My Iphone only uploads about 90 songs...
Does that sound right? Shouldn't it be able to hold a lot more? I've uploaded nothing else.
But when I sync, it seems to 'freeze' for a while after about #37, and then I just disconnect it.
Any thoughts?
What the...?
So now... I have to go out and buy a new USB port for my Iphone to work porperly?
I mean come on, seriously. This is the last week of apple draining my wallet:
My GF buys me a shuffle. I couldn't use it though because I was running a slightly older itunes (I was on Tiger, so I needed Leopard to run the latest itunes). This week, I got an iphone, so I figured I'd buy Leopard to make them both work fine.
I install leopard and suddenly my computer is barely working at all. Now people are telling me I suddenly need to buy more RAM.
Now you're telling me my iphone won't even work on my computer (which is only 4 years old and has been serving me fine up till now) because it's not a new USB (yet they never even included firewire?).
People don't have TWO THOUSAND dollars to plunk down every 4 years for new hardware. I know a billionaire like Jobs and those holding apple stock over the last few years may, but come on guys!
I'd rather just buy a $600 Dell. Because what their saying is my Iphone will work better on that than on my barely 4 year old Mac, and at the end of the day it's probably cheaper than trying to save this one.

I have a new 16g nano. I have only added about 600 songs so far. It is telling me that I 4.47G of songs and 9.92G of other and only 3.297MB of space left. I have no tvshows, no movies, no pictures on the Ipod. How do I find out what the "other" is and get rid of it?
You most likely have some corrupted files in other. Restore it and resync.

I pod mini 4Gb only holding about 160 songs?
I just got my 4GB I Pod Mini. I downloaded 84 songs and I used up 2.33GB. That doesn't make sense. It says it should hold up to 1000 songs. This is very upsetting my parents spent a lot of $ for only a few hundred songs? Please help!! There is nothing on my I Pod but 84 songs. Thanks for your time
Paula,
That file size is massive. Follow this post I gave to someone in a similar situation:
Problem: Before I knew anything about bit rates or file sizes, I accidently imported a ton of my music as giant music files like Apple lossless! Now, my iPod has filled up with far fewer songs than Apple said could fit on my iPod! What do I do?!?
Solutions:
You have a couple options now. What you are going to need to do is convert the songs to a smaller file size like mp3. Under your import preferences (which can be found under iTunes>Preferences>Import Tab if you use an Apple or File>Preferences>Import Tab if you use Windows), change the file type to the type you would like to convert your music too.
Then, in your music library, sort your music by "Kind." If there isn't a "Kind" collumn at the top of your library, right click or control-click the "sorting bar" and select Kind. Click on "Kind" so that the arrow is either pointing up or down. See what file types your songs are. Are there any that are already in the file format that you are about to convert to? If so, don't select those songs. Otherwise, select the other songs (we'll say for discussion purposes that you chose AAC under the Import tab). Right click or control-click the selected songs and choose "Convert to AAC." iTunes will then copy and paste all the songs you selected into the new file format, AAC. Now, you have two options. If you have plenty of memory on your computer, I would choose Option 2.
Option 1:
You could delete all the music in the large file format from your library and continue syncing the iPod automatically.
Pros: You don't have to change any of the settings you use to sync your iPod. You also save hard drive space.
Cons: You delete the higher quality music. If you ever want to play your iPod through a stereo or high quality speakers, you won't have the high quality music to play. Also, you have to recreate all your iTunes playlists.
Option 2
Make a Smart playlist (File>Make New Smart playlist). Choose "Kind" in the first drop down menu. Choose "Does Not Contain" from the next drop down menu. Then, type in "Apple Lossless or whatever the large song file type was." What this does is essentially create a seperate library for you; one that contains no large files. Now, depending on how many playlists you have, you may want to replace the songs in the playlists with AAC files, but if you don't have too many playlists with large files, it should not be a problem. Next, connect your iPod. Go to File>Preferences>iPod Tab Choose automatically update selected playlists only. Then select all the playlists, including the smart playlists, you want to sync onto your iPod. This will sync all the files in your library, excluding those in the large format.
Pros: You get the best of both world. You have all the lossless files on your computer, and all the AAC files on your iPod.
Cons: You take up a lot of file space on your computer when you virtually duplicate your library.

So I added about 200 songs to my iTocuh yesterday, and it has been stuck on the "updating library" screen under Music ever since then. I did add the music in stages - as in, I added some songs, then got some more and plugged the iPod in again (maybe this has something to do with it). I would restore the iPod, but I have music on it that is not on my Macbook and I don't want to lose that music. Help please!
Correction: I plugged my iPod back into my mac, it backed up/updated etc. and now when I go to my music, it returns me to the home screen. What is going on!?

I can't do the update it says I don't have enough storage it wont even let me download apps, I have very little on my Ipad i only have 1 song 24 apps 623 photos 96 videos and this has 13 GB
The 96 videos are probably the space hog.
How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

I have an iPod Video, 5th Generation - a few years old aye, but it does the job. Recently it crashed and wouldn't respond at all, I tried the 5 R's and the iPod wouldn't restore at all. Finally I managed to restore it, but then encountered a new problem.
When I try to put new music onto the iPod the maximum I can really add is about 15/16 songs (currently sitting about 112 MB). I can use the iPod just fine with this on it, but I can't add any songs or anything past this limit. I can take songs off and add new ones on, but again cannot pas this limit.
It is a 30GB hard drive, so I should be able to load near enough 30GB onto it.
Whenever I try to pass the limit and add new songs a message saying "Attempting to copy to the disk "RUSSELL'S I" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69).", and then a second message pops up reading "iTunes could not copy "Song" to the iPod because an unknown error occurred (-69)."
Looking to find out, does this mean my Hard Drive is broken/damaged, or could it possibly be a different issue, as buying a new hard drive is reasonably cheap, but if it turns out to be the motherboard or something else then I don't want to have wasted the money buying a new HDD only to find out the problem hasn't been fixed.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or anybody found a way to fix it?
Cheers
RussellSee here: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod
You can use the disk diagnostic tool built into the iPod's firmware to test the health of it's Hard Drive. See this post from another forum member turingtest2 on how to do this as well as what the resulting numbers mean.

I use to have over 8,700 songs stored in icloud and all my devices recognized them fine. Then one day everything erased and then about 200-300 came back, on their own and then a. Kills more hundred came back and I'm up to 600 but now I can't find anymore of my music in iCloud.
Jesus Christ,
Pretty sure He doesn't answer questions here...
Go to the top of the iTunes window and put the cursor over track name. Click the arrow to the right of the now playing track name and Go to Song. -
My 2G ipod only holds about 40 songs
Can anyone help me here?? I can not fit any more songs on my ipod and I only have 42. It is brand new, it is 2G. The box said like 250 songs? What am I doing wrong? Is it because I have all of my itunes in wave format? If so how do I convert it back??? Pleeeease help me!!!!!!!
Bear in mind that Apple quotes the number of songs you are able to store on any iPod by using the AAC format at a bitrate setting of 128kbps and for a 4 minute song.
Look in iTunes under edit/preferences/advanced/importing. What does it say in settings and import using? You may have the import settings and bitrate set wrong. You need to compress your music using either mp3 or aac. If you see AIFF, WAV or Apple Lossless then those formats are going to take way more space than mp3 or aac, especially the first 2 which are raw uncompressed formats.
See this.

IPod only updates around 80 songs - then goes dead
What to do...
My ipod mini only uploads around 75 songs and then slows down in uploading taking up to about 10 minutes for one song. When it reaches around 80 songs it cuts out.
I've reset my ipod, uploaded the new software and such to no avail.
Can anyone help...please?
ipod mini Windows XPYou could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can also work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
If you need to, reset the iPod to exit disk mode. -
HELP...only playing a few songs
I use my ipod on a daily basis and when I have it on shuffle it only plays about 15 songs out of the 250 I have on it. How can I fix this problem? Please let me know ASAP! Thanks
this happened to mine too! i took it in to the apple store and what the girl said was that you have to individually drag each song over to your ipod when its plugged in because some of the songs that you have may be defected, whether it be from downloading elsewhere or just a defective song. But you drag them over and if you dont see the song transferring on top where the song information usually is when it plays, then its a defective song and you have to delete it. Its a pain in the butt at first, but then its better once it over and done with. By the way, you have to click "manually transfer" on the screen when you click on your ipod or it wont work. Just do this with every song, and itll be good to go!

My MacBook Pro HD crashed. It is all up and runmning except for one issue. I have about 200 songs on my iPhone but have only gotton 53 back on my laptop from my iPhone and those are the songs I purchased via iTunes. How do I get the rest of the songs from my iPhone back onto my HD.
The songs I'm not able to import casme from CD's. Nothing from napster etc.
I've tried and tried to import them rom iTunes vis "Library" " Import"Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.
