Can't transfer files to iPod

I've a large file of 4.03 GB, and I've got 11 GB left on my iPod. I try to copy the file over, and it says that the space is all used up. what gives? it's obviously not a read only device, I can transfer music and stuff like that.
help!
Thanks

I've a large file of 4.03 GB
If you're using your iPod with Windows, the FAT32 file system can only accommodate files that are smaller than 4GB no matter how much free space there is on your iPod

  • Can't transfer files to iPod Shuffle since latest iTunes update

    AFAIK, the only way to add a file such as a song or podcast to my ipod shuffle is to right-click the file and scroll down to 'Add to Playlist' and then there should be an icon for the ipod shuffle there among the playlists. But since the lates update, even though it is connected, the icon does not appear, and so I have no way to add specific tracks to my ipod shuffle.
    Anyone know what to do?

    I tried another way but it didn't work. I tried to autofill from a playlist, but I got a message saying that autofill didn't work because no files in the playlist can be transferred to the ipod.
    Now I'm going to try restoring it to the factory settings. This is really annoying.

  • Can't transfer files to wife's iPod

    Got a new computer. No problem managing files with my iPod using iTunes, but I can't transfer files from Library onto my wife's iPod anymore. When I connect her iPod, iTunes DOES seem to recognize the iPod--it displays her iPod and allows me to delete files from her iPod, but when I try to drag songs from Library onto her iPod, no dice (the circle with a line through it symbol is displayed over the iPod folder when I try to drop the file into it). Can anyone help?

  • Can u transfer files via airdrop from a iphone 5 to a mac and vice a versa

    hi,
    can u transfer files via air drop from an iphone 5 to a mac air, and mac air to a iphone 5.

    I would like a constructive response, rather than an ascerbic one.
    We have owned Iphones for a couple of years, and used photostream to copy photos to a PC...
    Within the family, we have 2 ipod touch, 2 x iphone, 2 x ipad minis and 2x Ipad Air.
    I have recently purchased a Mac desktop and would like to use this as a central backup and storage for all devices.
    I have been made aware that photostream / Icloud will only do its thing and back up to the Mac whenever the designated account is open on the Mac. (so I must remember to ensure the account for each family member is opened at lease once a month)
    SO, on one of the iphones, for example, we have over 900 photos in the photostream album. When connected to the Mac, only the last 30 days of photos are copied across (about 60 photos).
    How can I transfer across the other 850 photos ?
    I cannot copy them across to the camera roll on the iphone
    I cannot access them from iphoto
    the camera does not show itself as an " external drive" in Finder (Please note I am more acustomerd to using a PC).
    Itunes only allows "sync" and "backup" of the phone but is not at all helpful. (No indication of what is is/has backed up or synced)
    My Icloud is currently holding 12gb of my data, but the only info I KNOW is in the Icloud is my next dentist appointment.
    I really wish to transfer these photos across, as I would also like to upgrade the ios software, but this needs a few gb of memory space, and, of course, the
    These photos are visible within the iphone, but how do i get them transferred???
    like I said at the beginning, constructive answers please.

  • Can i transfer music from ipod to a new computer i do not have my old computer

    Can i transfer music from ipod to a new computer i do not have my old computer files as it crashed.

    For purchased songs you can plug the iPod into you new computer and use the "File > Transfer Purchases from iPod" feature in iTunes. For music not purchased from the iTunes store you will need a third party program to help. There are a few of them out there, and they are easy to find on Google.

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

  • How can we transfer games from ipod 4 to a different ipod 4

    how can we transfer games from ipod 4 to a different ipod 4??

    Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the second device with the iTunes library containing the content. If you want to transfer the game data as well, perform a backup and restore.

    How can I transfer files from my computer to my I Pad?

    Try a conduit such as Dropbox.
    Goodreader or Documents to Go also have helper apps that allow transfers.
    Goodreader is particularly good in that it has a integal file tree and you can mount your computers harddrive and navigate directly on your ipad.
    Use the open with to view/move files into other apps.

  • Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

    Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
    Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook. 
    Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this.  So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up.  Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
    I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
    Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
    Thank you.

    you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
    I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.
