think about 20, 12 of them 'smart' ones. Some of the 'dumb' playlists are actually to keep track of the songs that people have gifted me with or to keep box sets together.
Is there a Mac utility for cleaning out disc space? Emptying FCP's Capture Scratch (and DVDSP's MPEG folder) isn't quite getting me far enough for the current project I'm working on, so I'm wondering if there's a slew of temporary files I can trash or something.
Is this the same Mac that died last week? If so, you can probably clean out a lot of the stuff that got archived during the archive & install.
What's a smart playlist?
to keep box sets together
You can do that by doing Disc Number 1 of x.
What's a smart playlist?
One that runs a query to select songs. I'm unsure how much of the query is run on the iPod and how much is iTunes (I have some playlists that are songs I haven't listened to, and they don't roll off the iPod playlist until I connect to iTunes again).

If you can mount the hard drive, you might still be able to run it off the drive. I think it can still do a lot of things, but I don't know which things it can do.
This is certainly not my expertise, but my understanding is that you can't de-frag the hard drive when you are running from the hard drive.
When I click "Optimize" in Speed Disk 6.0.5, I it says yes, can't do it all, but it does give me the option of defragmenting "Files not currently in use"
I'll give it a shot.
