Updated iPod, now no space on computer

I updated my iPod touch (64gb, purchased 2/10) today for the first time in many weeks (lost my cable). It got all it's updates, "backed up" for literally HOURS, then finally sync'd. Toward the end of the sync I got an error message stating that not all of my ipod photos were transferred because there wasn't enough space on my computer to back them up. When I disconnect my iPod I have ZERO free space on my computer. There was 12-13 GB free space prior to updating. My iPod is less than 1/2 full. What happened?!

Also, now when I view my pictures on my iPod they're all blurry or a lower resolution. I've really no idea what's going on here...

  • Ipod has more space than computer!!!!

    Hello, I've run into a bit of a problem. I've recently bought a 30 G ipod w/ video, but my computer only has 20 G. Obviously less now, as I've had it for a few years... so lets say 3 G. Is there any way I can keep all my music on my ipod w/o [sync-ing it and keeping all the music on my hard drive]?
    Thank you much =]

    You simply have to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". You can get details here: Managing content manually on iPod
    One major word of caution. If you delete songs from your PC and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • HT1848 transfered ipod apps and music to library on mac, updated iPod, now want to transfer apps and music back to iPod.  How do I do it?

    I transfered apps and music from my ipod touch to my library on my mac before updating my ipod touch to version 6.0, now how do I get music and apps back on ipod touch.  I can see them in my library on my mac.

    Okay I finally fixed it.  I had to turn off wifi on ipad, connect ipad to computer with usb, unsync all music, deauthorize and then reauthorize my computer, and resync all music again!  What a hassle but I now have all my music on ipad again.

  • Updated iPod now slow synching to iTunes???

    I just got back from 18 months travelling, during which time my PC (with iTunes) was continually switched off, and my iPod was travelling with me. Upon returning I had a few weeks back on my PC before I reconnected the internet at home, during which time I had my iPod connected via USB to my PC and everything continued to work as it had before I left, apart from when I clicked into the iPod "drive" on my HD I got a threat warning for a file "I-Worm/BrontokX Data Graffiti.exe". I have never heard of this worm and so far detected no weird behaviour in either the iPod on its own, or iTunes, or accessing the iPod through iTunes (synching etc). I didn't want it to automatically quarrantine any files on the iPod itself, so I did nothing. At this stage the versions of both iPod software and iTunes were those from February 2009.
    I recently reconnected the internet and firstly restored the iPod to factory settings just to be safe with respect to the virus threat warning. I then updated both iPod software and iTunes to current versions (iTunes version 10.0.1.22). I then re-synched my iPod.
    The first thing I noticed is that things are MUCH slower now. Whereas I used to be able to synch new contact at the rate of one new song every second or 2, synching my library from scratch again took a VERY long time, up to 1 minute per song, or about 8 hours for 15GB of media.
    Secondly, I keep my media on an external hard drive (due to space on my PC) and I find that I'm having relatively frequent issues now with iTunes "losing" my media and not being able to find it on the external drive (little "!" appears next to song etc), and not being able to find the connected iPod, which never happened on the old versions before I did the updates. Closing and restarting iTunes does not fix it, but restarting the PC does.
    Thirdly, now that I have re-synched, the media now seems to be taking much less space on my iPod. Before the update, I had virtually filled my 16GB iPod nano with my entire library. Now, the same library takes barely more than 12GB of space on the iPod.
    I guess my questions/issues are:
    * Any ideas about the "virus" threat "I-Worm/BrontokX Data Graffiti.exe"? I assume that restoring the iPod to factory settings would have removed any issue but should I be more worried?
    * The new versions of iTunes/iPod software just seem to be more, well, jittery than what I had, even if it was versions from Feb09 ("losing" my media, "losing" the iPod, taking far longer to synch etc)?
    * Why would media that took 15GB of space on my iPod before the software update, now take only 12GB? I'm worried that stuff is going missing but I can't go through 3,500 songs individually
    Any ideas/hints/tips/comments welcome

    1st Gen minis required a connection to the power adapter to complete the Firmware update. AC adapters were provided in the box with all 1st Gen minis. 2nd Gen minis do not need this step.
    You'll need to find an adapter to complete the process. Sometimes an auto DC charger can also work.
    No way around this requirement for the 1st Gen mini (and some earlier iPods as well).

  • Can't update ipod - not enough space but nothing is there

    First, yes I have read the entire discussion a couple of threads down and it didn't help!
    I have a new 2gb nano and am trying to load songs for the first time, using Windows XP. Every time I try to update, I get a message that it can't because there isn't enough space. I restored as suggested on a previous thread. I checked all my tracks and they are all 128. All my tracks are 3-4 mb. I do have more stuff in my library than would fit on my nano, but under options I have checked to only update playlists I specify and only update checked songs. I only checked one playlist and even went so far as to only check one song. So it won't even upload that. Showing 1.9g free space.
    Any suggestions?
    nano 2gb   Windows XP  

    I think everything should be current. I downloaded the most recent iTunes yesterday when I got the ipod; Updater I just downloaded for the first time yesterday, as well as the ipod software. iTunes software is version 6.0.5.20 and ipod software is version 1.2. Yes, my preferences for only checked tracks and playlists, etc. were still there.
    So I just now tried manually synching one playlist (the same one I was trying to do automatically before) and that worked fine. Which is some relief because now at least I have 70 songs instead of 0.
    Subsequently decided to try out the new FM transmitter, which also worked fine, then came back thinking I would add some more manually. Now when I plug the ipod in, I get the message that the device can't be recognized. Tried the other USB port to no avail, same message. I know my port works because I run my printer off of it.
    Arrrrgh!

  • Updating iPod touch with a different computer/library

    Will I be able to do it? I am in a different country right now (I have a US Apple Account) and won't be back til next month. I was wondering if I could update it with the iOS4 with a different library.

    You can transfer iTunes purchases to the compyter by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    To transfer other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    After you get everything on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up. Then retore the iPod from that backup.

  • Updated iPod now there's only 6 songs left

    Hi.
    I live in the uk and bought my iPod touch from uk, I came to australia on a holiday and connected it to a pc with iTunes and updated it, after the updated I only have 6 songs left on iPod touch. Everything else is there's just not my songs. What do I do.

    I found the problem. Plug your iPod into your pc and open iTunes. Once your Ipod is open on iTunes on the navigatoion thing on the left clich on music. Then click settings and change the reserve space from 0 mb to the amount of music space u need for me I used 3GB.
    It worked for me so it may work for you

  • Updated iPod, now iBook is confused

    Can someone help? Thanks.

  • Updated ipod, now it wont turn off.

    last week i updated my ipod with the latest software and now when i hold the play/pause button it wont shut off, i have tried to reset it but it wont work, what can i do?

    Here are some things to try if your iPod doesn't turn off.
    First of all, be sure that your "Hold" switch isn't turned on (the hold switch is located on the top of your iPod).
    Then, there are a few things to try that are outlined here:
    -- Reset the iPod. Be sure you're doing it the correct way: Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for about 5-10 seconds.
    Be sure to also try connecting your iPod to a power source while doing this step several times.
    -- Try toggling the Hold switch. Flip the "Hold" switch on your iPod (located on the top) back and forth several times.
    Again, this includes connecting the iPod to a power source while you're toggling the Hold switch back and forth (this worked for someone who's iPod wasn't responding to anything)
    -- If none of these work, you might want to try Restoring your iPod. Note that this does delete all the contents off the iPod (which is why it is more as a "last resort"), but often clears up any issues you might be facing.
    For more info on this process, take a look at this Knowledge Base article: Restoring your iPod to factory settings

  • Updated Ipod now password problems

    can anyone help me with this problem?
    I recently installed update Itunes 4.0 on my sons ipod with no problems but now it wont accept my Itunes password!
    The same password is fine on the other 2 devices I have linked to Itunes - its only the one I updated.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Updated iPod now I have to plug into wall with adapter?

    Hi,
    New to this board and hoping someone can help.
    Downloaded the iPod Updater last night and now my iPod is asking me to plug it into an external power source using an adapter. Why? I don't have an adapter. (I know I can buy one but I don't see why I should have to in order to complete the update). Looks like I can't use the iPod until I do so because the power adapter/wall plug icon always shows when I try to turn on the iPod.
    Am I missing something here?

  • I can't get my Ipod to show up in my itunes on my new computer. Also, i want to transfer all the music on my ipod now, to my new computer.

    I want to transfer all my music from my ipod into my itunes. I just recently purchased a new PC. I can only transfer my "purchased" songs. Essentially, my Ipod does not show up in my Itunes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    I hope you get an answer on this. I am having similar problems. I have lots of music on my Nano and now have a new laptop. How do you move those songs into your new laptop from the Nano.

  • Using New Laptop to Update iPod Now

    So I got a new laptop, and I've transferred all my music files.
    So, if I want this laptop to update my iPod, do I simply install iTunes and the iPod software in my new laptop, and treat it as though I'm installing a new iPod?
    Would that work?

    If you have all your music moved then you just need to install iTunes and add your music to the new library. If your iPod is set to update automatically when you connect you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Yes" or ("Erase and Sync" in iTunes 7). All the songs from your library will load onto your iPod.
