ITunes 10.6.1 space calculation problems?

Question

I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.6.1. and since then I've had a lot of problems. Most of the issues such as missing album artwork and missing playlists I've been able to fix but there's now one of the major problem I don't know how to solve. I synced my iPod the day before the update and everything went just fine like always. Since the update when I try to sync my iPod Touch it says I need an additional 25GB of space for something; I have no idea what. I have not added anything new to my library whatsoever since my last sync. The only difference is the update. While messing around trying to solve the problem on my own I synced my iPod and in the process erased all of my music from it. I really want to have my music back on my iPod but iTunes is still saying I need 25GB of free space.

Hello, Chris.
Thank you for your reply.
It seemed to me that the issue was that iTunes defaulted to the Search field when not minimized, which prevented the Space Bar from being able to automatically function as a means to stop a song from playing. & I understood that as the issue, which seems still to be unresolved.
Note: I do not know if iTunes had/has always defaulted to the Search field, as I never had cause to notice until I began to seek a solution to the problem [ bug ]—subsequent to recent updates—which caused the Space Bar to no longer function as a consistent means to stop playing.
Perhaps, I am still misunderstanding something, but, again, the problem seems to be illogical that a non-minimized window in iTunes should disable the Space Bar from functioning properly as a keyboard shortcut. That is the solution I continue to search for.
