Ipod wont hold as much after itunes update.

My Ipod touch 5th gen (32gb) had about 16gb of space remaining. Then once I updated itunes and have tried to sync all of the sudden it tells me that im 4gbs over yet its the same amount of data as i had before the update. If you know anything please help. It's making me angry.

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" largeer than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • IPod Nano won't sync after iTunes update to 11

    My 5th Generation iPod Nano will not sync to iTunes 11. I am running iTunes 11.0.1, on an one year old iMac running on an Intel Core i5, running MacOS X 10.8.2 with 4 GB of memory. Now that we got that out of the way-- I use this iPod daily. Once I updated to iTunes 11, synching has been sporatic. Once I plug the iPod in, iTunes opens like it should, however the iPod never appears in the iTunes window, only in the Finder. I have done the following:
    ejected the iPod from the Finder window and then unplugged it, and reattached the iPod.
    Quit iTunes and restarted, reStarted the iPod by toggling the power switch and holding the Menu/Select buttons until it restarted.
    Rebooted my computer
    Restored the iPod nano
    Results are the same. Sometimes it will sync, after an extended period of time, without reason. Once I eject and need to reconnect the device, I am unable to get it to sync. Sometimes I have ended up with a spinning beachball and have force quit iTunes and sent a report and a description, but Apple doesn't seem to have come up with an update yet.
    I can tell you this-- I have not seen an iPod that would be a suitable replacement for this one-- I love not having to look at the screen to operate it's simple controls, and it is the perfect size.
    I can also tell yo uthis-- The new suprise user interface on iTunes 11 is clunky and requires too many steps to maintain my playlists. Do not like it.
    Suggestions?

  • Itunes crashes during ipod sync on windows xp after itunes update

    Installed iTunes update 2 days ago on Windows XP computer.   iTunes now crashes constantly when trying to sync iPod.  Get a Data Execution Prevention message that shuts down iTunes.  I've added an exception for iTunes in DEP, but it still happens every time I try to sync and a few times it's happened after I've started up iTunes and just  tried to go to the iTunes store with no iPod connected.  How can I overcome this problem?

    Oh, and here's the Error Signature when it crashes:

  • IPod not recognized by windows after iTunes update

    After my iTunes 6.0 update, my computer (running on Windows XP) suddenly won't recognize my iPod. It says "Does not recognize USB device," and "no driver found". When I connect my iPod to my laptop (which still has iTunes 4.0 installed) it is recognized fine. What should I do? There are some songs on my PC that I do not have on my iPod, and I don't want to lose them by completely uninstalling iTunes. Help!

    Oddest thing happened...I have actually redownloaded iTunes and clicked repair before, and it didn't work. But I just did it again and suddenly my computer recognized the iPod again. It did give me some kind of error talking about how the playlist count was corrupted, but that doesn't bother me very much since I can connect and update again.

  • Links to songs lost after iTunes updates

    Hi everyone,
    I seem to have to have two recurring problems with iTunes.
    1. After iTunes updates, I seem to lose the link to numerous songs. When I click on them, I get the little exclamation mark and a window asking if I want to locate the song manually in the library. This time around, I've got over 1500 songs in this boat. I can't locate them all manually. Each time I find one, it asks if I want iTunes to look for others. I click OK, but then it says it can't find any more.
    2. I have a lot of duplicate songs. The software seems to duplicate them itself. One of the versions will have the little exclamation mark beside it, the other will work. Is there a way to bulk clean this up? It is a rather lengthy process otherwise.
    Is anyone else having these types of problems?
    Thanks
    Orest

    Can't answer your issue because I don't use itunes to organize my music(MP3). I use the Finder. I do move my MP3 files to my 5 Macs and get the job done in a few minutes with never a problem.
    I rip music, then pick my favorite songs. I delete the track number(working with a copy of the original MP3) and place my 2,160 MP3 files into a folder of my choice name. I leave my other "untouched" original MP3 in an archive on either a firewire drive or another sata internal drive for safe keeping.
    Now I have a folder called whatever containing many folders such as rock, metal, jazz, etc...inside those folder of course would be organized by artist folder, album folder then the music.
    When I re-do my Macs I just copy my favorites folder over to it. Launch itunes then add to the library(just select the top folder and it adds everything inside). I did id3 tag my favorites originally and also used GROUPING to then have a way to sort all the songs instantly, select all and choose the equalizer. I name my playlist the same name as GROUPING name to make it simple to transfer my favorite into each playlist.
    Lots of typing here but infinitely easier to work with my huge collection of MP3 files.

  • After iTunes update, iTunes.exe System Error - msvcr80.dll missing  & icudt49.dll missing.

    After iTunes update, iTunes.exe System Error - msvcr80.dll missing. Followed the support suggestion & uninstalled then re-installed iTunes 5 times & still no good so followed Apples advice & uninstalled again then went into programme files & manually deleted the files re-installed again & now getting iTunes.exe System Error - icudt49.dll missing. I give up, anyone out there help ?

    I've just (finally) managed to fix this problem today. I checked the Apple Support forums, and it seems a lot of people are having the same problem.
    I rang the Apple Support line, and the very helpful man (thanks Alan!) talked me through it stage by stage. If you go to the following page on the internet:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376   it takes you through the process. WARNING - it takes a little time! The main purpose of this is to remove any trace of the old version of iTunes from your computer...
    Basically, the first thing you have to do is go to your Program Files and double click on your iTunes folder. There'll be a number of files with the suffix .dll - you need to move all the .dll files from that folder to your desktop - you can simply click and drag them on the desktop..
    Next, uninstall iTunes - go to Control Panel / Add/Rempve Programs and when the list comes up remove iTunes. This will take a few minutes... Then reboot your computer.
    Next, go back to Control Panel / Add Remove and Remove - IN THIS ORDER -
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot again!
    Next, check in your Program Files that the iTunes folder is completely gone - if it has, great: if it hasn't, right-click on the folder and press Shift and Delete - it will say "Are you sure you want to completely remove the folder "iTunes"? Click on "Yes".
    Reboot!
    Then go to the iTunes download page and voila! It should download iTunes without any problems... well it did for me.... Good luck!

  • I keep getting a msvcr80.dll error after iTunes update failed?

    I keep getting a msvcr80.dll error after iTunes update failed?

    Seems the base of the problem is the update installation does not change the libraries but the software wants to see them changed.  So the user has to go clear out all software that shares the libraries and then install the full version so they are rebuilt properly.

  • IPod wont sync to laptop after installing newer itunes update

    I installed an itunes update and after restarting my computer it would not sync at all. Also when plugged into my computer it no longer showed up as "Jims iPod" but just "Apple iPod" under devices where i cannot edit it in anyway. I uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it then getting the message " iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because of a newer version of iTunes" i did some tinkering (renamed itunes library as library.itl" and iTunes was able to open again however still couldnt sync. WHAT DO I DO? I have tried everything and its not appearing in iTunes at all.

    Try:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • My 5th Gen iPod Touch will not sync after I updated my iTunes

    Right after I updated my iTunes on my PC, it will no longer sync anything. My apps, my music, everything won't sync.
    It just says that I can't sync because I need more space (8.30GB to be exact). But before I updated my iTunes, everything was fine. The thing is I want my iTunes and iPod to synchronize with each other without losing anything.
    Can someone help me?
    Also, my OS is already iOs 7.1

    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync? It appears not.
