Ipod shows different available size...

then itunes does when my ipod is connected. I have the 60gb video, which after formatting is 55.6gb available for music/movies/photos and whatnot. Now the other day, I was getting some music from my friend and was using his cord. I moved the ipod while it was connected and all of a sudden it disconnected. I checked to see if all my music was still there, but it wasn't. It erased everything. I finished loading up the music from his computer and went and hooked it up to my computer. The ipod and itunes said that the available space was the same, and there was no problem getting my computer to recognize the ipod. Then last night, i hooked it up and it would flicker between connected to the computer and not. it would barely recognize it unless i held it a certain way. the cable shouldn't be bad because i just bought the ipod last week. thats also when i noticed that itunes showed 1800 songs and only 46 gb of available space. i ejected the ipod to check and see what the ipod said it had available. it showed 1800 songs and 52.6 gb of available space. what should i do? restore it and reload all my songs on it? the ipod version is 1.1.1 and i'm not sure what version of itunes i have. Any help is appreciated.

I have the 60gb video, which after formatting is 55.6gb
This is correct.
I was getting some music from my friend
Please don't STEAL music.
what should i do? restore it and reload all my songs on it?
Yes.
Restore will fix most problems related to disk space used.

  • IPod nano - Incorrect Available Size

    My nano always report 1.8GB "Available" size no matter there is no or full with songs. iTunes can report the correct available space.
    I have reset the nano, press the menu and select button, which didn't help.
    Anyone meet similar problem? Can anyone help? Please and thanks in advance.

  • Why do copied files show different file sizes than the original files?

    When I copy files (to another drive, folder, etc.) some show the same file size as the original, but others don't.
    I'm guessing this is not abnormal, but what causes it?
    Thanks.

    Hi dymar,
    Copying to another Drive is understandable, they may have a differentnumber of Blocks allocated per file, for insnce a one Byte file might take up 512 bytes, 1024 Bytes, etc, but a Get info should show the actual size of the file within that/those blocks.
    If copying to another Format, like MS-DOS, Forks may be lost also.
    There are ways to actually Compare the files...

    Hello,
    DRAM Flash & Bootflash are different memories.
    DRAM Flash is used to hold CatOS Or IOS
    Bootflash is used to hold the System images which is used for booting.
    When you start the Router/Switch first the Lower version IOS (Bootstrap version) is loaded from Bootflash (also known as ROM or Onboard Flash)
    With the help of this image the IOS (which is in DRAM Flash)is loaded.
    You can see both the IOS by giving the following command
    Router#sh version
    Follow this for more information

  • Disk Utility shows different available space than Finder?

    I just reinstalled Lion from a fresh harddrive. I did not use the migration asistance to pull files over to the new drive, I selested files and dragged them over, So not to fill the drive with things I dont need....
    So I "Get info" on the main harddrive it shows
    Which is crazy! Then I use Disk Invintory and it shows:
    and Disk Untility shows:
    Why the difference? Simple question and How do I free up space?
    I'm also trying to back up using time capsule*

    Well, I'm seeing the same thing so before I post yet another note to this group and get no response, I'll at least throw in my .02 cents here as well.  Not sure you've found the solution but I've recently started seeing the same thing.
    If you use Time Machine, most likely, the difference is your Local Snapshots.  Those are kept on the OSX drive on laptops, so you can have access to them when your normal external backups aren't available.
    They'll be deleted automatically if your disk gets over 80% full, so aren't shown by the Finder, so you won't worry about the space they take up.  Plus, they're "thinned" to one per day after 24 hours, then deleted after a week.
    So they really don't cause a problem, other than showing the different amounts.
    See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #30 for the gory details.
    If that doesn't fully explain the space problem, see Where did my Disk Space go?
    To top this off, what else I'm finding is that there are a number of anomalies I'm encountering that seem mysterious such as Mail no longer functioning correctly, apps crashing, computer restarts randomly.
    It all started back in April when my HD crashed and I had to have Apple replace it.  Since then, I've gone through 3 "Logic Boards" and even had Apple do further tests but cannot find anything else wrong with it.  I'm really struggling with this one!
    Sounds like you may have other problems, too.   
    If Apple has replaced 3 logic boards, but the problem persists, you may want to call AppleCare and ask for Customer Relations.  They may not want to transfer you, but insist on it (politely, of course, but firmly).  Have all the dates and details handy for them.  Ask them to either get it fixed, or replaced.

  • ITunes and iPod show different song counts... not all songs sync

    Hi,
    I've been having this problem for many many years.
    I have more than 18,000 songs now, and the song count in iTunes is always 5 higher than on the iPod.  I have my iPod set to sync the entire library.  All songs in the library are checked for sync as well.  I get no error message during sync that something might be missing, incompatible, or corrupt  When I look at iPod music in iTunes it has the wrong count as well.
    Every time a new version of iTunes comes out, I send feedback to Apple regarding this issue.  As expected, Apple ignores their feedback, and from what I can tell they ignore the community forums as well, and they have yet to address the issue in any way, or even contact me about it.
    I'd like to find which songs are bad and remove/delete them from my library and collection or fix them.  Is there a sync log hidden somewhere that I can check to see which songs will or won't sync?  Why doesn't iTunes tell us whether or not it expects a song to sync or if it's iPod compatible?  Why does it say less songs will sync without giving a reason why?
    I've heard that iPods don't sync duplicate files, but I've looked at my duplicates.. At some point, Apple screwed that up too, it shows songs that are from different compilations as duplicates now, instead of looking at the data proper to determine if it's a duplicate, it seems to just look at the Artist and Song Title and even that doesn't seem to be correct because I have more duplicate song titles listed and in some cases it lists songs from two different artists as being duplicates.  I have many more duplicates listed in itunes than the discrepancy in the song count would suggest... 3,835 more songs to be exact.
    I've tried to select only checked songs and get the same results.  I've tried to restore the iPod and I get the same results.  I've tried clearing the library completely and reloading all songs and I still get the same results.  I've scanned through the library and all songs appear to have compatible settings.   All my songs are either mp3 or m4a(aac) formats.  I don't use playlists at all. 
    If anyone knows of a solution, please let me know.  I don't want to have to check every single file.
    Thanks!

    So that you know, for the future, Apple makes it very clear (specifically so, when you submit Feedback) that they do not respond to the feedback directly. They do however, read the feedback and consider suggestions for improvements to iPods. They also look for - and act upon - bug reports etc. That's what the Feedback is for.
    They also make it clear that they do not monitor or respond to these discussions. (That said, Apple employees are free to - and do look at - some of the posts and have been known to contact posters directly when looking for further information regarding bugs.)
    As you have now found, this community (as Apple now prefers to call it) can often help sort out your problems, espcecially when skilled users such as tt2 (aka Steve) are let loose!

  • ITunes and iPod show different number of songs for same playlist

    Alright Apple.
    I have been having this problem EVERY time I add new songs to my playlist. My songs sync up, as it shows up in my entire music library, but the playlist is missing songs all of a sudden. Somehow I am able to get out of it sometimes, but I don't know how. I've Googled every thing and I have tried every "IT support" trick in the book including rebooting the ipod and my computer, unplugging and replugging, resyncing, unsyncing and resyncing, and making sure the song is checked, and making sure that music is set to sync in the iPod settings in iTunes. Here's what it looks like:
    I have 367 songs in this playlist, but on the iPod, it only shows 360. I can't get it out of this state right now.
    I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation with iOS 5.1.1.
    The PC I'm syncing with is Windows 7 with SP1
    iTunes 10.6.1.7.
    It's an ASUS UL30Vt
    I also have an iPod Touch 2nd Generation that I was planning to sell, but it doesn't have this problem.

    How many music videos do you have? When I first got my iPod I had this same problem and it turned out that the music videos showed up under the music tab. When I'd check the music count on my iPod it was less by exactly the number of music videos I had. The music videos on the iPod were in the Video section.

  • Fully synced iTunes and iPod show different quantity of songs

    Here's an odd little one that I hope somebody may be able to help with. iTunes and my 80Gb iPod Classic are fully synced (I've just synced them again to be sure), but while the Music tab on iTunes is showing that I have 2766 songs, on the iPod it only shows that 2740 are there.
    I'm wondering where the other 26 songs are on the iPod, when both are fully synced. I must admit I haven't gone through every single song on both of them to try and find where the 'missing' 26 are.
    Can anyone tell me if this is a known issue of the iPod counter simply being wrong? Or are there really 26 songs whach have, for some unknown reason, not synced to my iPod?

  • Finder showing terrible available size

    First the computer ran out of disk space on a 500 GB MacBook Pro.  Searching the harddrive, I discovered 250 gigabytes worth of Apple log files.  I deleted them.  The available disk space did not change.
    I then rebooted the computer off a Lion Boot disk (yes you can make one) and ran Disk Utility, it found errors on the drive with the deleted file record and cleaned them.
    Now when I start up, Lion reports "830 GB available" in the status bar!  330 more than the capicity of the harddrive!  Any tips to fixing this?  I've tried running disk/permissions repair in Disk Utility, but no change.  Also tried copying/deleting/moving files in the hopes that would correct the issue.  No change.

    Turn off Time Machine in its preference pane. Wait a few seconds, then turn it back on. You may need to relaunch the Finder or log out to see the effect.

  • Folder problems on external drive, not showing correct file size

    I've run across a strange problem. I'm media managing for a tv show, meaning I'm offloading video from CF cards onto 2 external drives, one is a Drobo Raid (set up for backup) and another is a Lacie rugged drive. After copying the media to both drives, the folder I copy will match, but sometimes as I drill upward in my folder structure, suddenly the file sizes will not match. To be more clear: 2 folders will show differing file sizes, but inside that folder is only another folder,nothing else, which matches across the drives. I've shown all files in finder and there's no hidden files, though sometimes I see the ds_store files are different sizes (8k vs 16k), but that's not always the case. Sometimes if I simply create a new folder and move it's contents into it I can get the folders to match, but sometimes that doesn't work. It's part of my workflow to show that these copies match exactly via screenshots, and although the most important folder (the direct folder holding the footage) always matches, these folder problems are super frustrating as it's not constant, and any workarounds also work inconsistantly.
    I had an accidental disconnect of the Drobo one time, and although none of the data seems to have any problem, I fear it's done something to the directory. The rugged drive is swapped out every few days and the problem seems to be on the Drobo. Because the nature of the data is pretty important, I'm afraid to just try messing around with repairing or other software solutions unless I know it's super safe and won't harm the data.
    I'm at a loss as to what's causing it and at the very least how to avoid it cropping up. Any help or insight would be appreciated!

    I had the same problem with my iMac, first I repaired the disk, then I ejected the disk, restarted, and then reinserted the USB in a different port.  All of my files magically showed up.  I don't know what caused the error but it has been working fine since. 

  • Ability to display data in Different Page Sizes in a Single RTF

    We have a requirement to show different page sizes in a Single RTF file .
    Please let me know you have worked on such a functionality as part of earlier assignments.
    Requirement Detail:
    We have 2 templates (One Legal (8.5*14) and One Statement ( 5.5*8.5)) as part of the same report in 2 different pages.
    Conditionally we need to show xml data in either the Statement or the Legal Format .
    Issues Currently faced:
    1.     When the Statement is chosen as a user parameter: (Attachment : ReportoutputforStatement.pdf)
    -     The data is super-imposed on the Legal layout instead of showing it on the Statement layout . Hence the page dimensions are not as expected in the report.
    -     There is a extra last page in the report which is blank with the Statement Layout.
    2.     When the Legal option is chosen as a user parameter: (Attachment : ReportoutputforLegal.pdf)
    -     The Data is appropriately shown on the legal layout
    -     There is a extra last page in the report which is blank with the Statement Layout.
    Regards:
    Nagaraj.s

    Have you tried creating two subtemplates and conditionally calling them based on the parameter chosen?
    If I understand correctly,currently you have a single RTF template (2 pages) that includes the two different layouts..
    Thanks,

  • Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?
