How much space does the 4th gen iPod touch 8GB actually have?

I'm considering buying the new 4th gen iPod touch but am not sure whether to get 8GB or 32GB (wish they had 16GB). My 2nd gen iPod is 8GB, but only has 6.8GB available according to the about tab. I'm down to about 500MB, and am about to import 1GB of music. I'll pick and choose for now (70% I don't listen to anyways). But does anyone know how much available space there actually is for the new 4th gen iPod touch 8GB (I know 32GB is plenty big )?
If it's not worth it, I won't buy it, but mine is having a few problems and I would like a new one that I know is fine instead of refurbished w/ the battery needing replaced (and a camera would be nice).

I do use it a lot for games...they tend to be larger files. My songs are whatever my dad buys and whatever I buy. Once I import this big batch of songs I will be at 700 songs and then will only add more when Dad or I buy them. I make a lot of money for a high schooler but my mom doesn't like how much I spend on iTunes (she's not into music the way I am). I don't want to have to pick and choose on which apps I have on my iPod. Songs, I can pick and choose if necessary. I just hate running low on available space.

  • Does the 4th Gen iPod touch and the iPads really support 802.11n?

    Ok so I see on the boxes of my iPad and my iPod touch 4 say that they support 802.11n wifi connections. The iPad even supports 5Ghz 802.11n. However when I change the settings on my network to '802.11n only', only my MacBook Pro can connect to the network.
    Config Details:
    802.11 Band - 2.4Ghz
    802.11n Mode - Auto
    Bandwith - 20Mhz
    Security - WPA2-PSK [AES]
    What's really going on?? I also see that all the devices are in 'g mode' and only my computer is in 'n mode' based on the router settings.

  • Where is the Water Sensor located at on the 4th gen iPod Touch?

  • How can you connect your 4th gen ipod touch to a 3g network?

    how can you connect your 4th gen ipod touch to a 3g network?

    Yu need a device like the following:
    - A MiFi or similar. They are credit-card size devices that act a wifi hotspot and then connect to a cellulare network
    - Use a smart phone that can act as a wifi hotspot to share it s cellular connection. An iPhone will also do that via bluetooth. You need to purchase a tethering plan .

  • Whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one ?

    whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one apart from it being white?

    Yeah it sadly appears to be only color, I guess Apple and thier infinate wisdom decided iPod touches dont need to be as fast as the new iPhone. If it had a5 it could do Siri:(

  • How do you use the 2nd gen ipod touch as a hard drive?

    I restored it and renamed it because my sister gave it to me, and now I restored it to use it as my own, and it works fine and all, occasionally saying it can't sync some applications and movies because it can't find the file or something, and I've tried removing all my music (which is like, 5.5 GB total) and it still has those same errors. The other thing I have a problem with, as the subject implies, how do I use it as a hard drive? I've seen the tutorials on apple, but I don't see the "enable disk use" on itunes in the XXXXX's ipod summary tab.

    The iPod touch doesn't have the "enable disk use" option of other iPods.
    A program called AirSharing will let you mount the iPod touch as a wireless drive

  • Why does my 4th gen ipod touch not find the same wifi signals that my macbook does?

    My macbook connects to btfon/btopenzone everytime,  but my ipod touch can only occaisonally recieve the signal and when it does will drop connection very often.

    Also, the Mac, if relatively new, will see networks that operate on the 5 GHz N band. The iPod only sees 2.4 GHz networks..

  • I'm having troubles connecting to my wifi at home. I have the 4th Gen. iPod touch. My screen is cracked, does this have anything to do with it? I recently had a trip down to LA, and before my trip the wifi was working fine. Is there anyway to fix this?

    the wifi works perfectly fine on all my other electronics, and I've already tried reseting and moving the router. The wifi signal is only strong if I am within 5 feet of the router.

    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    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.
    - Power off and then back on the router.

  • Can the 4th gen iPod Touch run the same apps as iPhone 4?

    I am sorry, I'm not much informed about stuff like this, so I'm pretty much a noob.
    I got my eye on the new iPod Touch, especially because it is (from what I've read) an iPhone 4 without the phone and the GPS and a somewhat slightly inferior camera and display. I like the iPhone, too, of course, but the price is something that is really important to me, so it's iPod Touch for me.
    I read about all the new features for the new iPod, such as games and other apps, but I'm wondering - can it run the same games apps as the iPhone?
    From the fact they operate on the same OS and that they're very similar hardware wise (same processor) I concluded that they can run the same apps, but as I never seen it officially and as there only "iPhone apps" on iTunes store (not iPod Touch apps) I got the impression that might not be true.
    So I am asking here now, does the latest iPod Touch run the same apps (games etc.) as the latest iPhone? And can I run the iPhone apps I buy from the appstore on the iPod Touch 4th gen?
    I am sorry for my uninformativeness and I thank you in advance.

    Most of the iPhone apps will work the same way on the 4G iPod as they do on the phone. However, other that rely on the specific feature unique to the phone may install but will not work well if at all. The App Store should identify the system/device requirements.

  • Would N.O.V.A 3 lagg on my 4th gen ipod touch 8gb (4.9 GB Availible)

    I recently bought this iPod touch and I got tired of these free games and I was googling games and looking at some on youtube when I found this . It reminded me of Halo and I was like " Oh mother of god , this game looks cool ". From past experience I want too know a little more about the game. Also will I need wifi too play this game because Im going somewhere tomorrow and thier internet has a password.

    Looking at the description it only needs internet connection for multiplayer games.
    I would not expect it to lag since it says it is good for the 3G and 4G iPods.

  • Why is the app store so laggy and unstable on the 4th gen iPod touch running iOS 6?

    the App Store lags and crashers heaps to the point were it is pretty much unusable

    of the 4 touch screen units we have we have a ios 5.1.1 touch and ipad that we did not upgrade after I did just my touch, but my wifes new iphone 4s that came with ios 6 has had no problems at all.  she went with the iphone 4s due to the "fire wire" connection issue. we both think it was a good for business / crappy for upgraders move on apples part ... we didnt want to have to buy an adapert for everything we use I ios devices for.

  • My 4th gen ipod touch will not work in a philips or Sony docking station

    I bought a philips(DC320) clock radio and my ipod touch would not work in it.  Thinking it was a problem with the connector on the radio I returned it and bought a Sony ICF-CS15ip because the store was out of the philips radio.  When I plugged my 4th gen ipod touch into that again my Ipod touch would not play through the radio but the radio would recognize and charge the ipod.  I tried my daughter's 2nd gen ipod touch in the Sony and it worked great.  So It looks like there is a problem with the my ipod.  Sony claims that the ICF-CS15ip is compatible with the 4th gen ipod touch and I have the latest IOS 5.1.1 on my ipod.  Any suggestions before I go to the Apple store?  The Ipod is only 6 months old.

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPOd.
    That has worked for some users.
    However, sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility. In that case yo have to wait for either Apple or the dock manufacturer to issue a firmware update.
