  • My ipod touch say cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the library but I have 10 gb of space left

    My ipod touch shows 10.1 gb of memory, but when I try to transfer a movie from my computer to ipod touch I get a error message that says "Cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the itunes library, additional 5.81 gb required. 
    I have had as many as 3-4 movies on here plus my music and had no problem, there are no other movies on my ipod.  Wasssup???  I am 66 years old, can build a house or a car engine, but for the life of me I don't understand this stuff....Help!!

    Unless the move is about 16 GB, you are trying to sync more that the movie to your iPod. I would look carefull at awhat is checked to sync to the iPod.
    Also how big is the "other" category as shown in the colored bargraph in iTunes?

    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!

  • IPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library

    Hi, I have just transferred my whole iTunes library from my old computer to my new one and am trying to sync my iPod to the new one. However I get an error message saying "iPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library (additional 5.38GB required). I currently have 8.5GB free on my iPod so I don't understand why it cannot sync.

    Hey Georgiarose94, If what's going on, is what I think it is, when you sync the information it's over written, it can take 2 to 3 times more space the get the info on your iPod, once it's there the info only occupies the space it needs. Kind if of like moving, when you first step in the room with boxes of stuff there's no room. But after you get everything put away all is well. If you haven't already, connect your iPod to your computer, from your iPod Summary page, go down to Options and check reduce bit rate to (select 128 kbps). (Wording maybe a little different). Will greatly reduce memory space needed on your iPod, and you really do not hear the difference in sound quality. Other option, go to music and select manual so you can pick which music you place on the iPod. You need to reduce by 5.38GB of information to finish your download. Hope this helps. Cheers.

  • IPod can't be synced  because there is not enough free space?

    At first, my iPod couldn't be synced because 'playlists doesn't exist'(there's another forum about this and apparently this comment helped a lot of people...
    "Click on your 'DEVICE' on the left in ITUNES,
    click the music tab and where it says Sync Music, hit the all songs and playlist radio button.... worked for me, hope that helps...."
    So I did just that, but then songs still won't go in my iPod because...
    When I click device and go to the music tab, I clicked 'all songs and playlists' then clicked apply. This message shows up:'...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (2.99 GB required, 51.2 MB available)'
    By the way, my iPod's supposed to store 1,000 songs/4 GB, and at this moment, my iTunes has about 700-800 something songs, that only takes up about 2-3GB.
    At the bottom part in device, it says this...
    Capacity - 3.77 GB
    Audio - 851 KB
    Other - 3.71 GB
    Free Space - 51.2 MB
    I basically don't get it. Isn't it supposed to store 4 GB and more than 2-3 GB? I feel so stupid, but anyway...
    Should I delete more songs or is there really something wrong? Before my songs disappeared in my iPod, all the songs could fit into it, even more than what I have in my iTunes now. What's wrong?
    Message was edited by: 8uh7yg

    When you say restore it, do you mean restore the one in iTunes or restore my iPod itself? The press the circle button then press menu for a long time in my iPod? I already did that.
    It says 174.32. I only have about 700 something songs because I tried deleting some to see if deleting some songs would help fix the problem but no. It's strange because before all my songs and playlists disappeared in my iPod, I even had more songs in my iPod than what I have in iTunes now.
    About 15-30 minutes ago, I was able to put only about 9-10 songs in my iPod because it says it doesn't have enough free space. It's so strange, it really frustrates me.

    Ah, it has been mentioned daily esp since iOS 5 / iTunes 10.5 but has always been there as an issue.
    Order of attempts:
    Repair the installers
    Uninstall EVERY Apple component (auto and manual)
    Services: Restart all 3 Apple items (AMS, Bonjour, iPod)
    I* always do the last almost, then launch iTunes, and only then connect iPod.
    IF you see a yellow alert in Devices and Printers or in Device Manager, then I could find NO WAY to fix or repair other than a clean OS. Something messed up the device driver support.
    If/when Windows asks "what to do when it detects iPod"? don't chose any default action, to me, based on hunch and 3 PCs, that seems to mess AMS up for some reason.
    Tried with Windows 7 64-bit Pro and Home Premium, and also Deve Preview 8 (which other than the inability to update iOS to 5.0 seems to run better -- except when it comes to AMS thing! so seems Apple is not on the same page writitng drivers.

  • Songs on the iPod can't be synced because of all the playlists selected for

    when i plug my iPod in a message pops up and says "songs on the iPod can't be synced because of all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
    i've read what other people have put on this topic and when i click on the music tab under my iPod nothing happens. please help!

    You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
    Uncheck "Match the following rule"
    Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
    When you want to change the selection in the playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection

  • "The ipod could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"  What does this mean?

    When syncing on iTunes, the syncing meter runs in iTunes in my computer but nothing appears in my device (It should have Sync In Progress).  Whenever I edit my music files (editing title, album and artwork), it edits in iTunes but when I eject my device, nothing's changed.  My device is a 3rd Gen iTouch and this is my second 3rd gen iTouch unit.  I lost my first unit and am familiar with how it operates so I do not understand what is causing this.  The 4 view option buttons "show items in a song list... etc" (beside the search field, upper right corner) won't work. Now in my 3rd attempt to sync, as i right click on my ipod name in iTunes to select sync, this appears ,"The ipod could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" and my only option is to click OK.  Please help.  My apps are kinda slow too and theres a slight delay opening files and apps in my iTouch.

    Hi Stephanie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're going to have to put the iPad in to recovery mode before you can restore it. The article linked below provides more details about the passcode lock and will walk you through putting the process of restoring from recovery mode.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Use recovery mode
    Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK, then restore the device.
    Cheers!
    -Jason

  • Error message help: "The iPod "CKK's iPod" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."

    Just made one very simple move without having to restore iPhone or reinstall iTunes..
    1st step:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 *Read 'in my case' in here first before following this link*
    Follow that link to restart (or if necessary) reinstall your Apple mobile device support.
    In my case, Leave iPhone connected all the way. I first exit iTunes. Then i stopped the Apple Mobile device support (by following a part on that link above in step 1) which Effectively made my iPhone undetectable on itunes but discoverable by windows as a 'camera device'. Then while device is still connected, i started the Apple mobile dev support again. Now i open itunes and there my iPhone re-appears.
    2nd step: After your iphone re-appears on iTunes, press Sync and all is well...
    P.S, Mine is iPhone 4 running on iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, Windows 7..

  • The iPod "Username iPod" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish.

    Is there any solution to failed iPod syncs with the following error message;
    "The iPod “Username’s iPod” could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."
    I tried the Apple Support article at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3697 without any improvement at all. I noticed this article had a problem when the sync I executed to remove all the photos from the iPod failed. Then subsequent syncs to resotre the photos also fail.
    I have about 15,000 photos, but there should be plenty of room on my 64GB 4th generation iPod.
    I started having this problem after ugrading to iOS5. Very, very frustrating.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Disconnect the iPhone... Restart your Computer... Restart your Phone... Try again.
