I have a brand new 8gb iPod touch 4g which has 0.43gb of other data right out of the box.

I have a brand new 8gb iPod touch 4g which has 0.43gb of other data before I've even put anything on it.I appreciate the OS takes up about 1.5gb, but this is in addition to that. There is absolutely nothing on the iPod and I've already done a factory reset.
The amount of yellow "other" data seems to go up and down if I click sync (although it is not syncing anything). There is no other data on the device. Is this normal?

That is about right. Normally it is about 1/2 GB. If can grow because of corrupt files. Then it is necessary to restore the iPod sometimes from backup works but sometimes a restore to factory defaults/new iPod is required. The other is made of ite items that do not fit the other categories listed.

My Brand New Refurbished Ipod Touch is not working

I just bought a brand new refurbished Ipod touch 32GB (current generation), after a week it shows flickering white screens. I seldom used it for the whole week. When I went to apple service centre they told me that the water leak indicator turns into purple colour supposedly white. I ask them, how this thing can happen, because honestly I was always keep it safe and never been contact to any liquid or soak into water. Then I went to another service centre to get second thought – same feedback was given to me. The warranty was void because of the water leak indicator turns into purple colour.
Anyone can help me to resolve my case? Honestly, I seldom used my Ipod touch, never been contact with water and it was always safely kept. Maybe there is some problem down the factory line, why it was refurbished? What is the history of this iPod touch? Maybe from there, something can help me that can prove that is the original problem of this iPod touch.

i also got a refurb Touch. luckily, mine works as expected.
a refurb enjoys the same warranty as a new one. take yours to an Apple store near you and have it replaced.

Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box?

Why does my brand new MacBook pro have 13 cycles on the battery right out of the box? Shouldn't it have 0 because it's brand new.

Yes it should have 0. I would return it, that means that the battery has already went through 13 full cycles. Perhaps they accidentally resold a returned one as new.

I have a 4th gen 20G ipod whose hard drive has died. Are replacement hard drives available through the apple store?

I have a 4th gen 20G ipod whose hard drive has died. Are replacement hard drives available through the apple store?

I don't think Apple will do that repair for you, because the iPod is too old. I believe the hard drive type used in 4th gen and older iPods is no longer produced. There may be non-Apple shops who can do the repair, but they may be using a working part salvaged from a used iPod.
If you want to do the repair work yourself, and you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Original
(There are probably also YouTube videos on the topic.)
NOTE: There are two hard drive physical sizes. The thick version has two platters, and corresponds to the "thick" iPods (with double storage capacity). A 4th gen 20GB model should be the thin version. The hard drive used in iPods up to 4th gen should work interchangeably, but 5th gen and later iPods use a different type.
I have a 4th gen iPod that started out as a 20GB. The hard drive failed, so I put a compact flash card on an adapter in there. The adapter is like this one (I bought it a few years ago so it's probably not the same seller)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Compact-Flash-CF-SSD-To-Toshiba-IPod-1-8-inch-Adapte r-Black-/121174875639
The compact flash card is standard; I bought the cheapest one. I currently have an 8GB card in there, but prices have come down, so I may get a 64GB card soon. It works great with the 8GB card. No more hard drive spin-up delay. Battery lasts longer. It's lighter. And it should be more shock resistant.
The only mod I needed to make on the adapter was to bend over two pins 90º, where you place a jumper to set the drive to "master." The adapter plus CF card is actually smaller and thinner than just original 1.8-inch Toshiba hard drive; I used some thin foam packing material (cut to the right shape) to take up the excess space and ensure the adapter and card did not become disconnected.
The 4th gen iPod has excellent sound, compared to some later iPods.

Bought daughter new 8gb ipod touch but it only takes 900 of her 1400 songs. Has anyone else had this problem?

Bought daugher the 8gb ipod touch to replace her nano but it only takes 900 of her 1400 songs. Has anyone else had this problem? I was told that it would hold 2000+ songs. She had no photos or videos on it, just uses it for music. Can anyone advise. Thanks

The person who told you it would hold 2000+ songs was stretching the truth. This might be true with 128kbps MP3 files. Not true with 256kbps AAC files (like from the iTunes store).
128kbps MP3s are around 2 to 4MB each. 2000 x 3MB = 6GB.
256kbps AAC files are often 5 to 10MB each
The average size of your daughter's music files is 6.5GB/900 = 7.2MB
1400 songs at 7.2MB = 14GB
Many of us have the problem of not being able to sync our entire music collections. In that you are not alone. The answer about converting to 128kbps AAC is a possible solution. It sacrifices sound quality for size, though. My solution is to sync what I usually want to listen to. I have many songs that I rarely listen to; the result of ripping complete CDs, including all the "filler" songs.

Brand New 30g Video Ipod...dead right out of the box

So I take my new ipod out of the box and it wont turn on. I plug it up to the outlet charger and the screen lights up but says nothing and does nothing. It makes a little humming noise and gets very very hot also. Plugging it up to computer hasn't helped, it doesn't even light up with it. Anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to Discussions!
Have you tried resetting the iPod by holding the Menu and Center buttons?
If that doesn't change anything, it sounds like you received a defective iPod.
You can 1) return it to the store or 2)fill out a service request here: http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod

I have a song on my ipod touch I can't get rid of. Even if I uncheck the artist and re-sync the file still is showing. It has a weird circle with a stop icon next to the file.

I also tried to manually manage the music files and removed them all from my ipod. But the file still remains. It only is appearing on my ipod touch, it does not show in itunes. And when I add the file that shows in itunes, it shows up twice. One is normal and the other has that stop button icon next to it. Please help.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Buying New - Which models are Windows 7, 64-bit ready out of the box?

Have always had HP printers and love them. In reading the posts many questions are for Windows 7 and existing printers. I am in the market for a new inkjet for text. Don't want an all-in-one. Can anyone tell me which HP printer models are Windows 7, 64-bit ready out of the box? Store personel readily point to the "Windows 7 ready" stickers on display models, however, look confused when I press the 64 vs 32 bit issue. Thanks

Win 7 64-bit will install software and drivers written for Win 7 32-bit without any problems. I've presonally installed hundreds of printers on Win 7 64-bit without any problems. Do you have a specific printer in mind?

Today I got my new 8gb iPod touch 4g. It says I have used 6.4gb but I have no availability left?

Please help. I have roughly 900 songs and only 16 apps and I thought an 8gb iPod holds more than that; it however says I have no availability left.

Audio - 5.7GB
Photos - 0.02GB
Apps - 0.25 GB
Other - 0.53GB
Over capacity - 0.08GB
Total capacity - 6.39GB
Is there a way to fix this in any way? I don't want to have to buy a new iPod touch cos 32GB is too much and also too expensive for me

My touch screen stopped working...on my brand new replacement iPod touch.

I recieved my replacement while on vacation in Vegas, about five days ago. My new iPod has been kept nice and safe in it's case without any bumps that could damage it. Today, May 4th, I go to school with a perfectly working iPod. On my way home, kept safe in my pocket all day, the touch screen stopped working, and restarting it didn't fix it. It's brand new, so whats wrong and how can I fix it PLEASE!

yes i have the same problem. But also other then the fact that the touch screen doesnt register it is really dark, like there is no light bulb

Brand New Replacement Ipod Touch

This is really basic. I think I know the answer anyway, but I thought I'd ask just to check. I got a brand new replacement 4th gen ipod touch today. I just brought it home and haven't done anything to it yet. This is actually my 3rd replacement. The previous one I had received from the Apple store came inside the plastic casing the same as if you were to purchase it. The one I received today still had that thin plastic peel protector around it but I just wasn't given the case it would go in. They just gave me a brand new ipod like that. My previous ipod was last backed up a few days ago in my itunes. With this new one, would I have to synch it just like a new one or would there be anyway to transfer anything that had been backed up? As I said, this is really basic but I'm not very familiar with Apple products. I just know how to use an ipod.
Also, a seperate question but since it's been a while since I last had a brand new ipod, should I be leaving it to charge or something before using it or... What exactly should I do?

- Follow these instructions:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
- I doubt it is new. You will only get a new one if they do not have any refurbished one available. The refurbished ones include a new back and new battery. If new it will come in a brown box, not like a retail new one.
- Just charge untill it is fully charged and then use it.

Brand New 8Gb iPod: Available Space = 7.43Gb

I just plugged in my brand new iPod, supposedly with 8Gb of memory available. Now I understand if some memory is chewed up by software/firmware etc, and that some 'rounding errors' show up with memory scaling. However, I find it hard to believe that there is over 500Mb 'missing' from the iPod. That's 7.125% loss of space, 7.43Gb out of 8.00Gb.
So my question overall is... is this normal and expected, or do I have a particulary unhappy set of flash memory? Are there any steps that should be taken, or is this a 'just eat it and be happy' kind of thing?
Thanks for the help,
-R

It's normal.
The OS accounts for a few mbs of storage space.
It's the way that storage space is calculated by manufacturers, and the way that computers read it differently.
Read this. Although it refers to hard drives (and the nano has flash memory), the calculations are the same, and that accounts for the so called "missing space". The decimal/binary difference affects all types of storage including both hard drives and flash memory.
iPod: About the hard disk size.
Hard disk: Is it missing space?
This is the excellent explanation by forum member Rich Fleming.
<quote> "The Flash in the Nano needs to emulate a hard disk, so that any computer it is attached to sees it as a valid storage device.
When you are using a DoM type of storage system, the Flash memory will behave exactly like a hard drive, and is subject to the exact same Binary vs Decimal discrepancy in the capacity measurements.
A 4GB Nano is 4 billion bytes (decimal 4,000,000,000) of storage... according to the operating system. This is because the operating system doesn't see it as a Flash memory. It sees it as an actual hard drive.
As such, 4 billion bytes to the operating system is reported as about 3.7GB of storage because of the decimal-to-binary conversion." <end of quote>
