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...

512 MB ipod will only hold 487 MB of songs/data

My 512 MB ipod will only hold 487 MB of songs/data, even when everything has been deleted off of it, and it has been restored. is there any way i can get rid of this extra "other" info on my ipod to use all 512 MB for songs? thanks

i think that woul be removing the ipod software and the file structure which allows the ipod to function. ex, i just bought a 300GB hard drive for my pc, when i get properties on this drive it reads as a 279GB hard drive (maybe its the partition table, ntfs stuff etc.)

IPod Nano only holds 75 songs

My iPod Nano will only hold 75 songs. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? It also skips songs that I've downloaded from iTunes.

Kind: Protected AAC audio file
Sizes range from 2.8 - 4.4
Bitrate is all 128 kbps
Thanks.
Play one or more in iTunes and you'll get a chance to "authorize".
About the 75 on your nano, do the same File>Get info>Summary on several of them.
Otherwise just restore your nano and that should give you the space back... however if the songs are AIFF or WAV that may be reason for it only holds 75. Those encodings take LOTS of space.

Strange, but if it's under a yr. old, you should still have a warranty on it, and Apple can replace it for you.

IPod will only play "legit" songs after Vista upgrade

iPod 80 GB
Windows Vista Business
iTunes 7.1.1
Ever since I upgraded to Vista, my iPod will only play songs I personally ripped from CD's or bought from iTunes.
I do have songs downloaded from other sources (friend's bands sites) and the ipod starts to play them for one second and then the "time bar" goes fully blue and the song doesn't play.
It took me a full restore and reload to figure out that it was only the downloaded songs that wouldn't play.
Thanks in advance.

Quite a number of people have had similar issues because the songs are MP3/AAC using VBR (variable bit rate) and the VBR tags are not correct.

Ipod will only play single songs

i am not extremely adept with technology but i know some basics, i'm having trouble with my 30GB ipod video, it will only play single songs, if i choose an artist with more then one song in that category it automatically zooms through them all rapid fire and then returns to the main menu... i have no idea why or how this is happening, is it possible i have a virus of some type? if so, how can i get rid of it or fix this problem? i have tried resetting it several times and syncing several times, nothing has changed.... also my second problem is that the videos i have on my ipod will play but they do not play any sound...i am more concerned with the first problem tho. if anyone could offer some advice or help it would be greatly appreciated.

Do the songs play in the iTunes? However, usually if an iPod scrolls through all of the songs instead of playing them it is a software issue. I'd try restoring the iPod to factory settings and syncing the music again.

Also, with your second issue. Where are the videos from? If they were something you imported on your own check this out:

IPod nano only holds 22 songs

New user - I put some songs I already had on my computer on the nano - it only held 22 songs - I know it is due to the format AIF - can I now convert to AAC or MP3? How? I transferred to iBook G4 with iTunes - tho't it converted to AAC by default - I need more than 22 songs on the nano. Do I have to redo from CD? Thanks for any help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Yes, you will need to convert your music to AAc or MP3 (both are compatible on an iPod).
See these two links about your kind of situation, and see if they help:
How much stuff will fit on my iPod?
My song files are too big for my small iPod
Or, it could be an issue that you iPod has "fake" spaced that isn't truly used. Try restoring your iPod through the iPod Updater (go ahead and try this first):

Ipod will only Copy 3 songs at a time

After the upgrade to firmware 1.2.2 and iTunes 7.5, my iPod has been somewhat, how should I say, unusable. After 10 restores, trying out 5 usb ports on 2 PC's, 2 cables, a Windows Check Disk, a Command Prompt Check Disk and restoring my firmware back to 1.2.1, I have finally gotten the iPod to show up on my PC and store music. However, it will not sync. I have tried to copy the songs over manually, but I can only do 3 at a time. If I try to do more than 3, I get error (Unknown Error [-69]).
There's no problems with actual song files because when I get this error I can then (individually) move over that very song it just failed on with no problems. So, it seems that I can't move more than 3 songs at a time. I have 11,000 songs to move over. Since the upgrade problems and subsequent restore wiped out my iPod, this would be an extremely tedious problem. Could it be the port on my iPod itself?
The Apple store is far from me and you have to make an appt way in advance. It's usually a nut-house in there. They told me to buy a new one. I couldn't believe my ears!!!! It's only 1 1/2 years old, and yes, out of warranty of course. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Win XP SP2 is running with all updates and I did try to reinstall/update all of my USB port drivers.

I forgot to add that I am currently running iTunes 6 (which was on the disc that the iPod came with) after completely uninstalling iTunes, Quicktime, iApple Mobile and Apple Software installs from Add/Remove Programs. I even use Windows Cleanup Utility to clean up the registry, but wasn't needed.
I'm a tech and I've put in at least 8 hours of time just to get to this point. And to think I blatantly announced to all of my PC tech buddies that this is the last PC I was going to own. I was intending to go all MAC from this point forward, but now I am not quite sure.

My I-Pod Nano (1G) will only hold 68 songs.

I purchased an i-Pod Nano yesterday. I have loaded the software and verified that all the software is up to date. When I plug in the i-Pod to transfer songs from the i-Tunes library, it tells me that I have already used 633 KB of software but my i-Pod is EMPTY. I have tried resetting the i-Pod numerous times. Please HELP -- I'm not sure what to try next except returning the i-Pod.

Try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

My IPod will only play the same song in the playlist. What is happening?

My Ipod will only play one song (over and over) in a play list. It was workig fine and then all of a sudden it continues to repeat. Please help.

Go to settings on the ipod itself and make sure on the option Repeat, it doesn't say "One". If it does, click on it until it's says "All" or "Off" - depending on what you prefer. If it isn't on repeat, reset it -if you haven't already; but that's usually everyone's first instinct when there's a problem so I assume you already have. If none of this works, you may have to restore it. If restoring it is something you want to leave as an absolute last resort, go to an apple store or something and ask a professional.
Hope this helps

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. (is this what you meant by charger?)
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

Ipod will only play 5 or so songs

This problem began only a few months after my purchase. My ipod will play a few songs and shut off. Sometimes the shuffle function will not work. I tried my friend's ipod on my computer but the same thing happened. I tried putting songs onto a CD and reloading them back into a playlist, and that worked for awhile but things are getting worse again. I keep downloading the latest itunes, and restoring my ipod thinking that will help but it does not.

It is 1st generation shuffle. I took it to Circuit City and they put some songs on. It seemed to work, but I just forwarded through the songs and did not play them all the way through. This is a problem that gets worse as time goes on. A new batch of songs will play through for awhile, then gradually the batch that the ipod will play gets smaller and smaller until there are only a few songs left that will play. I did not test the Circuit City songs thoroughly so I will go back and try it again. Thanks for response!

I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes. Any solutions?

I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes. Any solutions?

The point is that there are four i product users for one computer in my house, and not everyone wants the same music on their device. Like I said before, the ipod is not syncing to the new library even though I plug it in when the new itunes library is pulled up. It keeps syncing to the old library...
