New 32gb ipod with only 26.4 gb available?

So I got a new ipod and it says the capacity is 28 gb but I bought a 32gb and it says the total available storage is 26.4gb. First of all, it's 32gb and I understand if it becomes leveled down because of software (btw i did not software update) so that's 5gb off. Now it is new.. But it says only available storage is 26 gb.. So where did the 2gb get lost?? Also I did not do software update so i had lost 7gb.. I think that is a big difference and I think this is cheating..

What about this>?
"Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage usage of the iPod as shown in the colored bargraph in iTunes."
Did you download the update? What does the update have to do with anything??
If you downloaded the update it may have been corrupted and thus taking up storage. The values shown in the colored bargrapgh of storage use should show if that is the problem.

Newer 32GB iPod Touch no longer connects to MacBook.

My newer 32GB iPod Touch no longer connects to my MacBook at all. All has worked fine until yesterday. All cables and USB port check out fine with older iPod. Touch still works beautifully but charge is dwindling. Since it's not recognized by MacBook no charge icons show up. I ran the trouble shooting pages in Apple Support, did all the resets, repaired permissions, reinstalled iTunes, etc. Any suggestions out there? Thanks!

Whenyou plug the iPod into the computer via USB does the iPod's screen show the iPod is charging? (The computer has to be on)
Look at the dock connecort on the iPod and compare it with the dock connector for the iPod that does work. Look for foreign material, bent, broken or corroded contacts and other abnormalities.

I have a 2GB IPOD with only 385 songs on it. I downloaded 2 CD's to iTunes but when I try and sync the IPOD I'm getting an error message indicating there isn't enough space. I thought a 2GB would hold at least 500 songs.

I have a 2GB IPOD with only 385 songs on it. I downloaded 2 CD's to iTunes and when I try and sync the IPOD I'm getting an error message that says I don't have enough free space. I thought a 2GB IPOD held at least 500 songs. I've even deleted songs from from iTunes library.

The figures that Apple used to use when saying how many songs coud fit onto any particular iPod were based on a 4 minute song at a Bit Rate of 128Kbps and that's the bit rate that songs sold by iTunes used to be in. However, now the iTunes Store sells songs at 256Kbps (as do many other MP3 stores) - which means that each song now uses twice as much storage space than before.
So if your songs have a bit rate of higher than 128Kbps, and/or they are all longer than four minutes each, that's why 385 songs is filling up your iPod. You can check how much space is being used when the iPod is connected to iTunes Library. Look on the Device panes for the capacity bar at the bottom of the window. How much space is being used by Music?
The solution is either:
Use iTunes to make 128Kbps versions to go onto your iPod - or,
Sync the iPod using Playlists and then choosing which Playlists you want on it. Smart Playlists may be the answer - you can set Smart Playlists up so that they automatically add and remove songs from your iPod, so that there is a constant change of songs (according to the rules you set)

HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ]

2nd Generation ipod Touch

Hello, Tommyty,
I am sorry you have lost your iPod. You don't yet seem to understand that its serial number is not tracked electronically. Here is my attempt at explaining the same thing that Limnos and stevejobsfan0123 have already told you.
Tommytj wrote: ... HT1349 how can you track you ipod with only serial number ] ...
Only by physically looking at the iPod's serial number.
Tommytj wrote: i need to find my ipod can anyone help me find a way to track my ipd touch with only a serial number using icloud.
No.
Nobody can help you with that request because iCloud and "Find My iPod touch" do not work that way.
If you cannot see the iPod, you cannot track its serial number. Unless someone sees the serial number, nobody can track it.
Regardless of whether you have properly installed and enabled "Find My iPod touch", iCloud does not track your iPod's serial number. This is true even when you or someone else can see your iPod's serial number.
Regardless of how much you wish iCloud could track your iPod's serial number, it cannot.
"Find My iPod touch" can sometimes track an iPod's location but only under the specific circumstances Limnos has already explained to you.
If "Find My iPod touch" cannot locate your iPod by its location, there is no iCloud way to find it. In that case, the only way to identify your missing iPod is for you or someone else to physically look at it.
Perhaps you will be successful with one of these alternative possibilities for recovering your iPod:
• you can physically search and find your misplaced iPod
• someone may it returned in response to a reward that you offer
• the police may find it after you have reported it stolen

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 cant sync songs on a new computer because it'll replace my ipod with only the songs on that itunes

Every time I try to sync my music, it says itunes will replace ipod contents with contents from itunes library but i have alot of songs on there so I don't want to lose them. I do have a new computer but my old one is dead so I can't do that "home sharing" thing

- Transfer iTunes purchases to yur new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other stuff by using the information provided in this previous discusion:
Best iPod to PC
- They let iTunes erase your iPod and replace its contents with what is now in your itunes library.

HT1296 Hiya, I am thinking of buying my first Apple Ipod the new 32gb Ipod Touch. Will I be able to import the music that I currently have in the form of CDs and other music not purchsed from Itunes and if I can how do I go about doing this? I have heard

Hiya, Im thinking of buying my first ipod the Ipod Touch 32gb model. Will I be able to transfer the music I currently have stored in the form of CDs and already on my laptop onto the Ipod and if yes, how would I do this? I have heard from some friends that Apple and Itunes is notoriously limited in the types of formats that are accetable? I dont want to pay £249 on an Ipod only to find that Im locked into buying all my music from Itunes and I cant use the music that Ive already paid good money to buy from other sources. Many thanks for any help and advice that you may give me?

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

How to find lost iPod with only serial number

I let my friend use my iPod and she Lost it.I only have the serial number

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

How do I refill my 2 GB ipod with only music, not the "other" stuff

When I load songs on my ipod, more than half of my disc space is used by "other". I just want songs. This is the new 6th gen ipod. My older shuffle never had this issue.

The only options I have to check/uncheck are as follows:
1. Open iTunes when this iPod is connected
2. Sync only checked songs
3. Enable sound check
4. Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC
5. Manually manage music
6. Enable disc use
options 1, 2, 5 and 6 are checked

Broken ipod with only loud music. please help!

my friend and i had my ipod touch plugged into an auxiliary device hooked to the car radio..she accidentally sat on the cord and it broke off into the earphone slot. my dad easily got it out with a pair of small pliers, and i though hey problem solved!...not so much. i plug my earphones in, it only plays music aloud, not through them. if anyone knows or has any suggestions as to what i should do, please let me know! thanks!

If the plug is fully inserted then I wold say that the headphone jack in your iPod is damaged. You can get it repaired for $59 for 3G and earlier and $99 for 4G from this place:

Alternative is to use a BT headphone.

How can I migrate data to new Mac Pro with only 1 monitor

I am ready to set up my new Mac Pro. I know how to migrate my files from my G5 using Firewire and making the new computer a target disk. My problem is, I have only 1 monitor. Is there an easy way around this, OR of not, can I use my Macbook Pro just a monitor and if so how?

If you make the new computer a FireWire Hard drive, the only thing on its monitor will be the firewire symbol. You don't need a monitor to see that.
But if you did, you could start the new computer up first, look at the firewire symbol, get a warm fuzzy feeling, disconnect the monitor and plug it into the old computer to make the transfers.

Reinstalling Windows 7 to New Hard Drive with only the Win 7 Upgrade Disc?

So I have an e9180t which like clockwork freezes up after about an hour or two after booting up. I thought it might be the curse of the bad motherboards they came with, but I am hoping it is something else so testing everything I can. I noticed it does not freeze up when booted in safe mode with networking. The hard drive did fail the SMART test so I am wondering if it's time to replace it and if that has something to do with the crashing. I can move cursor, but no apps will open and eventually everything becomes unresponsive causing be tohit the power button to reboot. I already stopped all unnecessary start up programs and it still will freeze in non safe mode.
The PC came with Vista and I believe that's what is on the backup partition on the HD. I do have the Win 7 Upgrade disc from HP. My questons are-
1. If I buy a new HD will the 7 upgrade disc be enough to install full version of Win 7?
2. Anything else I need to do when I install new HD besides reactivate Windows?
Thanks.
This question was solved.

Hi Mike,
Did you create an HP recovery disc set for reinstalling the factory image when the HDD is replaced?
It sound like you may have a problem creating the recovery discs now.
A Smart HDD test failure points to a failing HDD. The symptoms you are experiencing are most likely caused by this fact. You may also have a motherboard or other hardware problem.
You have the Win 7 Upgrade disc and product key.
I am fairly sure the Win 7 upgrade has to be initiated from within Win Vista. The Win 7 upgrade is a full install of Windows so that is not the problem. But it may not run setup unless you start the upgrade in Win Vista. Normally a Win 7 upgrade is started within the current operating system, Win 7 setup validates the existence of a qualifying operating system, and then prompts a reboot to finish the upgrade installation.
You can replace the HDD and try to install Win 7 cleanly. If that fails and you don't have the Vista recovery discs you can purchase an HP recovery disc set here. There are three different builds available. Select the one that matches the factory installed operating system.
You may have one other issue upon replacing the HDD with a newer Advanced Format HDD. Please see this HP Support document for more information.
If you cannot install the Win 7 upgrade cleanly or Win Vista because of the Advanced Format HDD issue, you may have to purchase an OEM copy of Win 7.

I have a new 32gb ipod 4 that has a black screen and wont respond to reset. The screen shows no response to the charger either. How can I get it to turn on?

I have a new 32 gb ipod 4 that has a blcak screen. It wont respond to a hard reset, nor does it acknowledge that it is being charged. It was not dropped or damaged in any way. We are out of the country. Help

First, let's make sure that what you call a "hard reset" is a true system Reset...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
