Help. My 120GB Ipod only stores 113GB and my music collection is 118GB.

This is frustrating.
My music collection is 118GB but will not all for on my 120GB iPOD! he iPod only stores 113GB. Where is the other 7GB, album covers?
I find it impossible to cull some music! When I try I find myself wanting an album that has been culled!
Are there any ways to get my music collection onto my iPOD?

A 120Gb (decimal) iPod comes in at about 113Gb (binary) when your computer reports the space on it. Hard drive manufacturers nearly always use the SI meaning of Giga, 10 to the power of 9, whereas computer software tends to use 1024 (2 to the power of 10) for Kb, 1024 x 1024 for Mb etc. The larger the drive the more obvious the discrepancy between the two representations of the same munber.
113Gb (binary) = 113 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 121,332,826,112 ≈ 120Gb (decimal)
Your collection will grow... Sooner or later it will be bigger than your device & you will have have to decide what to leave out. In the meantime you might find the *Convert higher bitrate songs to 128k AAC* feature helps out a bit.

Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
TIA
Brandy

Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
Thanks again!

The history only stores today and yesterday

I have a problem with history, It only stores today and yesterday in the history.
In preferences I have "remember history".

Since you have deleted places.sqlite completely and Firefox is creating a new one, it's hard to imagine repeated database corruption.
To rule out a potential problem in Firefox's program folders, I suggest the following:
(1) If needed, download a fresh installer for Firefox 30 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
(2) Exit out of Firefox.
(3) Rename the folder
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
(4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
The new installation of Firefox should discover your existing profile. Does it read places.sqlite correctly?
Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
* C:\Program Files\OldFirefox\Plugins
* C:\Program Files\OldFirefox\browser\plugins

HELP! My ipod is frozen on and won't charge!

Hello!
My ipod is completely frozen and won't charge. It is stuck on a picture of a folder with an exclamation point(!). I reset it several times and it just goes back to this picture. I have tried to charge it but it seems to not connect to my computer because the battery does not come up and my ipod icon does not appear in my itunes. I tried to charge it on another computer and it would not charge on that one either. I updated my itunes but still nothing. Restoring seems kind of extreme (losing ALL of my songs!!) so I was hoping I could fix this problem without having to do that! Can anyone help me or has this happened to anyone else? Suggestions are welcome! Please Help! =)

Do you have a windows or a mac computer?

How does iPod Mini store songs and playlists?

Hi,
I am a new user of iPod Mini.
I have some music in my music library in iTunes and I have created a few playlists. Some songs are in multiple playlists. When I copy over these playlists, will these music files get copied over twice or only once?
I am worried that this will eat up space on my iPod and hence I am wondering whether to remove all dups in my playlists.
Can anyone please advise? I would expect that iPod dumps all song files at one place and the playlist is just a pointer to these various files. Can someone confirm if this is true?
Thanks,
SS

Welcome to the Apple Discussions, Suryanarayana!
Can someone confirm if this is true?
Confirmed.
Have a look at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/4.9/en/513.html
Although the article is about playlists in iTunes, it's applicable when they're transferred to the iPod.

My ipod only contains newstand and no other app how do i fix this?

It only has newstand and nothing else.

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Trying to sync ipod with new computer and add music frrom my ipod to

my new desktop.
I apologize in advance if this question gets asked all the time. I am trying to move all the music on my ipod to my new desktop. I am currently using my ipod as a HD on my new computer. I would like to be able to add the new songs i've downloaded on my new computer to my ipod, but i'm not sure if i can do that without losing all of my old songs.
Can someone help me out?
Again, my apologies. I'm sure this gets asked all the time.

"I would like to be able to add the new songs i've downloaded on my new computer to my ipod, but i'm not sure if i can do that without losing all of my old songs"
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and a different iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it.
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

Need help managing two iphones, two iTunes accounts, and one music library

We have digitized all our music and it's successfully set up on an external hard drive. This is all great for me, as my iphone is synced to my iTunes account, so everything is set.
Problem is my husband set up his own iTunes account with his iphone and now he wants to access the music on our home computer/iTunes account.
So what we have is:
USER A =
computer + digital hard drive w/music (managed by iTunes account A)
iTunes account A
iphone A (synced with iTunes account A)
USER B =
iTunes account B
iphone B (synced with iTunes account B)
iTunes account B = very few music files + lots of Aps
What we want is for USER B to be able to access the computer + digital hard drive w/music (managed by iTunes account A), but retain his Aps that he's purchased for his iphone.
I hope this is clear. Can someone tell us the best way to accomplish getting USER B access to our home music collection?
Thanks!

My problem is similar, except for 3 different devices: IPod Nano, Old style Shuffle, and Iphone 3Gs.
To answer one post as to "why" different accounts... 1 pre-teen user; wife/husband have (maybe) a 10 song overlap in the library, and I have tons of apps.
Ok, all I want to do is play the same stuff on my home computer as on my work computer. There are 3 I-tunes accounts on my home computer (mine is one). My apps/movies and music don't show up on this computer, even though it has been authorized. I have synced the phone, but no changes, even after adjusting the prefs. Oh, and this is a side note, my Outlook calendars are not playing well together either. My home Outlook is "stand alone" while my work calendar is accessed by others all the time and both appts and email are "pushed" to my phone. (This is not a big deal, however)
All I want is to be able to use my home computer to get MY movies and songs onto my I-phone (from the home computer)-- and download new stuff, that once I put on my phone will transfer to my work computer when I plug sync my phone and work computer together.
Honestly, I don't need my wife's stuff or my kid's stuff, nor do I need for them to have my stuff. I don't care if we do share, I just don't want to chew up the memory on my phone with "Kidz Bop Vol 1-99", etc.
My work computer is my primary for my Itunes. If you are still with me, please help. Thanks!

Help with an Ipod Touch! Freezing up on music

Okay so about two months ago I bought a referbished 8gb Ipod Touch (4th gen), and it has worked perfect, until now. So last night I was just sitting there listening to music, and I wanted to change songs, but when I got to the song I was playing currently I couldn't do anything. IT was just frozen on that same song. The music was playing, but I couldn't "touch" to make anything else happen, I couldn't go back, turn up the music it was just frozen there. The song was still playing. Everything else works on the Ipod. I can still play apps, and search the web. But when it comes to music it rly is screwed up. I can search for the song I want, but then the same thing happen. Like the buttons are locked or something. I'm trying to resote it, will that help? Can they fix this? All help will be greatly appreciated!

Try:
- Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lst.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring from ckup via iTunes
- Restoring to factory defaults/new iPod

Synching ipod with new computer and lost music

We just got a new computer and I finally got to hook up my ipod. I tried moving my songs from the ipod into itunes and they wouldn't transfer so now I am synching the ipod with the computer; however, I seem to have lost the original songs that I had on my ipod before I downloaded the new songs. Did I really lose my songs or are they there? If they are there, how do I find them?
ipod mini 4GB Windows XP

If you syncronised your iPod with a new and different library it will have erased your original songs. You could have a look at this post for possible solutions but there's no real guarantee you'll get anything back: Buegie - Recovering Songs

I have purchased a Bose portable speaker for my ipod touch, the ipod finds the speaker and the music begins to play but as soon as start to walk away from the speaker the music stops, as I walk back next to speaker it starts again, i dont know why

I have purchased a Bose portable speaker to connect to my ipod touch, the ipod finds the speaker ok and the music plays whilst the ipod is next to it but once I start to walk away from the speaker the music stops, if i walk back towards the speaker the music starts again, you are suppoed to be able to walk around with ipod in your hand and play the music, change tracks etc. I bought the Bose speaker as someone I know already has one and showed me theres and how it worked, he can walk away from the speaker with his ipod touch no problem, so I dont know why mine wont, same speaker, same ipod, does anyone know
any bluetooth issues, can bluetooth go wrong, can you get it repaired ????? I'm baffled. Thanks

How far away are you walking? Bluetooth has a range of 10 metres - less if there are walls and other obstacles in the way.

Help. My 120GB Ipod only stores 113GB and my music collection is 118GB.
