Out of gigs on ipod

I only have 4 pictures on my Ipod and says I that I do not have enough disk space, 28 songs,28 apps.  What can i do to free up space or is there something else in the background?

- With the iPod connected to the computer turn of auto syncing by going to iTunes on the computer. Go to the Edit tab and click on Preverences.  Go to the Devices tab and check the box that says "Prevent iPods.... syncing automatically"
- Click on the iPod under devices in iTunes.  Near the bottom of the screen is a harizontal colored bargraph of the usage of storage. How much is in the "other" category, if larger than abut 1 GB, it is that large because files go corrupted.
-If you have alarge other, retore the iPod. First from backup and if the other is still large, restore to factory defaults/new iPod. For restoring see the restoring topic of:

  • Loading DVD's on 80 gig Video Ipod

    We got a new 80 gig Video Ipod for christmas and want to load our DVD's. We tried down loading a software that didn't work. Can someone make recommendation of an easy software that works, and since I am not real computer savvy any detailed instruction would be appreciated.

    There are plenty of good free programs out there. Here is a link to a discussion on just that free programs for mac and windows. http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=123067
    You really do not need to pay for a program and if you do choose to do so consider another product then the one from that is recommended by Spammers... that would be cucosoft. They are all over these threads. There are also some great pay programs out there. But again, try the free ones first. Then if not do a search and you will find many, many pay programs out there from companies far more reliable then the one recommend by the SPAMMER on this thread.
    Also another free program that works well is this one:

  • "White Screen" error after most recent update 60 gig video iPod

    I just received the most recent iPod updater software. I installed the updater and ran same. After the update process my 60 gig video iPOD cannot be recognized by my MAC G5. It has a "White Screen" and WILL NOT turn off! When I attempt a reset it simply gives me a 2 or 3 tone beep (I've never heard the tone before). The screen goes dark and it reboots to a white screen. I've re-installed updater and iTunes. I've switched USB ports. I've shut down the computer as well as rebooted same. I've allowed the iPOD to fully discharge (which happened quickly since the screen will not blank). When the unit is plugged into the USB port it charges and the white screen reappears. The updater now refuses to see the iPod so I cannot reset to factory defaults. Any ideas?
    The idiots at Apple instituted a 24/7 chat tech support line for iPod shuttle owners. The guys like me who paid the big bucks for their best product get stuck out in the cold! Apple's whole tech support schtick is barely one step ahead of Dell's! The charge premium prices for their product and I like Apple a lot, but their demand that you be either an Apple Care customer or .MAC user to get even rudimentary support *****!

    Ok, for all the others out who experience this problem....I spent about an hour on the phone with Apple. You have to go to their SECOND level of support to get an answer. But there is a fix.
    If you have a white screen and the unit beep 3 times after a reboot here's what you need to do to fix the problem. Warning all you data will be lost. It will have to be downloaded via iTunes again!
    Disconnect the iPod from the computer. Hold the Select and Menu button down for about 7 seconds to until you get a beep. Then hold down the Select and PLAY button for 10 seconds. This will put the unit in hard disk mode. Wait awhile until the Apple screen goes away and if you get a progress bar wait until it is gone.
    At this point it will take some finagling, but you basically hook the iPod back up to the computer and do a RESTORE. The iPod should be recognized by iPod updater. Your data MAY still be in place, but if you do not do a restore to factory defaults with the updater you will get the white-screen-three-beeps-problem again.
    Once you reboot into the language screen you can reconnect the iPOD and download your data from iTunes.
    I complained this info SHOULD be posted online. They guy was very nice and agreed but said that engineering was still collecting data. He thought it was a dumb idea not to post online or allow the first level support guys to fix the problem.
    Hey Apple...if you read this how about collecting data on your goddamned time and at your expense. You're the SOBs that collected $399 for the product! Ever seen the Comcast or AOL video on YOUTUBE? You guys could be next!

    Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

  • I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. Help?

    I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. I've tried every single solution I've seen, and none of them work. I know the Classic is outdated, but my other iPod doesn't have nearly as much room. Can anyone help with this?

  • ITunes thinks it is syncing music onto my iPod and finishes sync without actually doing it and it is greyed out on "on this iPod" how can I add it properly?

    My iTunes is doing the most frustrating thing.
    I'm trying to sync a new album I've downloaded and every time I drag it across to my iPod (I manage my music manually) it begins to sync and then finishes almost instantly. Checking in the "on this iPod section" the music is there in that greyed out state with the dotted circles next to each item as if it were to sync but it never does it. Its so frustrating
    I tried making it autofill from a playlist only containing the songs I was trying to add and receive the following message:
    "iTunes cannnot add any songs to the iPod because it already contains all the song in (titled) playlist." 
    So it thinks the songs are on there but they're not actually synced.
    If you'd like any further info it is an iPod touch 3G i believe, 32G,  OS 6.1.6.
    almost filled up but space is definitely not the issue. The files are MPEG audio files 320Kbs
    For the record I hate iTunes and all its f**king antics there has to be a better way...

    Alrite simple fix if anyones having the same problem sorry, just gotta delete all the greyed out material on your iPod and re - add it seemed to work

  • I think I found out what the iTunes + iPod update problem is

    All,
    I spent some more time trying to figure out what exactly this iPod update/iTunes problem is and I think I discovered something interesting.
    I can manually sync my MP3's but not my AAC files. When I sync MP3's - iTunes and the iPod are fine. However, as soon as I attempt to sync even one Protected AAC file, iTunes bombs.
    I'd be interested in seeing if others try this and get the same results. If this is the core problem, syncing protected or AAC files, then we may be able figure out the exact component that has botched everything up here.
    Chris

    RE: manual sync - I mean manual copying through iTunes. That is - not selecting to update the songs automatically. I drag them from my library to the iPod within iTunes so I have control what goes there.
    Bummer - I thought I was on to something. All I can say is that I can sync anything but the Protected AAC's. When I let it automatically sync my iPod, iTunes bombed. When I selected manual syncing and moved a playlist, it bombed after a few songs. I tried to look into why it would stop on certain songs, and noticed that it was bombing on the protected AAC's. So, I copied over 1000 MP3's including songs and podcasts, and they copied successfully. I selected one AAC and immediately it bombed.
    Maybe our problems are not the same?

  • FROZEN 60 GIG Video iPod

    I have a brand new 60 GIG Video iPod. The iPod froze during the import of new music and video files. The display has the "Do not disconnect" icon and label shown in the display. Attempting to reset the iPod using the instructions from Apple's support site for iPod issues - the five R's, the iPod will not respond to any of the options provided. Is there another solution to reset the iPod or is this one just destined to be replaced under warranty?

  • How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

    How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

    Hi,
    Here is help for the operating system:
    If you are locked to iOS 3 then you have an iPod Touch 1st Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 4 then you have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 5 then you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 6 then you have an iPod Touch 4th Gen.
    If you can get iOS 7 and have an iPhone 5 sized screen [bigger] you have the current iPod Touch 5th Gen.
    I assume since it says you have iOS 5.1.1 you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
    Also, you may want to sync it so iTunes can tell you or you can look at the model number on the back.
    Hope this helped.

  • New 80 gig Video iPod and Handbrake problems

    I just purchased a new 80 gig Video iPod. I took one of my DVD movies that I own and used Mac The Ripper and DVD2One to get it onto my Powerbooks Hard Drive. I then used Instant Handbrake to make it iPod ready. It loaded fine into iTunes 7 (with the newest updates) and also played fine from within iTunes. When I went to sync it up with my new iPod iTunes gave me a message stating that this movie is not the correct format for this iPod. So I then tried using the full version Handbrake and got the same message. I know that either of these should work because I set a friend up with these same programs and we put his movies onto his 5th Gen 60 gig iPod without any problems. However, I researched iPod video conversions for the new iPods on the Apple website here and learned that there is a feature in iTunes 7 under advanced, when you highlight a video, you can go under Advanced and click on Convert Selection for iPod. Is this something that I'm going to have to do everytime, or does someone know an easier way to put MY DVDs into iTunes for my new 5th Gen 80 gig Video iPod? Please help because this process takes waaaaaaayyyyyyy tooooooo long!

    It all depends on what your target settings were and whether or not you were attempting to incorporate Baseline LC Profile features into your movie. Basically, if you use the H.264 codec at VGA resolutions or with video data rates which exceed 768 kbps or wish to include chaptering, then you will have to use QT Pro v7.1.3/iTunes 7 conversion (or the latest version of ffmpegX or ViddyUp!) to create an LC iPod compatible file. (MPEG Streamclip and probably HandBrake programmers are still working on their LC upgrades.)

  • Please can you tell me how to find out which generation Classic ipod I have?

    Please can you tell me how to find out which generation Classic ipod I have?

    Suppose so. More specifiaclly though;
    We know it's not a Classic.
    If the last three characters of the serial number are not in the list shown for iPod (5th generation - late 2006) model, and yours (WEC) are not, then it is not an iPod (5th generation - late 2006) .
    Providing the screen on your iPod is wider than the wheel underneath it, then it must, by default, be the iPod simply known as iPod (5th generation), available from October 2005.
    If - by any chance, the screen on your iPod is the same width as the wheel underneath, then you actually have a very early iPod, prior to the 5th gen one.
    So unless you realise otherwise, you have an iPod (5th generation), available from October 2005
