Le Thumb Drive

Hey peeps! I am using a thumb drive and just transfered some songs on it from a PC to a Mac and now the PC keeps thinking the thumb drive is full. Is there any way to empty it? I mean, I already dragged everything out of the folder. Can it be that itunes 'locked' it because of the songs? It worked fine with documents, I took it back and forth 2 times before this happened.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Okay, both machines think that there is 117 MB of stuff on it, but 0 items??? what is going on???

I dont know what a thumb drive is, but try emptying the recycle bin. You might have to do it on both the pc and the mac, as they probably store "deleted" files differently.

It's a USB stick. I will try that, thanks!

It didn't work btw. If anyone else has any ideas I would really appreciate it! Btw the same thing happened with my mp3 player and now everytime I try to put songs on it the computer says it is full .

have you tried reformatting it?

reformatting the usb stick/mp3 player? can you do that???

If you got all your data from it, try reformatting it

How do you reformat it?

right clicking on its icon in My Computer, on the pc at least, and selecting Format...

yep. just make sure you knwo exactly what you are doing. If it is just a USB memory stick, windows can fornat it. If is a combi memory stick/mp3 player, you may need to use the software delivered with the stick.

k, I'm gonna try it now and see if it works. Thanks!

Have you read the user manual and/or checked the support site?

does the mac still have separate resource and data forks? The 117 megs are probably hidden files or something, or another partition type.

It worked!!! . Thanks! Now I just have to figure out how to do that on a Mac and how to fix my mp3 player. Cheers guys .

I can see it now. BG posting that her laptop no longer works and the whole computer appears to have been reformatted...

I used my work computer silly . I barely know how to right-click on my Mac.
