Upgrade disk space storage in a 8 GB iPod Nano (6th generation)?

Hello.
Is there a way to upgrade/replace an old sixth generation iPod Nano's 8 GB disk storage to 16 GB like with computers? Or do I have to buy a new one?
Thank you in advance.

  • How to free disk space on ipod nano 6th gen

    Okay so I have 86 songs on my ipod nano 6th gen capacity 8GB and it says it's full. I've deleted a huge number of files from my itunes and also on my media folder. It did not reduce the disk space on  my ipod. I presume that the 86 songs are taking up all the space on my ipod. Does this mean I'll have to unclick and unsync some of the tracks to make room for new songs?

    I think you need to restore through iTunes to change an unknown password. Here is a link to the manual.

  • Receive error message, The iPod cannot be synced.  The required disk cannot be found.  iPod nano 6th Gen, all latest updates, Macbook Pro, with OS 10.6.7

    Receive error message, "The iPod cannot be synced.  The required disk cannot be found.  This is a iPod nano 6th Gen, all updates on iTunes and iPod, Macbook Pro OS 10.6.7.  This is getting frustrating.  I have changed USB ports, cables, reset, restored and was able to sync one time in parts, not all songs at once.  I have seen a lot of this same issue, will Apple please find a solution, nothing works, I think I wasted my money with this iPod.  I have the iPod touch, iPod shuffle, 4th gen iPod nano, iPhone and iPad.  This is the only device that has this issue.

    I was actually able to investigate and solve the problem myself. After readng many posts, I found that someone else's tips worked for me:

    Try running a disk check out the iPod using the tools provided by windows.
    To do this:
    1. Plug in your iPod and close iTunes.
    2. Go to "My Computer". Click on the iPod drive once. Go to File, and then click Properties.
    3. Go to the Tools tab. Under "Error Checking", click Check Now.
    4. Check both boxes. One says "Automatically fix file system errors" and the other says "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". Place a check mark next to each of these options and hit Start.
    The scan may take several minutes or more to complete, but once it has, go ahead and restart iTunes, and try re-syncing files to your iPod.

    You can try Restoring it in iTunes but I believe you will end up needing to have it serviced.

  • HT1363 My ipod nano 3rd generation appears to be in disk mode, I've tried to reset it per instructions, but it will not reset

    My ipod nano 3rd generation appears to be in disk mode and it will not reset. can anyone help

    Try to reset it more than once if necessary.  By a reset, I assume you mean, toggling the hold switch on and then off, then pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear right?
    If nothing else, you'll need to let the iPod's battery fully drain.

  • What is the normal amount of GB of Other Space for a new 32 GB Ipod touch 5 Generation with iOS 6.1.3? Also, will iOS 7 slow down/drain the battery of my device?

    My Other storage space was at 2.84 GB after i loaded all my music/apps onto a recently purchased 32 GB Ipod touch 5 Generation with iOS 6.1.3.  Resetting the settings and removing the music and apps did not help reduce the Other space.  I restored to a backup and got my Other storage space down to almost 400 MB.  When I started syncing music it grew 500-ish MB.  Each time I sync, the Other grows a bit more.  This is really irritating.
    The official listed available GB on my 32 GB is 28.22 GB (not including Other), so now I am irritated knowing that this Other is taking up my space when I didn't even have 32 GB of free space to begin with. So 28.22 - 2.84GB = 25.38 GB.
    I want to restore to a new device to see if that helps, but do not want to upgrade to i0S7.  Is there any way to do this?
    If I upgrade to i0S 7 I am worried it might slow my ipod or drain the battery faster.  Will it do that?  The ipod is expensive and I dont want it to go downhill and obsolete on me because it can't handle a better operating system. 

    Less than 1 1/5 GB is normal. It does grow with time.

  • How can I play songs from a specific genre in album order? (soundtracks) I just upgraded from and Ipod nano 5th generations and would like to be able to listen to my soundtracks without having to choose a different album all the time.

    Question says it all!

    You really can't. However, you can create a new playlist and add whole albums at a time to it and then when you play it back, be sure that the shuffle is not enabled and then you can hear whole albums from a certain genre in album order

  • I just recently updated my iPod Nano 7th Generation, and, after the upgrade finished, my iTunes library, playlists and all, vanished. How can I restore the playlists and songs to iTunes?

    I updated my iPod Nano 7th Generation, and it wiped my iTunes library. I no longer have my playlists or movies. I was able to recover my music, but the many, many playlists I had, I could not recover. Is there any way I could recover them?

    Hello apbvieira,
    It sounds like your iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes anymore after a recent update. I recommend the following article to help you get that in order named:
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
    This step will get you started, but there are additional steps in the article if you need them.

  • Free space. Trouble loading music to ipod nano

    I bought a 2GB Nano today but although it is supposed to hold about 500 songs, I can only load about 1/3 of that volume. Am I just being really blonde or can someone explain how to correct this. Also, I used to have a shuffle and it was much easier to upload music to it with the 'autofill' feature. When my nano is plugged in, the 'autofill' feature doesnt display. Why is it so hard to upload music.

    However, my 2GB iPod nano still only stores 132 randomly selected songs from my library and fills up the memory.
    I'm a little confused by this. The 2GB Nano doesn't have an autofill feature like the shuffle does. How exactly are you getting a "random" selection of songs?
    Are you using manual updates for your Nano and picking the songs you want on it?
    If your songs are all 128kbps AAC files of around 4 minutes each... and you can really only fit 130 tracks on the iPod... then you might want to try restoring your iPod and syncing your music again.
    Additionally, the importing settings are only for NEWLY IMPORTED tracks. Changing those settings won't affect tracks that are already in your iTunes library.
    Is it possible that you have songs in your library that are encoded higher than 128kbps? You can do a 'Get Info' on some of your tracks and check the encoding bitrate.

    To save myself another 10 minutes of typing I'll just suggest you browse this forum for posts over the past week.  I know I have answered this question for an identical machine setup in the past week. 
    Short answer. I'd go with Snow Leopard. Lion may be possible but for a Tiger user may be too much of a jump.  For my reasoning read my other posts.
