242 Songs= 7.6 GB?!?!?!?! I need help now!

My computer crashed a while back and I have just been able to get all my songs onto the new computer. I tried to sync my iPod and it said there wasn't enough space so I restored it to its orginal settings and tried to sync again. It still said not enough room. It put 242 songs on the iPod and says that is 7.6 GB...I'm not good with technology but I know thats not right. So, I need help. I've tried everything I can think of and I'm stuck and frustrated. Please help!

Do you mean the MP3s take up more room and AAC files or do you mean WAV files (you wrote "AAV")?
I assume you mean AAC (which are MPEG-4 audio files). If so, that is normal. At the same bit rate, AAC files take up a bit less space than MP3 files. Apple claims that a 128kbps AAC is as good as or better than an MP3 at 160-kbps in sound quality. So they maintain you can either get the same or better sound quality with AAC but with less space (if you encode both at the same bit rate) or if the MP3s are encoded at 160 kbps you save even more space.
Sounds nice, but I have never actually noticed a big difference between AAC and MP3 files, but then again I also encode my stuff at 192-kbps in MP3 format and most of my iTunes and iPod listening are on earbuds, in cars, or through the computer and the multimedia speakers I have hooked up to it (better than the built in speakers, but still budget speakers), so I am not listening to these through high end equipment.
I personally use MP3 since it is a universal audio standard where as AAC is not. So my MP3s can easily go onto MP3 CDs for my wife's alpine stereo CD charger in her trunk or onto a GPS unit that plays MP3s or a mobile phone that plays MP3s, etc. I don't have to mess with much conversion for various devices.
Anyway, the choice is yours and only you can decide which you like best to your ears. You will get arguments on either side of the fence but my own opinion is that the differences between AAC and MP3, for the types of music I listen to and how and where I listen to them, is insignificant and so I just use MP3 since everyone/everything can play those.
Cheers,
Patrick

Podcast Producer is part of OSX server and is something I have no experience of. It is expecting your to be running your own server - AFAIK it's not designed for use when you are expecting to host on a commercially run server but I'm not sure about that. You should ask in the OS X Server forum applicable to the version you have. If you are not running OSX server then this program appears not to be suitable for you.

I have just reset my password about a hundred times and still the face time and I messenger is not working, I previously used FaceTime once and now I need help urgently
What am I not doing?

Hi fatbear711. are the following as follows? Settings/restrictions: Facetime and Camera are both ON? Also in Game centre at bottom 'Adding Friends" is turned on? If all ok, log into your account via itunes App, Click on your ID at bottom left of say the Music page, then click to 'Manage', enter password. On next page click on your apple ID at top, then select to go to '[email protected]'. Log in on the browser window page that appears and confirm that your primary apple ID and primary email have been verified (should have green ticks and the word 'verified' next to them. If you use itunes on a pc to sync with then do this through iTunes;Store menu on your pc, ensuring that you sync your device once finshed. You will also need to check that your device is set to the correct timezone and time in your devices settings page. If problem still persists at least we'll know the basics are ok.
When you post again can you also include whether ipad2/3 etc and iOS e.g. 5.3.1/6.01 etc
Best regards

I bought an album and one of the songs wouldn't play I need help

I bought an album on iTunes and one of the songs won't play

Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Thanks very much!!!

First thing to try, is booting from the restore DVD and installing a fresh copy of 10.6. If you're lucky, the 10.6.4 update just hosed your OS install, and a simple reinstall is all that's needed.
Once you've booted to the 10.6 installer, it couldn't hurt to run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu to verify the SMART status of the drive, and even run a repair disk operation on it.
If the SMART status is failed, or Disk Utility doesn't see the drive, then you're looking at a hardware failure. You'll need to take it somewhere to be fixed if it's under warranty, otherwise if you have some precision screwdrivers like a PH000 and Torx T4, you can replace the drive yourself with pretty much any 2.5" SATA drive.

Currupted ipod please need help now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

this first started happenin when i downloading itunes 7.0

PLEASE HELP!!!!
this ipod is my baby:(((((

My 1st guess is the
Lin MB Eq on the OUT fader
512@96 is the time you are giving to process the entire chain ( in to track to bus to master... ), in this case - probably not enough if you think about it from a sample sized signal flow perspective including what needs to be processed in what time. That plug is probably requesting a fair amount of lookahead, etc - depends on your PDC settings. What do your system performance meters show? At some point, there is probably just an odd bottleneck bringing Logic down if you expect much more and are familiar with your tools. It's up to you to try to find exactly where it is. Some plugs won't operate at smaller buffer sizes ( keep SR in mind ) - or will cause Logic to falter, or even cause Logic to look like it's working - but produce no sound.

Getting error message... Need help now..

I was using my powerbook g3 and all of a sudden i get a message pop up on the screen. It says: you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button.
I held down the power button for several seconds numerous times and it did nothing.
Then i pushed control-command-power buttons at same time and the computer restarts, just to the same spot, with the same message.
I even found the manual restart button on the back and got the same result.
Please help me. How do i get rid of this message and use my computer again? I have 3 sports pages to get done this weekend. I need my laptop to work.
I am running os 10.3.9
there is also a 9.2 os on computer as well.
Please help!!!!!

Robert:
You are likely experiencing what is called a kernel panic. These may be either hardware or software based. To shut down the computer hold down the Power button for about five seconds. You will find more about KPs and troubleshooting information in Dr. Smoke's FAQ Resolving Kernel Panics. If you are able to locate the crash log, please post the last one, as that may be helpful in pinpointing the cause of the issue.
