IPod nano problems - no space available

I was having problems updating my iPod, now the itunes gives me the message that I have no space left on my iPod when the iPod has no songs on it. I checked the settings on my iPod and it says there is like 100 kb available from 2gb. But I have nothing on the iPod. Anyone ever have this problem?
Thanks

what happens when u put a song on it? or anything that will fit?

  • IPod Nano Problem with Turning On

    Right I've got a bit of a problem with turning on the nano. I know it works because when its on it's fine, but if its off for a while (i.e. 30 mins or more) and I go to press play or whatever, nothing happens. But if I press any of the buttons about 100 times it will come on and work fine.
    Has anyone had this problem and know if there's anything I can do about it. It seems like the buttons don't work properly, but it can't be that because they work when its on.
    Here's what I know it's not:
    Battery (its full)
    In need of a restore (tried that)
    Reset (tried that)
    In need of new software (just put the latest on)
    So any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.
    Oh also, completely off subject just trying to kill 2 birds with one stone, how do you do backwards deletes on a mac (i.e. what the 'del' button does on a PC)?

    AliasailA, you are kidding, right??
    You cannot use someone else's serial number or Apple Care Plan--it doesn't work that way.
    I noticed you had another post that said the mini was given to you and has a "sad face icon" and out of warranty. Hummmm.
    You really have to send that mini in for repair/replacement or consider it a lost cause. Maybe it is time to buy an iPod Nano for yourself.

  • 2GB Nano never changes space Available from 1.7GB?

    Wow, there's lots of posts similar to this. No one has posted how to resolve it though.
    Any idea?
    Doesn't matter how many songs, it always shows 1.7GB Available (of the 1.8GB Capacity).
    Thanks.

    Current iTunes, version of 1.0.
    No, that is not correct. You don’ thave version 1.0 of iTunes.
    Possibly you do have iPod version 1.0.
    Plus, I'm not sure I like the "volume limiter".
    Then don‘t use it. You don‘t have to turn it on.
    iPod Updater 2006-03-23 delivers the following software:
    Features of iPod Software 1.1.1 for iPod and iPod Software 1.1.1 for iPod nano:

  • Several iPod nano problems

    i got my ipod nano yesterday but i'm already having problems.
    as soon as i downloaded itunes it put all songs i had on my computer onto my ipod. no big deal. then i started importing some of my cds onto itunes and then onto my ipod. again no big deal. then i went ahead and bought three songs off of itunes and put those onto my ipod. then why the ipod was still hooked up to the computer i tried to listen to one of the songs i bought. it played for 21 seconds and then it went onto the next song. and that next song played out just fine. so i went to a song that had come off of one of my cds and it played until 1:21 and then went to the next song. and most other songs would cut off at various times whether the ipod was plugged or unplugged from the computer.
    so frustrated i google ipod help and come upon the 5 r's that apple has set up. i reset my ipod. nothing changed. i restarted my computer. nothing changed. and i downloaded the updater and restored my ipod. so after i restored my ipod, i put all my songs back onto my ipod. and now none of the songs will play. i press music and artists or whatever and it shows the song as if it's going to play but it doesnt and it goes to the next song and shows as if its going to play and it doesnt.
    can anyone please help me?

    janey, my sympathies. I have had a few minis, a shuffle, and now a nano, and at various times each of them has gone nuts on me for no apparent reason. With a history of four machines, and three different computers (I am now using a brand new dell xps 200) I can't seem to get these guys to work correctly for very long. They are design marvels, but otherwise, from my vantage point, they stink. Call apple and they will replace it, and qwickly. Once they are bad, they stay bad.

  • New iPod nano -problem when sharing account with old ipod

    my ipod nano disappears from itunes, yet is still connected, so I'm unable to import music. Anything I do import goes to the shared account. I can't update my nano and it's all very disappointing. what can I do?

    Go through the Apple troubleshooting steps and see if that solves the problem. Find those here:

    Also, try charging it over night. Keep in mind that your computer has to be on for the iPod to charge while connected to the USB connection.

  • 1Gb iPod nano problem

    Hi all,
    I am new to this forum. I am having trouble with my iPod Nano 1Gb. The battery
    was still plenty strong when the iPod went off. No sound. When I try to start it again I get a folder icon with an exclamation point on top of it and the URL apple.com/support/ipod underneath. I tried hooking it up to my iBook and got a message that reads 'you have connected a volume that the macintosh doesn't recognize' and it gives me the option to 'ignore'or 'initialize'. Does anyone out there have any input on this dilemma? You can email me directly at [email protected]
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    It's possible your nano got corrupted.
    You can try the 5rs http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ Typically you'll be able to solve your problem.
    However, I think simply initializing your nano will solve the problem. However, it will erase all the data on the nano, so it's not advisable if you have songs you don't want to lose.

  • Ipod Nano, Out of Space Synching, doesn't seem to allow for selective synch

    Hi. A very specific question here. My iTunes synch of an 8GB Ipod NANO indicates that "there is not enough space for the new content" (I had just imported many CD's to the Itunes library). Itunes suggests using selective synchronization. Howeveer, even after selecting a reduced subset, it appears that the "unselected" items are not deleted from the ipod (thus, no space savings). Is there a trick to this (e.g. do I need to reload the ipod from scratch?, make some change in the library in itunes, etc.)? Very strange, as I see many posts here about similar issues, but no real match to this case. Any help to offer? Thank you!

    Make sure you are using automatic (not manual) syncing. Then when you sync, the iPod will be updated to match the items you have selected in the Music tab for that device.

  • ITunes/iPod Nano Problem?

    I recently purchased a refurbished iPod Nano 4th generation from GameStop. When I went to sync the iPod with iTunes, it proceeds to tell me that it is installing "Natrual Voice Text to Speech Reader Standard". After a moment, it shows this -
    When I click "Cancel", it proceeds to show the same thing all over again.I have to end the task in Windows Task Manager to get the box to go away, and this closes iTunes with it. iTunes still works when the box is present, but the iPod is not recognized in iTunes.
    Thinking this could be a virus, I ran antivirus scans on the computer and the iPod. Nothing showed up.
    At this point, what should I do?

  • IPod nano Problem with Nike+iPod

    Yesterday, I just got a new 3G Black iPod nano 8 GB. Sooner today, while looking its features, I found out about Nike+iPod application. Since this is my first iPod, I had no idea what it was. It was asking for the receiver to be connected. I thought that the receiver was actually the USB Charger, so I inserted it. Now it's stuck on the screen asking for the receiver to be attached. I pressed any button I could and tried everything as well. Nothing happened.
    What should I do? I suppose that when it is discharched, it will be able to work again, but since it's not playing music, I suppose that the battery will last for pretty much time...
    HELP!
    Edit: Excuse me, wrong category...
    Message was edited by: Ash/AP

    You will need to reset your Nano by holding down the center and menu buttons until the Apple appears on the screen.
    The Nike+ Sport kit is a device that attaches to the dock connector of your iPod and has a transmitter that goes in your shoe. Without that, the menu function on the Nano doesn't do much.

  • Ipod nano problems

    OK, I just purchased 3 ipod nano's. One for myself, one for my son, and one for my friend's daughter. I somehow have connected both mine and my friend's daughter's to my itunes which is no good because she will need to use her's on her own itunes. How do I get her ipod off of my itunes so she can set up her own itunes on her own computer?
    Also how do I remove songs from her nano??

  • Impossible Ipod Nano problems:1-syncing issues, 2-iTunes won't work at all

    My ipod nano started with saying my playlists cannot be synced due to the fact that "no playlists exist"...when they are all obviously there in iTunes.
    Then I uninstalled QuickTime & iTunes...then reinstalled them... my ipod would only recognize the Jessica's Ipod Selection playlist.
    Then I deleted that, like before when I made my other playlists, in the hope that my other playlists would work
    Then it was saying the thing about how my playlists won't sync because they don't exist..again.
    Then I reinstalled itunes, + quicktime again..then installed them. Now it is saying "The File "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".
    Please, can someone help me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jess

    There are two programs that might budge it one is the Windows cleanup program (be sure you get the one for 64 bit operating systems if that's what you're running :
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2265732&tstart=0
    Or there's this one which I've also found useful but 32 bit XP only : http://www.revouninstaller.com/
    You'd be doing the forced uninstall which specifically to get program left overs.
    For a free 30 day trial there's also this but I haven't tested it as I have the first two : http://download.cnet.com/Total-Uninstall/3010-2096_4-11117407.html?tag=mncol

  • Is the ipod nano 7th generation currently available for purchase?

    Hello!
    I was recently reading some reviews online and read that Apple has launched it's 7th generation of it's ipod nano; however, when I do a search for it to purchase all I get is the 6th generation nano. Has Apple launched it's 7th generation nano yet? If so, where can I buy one?

    I've heard that the new iPod Nano has a new camera>http://news.softpedia.com/news/New-Camera-Equipped-iPod-nano-7G-Photos-Emerge-25 0081.shtml
    But thats ridiculous, isnt it? Even its gonna have a camera, they would dril holes on the backside of the ipods throught the clip and that is wasting of aluminium too. It's also useless, because the size of the iPod is too small and it looks stupid.
    If you really wanna make pictures and shoot videos on an iPod then i recommend the iPod Touch or search on the web for an iPod Nano 5G
    Everything in this reply is my opinion.

  • Ipod Nano problem - always restoring itself

    Can anyone please help me? I bought my ipod just under a year ago (2nd Nov) but Apple says its out of warranty.
    1st gen ipod nano 4gb, windows XP Pro, itunes (v7.0.1.8) and ipod (v1.3)
    When i connect it to iTunes, and transfer music to it, if switches itself off and says 'file cannot be found' or something like that. then when it reconnects to itunes, it has just lost all the music i transfered to it! This has happened about 6 times in the last few weeks.
    I have tried all of the following:
    reinstall itunes
    new usb lead
    restore ipod
    update ipod and itunes
    reboot PC
    reboot ipod
    cry lots lol
    I am going to be so gutted if my ipod is broken, and I cant work out what else to do.
    Please someone help me - also if i have receipt for purchase of ipod, will apple believe it is still in warranty?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    What kind of noise are you getting? If the sounds were a clicking kind of sound:
    When clicking and selecting something while on your iPod, it is natural that it sometimes makes some clicking sounds, as it is accessing the hard drive, so it can play a song, for example.
    If the clicking sounds seem to be especially rythemic, that isn't good.
    The first thing to do is reset your iPod.
    Also, see this link; the Five R's may be worth a try:
    The Five R's
    If you could describe the noise for us, that would be good.
    I hope this helps.

    If you no longer have your original PC and you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation:
