Can not add songs to ipod--says not space when there should be

I have deleted many, many songs from my ipod but when I try to add just one song, I get the message that there is not enough space for the file. Also, the space available is not going down when I delete songs. Help!! Do I need to delete everything and start over?? Many thanks for any help.

Are you deleting actual songs and not just deleting playlists?
Deleting playlists (which are links to the songs) will not free up space on an iPod.

Can't add songs to iPod Touch after updating to v2.0

I just updated my iPod Touch to v2.0 and now I cannot load any songs onto it. When I drag songs or playlists over the Touch in the iTunes Devices list they just bounce off. Everything else seems to be acting properly. Contacts, Photos, etc. sync/update just fine.
I had this problem before after updating to Leopard. I can't find the thread I used then. It walked you through a process of deleting some file in the User>>Library folder before reinstalling iTunes. Unfortunately I don't remember which file(s) need to be tossed.
Anybody know the sequence or have a link to the earlier thread?
Thanks...
John

An update...
Having nothing left to lose, I trashed iTunes and reinstalled it. Now I can at least sync Playlists. I'm not sure why I can't drag songs onto the iPod touch.
Still waiting for help on that one...

Can't add songs to iPod mini - Please help

I am running iTunes 6 on Windows XP and my iPod mini is updated with the latest software. I connect it to my computer and it appears in iTunes without any problems. I add songs to it from my library and they appear to transfer without any problems. But when I do, a yellow triangle with an exclamation point appears in my system tray. It is an itunes.exe - Corrupt File message. When I unplug my iPod, the songs that I added no longer appear in my song list.
I have 2 iPods that I use on this computer and the other one works perfectly. So my question is 2-fold. 1, how do I fix this? And 2, why did it happen so that I can prevent it in the future?

hi Amy!
here's a good place to start with that error message:
iPod: What to do if Windows displays an "itunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
but if more advanced treatments are required, Da Gopha's excellent compendium may be useful:

(Da Gopha's compendium might go some way towards answering your second question, but it's a fairly involved issue.)

Can't add songs to ipod touch...Please help?

Okay. I downloaded some new songs to my computer. I added them to my ipod without any problems. Then I went to add them to my sister's ipod. The first 5 songs went on just fine, but when I tried to add the next few songs, I said something along the lines of "Unable to sync, unknow error" and then a 4 or 5 digit number. It only said it once and the message doesn't pop up again when I try again so I have no idea what the numbers were.
Now whenever I drag songs to the ipod, the ipod is highlighted and the box with the plus sign shows, as if it is going to work. But when I release the song, nothing happens. It doesn't sync the song, there's no error message, nothing.
I'm really reluctant to do a restore or anything similar because our music is spread out over about three different computers, and several months ago I had a virus on my computer so some of my music isn't on ANY computer.
I've already tried restarting both the ipod and the computer, and I tried plugging the ipod in

- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Also reboot the computer.
- Then try again and remember the complete error message
Could this have been the error number:
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync

I have an iPad mini with 16gb and it says I only used 13.4gb but when I try to download a game or something it says not enough available space when there should be at least 2 go left

What do I do to get back my space?

THe game likely needs space to 'unzip' so to speak and expand. Not to mention that on a 16 gig iPad, you only have 13 and change left after you take the operating system into account. (Settings, general, usage will tell you how much room you have left)
You can always delete some content to make room. Or if you ever synced it to a computer, download your game via the computer then sync it onto you device, you don't need as much free room that way.

Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

Monty's solution will work if you have left the songs in one of your playlists. Another idea if that doesn't work is to check your iTunes list for that iPod. Check at the very bottom beneath the albums, artist,s and other content to add to your iPod, and be sure that you don't have individual songs selected to be added as well. If you do, eliminate them from that bottom list, and you should be fine.

Can't add music my iPhone from iTunes. When I try to drag a song over to my phone, I get the circle w/ the syncing line through it, but it does not update/load. [Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to

Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

Hi Gregg,
Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.
Cheers,

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing existing songs

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing her existing song list.

For future reference, since I came here for the same reason, I'd like to add to the solution. The link was not complete in explaining how to, but then again I'll just trying to attempt to fill in the gap.
After opening iTunes, on the upper left hand side is a small icon with an arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow and a menu pops out. Click on "Show Menu Bar." On the new bar(Older iTunes File, Edit, View, Controls, etc. bar at the top). Click on View and then Show Side Bar. There you can just click and drag new songs into your iDevice without any problems... hopefully...
Seriously, this helped me, so if Apple finds a way to not allow me to do this simple task of adding purchased songs into my idevices from another computer, I'll have to resort to other means.
The one idevice that's having trouble with is my iShuffle(2nd).

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

How can I add a second Ipod to my account?

I just bought my daughter a second hand Ipod touch and I can update the version nor can I download things on it. How can I add a second Ipod to my existing account?

Plug it in and upload your music.
You don't need to have two separate accounts for iTunes on one computer, me and my 3 roomates all share the same computer and iTunes library. Separating them only causes headaches.
If you really want to though, if your on a windows computer you can create another user for the computer by going to my computer and add a user, then once in the new user download iTunes and upload music. One thing to remember with this however the iPod and iTunes does not support fast user switching (meaning when switching users in windows instead of logging out, just going to switch profile.)
Hope this helps,
Ms D.
