Why does it show 6GB when I have an 8GB Ipod Touch?

When I look at my capacity, it says it has 6.46 GB but I have the 8 GB Ipod Touch. Why don't I have all 8GB's.?
I don't want to have to delete memories just to make room for new apps and music. My husband is having the same problem with his 64GB.

You have 8 GB total, but the operating system and the apps that come with it take up storage space. 6.5 GB is your 'available' space.

Why does my computer crash when I plug in my ipod touch?

My computer crashes as soon as I plug in my USB cable into the computer.

More information:
The last event before it shuts down:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000050 (0xb5a9f897, 0x0000000, 0xf89788e4, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini08009-09.dmp.
Can I stop this "bugcheck" from happening again?

Try here:

Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for this price.

An iPod touch is an iOS device.
Why not contact the developer of the app?

I have an 8GB ipod touch and suddenly I'm able to access only the "sent" mailbox of Mail and not the other mailboxes. I turned on and off. I connected it to MacBook but still I can't access the other mailboxes.

- Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you access the mail on another device?

Can anyone help?

Why does my iTunes freezes while trying to sync my iPod Touch?

When I try to sync my 2nd Gen. iPod Touch, it freezes partly. It froze when a pop up from iTunes saying it's 'Adding Files' and below it, it says 'Processing: 20100314211421.m4a'. I'm pretty sure I know that I didn't download this file. And when I try to search it by the whole number '20100314211421' my computer couldn't locate it. BUT if I search in the first couple numbers like '2010' it shows a bunch of them and it's mostly [ MyDocuments / My Music / iTunes/ iTunes Music ] folder so I'm guessing it's from iTunes. After figuring that out, I uninstall iTunes 3 times and it still wouldn't sync!
+ When it froze, I could still listen to music although it doesn't play the next track.
++ Also, my iPod is the 4.0 version
+ And when I check my iPod ... nothing changes...
Please help! It's been bothering me for days now.

Hello All,
I recommend call Apple: 1800 MY APPLE
Have them document the issue in the system, and provide a resolution if one is available. If there is none they will work it until they find one.
This "may" fix the issue:

I have a 8gb ipod touch but it only uses 6.4 gb! why?

My ipod isn't using all of the data that is should which is making it impossible to have all of the songs that want on my ipod! What's going on? If you paid for a 8gb ipod then you should get every GB that you paid for.

Copied from How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity
Storage device manufacturers measure capacity using the decimal system (base 10), so 1 gigabyte (GB) is calculated as exactly 1,000,000,000 bytes. The capacity of the storage media in your Mac (Mac OS X v10.5 or earlier), iPad, iPod, iPhone and other Apple hardware is measured using this decimal system. We set this out on our product packaging and on our website through the statement "1 GB = 1 billion bytes."
The storage media in your Apple product, like all storage devices, uses some of its capacity for formatting, so actual capacity available for applications and files will be less. In addition, other factors, such as pre-installed systems or other software and media, will also use part of the available storage capacity.

Hi! I have a 8gb iPod touch 5.0.1 and my app store and my contacts calculator , mails are not on the home secreen and I go to restrictions and they said that that things are on .

Hi!
I have a iPod touch 8GB 5.0.1 and my contacs my app store Are not on the home screen and my contacs .
So I go to restrictions and they say that they are ON so I reboot my iPod and he still the same thing.
So I restore my iPod from iTunes and iTunes say that this iPod cannot be restore and I do that on a MacBook pro and I do the second time on windows computer.
So I need help , I don't know what to do .
Thank you .

The app, if not restricted, may be hidden in your folders. If you go to settings, general, reset, reset home screen layout, you can rule that out.
Does your restore give you a specific error? If so, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
You can also restore from your iPod, by going to settings, general, reset, reset all content and settings, but make sure that you have created a backup beforehand.

Why does nothing show up when I want to print messages from my Safari email

Hi all, I find it annoying that, when I wish to print emails from Safari mail, the print dialogue window comes up totally blank, and find myself having to forward the message to another of my email addresses to print from there.
I'm just wondering what I may have done that blocks email messages from showing up in the print dialogue box. Any clues?

When you are on the Print screen, is there a button "Properties" near/after the printer name? If so, click on it.

Why does my keboard freeze when I plug in my ipod shuffle?

Hi for some reason my ipod shuffle which has worked really well up to now (and still works) freezes up my keyboard as soon as I put it in the usb. I have tried all variations of usbs all work fine except with the combination of ipod shuffle and keyboard - a mystery. Have checked the shuffle with other apple computers and it is fine. Also keyboard works great when ipod shuffle removed can anyone help?

Brian, another way of looking at this is: how many devices do you have connected to the USB port (the same one)? I've found through using external storage devices that one port can handle two devices. I had four going at once one time, but the same thing happened, only two would evenually connect.
There's a limit to connections per USB port, I'm just trying to see if you have too many connectins on one port. If so, obviously, if you have other USB ports available, plug the nano into it's own port and see if that "cures" the missing nano.

Why does iTunes shut down when I hook up my iPod

I downloaded the new version of iTunes so that I could sync my new iPod, but now every time I hook up my iPod to my computer it causes iTunes to shut down. Has anyone else had this problem? If so how did you fix it?

I have an 8GB Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. The apps I already purchased don't seem to work anymore and when I go to re-install, I can't because it says I need a software update. How can I get access to the apps that I purchased?

Due to having a gen 2 Ipod, I can't download any apps from the app store. Plus, many of my previously downloaded apps (that I bought) aren't working...so I can't even re-download them since I still have 4.2.1. HELP!!! Rediculous that I can't use apps I paid for on the same device that I purchased them on.
<Edited by Host>

A 2G iPod can only go as high as 4.2.1
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
