  • My iPod touch is only holding about 20 apps and 16 songs and 3 movies and it says that it's space is full.  I thought I had at least 6gb of memory.  Is there something wrong with my iPod?

    Just curious if anyone could help.  I bought my daughter an iPod for Christmas and it's only holding about 20 apps, 16 songs and 3 movies.  I deleted all of my pictures, so no pictures.  And it continues to say that I need to delete some items, b/c there basically isn't enough free space.  I thought the iPod touch, held alot more than that and that is the reason why I bought it.  Could anyone explain if this is normal or if this has happened to them.  Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    You are not giving us enough information.  A singe move can easiy take more than one GB.  Ehne you click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes on the computer a colored bargraph will show the discribution of storage used on the iPod.  What does that show?  If the "other" category is greater than about 1 GB you can restore yu iPod, sometimes to factory defaults/new iPod is required, to get it to its normal of about 1/2 GB.

  • Why did my iPod touch go into recovery mode when updating to iOS 8.1 over the air???

    I was updating my iPod touch (5th Generation) to iOS 8.1 over the air update option and my iPod goes into recovery mode...I hadn't backed it up in like 2 weeks and a lot happened in two weeks with photos and everything. I have yet to see if I get any of them back but why did this happen? I thought apples over the air update was reasonably easy and secure...?

    Hey Haywards, There has been reported issues with updating iPods to iOS 8, one of which is updating with the cloud or through Wi-Fi. Your seeing one of the problems. After you get things cleared up with the DFU recovery, connect your iPod with your computer via the cable and run the update through iTunes. You should be OK. Or if still an option, don't do the update at all! Many have reported several issues with iOS 8 on iPods. Slow or laggy operation, missing apps, missing music, camera roll not working or missing and huge battery drain and charging issues, just to mention a few. You may want to hold off from updating if possible. Things to think about. Good luck, Cheers.

  • 8GB IPod Touch Will Only Hold 1,000 songs

    I have an 8GB IPod Touch and it will hold only around 1,000 songs. I have nothing else on it. Some of the music was downloaded from ITunes, and some downloaded from CDs. According to Apple specs, the 8GB iPod can hold up to 2,000 songs, up to 7,000 photos, up to 8 hours of video, or some of each.
    Any thoughts?

    if they are in 128 kbps AAC format !
    if you use higher bitrated tunes, they will be bigger in size and use more space.
    enable the +convert higher bit rate songs to AAC 128+ setting in the summary tab of the device when it is connected to iTunes.

  • Why does my iPod touch automatically go out of DFU mode, and not stay in it until I turn it on?

    I put my iPod touch 4g intoDFU mode, then after 10 minutes or so, it turns on with iBoot. I know that DFU mode bypasses iBoot. It automatically boots out from DFU mode. Please help me, because I want to restore it.

    Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    4. Restart the application
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
    Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
    Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
    Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to quit the app.
    Press the Home button, then restart the app.
    5. Restart your device
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
    6. Reinstall the affected application
    Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
    Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the application and then download it again.
    Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
    7. If the issue is still unresolved
    If you continue to experience the issue, contact the developer of the application for further assistance.

  • I have made a playlist on my iPod touch 4th generation for some friends' wedding and I want to play the list in the order I wrote it. It keeps shuffling though, so how do I play it in track order?

    I have made a playlist on my iPod touch 4th generation for some friends' wedding and I want to play the list in the order I wrote it. It keeps shuffling though, so how do I play it in track order

    In iTunes, before you sync the playlist, you can right click on the playlist and select the option that says "Copy Play Order" that will preserve list in the order you have them.

  • My Macbook pro when plugged in will hold a green light and not be recognized by the computer to charge.  SMC reset done several times.  Any help?

    Our MBP bought earlier this year when plugged in to charge will hold a green light and not be recognized by the computer as charging.  Sometimes if we turn it around or plug it in multiple times will work.  We have reset the SMC several times and will work for a little while then go back to the same problem.  Any help or ideas on how to fix it would be great. 

    Hi Why must I,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having charging issues with your MacBook Pro. It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue; SMC resets are often an appropriate step for battery or power issues. If this issue persists, you may find the additional troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • Why is my ipod touch 4g only connecting at 54 mbps?

    My ipod touch 4g has been slow here lately downloading apps and such. So I have an app that analyzes the wifi and it shows im only connecting at 54 mbps. I know the ipod touch 4g is able to connect to wireless n running at 150 mbps on the 2.4 ghz band. Why is it not using it? Is this why it's so slow? also my battery drains quick it seems. I just replaced my netgear wgr614 with a Belkin N600 DB for the dual band N now I know the ipod cant utilize the 300 mbps on the 5 ghz channel. I bought this router because the Ipad 2 needed it. My ipad 2 would cut out and drop signal in my bedroom now signal is great and stays great and it works on the 5 ghz channel. Long story short can't hook up no more tv's to my cable signal I have one tv and my cable modem on one splitter only one outlet in the whole apartment. I was told if I ran another tv it would kill the signal. So i figured get an Ipad 2 and use the Time warner app and watch live tv that way. It works like a charm now where as on my G router it would cut out and buffer a lot. I'm just trying to wonder why the Ipod touch 4g can't utilize the 150 mbps N 2.4 ghz band. Any ideas or anything I can do? I tried resetting network settings on the Ipod with no luck no change. My router is using WPA-2 PSK AES if that makes a difference. my internet is 10 meg with powerboost roadrunner. Also the wireless channels are on 1 and 6

    The % battery is not accurate.
    If a full charge only last 30 minutes after restoring to factory setting/new iPod that indicates a bad battery.

  • I have an Ipod 4th generation ipod with a broken screen: pretty much the entire upper trim is broken off as I can see the camera. Why does my Ipod touch screen only respond in the very middle? Top and bottom work not left or right.

    When the Ipod touch 4th Gen first came out, I got this ipod. About 6 months later, it fell out of my pocket and the top of the screen broke to the point where I can see the camera. The ipod worked perfectly fine for a long time untill about 8 months later when I started having issues with the Ipod. I still was able to unlock and use it but it was hard to unlock. It worked fine when it opened but unlocking it for some reason difficult. Now, I cannot unlock it at all and I am only able to press the play button for music (double-tap home) and press cancle (in the dead center) for a soft reset. Im trying to figure out whats goin on and as of now i have no clue. I have tried resetting it and am in the process of restoring it completely. Is there any possible way that this is just a glitch that can be fixed or is it done for good because somethings broken? I'ld like to know before I really put more time into this.

    Becaise the digitizer is broken in that area
