My ipod (32 gbs,5th generation) says 1.1 gbs are being used, that aren't.

My Ipod "about" is saying that there is 7.38 gbs used by music, but my ipod says that it's actually taking up 8.2 gbs. I have my ipod on the "convert higher bit-rate songs to 128 kbps" setting. how do i fix this?

could be some corrupted files
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

    Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
    The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

  • My ipod nano 4/5th generation goes black whenever i take it off my docking station?

    i just bought new docking station for my ipod nano 4th/5th generation but when i take my ipod off the docking station it goes black. the docking station plays my music from the ipod, gets radio and does everything very well but when i take the ipod off, its like the ipod has no charge, even though when its on the docking station it says it has full battery ? please help!

    Hey lissylouxxx,
    Thanks for the question. That definitely sounds frustrating, we'll need to isolate the issue further to determine if there is indeed a hardware issue with the device. Does the same behavior occur after charging the iPod with the included wall/usb charger?
    I highly recommend visiting the Support page for the iPod nano (4th and 5th generation), and specifically running through the troubleshooting assistant:
    Apple - Support - iPod nano - 4th and 5th generation
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/4th_5th_generation/

  • Can the Ipod 4th and 5th generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Can the Ipod 4th and 5th Generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Mini-education...
    GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network.  GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites.  They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information.  Navigation software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.
    Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once every two years).  The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
    Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
    The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver.  The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.

  • HT1351 Whether or not I sync items on iTunes to my ipod, I cannot eject the ipod because a message keeps coming up and saying that my ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are being used by another application. How do I fix this?

    I just got an ipod classic 7th generation a couple days ago and I'm having a heck of a time with it. My latest problem is that with media on iTunes, I cannot eject the ipod because it says that it cannot be ejected because it contains files that are being used by another application. What application is this, and what do I do about it?

    Hi newipoduser,
    Here are some possible solutions:
    Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
    Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
    If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
    if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
    Finally, you can restart your computer.
    Hope one of these helps!
    Cheers,

  • HT1339 My nano won't restore, it says  it can't because "files are being used"  Please help me get the "chipmunk's and Beiber" off my ipod!!!

    I am trying to restore my nano to get my kids' chipmunk and beiber music off and it replys that it cant because files are being used.....what do i need to do???

    First and foremost, just say no to Beiber
    First, close all open apps on your computer and restart your computer. Open only iTunes when it restarts.
    Then, I would reset your iPod, probably not needed but I would do it  any way. Hold the sleep/wake button and the volume down button until the Apple logo appears. Wait for it to completely start  up to where it is ready to use.
    Now try and restore. If the iPod was synced with your own computer to put the music on, you can use it to remove it. Usually that is preferred instead of restoring.

  • Ipod cannot restore"because files are being used by another application"

    Hello all,
    I hope someone can help me. I think I mad a big mistake. I did a favor for my father who bought the newest IPod clip on shuffle for my mom. I agreed to get it up and running using my laptop, (which has Itunes for my Ipod w/video) would this create a conflict. Unfortunately I didn't think of asking BEFORE i tried to get the shuffle up and running. The shuffle works fine now but my 30GB Ipod is not able to sync any songs and has requested me to restore to the default settings. Which I tried but when I do it states that I can't because "files are being used by another application" So I tried to use the chat help on this website and when I logged in it picked my product type as a SHUFFLE. Can someone give me any advice. Thanks

    I get this messager and I have no other ipods or dev. to my system and have problems when I disconnect also?? Even have done a complete restore, to no help. Help

  • Moving from old to new iPod -- what is '5th generation' ???

    I got my first iPod (40GB) in late 2003, and have been enthusiastically using it since 2004.
    The battery on the old iPod is shot. I plan on having Apple install a new battery, but for now, I've bought a new 60GB iPod and plan to treat it as my "main" iPod.
    I've been surfing Apple's site to get the info I need about getting the new unit up and running -- but really I'm accumulating more questions than answers.
    My new 60 GB iPod (purchased about two months ago) doesn't say 5th generation on the packaging or hardware -- how do I tell if it's 5th generation?
    What the heck is 5th generation?
    Nothing on the packaging or in the instructions of the new iPod says the new iPod will play videos. My main goal, anyways, is to listen to music. But I'd like to know -- will it play videos, or does one buy a special "video iPod" for that purpose?
    Can I use my old docking station for this new iPod? It was bought in '04.
    I currently run iTunes version 7.0.2.16 for Windows XP. The (scanty) docs that accompany the new iPod say to install the new iTunes software from the disk included in the box, so I plan to do that.
    Will the software register the new iPod as separate device, distinct from my old iPod (which I plan to keep using, once it's fixed?) So that I can manage BOTH my iPods from within iTunes on my PC?
    Any answers you can provide are greatly appreciated.

    1. You can use the information in this article to determine which type of iPod
    you have.
    2. The latest version of iTunes will recognize both
    iPods individually. You can use these instructions to transfer different
    music to each iPod.
    (19538)
    Thanks much! Those articles answered most of my questions. I now know exactly which iPods I have.
    What about the docking station?
    My new 5th Generation iPod is slimmer than the older one -- shorter and thinner.
    Does this mean I must get a new docking station for it? Or can I just plug it into the docking station for my original iPod?
