Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This is normal. Check this: Is it missing space?

Video & The 20GB Color Ipod

Will the bring video to the 20gb ipod? with a flash update or something?
It doesn't seem like it would be to hard to do?

I just posted the same topic that you posted... funny. I agree. It should be able to do so. I am really bummed because my wife and I bought 2 Color iPod 20GB less 2 weeks ago and I would have waited had we known. This is a real bummer.

HT1386 I have a new computer. I have copied Itunes library from an external hard drive. Itunes now tells me I cannot sync with my Ipod as it thinks the 20gb on the computer are different to the 20gb on my Ipod touch! What have I done wrong? How can I fix

Where can I buy a charger for the 20GB ipod A1059?

Does anyone know where to get a charger for the ipod 20GB A1059?

I believe that is a 4th gen iPod. When you say "charger," do you mean the USB docking cable? Or do mean a USB power adapter that you connect to a wall outlet to charge the iPod?
If it's the docking cable, it's the standard USB docking cable

If you happen to have a Mac with a FireWire port, the 4th gen iPod actually ALSO works (better) over a FireWire connection. But you'll have to look for an old FireWire docking cable on eBay (or other online source).
If you are asking about a USB power adapter, this is the lowest power version from Apple, and it works with the 4th gen iPod.

If i buy the product red ipod touch 5th generation, will the colour come off, meaning will it rub of or wear of as time goes?

I am looking forward to buying the iPod touch 5th generartion product red colour. I want to know if the red colour will wear off over time or will it rub off or something like that, or will the colour stay on firm like the other ipod colours.

Yes, the color is just a color applied (anodized) to the aluminum back. However, it is more durable than paint.

Can I change the Black colour of my ipod touch 4g with new white one?

Can I change the Black colour of my ipod touch 4g with new white one?

You can't get a new color iPod for free. Unless you paint it (which I highly reccomend NOT doing), you must buy a new white iPod touch. You can't trade your iPod touch in for a white one.

Yeah i have the 20gb ipod and trying on a mac

well i recently got a macbook pro soooo i was putting all my music onto the new computer and put in the disk for my ipod and tried to install it i get the message saying "ipod installer ..... cannot be installed on this computer. this update requires the mac os x networking update" and i've installed all the updates and im not sure what it is asking or anything so if you could help that be awesome.
to make clear i have the 20 gb ipod before the color photo one so maybe 3rd gen?

Hey,
I'm having the same problem. Kind of.
I've got either 4th/5th gen ipod. I had the software up-to-date. Now, iTunes 7.0 won't recognize my ipod, and funny enough, the OS won't either (it's as if it does not exist). So, I tried re-installing my old ipod software, and I got the same error message. So, at the moment, I'm kind of between a rock and a hard place. My 20 gig ipod isn't being recognized, and I can't reinstall my old software, nor it seems iTunes 6.0, which worked just fine thank you very much!!
Any help so that I can sync my iPod with my iTunes, as well as be able to view it on the desktop would be appreciated (for the record, when I plug it in, it does pop up the symbol not to disconnect, so the computer is "kind-of" recognizing it.

20gb clickwheel ipod, not recognized by itunes or computer, won't restore!!

Okay, this has been an ongoing problem, with not just one ipod, but two!
My dad and my sister's ipods (both 20gb b/w clickwheel ipods) are completely messed up. Within a week of each other, they have gone from normally functioning ipods, to evil clicking things of doom.
They will not play songs anymore, and alternate between showing the sad ipod icon and the folder icon. Both are ABLE to be placed into disk mode (so they can't be completely screwed...), and make a "whirring sound" in the ipod before any icons are shown. My sister's has been out for service once already, and was supposedly fixed. Now, both are past the 1yr warrenty.
Neither will connect to a computer(we've tried two comps so far.) When connected, the computer will make the coonecting chiming sound, and act as if it's recognizing the ipod, but the ipod will not show up in "my computer", "itunes", or on the "safely remove hardrive" Aside from little connection sound, the fact that the ipod freezes itunes, and my computer, I wouldn't even know it's connected!
Its not our computers, as I have an ipod mini, and it is recognized on both computers, can be restored, updated, ect.
I have restarted and attempted to restore both ipods, to no avail. I have Itunes 7.0.1.8, and am unable to restore it using itunes, as the stupid thing wont recognize the ipod enough to even attempt to restore it! I have tried using previous ipod updaters, but the message "invalid ipod service version" appears, no matter which pevious updater I use.
Would LOVE some advice, as we are at our wits end, and it is disgusting that not one, but TWO ipods are having this same exact problem! Please Help!!!
also, you can email me at [email protected] Thanks!

HT1535 When I plug my ipad into the computer to sync a message pops up saying it can not sync because there is not enough memory in the itunes library. Do I need to increase the memory in my itunes library and how?

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs

Why do I still love the 2nd gen iPod more than the new offerings?

Hello fellow forum users.
I've been reading these forums for over a year now, but only recently did I register in order to post on this forum. I'm a real music nut and I've owned virtually every iPod since I bought my first one three years (a 1st gen iPod mini). At the moment I own the iPod classic (both 80gb and 160gb versions), an iPod touch 8gb, iPod nano 2nd gen 8gb, iPod nano 3rd gen 4gb, iPod shuffle 2nd gen and since last night I've been the proud owner of an iPhone!
Anyway, I've always wanted to own either a 1st or second gen iPod (the firewire version). I was a poor student when the 1st gen was released way back in 2001, so I'd never seen one apart from photos on the web and watching Steve Jobs' original iPod keynote speech on YouTube. I'd been scouring eBay for the last 6 months for one, but mint examples were going for several hundred pounds, or the other versions I could find were either faulty or completely wrecked. I managed to pick a 2nd gen 10gb iPod up a week ago (just the iPod and the slipcase it originally came with.) After buying a firewire cable and charger from eBay for a couple of pounds, I synced the iPod with my Windows XP laptop and I was away to go!
The thing is (and the reason I've posted this discussion) is how the build quality on the new ipods seems to be lacking compared to a device released 6 years ago. Although the 2nd gen has the same stare-at-me-and-I'll-scratch chrome backplate as my 6th gens, the front hardly has a mark and feels like a rhino could stand on it before it is damaged. The hold switch is big (and less fiddly for my bigger fingers), the headphone jack is secure and the plastic covering on the firewire port is still on sits nicely to protect the firewire port.
Regarding firewire, I think it's a big shame Apple have abandoned this format. As someone who syncs many gbs of music every week, I synced over 1300 songs to it in under 10 minutes (would take my 6 gens over 20 minutes). Even charging via firewire is slightly faster.
I also feel that the sound quality is superior on my 2nd gen and when comparing it to my 6th gen there is a clear difference in sound quality, clarity and the presence of a noticeable background hiss on both the 6th gens and the iPod Touch.
I know you're going to say that the new gen iPods have better battery life, supports videos and pictures, but as a music player I still think my 2nd gen still has lots to offer. I don't know, perhaps I'm becoming nostalgic in my old age! What do you think?

you're absolutely right. i have a selection of newer iPods, an iPhone, etc. and in my desk drawer i also have the very first 5GB iPodl, purchased the week they were released, and a 2nd generation 20GB, which i happened to charge up tonight (i was thinking about ditching it because i never use it anymore). well, then i listened to it. i was blown away. i'd forgotten how good the old iPods sound. so rich, so dynamic, with a kind of -- i don't know how to describe it -- velvety warmth to the sound. the iPhone, by comparison, has a flat electronic quality to it, as does the new shuffle. it seems like in the effort to make things smaller they've cut corners on the sound processing. i don't know. needless to say, i won't be ditching my old 20GB anytime soon. what a gem.

The Very FIrst iPod Classic - Having Issues

So, my brother's iPod keeled over and I told him I'd see what I can do. It's one of the very first iPod classics. They don't even sell these anymore. It's a 20GB metal design from 2004. I figure it's just fried, but I still wanna try. I don't think it died until recently, which is a shame. Even charging for a whole 48 hours, it wont turn on. I've tried resetting it numerous times.
Anyone wanna try and help? Any advice is appreciated.
NOTE: I do realise this is probably pointless since it's so old. I don't expect to fix it. It'd just be cool if I did.

It sounds like a third gen iPod. Does it have four buttons in a horizontal row with a circular wheel below? All of these buttons and the wheel touch sensitive? If so, it's a third gen. If it has a clickwheel and it's 2004, it's a fourth gen.
Sounds like the battery's gone. Just replace it yourself. It's like $30 with a DIY kit.

What are the differences between iPod 2nd and 3rd Generation models?

Hi:
I have a couple questions about the differences between some of the iPod Touch models:
1) What is the difference between the *2nd Gen 8GB iPod touch* and the *3rd Gen 8GB iPod touch?*
2) What are the differences among the *3rd Gen iPod Touch 8GB* model and the *32 GB and 64 GB models* (other than the memory differences)?
Thanks!

none, really.

the 32 & 64 GB models have advanced hardware components. 32GB and 64GB Touches gain 3GS specs - roughly 2x faster, with more advanced 3D graphics for games that capitalize on OpenGL 2.0 - and features like Voice Control.

In iMessage do the different colours of message mean anything?

In iMessage do the different colours of message mean anything?

iMessages can be sent between Apple devices like iPhone, iPod, iPad, Macs. They are free of charge if connected to Wi-Fi and use your data plan if Wi-Fi is not available.
If the other person does not have an Apple device, those messages are sent as text, depending on your contract you might have a certain number of free messages to send or your carrier will not charge you for sending.
If an iMessage can't be sent, your iPhone will try to send it as "normal" text message, this setting can be changed in Settings/Messages on your phone.
Messages lets you exchange text messages with other SMS and MMS devices using your cellular connection, and with other iOS devices using iMessage.
iMessage is an Apple service that lets you send unlimited messages over Wi-Fi (or cellular connections) to others using iOS 5 or later, or OS X Mountain Lion or later. With iMessage, you can see when other people are typing, and let them know when you’ve read their messages. iMessages are displayed on all of your iOS devices logged in to the same account, so you can start a conversation on one of your devices and continue it on another device. For security, iMessages are encrypted before they’re sent.

The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.
