senuti and itunes

Hello,
I hope senuti isn't a dirty word on here - but here goes! My son recently switched from a Dell to macbook - since his ipod had his itunes up to date, he used senuti to transfer music from his ipod on to his new macbook. He began getting start up disk full messages - and seeing that it's a brand new computer, it was odd to me. I saw that his iTunes folder said it contained 80 gigs! The iPod was a 40 gb and wasn't full - so it seems something happened. Any ideas? It may be possible that senuti uploaded from ipod twice, but I can't find the duplicates. Is there somewhere specific I can look to see if the library has been duplicated and hidden in some other folder??? Thanks for your help.

Hello,

I not sure if it is an allowed subject here, but you'll be told soon if it is.
However, try emptying the trash because maybe senuti created temporary files.

hope that helps.

I have emptied trash, but still shows 80 gb itunes folder when i get info on the folder...i'm still wondering if there is something that might have been hidden in a library folder or something.

thank you!

Is the music still on the iPod?
if so, try opening iTunes and deleting from there, then use get info on the library folder after emptying the trash.

Hi,

senuti creates doubles. it copies to your hard drive and then adds to your itunes library, but it does not delete the first copies made (check the preferences on senuti and where it put them)

hope that makes sense.

I think this is sounding like most logical explanation to me...to check the preferences of senuti, do i need to have the ipod connected or can i just open senuti with no device? to answer the previous post, yes - the music is still on the ipod but i'm not following what to do with that. it's not that there are doubles of the tunes showing up in itunes -- don't need to delete duplicates, but somewhere it seems like there is a complete duplicate on computer. i will do some searching of senuti preferences...thank you all.
