30GB - Wrong Capacity, only 15,9 GB available

Hello there,
I purchased a 30GB iPod 5 days ago. The Capacity of the iPod shown under "about" - "capacity" is only 15.9 GB. I tried to restore with Software Version 1.1 for several times, the capacity is still 15.9 GB. It should be 27.X GB, shouldn't it?
Has anyone here got the same problem or is anyone here who can help me?
Sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language

Thank's for your reply. I'm not alone
I think it will be better to substitute my iPod with a new one. I'll contact my distributor tomorrow 'cause I don't think that there is a solution to this problem. I think this is a case of guarantee, so that it will not make any problems.
@sonic: Did you contact your distributor yet?

Displays capacity of 511 MB and available 143 GB

Hi,
I have recentley (2 days ago) installed a new 5G 30GB ipod onto my computer; i have transferred music and all has been fine.
Annoyingly, when i tried to plug it in today things went wrong. it was firsty not recognised in itunes but was recognised in device manager as a hard drive and i could see it as an apple ipod in safely remove hardware. However when trying to eject it, it went to the apple logo screen.
After resetting the ipod it took a few minutes for the language menu to appear. once through that we noticed that all music has been deleted. further after opening the settings menu it appears to freeze (unable to scroll, but we can go back out) and the displays a capacity of 511 MB and available 143 GB which is clearly wrong.
I daren't do anything else to it; if anyone has any suggestions please come forward.
Thanks
Dan

You have a drive letter conflict in Windows.
You'll need to go into Disk Management and assign a unique drive letter to your iPod, as it is currently trying to use a drive letter that is assigned to another volume on your system.

X230t with 128SSD, but only 96.1 GB available (and 41.7GB free)??

Hello,
Like the title says, I have an x230t with 128SSD (only programs installed are norton and microsoft office/student ed.) and out of the box only 96.1 GB available. Even worse, of that only 41.7 GB is free.
I have close to 7GB of personal data on here... so what is taking over 50GB of space? also.. how come around 30GB isn't available? (doesn't this seem like too much?)
Thanks

Sorry for my late reply. I just configured a X230t with 128GB SSD and here are my findings about it:
1. the SSD is actually only 119.24 GB due to marketing BS where they claim 1GB is 1 billion bytes instead of 1.074 billion bytes. The end result is that the SSD capacity is actually 7.4% less than advertised. This is something that the HDD/SDD vendors do in their technical specs, and I don't know why.
2. 1.46 GB is reserved as a System Partition, which contains things necessary to boot Windows, do System Restores, and also Factory Recovery.
3. 13.67 GB is reserved for the Factory Recovery partition (Q drive). As I mentioned you can easily recover this space by clicking on the Q drive (after creating your recovery media).
4. 8 GB is reserved for a hibernation partition, for the purpose of 30-day standby. I can help you recover this space if you want.
This leaves 59.9 GB free (of 96.1 GB) on the C drive, which means 36.2 GB of the C drive is in use without any personal data or apps on the system:
a. the "C:\Windows" folder is 15.2 GB
b. the "C:\Program Files" folder is 1.34 GB
c. the "C:\Program Files (x86)" folder is 3.10 GB
d. the "C:\swtools" folder is 4.94 GB
e. the hibernation file (c:\hiberfil.sys) is around 6 GB (assuming you have 8GB of RAM)
f. the pagefile (c:\pagefile.sys) is around 8 GB (assuming you have 8GB of RAM)
a-f adds up to about 38 GB and due to how Windows adds up in-use HDD space, everything is accounted for.
Here are some things you can do to increase free space, if you want to:
1. click on the Q drive, create your recovery media, and then recover the drive space (13.67 GB reclaimed)
2. delete the "C:\swtools" folder (4.94 GB reclaimed)
3. turn off Windows hibernation if you don't use it (6-8 GB reclaimed)
4. delete the hibernation partition if you don't care about 30-day standby (8 GB reclaimed)

Only overview & pictures are available

After blue screen on my notebook the Apple TV doesn't work correct with iTunes. The tabs movies etc are all missing. Only overview & pictures are available.
How can I activate the tabs movies etc in my iTunes?

if you did the 1th part to pair rather then to share
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1143
then maybe the atv is showhow still set to sync with a wrong computer rather then the one you want it to
otherwise i would prob try to do a clean install of itunes
or maybe if your itunes lost it's relation with itunestore you dont get the rented movies tab but you should still get the fold out menu for the atv under devices

Brand new iPad mini 2 32 gig , only 22.3 GB available memory. Is this normal?

Hi , yesterday I bought from John Lewis an iPad Mini 2 with 32 GD.
All I have doe with it is look at a couple of internet pages. I was very surprised to see in the settings / general that the available space is 22.3 GB from a capacity of 27.4 GB .... how can this be ?
The iPad came with 7.1.2 installed, and I have left that on.
How can there only be 22.3GB available ... that would suggest someone who bought a 16 GB, would only have 6.2GB available.
Could someone please explain ? I get the 27.4GB capacity (I assume 4.6GB used for the OS .... but 22.3 available ?

This lack of memory on a brand new device suggests that the iOS 8 update was automatically pushed to your device. This will happen if your device is connected to a valid Wi-Fi connection, is plugged in to the charger or a live PC and there is ample storage space on the device to hold the update. Apple seems to think that users want this huge update auto-pushed to them...I don't think this is the case at all.
Check to see if the auto-pushed iOS 8 update has indeed been installed: Settings/General/Usage. Wait for the list to populate fully and check for an iOS 8 update near the top of the list (largest app are listed at the top). You can delete this update as you can with any other app from the list. Tap on it, then tap the Delete button.

"Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005?"
They will only be where you put them If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country. You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

Can I use iPad (in contract) in other countries while I am travelling with there local SIM? Or, only WiFi will be available when I travel?

Can I use iPad (in contract) in other countries while I am travelling with there local SIM?
Or, only WiFi will be available when I travel? Or, nothing will work?

Either will work. 4G only works in Canada and the USofA. In foreigh countries the New iPad will fall back to 3G if you have a local sim and iPad data plan from a local provider.

Trying to add podcasts to shuffle I tunes says they are there but when I play them only a few are available?

trying to add podcasts to shuffle I tunes says they are there but when I play them only a few are available?

Hello rhdarby2,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1831
Adding Audiobooks and Podcasts to iPod shuffle
The Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to any iPod model. They can be manually added by dragging them to the iPod shuffle in iTunes.
For iPod shuffle (3rd generation), you must enable Manually manage music in the Summary tab to drag songs to iPod shuffle. Additionally, you can automatically sync audiobooks using the Music tab and sync podcasts using the Podcasts tab in iTunes.
Have a nice day,
Mario

When is the next update for iphone carrier setting?I cant change my carrier to 2g!!!There is only 3g or LTE available for me.

when is the next update for iphone carrier setting?I cant change my carrier to 2g!!!There is only 3g or LTE available for me.

Carrier Settings are dependent entirely on your carrier. 2G is old outdated and slow etc, most carriers are phasing out their 2G service. You would need to ask your carrier when they plan on releasing a new update.
Why on earth do you want to set your iPhone to 2G? It will automatically switch to 2G if 3G is not available, and 2G is found.

HT4059 My IOS is 4.1, iphone 4. Where can I get ibooks-1? In itunes only ibooks 3 is available which requires ios6+.

My IOS is 4.1, iphone 4. Where can I get ibooks-1? Even ibooks 2 is also unavailable.
It they are now out of support, then is there any other application that I can use for pdf books reading? I only want to download books from itunes or my collection and to read them over my iphone.
In itunes only ibooks 3 is available which requires ios6+.
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards,
Muhaimin

Only the current version of each app is available for download from the store, so for iBooks there is only the version that requires iOS 5+
There are other apps in the store which support PDFs, though I don't how many work on iOS 4.1 - 'PDF Manager Free' appears to be one, and the Stanza app also says that it supports PDFs

Is there a feature in iCS that shows only the time scheduled/available on my calendar?

Is there a filter mode that will mask the content of my schedule and show only
the time scheduled/available?
<P>
This feature, which will be called "free/busy" time, will be included in the
next major release of iPlanet Calendar Server. There will be an Access Control
List(ACL) that provides Free/Busy access, as opposed to only Read access.

Apps are on my iPad and worked fine with iOS 6. When iOS7 was loaded, I can no longer sign in to these two apps using my Apple ID. These apps are on my phone and work fine. This problem is on on my iPad.

W8 RSAT Server Manager showing wrong capacity!?

Hello!
I connect from my W8 workstation to Hyper-V Server 2012 remotely and apparently Server Manager shows the wrong capacity in Gibibyte (by factor 10), but the right one in Byte!?
Is this a bug? Any suggestions?
L.

Using Windows 8.1 to connect to a Windows 2012 R2 server, this issue doesn't appear anymore!
I should close this thread as "answered", but since there has never been any answer, e. g. by those who fixed this bug, I leave it open, hoping that anybody responsible reads it and in future we'll get proper answers! Like this hypothetical answer:
"Hi! We checked the source code and indeed there was a bug. It will be addressed by one of the next Windows Updates."
I think this hypothetical answer, including checking the source, would have cost a quarter developer-hour the maximum!

I am trying to download and purchase Captivate 7 and see that only Captivate 8 is available for purchase. Am I missing something???

Hi Jillaine
I spent a whole day trying to get my hands on Captivate 7! I finally got it at a decent price from buy.com (Rakuten.com), which is an authorized Adobe Reseller. The product was fulfilled by a third party but it is genuine and I am very happy with the purchase. Hope this helps!
