ITunes shows 442 MB free capacity instead of 27 GB

Hi,
I have iPod Video (30 GB).iTunes shows "Used 69.3 MB Free: 442.8 MB". However, the iPod setting shows 27 GB has free. I have already restored my iPod and currently I have no songs in it.
How do I get iTunes to recognize the entire 27 GB ? Even the iPod updater (used for restore) showed only 512 MB has available capacity.
Thanks
iPod Video 30 GB Windows XP

Sounds like you have a drive letter conflict in Windows.
Go into 'Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management' and then assign a unique drive letter to your iPod. I think it's trying to use the same drive letter as another device in your system.

ITunes shows iPad 2 over capacity

Everytime I sync my ipad 2 itunes shows it as being over capacity, but it is not.
If I check under settings on the ipad, it shows that there is over 6 GB free space.
I have tried a reset, but that did NOT work.
I really don't want to have to restore.
Is there another option?
Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem. It started sometime after upgrading to iOS 6.
iPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1
iTunes 10.7 (21)
Mac Book Pro 15" Early Feb 2011
Mac OS 10.8.2
wlan is powered by a Time Capsule (2nd generation I think).
It happens when I try to sync using wireless. The sync process then eventually stops with an error message.
Attaching the iPhone to the cable yields the same no success result. See screenshot.
Leaving the iPhone on the cable and restarting iTunes cures the problem. I can then sync using the cable.
Detaching the iPhone from the sync cable and sync again using wireless works.
(But it likely won't again once my iPhone as left my internal wlan for a while)
I've the same problem with my iPad 3 iOS 6.0.1 too.

ITunes showing broken chain link image instead of feed or iTunes tag image.

Hello,
I am the owner of this podcast & I have been experiencing issues with trying to get iTunes to show my new site image. Originaly the feed was using a generic Wordpress image for the podcast's page and for the podcast's image in the store. Ever since I have changed images by first changing the feed image, the generic Wordprss image still shows for the podcast's store image and the podcast's page image changed to a large white background with a chain having a broken link in the middle of it.
I assumed that this meant the url for the new image was corrupt or something was wrong w/ the XML code, so I imediately switched back to the previous Wordpress image & configuration. This did not fix the problem, so I went in and then changed it back to the new one and tested the url for the feed image tag and the itunes image tag. Both urls for both tags bring all browsers to the image at that location. I then went ahead & started checking the XML code against all the validators out there, and the feed's code was passing all of them with NO mention of any issues regarding the image tags (this includes validation tests against the original feed at Wordpress.com). I know the feed is still working in iTunes because iTunes shows changes to other components to the feed like episode descriptions, new episodes & etc..
I also know that the image is fine, because I attached it to the ID3 tag for the most recent episode, (19), and the coverflow, plus the podcast thumnail view both show the image perfectly.
I have also compared my tags w/ the tags of other podcasters I know whose images are working properly in iTunes.
I feel I have done everything in my power to verify that all of my settings are configured correctly at this point. Unless there is something I have missed that you can point me too, can you please take a look at your end to see if there is anything corrupted in iTunes regarding my podcast that is preventing image updates to occur according to specs?
Please help as soon as possible because this issue has been occuring for the past 4 days with no end in sight. As a result of this issue, people who are seeing my podcast's page are going to be under the impression that it is broken and no longer working for them to subscribe to.
Thanks for your time,
John D'Agnese

Hi,
I'm having a similar or near problem with the service under:

Actually, we are using the services for search and lookup, respectively:

But, we didn't found any forum or other questin repository about the API.
Trancing the routes for DNS, the host and WebObjects server responds fine. But, the service package http://ax.phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/* is so much instable. Sometimes, this responds normally, but often it's not working well.
The problem was detected in Feb 4, but maybe its started in Feb 3.
Can anybody help me or can redirect me for the correct forum to discuss this issue?
Thanks a lot for this forum entry,

Deleted iPod Playlist but iTunes shows iPod with same capacity as before!

Hi!
Can you help out? I wanted to free up some space on my iPod, so I deleted one of my Playlists through iTunes, however, although the Playlist has successfully been erased, shown capacity has not! The playlist was ~2.5GB, but my iPod's capacity meter has not changed at all!!
What's up?! I would love the extra capacity please (my iPod nano 2G is the 8GB version)!!
Thanks & looking forward to your reply.
Stefan

Indeed you deleted the playlist but not the songs... you can check on the "Music" tab that all the songs remain in your ipod... if you want to delete songs you have to do it from this "Music" tab... deleting the playlist doesn't delete the songs inside

Itunes shows only 4gb free for my 8gb touch

My 4th generation ipod touch 8 gb shows only 4gb as total size in itunes. I had recently restored the os to 4.3.3, I also uninstalled all apple products as mentioned in the complete uninstallation guide but the issue still persists. I suspect its the 64 bit itunes issue. For once I could play few songs that were loaded by the service center guys(I had left the device for diagonistics, they say its all right) but after that itunes could never read my ipod. All backup sessions failed. I'm also in doubt about the hardware(ipod) itself.
I cannot buy a mac just to sync my ipod, please anyone suggest something that I can and should do. I'm really bugged up. All contents in the ipod is lost now and even the downloaded apps donot show up in itunes as I had done all possible sort of cleanup.
Dell XPS, windows 7 home premium 64 bit.

With the iPod connected to your computer. go to the Summary pane for your iPod and list the storage used for the different categories. The "other" should be less than 0.25 GB but can be very large and to reduce it you need to restore your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

Itunes shows that I have 2 free Gigs on my iphone (with music included) but won't let me sync my music because it says it's full.

I am trying to sync 1900 songs onto my iphone 5 which is 16 gigs. The coloured bar that shoes when syncing my iphone with itunes shows 1.68 free Gigs (with my music included), but when I press sync i receive this: "The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 4.55 GB required).". Any Advice?

Then I have no idea what to say (you did change names and dates I assume?)

Itunes shows space on iphone but won't sync

My itunes shows 2.24GB of free space on my phone, but when I go to sync, I get a message that says,
The iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items (additional 278.2 required).
When I hit OK, the sync process stops and the status bar at the bottom shows 1.62GB free space.
It's an iphone 4 with 7.1.2, and I'm running itunes 12.1.0.71 64-bit on Windows 7 through USB.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
John

UPDATE: I tried clearing all music (by unchecking the sync music box), which makes itunes show 4.79GB free space in the bottom status bar, and when I hit sync, I get the following message (same as last time, but with a difference in additional space required):
The iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items (additional 1 MB required).
What gives, itunes?

Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
How do I get rid of the other stuff?
capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

I want to use an iTunes gift card as the back up for in app purchases for a so called free app instead of my credit card or having my bank account emptied.
How can I do this? I saw something about gift cards can only be used for music or movies, not apps.

You can use an iTunes gift card for app, music, movies and other media.To redeem one see:

I downloaded songs on itunes, when I go to sync it to my ipod it "says" its syncing and then it shows up on the capacity bar but there are no songs on my ipod

In itune did you play any of the songs downloaded. If so plug your ipod back in an manualy check off to sync all music. If that doesn't work you might have to restore the ipod.

IPhone 6 shows a different free storage from what iTunes shows.

When I go into the storage section on my iPhone (iPhone 6 iOS 8.3), it shows a different number from what iTunes shows when I connect the device to it.
There's around a 500 MB gap that I cannot understand why is happening. This is kind of critical 'cause you know how many apps or pictures can fit in 500 MB and I don't know which number to follow.
Anybody else experiencing this? Any suggestions on how to fix?
Thanks in advance.

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?

ITunes shows Subscribe Only in price field.

iTunes shows Subscribe Only in price field for my podcast. How can I change it to Free?

It is still Free. The Subscribe label seems to appear if your episodes are encoded in AAC format instead of MP3. Perfectly legitimate thing to do, although it limits your audience to iTunes and a few other AAC capable players.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

ITunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them.

iTunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them. I reconnect to iTunes and it shows the music and books as being loaded on my iPod.
Sometimes the audiobook will play, then disappear from iPod's play menu after I reconnect to iTunes and load more music. I've got plenty of free memory, and iTunes shows the files still on iPod.
....or should I just roll it back to iOS 5... never had these kinds of issues with the old OS.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all AB and resync
To delete all ADgo to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>AB and try deleting them from there
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
