4th gen 8gb ipod touch tiny memory

I have a 4th gen 8gb ipod touch and I can only put around 28 albums on, my dad has a 3rd gen 8gb ipod touch and can put 58+ albums on it, why is my memory so small in comparison?

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.
Also, the music can have different compression. You can go to the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes and check the box that says "Convert higher bitrate songs to XX kbps ACC. A good compression is 128

  • I just bought a 4th gen 8GB iPod touch ,won't connect to iTunes/iStore I've been told by support that I have to have a WiFi network.  We travel in an RV, never near a WiFi network.I have a USB Telstra mobile b'band dongle. How can  I get iPod to work

    th gen. 8GB iPod Touch.  It won't connect to iStore. Support say it has to have access to a WiFi network. We travel a lot in an RV and rarely have access to WiFi.  I connect the iPod to a laptop which has a Telstra USB mobile broadband  dongle.  I explained this in detail and was told by the sales assistant that the iPod would work on this setup.  It doesn't.  Has anyone got around this problem?

    Go back to the sales assistant and gently place the iPod where...  well, you get the idea.

  • My 4th gen 8GB Ipod touch is full even though I've only got 600 songs.

    My 4th generation Ipod touch has 600 songs and no apps, yet when I plug it in to my computer it's filled with 5.5gb of 'other'. I've looked in the settings to see what the other is but it won't say. I've reverted my Ipod to its factory settings deleted everything bar my music and yet it's still full. Help.

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup...
    But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
    Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • 3rd gen 8GB ipod touch stuck on connect to itunes

    This isn't fair. I just bought this 3rd gen 8gb ipod touch (my first ipod ever, only owned Mp3 players) from best buy today and i can't even use it...
    I'm going to start from square one, this will be long-winded, so forgive me in advance. But detail might help you guys help me out...
    Okay, all giddy with excitement I boot up my touch for the first time. It tells me to connect it to itunes. I do that, hooking up the touch to the computer via usb. Vista detects it, installs the "apple mobile device" drivers just fine. Good, so then I open up itunes -- latest version -- and it's telling me to set up my ipod; name it, etc. Alright, I'm almost bursting at the seams here with excitement, but then itunes is notifying me that iOS4 is out. I upgrade, it takes a few minutes to do its stuff, it's done, and bam it's working. I play with the ipod a little bit, looking at the apps that already came with it. I disconnect, play with it, then reconnect to the computer again.
    So now, itunes for some reason is doing a "recovery" process -- i did not tell it to initiate this. So it's in the process of "recovering" (backing up, i guess?) and Vista is prompting me to install the driver "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery)" I tell it ok, locate and install them. It does that, I'm guessing, for it's now prompting me to insert a CD. Well, there is no CD so I tell it to find this driver on the internet. It says "cannot find drivers check manufacturer's support site blah blah blah." At this point, itunes tells me that it cannot complete the "recovery process" -- no error code or anything, and the dialog box closes.
    Now, my ipod goes into the connect to itunes screen. Itunes does not recognize it, for it does not even display my ipod at all. Vista does however, and each time i connect the ipod to the computer it attempts to install the "apple mobile device (recovery)" driver and fails each time. I don't know what's happening. I've lost all functionality in my ipod, can't even get into DFU. iTunes just refuses to recognize it. I've tried all of those fixes (reinstalling itunes, rebooting, trying that method where you go into device manager and update the apple mobile device (recovery) drivers....all of it doesn't work). I've spent hours websearching...
    And I'm at a loss. I'm ready to throw this thing somewhere. Can you guys suggest any help for me? Please...

  • Can I add more storage to my 4th generation 8gb Ipod touch?

    How can I increase the storage of my 4th generation 8gb ipod touch?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Unfortunately, you can't add more storage to an iPod touch after buying it. If you bought it less than 14 days ago, you can return it and buy a 32 GB iPod touch

  • Updating 4th Generation 8gb Ipod Touch to ios 6?

    Is it even possible?
    *facepalm*
    Stats:
    I currently have the recent 4.2.1 on it. That's as far as my itunes (11. version, the latest) is letting me take. It's not showing me any other possible route and I'm a little certain ios 6 should work on the 4th gen ipods.
    I really want ios 6
    Please help! Thanks v.v.much in advance.

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a fourth.

However, after about 5 seconds it stops and says "ITunes could not connect to the IPod software server".

    If yo mean the iPod will not connect to your wifi network:
    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Try:                  
    - 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.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My 4th Gen. Ipod Touch is smashed

    i have a 4 gen. ipod touch. i would really like to buy a new ipod, but would have to sell the old one first. but 4 months ago i dropped it. Screen is badly smashed. It still functions properly, but it is three months out of warranty. will apple replace my screen really cheap, or will i have to pay lots?? i know some people have got apple to replace theirs for free, does this mean they will replace mine for free too? has anyone else been in this situation before, and found a solution?? Please let me know!! thanks for your help

    Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    Some people have reported that an Apple Store technician has made an exception and replaced the iPod without charge, but for an out-of-warranty iPod the chances are vanishingly small, though you can go to an Apple Store and ask.
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair".
    Regards.

  • My 4th Gen. Ipod touch wont start up.....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!1

    My ipod touch just turned off one day and it seemed like the battery just died so I thought nothing of it. Later I plugged it in to be charged. Ever since no matter where I plug it in it shows the battery life, which is completely drained, and the plug in lightning bolt sign. Ive tried about 5 different cords plugged into lots of different outlets and computers. I logged into my itunes account and everything i've done hasn't fixed it. Any advice?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                              
    and:
    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 4th Gen, 8GB iPod Nano Battery life

    I got my iPod Nano a little over a month ago, and the battery life seems to be unusually short. My dad suggested it might be because I didn't let it charge fully and drain fully. I turned it on, plugged it in, and synced it. After it was done (it took, like, an hour) I took it out and started listening to it. I don't know when I plugged it in, but it did not die.
    Is that the problem, or is my model just defective? Is it the same with everyone else?

    I got my daughter an 8gb ipod for Chanukkah and it, too, has a problem with the battery in that the charge lasts only 5 hours or less. I bought one for myself as well (16gb) and it runs on a full charge (so far) for more than 29 hours. As a hardcore Microsoft fan, and a Zune owner, I have to say my first foray into the Apple world has been a massive disappointment. I love how support gives you no solid answer other than to tell you the gift you got someone may be faulty. (duh.) and that you'll have to wait up to three weeks for a replacement because you dared to personalize it with an engraving. Colour me disgusted.
