Ipod mini cant take more than 20 songs

About 2 versions of itunes ago my ipod mini stopped being able to take more than 20-30 songs. I do not synch my mini as it can't hold all the songs I have in itunes. But when I try to drag songs it won't take as much as it used to. I've restored 6 or 7 times and it seems to get worst. I can drag one song at a time but around the tenth it copies really slow and by the time I get to the 20th it just hangs on copying and i have to force quit.
I have an old mini from 3 years ago. It's never been dropped or anything like that. Any thoughts?

When iPod Mini is ON Hold down the center and menu button. When you see the apple you will need to hold the center button and the play/pause button! Here are apple's steps! Then restore you iPod Mini
Learn how to manually put iPod into Disk Mode.
When troubleshooting an issue with your iPod, it's sometimes helpful to manually put it into Disk Mode. Read the instructions below for iPods that have a Click Wheel. If you're not sure if your iPod has a Click Wheel, click here. In order to return it to its normal operating state, you will have to reset iPod. The instructions in this article do not apply to iPod shuffle models.
Putting iPods with a Click Wheel into disk mode
Before placing the iPod into disk mode, you should verify that it is charged.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will change and say "Do not disconnect"
If you are having difficulty putting the iPod model into disk mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center.
If you are still unable to put your iPod with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
If you have an older iPod model without a Click Wheel
Before placing the iPod into disk mode you should verify that it has a charge.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, then release them. This resets iPod. When you reset iPod all your music and data files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost.
When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will change and say "Do not disconnect
Now click RESTORE to restore you iPod Mini

I assume I have a corrupt file so I tried to delete all my songs from my libary and just start from scratch. It freezed up again on me. I read up and then decieded to de install itunes and then re install again. I did but all my songs and play list appeared in the new itunes. What can I do to start from scratch? Is there any way to find out what files are correcupted in my itunes.

    Or Command click on the songs if they are not consecutive on the list.

  • Cant get more than 400 songs

    Hi,
    I've been having a problem with my iPod where it crashed iTunes if I tried putting anything on it. Sometimes it would also crash iTunes just by connecting. And in rare occasions it could cause a blue screen of death. I recently got it restored and everything seemed fine, but while i was putting music on it, as i got to 418 songs it got stuck, and a few seconds later iTunes crashed. I put it in disk mode and restored it again. Everything seemed fine, until I got to about 400 songs, and it crashed again.
    Please Help!
    My iPod is a 80gb Classic and I've had it for about a year I think. I'm using Vista.

    call the person/business that sold you the ipod and ask them what the deal is.

  • Nano Plus 1GB-- Cant play more than 30 songs

    I have tried drag and drop it recognizes all songs when attached to my pc, but when I disconnect from pc the songs are not there. Help me thanks.....

    What format are the songs in? What file structure are you using? Try deleting the files on the player, creating some folders in the root, then moving songs into the folders on the player.

  • Cant seem to put more than 41 songs on ipod shuffle

    i cant seem to sync more than 41 songs onto my new ipod shuffle and can not figure out why. i have tried to sync my entire music library on itunes and still the same 41 songs that i put on first appear and nothing more. plz help.......

    Even with 2GB storage space you should be able to sync more then 41 songs although bear in mind, it's not about how many songs but the song files sizes.
    Instead of trying to sync your entire library, try syncing your fav songs first, say 25 at a time.

  • ITunes: Can't copy more than 6553 songs to ipod?

    I've been having major problems with my music library on an ipod touch (5th gen, 64gb, iOS7, iTunes 11.1, mac mini).
    The main problem is that I don't ever seem to be able to successfully copy all my music to the ipod.  I'll do the copy and wait for it to finish, but when I later connect the ipod to my pc (sometimes several days later), some of the songs will show up in iTunes as gray, and they won't be visible from the iPod.  I don't know if they were like that from the beginning (i.e. those songs failed to copy oririginally) or if they  disappeared sometime between the copy and when I connected the iPod to the pc.  If anyone has any idea why this problem is happening, I'd love to hear it.
    When this happens, I generally wipe out all the music on the iPod and try to re-copy everything back to it.  I have a "to put on ipod" playlist for this purpose.  But I just noticed that if the playlist has more than 6553 songs on it, I can't copy them all to the iPod.  So 6553 is fine, 6554 won't work.  It doesn't seem to be related to particular songs, as I've tried changing the selected songs -- so any selection of 6553 (or less) is copyable, while any selection of 6554 (or more) is uncopyable.  Is this a known limit?  Is it documented anywhere? (I'm joking -- I realize that this mess of a support forum is the documentation)

    Had one more go re-loading i-tunes & quick time and, hey presto, everythings working fine now.

  • I have iPod shuffle 2nd gen. 1GB, how can I autofill it with more than 70 songs?

    I have iPod shuffle 2nd gen. 1GB, how can I autofill it with more than 70 songs, when I used to be able to get more than l20+ songs?

    Is your shuffle full after the Autofill?  Does the playlist you selected as the source have more than 70 songs?
    My 2nd gen 1GB shuffle currently has 140 songs on it, almost 100% full using Autofill.  The number of songs depends on two factors.  One is the average length of the songs.  Longer songs take more space.  A 20-minute symphony takes more space than a 4-minute pop song.  The other key factor is the bit rate used for compression.
    All of my songs are compressed using the AAC encoder at 256 kbps, which is Apple's current standard and the setting used for downloads from the iTunes Store.  The same songs compressed at 128 kbps AAC takes up half the space.  320 kbps MP3 would use more space per song.  If a lossless format, such as Apple Lossless or AIFF is used to encode, the sound quality is the best possibe, but the file size per song is MUCH higher.
    If you think there is problem on the shuffle, you can try doing a Restore in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings tab.  This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If there is data corruption on the shuffle's storage that is causing this problem, a Restore should fix it.

  • Cant listen to more than one song in a row with ios4

    Ever since i "upgraded" to the new ios4 software i can no longer listen to more than one song in a row without it stopping by itself. if im using apps while playing music it takes me back to the home screen. If someone knows how to fix this that would be nice bc im really frustrated with it and regret getting the software.

    But all of a sudden I cannot get my libraray or any playlist ti play more than one song at a time automatically. It just stops after each song.
    head into your itunes main library window. are all the little boxes to the left of your tracks unchecked?
    is so, hold down Ctrl and click on one of those boxes to recheck all the songs. (this may take a little time.)
    do you get continuous play once all the songs are rechecked?

  • Save an empty document in InDesign CC and Illustrator CC takes more than 3 min.

    Save an empty document in InDesign CC and Illustrator CC takes more than 3 min.
    The same if you open an empty document.
    I monitored the application status using Activity Monitor and every time I saved a document the application didn't respond then, after about three minutes, comes back to life.
    I'm working on a MacBook Pro, 2.6 Ghz, 8 Gb Ram with OS X 10.9.
    Please let me know If someone else had the same issue because I use Adobe softwares not only for my personal job but also to show people how Adobe software works...
    Thanks.

    Adobe Drive is the reason!
    Please communicate this to everybody massively because I think is the reason why many Adobe CC users refer about bad performance.
    I heard many issues related to this and no one talk about this.
    Thanks Hank.

  • I am trying to import songs from a CD but it takes more than 15 minutes per song. What should I check?

    I am trying to import songs from a CD but it takes more than 15 minutes per song. What should I check?

    Do you have error correction turned on?  (iTunes preferences - General - Import settings.)  If so, it will take much longer to copy audio CD's.

    I would be inclined to reinstall your printer drivers, if reinstalling Adobe Reader hasn't resolved it.
    Go to the web site of your printer manufacturer - then click on "Support" or "Downloads" to get the latest drivers.
    One thing you can try as an alternative is print to another printer and see if you still have the same issue - you can then narrow it down to being an Adobe problem or a printer software problem.
    If you don't have another physical printer installed, check to see if you have  a virtual printer like "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" or "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer".
    Both of these 'virtual' printers will print your document as a file that you can view on screen which is good for testing purposes. If you have the same problem with another printer or one of these virtual printers then the problem may be with Adobe Reader.
    What happens when you print other types of documents such as Word documents?

  • Splitting an event takes more than 3 min

    Hi,
    I have about 8.000 photos in my library and 2.500 photos in a single event. Now I want to extract a set of pictures from this event and move it in a new event. Is there a faster way doing this than splitting the event before and after the set of pictures? This created 3 events and then I have to move the 3rd event back into the first, the 2nd event is what I want to keep.
    BTW, with over 8.000 pictures in the library, is it normal that splitting an event takes more than 3 minutes?

    Danielle
    Flag the pics you want to move to the new Event and the go Events -> Create Event from Flagged Photos. That will probably be faster.
    BTW, with over 8.000 pictures in the library, is it normal that splitting an event takes more than 3 minutes?
    I wouldn't have thought so, but it might take a while with an Event that has more that 2,500 pics in it. Remember, Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents). So splitting an event literally means creating a folder and moving files to it and so on.
