My 60G iPod Photo reads 22.9G available when empty...

I was having a few problems with my 60G iPod Photo, mainly, it was freezing up while playing, and sometimes it would just act like it was playing songs when in actuality is was not. Most of the time when this happened I would reset my iPod and that would fix the problem temporarily. That is until it happened again. I began to get frustrated with this so I decided to restore my iPod. When I restored it, I noticed that after it cleaned it off, it was telling me I had only 22.9G available. How is this possible? When a 60G is empty it should have somewhere around 55G of available space. I restored it again thinking that it was a fluke, but it still reads the same thing. How do I get all of my memory back? ...PLEASE HELP!!....

This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

  • To load or not to load included software with the 60g iPod Photo?

    I have a brand new "older" 60g iPod photo. It came with instructions to load software from included CD. Apparently, the software is more than just the iTunes software. Do I dare to load it? All my other iPods have been "plug and play" into my iTunes.

    It came with instructions to load software from included CD.
    Don't use the CD.
    Apparently, the software is more than just the iTunes software.
    Aside from iTunes, only the iPod updater is included on the disk, and that was incorporated into iTunes 7. You don't need to and shouldn't use the CD.

  • Updater won't recognize 60G iPod Photo

    Help Please.... I have the latest version of iTunes and upgraded to a 60G from a previous generation 30G version iPod. My iTunes works fine and songs transfer to the iPod, but no purchased music will play on the iPod (it will play in iTunes), album artwork will not appear on the iPod (and there is no selection button appearing in "iPod Options" in iTunes to turn it on), and the iPod updater software won't recognize that my iPod is plugged in at all (so I can't update or restore).

    I tried all of these steps, but I'm still not getting the Ipod updater to even recognize that my Ipod is plugged in.
    The computer is recognizing that the Ipod is plugged in, and it opens Itunes 5.0 like usual, but after I connected my Ipod to sync for the first time since installing 5.0 it erased like 200 songs off my ipod, and says that
    "Some of the songs in the Itunes music library were not copied to the Ipod "My Ipod" because your Ipod software is too old. Go to www.apple.com/ipod to get the latest IPod software update."
    every time i try to get those songs back on. I believe the songs it erased are ones I purchased from the Music store.
    Recap:
    1. Ipod is being recognized and can be seen in Itunes.
    2. Itunes says my ipod software is too old to load some songs from my library.
    3. Ipod updater 2005 9_06 will not recognize that my ipod is connected to my computer even though it shows up perfectly on my desktop and in Itunes.
    4. My ipod itself is running just fine, its just missing like 100$ worth of music i purchased : (

  • 60G IPod Photo Deleting Help Needed

    I have deleted all but 4 pics from my IPhoto and want to delete ALL of them from my IPod. I've looked everywhere for help on deleting pics from my IPod but can't find anything anywhere. Someone?

    Lipstick,
    Do you want to format the iPod? you can do so with disk utility (Apllications>Utilities>Disk Utility). Otherwise, I would use an iPod updater and do a restore which is almost a format.
    hope this helps.

  • 60G iPod Photo Not Booting via Firewire

    I cloned my hard drive to my iPod for backup, but it will not boot via firewire. I can select it in my Startup Disk control panel, so it's seeing the system. It used to work. Anyone else having problems booting? I'm wondering if this last updater broke the ability to boot via firewire.

    Which iPod do you have?

  • ITunes for Mac Error -50 when syncing iPod photo

    OS X 10.5.4 iTunes 7.7 Getting error -50 when syncing photos to my 60G iPod Photo, music is synced but not alll checked photos. I have AppleTV and 2 iPhones that are synced with this computer and all 3 of those are synced properly. But this iPod is giving me fits. I have restored the iPod and re-synced to no avail. Are there any plists that are hidden that I can trash. I have read about keywords on photos causing it, but I have 19,0000 tagged photos and I can't look at each one for a corrupt keyword. I have turned on albums one at a time with no help. Seems like a sync is a sync iPhone, iPod, AppleTV. Why different results? I am trying to get the same photos as on iPhones (16G), and the Apple TV has all of my songs and Photos, so the keyword thing may be bogus info.

    Hi! I am having the same problem...how did you fix it?
    Thanks!

  • PC to Mac transfer photos and Music from ipod photo 30gb

    My pc crashed and I got a mac, I don't know how to transfer music and photos to my new mac. I've read, something about senuti with an ipod shuffle. I want to know if its the same process to follow?
    Any help will be great

    1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Floola Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    If not, there are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
    Keith's iPod Photo Reader Mac only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Dead ipod photo, now working thanks to.....

    ...this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2369954#2369954
    once again, thanks again Wazman21!!!!! You saved my ipod from being thrown in the bin......

    Hello,
    Glad it is working in your case, but I just would like to give an update.
    I have a 60G iPod Photo also the 3rd Gen iPod, both of them suffered with the same problem i.e. Hard Drive problem, and I managed to solve them based of what I wrote on the threat. But sadly to tell everyone that now both of the iPods are dead after 12-16mths.
    I strongly suggest you should do the following after the whacking
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

  • New 60G IPOD will only hold 4000 songs HELP

    I just got my husband a new 60G IPod Photo and am trying to load songs for him. After only 4,000 songs, it says the IPOD is full. What am I doing wrong? I am trying to transfer about 13,000 songs - and on my computer harddrive, they only use a total of 52G - and I am getting really frustrated and confused. Thanks for any help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If in iTunes it says the songs total up to 52GB then try restoring your iPod...

    And then resync.
    Also, make sure everything is updated...

  • I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error, "iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found". Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    Try here:
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
    The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

  • IPod Photo 60G and Windows problems

    I am unable to connect my Photo 60G iPod to my current computer.
    I can connect it successfully to my laptop, so I know that the fault is not with the iPod or the iPod cord. I can connect my daughter's rather elderly 10G iPod to this current machine successfully, so I know it isn't this computer or the iTunes software.
    What I can not do is connect the 60G iPod. When I do, the iPod gets the 'Do Not Disconnect' icon going but then computer usually freezes before opening iTunes and I can only sort it out by shutting off the machine. If I open iTunes first and then connect it, the iPod does not show up and sometimes the 'Do Not Connect' icon comes on and sometimes it doesn't.
    If I leave iTunes closed, attach the iPod and then try to access it via the iPod updater in the Programs menu, it either freezes the machine as above or it gives an error message saying I need to restore my iPod (which I clearly don't, as not only is it working perfectly, it also connects fine to the laptop.) In all these instances, if I try to eject it from the USB port by clicking on the icon in the tray to bring up the 'eject safely' box, it will bring up the initial box and then freeze before bringing up the second confirmation box. In all these freezes, it ties up the machine so badly I have to turn it off at source. It will not even allow me to close down using Task Manager.
    The iPod does generally show up in Windows, if I get that far and it doesn't freeze the machine before. Often it will then freeze the machine if I try to look at it in Device Manager or Windows Explorer.
    I have done the following things to resolve the problem:
    1) Completely removed iTunes and the iPod Updater (numerous times), cleared out all their crap from the seven zillion places it goes on the machine, and re-installed cleanly using only the most up-to-date downloaded versions of both (plus, of course, have also tried the old versions, just in case.) In all instances, my daughter's small iPod works and mine doesn't.
    2) Tried the iPod on every single one of the USB ports on the machine, just in case one wasn't working. (They all are.)
    3) Followed the instructions on these two pages on this site to resolve the problem:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
    4) I searched Google Groups, where I found a reference to one problem I was having with the iPod updater which said it could be traced to an issue stemming ultimately from Apple's lack of understanding of the Windows platform and that the software couldn't cope with multiple drives or things not being on the C: drive. I do have my hard disk partitioned and formatted as drives C and D with everything defaulting to D. I would have expected Apple to have fixed this problem by now, as the was in March, so I made sure I have only the latest software, but this hasn't made any difference. I also tried specifically installing it to the C section of my drive but this didn't make any difference either. I suspect this may be a red herring, as if it were a genuine issue, I wouldn't expect my daughter's iPod to work either.
    I don't want to be confined to only downloading music to my laptop, which is very old and slow and has a small hard disk. The problem seems to be very specific to the iPod 60G and I'm trying to figure out how it is different from the smaller iPod my daughter has and how to resolve it.
    Any suggestions?

    The battery will not charge eithger. I have left it in a computer and ab outlet charger both for 1 hour, but no juice is going to the iPod. Is the cord dead? Or is the battery messed up? What is going on?

  • Trouble importing stored photos from 60g ipod to iphoto.

    I downloaded 500 photos while on vacation to 60 g ipod. I go to iphoto and select import which opens a window but don't know where to locate the stored photos.
    imac G5 and 60g ipod   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hello there.
    Your photos will be stored on your iPod in a folder, much like they have already been saved on a hard drive. From the Finder, locate your iPod icon. If you do not see one, you need to go into iTunes, go to the iPod preferences and tell it to mount on your desktop.
    Once you see the iPod folder on your desktop, double click it to open, and locate the folder that contains the photos you stored on it. Drag this folder to your iPhoto window, and they will be imported.
    If you find this useful or if it solves your problem, please indicate this by clicking in the appropriate icon above this reply.

  • No exchange offer for Ipod Photo 60g?

    Great...I just upgraded my 40g ipod to a 60g color photo ipod 4 months ago. Now the video ipod is out. Does Apple offer any sort of hardward exchange?

    Haven't you opened your eyes and read the forum yet? The answer is "no". Now sell your brick of an iPod photo on eBay and deal with it!
