IPod Nano fills up too fast

I have loaded about 1G of songs (300 or so songs)on my new iPod Nano 4G and it says I only have 300k memory left. Does anyone know how this happens and how to correct it?
Thanks.
Jared

Jared,
Are you sure that the music (and album art?) is really only 1GB? Using Apple Lossless, e.g., will result in larger files.
Anyway, you can restore the iPod to it's original state using the updater (on the iPod CD)...

5G iPod Nano playing podcasts too fast

My iPod nano has started playing podcasts at a faster than normal rate, while the time elapsed bar at the bottom (I do not know the proper term for this) progresses in normal time. My music plays normally. What is causing this, and is there a way to fix it?

Not exactly sure, but click your ipod on the itunes sidebar and go to the first tab. Uncheck the checkbox that says "Convert higher bit rate song to _______ AAC". See if that helps. If not, on your ipod go to Main Menu > Videos and look for a settings screen.

Nano plays podcasts too fast

my nano plays podcasts too fast as if they're speeded up. Is there a sync setting that will fix this?

thanks. that was easy!

I am from Germany. I have a Question to the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program: Can I upgrade to Ipod touch 8GB? The new Ipod nano Generation is too smal for my hands

Hello! Not a problem, because you will get a Ipod Nano 1st generation as a replacement, not a new / latest generation.

Ipod Nano (1st gen) too loud!

I cannot seem to set the volume of my nano to a LOWER volume setting - it is always too LOUD! It has all the updates. Can anyone help? Thanks

Thank you both for your great answers. I tried both your suggestions. They seem to work for some of the items, but not all - very weird.

IPod Touch battery draining too fast?

Recently, the battery life on my iPod touch has been draining too fast. Before I synced my iPod into my new laptop with a new iTunes, my battery life was very long, as I could go on for weeks before it was below 20%. Now, I can go from 100% down to 10% in under a minute.
Even if I charge overnight or have 100%, any time my iPod is unlocked, the battery drains fast. I've done several methods to try and solve the problem, such as deleting apps, lowering brightness, turn off background apps, and even bought the battery life app (which I've had before but it seems to do nothing now). Whether I use the camera, play a game, or surf the internet, the battery bar will go down really fast. Sometimes I'll have half of battery life left and all of a sudden, my iPod turns off because it instantly went frm 50% to 0%. Even harmless actions such as the clock or just staying on the home screen will drain more battery than it usually does. The music app seems to be the only one that can last longer than an hour, but even then, just leaving it in the background will deplete the battery faster than usual, as opposed to it being in the background for hours and not taking away any percentage.
My iPod still recharges normally (and quickly), and for some reason if I lock my iPod while it has a low percentage, when I unlock it again, a lot of battery is regained... and then lost almost immediately.
I'm not sure if this has to do anything with me syncing to a new iTunes. I'm still under the same username and whatnot, and all I did was use home sharing to import all of my music from the old computer to the new one, so I wouldn't have to constantly go to my old computer to sync with my iPod.
I currently use a 4th generation iPod touch with 8GB.
I'm just wondering, what can I do to solve this issue, to return it to how it was before? As of now, I can't afford to replace the iPod, and I'm willing to send my iPod for repair as a last resort.
Thanks.

However, I suspect that your battery is just dying/wearingout. That happens with age and use.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. You can purchase a replacment for about $15

Ipod nano scratches way too easy

I bought my black 4gig nano this past Saturday and I'm really disappointed with the fact that it already has so many scratches all over it. I've kept it in a very soft sunglasses cloth/bag and still it scratches. At this rate in two weeks it will look like a two year old ipod. I'm just unhappy that it is so delicate. I don't even want to put it in a bag or my pocket and that just defeats the purpose of having the thing. This is my 4th ipod and I have to say even though it works great, for the price I paid, $359 here in Australia, I would expect the exterior to last a bit longer than 4 days.
What do you guys think?
Alex

So how did you get the scratch across the screen?
Something must have come into contact with the iPod to cause it, it did not magically appear.
If the same event had happened to an iPod mini or regular iPod how do you know that they too would not have the same marks?
All iPod and similar electronic equipment are prone to cosmetic damage, it happens, but it is always caused by how it is used. At some point you have allowed something to scrape across the face of your iPod, I don't know what it was, but it happened.
All these people who complain about scratches could just be not very good at looking after things, they may think they are being careful, but these things don't happen on their own.
I have a black iPod nano and I have used it for nearly a week, it has no marks at all, butI'm sure it will do soon, when I accidentally bump it or drop it or do something that causes a mark, it will be my fault.
It's true the nano is not as tough as the mini, but it would not be the product it is if it was made from the same materials as the mini. Apple could not get the nano in such a small package if they used aluminium, and it would not look as good as it does.

IPod Nano buttons break too easily

I got my iPod nano in february/2012. January/2013 the home button broke down. It doesn't work at all. So, if I want to turn my ipod on, to work on it and start playing songs, I have to plug it, so it turns on.
This is annoying enough, but I got used to it. I actually tried to go to an Apple store to fix it, but I went on march/2013, one month later than its guarantee expired. Great coinscidence, it broke down exactly when the guarantee was off. Well, bad luck I had!
I kept using it, and in November/2013, the "volume up" button broke. Now its over, cant use my ipod at all!
These two buttons broke because of usage, and thats all. My ipod didn't fall to the floor or anything, it was because I pressed them, and they broke. Its ridiculous. I always had this image of apple having products that last for a long time. But this time, my ipod was good for only 20 months, and thats it, its dead now.
Congratulations, Apple, for having such a bad product. From now on, Im gonna think twice before buying anything from you.

It uses flash memory, not an HD.
was told if you drop it it could break it easily
Yes, you can break it easily. It is an electronic device.

External Drive Filling Up Too Fast

Hi all,
The space on my external hard drive seems to be filling up way faster than it should. Although I've hardly added any docs, etc to my internal iMac drive in the past week (used about 50 G of my 320G drive), the free space on my external USB drive has dwindled from ~20G to a little over 4G.
I thought that Time Machine only backed up the changed files during each archive. What's going on? Why am I running out of external HD space so quickly?
Thanks for your responses.

I'm with Maggot. I have not been using iphoto at all, don't use entourage at all. Just started using Time Machine the first of January with a brand new 500g ext hd for the back up. As of today it has used up over 1/2 that space in backups. I am a photographer, and do use hi res images, but the number of images that should be stored right now should not take up that much space - and that would be the bulk of my work that would eat up space. When I look back in Time Machine, it looks to me that there is a complete backup of everything over and over again.
So, looks to me that I have a real mess to figure out now. I had thought that only the new files would be backed up NOT the older files, but that's not what I'm seeing. Yuck. I haven't got a clue now as to what to do to get this set up properly. HELP!

IPod 60gb storage question - filling up too fast?

I have a new 60GB that I just began adding music to. I am confused about the amount of storage I have available. So far (according to the iTunes notes) I have added 93 songs/6.2 hours/427.6mb, using 17.19GB out of 60GB. I am importing using the AAC encoder at 128kbps.
Am I missing something here? I thought the 60GB could hold around 15,000 songs. At this rate, I will fill up the iPod before I hit 1000 songs. I do not have anything else (pics/videos), just music.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am (quite obviously) new to this and can't figure out where I have messed up.
Thank you!

I was able to answer my own question here...I had just switched some USB cables around, so when I did my normal back-up to my external hard-drive, it ended up backing up to my iPod. Phew! I am embarrassed, but at least it was an easy fix.

IPOD Nano Shuts Down When Fast-Forwarding Through Songs

I am having an odd but unfortunately repeated problem: I have my iPOD set on "shuffle songs" which shuffles my entire library. Sometimes when fast-forwarding from one song to the next, the screen goes black and the Apple logo comes on. The iPOD restarts fine though. I would appreciate any insight you might have...not sure if I should call Apple or if its something thats known as a nano quirk.
Thanks!

Hi wackydream!
This has happened to me before, too, (quite rarely, though. Once, maybe twice).
It would just be an out-of-the-blue kind of thing that never returned.
But with your kind of issue, you could first try resetting your iPod, and see if that makes any difference with the issue:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (make sure to leave it on the white side of the switch).
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
If several attempts at resetting don't help, then I would suggest that you try restoring your iPod in iTunes.

Ipod Nano using up too much memory

I plugged my friend's "Brand new" Nano into my Mac and it says that it is currently using 588 MB. The problem is there are no songs or pictures on it! So I guess my question is what could possibly be occupying the 588 MB? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No idea - but did you try to run the current iPod updater to restore it to factory conditions?

Time machine_ filling up too fast! Mac Os X Version 10.6.8

time machine_ can I get it to just back up 1 area of my computer and not the entire network? I did not originally set this thing up and know nothing about it but I find that it fills up very quickly (1TB) and then starts dumping the earliest stuff. In reality I only want one area of my computer backed up and not the entire network and I think that that is why it is filling up so quickly. very frustrating to loose stuff that I originally wanted to keep.
any suggestions?
thanks

How much data is on your internal HD?
Time Machine won't back up anything on your network, and will back up external HDs only if you remove them from the exclusion list.
If possible, it's best to let Time Machine back up everything (unless you also have a "clone" backup), as it will be rather difficult to reconstruct things when (not if) your internal HD fails and loses everything.
