Why does my 8G Ipod Touch only allow 6.46g?

I purchased a 8G Ipod Touch 4th Generation but it only allows 6.46G. Why am I losing a full 1.54G?

That is NOT why.
Apps, OS, user storage for Safari means you have less than 8GB for user files.
There is another thread dealing with storage use, how much to plan for based on file type, but that is another issue.

Why does my 8GB Ipod Touch have Voice Memos?

Why does my 8GB Ipod Touch have Voice Memos? According to Apple's manual the Voice Memos will only work on the 32GB Ipod Touch. The old 8GB does not have a microphone.

The Apple Users Guide for the the iPod w/ iOS 4.2.1 says the the 2G, 3G and 4G iPod have voice memos but you need an external for the 2G and 3G models since they do not have an internal mic. No info on 8 GB model not having VM. You can get the Users Guide from the iBook store.

Why does my new iPod touch sort music by album artist, instead of song artist?

I recently go an iPod touch 4th Gen. My old iPod sorted music by song artist, but the new one sorts it by album artist. My problem is this: There is an album called Re:generation. It was a project in which 5 DJs each made 2 songs for the album. So I enter the info for each song, but my iPod sorts it by album artist, which is listed as "Re:generation". I wanted the songs to be sorted by the 5 artists that actually made the songs, so there would be 2 songs under 5 different artists. If I wanted to listen to the whole album, I could press the album tab, scroll down to "Re:generation" and play the whole album. This all worked fine on my old iPod, but now it doesn't.
My first solution was to change the album artist on each song to the artist that created that song. But then by iPod list 5 different albums, so I can't listen to the album as a whole if I wanted to. My next solution was to erase the album artist info for each song, but now none of the ten songs can be found under the artist tab. I have to go over to the album and pick which song I want to hear.
If you don't understand, here's an example. 2 of the songs on the Re:generation album are by Pretty Lights. I want to be able to select Pretty Lights under the artist tab, choose all songs, shuffle, and have those 2 songs play at some point. But I would also like to be able to got to the album tag, select Re:generation, and play all 10 songs in order. However, the new setup won't allow me to do this.
So I'm wondering if I can fix the problem by somehow editing the iPod's sort settings (if possible), or reverting back to the old system (if possible), and why Apple even changed the system in the first place. It seems pretty stupid to me, and I honestly see no reason to change what I thought was a perfect system.

wow, i really don't have time to read all that, but i'll give you an hint when you're in music library click "More" and then "Composers" i think that's what you're lookin for otherwise just ignore it

How do I make an iPad or iPod touch only allow access to one App? I need to create a one application device for a child.

I need to lock the iPad or Itouch down so only one application is running or available to start. One, for ease of use by a 3 year old and two, in order to make the use of the iPad as an AAC device allowable in a classroom setting. There is concern that the other games, etc will be a distraction.
Thank-you!

You can enable Restrictions, also known as Parental Controls, on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to prevent access to specific features. This article provides an overview of the types of Restrictions that are available, as well as how to enable or disable Restrictions on your device.

TS2634 Why does my apple iPod touch just automatically stop playing songs and it also when I am doing a google search just goes back to the home screen

My iPod touch just stops playing songs automatically.
When doing a google search it sometimes times goes back to the home screen.
Also it sometimes takes several goes before it will accept the charger!
Would appreciate any help, thanks

- The charging issue could be due to a poor connection or a problem with the iPod. Try another cable first
- Try the following, it is mainly for the not playing and other problems:
Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why does my 8gb iPod Touch say it is over capacity when transferring songs from my 4gb iPod?, Why does my 8gb iPod Touch say it is over capacity when transferring songs from my 4gb iPod?

Okay So my little sister got a new 8Gb iPod Touch and it says that there is a little over 6Gb of space on it. I guess a little must be used up for formating or the operating system of the device. So that is normal I'd assume. Then she starts to sync her music library to the divice, all of the music that she had on her old 4Gb iPod.During the process it says that she is over capacity by .22Gb? How is that possible? How is it that her entire music library from Itunes and her CDs, a grand total of 700 songs, were able to fit on the 4Gb iPod but makes the 8Gb with 6Gb of usable space (said to be able to hold like 2,000 or more songs) over capacity?! could someone run me through a process to get all the music together so that we can get it set up right. I really have a feeling that somewhere we must have screwed up.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

This is really a guess but perhaps it's the factory-installed apps.
You might want to try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Why does my new iPod touch randomly delete my apps?, Why does my new iPod touch randomly delete my apps?

I got an iPod for Xmas and it seems to randomly delete some of my apps... Luckily they were all free but I'm scared to buy any I case it happens again.

Are you sure they are not just moved to another screen or folder? Do a Spotlight search for them to confirm thay are actually removed.
All your apps should be kept on your computer, in your iTunes account. You control which apps you want on your touch thru iTunes sync settings. If you have not been syncing to iTunes, and the apps are truly gone, you can re-download them for free from the iTunes Store> Quick Links> Purchases section and then sync back to the touch.

TS3899 My old iPad let me have 1000 emails, why does my new iPad Air only allow 200? How do I change this?

I want the 1K emails I could have on my iPad 2. Can't figure out how to do this on my new Air.

I had an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1. In the Mail, Contacts, Calendars selection and within it a Mail section. Within the Mail section i could choose to show anywhere from 50 - 1!000 messages. In my new iPad Air with iOS 7.1 i have no such option and it seems to max out at 240 meassages.

Why doesn't my iPod Touch 5 allow images to rotate in iOS 7.0.3?

I downloaded the new iOS last week and since then, I cannot get pictures or videos to rotate sideways for a larger view.

The 7.0.3 update was supposed to fix an accelerometer issue, but I think it caused one.

Why is my 8gb ipod touch full with only 227 songs

Why is my 8GB Ipod touch full with only 227 and nothing else. I also share my itunes with my Iphone, There is only audio on my IPod

Did you post this same question recently?
What is the detail format of the music? Music can be compressed to different degrees. The less compression the more storage each song needs.
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Why do ipod touchs only last 1 year?

My best friend has as ipod and it's lasted for like two years now. I've had to buy 2 ipod's in the time she's had her's. Why arn't mine lasting as long as her's? I've heard somewhere that normal iPod touches only last 1 year.. WHY?? It's not like money grows off trees. And iPod touches arn't cheep either.. so please help. (FYI I'm having to buy my 3rd iPod touch now because my screen is all white. )

Maybe it's overheating from all the spellchecking it's required to do.
I've had mine 2.5 years and it still works great. Make sure you let the battery go real low once in a while and give it a nice full recharge. Make sure you don't drop it. Make sure you don't put it in water. Make sure you connect it to your Mac/PC once in a while, back it up, and restore it to original factory condition. the only issue I have is that the battery doesn't last as long as it used to, but it's still pretty good.

Does the iPod touch only use wi-fi or if it's plugged in to a PC can it use the internet?

Does the iPod touch only use wi-fi or if it's plugged in to a PC can it use the internet?

I have never done this myself, however I know you can use some computer as the WiFi hotspots. Macs do, and some PCs do.
There is not a way to physically connect the iPod to use the computers Internet connection.
If you use Windows - look here for help and instructions.
