Problem with the iPod memory status colour bar in iTunes 7

Hello
The iPod memory status bar in iTunes (the one with different colour bars that show the proportion of total memory filled by music, video, photos, other) says that 26gb of my 30gb iPod is filled, and 26gb is free. Clearly that cannot be the case as that's way over 100% of the iPod's memory. Resetting the iPod has not solved this problem as when I fill it back up with songs, videos etc this glitch returns. Can anyone help please?

I tried formatting the ipod with windows! in the end of it windows says that it was not able to format the drive properly. then I click ok, open itunes, restore the ipod, try to sync again and have the problem that after a while the whole thing freezes... no more errors....just from the moment i disconnect the ipod manually from the cable, everything gets back to normal life again! I do not know what to do! do you guys think, my computer is too old or maybe my ipod's broke???
I'm despairing people...never had problems like that until itunes7! I tried as well to close all the other working programs with the task manager... doesn't change it!
Thx for the help!

Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

Hello,
I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
Hope this helps.

I have bought a docking station and my iphone works fine but my ipod mini seems to fit on the connection but only works intermittently. Is it a different connection or is there a problem with the ipod?

I have bought a docking station and my iphone works fine but my ipod mini seems to fit on the connection but only works intermittently. Is it a different connection or is there a problem with the ipod?

I think that is happening is that the microphone is on during this recording. If you play the music through the iPhone speakers, it will record this sound, albeit at very poor quality. If you say anything (or laugh uproariously as I did while watching the app in action, then that, too, get recorded.
I am still looking for the solution we all want, which is to save the audio in reasonable quality.
Anyone out there with some ideas?
Cheers,
Rob

Problems with the iPod Touch (sound)

Hey,
I was wondering (more like desperately hoping) someone can help me with my problem.
I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years now but lately I've been getting problems with the sound.
When I bought the iPod, I bought some decent sennheiser plug-in earbuds too, because I find the one's delivered with the ipod pretty low quality.
For over a year, I loved my ipod touch (it's my second one) but one day, for some unknown reason, my sound was at not even half of the usual volume.
I've checked the settings but cannot find the problem, so I tested the ipod ears delivered with the ipod since they were new, same story (the left earbud was slightly louder than the right for some time but not too long, then they both gone quiet).
I've checked on the internet before and someone said "try jailbraking your ipod, because that sometimes helps, so I did but no effect.
So I set it back to fabric settings and went to a switch store, they listened and found it odd too so they send it in because it was still under guarantee.
Now (today), I've gotten a completely new ipod touch 16 Gb. So, happy as I was, I went home to put my music on it, and what happens? The sound is slightly louder than the previous one but still WAY too quiet! If I'm on the bus, its no use listening to it because I cant understand the lyrics cause of the background noizes the bus makes... Its p*¨ssing me off bigtime that its still way too quiet, anyone got any ideas how to fix it?
Please don't send useless reply's like get ya ears checked because Im in the army and they get checked regularly and they are perfectly fine!
Maybe with someone knows some other program or app that I can use so I can fix this very irritating problem?
I have had 6 iPods before, from the first one that came out to the ipod touch 16 Gb, and its only with this one that Ive started having problems about a year ago.
Plus my girlfriend has an ipod too (not a touch) and on her ipod, everything works fine, my earbuds included :s
Please help!
Thanks in advance!
Toby

Omg, I've put over 2 hours of work in it to reinstall other versions of itunes, ios n such to then find out that they DID NOT test my ipod and sennheiser earbuds that I gave in along with my busted itouch.... They told me they work fine... Now I took my girlfriends earbuds cause nothing worked, turned out they are both broken and now I need to go back to the store for new ones, dont think that the previous itouch wasnt busted then after all cause it was, tried with 10 different sets of earbuds
anyway Im a happy man again with a decent itouch and good earbuds, that I can lend from me girlfriend...
Thanks for the help anyway

Problems with the ipod

I have already researched this problem to the max, so any other suggestions are welcome, but I have already read all the discussions on it as well as the Apple Documentation. I am coming here on the off chance someone knows soemthing and so I can document for the benefit of other ipod users.
I get "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when trying to synch ipod. The error message does vary a bit.
I have seen other users referred to this artile.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301267
This documentation is pretty useless as it says that everything can be wrong.
So far I have restored my ipod many times, formatted it for windows, checked it for errors in windows, updated my ipod software, updated itunes, tried various methods described all to no avail. It is not a problem with a specific file because I have tried transferring only 100 out of the 2500 files in my collection to no avail.
I will try updating my ipod from a different computer with a different library of music later tonight. So far I have not had access to a computer with a firewire drive so that I can make sure it's not a problem with the USB cord or interface.
Suggestions are welcome! If updating it with another comp does not work I guess I'll try to use the ipods warranty. If that doesn't work I'll try to replace the harddrive myself.

Problem with the Ipod Touch Music Player

Hi, I recently got an iPod touch 3g (8 gig) around christmas, and its been a truly great buy and worked flawlessly. However just recently I started having issues with the iPod's music player.
Ever since last night, I noticed that when I use the music player, and try to move 'FORWARD' a song (IE the double forward arrow button) the arrow would stay white like I was pressing it, NOT move forward a song, the screen would be unresponsive as the current song played, and then after 2-3 seconds the music player would crash and go back to the home screen.
I know it was a crash because when I went back to the music player, it was reset back to the 'Shuffle' option with the list of songs below it (usually, it leaves off on the last song you were listening to.)
I also noticed, that even if I just listened to a song completely without hitting forward, it would STILL freeze up and crash to home screen once the song was finished, even if I DIDN'T press anything.
But apparently the double back arrow (rewind/back) works without crashing it.
So my question is: what can I do to fix this? I already tried restarting my iPod (by holding the top and home buttons for 10 seconds) and it did not solve this. I always keep my iPod charged up, and I can't think of ANYTHING I did yesterday or recently at all to cause this problem....I generally only use the iPod touch for music or internet browsing.
any help appreciated..
-Ben

My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones. Is there a problem with the ipod?

My daughters ipod only plays out of one side on her headphones. I've tried other headphones. Is there a problem with her ipod?

First make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way in (it takes a bit of force to get the solid click sound) and sound balance is set in the middle. Second, test the headphones on another device to see if they operate correctly and test the iPod with the original Apple earphones that came with the iPod to see if it works correctly. Lastly, if you are using third-party headphones, make sure that their plug is iPod compatible.

Still problems with the Ipod Nano 3g and the Nike+ kit??

I thinking about buying an Ipod Nano and the Nike+ kit tomorrow but now I'm a bit unsure due to some of the problems mentioned here in this forum? Do you still have problems with the commuication between the Nano and the sensor? Are there still problems wtih the distance being wrong or only in km? Should I buy - if possible - a Ipod Nano 2G?
Regards
Morten

Personally I am very happy with my new iPod Nano. It works great with Nike Plus and I love the video and some of the cool features like stopwatch and more. I have an earlier iPod Nano and I was hesitant to buy the new one but I am so glad I did. I don't have any problems uploading data.

Are there problems with the iPod suffle blowing headphones?

I recently purchased an iPod shuffle. After about 2 weeks the headphones went out on me. Thinking I just got a defective pair, I purchased a new set. Not two weeks after purchasing those, this set went out as well.
I don't blast my music, and both times it was the right ear bud that went out.
Thus, does anyone know if there is something defective with the iPod shuffles that cause the right ear buds to blow?
I have tried plugging the headphones into my laptop and yes, it is blown. I was thinking that after the second set of headphones went out, that maybe it was the shuffle itself, but it's not.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks!

I don't understand why you bought a replacement pair when you could have had Apple replace them under warranty.

Weird problem with the apple tv (3rd gen) playing choppy iTunes Music

I have a weird problem with the apple tv(3rd gen) when i use my macbook pro to play itunes music via airplay the music is extremely choppy however that only happens if I have both my mac and apple tv connected to the same 5 ghz band on my dual band wifi network if i switch either one of my mac or apple tv to the 2.4 ghz band it works fine. I would like to find a solution instead of having to do this work around because i prefer my 5 ghz band for both my mac and apple tv and have my other things connected to my 2.4 ghz.

5 GHz, so far as I'm aware transfers no more data than 2.4 Ghz. There are other things involved that might help data through volume such as the wifi standard or dual width channels, but essentially if you compare like for like they are they same for the amount of data they can send. The main advantage of 5GHz is that it's less susceptible to interference and potentially more private.
It's possible that you have different issues on each band, I couldn't say at this time but have you checked for interference.

Anyone else having WiFi problems with the IPod Touch 5th Generation?

I upgraded my old IPod Touch 3rd Generation to a 5th Generation yesterday. I've noticed however that for some reason the wi-fi connection on the 5th Generation drops off all of a sudden for no reason at all and I can't figure out why. Anyone else having similar problems? If so what did you do?

Does the iPod connect OK to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect OK?
Did the iPod connect before?
If only your network then it could be a problem with your network
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- 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.

A few problems with the ipod touch

Hi all,
Just trying to get some feedback from everyone. Firstly I love the ipod touch, I reckon it was a great buy compared to all the other new ipods (please dun shoot me on this, this is my opinion :P) but I've noticed some problems with it and was wondering if anyone else has the same problems.
Firstly when I sync the touch to my computer and change the name/details of 1 movie file, when I go back to the touch in the videos section the frame that is used on the list goes missing and defaults into the generic one (the grey looking monitor). I'm not sure why. I cannot get it back no matter what I try.
Another thing, I swap back and forth syncing using my MacBook Pro and my Toshiba Tecra (XP SP2) depending on which one I'm using at that particular moment. It's fine for music, but when I try to upload any kind of movies on the Tecra it seems to give me a BSOD. Something to do with the QT program files clashing with the system. Anyone had this problem before? And as a result I would just go to my MBP to upload movies and such.
Any kind of feedback and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time all.

Try here (you likely tried most of these).
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have a common problem with the iPod Touch.....has anyone figured it out??

Frequently when listening to music, browsing safari, or playing videos, my ipod touch will stop abruptly and return to the home screen without reason. Shutting down the iPod is a quick fix, but within a half hour the same problem arises again. Has anyone found a permanent solution to this problem? If not, does anyone know if there is a scheduled ipod software update to fix the problem? Thanks a lot!!

If you are listening-browsing-watching the same time it looks like there is not enough memory for the iPod and it closes applications being run

Anyone else having this problem with the iPod Touch 5g?

I just got the iPod Touch 5g tonight, and I love it, however I have this one little issue with it. Here's a picture of it. As you can see, the app I'm using isn't taking up the entire screen. Is anyone else having this problem? Is this something that needs to be fixed with an update for the app? Several of my apps do this.

The app isn't optimized for the larger screen. You just need to wait for them to update the app.

Has anyone had a problem with the ipod mini after update

I just installed mac os 10.4.3 system update after the installation of this update ny ipod stop responding to the computer
has anyone experianced this problem it wont even let me reset the ipod i have tried over and over again

If you really find an answer to your question, you should search through these boards. A LOT of people have problems with their minis and Nanos after they download updates. Some people don't even bother with the updates.
My suggestion? Delete the update you just downloaded and download the version before that one. See if your iPod responds to your computer.
