Used space, nothing stored in my ipod mini

I had to reset my mini, so it would show up on my computer...now when I try to update, it says there are 3 GB of used space, but nothing in my library or on the ipod. What did I do wrong?

Heather,
I don't think you did anything wrong, it's just one of those odd software glitches that crop up from time to time.
Restoring the iPod to factory settings should cure it.

  • Help finding specs stored on my ipod mini....

    I sent in my ipod mini in February for a replacement battery. They gave me a new one, with a three month warranty. Six months have gone by, and the battery seems to already be dying. It says it has half-life in the indicator, but suddenly the message "Low battery connect to charger" pops up, and that's it. It dies. When I'm able to restart, the battery indicator is empty.
    I know the genius bar people were able to find the information on the ipod to determine the age/use of the battery from its menu, but I can't seem to find that information when I do a forum search. I'm just trying to see how old this thing was.
    I'm loathe to drop another $70 on stuff with obsolete or defective batteries in it.
    Thanks!

  • Storing Pictures on iPod Mini

    I have no idea if this can be done, but I really don't want to drag my laptop on a vacation.
    I have an iPod mini and a Canon PowerShot A530. Is there anyway I can import pictures directly from the camera to the iPod? I want to free up my memory cards.
    The answer is probably no, but it was worth asking.
    Thanks!

    Yep you're right, the answer is no.

  • Charging iPod nano (2nd gen) with iPod mini adaptor

    Hey
    I just bought my iPod nano 2nd gen, and I realized that there is no wall charger for it. Therefore I am wondering, if I can use the wallcharger for my old iPod mini?
    I that cannot be done, I would like some alternatives, since I would like to bring my iPod on vacation, and therefore I need more than 24 hours of battery life.
    Best regards

    Yes.

    Please connect your iPod mini with your computer, and do a restore before give it to your husband.

  • IPod Mini works with FireWire, won't work with USB

    This one's frustrating.
    I have a generic P4 3.2Ghz PC running XP Pro SP2. It used to work fine with my iPod Mini. I then had some problems with usb drives, including its internal drives and the iPod. Eventually I bought the USB/Firewire cable, and all has been fine synching over Firewire since then.
    I've now bought my wife a Nano, and I wanted to check (before she opens it) whether the USB connection to my mini would work (nanos not working with Firewire). Nope. If I connect with Firewire, it shows up as a disk in Windows, and in iTunes. If I connect with USB, it shows up as a disk in Windows, but iTunes can't see it.
    I've Reset the iPod, Rebooted the PC (many times throughout the process), uninstalled and Reinstalled iTunes and the iPod software (freshly downloaded from Apple). Tried all the USB connections on the box, and another cable.
    Any practical suggestions? If her birthday present doesn't work, there will be sarcasm
    PC Windows XP Pro

    I HATE WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    So it now works. I "just" had to uninstall the "PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller" in Device Manager. Plugged the iPod straight back in, and it appeared in iTunes.
    Now to see if I have to do this every time I synch over USB - annoying as I'm saving up for a 6G (whatever and whenever it turns out to be).
    Thanks for your time anyone who's read this.

  • How do I locate and delete the "other" used space on my Ipod 2 ?

    Not only did I get curious about the Autofill button and lose all of my music on my Ipod Nano 2nd Edition but now my Ipod is showing that I have 90% Other stored on it and can't figure out how to locate and delete it! I have looked all over online and nothing seems to work because mine is a different model.. :/  Someone HELP me PLEASE!

    You probably have data corruption.  You may want to do a Restore, as the simplest fix.  The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  It will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  All data will be erased, including whatever is taking up space as "Other."

  • Can I use Ipod Mini to my TV to see the pictures

    I stored some Pictures in my IPod Mini[4GB] and i want to see those photos in MY TV inorder to show to my friends..
    actually I purchased for that one purpose only
    so can any one tell me how can i see the pictures in TV ..
    and what should i need and what should i do?

    Yes, you can STORE pictures and/or video files on your mini. That's all you can do with them though - store them. This is so you can move them from your computer to another computer, but while they're on your iPod, there's really nothing you can do with them.
    The firmware in the mini simply does not have any capabilities to process the files to output to a tv.
    The iPods with color displays are able to display photos (not video) on a tv, but not the mini or any iPod without a color display.

  • New (Used) Ipod Mini Owner

    My friend is a Ipod Guru and recently gave me a old Ipod Mini Model M9160LL (I dunno if that is a 1st or 2nd gen). I am killing myself trying to figure out how to get my PC to recognize it. I have all 2.0 USB Port on my pc (But I have tried them all), I have tried the Apple "5 R's" with no luck and I have downloaded the newest version of I-Tunes.
    My PC will not recognize the Ipod at all, and obviously if I cant pass this stage the I-Tunes will not see it either. The current version according to the Ipod is 1.4.1
    If anyone can please help I would greatly appreciate it!

    I have the same issue...Okay, I will try to describe my question as best as I can..first I have Windows Vista, 32 bit, and use IE. My niece had her iPod nano on my computer and everything worked fine; since then she got a laptop for Christmas therefore, I was able to delete the iTunes and anything else to do with iPod she has. Now, I was given an iPod from my nephew's girlfriend, which is an iPod Mini however, I had to go and buy a "kit" with it. The kit I bought came with what I am not guessing is the firewire (connecting the iPod to my laptop), and charger to plug in the wall and etc. cant remember everything but I'm sure you get my point). I cannot get my iPod to be noticed by my computer or iTunes...I have researched so many articles online and nothing seems to be the answer. I have reset the iPod (5 Rs), and I have put it into disk mode however, what I was reading stated when I plugged the iPod into my computer, the "Ok to disconnect" should change to "Do not connect" and it doesn't.

  • Can I use AC charger from ipod mini on new nano???

    My son had an ipod mini. He had bought an AC charger for it. I am buying him an ipod nano for his birthday (ipod mini went bad...). Can he use the charger from the mini to the nano???

    Maybe, depends on the charger. It would appear that while older iPods only needed the power pins, newer ones may require the data pins to also be active for charging. Some chargers do not connect the data pins at all.
    But it won't damage the Nano. It will either work fine or do nothing at all.
    Which charger is it?

  • My Ipod mini gives error -47 (ipod cannot be updated, the required file is in use).

    When I try to sync my Ipod mini, I get the following error : Error -47 (ipod cannot be updated, the required file is in use).  My software is all up to date and the ipod was restored.  Nothing helped, how do I fix this?  I have a macbook pro.
    Thanks

    I just tries that,
    So you were able to find that setting via Sophos -> Preferences?
    It has to be some other process/application on your system that is trying to access the iPod then.

  • How come i can't use my ipod mini as a hard drive

    I learnt how to use my ipod mini as a hard drive by watching the video on this web site. But after I check "enable disc use" and then exit out of itunes, nothing happens. it says in the video that after you exit out of itunes a box will appear showing your ipod and then you can begin adding files to your ipod, but this doesn't happen for me. can you tell me why?

    Go to My Computer and find your iPod, it would be under removable disks.

    Never tried it.
    There are other softwares that you can download that can do this also. Search the forum for something like "computer crashed" and you'll get plenty.
    I hope this helps!

  • My ipod mini ACTUALLY only has 2.36 GB of space...help

    does anyone else's ipod mini already have 1.41 gb of space eaten up even though there are no songs on your ipod?
    if so, can someone please tell me how to delete that 1.41 gb of space?
    maybe my ipod mini is just defected....=(

    Moe,
    It's probably just a software glitch on the iPod which can be cured by restoring it.
    Use the latest iPod updater for this (not the supplied CD), and when the updater asks you to connect the iPod, do so and choose restore.
    If you have more questions, post back.
