No room on nano

HELP IVE ONLY GOT 98 SONGS ON MY NANO AND IT KEEPS COMING UP NO MORE ROOM FOR MORE WHATS GOING ON ITS A 4GB



Welcome to the discussions. 

It's probably because you have the import settings and bitrate set wrong. Look in iTunes under edit/preferences/importing. What does it say in settings and import using? 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. Bear in mind that Apple quotes the number of songs you are able to store on any iPod by using aac at 128kbps for a 4 minute song.

  • Nano screens are delayed when clicking through

    Hello
    My Nano has had this issue and I don't know if this is normal or not. When I click through screens, often the next screen is delayed in popping up like a hesitation. I think it is more noticeable when a song is playing.
    When I click the next screen it sometimes hesitates, then the whole screen appears redrawn. Is this normal operation for these ipods? I think I only am noticing it recently.
    By the way I just updated to iTunes 7 and restored my ipod to factory settings. But I haven't seen any difference.
    Also in previous versions of iTunes, if your library was bigger than the ipod a dialog box came up asking if you wanted iTunes to automatically create a playlist for you. There doesn't seem to be this option in 7, only a box that says there isn't enough room!

    For the messages in iTunes when your library is too big: That could just be a software change in iTunes related to the new way to update your iPod in iTunes 7.
    For the lag: How long is it taking? The iPod might not respond instantly, but it shouldn't take longer that 1/2 second to 1 second to respond if the iPod isn't doing anything. If it's doing something (you just disconnected it from the computer, loading notes, sometimes music, etc) then there might be a short delay.
    The iPod shouldn't be stalling to the point where it stops in between switching menus.

  • Can not update iPod Nano, brand new and error says there is not enough room

    I just purchased my son a 1 gig nano. After registering and setting up options for updates. I got a message saying that it could not update because there wasn't enough room. I was trying to download less than 100 songs and all of them have been downloaded from iTunes. I have already completed the "5R's" as suggested in the troubleshooting section and it still will not update. iTunes recognizes his iPod, all software has been updated, I've reset and restarted. Very frustrated and my 11 year old is very devestated. Could someone please help?
    Thank you

    There's not an actual limit number to the ammount of songs that any iPod can hold. It's all size dependant. You might have simply downloaded a lot of large songs. When you're in iTunes check at the bottom of the screen to see how many megs or gig they actually take up. And keep in mind a 1 gig iPod isn't actually 1 gig. There is always a bit of space used up by system files and whatnot.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

    You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available.  You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

  • My iPod Nano 6th generation iLive speaker system quit on me and now I cannot find a compatible speaker system.  I don't want tiny personal speakers, I use this for music in the family room.

    I have 2 iPod Nano 6th generation.  I had them setup with different music from iTunes and I had an iLive Bluetooth docking and speaker system that charged and played them with speakers spaced in the family room.  Not a little personal setup but for reasonably loud music for the whole room.  My iLive system died on me.  It had the 20 pin place to plug in the iPod nano and a clock and the two speakers that were bluetooth.  It was the perfect setup for me.  Now that model has been discontinued and I cannot find anything like it.  Does anyone know what a good option is?  These iPods are only a couple of years old and now obsolete because they don't make anything to play them on.  I don't use earbuds, it's not what I bought them for.  One has our jazz music collection, the other has Christmas music.  I want to hear it throughout the house.

    Sorry typo it had a 30 pin place to plug in the iPod Nano

  • Ipod Nano - Not enough room

    Have gone through every forum I can find and have found no solutions. I had my 16gb iPod Nano stolen. Bought a new one (refurbished). Trying to sync with itunes with the exact same playlist and it says there is not enough room. Have restored 4 times to no avail.
    Converting songs to 128kbps
    Have unchecked all videos and podcasts
    Only have one playlist selected.
    Status bar at the bottom says I have plenty of room but as soon as I hit "sync" the status bar jumps to completely full and get error message that it cannot sync because there isn't enough room. I have deleted about 100 songs and still get same problem. As I said I had the exact same iPod before and had used the exact same playlist on older 16gb model with no problem whatsoever. Fit all songs with room to spare.
    Any ideas? Am thinking I got a lemon.

    This is the image I get before hitting sync. Then it immediately jumps to completely full.

  • Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash.  When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
    Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod.  If you are, there is a better way.  You can post back if you want more info...

  • I tried deleting some songs off my ipod nano in order to make some room for new ones, an 'error' window popped up and the album artwork was deleted along with the song, but the blank cover and name still shows up? Help!

    yeah, clue's in the name?

    Ouch, tough spot, but offhand I'd say some memory may have gone bad, or maybe just needs re-seating after all this time.
    Not much you can do, but try this anyway...

  • IPOD NANO compatible with Windows Media Player????

    Hey guys,
    I realize this may be a really dumb posting but I'm looking at purchasing a iPod Nano but my concerns are about how you load your music onto the ipod. I currently have all my music in my Windows Media Player but the ipod webiste says that I have to use the iTunes program. Any information or clarification would be greatly appreciated as I debate such a large purchase! Thanks!
      Windows XP  

    Ok, I am definitely very technologically challenged, and I got a nano for christmas, and I have no idea how to get my music files from windows media player to itunes. I use limewire, which then puts all files in Media player, but my roomie accidentally deleted all my music from limewire, so now all that is in my itunes is all the music he downloaded from limewire after he deleted the library. Please help!!! I really wanna use my nano!!
    Thanks

  • Ipod Nano Compatibility with Ipod Universal Dock and Remote

    I have an 8GB Black 2nd Gen iPod Nano. I want to connect it to my stereo. I was told that the Apple Ipod Universal Dock would be a good solution.
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=6C0 4E07A&nplm=MA045G/C
    The website says that it is compatible with my nano, so no big deal right? I just wanted to make sure it would work fine with my iPod nano before I went and bought one. Does it come with the AV cable to connect the dock to my stereo / tv? DOes the dock have a graphical menu interface like some of the third party docks/remotes have?
    Also, will the Apple Ipod Remote work with the universal dock?
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=BB5 E48CD&nplm=MA128G/A
    The apple store website says that everything will be compatible, but I wanted confirmation from someone who has actually owned this or knows about this.
    Can you offer any better docks/remotes ideas?

    I was looking at the review CNET had for that Kensington dock.
    http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-player-accessories/kensington-entertainment-dock-500 /4505-6519_7-31631868.html?tag=uolst
    I had a question about part of the review though, I am not sure I am understanding it correctly.
    "We were impressed by the remote's ability to take control of our iPod; most of the third-party iPod-dock remotes we've seen only pause the music or video, skip tracks, and adjust the volume, not browse the menus. That said, the Entertainment Dock still isn't perfect. When you navigate the menus, your TV screen will be blank, so you must rely on the iPod's screen for your visual cues. Our other gripe is that the remote seems cheaply designed: The buttons on our review model looked misaligned (if usable), while the battery cover was annoyingly difficult to pry open. We got about 30 feet of range from the remote, which is more than adequate for most living rooms."
    So this means that even though the remote can navigate the menus on the iPod, you wont be able to see what you are doing unless you go to the screen of your iPod?

  • Cannot delete music from ipod nano if not connected!

    I couldn´t believe it´s not possible to delete files from my ipod nano 4G when not connected to my PC !! I use it to record talks (w/ XtremeMac´s MicroMemo) and I needed to make some room to record important talks in a seminar and I found it´s impossible to delete some downloaded music! It´s unbelieveable such simple and useful feature is not implemented yet even in this (otherwise excellent) newest generation ipod!!!
    Would it be likely a future firmware with this feature?

    "Would it be likely a future firmware with this feature?"
    No one here would know what future upgrades Apple have planned and they don't as a rule pre-announce what will be contained in Firmware updates. You can leave your feedback/feature request at this link: Apple Product Feedback

  • Mystery- how has my old nano been updated with my new playlists in iTunes when I haven't synced it?

    I got given a 2gb nano in 2005, which I filled up with imported cd music, not wanting an Apple account and not wanting to pay for music that I already have on cd (was in music industry for years, and like to own the physical product rather than a download that then needs backing up). Anway, lovely bf has bought me a 7th gen 160gb pod for Xmas, so I was merrily organising playlists and preparing to load the whole 45gb of music onto my new shiny ipod. Got my old nano out yesterday, and found that all the playlists that were there have been replaced by the first few new playlists I've made in iTunes. I am not using Match, or thieving Cloud, and I haven't had the nano anywhere near the computer for the last 3 or 4 years! I don't remember registering the nano with Apple, but the new one has definitely been registered (several conversations with Apple because Amazon sent us a "new" iPod that had already been opened, language and clock set to Australian time (the London clock said 9.47pm  YESTERDAY), and replaced it with another "new" one with the same issues (replacement hadn't even been shrinkwrapped, just the bare and slightly battered box).
    Is this something that the cloud has done? And if so, how come it's done it to my baby nano, and not to the new Classic 160gb? It means it ran out of space, so effectively it's wiped off all the music that has been on there for years, and replaced it with as much as it could fit on, working from the top of the playlist list........
    Having read about how the cloud nicks things and won't let you access them if you disconnect from cloud (not that I'm aware of having connected to the **** thing anyway), I'm now going to have to do a back up so that when I tell cloud to bog off, I can still copy any missing music back into iTunes.
    Has anyone got an explanation for how my nano's content has been changed without me doing anything except changing my playlists in iTunes, and has it happened to anyone else?
    Also, why did nobody at Apple stop to thing that "pushing" data to all your Apple devices is bound to cause problems when each device's capacity is so different from the others? My iPad is the first and small one (32gb I think), the nano is 2gb, my new Pod is 160gb, and what's in iTunes is 35gb. It's also tried to put my music library onto the iPad, announced there wasn't room (I had already selectively downloaded some music on to it when I got it 2 years ago), and wiped off all the music that was on that. It currently says there's nothing on it BUT also says it's full. I'm not very happy with Apple at the moment!
    The only device listed in iTunes is the iPad, dated as Xmas 2010. Should I remove that from there?
    iTunes is ALWAYS set to "prevent automatic sync" because until now, I haven't had a device with sufficient capacity to put the whole library on to, so even if I had plugged the nano in, I would have had to have selected the whole library in order for this mysterious over-writing to have happened.
    Answers, anyone?
    Thanks in advance :-)

    When iTunes removed the ping feature they replaced it with an internal check on feeds - based on the frequency of new episodes - so your feed may take a week or more to show up the changes.
    http://www.nobodydanceshere.com/blog/feed/podcast/
    Looking at your feed it is showing a last build date of 5/26/2012 - so the next time iTunes checks your feed it should update your info. 
    But since it has been since 2010 since your last update - you do need to wait a bit before iTunes checks your feed again.

  • How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

    hi,
    i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
    1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
    2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
    Thank you!!

    I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
    The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.

  • The iPod Nano that I just bought was supposed to be a 16 GB, but it only shows a capacity for 247 MB.  ***!

    For having only had this thing opened and out for maybe little over an hour, I've already run into some pretty serious aggravation.  According to the numerous error messages I'm getting, there's not enough room on my BRAND NEW IPOD NANO for the 1.89 GB worth of stuff in my iTunes library.  According to the Nano settings, the capacity is listed at 247 MB and the available space is 226 MB.  I want to know just why so much of my storage space went for whatever other purposes the manufacturers had in mind, since I specifically bought this due to its advertised storage capacity of 16 GB.  Is this a glitch and do I need to take it back to have it looked at?  I've seen in other discussion threads about how the advertised storage capacity isn't what the user ends up with, but I'd like to know just why there's so much less space on this new Nano when I haven't even been able to load anything onto it yet. 
    I'm not exactly technically inclined, but this experience with a product that I just blew $150 bucks on is starting to make me consider taking it back for a damned refund.
    Please, somebody help me!   

    First of all, you need to separate out "the advertised capacity/usable capcity" figure from the issue you are experiencing. It's two differnt things
    The way that memory is determined and the memory used by your iPod for itself, is probably about 1.5-2Gb, leaving you with about 14GB or a little less. So in effect, the advertised capacity is 16GB, and the usable capcity is 14Gb or slightly less. If you only have 247MB, we need to work out where the problem lies.
    If you connect your iPod to your iTunes Library, you will notice the Device appear on the left hand side window. Select the Device (that's your iPod) and look on the Summary pane. At the bottom, is a bar showing how much room there is on your iPod and what amount of memory is being used by the various things on your iPod. For example, the capacity of the iPod, audio, video, photos and "other", free.
    What are the figures for each of these items, on your iPod?
