Ipod doesnt hold 20gb

ever since i got this 20gb ipod i have yet to get more than 1000 songs on it even though it says up to 5000. i've converted to compressed files like they say,applelossless but no change in capacity, plus i can't download anything unless it is store bought, mixed cd's in mp3 format won't download. man i hate this thing. trying to find or get help from apple is wasting my time. anyone have any ideas,please before i smash this thing. thanks

Hi there "ihate ipods", (the world has a surplus of capital letters at the moment so why not use a few?)
Apple Lossless is not a very compact file size. I suggest using AAC's or MP3's. Change your import settings to MP3 or similar and then convert your songs to MP3's. It will take ages but it well let you put more on your iPod and save a heck of a lot of disk space.
To "download" a CD that you've made or bought, put it in your computer, open iTunes if it didn't already open, then navigate to the CD in the Source List and click on it. In the top right corner, hit the "IMPORT" button. If it doesn't work and you can see the songs in Winderz Explorer then use the "Add To Library" option.
Make sense?

    Have you tried rebooting for the Mac and iPod to see if that helps? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    It wouldn't hurt to also try plugging the iPod into another USB port and use a different USB sync cable.

  • Please Help! - iPod Click Wheel 20GB

    I just finished charging my iPod. After unpluging the firewire cable from the charger, I attempted to turn on the iPod. The Apple symbol comes up, but can not see the main menu of the iPod to play music. Now the iPod keeps restarting just showing the Apple symbol and will not stop. I have attempted to reset the iPod and it has not worked and the iPod is not in Hold mode. The iPod case is somewhat hot too!
    I am just going to allow the iPod to keep restarting until the battery needs another charging.
    Please assist me in what I can do. I do not want to take it to the Apple store for repairs!

  • 5th gen. battery doesnt hold a charge

    ipod nano 5th gen doesnt hold a charge

    This works:
    Make sure your iPod is completely flat.
    Then charge it fully. (zero to 100% non-stop)
    When it goes flat again, leave it alone for a few days.
    Then charge it fully again.
    Do this a couple of times
    This kind of gives the battery a boost.
    Hope this helps

  • Since IOS 5 the accelerometer of my iPod doesnt work anymore, anyone knows how to fix this?

    The accelerometer of my iPod Touch doesnt work anymore, it has worked perfectly, untill i updated the device to iOS 5.

    Did you try to reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again?

  • Nano doesnt hold right amount of songs

    i have had my nano since march of this year and this is and it works great it just doesnt hold the right amoun of songs it is a 2GB black nano and it is suposed to hold 500 songs put it only holds in the low 400s how can i fix this any help at all would be great

    My guess is there's nothing wrong with your Nano at all.
    Apple only estimates that you can fit 500 songs on a 2GB Nano.
    That estimate is based on all of those tracks being 128kbps AAC files of 4 minutes each, without artwork or lyrics.
    If your songs are longe than 4 minutes each or encoded at a higher bitrate than 128kbps... then you'll fit less than the estimated 500 tracks.

  • HT4623 my ipod doesnt let me download any kind of music downloader it keeps on saying this app requires ios something.

    my ipod doesnt let me download any kind of music downloader or any thing like subway surfer games it keeps on saying something like this app needs ios something.

    Then your ipod would need ios something in order to use the apps.
    If your iphone is compatible then update the ios version.  Otherwise, you cannot use the apps.

  • How many pictures does a 30 GB ipod video hold?

    how many pictures does a 30 GB ipod video hold? and i know it is probably somewhere on the website but i couldnt find it. could someone please answer me soon, thank you.

    A 30GB iPod will hold as many photos as will fit in 27.75GB of space. If some of the iPod's capacity is used for music or other purposes, fewer photos will fit on the iPod. Apple's site specifies 25000 photos.

  • My itunes library has more songs than my ipod will hold.

    My itunes library has more songs than my ipod will hold. What is the best way for me to choose what actually goes on the ipod?

    Or, when you are synching choose the songs you want on the IPod by checking them in the library, then tell it to only synch checked items.
    To be honest, the 'smart playlist' is probably a simpler way though. Go to playlists, click 'create new smart playlist' and choose your parameters from there. As you add new music to the library the playlist will update itself.
