After restoring 60gb photo ipod showing only 16gb memory - help?

Ipod was working fine until one day a folder icon came up with the apple web address. It then suddenly reset itself and showed none of my music or photos (there was about 25gb on it).
I then tried updating the software - it was up to date.
I then restored it.
When I attempted to add my music back on the ipod it told me there was not enough room. When I checked, the ipod was showing that there was only 16gb of free memory. When I checked the properties of the ipod through my computer it shows used space 20.2gb and free space 16gb. This still doesn't add up to the 60gb it is supposed to be.
Can anyone help me?

Spooke to Apple - £189 to repair. It is a replacement of my original so the warranty is finished (even though it was replaced last May - within a year from when it died - you don't get a full year warranty on the replacement).
Once repaired would only be guaranteed for 90 days. Not worth it when I can get a new one for not much more.
Have bought a new one. If this lasts only a year or less it will be my last ipod! They are easy to use but not convinced by longevity!
Anyone got any suggestions for what to do with a broken ipod

  • HT201263 SIM code message after restoring but phone screen shows only Apple logo

    iTunes says its restoring my iPhone 3Gs then I get the message "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone is PIN locked. Please enter the PIN code of your SIM card and connect your iPhone to iTunes again". Problem is I can't-- the phone displays only the Apple logo again! Any ideas of what to do next? Not looking good! I have tried restarting computer and getting phone turned off and in recovery mode. Still same problem.

    My husband brought up a point- I'm not sure if I did a back-up on my phone after I updated to iOS 6. The backup in iTunes can be from an earlier iOS . Could this be an issue??

    Before I updated my iPod I had all of the songs to an album that I bought on iTunes. After I updated my iPod I only have 5 of those songs from the album. I would like to know how I can get the rest of the songs cause I already paid for the album and I went on my computer and it said that I have to pay for them even though I already paid for the whole album. So what do I do?

    Sync with the same computer iTunes that you normally sync with.

  • Ipod shows only 111 songs but itunes says has 16Gb on it

    Itunes says 16Gb on ipod but only 111 songs show up. Windows explorer also says ipod is half ful. Tried the change drive letter thing and get no luck help

    How are your tracks encoded? If they are in a lossless format such as Apple Lossless, AIFF, or even WAV, then the individual file size of each track is going to be very large.

  • 60GB Photo Ipod - Saying nearly full when empty!

My iPod used to work like a dream, then it started giving me problems recently. the other day, all of my music and photos were deleted, when i went to go and sync up, i had to reset my iPod, then it said the my iPod only had 16 GB's of free space. And that none of it was being used. I restored my iPod and that did nothing. I need help really bad. I don't know whats happening to my iPod, but its really frustrating. Help me out, Please

  • It pains me, just months after the 60gb photo...

    pfft!!!! after going through reading all these posts, it just pains me that APPLE can't come up with a 4g ipod photo upgrade... i'm quite sure its not just me going through with the dilemna, its just like upgrading regular fries to a biggie... how hard can that be, nevertheless im hoping that they will come up in a few months when everybody's got the new ipod video... hehe. thanks in advance...

    yeah, that's what ive heard. so i guess it just boils down to trying to make the most of what i have now, what ticks me off is that the darn ipod vid have a much wider screen & more aesthetic appeal, then again, people back here in the philippines sees the ipod as a status symbol... and its funny that since i got my ipod photo, i've only seen a few w/ it, its either my ego or its just that they were waiting for the ipod video... tsk tsk!!!

  • Photos not showing, only gray boxes

    so i opened up my iPhoto, and some of my pics aren't showing. they show when i click on them, but the like thumbnails aren't showing. only gray boxes. like the outline of the box is a dotted gray line.
    help?

    You can add a title to a pic in iPhoto - you do it - and everything else - in the iPhoto Window. However this does not rename the file. If you want to access the pics, the filename is irrelevant:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    If yiu want to export a copy of a pic, using the Title as Filename, then use the File -> Export command. It’s one of the options in that dialogue.
    Regards
    TD

  • After restoring my photos in PHOTOSHOP 5.0 to new computer, cursor spins and no photos appear

    I restored my photos to my new computer from an external HD. I updated to the 5.02. The problem I am having is that PS will not put these photos on screen in the Organizer. The cursor spins. I am using Windows 7, coming from XP. How  can I get my photos to appear in PS?

    I presume you are talking about Photoshop Elements 5, and not "PHOTOSHOP 5.0".

  • System Running Slow-Disk Utility Shows Only 4GB Free - Help!

    what are some of the common things that can be deleted that newbies don't realize take up space? I am encountering the beach ball when I try to do things like go between web pages or launch applications, etc. It appears that I am showing only 4.3 GBs available.
    Since I share this Mac with my whole family, (movies, music, etc,) I'm suspecting that we are holding things that need to be deleted or saved to CD/DVD. This really didn't start until I upgrade to Leopard and also am using Time Capsule.
    I appreciate any help for a novice!

    You can safely delete anything in your home account / caches folder
    /Users/account/Library/Caches
    Sort by size, and dump some of the larger ones, like MetaData, and also look for QuickTime cache folder and others.
    Backup to a FireWire drive or get one...
    http://www.macsales.com/firewire
    and repair your boot drive.
    You could store common media files on external drive, partition it so you have room for a full backup of your drive, and room for media files on 2nd partition.
    Take a look at where space is getting used:

    Pulling and upgrading your internal drive, and put it in a FW case, would probably make sense too.

  • My 32 GB Touchpad showing only a memory capacity of 16 GB

    I just noticed that my 32 GB touchpad is showing only a storage capacity of 16 GB. Has anybody experienced this?  Can anyone help me fix this problem?
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Ckingphotos,
    The TP has 1 GB RAM reserved for the system and the user memory avail. should be approx. 15 GB's with no additional apps or 3rd party software installed. Try a restart like the previous person did and check the avail memory.
    You could also try the automated test in device info., diagnostics, automated tab and then select automated test suite. This will test the memory and will give an error code if it fails. If you get an error code, or if it still shows the same avail. memory, call the tech support line and setup a repair.
