8GB IPod Touch Will Only Hold 1,000 songs

I have an 8GB IPod Touch and it will hold only around 1,000 songs. I have nothing else on it. Some of the music was downloaded from ITunes, and some downloaded from CDs. According to Apple specs, the 8GB iPod can hold up to 2,000 songs, up to 7,000 photos, up to 8 hours of video, or some of each.
Any thoughts?

if they are in 128 kbps AAC format !
if you use higher bitrated tunes, they will be bigger in size and use more space.
enable the +convert higher bit rate songs to AAC 128+ setting in the summary tab of the device when it is connected to iTunes.

  • My ipod touch will only play the same song over and over unless you manually fast forward?

    My ipod touch will not shuffle through the songs. It just plays the same song over and over.  All that shows at the top is the info picture.  How do I fix this?

    Do this:
    Play a song.
    Tap the screen once so you see the scrubber.
    To the left of the scrubber, there's a set of two arrows going in a circle - if it's blue, it's set to repeat.
    Click on it once to make it white - no repeat.

  • My 2nd gen ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected.  How do I get to synch all the music I have selected from i-mac with itunes 11

    My ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected.  It only wants to sync the newest music and will not sync previous music even though some of these songs were previously on the ipod touch.   I am connecting to a imac with itunes 11.

    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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio.  When I take it out, it goes blank.  Why can I do?

    My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio.  When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank.  The battery shows fully charged.  It appears that the battery is no longer charging.  What should I do?

    Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

  • All of a sudden, my ipod touch will only recognize/play purchased items. I then have to completely reset the ipod and re-sync. I've had to do this 6 times, and support has been no help.

    So you also rebooted your router correct?  Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

  • TS2771 My iPod touch will only charge through computer, new wall charger will not charge it, but charges other iPods

    My sons iPod touch will only charge with computer. This has happened since update. Wall charger charges other iPods/iPhone. Restored to original defaults. And still does not work.

    I believe it started with the update prior to 5.1.1.  I just udated it to the 5.1.1, thinking it would resolve the problem.

  • I just found out my iPod touch will only sync to one library, what is the difference in technology of the iPod touch and iPod that makes this so?

    I just found out in iTunes help that my iPod touch will only sync to one library unlike iPod.  What is the difference in technology between the iPod touch and the iPod that makes this so?
    Thanks

    You can manage music and videos among different computers/libraries by following these instructions. You can only sync apps and photos from one library.

    If only the battery is bad, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $79. They do not fix yours.

  • My iPod touch is only holding about 20 apps and 16 songs and 3 movies and it says that it's space is full.  I thought I had at least 6gb of memory.  Is there something wrong with my iPod?

    Just curious if anyone could help.  I bought my daughter an iPod for Christmas and it's only holding about 20 apps, 16 songs and 3 movies.  I deleted all of my pictures, so no pictures.  And it continues to say that I need to delete some items, b/c there basically isn't enough free space.  I thought the iPod touch, held alot more than that and that is the reason why I bought it.  Could anyone explain if this is normal or if this has happened to them.  Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
    Barbara

    You are not giving us enough information.  A singe move can easiy take more than one GB.  Ehne you click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes on the computer a colored bargraph will show the discribution of storage used on the iPod.  What does that show?  If the "other" category is greater than about 1 GB you can restore yu iPod, sometimes to factory defaults/new iPod is required, to get it to its normal of about 1/2 GB.

  • Ipod touch will only charge in docking station after 3.0 upgrade

    Prior to my recent (this week) upgrade to 3.0, my ipod touch could charge off of my desktop computer, my laptop, and my Apple USB wall charger adapter. That adapter is not the current version, but the prior model. Since I've done the upgrade, the ipod touch no longer recognizes it's attached to the adapter (and the wall outlet) or to the USB cable and computer. I am using the Apple supplied USB cable, so it is not a matter of using non apple equipment or Firewire. This week, it will only charge using a lamp that has a docking station. I've had the ipod touch about 4 months, and didn't have this issue until the 3.0 upgrade. Does anyone else have this problem and any ideas on how to fix it?

    If the iPhone has no problem with the same cable then
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - 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.

  • My ipod touch will only charge on my computer. What should I do?

    I have an iPod touch 3rd generation 32GB with iOS 4.3.3 that will charge and sync on my computer. But if it is plugged into a wall, car, or dock charger it will not charge. I believe it is a software problem because it works on the computer. I have already tried: going into settings>General>Reset> Reset all settings, I did a full restore through iTunes, I have tried out many different chargers, I updated to the latest iOS and still I have had no luck. I'm pretty smart about technological things but I just can't figure this thing out.
    Thanks so much for any help!
