Can not update iPod Nano, brand new and error says there is not enough room

I just purchased my son a 1 gig nano. After registering and setting up options for updates. I got a message saying that it could not update because there wasn't enough room. I was trying to download less than 100 songs and all of them have been downloaded from iTunes. I have already completed the "5R's" as suggested in the troubleshooting section and it still will not update. iTunes recognizes his iPod, all software has been updated, I've reset and restarted. Very frustrated and my 11 year old is very devestated. Could someone please help?
Thank you

There's not an actual limit number to the ammount of songs that any iPod can hold. It's all size dependant. You might have simply downloaded a lot of large songs. When you're in iTunes check at the bottom of the screen to see how many megs or gig they actually take up. And keep in mind a 1 gig iPod isn't actually 1 gig. There is always a bit of space used up by system files and whatnot.

1 iPod Touch, 1 iPod Nano (Brand New) & 2 iPod Classics Not Reconized

Hi,
I have 1 iPod Touch, 2 iPod Classic & 1 iPod Nano (brand new one)
Since the iTunes V9 update none of them will show up in Windows or iTunes.
I have tryed the 5 R's, wiping everything off the computer and reinstalling it, reinstalling iTunes and more!
Still nothing
Have any of you had the same problem and managed to solve it ??
Thanks in advance

Sorry, I followed both guides and uninstalled everything - rebooted, reinstalled iTunes like your second link instructions said.
PC sees all devices fine in Windows Explorer (and makes the pling sound when I connect them, they just do not show up in iTunes.
(ipod nano, ipod touch 32GB, iphone 1st gen, ipad 1st gen)
Manually starting or restarting all itunes/ipod related services doesn't do a thing either, nothing will sync.
I'm at a loss.

My ipod is brand-new and I mistakenly pressed the "restore" option! How can I put everything back to normal now?

And after that, could you explain to me how can I put songs in it?

Re-sync your apps and content from iTunes on your computer or redownload it from the iTunes Store, then restore from your backup:

That should put back most if not all of your settings and data. As to putting songs on, either purchase them from the iTunes Store or, again, sync them from iTunes:

I have tried to update my Facebook app and it says there's not enough available storage to download it - what can I do?

I have tried to update my Facebook app and it says there's not enough available storage to download it - I have deleted lots of apps to try and make more space but still not enough what can I do?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Hi all,
I have the same problem with my Windows 8.1 laptop and my guess is that since I changed my Internet Provider who now delivers IPv6 addresses the problem occurs. A frieend who has a different provider does not have the problem in his home, but when he tries using iTunes at my home with my network he gets the same problem.
I have already solved a previous problem with Outlook 2003 not being able to receive emails from my wifes GMail account although everything else worked fine. The solution here was to enter the IPv4 address of Google POP-Server in the hosts file, overriding the IPv6 address.
Maybe something similar helps with this iTunes error.
If someone knows the hostname of the iTunes Store server, it could be pinged and the IPv4 address could be determined and then entered in the HOSTS file.
I'll continue trying in this direction and will post a solution if I find one.
If someone has the iTunes server name or IPv4 address, please post it.

There is nothing wrong with Apple's activation servers. They are up & running just fine.
We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation

I am trying to update my apps on my 4s but says there is not enough space. It shows i have 19.3 GB of 25 GB. Also, in my itunes...it shows about a quarter of space on the bar is photos but I took all the photos out. Don't make sense.

It's telling you there's not enough space *on your 4S*. The 25GB you refer to is probably that on iCloud, that's different memory than that on your iPhone. You need to delete video, pictures, apps, or whatever ON THE IPHONE, to make enough room for downloading updates to your apps.

I'm trying to buy some music and iTunes says there is not enough memory available?

I found the answer for real. I called apple and talked to some dude. All you have to do is clear your payment information, save it and then re-enter it. thats the bug, thats it.
go to the store drop down menu on the itunes toolbar... click view my account... click edit payment information... select 'none' for your credit card...click done... then try and buy your music... if you have a gift card or whatever. if you are just using your credit card or debit card, re-enter your payment information.
it worked for me i hope it works for you.

I can't update ipod touch to new 4.2

I can'tupdate my ipod touch to new 4,2

Which model of iPod Touch do you have? The 1st generation can not be upgraded beyond iOS 3.1.3.

HT1386 I synced my iPhone and computer said there wasn't enough room for a playlist.

I was trying to sink several playlists, and the iPhone Settings, Usage, shows 2.0GB available on phone. Meanwhile, the bar at the bottom of the Music Sync page saying there is not enough space to sync this playlist, shows used space including 2.8GB of "Other", but there is nothing on my phone that could be this "Other." I don't understand why the sync page and the iPhone Usage do not match up, especially with such a large discrepancy. Any ideas?

How exactly was the music transferred to the new computer?
The correct way is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. If it was transferred properly there are no issues with syncing to the iOS device.

My iPod touch 4th gen iOS5.1.1 can't be recognised by my computer and I have tried different cables and usb ports but nothing has worked. The iPod is brand new and was only opened today. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have just today recieved a brand new iPod Touch 4th generation iPod with the latest update. Everything else on the ipod is working and my computer is able to read the camera fine, but iTunes cannot recognise it - even after restarting and trying different USB ports and cables. There is nothing at all coming up on the device list and iTunes is working as it would if I had no iPod plugged in. This is my first iPod on this computer and I have already tried redownloading iTunes. My computer is a windows XP computer. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this problem?

Since this is an XP machine, which version of iTunes do you have installed? Is it the latest version?
Have you tried starting iTunes, attach the USB end of the cable, then while holding the home button on the iPod connect the 30-pin connector end of the cable to the iPod...that is the recovery mode but also should make iTunes see the iPod.
If that doesn't work you may need to take the iPod back and have it tested by the genius bar techs to make sure the connector is not bad.

Can't update ipod nano: errors 1417 and 1428

I bought my 4gb iPOD nano a month or so ago and initially it worked perfectly. For the last week when I plug it in to my PC iTunes detects it and lists what's on it but won't update it or write to it in any way: it variously gives me error numbers 1417 and 1428. Bizzarely I can copy files onto it absolutely fine through Windows. I can't even restore it to factory settings since I can't write anything to it! Help!
Thanks very much
Ian

some people have been having some success with the 1417 using eboncairn's technique:
