Why does my ipod touch show I have 0 bytes

My sons ipod touch shows it has 0 bytes, when his should have 8.  I am not sure why.  The only thing he has downloaded are songs.

Where does it show 0 bytes?
An 8 GB iPod only has about 6.4 GB available to the user.
Connect the iPod to it syncing computer and and click on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargraph?

  • Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear?

    Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear?  The computer seems to recognize it as a camera device, rather than a mass storage device.  Does this have anything to do with the problem?  When plugged in, a window pops up asking which photo program you'd like to use, and if you cancel, that's it.  Even if you try to open a photo program, and download your photos off of the ipod, it still won't show up in itunes.

    Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

  • Why does my ipod touch show up as a camera?

    Hello. I upgraded to windows 7 about three weeks ago and I didn't have a single problem with my ipod touch. Yesterday a friend of mine signed into his account on my itunes to download some music. Today, I plugged my ipod touch into my laptop and it shows up as a camera and would not show up in itunes. I have searched forums the web over and I have done the following: Uninstall/IInstall itunes. Restart my computer. Reset the ipod. Restart the ipod. Restart the computer and reset the ipod. I uninstalled all apple software from itunes, to the updater, bonjure, and quicktime. Restarted the computer. I have went into and changed the settings for the device so it is supposed to ask me what it will show up when the autoplay pops up. NOTHING is working. I use my ipod all day and everywhere I go. If any one at all can help with a solution that doesn't involve simple uninstall/reinstall/restart, I would appreciate the help. I don't understand why this happended. I signed back into my itunes account as well after reinstalling everything. I am at a total loss. Thank you

    It is normal and expected for an iPod to show up as a camera as well as in iTunes.  Try here:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1975 why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location?

    why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location? i thought it was because updating foursquare. i have erased and restored its settings, but i was able to use my foursquare before even after the restoration, but now it's not working even my location services is on. Though, it can detect location in other areas, but it cant detect my location at home when before it used to check-in using foursquare.

    No, the iPhone can determine location by GPS and cell tower locations neither of which the iPod can do.  So the fact that it works on the iPhoe does not tell you anything.  It could be that your router is not in Apple's database.  In that case you will just have to wait until they add it.  Try using a public wi-fi source to see if location works there.

  • Why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77%  78% help me please

    why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77%  78% help me please

    All batteries recover a bit when they sit for a little while.  Also most iPod battery apps register only in 5% increments, because it is hard to really be accurate to the single percent.  Just because yours shows in 1% increments does not mean it is actually accurate to that level.

  • Why does my ipod touch 4gen keeps going back to home page when browsing on the apps store

    Why does my Ipod touch 4 generation keeps going back to home page when browsing in the apps store.
    I called apple 5 times today and asked me to restore it 3x the problem still exists. This problem starts to occur yesterday after upgrading to IOS6.
    Apple customer service is not good enough as they cannot fixed the problem or tell me that I can change the unit as I just bought this 2 months ago.

    Because there is a bug in iOS 6 that effects the 4G iPod touch.
