Ipod touch over capacity

I recently got a new windows 7 hp desktop. I transfered all of my music via external hard drive, and transfered my apps via itunes transfer purchases. I have not synced my ipods' photos yet. When I click sync, it goes through step one and two, then I get a message from itunes telling me my ipod doesn't have enough free space to sync (additional 17.24 GB needed) which is also the amount of music I have on my ipod (17.3 GB). In the lower bar it says I have 3.3 GB remaining. I have restarted my ipod and computer many times over the past week and it still doesnt work. I would like to be able to sync this without having to restore so i can keep my settings and photos ( I dont have a backup on my computer because I havent synced yet). any suggestions? also iTunes is updated to the latest version.

the same has happened to me, but i think it is because it uses up memory on your iPod when it is syncing therefore iTunes updates itself during the sync and says that you have overused or used up all of the memory on the device,
i hope this helps!

Not really
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

I want to create a new apple account and switch my iPod Touch over to it. How can i do this without erasing all of the data?

I have an iPod Touch (4th generation) and found i would like to switch it over to a new apple account. Is there anyway for this to happen without deleting any data?

Yes, just go to Settings>App and iTunes store and sign out of existing ID and sing into the other.
The Apple ID is also used in:
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>iCloud
- Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Syncing hosted exchange calendar to iPod Touch over USB won't update-

Wanted to post some helpful advice for anyone that may experience this issue.
If you use a hosted exchange service, and are stuck syncing your calendars and contacts to an ipod touch or iphone over USB, realize that iTunes will only sync the default calendars and contacts over USB, not shared folders. Itunes will give you the option to designate which calendar syncs, but the names in iTunes won't match what is named in outlook.
Have a difficult client who suffers from a mixture of tech hoarding, non-linear thinking, unwillingness to change behavior, tech anxiety, and ego. So there has been a lot of money and time spent to get him tools that help organize his life, and allow me to schedule things for him. I have him on a hosted exchange account so that I can have access to his most up to date appointments and contacts when he travels internationally (He won't leave AOL because he can save emails directly as Word files). His Palm treo (which was only being used as a PDA) was beginning to fail, so I recommended an iPod touch as a temporary, low-cost PDA alternative. He travels internationally in 6-8 month chunks, since it didn't make sense to commit to a superphone. He did it under condition that it would sync over USB, since he is in areas without wifi very often. I checked it on my iphone (since I'm synced to his exchange account), and it worked. So I gave the go ahead.
After some issues with changing out his computers while in Europe, he contacts me with issues that his calendar and contact options were not updating to the most recent information in outlook after syncing with USB. After a support call, I was told to restore the phone, so that everything was erased and would be reloaded with outlook info. After we did that, my client informed me that contacts were updating, but the calendar was missing, except for two events that I had accidently added to it from my iPhone. I called support, who took the issue to tier 2, and was outright told not to talk to me and referred me to my hosted exchange company. I mentioned that they would be unable to help me with why iTunes wasn't updating a calendar in Outlook. He apologized but said that Tier 2 wouldn't take the call, and because it was exchange they wouldn't help. This was with my client on the line in a skype conference, who became maddeningly upset, as he would need to find another PDA while in Europe. Since, my client has sworn off Apple, which I was beginning to lean him towards, due to it's robust OS and backup capabilities, as well as simplicity.
But that's neither here nor there. I noticed that the two events that I had accidently added were on the default outlook calendar, named (oddly enough) "Calendar". Due to issues with me when I setup exchange when we first got it, I had to tell him to use a shared calendar called "Calendar-New" so that him and I could view and edit his appointments from different machines. I was connected to my clients computer over VNC, so I saw that under the info tab in iTunes, where I had checked "Sync with outlook" that there was a second option to sync only certain calendars, and three were listed, ""Calendar", "Calendar-", and "Calendar-1". I asked the tier 1 rep to check to see what these meant, I may be able to redirect iTunes to the right calendar. He was unwilling to, as Tier 2 had yelled at him.
With that, we hung up, and, once I confirmed that his changes to Calendar could be seen on my end, and changes I made could be seen on his end, and that these events showed up on the ipod after he synced it, I realized that iTunes defaults to the default calendar in outlook. Yay!. I went ahead and dragged and dropped all of the events from Calendar-New to Calendar, and now the problem is fixed.
I really wish someone at apple support would have been willing to at least walk through this with me, or at least looked into how the sync works, Ashley in tier 2, shame on you for hanging up on my tier 1 rep! You lost a customer who buys a brand new computer every year. Reminds me of this story

Hello Snagglebits2
I am an Solutions Engineer for a hosted exchange provider, and that is some good information.
I have not tested this out, but i will. I do remember when i had my ipod touch, that it would sync perfectly over WiFi, but i do not know if i ever tested this by USB.
You should also make sure your customer is on a hosted exchange service that uses Akami.

IPod Touch Music Capacity

One day I decided to sync all my music on iTunes to my iPod Touch (iTunes says i have 276 songs, 16 hours, 1.68GB of music) when it was done syncing i checked the capacity on the iPod Touch, and now it says I have 3.21GB of music on there and it is still the same amount of songs, any explanations?

Do you have videos, pictures, etc? Album artwork takes up a small amount of space.Try going to SETTINGS - GENERAL - ABOUT and see what it says. Should tell you if you have any videos, photos, apps...the capacity (mine is 29.3 gb) and available amount. If anything is extremely off then you may need to reset your Touch and try syncing again

Advantages of an iPod touch over a Palm/Sony PDA?

I have two SONY Clies that I use for the basic PDA functions (datebook, memos, to-do list, and address book) as well as spreadsheet, database, astronomy programs, ebook reading, news reading (Avantgo and iSilo), dictionaries, podcasts, etc. It's a well-developed system from over the years with many paid for programs.
I am, of course, intrigued and fascinated by the iPod Touch. That's my heart speaking... but then my head says I should be frugal.
I'm wondering what the pluses would be over my current system (replacing or complementing it).
And yes, frankly, I'm looking for rationales & justifications for getting an iPod Touch!
Any observations, comments, or ideas?

You can't use "frugal" and "Apple" or "iPod" in the same paragraph. I'm not an "Apple" guy (no Mac computers and maybe never will), but I got sucked into the ipod universe and just got my, gasp, 8th iPod. Well, between my wife and I, we have 8. The touch 2G is very, very cool, but it is NOT frugal, NOR is it a PDA. No way it will suffice to replace your Sony unit. Only you can decide if it's worth buying. I'm not loaded with money myself, but iPods are just so cool, I can't see not having them. I use the Shuffles most frequently, due to their diminutive size, but since they aren't the sonic equivalent of my 2nd gen Nano or 4G iPod, those get some usage also. I'm a bit bummed that the Touch 2G doesn't sound as good (to my ears) as the 2nd gen Nano. Bass is more clearly defined on the Nano, although I must admit vocals are a smidge clearer on the Touch. At first listen, I was so taken aback by the lesser quality of the Touch's bass that I considered getting a refund, frankly. Further listening revealed that not all frequencies are relatively deficient. ie, it's a definite trade off, sonically, between the two models. I'd read that a new chip in the Touch 2G and Nano 4G would provide better audio performance than previous models. Can't say I agree, at least based on the unit I've got.

8GB iPod Touch default capacity reduced

Upgraded my 8GB iPod Touch (bought it on August 2008 - so no idea whether its 2G or 3G)...If my memory serves me right, the default capacity was 7.38GB when the firmware was 3.1.3. After yesterday's upgrade its reduced to 6.82GB. Did iOS4 consume 1.2GB of my iPod Touch space?
Is this only on mine or anybody else are observing the same?

I was loving my ipod, until Apple did the dumb update. I thought the new software would make me love it even more. But what the software has done to my ipod, decreasing my battery life and lowering my capacity, it just ruined it. Apple has to fix this Cause I'm {and a lot others)are not happy! now i have less space to add music and less time to listen and play games! -.-

Considering ipod touch over ipod classic, a few questions

Hello, I was hoping some of the current users of the iPod touch 2nd generation cna answer a few questions for me concerning the ipod touch, particularly those with an ipod classic as well.
I have had a 160 GB iPod classic for about a year. I had to take it back to be replaced twice because of harddrive failures. After I got the last new one I was fed up and decided to sell it on ebay. I have heard there were issues with the 80 and 160 GBs and the 120 is much better. There is a software upgrade that includes using the genious feature on your ipod for the 120's that was never available for the 160's. And since they discontinued the 160's, I'm assuming there was definately something wrong with that and Apple is too proud to admit to it, so they just roll with the 120's. So with that in mind I figured I'd sell my current 160 since the worst I could do is get the better model of the classic?
So then I started thinking, what about an iPod touch? Here are my concerns with goign with a touch over a classic...
The WiFi would be a huge benefit. I travel a lot and often don't feel like bringing my laptop with me. So when browsing the internet, I was wondering how it worked with Hotmail? With facebook? I know youtube works, but how does it work with other sites that are heavy with Adobe FlashPlayer, like Hulu.com? Or watch news clips from CNN or other things like that.
I use my ipod a lot in my car, and I don't think the touch screen would be very good for this to switch songs, anybody have any experience with this?
The flash drive is very appealing to me since I had 2 classics harddrive fail, but the small size is a concern, anybody have any opinions?
Can the touch be used in disk mode? Does it store full resolution files of photos?
I'm not big into games, but if I had a touch I know I would start.
Will I just get spoiled and wish it was an iPhone or something with 3G connection to the net?
Thanks for any help!

The 160GB Classic was essentially the 1st Generation Classic, it was replaced by the 2nd Generation 120GB Classic, which as you have pointed out has the Genius feature etc. With the exception of the most recent Shuffle, Apple always discontinues production of the previous generation, and it has nothing to do with Apple admitting to anything. I too had to go through 2 160s before the 3rd one worked correctly, it happens. Did the Classic you sold on eBay work correctly.
Thanks to changes by Microsoft you can now use the mail app on the Touch with a hotmail account.
There is a Facebook app in the iTunes App Store, I don't use it so I can't vouch for it but you can go to the Apps Store and read the reviews.
There is no Flash plugin available for the Touch and it is probably going to be 2010 before one is available so no you won't be able to use Hulu.com, etc.
It will be harder to switch songs on the Touch in your car unless you install an iPod connection kit (if your radio supports it, the will allow you to control the Touch from your radio/steering wheel/whatever.
If you have a large iTunes library and want it always with you then you need to lean towards the Classic. If you can live with swapping things around you can go with the Touch. A big advantage to the Touch is the plethora of applications that are available on the iTunes Store, many of them free.
You cannot currently use the Touch in disk mode (don't know if version 3.0, coming this summer will add this) and it does not store full resolution files of photos.
I had a first generation Touch which I purchased on the same day that I bought my 160GB Classic. I sold the Touch and moved to the iPhone, you get spoiled with 3G access.

IPod Touch "Other" Capacity

The capacity of the section "Other" in my iPod Touch seems to be bigger than usual. I'm guessing this is because some of the files or stuff were lost during the syncing process so they were added to the "Other" category. Anyone know how I can manage the files or stuff in the "Other" section or how I can remove the extra stuff on there? I don't want reset my iPod Touch and erase all the contents on it and re-sync it. That would take a very long time.
Thanks~

You can't manually manage the content in Other. A bloated Other section usually results from a failed or interrupted sync. If performing another full auto-sync does not shrink it to its normal size (typically Other is ~100-110 MB), you will need to Restore and then re-sync your content. It does take a while, but that's the only way.
Hope this helps...

Video quality from ipod touch over wifi

It is to my understanding that you can watch video (downloaded from itunes and home video made with ipod touch) through apple tv 2. How is the quality of it, 720p HD or does it get distorted going from little to big screen? Does that include music videos downloaded from itunes?

Providing the content on the iPod is 720p then it will be 720p when streamed via airplay to the Apple TV.
Yes Music videos in iTunes will stream to the Apple TV.

Ipod touch incorrect capacity showing

Hi
I recently re formated my laptop and have re installed itunes.
When I puigged in my Ipod it stated that it was registered to another computer and I would have to register it with this one loosing all of the content, this was not an issue as all of the music, films etc were still on the laptop.
My problems start at this point, my music folder in windows 7 shows as 2.5 Gb approximately with 424 songs, and when imported to iTunes it shows the correct number of tunes, (424 songs) and 2.6 Gb approx.
When I sync the ipod the music then expands to 3.6 Gb but still with 424 songs, there are no duplicates and I have not sync'd any other items like books or films.
Before I had to re register the ipod with this laptop the music showed as the correct 2.6 Gb
Any suggestions as to whats happening here as it is the 8Gb touch every meg is important.
I did try to reset the ipod to factory settings and ensureed it has teh correct software but again still expands 2.6 Gb music to 3.5 Gb,,
Any suggestions appreciated
Andy

You only have 56.6 GB available to you. The difference between that and the 64 GB advertised capacity is taken up by:
The operating system since you can't use that for storage
and how GB is advertised and used/reported by the operating system. See:
How OS X and iOS report storage capacity - Apple Support
The update did not change anything except likely reducing the capacity by 10 or so MB since update typically add things and thus takes more storage for the operating system

IPod says over capacity, but not even close to full.

It started out when I wanted to sync my iPod, and I was choosing some of the playlists to add, and I accidentally clicked "revert" so it took off all the songs off my iPod. So, I automatically went to sync again, and like over halfway through, it says that iTunes stopped working, then it closed. I opened it again, and tried to sync again, but it said I only had 9 GB left and I couldn't sync it. When I look at the bottom though, it says that I have 5000+ songs, but when I go in to see how much music I actually have, it says 400. Will restoring the iPod to factory settings do anything, or is there something I can do to fix it?

Are you using webmail, or the mail app? If it's the mail app, the first step i'd do is to remove the account and re-add it and see if that fixes it.

Why does my iPod Touch's capacity shrink everytime i restore?

When I first bought my iTouch 4, i have X amount of storage(i couldn't remember because it was a year ago. Then i had this memory issue two months ago, which is no matter what i delete, the itouch tells me i have no space and my itunes wouldn't read it! So i went to the apple store and they told me to do a restore which I did, and after restoring I had 6.5Gb capacity left! Then i was like ahh watever. Just two days ago I had the same excate memory issue again which happened after the iOS 5 updates(including 5.01), So i went the apple store again which got the same result: restore you itouch! Which I did again! But this time my itunes wouldn't recognized my itouch as iOS5.0.1 because i did the delta updates through the ipod itself. So i spent an hour downloading the new update then restored my itouch. But this time, i have only 6.35GB capacity left...... whattt?

because the software takes up more memory every time it updates. that means more features.

My itunes wont detect ipod touch over wifi

i always use itunes wifi sync for syncing songs and movies into my ipod but yesterday i got the error of bonjour service problem
i had this error many months before but i solved this problem but now my ipod is not getting detected on itunes i tried to delete bonjour from add/remove programs and then re-install itunes but still the problem is not solved ...please help

First, make sure your iPod software is up to date: iPod Updater - Version 1.1.1.
Try resetting it while it's connected to your computer:
1. Lay your iPod down on your computer desk.
2. Connect your iPod to your computer (if it's not already).
3. Use your pointer finger from your left hand, and press down on the Menu button.
4. Wait a few seconds.
5. Use your pointer finger from your other hand, and press down on the Select button.
6. Hold them down together until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, try connecting it via a different USB port. If not, try restoring it with the latest iPod Updater.

Stream video from Mac to iPod Touch over Wifi network
