My ipod looks empty but the memory is full of all my songs! HELP PLEASE
when I turn on my nano.. it's empty! So I plugged it into my USB port and it connects to my iTunes, and the screen is completely empty from all my songs! iPod seems totally blank. The only thing is I still have 3.33GB of space taken up.
So now I can't put all my songs on.. I can't delete the ones there cause there appears to be none! ahhh
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Black 4 gig nano Windows XP
It would appear that the iPod hard drive or iPod software has become corrupt. This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod reports used space and iTunes may show them.
You should restore the iPod and then reload the songs from iTunes.

I just bought a iPhone 4s from someone on-line, everything is working correctly however i cannot connect to any wifi, it says that it is unavailable, i know that it could be the wifi chip damaged but the phone is in almost perfect condition. Help please?
Help with what? If the WiFi radio is broken, there's nothing any of us on this forum can do help you. Either go to Apple and pay for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop and get the phone repaired.

MMy iPod is workin,but my charger no longer fixes all the way in the slot to recharge it. Want should I do. Thank you
Hey Lynette1234, As UbuntuXP stated check and clean the port of foreign debris. Lint packed in the bottom of the charging port is most often the problem, This seems to be more of an issue with the lighting ports used on the iPod 5. The following will help you clear / clean the lighting port on an iPod 5. Try using a strong light and a magnifying glass to look into the port, using a soft brush to carefully remove any debris, if you must a non-conductive probe may be needed, I find a round wooden toothpick work well. Avoid touching or bending the gold contact pins on the long side of the port. Damage them and you will have a costly repair. Also, make sure the silver lock springs (looks like silver bump on each end) on the short sides of the port are free to move, if not clear the debris. If the older 30 pin type, same thing avoid touching, bending the contacts, and remove all foreign debris. Many report a soft toothbrush works well or a toothpick. Avoid using solvents if the contact pins appear corroded, generally plugging / plugging the charger end , about 12 times will clean dirty contacts. If you must, a cotton swab cut to fit the port with a drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol on it, (you want the swab damp, NOT wet or dripping), will remove most any corrosion. simply run the swab in and out as if you were plugging it in until the swab comes out clean. May need to use more than one swab. But check for lint / foreign debris first. Good luck. Cheers.

IPod is empty but says it is full, iTunes won't recognize it
Hello,
I have a click wheel 4th (?) generation 80gb ipod. Yesterday my ipod froze so I attempted to reboot it. Instead of holding down the menu/centre keys at the same time, I held down play/centre keys by accident. Anyhow, the ipod restarted fine but when I scrolled down I noticed that there was no music! I thought I must have just erased everything somehow, but then when I checked the settings tab my ipod said it was completely full, not by songs though, or videos, but by "other". I connected it to my computer but itunes won't read it. It does appear in Windows Explorer and in My Computer though, but when I try to open it to see what's on the ipod both the programs freeze. I've tried all the restore methods I can, have switched to disc mode and diagnostic mode, etc, and have followed the steps listed in the reformat/restore articles on this site. I've also reinstalled the ipod drivers to make sure that it's connected to my computer normally (my computer recognizes it, and identifies it as an ipod, but itunes isn't interested in believing this apparently). I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to somehow restore or even format an ipod without using itunes. And also, if I was able to completely reformat my ipod (which would make it a blank piece of hardware, correct?) is it then possible to reload all the menu software, etc., just using itunes?
I realise that all my songs and files are certainly lost, but just getting it back functioning with itunes would surely make my day!
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
Adam.the bar at the bottom of itunes says (when ipod is
connected)
Used :1.82 GB =============== Free: 416 KB
I have nothing on any playlist or library on itunes
and my ipod had nothing on it. When i try to add
songs the message pops up saying i dont have enough
free space.
I have the same issue. I have updated software and restored Ipod...but it still says it has 1.82GB available (which is wierd because it's a 2GB model) and will only let me download 1.57GB.

is there something else I can do to get Pandora to play again?
The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.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.

mac bought friday,says the SSD memory is already finished, full, for more or less 100 GB of "other" but doesn't explain what it is... help please!
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal. -

When I print a Word for Mac document to a shared printer (that is connected to my iMac) from my Macbook Pro, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines. I have tried to adjust the margins and the page setup settings but to no avail. It used to print fine until recently. Is there a way to fix it so that the printer prints what print preview shows?
I should add that when I e-mail this document to myself and print it directky from the iMac, it prints fine.

I purchased an album a while ago and just got a new ipod so i downloaded all my purchases, and it all downloaded, but it downloaded the wrong songs. It says on the title that it is the correct song, but the audio is a completely different album. any help?
If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account. -
