30gb video ipod showing incorrect storage capacity

Hi,
I have a 30gb ipod. When I connect the ipod & open itunes or ipod updater, the ipod appears with an incorrect storage capacity.
The updater shows all other information correctly, except for Capacity, which shows at 65.0GB
With nothing on the ipod, Itunes shows used: 4.49GB, free: 58.99GB. If I try to transfer any files I get a message saying that there is not enough free space to transfer the files.
I have restored to factory settings, re-installing all software, changing usb ports etc but nothing seems to have helped...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt.

  • Ipod Touch showing incorrect storage capacity

    I have an Ipod Touch 64 GB 5th Gen running iOS 8.2. I'm not certain when this issue occurred initially from the devices perspective - only when I first noticed it. The device was running 8.1.1.3 at the time. I was working with it in Itunes and clicked on the iPods summary screen to check for the iOS 8.2 update. I noticed the capacity of the device was showing as 56.62 GB. Available space was 43.19. The little memory symbol for the Ipod shows 64 GB. I was troubled by the capacity message. Ran Itunes diagnostics:

    No help there. I ran the Update to iOS 8.2. Succesful. Still same capacity. Checked the iPod's Gerneral/About screen - Capacity listed 56.6 GB.
    Have I lost access to 8 GB of capacity here? Should I reset the thing?

    Total of Audio, Video and App Data is 14.12 GB.  Available shows 43.19 GB. That adds up to 57.31.GB. So there is a 700 K discrepancy. Total Photo Data happens to be 700 K. Just saying.

    You only have 56.6 GB available to you. The difference between that and the 64 GB advertised capacity is taken up by:
    The operating system since you can't use that for storage
    and how GB is advertised and used/reported by the operating system. See:
    How OS X and iOS report storage capacity - Apple Support
    The update did not change anything except likely reducing the capacity by 10 or so MB since update typically add things and thus takes more storage for the operating system

  • HT4863 iCloud Mail is showing incorrect storage capacity

    My Mailbox is currently showing 3.1 GB capacity, and is causing huge trouble in my iCloud backup and operations in several of my iDevices including my mac.
    When I open my iCloud account, I've ensured I deleted majority all of my previous email and is left with less than 1 MB worth of emails. I've also emptied my trash bin and cleared both Junk Folder and Sent Items.
    Even after all the clean-up the email capacity never moved and remained the same?
    Is there a bug?
    Can I just delete this email account in iCloud and re-create it to avoid this HUGE 3.1 GB it is misreporting?

  • 30gb video ipod - capacity paradox

    Hello,
    I've recently bought the fith generation 30gb video ipod. It's working fine apart from a possible capacity paradox...
    In the ipod section in itunes the full capacity reads 27.86GB. The capacity meter reads as follows...
    Audio 9.44GB
    Video 17.7MB
    Photos 209.6MB
    Free Space 26.44GB
    If you add them all up the total is way above the possible full capacity available???
    Anyone experiencing the same thing?
    G4 + Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi there. The same thing started happening to my 60GB iPod just today. Maximum capacity is supposed to be 55.68GB and as of yesterday I had about 2GB of free space left.
    When I plugged it in today I noticed a bit of a change on the bar below where it shows me what occupies what space.
    Audio: 33.63
    Video: 23.13
    Photos: 472.7
    Free Space: 18.98
    It obviously doesn't add up to 55.68. At first I thought maybe stuff was missing from my iPod but I unplugged it and everything was there. I plugged it back in and it still said the same thing.
    I then tried to sync more stuff with my iPod, like tv shows and music videos and they all seem to fit, even though I know that at least one of the shows is near 2GB of space, and all the shows I added should be around 5GB.
    Should I be freaking out? Is this a bad thing? Should I reset it?

  • Video Files Not Showing Up On 30GB Video iPod

    I bought a few television show episodes directly from iTunes, but my 30GB Video iPod is not recognizing the files. They show up, as well as play, in iTunes, but they aren't shown in the "Video" section of my iPod.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    With the ipod connected, in itunes, goto edit>preferences>ipod tab>Video sub tab and set it to update videos you want "AUto update ALL" or "AUto update SELECT"

  • 30GB Video iPod quirks...

    I have been having some odd issues with my new 30GB Video ipod. First, it sometimes doesnt want to unmount. I have to turn off most software and log out of other open accounts before it may (or may not) work. Second, I was playing music on it today and noticed that while they showed up in the playlists, the name of the songs as they played were blank. It showed the album art, but nothing else. Oh, and the icon for a video was in the upper right of the screen...weird! I restored it and now it seems fine, but I'm not sure if anyone else is having similar quirks. Anyone?.........Bueller?......Bueller?

    PLEASE DON'T POST IN CAPS LOCK, AS IT IS SIMILAR TO
    SCREAMING.
    This sounds like your alarm is set. Go to
    Extras-->Clocks and make sure that the alarms are
    off. Make sure there are no alarms set for your
    calendar either.

    THANKS I WILL CHECK THAT OUT. AND IF YOU THINK THAT USING CAPS IS SCREAMING, THEN YOU GOT QUIRKS! EVER THINK THAT I USE CAPS FOR MY BAD VISION? I HAVE TO USE A MAGNIFYING GLASS FOR MY I POD. IT'S NOT ABOUT SCREAMING ALL THE TIME.

  • ITunes freezes when trying to add songs to 30GB video iPod

    Here's my situation exactly:
    I just bought a 30GB Video iPod with some songs and videos already uploaded onto it. After much reading, I found out how to get the songs from the iPod onto my computer so I could put them into my iTunes library. I added some songs and videos of my own to my iTunes library and tried to update my iPod. The iTunes program says do not disconnect-- updating iPod but my iPod doesn't say anything. The funny thing is that the actual iPod says do not disconnect until I open iTunes and try updating it, then the do not disconnect msg goes away on the iPod. I left my computer on for about 12+ hours straight while iTunes said Do not disconnect.. woke up the next morning and iTunes was frozen-- no new songs on the iPod. What could the issue be exactly? I have slight issues with my usb ports-- for example; sometimes they do not recognize things plugged into them (memory sticks, printers)... BUT it does recognize my iPod-- it shows up in my computer as a removeable disk drive or something, plus as soon as I plug it in the iPod says do not disconnect. I definitely need help though... I'm dying to put some songs of my own on this thing.
    Things I have tried so far:
    Deleting and installing iTunes and everything else again
    Restarting computer and iPod-- of course
    Tried plugging it into diff. usb ports

    I'm assuming the usb hardware problem may be a good possibility because I've always had problems with my usb ports. I can't get a printer to work or those Scandisk things. My assumption is perhaps u can take files from things plugged into the usb ports but you can't add files/etc to things plugged into the usb ports. I will still attempt what you told me to do. I just don't want to lose what I currently have on my iPod and be stuck with a blank iPod because I use it quite often. Maybe a new computer should be my next purchase? Thanks so much!

  • I've got a 7 year old 30gb video ipod and the headphone port no longer works! Please help :)

    I've got a 7 year old 30gb video ipod and the headphone port no longer works.
    I went to the Apple shop and they said it is now vintage and they can't fix my baby they offered me 10% to trade her in for a new model...
    what else can I try to save her?  I've tried cleaning and wiggling and restoring. Everything looks and feels ok.

    I've just found 'iPod Dock Connector Headphone Jack' on ebay it as an adapter that will connect my earphones via the wide ipod port better than 10% of something new

  • 30gb video ipod need help putting videos on it!!!

    yea i just got a 30gb video ipod for my b-day and i have home videos that i want on the ipod but i dont know how...can yea guys help me out????

    If the videos are already in one of the compatible formats, drag them into the iTunes library and then use these instructions to send them to the iPod. If not, use an application such as this one to convert the videos, and then proceed as above.

  • Video Ipod showing multiple photo's

    I imported my videos and music fine onto my 30gb video ipod. However when i did the same for my photos, it displayed 3 or 4 of the same photo for every photo.
    Please Help,
    It's really annoying!!

    I have the same problem, but i beleive it is because I have some of the same photos in my picture folder as i have in my iphoto libary. so when I import from my picture folder it will import everything in the picture folder, and of course the whole iphoto libary, becase this is in the pictures folder. so i figued this is why i had 2 or 3 of everything. are you importing from your pictures folder or iphoto libary? cos if its from pictures folder your probably having the same problem as me. trouble is don't know how to delete the extra photos off my ipod, can anyone help?

  • 30gb video iPod is playing songs out of order.

    I have a 30gb Video iPod (4 or 5 years old).  It has suddenly started playing album tracks in the wrong order.  When I look at the album track listing, the songs are the correct order, but it won't play them that way.  It's always in a different, arbitrary order.  Please help!  Thanks in advance.

    First, try doing a Reset to restart the iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    If that does not help, and this problem only affects ONE album, and this album's songs are seen as having the correct Track # information in iTunes, what I would do is delete just this album from the iPod.  Then, add it back.  If there is some corrupted data on the iPod related to the album's song order, this should fix it.
    If it's happened to all albums (or many albums) on the iPod, I would do a Restore on the iPod using iTunes.  Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  Click the Restore button.  This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.

  • 30GB Video Ipod must restore, but cant due to error 1418

    So I was listening to my ipod yesterday and it was fine. I picked a new song, and it started to skip songs rapidly. It all of a sudden messed and now it says I need to restore it. I plugged my ipod into my itunes (which is completly up to date) and itunes says
    "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod."
    Disconnecting and reconnecting gave me the same thing, so I clicked restore. Since I'm on a mac, i typed in the correct user name and password. Then I get the error
    "The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1418)"
    and when I click Ok, the iPod screen goes away and I'm left with an iPod that needs to be restored. I've repeated the steps many times and the same messages come up over and over and over. What can I do here?

    weeman,
    i'm a pc user and i'm having the same problem with my 30gb video ipod (5th generation). the latest version of itunes cannot restore my ipod to its original setting because of a corrupted file. tell me this, when you turn on your ipod, does the apple logo appears followed by a message in four different languages saying that you need to connect your ipod to a computer and use itunes to restore. my ipod displays no colors at all. i've searched everywhere in the apple website and there are no solutions and my computer couldn't even format it.

  • 30Gb Video Ipod - trying to use Itrip

    I bought my husband a 30Gb video Ipod for graduation from the Apple store. Then, for Christmas I bought him an Itrip from Target. I assumed it would work fine, but it says it needs an Ipod (with dock connector). Is there a way to buy a dock connector or retrofit his Ipod? I don't remember seeing the option of a 30Gb video WITH dock connector when I purchased it on-line at the Apple store. I thought I was buying the best/newest with everything....what do you recommend I do? Thanks, Jenny

    hi Jenny,
    the 5th generation iPod with video does have a dock connector. the only iPod that doesn't is the iPod shuffle. so the griffin iTrip with dock connector is compatible with your 30GB iPod. the dock connector is the same slot used to plug the USB cable into(at the bottom of the iPod). early models of the iTrip plugged into the headphone jack and expansion slot(at the top of older models).
    all you need to do is plug the iTrip into the bottom of the iPod(the long skinny rectangular hole). consult your manual if you need further detail.
