Problem with amount of songs in iPod

My 4G ipod with no extras like pictures, playlists, or whatever can only fit about 250 songs on it.
what gives?

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.
It's probably because you have the import settings and bitrate set wrong. Look in iTunes under edit/preferences/advanced/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.
"My 4G ipod with no extras like pictures, playlists,"
Is that a question?!
Do you have them turned on?
Settings/main menu/playlists/on. Photos/on etc, etc.

  • Im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound unless i  talk right next to the mic. how can i fix this

    im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound  unless I  talk right next to the mic but it sounds low  . how can i fix this

    - Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Problem with putting music onto my iPod

    Hi,
    Recently I,ve been having problems with putting music on my iPod. Anytime I click to sync my iPod so I can put new songs onto it the songs never show up. Plus all the playlists in the playlist section on my iPod are all repeated over and over again(theres more than one). Theres no problem with my USB ports as I,ve tested them with other MP3 players and theres also nothing wrong with my cable as it shows up on my PC as connected. I,ve also resetted it! I just don't understand whats wrong with it I also have it fully charged when I'm trying to put the songs onto it.
    Can anyone help please?!!!

  • Problems with iTunes downloading songs to computer

    Problems with iTunes downloading songs to computer. I hook up my iPhone as well as my Ipod and it does not download the new content on my computer.

    with that one we'd better check on these possibilities:
    You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows

  • HT3310 i have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out.  what do I need to do?.. I am using the original headset eversince. I took it to an Apple Mac Center I was told they can't do anythin

      I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out.  what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • Problem with downloading individual songs from an already purchased album to iPhone

    Hi All,
    I'm having problems with downloading single songs from the "purchased" list onto my iPhone. I reset my phone and went to redownload my music, however i only want to download certain songs from different albums which in the past i've been able to do by navigating to the purchases section of the itunes app, then opening each album and selecting the cloud like icon by each song i want.
    Having tried this today, i get the list of songs however the all have a "Purchased" next to them which is greyed out and the only way to download anything is to get the whole album. I've not got iTunes match on and can't think of any settings i've changed, can any suggest what i need to do to enable me to just get a selection of songs?

    Actually Michael I know exactly how to delete.. The iPhone would not let me swipe to the left to delete the individual song, so I went to the album view and did it there.. The issue I am having is a bug because it removed 3/4 of the albums availablity off my iPhone.. You post proved no help because it is basic troubleshooting which, if you read my post, I have already done.. I did however figure out how to fix my issue on my own.. Basically I had to remove the album from my iTunes on my computer and upload it again to iTunes Match..

    Hi there
    Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
    I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
    There is file in following directory:
    C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
    The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
    Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
    Cheers

  • Unequal amount of songs on ipod compared to Mac iTunes

    Hi,
    I have an old 10g ipod (click wheel) v 1.5
    The total number that appears on amount of songs on the ipod does not equal the total amount of songs on iTunes.
    I don't believe I have anything activated to possibly skip a song (ie I dont have "update checked songs only" on)
    yet it says:
    iPod 1003
    iTunes 1004
    I still have plenty of room on the memory to hold more songs.
    Suggestions? Solutions?
    Please Help

    From the count, you might think that you have one more song in iTunes. Easy to find it. Erase the iPod and automatically sync with iTunes.
    But having "about" the same, doesn't mean that all 1003 iPod songs are in iTunes. So this is what you do:
    1. Connect your iPod to itunes.
    Select the iTunes Library and select all [command]A
    2. Paste the results into a spreadsheet. (Should take 7 columns.) While the whole paste is still selected in the spreadsheet, sort on column A.
    3. Select the iPod, do a select all, copy and paste that a column over from the first listing (i.e.select cell 1H), leaving a blank column in the middle. (Should take 6 columns.) While the whole paste is still selected in the spreadsheet, sort on column H. Now both libraries should be matched up, sorted by title.
    4. In the column between - column G - put the formula =IF(A1=H1,"OK","Missing"). Copy that formula down the entire column to row 1004.
    5. Scan down column G until it starts saying "missing" - there's your missing song.

  • Problems with album art copying to ipod touch

    I got a 2nd generation ipod touch for christmas and am having some problems with the album art. I have all of the album art set up in itunes, and when I right click on a song and tell it to 'get info' it shows the album art picture fine (in my itunes library as well as in my ipod's music library), but when the song is actually playing on the ipod the screen is just blank. It isn't just the white background with the music notes like a song with no album art at all, it's just a black screen. When I flip the ipod sideways and browse through the albums all of the album art shows up except for a few which are blank as well. Anybody know why this is happening? Another weird thing is that the album art will show up for maybe one or two songs in the album, but the vast majority are just showing a blank black screen with no picture. Anyone else having this problem?

    "And now I can't get rid of that cover w/o deleting the whole songlist."
    are you sure? if you go to either album info (right clicking on the album in grid view) and double clicking in the album art section, you should be able to use any picture you have saved on your machine by navigating to that picture. OR right clicking individual tracks, then get info, and going to 'artwork', and then deleting it there (you might have to delete them all individually, but it beats having the wrong art there)

  • Apple store changed the motherboard of my MacBookPro. Have now problems with many Itunes songs.

    Got problems with my MacbookPro. The Apple store changed the motherboard. Have now problems with many songs in my Itunes library. Do not have access anymore because Itunes says that I am using more than 5 computers which is not true. How to resolve?

    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 - and another helpful post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17828050
    You will have to deauthorize all and then reauthorize specific computers.  Changing your motherboard has apparently made iTunes think you have a different machine.

  • Problems with music tracks on Video Ipod that worked fine on ipod mini

    Just got a video ipod on Christmas. Have owned an ipod mini for two years.
    Transferred music and playlists from Itunes Library into the new video ipod.
    I'm finding that some of the audio tracks that played fine on the ipod mini are
    experiencing problems on the Video ipod. The commonality among the problem tracks are that they were custom tracks I made through Final Cut Pro and exported out as AIFF's. I then used the "Convert to AAC" function in ITunes to change them to AAC before putting them on the ipod mini. Again, these all played fine on the ipod mini. These problem tracks also tend to be long....50 minutes or more...they're comedy albums transferred into Final Cut Pro from off-air VCR/DVR tapings and are one long track.
    These same files, while AAC, have problems starting up on the video ipod,
    freeze the display and menu controls for a few seconds, or won't play at all. Other normal tracks from CD's or the Itunes store are fine.
    Any correction ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Problems with the delivery of my ipod

    On Jan 29, 2013 I took mi ipod nano 6th generation to an Apple Store here in my city, Valencia, Venezuela since I had some issues with the bottom home. They told me it was on warranty and they sent an order to Apple in Miami to replace my ipod for a new one. The person in the store told me it would take at least 3 weeks for the ipod to arrive to the local store in my country, but it's been 2 months today since I left the ipod there. I've gone twice to the store and they've told me there's no way to know if Apple already sent the product. At least, I checked with serial number that the ipod was already replaced. But how do I know what is the status of my order? I mean, how do I know if Apple sent the product and when??? Hope you can help me. Thanks
