Out of space on 4th generation 8gb ipod touch?

i am out of space on my ipod. i am already aware that the apps already downloaded by apple make the ipod hold less than 8gb, i still am confused as to why i am out of space. i only have 307 songs, 12 additional apps (half of them are big social networking apps such as facebook, twitter, instagram etc.), 108 photos, and 6 videos (each around 5 seconds). i do use imessage daily. what could be taking up so much space? my friend had over 700 songs on the same ipod and several gaming apps before she ran out of space on hers.

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
If the "other" is larger than about 1 1/2 GB tha means that i includes corrupted files.

  • Updating 4th Generation 8gb Ipod Touch to ios 6?

    Is it even possible?
    *facepalm*
    Stats:
    I currently have the recent 4.2.1 on it. That's as far as my itunes (11. version, the latest) is letting me take. It's not showing me any other possible route and I'm a little certain ios 6 should work on the 4th gen ipods.
    I really want ios 6
    Please help! Thanks v.v.much in advance.

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a fourth.

  • WHY WONT MY 3RD GENERATION 8GB IPOD TOUCH UPGRADE TO 4.3.3 ?

    I HAVE BEEN TRYING BUT ITUNES DOESNT SEEM TO SHOW THE MESSAGE THAT AN UPDATE IS AVALIABLE FOR YOUR IPOD TOUCH :S

    There never were any 3rd-generation 8GB iPod touches sold, the erroneous information given out by some dealers notwithstanding. You have a 2nd-generation iPod touch as far as the hardware goes, so the last version of iOS your device will be able to run is iOS 4.2.1.

  • I have a 4th generation 32gb ipod touch

    I have a 4th generation 32gb ipod touch, the power ran out this morning and as i put it on charge, it shows a red battery and the ac power sign but will not turn on or charge. I have tried rebooting it, holding down the power button. Any advice?

    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.
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    also
    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - 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.

  • Why does my 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch not pick up on ios 5 update?

    Why does my 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch not pick up on ios 5 update?

    I know you are not apple though I believe I still have apoint. As you can see the release date for these two iPod touches is differentby about a year. My iPod was sold as an apple iPod touch 8 GB third generation,and as I can see from this page and many others have experienced this. I wouldcomplain to apple though there seems to be no actual way to do this withouthaving to fork out for additional support, which is unacceptable also my iPodwas bought form a reliable UK retailer. It is not just the seller who names itas a 3rd generation I have also included a print screen of a trade in offerfrom a large phone shop site:

  • 4th gen 8gb ipod touch tiny memory

    I have a 4th gen 8gb ipod touch and I can only put around 28 albums on, my dad has a 3rd gen 8gb ipod touch and can put 58+ albums on it, why is my memory so small in comparison?

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.

    Also, the music can have different compression. You can go to the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes and check the box that says "Convert higher bitrate songs to XX kbps ACC. A good compression is 128

  • Difference between 2nd generation and 3rd generation 8Gb iPod touch

    Hello,
    I recently won a 2nd generation 8Gb iPod Touch (Part No. MB528LL/A) that I would like to sell. I want to be able to tell the buyer the differences between the 2nd generation model and the 3rd generation model. According to Wikipedia in regards to the 3rd generation model:
    "The 8 GB version is a reissue of the 2nd generation iPod touch hardware, includes OS version 3.x, but does not include support for Voice Control or the remote earphones with microphone."
    According to Wikipedia in regards to the 2nd generation model:
    "iPhone OS 2.0 and App Store access standard. Bluetooth support added but not made active until iPhone OS 3.0, which requires an upgrade fee."
    Does anyone know if these statements are true? Are there any other differences? Is the 2nd generation model more or less desirable than the 3rd generation?
    Thanks in advance!

  • 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch

    How much would a 3rd generation ipod touch 8gb be worth today?

    *Sigh!*

    You are wrong, sir or ma'am. 
    There is an 8gb iPod touch. It does have a different video speck than the 16 and larger iPod touches. I know because I worked for an authorized Apple dealer during this time and had to be certified on the product line. 
    Not in 3rd generation, there isn't! This topic has been aired over and over again. Apple have never marketed a 3rd generation Touch with 8GB capacity. Never!
    Non-Apple retailers may have done so, but Apple have not.
    Look at this iPod identification chart from the following article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353:

    please note the a1288 was branded as a 3rd gen.

    From the same article mentioned above:
    A1288 is 2nd generation. It's there - in black and white. Or you can check out the full article for yourself.

    As for its worth, I sold mine on eBay for about $100 a year ago.
    But it was not a 3rd generation model. If you sold a Model No. A1288 as 3rd generation, you better hope the buyer doesn't come back to you for mis-representation.

  • I just bought a 4th gen 8GB iPod touch ,won't connect to iTunes/iStore I've been told by support that I have to have a WiFi network.  We travel in an RV, never near a WiFi network.I have a USB Telstra mobile b'band dongle. How can  I get iPod to work

    th gen. 8GB iPod Touch.  It won't connect to iStore. Support say it has to have access to a WiFi network. We travel a lot in an RV and rarely have access to WiFi.  I connect the iPod to a laptop which has a Telstra USB mobile broadband  dongle.  I explained this in detail and was told by the sales assistant that the iPod would work on this setup.  It doesn't.  Has anyone got around this problem?

    Go back to the sales assistant and gently place the iPod where...  well, you get the idea.

  • Will my 3rd generation 8gb iPod Touch support ios 5?

    Will ios 5 besupported on 8gb third generation iPod touch even though the latter instalments of ios 4 were not?

    Anyone who purchased their 8GB touch that was advertised as a 3rd Generation may want to go back to where your purchased it. I had all of my original packaging and receipt which showed the item as an 8gb 3rd Gen model. I also had the BB Black tie protection which may have helped. I made my purchase in Feb of 2010. After much head scratching and disappearing managment it was agreed that my original purchase price for the iPod would be refunded. I appear to have been the first person at this location to bring this to their attention. The funny thing is the guy who walked up a couple of minutes after I started my hour and a half ordeal had the same complaint. I had also sent an email to customer service earlier in the week. I did not hear back from them until late in the afternoon after I went to the local store. The lady was aware of the situation and said she was pleased my local store had refunded my purchase. I did turn around and purchase a brand new white 4th Gen model. Wow what a difference, I like my little "crack pad" as my wife call it, more than I did before.

  • My 4th gen 8GB Ipod touch is full even though I've only got 600 songs.

    My 4th generation Ipod touch has 600 songs and no apps, yet when I plug it in to my computer it's filled with 5.5gb of 'other'. I've looked in the settings to see what the other is but it won't say. I've reverted my Ipod to its factory settings deleted everything bar my music and yet it's still full. Help.

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup...
    But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
    Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • I just bought an iPod touch 4th generation 8GB for $199.99 but then when the iPod touch 5th generation came out, the 4th generation was still $199.99, but for a whole 16GB. Is there a way I can get some sort of free space?

    If "just" is less than 14 days, you can return your iPod to Apple for a full refund.
