GBs don't match up! PLEASE HELP!

I've been slowly filling up my 6 GB iPod mini since my purchase last May. Currently, my iTunes Library shows "994 songs, 3.61 GB". But when I tried to add the latest batch of 16 songs, it showed my capacity was 5.67 GB and could not update any more. Now, there's NO WAY my iPod is full already, and even when I look at the "About" setting on the actual iPod it says "5.6 GB capacity, 2.0 GB available".
However, I did notice that the GBs started not matching up after I was prompted to update the software weeks ago (which I'm almost sure I did). But the differences were very small then. It's only recently that the gap spiked up to 2 GBs, thus making my iPod supposedly "full".
So, which capacity is right? Should I update the software again? And if it IS full somehow, what's taking up 2 whole GBs of space? Anyone else have this problem? I'd appreciate ANY help and thanks in advance.

Erm… it sounds kind of like your file structure is messing up, the only solution I know for this is to back-up any data possible and do a thourough reformat with disk utility.
It sounds like you're using a PC (only capable of handling PC formatted disks, without extreme software mods), if you were using a mac, the problemb would still occur (provided you have a PC formatted iPod) but it would indicate tat the space was still free but whenever you try to copy data, it would report that the disk is full. In that case, I don't know which program to use to do an actual drive reformat (not just a disk reformat), you would then have to reinstall the iPod software.

  • InDesign 6 opens but tools/panels don't load.  Please help.

    I have just upgraded to a new MacPro.  Had Creative Suite 6 all working fine on my old system, but on the new system InDesign will not open properly. I get multiple messages on opening about tools it cannot load because it requires different panels -- spelling, transform, and swatches. The message says please install "such and such" plug in and restart. These plug ins appear in the folder already.  I have replaced preferences, uninstalled and re-installed twice, and still having the issue.  I have to go back to using my old computer in order to get any work done since this one won't open 5.5 at all.  Please help.

    I resolved the problem and InDesign is working again, as well as the rest of the Creative Suite.  However I did not do the third install.  Because I was also having some issues with a few folders that did not have the right permissions, I decided to go with the other user account where InDesign worked and there were no permissions issues on the drive. I did not use the migration tool this time -- I just moved the files I needed from one user to the other or reset system preferences. It is so easy to switch between users now that I'm not too worried about any little things that I may have missed -- I will just keep the old user for a little while until I'm convinced everything I need is there. The old migrated user account had a lot of "junk" in it, so this should work out better anyway, and I learned a lot about using Mavericks in the process.  Now back to work!
    Thank you for your kind responses.  I'm glad to know that this community is here.

  • 11.2 iTunes update has made me unable to open iTunes. It says "The procedure entry point ADiAdID_AquireMatchSlotIfNecessary could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll" I have done everything imaginable! Please help?!

    I deleted, reinstalled, searched, enabled, disabled--EVERYTHING and yet iTunes will not open! This is exactly why I hate updates rom Apple because they do this time and time again. I deleted multiple .dll files and nothing has worked. This is a glitch from the newest update 11.2. It says: "The procedure entry point ADiAdID_AquireMatchSlotIfNecessary could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll" and I have no idea what the heck that means!
    If there is anybody that is having similar issues and know of what the issue might be, please help =[
    Thanks.

    Hi, Did you strip out all components, delete the named folders and reboot as in the second box of  Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates?
    Checking on my computer here (Windows XP SP3 32 bit) I have one copy of iAdCore.dll in the main \Program Files\iTunes folder with the following properties:
    Size 3,004  KB
    Created 8th May 2014
    Modified 8th May 2014
    File Version 1.0.0.1
    Product Version 1.0.0.1
    I'll try to get a look at 64-bit system later to confirm the correct path.
