Why is my iPod now only half full (when previously it was full)?

I recently suffered a failure of the hard disc on my Mac; the disc was replaced and the machine restored to its factory condition from my original DVD discs.
My iTunes music is kept on an external hard disc and so wasn't affected. I therefore replaced the iTunes library file to my hard disc, from a backup, and all should have been well.
I did have a probem that iTunes failed to find some of my music. but I've now resolved this, with the help of another user on here.
My problem is that my iPod, previously virutally full, is now only about half full - but as far as I can tell, there are no tracks missing!
Could it be that my newly-installed copy of itunes in copying the tracks to the iPod at a much lower sample rate than before, even though it is using the exact same music files.
Anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks

  • My IPod is running slower and says that it has low memory although it is only half full.

    My IPod is running slower and says that I have low memory although it is only half full.  I don't know if this is virtual memory or what it's referring to. Can anyone help me?

    Thank you so much! I didn't know that you could do that.  I just followed your instructions and there was a bunch of stuff on there.  I will see if this works!  I assumed that it was due to something like the virtual memory on my computer, but I didn't know how to fix it.  I didn't even see that in the manual.  I love my iPod and use it all the time so I was really worried.  I will reply in a few days and let you know if this solved the issue.  Thanks for the iPod education!

    With that behavior you need to take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for an out-of-warranty replacement.  In the US that is $269 for the iPhone 5.

    See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

  • IPad memory shows it's full - it was only half full when I last connected to iTunes

    Since I bought my iPad 3 (64 GB) and connected it to iTunes, the memory used has, until today, been about half full. Today, when i connected the iPad to update the iOS software, it shows, suddenly, that I have less than 0.1 GB left, yet I've downloaded very little in the last week since it was last connected, and certainly no more than I usually do in any week. Any suggestions?

    I suspect that your storage capacity is being taken up by "other". You can verify this by looking at the capacity bar in iTunes when your iPad is connected to your computer. "other" is basically all non media content like app data and documents, Safari History and bookmarks, Notes, Calendar entries, text messages, email messages, contacts and so on.
    If the "other" is taking up a huge amount of space, something is corrupt on your iPad. Restoring the iPad may be necessary to make this right. Sometimes the only cure is to restore to factory settings and then rebuild your iPad by adding the content back onto it - not be restoring from a backup. Sometimes restoring from a backup can help this situation as well. You may have to experiment and see what works.
    You can read this as well and see if recalibrating how the storage is calculated helps.

    Try the tips in the articles first, restore from a backup if that doesn't work, and restore to factory settings if nothing else does the trick.

  • Suddenly there is not enough space on my 1TB Time Machine Backup HDD allthough my MAC HDD ist with 0,5TB only half full! Time Machine wants 2 TB space.

    My Backup HDD for Time Machine has 1TB, same as my MAC-HDD. The Mac HDD is only .5TB full. But suddenly Time Machine wants 2 TB of space for the backup, allthough I have erased all earlier backups and the HDD is empty. I've activated file vault, but some time ago, so I don't think that's the reason.
    I also excluded Windows 7 on Parallels.
    What happened???
    I'd appreciate some help.

    What version of OSX are you on?
    It sounds like you may have a directory problem on your internal HD.  Verify it, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.
    Just to be sure the TM drive is really empty, erase it, per #1 there.

  • Why is my ipod running diagnostics/sccessorize test when i didn't tell it

    why is my ipod running diagonistics and now stuck on accessorize test screen when i didn't ask for it to run it and how short of resetting and having to start over to get it to stop ? thank you, melissa

    Resetting the iPod won't cause you to lose any data.
    To reset, press and hold the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo. This is how you exit diagnostics mode.
    Cheers!

  • TS3694 Why does my ipod keeps powering off, and when I turned if on, I have to press down the power button and the screen button at the same time ???

    Why does my ipod keeps powering off, when I have to turn it on ... I have to press on the power button and the screen button at the same time ??? over and over again. I just got this in December 2011 as a gift.

    I am having similar 'freezing' problems with many programs (Mail, Safari, iTunes, etc.). I have done a clean install of Lion instead of an upgrade when it came out. Perhaps something went wrong with my install? I'm thinking about wiping and reinstalling.
