Ipod Memory Problem Please Help

Just checked my 60gb Ipod after 3 music library loses due to windows, and it is reading as only 55gb available space. Is this normal because I know with external hard drives you lose some memory due to opporating system info, but should I have lost 5gigs from a 60gig hard drive just for this info? Does anyone else have this problem? Is it normal?

mf: That sounds about right. It's accepted industry practice (sadly) to round up to the nearest big number when describing hard drive capacities. The iPod 60gig is after all a 55gig hard drive
I bought a Lacie Terrabyte drive on the weekend to discover that it's not 1,000meg but 939meg.....I expected to lose a few gig but a whopping 61.
So all you lost was a little over a top end Nano in capacity. I lost a whole top end 5G

Memory problem please help Idmediently

Hey guys, Ive got an ipad 3 (16gb) and I had a look on my memory i have a few games and apps (GarageBand, keynote, imovie, pages, monoply, game of life and a few others) and it said 12.2 gb used and 1.2gb available i think that's counted wrong and I know approx 1000mb is 1gb it's impossible what do I do to get it accurate, even my brain holds more memory than that! Please help ASAP also I've tried restarting it
Here is a list of apps:
GarageBand 696mb
Imovie 531mb
Ibooks 366mb
Keynote 362mb
Numbers 336mb
Pages 311mb
And 52 apps are 150mb and under
I know that I had the same number of apps yesterday and the memory was 8.2gb I want it to be accurate.
Reply ASAP.

Centipedee, No memory problem, you don't have enough room. It can take at least 2 times the required memory to load an app to the iPod. Once it loads it only requires 1.8GB of memory space but to get it there you'll need at least (maybe more) 3.6GB of space, I know it sounds screwy but it's how it works. Hope this helps, Good luck.

IPod Mini Problems Please Help

This is my second post of the type... no one replied to that so im hoping someone could help me.
Problems:
-Wont Update or Load Songs
-It starts loading, gets to around the 5th song (out of well over 600) and says "Ipod Update Complete, OK To Disconnect" though nothing is on the iPod.
-Occasionally wont restore to factory settings.
Okay, before you suggest the five R's, ill note that ive put several MONTHS into this, and ive tried them well over 20 times in order.
Things Tried
-5 R's Repeatedly (as noted above)
-updating on a friends computer (several times with no luck, same problems)
-requested help over the phone
-The number i called was the Apple US Help Line, which the person helped me for about an hour before he said he did not know what was up, and transfered me to the Canadian help line, where they demanded a large sum for help, which i could not pay (under 18).
-When i first noticed the problems, I sent it in (around the end of december)and problems continued upon arrival of the new mini.
I will also note that my sisters iPod Nano works perfectly fine, no problems, as well as my friends iPods adding songs from my computer.
Please please help... im currently resorting to a crappy CD player that skips for my music... and have been... its starting to break me inside.
Thank you,
Milan

Natalie,
If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that do not disconnect message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select eject. Another way would be to use the safely remove hardware icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject.
If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes, right click on the iPod in iTunes, select options and if you have a check mark in the box marked enable disk use, remove it and your iPod should automatically disconnect after its finished transferring music.
For the iPod to automatically open iTunes, you have to have "open iTunes when this iPod is attached" checked.
Go to edit/preferences/iPod to do this.
If you prefer to keep the iPod set to manual transfer, look at this. In fact, the whole tutorial is a must read.

Ipod 80gb problem please help

If the battery has run down, you need to leave the iPod connected to power for at least thirty minutes before anything appears to happen. Only then will it show any signs of life and you will need to leave it to charge up before disconnecting it.

IPod touch problem PLEASE HELP NEEDED!

okay so it was my birthday 3 days ago and i got an iPod Touch 32gig 3GS as a gift. i installed some apps n they worked fine. put some music on it. then for some reason i found out tilting doesnt work. later on as i exited a game i wanted to listen to some music, music wouldnt work. so i thought i'd reset it. i went on the ipod touch general thing, went to reset all setting and delete all media. i thought it was frozen as it went to the apple screen with the little circle with lines filling up in the center. i thought it was frozen so i turned it off. now NOTHING WILL HAPPEN, i cant close it, it has to run out of power, when i put it on charge again it turns on and does the same thing, but does nothing, the little circle fills until its full then it blacks out and does the same thing. but NOTHING HAS BEEN HAPPENING. ITS BEEN HOURS! i tried to plug it in to my computer but iTunes wont show it on the source panel so i cant reset it from there, maybe i just cant find it in iTunes? PLEASE HELP! i dont want to have to send it in to apple, but i may have to if this persists!

Ipod connection problem, please help!!

Hi
The problem is when i plug my ipod nano, into my computer the new hardware sound happens and it shows up in device manager and disk management but doesnt come up in itunes, my computer or ipod updater. I have tried the 5 r's (cant restore because it doesnt show up) and tried changing the drive letter. i have recently upgraded motherboard and it has stopped working since then so i am guessing it is something to do with that. (also it works on other computers)
Thanks Joss

HotSpot Shield sounds like that may be the issue--especially if your IP address is different.

N95(8gb) Memory Problem (please help)

Hello
New here, so I hope I'm posting this in the right area of the board.
I have recently purchased a second hand N95 (8gb) but having problems with the mass memory. Yesterday, while downloading some tracks to the handset (about 2 hours worth of tracks from scratch), a warning kept appearing on the phone saying that memory was full and that I needed to delete some data. I went to the memory section of the phone and by mistake I pressed the 'format mass memory' thinking it would help, but it didn't. I still cannot put any tracks or videos to the phone. Intotal I have only 18 tracks, some 1 hour 12 mins in length. Clearly something has gone wrong.
The phones capacity is currently reading:
Capacity: 7735mb
Used: 1472kb
Free: 7734mb
Hope that someone can assist.
Many thanks
Jonathan

IPOD+ITUNES problem, please help

Before I loaded the new version of itunes, I could plug in my ipod and drag and drop things from my itunes library into my ipod. After loading the new version I can no longer drag and drop songs from itunes to my ipod, and i cannot select individual songs on my ipod in itunes. All the songs on the ipod are grayed out. I cannot play any music on my ipod thru itunes. I have tried reinstalling and resetting everything. Please help

There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store because of the shock issue. I doubt it was caused by the update.

Not Charge
- See:

iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

and
try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod classic 120GB, please help

hello,
I got a problem with my itunes/ipod, I believe it's my ipod.
My Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod to my computer (windows 7 Professional, latest version of itunes),
it started when i've connected my ipod to itunes and I just plugged it out when it was syncronizing.
after that my whole content (music, pic's, video's) are deleted. The default stuff is the only thing what's left on it.
And now every time I connnect my ipod classic my itunes freezes. I've installed itunes on my new computer but it keeps doing nothing..
I've tried the support pages from apple but I just can't fix this problem, please help.
