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:

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • Ipod is full with only 143 songs!

    My 4GB ipod mini has only 23.1MB left of free space, but it only has 143 songs!!! The majority of my songs are MPEG audio files. I'm assuming that the format is part of the problem. Is there a way to convert the format once the songs are already in itunes? I don't have a way to get most of these songs again! I appreciate help!!! Thanks!
    Danielle

    It's not just the codec the file are saved in - check the individual and total file size of the music files.
    If your 143 music files are approaching 3.6GBs, then you have them encoded with a very high bit rate. If not, then you may have an iPod memory management problem.
    Post back with a bit more details and we can diagnose the issue a bit better.

  • 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 is my new ipod Touch 5 with iOS 7.1 clock is slow by almost 3 minutes?

    Radiation, global warming maybe... Really don't know, the time should update when you connect to the internet. You could also try resetting and see if it corrects. Are you sure the clock your comparing with is set to the correct time? Good luck, Cheers.

  • 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 8gb ipod touch have 6.4 gb?

  • Bought daughter new 8gb ipod touch but it only takes 900 of her 1400 songs.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Bought daugher the 8gb ipod touch to replace her nano but it only takes 900 of her 1400 songs.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I was told that it would hold 2000+ songs.  She had no photos or videos on it, just uses it for music.  Can anyone advise.  Thanks

    The person who told you it would hold 2000+ songs was stretching the truth. This might be true with 128kbps MP3 files. Not true with 256kbps AAC files (like from the iTunes store). 
    128kbps MP3s are around 2 to 4MB each. 2000 x 3MB = 6GB.
    256kbps AAC files are often 5 to 10MB each
    The average size of your daughter's music files is 6.5GB/900 = 7.2MB
    1400 songs at 7.2MB = 14GB
    Many of us have the problem of not being able to sync our entire music collections.  In that you are not alone. The answer about converting to 128kbps AAC is a possible solution. It sacrifices sound quality for size, though.  My solution is to sync what I usually want to listen to. I have many songs that I rarely listen to; the result of ripping complete CDs, including all the "filler" songs.

  • Serious Lag with OS4 update on 8gb iPod Touch, help with firmware rollback

    Hey all,
    I updated my 8gb 3rd Gen iPod Touch to the 4.0 OS today and now i'm experiencing serious lag with everything. I want to roll back to an earlier OS, say 3.1.2 or 3.2 but I cant find anywhere to download a copy, its like apple force you to update then leave you fending for yourself with no options to download previous versions.
    Can anyone help?
    Any other 8gb Touch owners having similar issues? Really not worth it just for folders and spell check...
    Oh and Apple should be disgusted at how hard it is to find the link to make your own topics on this site, I'm a fairly skilled user and I was chasing my tail for a good 30min...
    Firstly **** this place makes it hard to find how to post a topic

    I find it comical that EVERYONE was complaning about the lost of features for 2nd gen ipod touchs, yet even now people complain of lag issues, imagine if apple DID put multi tasking and wallpaper on the 2nd gen.

  • Why can't my ipod touch sync with itunes 11?

    I am currently using an iphone 5 and an ipod touch 3rd generation. I had to upgrade my itunes to sync my iphone but now I can no longer sync and back up my ipod touch. I'm not sure if it's because my itunes is too advanced for my ipod which is using IOS 5(I think). I remember I used to be able to put songs in and all but now itunes keeps asking me to restore it to factory setting which I do no want to do every time I want to add music. Is there any way to fix this problem? Or do I really have to restore my ipod every time? Please Help.

    Something happened and yo have to restore via iTunes. Backup to iTunes if yo can and then restore from that backup

  • Ipod touch full with 'other files' - can't see how to get rid!

    My ipod touch has 17.5GB of 'other' files but I can't see how and it won't let me sync all of my songs I've clicked through all the summary bits. I've unticked all videos, TV programmes etc so they shouldn't sync onto the device but nowhere can I see anything about other files! VERY VERY VERY FRUSTRATING! Please help!
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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.

  • Ipod touch working with only some earbud brands?

    All of a sudden, the Sennheiser earbuds I've been using when I run for about a year started making tracks sound..."robotic" or with an exaggerated echo. I tried my Apple earbuds and it worked fine as well as a pair of Sony earbuds and no problem. I thought it was my Sennheiser's that were faulty and grudgingly purchased a pair of  yurbuds to replace them. Same symptoms as before with the Yurbuds...Robotic and/or echo. Could this be the new OS? Could Apple have made it so that you could only use apple earbuds? They would not be so relentless would they?

    I just got a beats audio headset and it works absolutely great with my iPod touch. I suggest for you to buy one as well.

  • 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.
