I am trying to sync 11 new songs onto my iPod, and I have over 2 GB of free space, but my computer keeps telling me I can't sync because I need more space. How can that be?

My iPod touch is not syncing correctly. I'm trying to add 11 new songs, and a message pops up telling me I need 24 more mb of space. In the bar below, it says I have over 2 gb of space free. Additionally, a playlist I was trying to add songs to is not adding the correct songs. In my iTunes, it has all the music, but when I synced, only 2 of the songs were transfered onto my actual iPod. I don't know what's going on or why. Help is much appreciated!!

Make sure that yo have the boxed chanced to only sync the checked music. It appears that it is trying to sync ore than those.
You can try unsycing all music and resyncing.

I have purchased 9 songs on I tune and cannot get them over to my IPOD play list----I have tried to sync them like the old times I have tried dropping them into my IPOD wont take. Can someone explain how I can get these new songs onto my IPOD and out of my purchase list

Do you have the Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 Kbps AAC option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?
If so, disable it and then click the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to apply the changes to your device.

I need to move my library to a new computer. This is music downloaded from CD's. Is the only way to do this is to sync all songs to my ipod and they transfer them to the new computer?

I need to move my library to a new computer. my music is downloaded CD's. Is the only way to do this to sync all songs to the ipod and them sync to new computer. the new computer is already authorized.

If using a Mac, use Migration Assistant to move your iTunes library from old computer to new. Afterwards you can sync from your new computer to your iPod.

All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone.

Thanks for your help Jeff. When I put serial# in, it won't except it.... I think it wants to see a previous version in my pc because my serial is for an upgrade, but when it put in a serial# for version cs5 it still wont except. Do you think i have to install cs5 first (which is also an upgrade).. which will require that I put in version cs4 etc,.etc., etc.
Do you know how I can get into an chat with Adobe.Thats what i had to do last time I installed CS6 in my desktop PC.
Thanks / Ron

IPad abruptly quit, started playing Gaga's Scheibe song and will not now show up in "Devices" on iTunes. Keeps telling me it detects an iPad in Recovery mode. Cannot get past that. Help!

How do I recover the data on my iPad2? It abruptly quit while I was shutting down and started playing Gaga's Scheibe from "Born this Way" -- it was not coming from My Music or iTunes. I pressed both home key and side button to get it to stop and plugged it in to recharge. The USB connector to iTures screen showed up and that's as far as I can go. Had an appointment at the "genius bar" this morning and all they tell me is that they can "restore" which will not save any info I have. The last backup I did was April 2013 (I know, very stupid of me). iTunes does not recognize the device. It's all greyed out and I get a window that says iTunes detected an iPad in Recovery mode. That's as far as I can get. I really don't want to lose any data. Please help me. Thank you. Nancy

You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
Here's how to do the recovery. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

Why can't I download the waiting songs on my iTunes? I have over 2gb storage free

why can't I download the "waiting" songs on my iTunes ? I have 2gb of free storage

I'm guessing because the servers or part of the network is still overloaded by millions of other trying to do the same.
Some seem to think this helped:

HT201250 I'm using a back-up drive because I need more space.

I have set up time machine, but it keeps saying that it will delete old backups?
If, for example, I wanted to delete my entire iphoto album because it is taking up too much room, will it still be there? Because, with the fact that it updates hourly and states that it will 'delete old back-ups' does that mean that at one point, the 'old back-up' that contains all my photos could disappear? Really need help here!! I'm finding it difficult to explain so if you need more explanation, then please let me know!!

Backups are extra copies of original files, in case there's a problem with the originals.
They are not extra space for the "overflow" that won't fit on your internal HD.
That's true of all backup apps, but since Time Machine does automatically delete things, you should never delete originals intentionally. Depending on when backups are run, the backup copies may be deleted in as little as 24 hours, or kept for as long as there's room on the backup drive.
For best results, you need another external HD to copy the "overflow" files to, then delete from your Mac's HD.
And have Time Machine back up both your Mac's internal HD and the storage drive.
Be sure to format a storage drive for a Mac, so Time Machine can back it up, per #1 in Using Disk Utility.
To have it backed-up by Time Machine, remove it from the exclusion list in Time Machine Preferences > Options, by selecting it and clicking the minus sign.
Most files can be just dragged to the storage drive via the Finder.
For some other files you might want to move, see:
Moving your iTunes Music folder
Moving your iPhoto '11 Library
Moving iMovie '11 footage to another drive

Computer crashed before I could sync new songs onto ipod

I was wondering if there is a way to effectively "repurchase" the songs I just bought, without actually paying again. I purchased a bunch and burned them onto a CD before I lost my entire Itunes library in a crash. Unfortunately, that CD has some sound quality issues, I think because I burned it at maximum speed, my bad.
I feel like Itunes should be allowing me to get those songs without having to sync them from my Ipod, as in, I go into my Itunes Store purchase history and put those all on my "new" library. Is this just wishful thinking?

You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so: iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

I am trying to download an app onto my ipod and everytime i try it has me verify my account info, once i do it tell me that i need to contact support. how do i fix this?

Does anyone know how to fix this?

SOmeone else posted a similar post. Check your settings to make sure your account hasn't disabled downloads/updates or restricked to a data amount/Wifi only, or secure Wifi, etc.
IMO you need to go to the Apple Store if none of what I typed is helpful.
Hope this helps you.....I assume your phone is not jail broken.

Time Machine Backups external drive developed problem which the disk repair utility cannot fix, so suggested reformat. I can't reformat because the "Resource Busy". How can I reformat this drive?

My Western Digital external hard drive which I use as a Time Machine Backup stopped working. I tried repairing the disk using the Disk Utility program,but got the message that the utility can't repair the disk and to erase and reformat the disk. When I try that, I get the message the operation can't be completed because "Resource Busy", even though Time Machine is turned off. Any suggestions for repairing the drive/disk?
Thank you.

See Pondini's TM FAQs for starters.
