16gb ipod lost memory space

i bought 16gb 5th generation ipod nano from Amazon and just received it today.
i checked memory space of my ipod, the total capacity is only 14.8gb. i bought a new and i haven't put any musics or photos in it. does anyone having the same problem?

Hello RayAl124.
I have the same ipod and when i first connected it, it had the same amount of memory (14.8gb). The reason why it doesnt have 16gb is because the ipod comes with built in software, games, etc. this is the reason for the missing 1.2gb.

  • IPod lost Memory?

    My iPod is the iPod 512MB but not it says that my iPod has 489MB. I tried to Restore it to Factory Settings and I did Update as well. It still didn't work. I don't know why it's not 512MB anymore, it used to be until now. Can anyone help me out with this one? Thanks.

    Nothing is ever exactly how it is asvertised size-wise. 512MB or 1GB is never physically that size to the computer. Bytes are the metric measurement of size, while the operating system uses the binary prefixes to calculate actual size. To better understand it, you should check out this nice bit of info.

  • After installing from ios 5, we lost memory. How could we get more momory space? Or could we disable some features from ios 5 for operating on ipod touch? We can't get all apps and music on this device, which were on the phone on ios 4 before. Help us!!!

    How could we go to ios4, when ios5 uses so much memory space?

    Start by setting it up as new device, without using the latest backup to restore your settings: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If your "other" section is bigger than 1GB, there have been problems during the sync process and some data got damaged. Only a restore can reduce the size back to normal again.

  • My iPod touch will not let me download more apps, though I have sufficent memory space, and other internet based functions are running...

    though I have sufficent memory space, and other internet based functions are running...

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    However, since it works with other networks that really suggests a problem with your network.

  • Why is my iPod Touch 5 removing songs I have synched? Plenty memory space

    Why is my iPod Touch 5 removing songs I have synched? Plenty memory space. It seems to be deleting tracks which I can then download from iCloud (if there is wifi) but I dont want that

    Seems like you have the incorrect sync settings

  • I have a 16gb ipod 5 and it took all of my space and I'm left with 2.9

    I have a 16gb ipod 5 and it took all of my space and I'm left with 2.9

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    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.

  • Lost memory 30G to 6G

    iPod clasic 5th gen 30G is losing memory now only hold approx. 6G last week 9 and the week before 12G. I have tried to reset/reload only to appear to make it worse. Anyone else having this problem or have any suggestions to help?

    Hi,
    I assume you mean lost hard drive space verses lost memory as in the title of this post.
    Boot up Windows 7 and go to Administrative Tools---->Computer Management ---> Disk Management and fully expand the screen.  Look over the sizes for all of the partitions.
    BTW, what partition did you try to divide and why?

  • Syncing photos into my IPAD 2 is eating up my macbook memory space, it didn't with my IPAD1, is there a way to fix this?

    I have a IPAD generation 1 and i just got my iPAD 2 last week, both ipad are 64 gb. I have a picture collection folder on my macbook pro desktop that is around 45 gb that i need for my work.The problem was that when i tried to sync this folder into my ipad 2, it started eating up a considerable amount of my computer memory space leaving me with around 13 gb left and mysteriously adding more gb to the foldering (it is around 90gb now). I've had my Ipad 1 for a while and it has never been a problem when i sync the same folder, i was also able to store a lot more document folders on my desktop before my ipad 2 came along. im wondering if the IPAD 2 somehow creates backup files of things it syncs within my computer and how i can get back my computer memory space?

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restor from backup
    - Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod.
    You can also look at the previous discussion on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with yuor same poblem.

  • My ipod lost all of my songs

    my ipod lost all of the information for all the songs i had on my ipod... the songs are there because it is an 8g 4th generation ipod, but says it only has 4g of memory left... i had plugged it into my computer, but it wasn't registering, so i pulled it out, but after i had pulled it out it said it had registered... when i plugged it back in, my songs and playlists were gone... my memory still says it only has 4g left while if the songs were actually deleted, there would be 8g memory left... i don't want to reload all of my songs to my ipod... is there a way i can get my songs back without having to format my ipod and start over?

    The only way to fix it is to restore your iPod to the original settings. Just get it going before you go to bed, and it'll be done in the morning.

  • I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff.  How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos?

    iTunes stores your iPhone backups in the Library folder in your Home folder.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:

  • Bug in iOS 8 via Streaming iTunes Video results in lost storage space

    Hi,
    i am from Germany and i am cant believe that i this Problem is a Problem what not all ios 8 Users has.
    While streaming a Movie or TV Show from the iCloud through the Apple Video app; now under iOS 8, the "Other"-Memory Space go higher and higher. When i want delete the Movie Files like on iOS 7 before i go to the "Manage Storage" Option but there is no Videos Folder anymore. I cant delete the Files. On the Info Options in the Setting is see there is 1 Video on the iPad but i cant delete the Files.
    I also force quit the VIDEO app or restart the Device - no changes. The Video Files are on the Storage. But i cant see them and delete them.
    Today i talk with the Apple Support and reset the Device complete with a new iOS 8.1. Then i installed no Apps , only try to play a Video. Same Bug.
    Powering the phone down and re-starting it did not seem to do anything.
    Who has the same bug and what can i do ? Any Tipps here?
    Thanks and sorry for the long question

    It may not officially stream, but  it does behave as follows:
    No videos watched - available storage: 16GB
    Video watched from cloud by clicking on title of video and not by clicking on iCloud download icon - available storage on device: 11GB
    Open storage usage detail and content of video app is not showing.
    Download the video watched in step 2 using the iCloud download icon - available storage still 11GB
    Open storage usage detail in settings and now the video content in 5GB
    Delete the video downloaded in step 4 and available device storage is back up to 16GB.
    That may not be streaming, but it is a bug. The worst thing is that sometimes steps 4-6 don't work and so my "Other" storage just become cluttered with content and a complete wipe and setup as new device is required.
    I have now seen the above so many times that I am in no doubt at all that this defect is real.
    That is simply not acceptable.

  • How do you fit 4000 song on an 16gb ipod nano

    how do you fit 4000 song on an 16gb ipod nano?

    The songs need to be short enough and have a low enough bitrate to be able to fit into that space.

  • Memory space using a 32bit Java process on Redhat Linux

    I have a java process that I need a lot of memory for. Its a 32 bit process, and I have no desire to have it as 64bit due to the huge pointers it forces.
    So I know I can turn to Solaris where I will have close to 4GB of memory available for this process (right?). But are there Linux alternatives? I am especially curious regarding Redhat on intel64 machines as I have (which is the common desktop hardware nowadays).
    I heard about the hugemem kernel for Redhat, but I am lost understading its nature. It is said it is not available for v.5 for x86. So is it available for the intel64 processors as I have? And what is the max memory space for a java process?
    Any other bit of information about java 32bit process running on a linux flavor on an intel64 machine will be greatly appreciated.
    thanks in advance!

    I'd say this is normal. There are a few things to consider when looking at an application like this:
    1. The 14 MB your process consumes include the memory required to load the java virtual machine. That is, all the base classes, native links, the just in time compiler etc. 14 MB isn't a lot, all things considered.
    2. When you display a message box, java will load additional classes and resources. They increase the heap size, though not really by 4 MB. Java preallocates portions of memory for the heap. If, for instance, your application consumes 16 MB of memory and you allocate another MB, the heap size may grow to 32 MB. Having a free section of heap space to spare increases performance, since java won't have to ask the underlying system for free memory every you create an object. You might want to check out your program in JVisualVM (deployed with every JDK6), which will tell you how much of the allocated heap size is really in use, or you can rely on the according methods in the Runtime class.
    3. The JVM is capable of 'heap shrinking', meaning it will return allocated sections of memory to the OS once in a while. However, it will not do so unless the heap size is significantly larger than the used portion of the heap (otherwise, it would defeat the purpose of preallocating memory). So if you allocate 2GB of RAM when clicking your button and allow this memory to be cleared by the garbage collector, you'll observe that the heap will shrink again eventually.

  • Z420 bios error 110 out of memory space for option roms

    Hi,
    I want to attach a SCSI RAID drive to the PC to copy the contents off onto a new drive, but when I do I receive this message:
    10—Out of memory space for option ROMs   Option ROM for a device could not run because of memory constraints.
    I know that under the Setup Menu/Advanced/Power On Options you are supposed to set the ACPI/USB Buffers @ Top of Memory setting to Enable, but unfortunately my version of BIOS doesn't contain this option.
    Can anyone tell me what I can turn off in my system to allow it to operate with the ATTO card?
    I also have a NVIDIA K4000 card installed and an AJA Io Express PCI card installed.  These both work fine without the ATTO card inserted into the machine.
    Thanks in advance!
