Ipod nano memory issue?

I have an ipod nano 4gb. The capacity is listed as 3.7 gb which I understand, but it says only 3 gb is available. Even when everything is erased, it still says that. I can load up to 3gb of songs, and then no more. Also, whether I load on 25 songs or 250 songs,it still says 3.0 gb available. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Sorry, one more thing... I can only load on about 2.4 gb of songs, or about 520 or so. So I can't even load on the 3 gb that it says is available.

  • Itunes showing my ipod nano memory as -19.48 gb?

    I suddenly developed this problem on connecting my ipod to my comp today. The ipod nano was automatically renamed "198", and the memory capacity as shown by itunes was erraneous. Teh result is taht i cant copy a single song into my ipod anymore.
    strangely, this seems to be an itunes related issue...as the ipod works fine on anotehr comp. However, i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, updated it, restored my ipod, changed the usb ports, tried both usb 1.1 and usb 2.0 ports, scanned my comp for possible virri and spyware throughly, and even attempted some registry tinkering without any help.
    Anybody could provide a clue as to what sort of problem this is?

    IT seems another helpful user replied to a similar query. Apparently, windows xp's horrible disk management function messed itunes up by assigning the ipod a drive letter already in use (h:, was mapped to a network drive).
    Its not the first time this has caused problems, as i use a digital media center style comp with 1tb space, and have a dedicated swap drive as well. This kicked me out of my network the last time i got a new hdd, wasting hours spent in frustrated repair. **** bugs.
    anybody else who has this problem, please see this:

  • IPod nano 7G issues with shuffle function

    Dear all,
    I just bought a 7G iPod nano. Altogether it's great but I have a couple of issues I would like to comment with you:
    1. I sometimes use the "shake to shuffle" function, but when I go and turn it OFF, the shuffle function still remains (although not in the "shake" mode), and I must turn it off manually by tapping on the screen while a song is playing, and de-selecting it. Does this happen to you?
    2. When I pair the iPod nano 7G to my car through bluetooth, after listening to any album up until the end, it then suddenly pauses, then starts playing again but in a shuffle mode, without me having done or touched anything. So after the end of any album, it just turns on the shuffle mode automatically. My car stereo system is a 2012 Mercedes Benz Audio 20 system, which has both A2DP and AVRCP profiles. Has anyone experienced something similar?
    It's sounded like fun to listen to the iPod wirelessly in the car, but I must say that the bluetooth functionalities are so limited (play, stop, next track, last track) that it quicly becomes quite boring. I wish it had all the browsing controls like when you plug it in...Any comments?
    Thanks a lot in advance for you help with these issues,
    CCCP

    im having the same problem. I drive a 203 c class with audio 20 and for some reason the media interface wont sync with my ipod. The bluetooth works fine but when i try to plug it via the media interface cables, it only charges....

  • IPod Nano 7G - Issue controlling music through Bluetooth

    I recently bought a 7th gen iPod Nano for running, but I'm also using for music in my car through Bluetooth.
    I have a problem where if I'm listening to music with shuffle on and I skip the track using the cars skip buttons shuffle is turned off and the iPod starts going through the album/playlist sequentially. I previously had my iPhone connected instead and didn't have this problem at all, so it can't be the car sending the wrong signals...
    Anybody experience similar issues?

  • Ipod Nano - Bluetooth issue

    my ipod nano 7th generation won't recognise any bluetooth devices. 
    I'm particulary trying to connect to my car radio, but as it doesn't seem to find any other bluetooth devices we have not sure if it's an issue with the Ipod?

    Not all bluetooth devices will be discovered by ipod nano. To be able to do this, it must have A2DP BT profile. But it can still connect to other devices like jambox (which I am using now), etc. Cheers!

  • IPod Nano Memory

    I have deleted everything on my IPod Nano and it's still showing 1.61 GB used. Does anyone know why that is and how I can change it?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You are not alone, since this is quite a common problem.
    Have you tried restoring your iPod?
    Restoring your iPod
    After tring restoring your iPod, and it doesn't work, them try formatting your iPod trhough "My Computer". This has worked for posters on here (and elsewhere) to get their iPods to quite displaying fake memory usage.
    NOTE: If for some reason you can't resotre your iPod, then don't try this or start it up until you can restore your iPod, since a restore is needed after this process.
    Plug in your iPod.
    Go to "My Computer".
    Find your iPod's listing there (typically "E" or sometimes "F".)
    Right-click on it, "Format".
    After this, be sure to restore your iPod again (see the link above).
    I hope this helps,

  • Ipod nano memory glitch?

    Hi all. i've just bought an ipod nano 2gb and its barely a day old. being the excited me, i've transfer songs like 5 times, ie connecting and disconnecting the adapter from the nano.
    on the last transfer, i forgot to click on the eject button and disconnected the adapter from my nano. the result was that my whole songs disappeared and i thought then i'd still have my 2gb back. but no. apparently, what it appears is that i've only 148 songs left to upload. (2gb is 500 songs). so, the memory is used up but my songs aren't there!
    so, what happen? can i get my 2gb back w/o goin down to the applecentre? help? thanks

    This happened to my nano a while back, you should restore your ipod. Connect it to you computer, then open the ipod updater, go to restore. This will delete all of your songs from your ipod, install the latest software update, and return your ipod to factory settings, hopefully resolving the glitch p.s just remeber to eject before unplugging next time

  • 7th Generation iPod Nano connection issue

    My Dell Inspiron N7110 does not recognize my brand new 7th generation iPod Nano even when I use a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port.

    Gee...I'm answering my own posts.  But...this is the deal.  Apparently, my iPOD Nano froze...and one thing I did not do was reset it.  I did that, and by IPOD was suddenly recognized by my computer....and is now happily charging, etc.   So, case solved.

  • IPod nano files issue

    I have had an iPod nano for a couple of weeks and have been enjoying it for a couple of weeks. However, recently for no apparent reason some of the files I had previously loaded and had been listening to stopped playing--they are skipped. Of the 158 songs loaded about 20 or 30 have stopped playing this way. Should I reload all my songs again? Does anyone out there know if there are any problems with the nano storage technology?
    Thanks

    Hello i3,
    One solution that may work would be to "Reset" your nano:

    If that doesn't work, try deleting those songs on your nano that are skipping, and re-install from iTunes.

  • Ipod Nano Connection Issues

    I am having trouble getting my ipod to connect with my PC.
    It has worked previously, as i have transfered 3gb of songs to my Ipod Nano so far.
    However now when i try to connect my Ipod to my computer, i plug it in, and nothing happens. I can play with my ipod, there is no "Do not Disconnect" symbol appearing.
    However, if i actually bend down the plastic part of the connector side to my ipod, so that it is kind of a 10° angle to my ipod (thus bending the connection isnide my ipod i guess) it reconises it.. Do Not Disconnect appears and it appears on itunes.
    However i dont want to be constantly bending the connector down so that i can transfer songs, beacuse not only is it inconvenient, but it can't be good for my ipod.
    I have no idea why its doing this, I have reset my ipod, re-installed, updated ipod software, tried different ports, i also tried my mates ipod lead to see if it was mine that was faulty. this didnt help, same problem.
    I understand i can send it in for a service, but wasn't sure if this would come under servicable conditions?
    Would appreciate some help that doesn't require sending my ipod away, but if there is no other choice, then i guess ill have to.
    Thanks in advance

    Hey quick question what exactly did you bend to make your ipod sync because im going nuts. I know this question is old but if u solved yuor problem let me know. Contact me at:[email protected]

  • 4th Gen Ipod Nano compatibility issues`

    I purchased a 4th Gen 16gb ipod nano. When I connected it to my car's Sony car stereo I got the "can't charge" error message that has been discussed previously on these pages. It will also not work on my wife's Chrysler Town & Country. Several solutions to the charging problem have been given, including getting "Passport" from Scosche (sp). However, when I called their help desk they stated their product will solve the charging problems, but if my nano was not recognized by my stereo and then work, that their product would not solve this problem. Neither the Sony or the Chrysler stereo would recognize the nano after giving me the charging error. Is their any software that can be downloaded into the nano that would make it work with these car stereo systems?
    Thanks for any advice or help.

    If everybody with this problem were to return the 4th generation nano, the problem would be solved by Apple in short order. Instead reponses along the line of "you shouldn't expect old equipment to work with a new generation Apple product" are offered thereby enabling Apple in ignoring its customers.

  • Ipod Nano Sync Issue

    CAn you get Ipod Touch Apps to run on an an Ipod Nano?

    No the can't. Applications for the iPod Touch are made specifically for the iPod Touch as the frameworks are made for "touching", not for "scrolling" with.

  • RE: Help needed w/ iPod Nano game issues

    I have an 8GB 4th generation iPod nano, I've downloaded a game for it and cannot sync it to my iPod. The game shows up in my itunes library in the applications tab, but not were the games tab is. I also don't have a games tab under my iPod in the devices tab. I've tried to drag and drop,but to no avail,as well as manual and auto synchronizing. If anybody could help with this I'd greatly appreciate it.
    Thnx R1PP3rJack

    what game is it?
    some games aren't for the nano... just to make sure you downloaded one that's compatible, what's it called?

  • IPod nano battery issue

    I bought my iPod nano the second day it was out and 3 weeks later had a problem with it, Apple took it and declared nothing was wrong with it so sent it back.
    Now before I sent it to them I got roughly 13+ hours out of it, but I have just got it back and I'm stretching to even get 7, I'm not happy with this, now I'm not saying it's thier fault but I want to know what I am entitled to here...if anyone knows that is.
    And do you think it would be possible for me to give them my old on back so I can get the new one if I paid the extra...the new iPod that is.
    Thanks guys.

    I had the same problem with my FIRST nano. I have gone through 3(see my topic: iPod nano is a joke). The best thing I can tell you is to return it for the exact same thing just tell the salesperson you want one from the newest shipment as to not get one from the same batch.
    Hope I Helped, Jake
