IPod mini shows up as having 328.9 GB capacity in updater and iTunes

I have a 6 GB mini, and I have updated to the new iTunes since I last used it. So when I connnected it, it showed up as "Data" instead of my iPod name, and iTunes claimed it didn't have any songs on it even though it did. I got the 1.4.1 updater (2006-01-10) and it said it needed update but it only offered a restore option. I went ahead and restored, but when it came back it still said 328.9 GB, both in the updater and in iTunes. So I formated from the control panel, and it correctly read 5.67 GB free. Back to updater, it still reads 328.9. It seems to work, but it worries me that the disk size reads wrong. It claims in iTunes to have used 89.6 GB with 2hundred whatever free. No, I'm not looking at my hard drive, this is the iPod.

Never mind, mystery solved. I had a windows network drive assigned as drive J:, which is the drive my iPod decided to be. So the two conflicted, and iTunes was writing to the network drive.

    I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode, however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again? I have updated and restored 5 times! When connected to itunes it only shows the summary page saying ipod in recovery mode.

    Fixed it!
    1. Made sure itunes software was up to date
    2. Pressed and held 'home' button and 'on-off' button at the same time for about 10 seconds till ipod reset (I hadn't done this step previously)
    3. Connected to itunes
    4. Pressed restore and update ipod
    Update successful and ipod taken out of recovery mode

  • IPod mini shows up as corrupted in iTunes but works on another PC

    I know this is a long shot, but I'm having some issues with my iPod mini and am hoping someone here has heard of this before. When I tried to sync my mini up with iTunes v7 I got a message saying that my iPod was corrupted and that I should restore it. I did this and it didn't correct the problem. After trying several different fixes that I found on the support page I gave up and purchased a new iPod nano. When I connected the nano I got the same error. Upon further investigation I discovered that my mini and the nano work perfectly fine with iTunes on every other computer that I've tried. I turned to a friend for help and we discovered that my computer isn't recognizing that my mini is formatted - it's showing the system file as RAW instead of FAT32. When I connect it to another PC it shows the correct formatting. I've tried everything that I can think of and still can't figure out the issue. If anyone has had this type of problem and knows how to fix it I would be very grateful for your help!

    hmmmmmm. by any chance do you have a digital camera?
    i'm thinking it's plausible here that you could be getting a Windows drive letter confusion on the PC, where the PC is thinking that your ipods are a camera (or some other device with onboard memory storage).
    that's actually also consistent with relentlessly getting some messages telling you to restore the ipod (even though the ipod is showing up as perfectly fine on the PC).
    working on that theory, let's see if these documents are of any help:
    "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore"
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • My Ipod mini shows "locked" on the ITunes screen

    When connecting my Ipod mini to the computer I see in ITunes a " locked" sign.
    I can only add new music (still some disk space on Ipod); it does not delete old songs that I have deleted in ITunes.
    My Ipod mini is not set to act as external hard disk

    Do you have your ipod on automatic update or manual update? If it's on automatic update you can't delete songs and there will be a lock symbol down at the bottom of the screen next to where it tells you how much space you have left.

  • IPod mini doesn't connect in Windows after doing an Update

    Please help!
    I promised to put some music om my friend's iPod (1st generation) from my computer. When I connected it with my computer, i first did a new update. After that the problems began!! After completing the update the ipod showed a picure of an adapter, so i connected the iPod (2 days ago) to the adapter. But now, after reading of the internet about updating a 1st generation iPod, the logo still shows on the screen!! When i disconnect the iPod, it doesn't respond on anything but a reset, but when i reset it, i still get the picture of an adapter on the screen!!
    I've tried all the 'solutions' that are written on the Apple website, but they didn't help. And i still can't RESTORE the iPod, because my computer doesn't recognize the iPod anymore AT ALL!!
    My own iPod (2e generation) still works on Windows and is recognized everytime, but after the update my friend's iPod just doesn't get recognized on my computer!!
    Can somebody please help me to get a solution for this problem?!

  • Ipod Mini starts to sync then stops after a few songs and doesn't sync

    It has been about a year since I synced my iPod mini (Generation One) with my G3 PowerBook Pismo. I have been using it with no problems but I wanted to ad new songs. I went to sync it and it wanted to update. I am on the latest iTunes. After the iPod updated it would start to sync get to song 7 and just stop syncing. I have to pull the iPod off and there is nothing on it. I have restored the iPod Mini several time. I even tried going back to the orginal disk. Nothing helps. I tried to repair disk permissions in Disk Utilities and that gets about half way through then has an error. I have to quit this operation and can't repair the permissions. Could these be related. I am not a mac doof but I feel like one.
    Thanks for any help!!!

    Try taking it into an Apple store, it sounds like a HD problem, or something. If you've tried to restore it, and that hasn't worked, taking it in is probably your best bet.

    Hey,
    So you plug it into the computer with itunes open and nothing happens?
    Make sure your iTunes is upto date and try again.

  • IPod is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes.

    iPod touch is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes... any ideas how to fix? Tried resyncing, didn't work.

    I'm fishing slightly but you may have casing inconsistenices in artist or album names that cause the iOS firmware to see more than one instance of the album but with each getting all the tracks. Merging stuff in iTunes via sort fields may also have unintended consequenses on the device. Could you post back a screenshot or decribe the symptoms more fully, ie. exactly which menu screen you are in on the iPod, what is repeated etc. The songs menu for example can correctly list more than one copy of a song if it appears on different albums.

  • I have connected to the wi-fi with my ipod touch but it wotn let me browse safari,app store and itunes

    i have connected to the wi-fi with my ipod touch but it wotn let me browse safari,app store and itunes

    Sounds like it might be something more to do with your network rarther that the iPod its self.
    Try reseting the iPod networking connections by going to:
    Settings > Genreal > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    After this you will need to re-join your wireless network agian
    If this doesent work you could try reseting your wireless router/modem
