I want to buy a Ipod Nano 16gb and it says it holds up to 4,000 songs, and 16 hours of video but on my Itunes I have 2,593 songs and it says I have 19.88 gb. How is this possible?

I want to buy a Ipod Nano 16gb that says it holds up to 4,000 songs, 16 hours of video, and 14,000 pictures. On my Itunes Library, I have 2,593 songs and it says I have 19.88 gb just of songs. How is this possible? If I buy the Nano, will I not be able to have all my songs on the ipod? The music is my first and only prioarity. I want to be able to have up to at least 3,000 songs, even if that means not having video or pictures. Can someone please help me?

Daniella,
The estimated song capacities, such as 4000 songs in 16 GB, are based on 4 minute songs of 4 MB each, which is what you get at 128 encoding.
Most of us nowadays use well above 128. (For example, the iTunes Store and Amazon MP3 both sell songs only in 256.)
However, you can still make more songs fit! When you sync your iPod, use the option to "convert higher bit rate songs," as pictured. Choose 128. This fits more on the iPod, but does not change the songs in your library.

Why is it that i am unable to buy an ipod nano 16gb in germany? In the stores it is advertised however not available, the store only has the 8gb and I can't ship it here? Is it a case of not yet launched, patent infringement or apple just being annoying?

I am trying, thus far with no success, to buy an ipod nano 16gb here in Germany. However whilst the stores advertise it they don't have it in stock and can't tell when it will be. The german apple store only has the 8gb version. Should i try to order from a reseller then they will only post within the uk. iSo my question is - whats going on? Why are there no 16gb ipods to be (apparantly) had in Germany? Not launched yet? Patent infringement? Apple being very annoying?

Call Apple or an Apple Store in your city and ask them. Or do a Google search.

How many songs does the IPod Nano 16GB hold?

I want to buy an IPod Nano 16GB and I want to know how many songs can it hold?

Kind of as an estimate, I have all my music at 256Kbps on a 32GB iPhone, I have about 2800 songs on it. You should probably half that for a 16GB Nano if all music is at 256Kbps taking into account deggies post as well.

Delete the Contact app, how is this possible?

both my ios devices show my contacts app as installing, waiting for the download to start. like they were normal apps, not one of apples.
If I tap and hold on the app, it lets me delete it. I did this on the iPhone after doing a phone restore did not fix the issue. I know everyone says it can't be done because it's an apple app, but I did. I got the warning about deleting this app will delete it's information, etc... I went ahead with it as nothing else has worked up to this point. (and yes, the apps that rely on the data still have access to that data it seems)
my question is two fold, how is this possible? And how do I get it back?
thanks
jason

Trust me, this is NOT an app downloaded from the App Store. i put all my 'apple' apps together in one folder by group/type. Nothing else goes in those folders. And it had the icon of the contacts app. It was also the only one of those to show a "waiting..." And icon greyed out like the App Store was trying to update it.
I get no results in a spotlight search. Tried that Before I posted.
I have had iOS devices for many years, ipad from day 1! so I know this is truly the contacts app from apple and thus I am truly perplexed that it let me do this.
any more thoughts or ideas?.
thanks
jason
p.s. Same thing is happening on my iPad, here is the screen shot of the folder with the contacts icon saying waiting. I verified in the iPhone users guide that this definitely the icon for the apple contacts app. Saying waiting, not contacts.

I have an ipod touch.But i want to buy a ipod shuffel.Can i sync my music from the touch to the shuffel and if so how?

I have a ipod touch but want to buy a ipod shuffel. can i sync my music from the touch to the shuffel and how? but if i cant how do i buy music from itunes on the shuffel?

You can't go directly from the Touch to the Shuffle, but if you can get the music into your itunes library on your computer, you'll be able to sync that music to the Shuffle no problem. Follow the steps in this article to transfer any music you've purchased on your iPod into the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848

IPod Nano 16Gb sync error

For a while now I have been getting the following when I try and sync my iPod Nano 16Gb on my Mac.
The iPod syncs when it first is recignized by iTunes, but it will not synce again. I select different playlists, or make any changes. I tries resetting the iPod and now I have almost no music on it. It is three months old and useless now.
iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-25172).
Any help would be appreiciated.

It does happen on both USB ports. I have used the original cable and one out of another iPod Nano box.
Both my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.8) and iTunes (10.6.1) have the latest updates.
I have tried both of my iPods, (16GB Nano and Classic 160GB), they will sync when first plugged in, but when I make music and playlist changes, then click the sync button they fail.
The 160GB will synce the changes to the playlists after I restart my system and iTunes, but the Nano had to be reinstalled completely and I cannot change the selected playlists, so it is almost useless now.
I will try and get to the Apple store next week. I read a couple of comments about this being a possible corrupt file. I have 160GB of music in iTunes, so not sure how to go about figuring this out.

Buying a ipod nano

Hi
I want to buy a ipod but i really like the ipod nano, do you people think the ipod will come better (Cracks & Scratch)?
Or i should wait ?
Is their a FM transmitter for ipod nano ?

Cracked screens are very rare and replaceable.
Scratching is another issue. Will it get better? Probably, but "when" would be the question to ask.
I am in the spot were you are except I'm now 1 week into an order and have not cancelled the order. In fact have ordered martin Fields Overlay Plus to protect the little guy from what will probably be changed in future models. (Scratches)
So to answer your question ... I chose to get it now and spend $6 more for some protection. I have never own an ipod so I am probably more eager than most.
Toyota is well known for quickly reacting to consumer concerns ... I can only hope Apple will be too.

You can redownload most iTunes purchases directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise you will have to sync from your iTunes library.

The iPod touch has a very rudimentary camera. It has only a 0.6 MP resolution, no optical zoom, no flash, etc. There is no app that can improve this as it is limited by the hardware. So it is not a replacement for a digital camera (nor even for an iPhone whose camera has a 5.0 MP resolution.
