Take a look at this screen capture:

The Finder get info command tells me my iPod shuffle has 632 MB free. However, in iTunes, I’ve clearly set the drive to have 652MB set aside for data. The file space is completely blank.

So do I have 632MB, or 652MB? Why aren’t these numbers the same? When I set a file space size in iTunes, that size should be the same as the free space recognized by the finder. In this case, I wanted to copy a 650MB disk image to my iPod. According to iTunes, I should have enough space, but the Finder says no.

Let’s be consistent!
