Deleting songs but memory space stays the same??

Hi I've had my new Nano for about a week now. I've had a look at the apple iPod manual site and I've read through a lot of threads in this forum but I still can't seem to find an answer to my problem:
When I transfer music to my iPod Nano I have no problem but if I want to delete any songs from my Nano list through iTunes my memory capacity still stays the same.
Sorry I have a 2 gig Nano.
If I fill my ipod with songs and then if I get sick of some of them and want to delete a few here and there why does my memory capacity stay the same? I have used the update to take my Nano back to factory settings just so I can put new songs in my Nano, but its annoying that I have to keep doing that.
Am I doing it wrong? If you have any suggestions to help I would be happy.

G'day Colin. Thanks for your reply.
When I first got my Nano I filled it up to the max 2 gig. A few days later I deleted a few songs form my ipod but the disk space stayed the same. I then did a (Restoring iPod to factory settings) which wiped my Nano clean and back to a full 2 gigs. I
I have manual syncing as I have about 20 gig of songs in iTunes and only a 2gig Nano.
My question is: my Nano is maxed out with music to its full 2gig capacity if I were to delete say 20 songs from my Nano I should have some disk space available to add some different music but my nano's disk space doesn't change. If I delete all my music through I tunes the disk space in my Nano still says I have no space to add new songs.
At the moment if I want to delete and add some new music I have to reset my ipod back to factory settings just to add new music to my ipod. Surely the must be some way I can just plug in my Nano delete a few tunes and add new ones without having to (Restoring iPod to factory settings) all the time I want to add new music.
Thank you. Graham.

Itunes claims it's downloading, but my balance stays the same and the song never shows up under 'purchased' Help, please!

I have a balance of $29, and just yesterday redeemed a giftcard, so itunes appears to be working correctly, however whenever I attempt to purchase a song it still has me enter my apple ID and password, and the 'mini-player' states that it is 'purchasing' for about half a second, yet it has not purchased.....the song does not appear in my library, and my balance stays the same. I have just had my harddrive updated, so there should be no problems there, and everything else on itunes seems to be running normally. Any idea what could be going on? There are no error messages at all, it's just not purchasing anyhthing. VERY fustrating!

Thanks for the info as well, also not looking for that answer...
Friend has purchased several books on her iPhone and now has been lost when iOS was upgraded, this was done as phone was not functioning correctly (apps failing)...
After successfully upgraded software, all audio books where removed.... Unable to go back to a early backup, as only appears to be backups valid from after upgarde of iOS...
So now we are in situation of trying to get apple to allow us to reload them, which after paying for them (assume £100's worth)... Do you think friend will be very happy to find she has to fork another £100 to repurchase goods, because a BUG in your upgrade software?
Yes you may say, its her fault for not backing up! But I find it a little suprising you show little support for these people, most people know very little of computers and buy Mac products because we believe that they just work!!!
I like other customer will seriously think very hard before my next Apple purchase, which has upto know included.. 2 Mac Book Pros, 2 iPods , 2 IPhones, 1 Apple TV, 1 iPad.. (Currently have Mac Book Pro, iPad, and iPhone)...
We are sold onto this idea that iCloud on the adds on TV, yet no where do I see in these adverts that doesn't work with Audiobooks? What else does it not work for? If I buy something on iTunes I EXPECT it to be backed up on your servers on iCloud, thats WHY I buy your kit as it is MEANT to work, not oh sorry its your fault go lump it! We pay a premium to use iTunes, we all might as well buy off Amazon and get it shipped to the door cheaper then iTunes?

I recently purchased 3 CD's, some of the songs are cut off in the middle of the song. Itunes sent me a link several times to redownload the songs, but each time either the same songs or different songs would be cut short each time I redownloaded the CD's

I recently purchased 3 CD's, some of the songs are cut off in the middle of the songs. Several times ITunes sent me a link to redownload the CD's or certain songs and each time either the same songs or different songs on the CD's would be cut short. What could be causing this?

shameless bump

For some reason, the last few apps I have tried to install, show just a faded app, with " waiting" underneath. I have pressed update but they have stayed the same for two weeks,

Why won,t my apps download? They just say " waiting" below them. I have updated but they seem stuck for two weeks now

Maybe .... One of these suggestions will work for you.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

How do I Delete songs from Itunes & Computer at the same time?

I would like to have a song deleted from my computer (sent to recycling bin) everytime I delete the song from ITUNES. How can I do this? When I used MediaMonkey it automaticly did it for me. Thanks for your help.

If you are using iTunes to manage your music and the songs are in the iTunes Music folder then iTunes will give you the option when deleting to remove the songs from the library and send them to the Trash. However if you are keeping the songs in another folder iTunes will only delete them from the library, if you want to completely remove them you have to go to the folder yourself.

IPhone 3GS - volume controls working but actual volume stays the same

Hi
My iPhone 3GS has been exhibiting a strange phenomenon for the last couple of days. The volume in my heaphones is fixed. I can use the volume control buttons or the on screen slider just fine, they're responsive in terms of animation (the buttons show the increasing/decreasing number of white squares and the slider allows me to move the dot and the blue line extends accordingly), but the actual volume only changes when I'm using the speaker, but not when I'm using the headphones. The only actual volume control I have using the headphones is sliding the volume down to zero, which also produces a loud click in the headphones.
The issue is system-wide and as such affects all apps, including Spotify, iPod, VLC, various games and other music/video apps.
The headphones in question are brand new and work fine with other equipment. I've also tried with other headphones, with no change.
Any help would be appreciated. And yes, I've restarted the phone. I've contemplated reset/restore, but I wanted to check if anyone knows of a less time-consuming solution.
Thanks

No, that's not it.
The volume is not locked using the Volume limit, and even if it were, that wouldn't explain why it's fixed at one (rather loud) level. The volume limit function is just there to limit the upper bounds, not set it to a constant level.
Thanks for your reply, though!

Local lines upgraded but my speed stays the same

Hello, i'm currently on the Broadband option 3 (20meg unlimited), and when we took it out we were told that our lines would only support around 8mb but there was scheduled work in the pipeline that would give us a speed increase.
Now this work has completed and the website quotes a possible speed of 17mbps on our line, but my home hub still shows us as 8mb.
Can anyone explain the process to getting this changed? I've been happy with the service (especially as they were up front about the realistic speeds I would get) so that's not an issue, but if i'm paying for 20mb and It's in the ground...then that's what I want to see on my connection!

Hello,
Good news. We’ve upgraded our network in your area
Remember we let you know we were rolling out our faster broadband? We’ve now done it in your area. We always offer the fastest speed your line can take and now your broadband speed and connection should be faster and more stable than before.
You can find out more at www.bt.com/networkupgrade
We’re sorry if you lost your broadband and phone connections for a few minutes during the upgrade, but they should be working again now.
If you received that email then you don't normally have to agree another contract to get the upgrade - only if you want the upgrade in advance of it being made available to all on the exchange.
Depending on your distance from the exchange you could be upgraded to 21cn but not get any increase in speed. Check the modulation in your router and if 992.1 you have not been upgraded. 21Cn is 992.3 or 992.5

Hi all! im using the OS XV10.6 not 4 sorry. Anywayz, i tried to delete all data that i dont need to have more free space.

Could we be confusing Memory (RAM), with Hard Drive Free Space (Virtual Memory)?

I dont understand why my ipod says it has 8gb but holds 6.36gb capacity and it always says over capacity by 35.4mb and i deleted lots of my apps but it keeps doing the same thing soo annoying .

I had a similar problem and after deleting endlessly...and weeks of frustration I (without even realizing what I was on to) deleted my text messages. I had been letting them add up since it seemed easier to text someone if it were readily available. Needless to say, I ended up with nearly double the space/memory available.

I have plenty of space on my hard drive (500GB), but when I plug in my iPhone there is a window stating the pone cannot be backed up because of lack of disk space. The same occurs with attempting to import CD's into iTunes.

Is there some sort of limit set up from the original hard drive causing this problem?

Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
If Disk First aid is unable to complete the repair you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer.

Hi, I have a 7th Gen Ipod Nano and I am unable to delete songs. When synced on the PC I can select tracks but right clicking on them does not give the ability to delete. I have downloaded the latest 1.0.3 software but it did not help.

Hi, I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks

Hello Lor100,
In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.
