WHY CAN I ONLY PUT 78 SONGS ON A 4 GIG IPOD

THIS ***** I THOUGHT I COULD GET MORE ON THERE

If you are not able to put more, it is most probably because of the size of your song files. My guess is that you have imported your CD in AIFF format. This format will gives you the better song quality, however, since this is an uncompressed audio format, the size of the files will be quite large.
What you should do is to import your audio CD in a compress format. The format that will give you the smaller files without impacting the audio quality too much will be AAC. Go in iTunes preferences in the Advenced tab, select importing and, on the field "Import Using", select AAC encoder. You should deleted your previously imported song before and reimport them with this setting and you will be able to fill you iPod with much more songs.
Regards,

  • Why can I only download one song every 90 days?

    Everytime I try to download a song from my purchased it says one song every 90 days!

    Hello, bridgeted. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like your computer has been associated with another Apple ID in the past 90 days.  Here is some information regarding this process. 
    When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it, with a maxium of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated with your Apple ID, remove unused devices or computers, and view how many days remain before the devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

  • HT1296 Why can't I put the music, that is on my ipod, on to my computer itunes?

    I got a new computer because my old one went out of commision. All I want to do is put the music and apps that are on my ipod onto my itunes on my new computer. My computer doesn't recognize it as a media player or Ipod. It recognizes it as a Digital Camera. So I can't acsess any of my music or apps to place them on my computer or itunes. I can't veiw it at all. It acs as if none of it is even on there. When I try and sync my ipod to my computer it says: Syncing ipod to itunes will add the music from itunes onto my ipod but erase everything existing on the ipod. Would you like to sync? NO. I just want to add my music to my computer and add more. Is there any way to do that without completely erasing everything that's currently on my ipod? Have over 100 songs and about 50 apps. Any help is MUCHO apreciated.

  • Why can i only transfer my bought songs to my ipad , the rest of my library will not sync

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    How are you trying to transfer them.

  • Why can I only see my purchased songs and not my entire library when I use an ipad?

    Why can I only access my 'purchased' songs when I sign into an ipad with my AppleID.  How can I access my entire itunes library (purchased, playlists and downloaded music)?

    If it's iTunes purchased music then you might be able to re-download it on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app - it will download into the Music app. If you want your other music from your computer's iTunes (e,g. music copied from CDs and playlists) then you will need to sync it from your computer's iTunes to your iPad's Music app.

    No idea.
    What happens when you try?
    Do you have enough to cover the taxes?

  • Why can't i put my emails into folders

    why can't i put my emails into folders

    You must have an IMAP email accounts in order to create additional folders in the mail app on the iPad. There is now way to create folders locally like you can on a computer if you are using a POP email account.
    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

  • Why can I no longer sort songs by popularity?

    Why can I no longer sort songs by popularity?

    It seems this is a "backwards" upgrade from Apple in their iTunes 11 release....like you, I used to use that function in the iTunes store to sort through and decide which song version to purchase.   (For a large returned list of songs...see all...then sort by any of the headers, including Popularity...this functionality is now gone.)  
    The iPad always suffered from this...was never able to sort on those same column headers with an iPad.   It seems, this new iTunes release killed that functionality on the Mac as well.
    Just one of the few things that went wrong with number 11!
    Better luck next time,

    How can I, or can I export my songs on my iPod back to my computer?
    The songs on my iPod Video 5th Gen now, were at one time on my computer, but have since been erased. Why can't I export the songs from my iPod back on to my computer? I have this same problem with my other devices (iPad 3rd Gen and iPod Nano 6th Gen). I am really frustrated now, because it seems as if I have to start all over again. This will be a royal pain in the butt! I don't understand why Apple makes this so hard and impossible to do this. Please help, anybody!!

  • Why can't apple put a simple audible low battery indicator on the iphone?

    I get so tired of having my iphone shut down on me mid-conversation. My screen is black and up to my ear; my phone is in my purse while I'm talking on my blue tooth and also has a black screen; or my phone is on my hip with a black screen while I talk with my earphones. How in the heck I am going to READ a low batter indicator on my phone behind a black screen? That information would be very helpful if I weren't on my blue tooth. Actually, that 2% low battery notification would very helpful to me if my phone weren't up to my ear with a black screen. Why can't they put a simple audible low battery indicator on the phone?

    " How in the heck I am going to READ a low batter indicator on my phone behind a black screen?"
    You cannot.
    " Why can't they put a simple audible low battery indicator on the phone?"
    They can.  They have simply chosen not to do so.

  • Why can I not put a picture from camera roll into an album?

    Why can I not put a picture from my camera roll into an album now? When I try these are greyed out. I created these albums on my ipad too but ever since I updated to IOS 7 this can't be done, it was so easy before.

    I can now answer my own question as I've worked it out. For those who are interested click on Shared Streams then on album you require photo to be in then click on the empty box with a cross in the centre and choose photo you wish to add.

    What format of MPG is this?  Is this an MPEG1 or MPEG2 video?  How was the video created?
