Just got the iPod Classic. What is taking up 12GB of space when it says it's empty? (Hoping to clear it)

The operating system and space reserved for the iPod to carry out its tasks, such as remembering what you have played and how many times you've played it (this information is Synced back to your iTunes Library at each Sync.) There is also a slight discrepancy in the way that storage size is calculated, which accounts for some of that 12GB.

You cannot.
You still have 148GB for storing your music, vidoes and Podcasts. That's quite a lot.
My music library is currently 115.78GB and is a mixture of songs at various Bit Rates. (The higher the Bit Rate, usually, the better the quality.) It has more than 17,000 songs and will play (non-stop) for 58 days.
If your Library becomes (or already is) larger than this, it is possible to set iTunes to automatically manage the content, by removing (for example) recently played songs (except any specific ones you always want on your iPod) and then to put back onto the iPod songs that haven't been played for a while.
If you would like any detail on how this is done, let us know.
In the meantime, enjoy your iPod.
Create your Library of music and - my advice is - to use Sync to add everything to your iPod. In other words, do not use Manually Manage. In the long run, Sync is easier. You can still fully control what is on the iPod using Sync. Again, if you need help, this is the place to ask. Generally speaking, the more points a user has, the more people feel that have been helped by that user.

Make an appointment at the genius bar.
If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

Just got a iPod Classic and I need help. Been trying for a few days already

Just got my iPod classic. Plugged it in once and iTunes read it fine, I uploaded a few songs. Later that night, I plugged it back in...and the ipod cant get pass the Connected screen. Once that screen shows up, the ipod shuts off. It does that over and over and over so its not even showing up in itunes.
I'm getting frustrated.

Try to leave it connected for a while so that the battery can fill in without any request of power.

Just got the ipod touch.. is there anyway I can also listen to the radio?

Just got the ipod touch.. is there anyway I can listen to the radio on this?

The iPod Touch does not have built in radio functionality. You may be able to find an App that will give you access to radio while connected to WiFi.

I just got the Ipod nano about 3 weeks ago. It worked great up untill today. It would not turn on, or connect to my computer. I called the apple company, and the said it was defaulted, and to send it in and they would replace it. Will I get a new one?

I just got the ipod nano about 3 weeks ago. It worked great up untill today. It would not turn on, or connect into my computer. I took it back to best buy and they said it had a defulted battery, and that I needed to call the company. So I did and they had me send it in. Will they send me a new ipod, or a refurbished one. I havn't even had the ipod long enough, and I paid good money for it. I'm hoping to get a new one, because it wasn't my fault.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours. The cracked screen voids any warranty you had on the iPod.

I have an iTouch, and I just got an iPod classic - how do I copy podcasts from the iTouch onto the iPod classic?

I have been able to move over music, by dragging and dropping the "music" icon into the area on iTunes on the left that shows the iPod classic, but I can't move over podcasts - how do I do this? Thanks!

Like LexSchellings said, simply plug it in, configure to sync however you like, and then actually sync away. Basically, you can do the same thing you did with your first iPod.
There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync with one iTunes library, computer, or account.

I just got the 8GB nano, what is Other.

I just got the 8GB nano and it is saying that I am only able to sync 3.2 of my 4.4 GB of music because 4.2 GB is taken up by Other. What is this Other and how do I free up the space so that I can have all of my music on my iPod? Thanks.

You have any usually large amount of other. Sometimes this is the result of failed sync operations with iTunes or damaged files on your iPod that cause stored content to be recognized properly. The only way to fix the issue is to restore your iPod to factory settings in iTunes.

I just got an Ipod Classic and when i try to sync it it syncs half then deletes it all and disconnects

Whenever i plug my Ipod Classic (new) into my computer it says Sync in progress, then switches to "OK to disconnect" after loading about 40 songs on, and then deleting them off the Ipod. What's going on? All the computer says is "cannot load songs, unknown error occured."

To help in troubleshooting,
What is your iTunes version?
What is your iPod firmware number, as shown on the Itunes summary page?
You problem is iTunes timeout the sync process because there is no response from the iPod. Possible causes
iPod Hardisk malfunctioning.
Antivirus scanning
Other USB devices, using up the USB resource
iPod connected to USB 1.1 port instead of High Power USB2.0 Port
IPod connected to USB Hub.
Windows plugins or Malware using up CPU resource.
Whenever you sync or Restore the IPod, connect the iPod to the Back panel USB 2.0 port, disconnect all other USB devices except the mouse, and disconnect from Internet, stop your antivirus.
But if the above doesn't work, bring it back to Apple , since it is under warranty.
You can also do a Disk Diagnostic as posted regularly by tt2, to check your Hardisk, it wont fix the problem but help you decide what to do.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Just got the iPod Touch 5 and my World of Warcraft "Armory" app needs an update even thou I got it up to date.....

I bought an iPod Touch 5 from my friend today and uploaded all of my apps from my iTunes and got all of them Up-To-Date. Somehow after updating the World of Warcraft "Armory" app it says that the app needs to be updated even thou I updated the app. Nothing would work. I try deleting and reinstalling the app and still ask for update. I look in my Updates tap in the App Store but it says that All apps are up to date.

I have the simlar issue when getting the app for my Dad's iPad. Help me too please.

Just got the ipod touch set up the account when i went to go sign in it said to verify my apple id when i got to the car number verification it said the code was incorrect but its the same code i used to set it up and it is not incorrect

The apple id username and password is correct, just when i go to verify my account information it says the card number is wrong (set it up through itunes gift card)

Perhaps try the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

I just got my ipod 4g screen fixed a few weeks ago and when I got it back my screen was loose and part of my keyboard did not work. Then I fell and it cracked majorly, doi send it back?

Did Apple do the work? Apple does not repair you iPod they exchange it for one they already refurbished.

HT4972 if you backup everything prior to update to ISO 5 then click all buttons under summary after transferring all paid apps from iPad and then I do the update, won't the restore then just put the old OS on it. I am sooo lost when it says the way you

Dear iPad Wizards,
I am a beginner. I have an ipad and I need to upgrade to ISO 5 and I have purchased APPS on my iPad. All the warning are scaring me. Right now all of my sync square buttons are not turned on. One of the warnings says I will loose my apps if I don't transfer them. I did that (with another warning). Then it said to back up the iPad, which I did. Heck all I want to do is upgrade my version correctly. It then makes a statement that is something like when you are updating your version, make sure you have all your apps sync set normal, but when I do that it says you will loose all apps, but what the heck is normal (I say at this point). So, since I am so lost and don't know what to do, do I just chuck it up to a learning experience because if I now restore everything after I do the update it seems that it will restore the old ISO...Am I correct. I was just really thrown for a loop with that statement that is highlighted and I am still no where except backed up and apps purchased transfered to itunes. Anybody else in the world ever have this happen to them? I am truly thankful for anyone who might be able to help me. I am thankful in advance if anyone understands this email. Looking forward to someone who understand.
With Many Thanks

To update to iOS 5.1.1, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases - you may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

What is taking up so much space when using FCP?

Hi everyone… I do a lot of work on FCP and have noticed that I have almost no hard drive space left. I am not referring to my scratch disk which I use an external drive for. Basically I am wondering what are the item I can saftely delete? Is there a place on my hard drive where I am building up items by using FCP that I am unaware of that I can get rid off? What are Constant Frames and can I delete them? Same goes for Waveform cache (I know how to delete render files safely), Autosave files, etc. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

If you have installed a version of Studio then you probably installed all the "extras" to your system drive (Sound Track loops, Live fonts, and various other template for Live Type, Motion etc.) These files take up a lot of space. The install process does give you the option to place these files on a different drive if you wish. You can move them after the install as well. Try a search here for more info on how to do that.
Other than that, The waveform cache and thumbnail cache are not usually large files. You can specify that Waveform, Thumbnails, and autosaves be saved to a different drive in Scratch settings.
You can delete auto saves, but what if you need them? And again, how much space are they taking compared to render files?
