Error in ipod capacity bar graph in iTunes

I've had this problem for a while, but I could never really figure out what terms to search for to find an answer, so I decided to just ignore it.
In iTunes, when my iPod is plugged in, I can select it from the menu pane on the left (thats normal.) But in the capacity graph, where it usually shows a break up of video, music, picture and free space, it shows that songs are taking up around 628,742,88.77 GB, and therefore it fills the bar.
Nothing I can't live with, but I figured if there were a solution out there, it wouldn't hurt

Problem has been around for many versions of iTunes, did not coincide with update.

Sounds like it has a drive collision with another device, would you happen to have an external drive or are you on a network, or do you have a printer with memory slots?

  • Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps.

    Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps. The Apple Mobile Device driver is loaded and operating. The anti-virus software and firewall are not at fault (were uninstalled, and made no difference). The iTunes on my older machine running Vista does recognize the inoperative iPod (iTunes has detetced an iPod in recovery mode) and allows me to restore the device. Can anyone help to resolve this problem on the Windows 7 PC?

    So yu tried all of this:
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    If you had then time for an appointment at ther Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Unknown error (-208) iPod won't update in iTunes, HELP!

    Yeah, that error comes up when ever I try to update my iPod. It only started hapening today and I need to update because I'm going somewhere boaring and I need my new videos/music!
    Can some one please tell me why this is happening and how to fix it!?
    I still have plenty of room and I am running new versions of Mac OS X, iTunes and my iPod is up to date.

    The error code could mean that you 'iTunes Library' file is corrupted.
    I haven't heard about this error code in conjunction with the iPod, only know this article:
    iTunes: "Error -208 Cannot Open iTunes Music Library" Alert
    Try the 5 R's first.
    If that leads to nothing, you may have to rebuild your library as mentioned in this article:
    How to recreate your iTunes Library
    Hope this helps.

  • I received an error message ipod is disable,connect to itune how can fix this problem  ipod would unlock

    I received an error message ipod is disable,please connect to itune, how can fix this problem, ipod would unlock.

    As the mmessae says, connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or you do not have the syncing comuter, place the iPod in recovery mod and then restore.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    For more info see:

  • Popularity Rating using Bar Graphs on Itunes?   What does it mean?

    When I log onto Itunes, and I look at a particular band, like the band, "Without A Face,"
    I see the "popularity rating," beside each individual song.
    What does the popularity rating bar graph indicate? Does it represent the number of sales, of each individual song? Or, does it just represent the number of people, who are listening to each individual song?

    How did you find out that popularity rating relates to the sale of each individual song?
    It can't be related to anything else since iTunes can only track sales, not what people are listening to.
    Does one black slash next to the song represent that the song has sold 10, 100, or 1000 times?
    I doubt it's any of those. More likely it's relative to whatever else is displayed.
    If a song sold 5,000, it could have 5 bars compared with other songs but it could also have no bars if it is compared to other songs that have sold 500,000.
    Again, Apple has not published any info on exactly what the rating means or how it is derived..

  • Error Message= iPod won't Sync with iTunes

    I have an 3rd generation iPod and lately I have been getting an error message that says "The iPod DN5 cannot be synced. An unknown error has occurred (-48)".
    If anybody has ever encountered this problem, please post an answer as I don't have the money amount to buy a new one.

    Hey there,
    Have you tried putting the iPod into Disk Mode? You may have to restore your iPod, but it might be able to fix the problem. Once your iPod is plugged in, just hit restore that comes up the main page. Hope this helps.

  • What is "other" in the iPod capacity bar on the summary page?

    I'd like to know what the other is for on my iTouch summary page? It is currently showing as 291 mb. All I have loaded is some video and music, there are no apps installed?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Other can be Album Artwork, Notes, Contacts, Firmware (the operating system software) etc. or (and this doesn't apply to the iPod Touch or iPhone which don't have the option to enabled for disk use), files that are on there if you are using the iPod as a removable storage device. If you feel that Other is being incorrectly reported then try restoring your iPod.

    You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.

  • My itunes capacity bar is nearly full but ipod empty

    I have just updated to Itunes 8 and then when i plugged my ipod touch in to update it the capacity bar in itunes has turned all orange and has also wiped all the songs from my touch. A message then appears saying there is not enough space to sync (even though ipod is empty).
    Have tried to sync manually to no avail and have also reset the ipod.
    Any ideas how i can fix this problem?

  • I downloaded songs on itunes, when I go to sync it to my ipod it "says" its syncing and then it shows up on the capacity bar but there are no songs on my ipod

    I downloaded songs on itunes, when I go to sync it to my ipod it "says" its syncing and then it shows up on the capacity bar but there are no songs on my ipod

    In itune did you play any of the songs downloaded. If so plug your ipod back in an manualy check off to sync all music. If that doesn't work you might have to restore the ipod.

    Not knowing what everything is:
    Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hello rickfrommahomet,
    Based on your post it seems you would like to know how to manage the storage of your device. I have linked to an article you may find helpful:

  • I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison"

    Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd
