Updated my ipod to iOS 5 but after sync now has 13GB of space taken by "other".

I recently downloaded the iOS 5 and updated my 3rd generation, 32 GB, iPod to this, but after I snyced the iPod, I suddenly have 13.9 GB of space taken up by "other". Before the sync, I had all of that space free.

Thanks for the info, the ipod is in the middle of the restore and everything seems to be back to normal.

Well that is likely to be your problem. After the upgrade the phone locked to the orginal carrier. You will need to find out who that was and either use a compatible SIM from that carrier or have that carrier offically unlock the phone

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password

I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password help please?

You need to restore your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. That is the only choise.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff. To see what a backup contains see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
To transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other stuff you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support CommunitiesA lot of thos are paid, especiall for more than a limited number of items. It is harder to find one that does synced photos.

I cant update my iPod to iOS 5 without losing all the songs I've bought from the iPod, how do I update without losing them?

So, I've been trying to update my iPod to iOS 5 because every app I want is requires iOS 5. When I try and update it on the computer it wont let me, it will go for hours saying it's "backing up". I decided I'd try and just restart it, but when I click it, it says that if I continue iTunes will delete any songs that aren't on iTunes library, and the songs I bought from the iPod itself are not on the iPod yet. I don't know what to do. If I don't update the software I wont be able to update any apps, or get new ones, and if I to update I'll loose the songs I've bought. Please help.

- Try here:
iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not onclude synced media like apps and music. See:
iTunes: About iOS backups
You can also redownoad iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

i have the new iPod nano? but wont sync to my home pc? it connected then tells me i have to disconect then also re connect after?
but never gets any further?

If you mean that iTunes does not see your iPod:
- Did you try everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- Try another cable
- Try another computer
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

No Content in iPod part of iPhone after syncing with OS 3.1 and iTunes 9

My iPhone was working fine and I upgraded to iTunes 9 and OS 3.1 and then all of the sudden no Content in iPod part of iPhone after syncing. It shows the music there as far as the capacity is concerned but nothing shows up on the phone. I turned off Sync Music and my podcasts and movies then appear on my iPhone but when I try to Sync Music again it blanks. I then tried only select playlists which seemed to work except when I went to add the largest playlist then No Content error again on my iPhone.

Same problem here.
I had my contents playing from the application iPod in my newly "clean" updated iPhone 3G, then I downloaded 3 podcasts from the iTunes Store in my iphone over wifi and the next time I launched "iPod" the screen read "Updating library" and then only the 3 new podcasts were shown no other contents is available, and the information menu from the settings reads 0 songs but the available disk space is relevant with the songs still being on the iPhone.
In addition, I have to say that iPod, especially the podcasts section, felt more sluggish than on the previous version.
I look forward to a fix.
Best regards,

While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpcted error occured and now my ipod is not recognized by itunes or my computer and all data has been removed. What can I do

While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpected arror occured before my data was restored and now Itunes will not recognise my Ipod. My Ipod is also not seen as a device in My Computer but asks me to install drivers. What can I do?

- First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode:
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
- If the other computer works and yours does not see:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
