Ipod 30 gig only has 200mb memory

30 gig video only loads about 30 songs before it slows up and gives errors. It acts crazy and gives me 69 errors among others, then it starts messing up my computer. I have reformatted and restored 20 times or so and doesn't matter what order the somgs go in, only the first 30 or so of my 200+ will go smoothly, the disk reads empty but won't work a message pops up om my lower task bar aying that my hardware or network is corrupted. Tried to change drive letter but same result. Tried formatting, nothing...system says it is working fone and that I have lots more room. Just doesn't want to load past 200mb. My wife's identical ipod works fine with same library, and my ipod sti;; craps out on her laptop.. I reformatted again, chkd disc. Is this a bad hard drive?I've used 189 mb and now I get error -69 on any file I try and load....ANYTHING PLEASE...

Well, I don't know how to force drives, but I did somehow manage my computer to come up with a message saying that my ipod is not setup to go with windows or whatever and ask me if I want to upgrade it... I fixed this part... my ipod always said windows, but some reason I got that message... Now my ipod is back to 18.5 GB ... but now my itunes still isn't locating the ipod and I still can't upload my songs... what now?

My ipod nano 6g only has 247Mo of memory

After formatting it on windows, it shows only a capacity of 247 Mo. Therefore, there is only one partition (no hidden partition)

That doesn't seem right. Where are you seeing this 247 MB of available space?

I have a 20G Ipod, but it only has 18.55G on it???

Is there something factory installed that uses up the 1.45G? Can I remove anything from it to free up space for more music...like contacts, podcasts, etc?

I believe its a way in which the device is formatted but im not totally sure. It ivolves alot of numbers all i know is my 30gb iPod only shows around 27 my Pc HDD is a 200GB and only shows 189 so theres no problem with your ipod maybe someone can explain why its like this ive completely forgotton.

My ipod mini ACTUALLY only has 2.36 GB of space...help

does anyone else's ipod mini already have 1.41 gb of space eaten up even though there are no songs on your ipod?
if so, can someone please tell me how to delete that 1.41 gb of space?
maybe my ipod mini is just defected....=(

Moe,
It's probably just a software glitch on the iPod which can be cured by restoring it.
Use the latest iPod updater for this (not the supplied CD), and when the updater asks you to connect the iPod, do so and choose restore.
If you have more questions, post back.

My 160gb iPod classic now only holds 4 songs.

It syncs up to 521 songs then iTunes freezes. When my iPod disconnects it only has 4 songs!
It worked fine for around 2 years...
Help! Please and thank you!

I have over 1000 songs in my iTunes by the way.

I have the ipod touch 64 gig and it only has 59 gigs available

i originally had the 32 gig itouch and it only had just under 30 gigs avaiable. but i exchanged it for the 64 gig version and yet it only has 59 gigs avaiable. why are 5 gigs remaining since its obviously not due to software or anything. seems like a big rip-off with nearly 10% of the memory missing.

so in other words apple purposly misleads cunsumers?? one would assume that if you purchased something with 64 gigs of memory the "true" storage space would be something nearing 64 gigs. then minus whats needed for the OS. We're not talking about a 500 gig harddrive where a little space loss doesnt matter much (though it is still rediculous) if apple knows that there is only going to be 59 gigs available to the consumer then advertising 64 gigs is fraud. it should be advertised as 59 gigs and priced accordingly. seems to me that maybe they are trying to save some money by cutting corners, im just surprised this hasnt become a massive issue. 64 gigs is a pittling amount of space but theres no choice as they dont have a larger size. but to then suddenly say well thats not what you actually get and lop off 5 gigs for NOTHING. 1 or 2gig for the sake of the OS i could understand completely but 5 gigs for absolutly no reason is just plain stupid.
Again this is just me but a company that knows its customers are not going to get what they are advertising is just plain wrong.

60 gig ipod and see it has no firewire cable

I just opened my 60 gig ipod and see it has no firewire cable, just a usb cable.
Where do I get a firewire cable?
and
All I have is USB V1 will it work?

the new iPods are not working with firewire... I think you can purchase a firewire cable to plug your iPod, but it will only charge the battery, no transfer is possible
your iPod will work with usb 1, but it will be slower and it won't charge the battery
so you have to buy a usb power adapter (in an Apple Store or on the Apple web site)

The 4G iPod only has 256 MB of memory. Some apps are just memory hogs. Restarting the iPod frees up memory.

HT201272 My Laptops itunes has no memory of an album. My ipod's itunes however says purchased but wont let me download. if I click on one song it wants me to purchase it again..WHAT :O

I used to have an album now i dont. My ipod says that the album is purchased. It wont let me download it and tries to make me buy the songs. my computer doesnt say that it is purchased and only has the digital booklet. HELP ME!

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.

Why is it that i am unable to buy an ipod nano 16gb in germany? In the stores it is advertised however not available, the store only has the 8gb and I can't ship it here? Is it a case of not yet launched, patent infringement or apple just being annoying?

I am trying, thus far with no success, to buy an ipod nano 16gb here in Germany. However whilst the stores advertise it they don't have it in stock and can't tell when it will be. The german apple store only has the 8gb version. Should i try to order from a reseller then they will only post within the uk. iSo my question is - whats going on? Why are there no 16gb ipods to be (apparantly) had in Germany? Not launched yet? Patent infringement? Apple being very annoying?

Call Apple or an Apple Store in your city and ask them. Or do a Google search.

I shared my itunes account with my daughter for many years while she had only an ipod. She now has her own iphone with her own itunes account. Is it possible to transfer the purchases she made on my account over to her new itunes account?

No. Purchase always remain with the account they were purchased with.

My 6th generation ipod nano volume adjusts itself and turns down volume without me touching it. This is the second ipod on which this has happened. I can't be the only one with this problem. Help!

My ipod nano 6th generation has started changing the volume while music is playing. It doesn't matter whether I am running or sitting. It will turn volume down to zero in the middle of a song. This happened on my last ipod a few months ago and I returned it and got a new one. This is my second grey one. I don't want to have to return it again, but I might.

Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store. Let them see what you are seeing. Only this time............
Prior to leaving the Apple Store: ***Make sure you have the store staff power the iPod Nano up and demonstrate that it is indeed working properly to your satisfaction.***

All of a sudden, my ipod touch will only recognize/play purchased items. I then have to completely reset the ipod and re-sync. I've had to do this 6 times, and support has been no help.

So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?
