Why is my iPod showing full capacity when it reaches 6.4GB when it is a 8GB iPod?

'I've had my 8GB iPod for nearly a year now and recently i filled it too full capacity, meaning i had to delete of things off it to continue adding music. But when i checked in the settings it said that it was full with 6.4GB used and 0GB availible, even though my iPod is 8Gb. Any help would be much appreciated

The other part is used for the system files for the system to run.
The 32GB has only 28GB available for use because the rest is uesed for system files.
That's how it is for all the iTouches.

    Try this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538, and if necessary, uninstall and reinstall iTunes. It contains the drivers for the iPhone. If it is necessary to uninstall and reinstall, use this support document and follow the directions closely. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

  • Why does Photoshop not show PSD file image tile in 'Open File' when Facebook can?

    When selecting a PSD file in Photoshop the image tile just says "PSD" so visually you cannot select it knowing which version it is.  Why can't Photoshop show the image tile like Facebook can instead of having to use Bridge?  Bridge is a huge memory hog and to have to jump back and forth is a pain.  If I choose a file to upload to Facebook, I can see the standard file icons and also the PSD versions.
    Any ideas or should this be a request in the next update?

    That's happened a more than a couple of times where I spend 20 minutes carefully preparing a post and then find out some else got it.
    Anyway, psd icons in the Explorer is a sure sign of the Windows OS. They could work with Adobe to render thumbnails, but seems something I'm not privy to in their internal policies prevents that.
    Chris Cox did offer some insights. The OS vendors expect their rules to be followed, so if the OS does not respond properly, it's not Adobe's job to work around that. I do wonder how third party codec vendors do it. I'll have to ask.
    Btw, John Ellis has a quicklook plugin for the Mac that renders PSB thumbnails should you be interested.

  • Shows full bars and connectvity in wifi but when  hen saysim not connected

    I turn on my wifi at a hotspot at d mall and it connects to a network and shows full bars and connectivity but whenev I try to open safari or my email it says im not connnected to d internet... ??? ummm no clue! a lil help plis!!

    Some hotspots require additional authentication (you have to open Safari and click an Agree to Terms button, etc.). Others are 'open' networks, but require use proxy server which restricts access. If it works at home but not at the mall, the issue is with that network - you could try asking whoever's network it is.

  • I have a 16gb ipod touch 4th generation, 733 songs and 5 apps, yet it says it is over capacity and will not sync. however i know people with 8gb ipods and 1000s of songs? help please!

    just says my ipod is over capacity when it's a 16gb ipod so it obviously isn't, can someone help!

    How many songs depends upon the format of the some. Some are not compressed at al and they take up a lot of storage.
    In the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes you can compress songs that are synced to the iPod. Check the box that says Convert higher bitrate songs to XX kpps ACC. An XX or 128 is a good compromise of quality and compression.
    Also,
    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.

  • I was down loading music from my list of songs from my computer, the playlist on my iPod shows the title of the song, but there is no music, and the iPod shuffles to the next song

    I down loaded songs from my playlist off my computer to my iPod, the playlist on my iPod shows the title of the song, but no music plays and my iPod shuffles to the next available song. I down loaded about 300 songs at once, was that to much at one time ? How do I get those songs on my iPod without duplicating song titles on the playlist? Plus I have a couple of song duplications on the playlist, can't figure out how to remove them.

    If iTunes purchases, delete and redownload by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise delete and resync if they play OK in iTunes on the computer

  • Ipod shows full when it shouldhave space

    I have a 4G ipod. I had about 800 songs on it before it was accidentally wiped. I started putting songs back on it and only got up to 460 songs before it said it was full. I ONLY have music on it. I dont see how my capacity got cut in half. Help me please?

    Ok. Did you try to restore the iPod via iTunes again to see if that made any difference?
    And the instructions were slightly different because it was intended for XP users and you are running Windows Vista. To do this on Vista, head to start Start menu and choose "Computer". From there, locate your iPod in the list of drives (it will have whatever name you gave it). Right->click on it and choose "Format". Then leave everything as the default and go ahead and click OK to run the format. When it has finished, Restore it again via iTunes.
    If your iPod does not show up as a mounted drive on your system, make sure the "Enable Disk Use" option is ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.
    You may want to double check what format these songs are in and how big these files are. You can do this by right->clicking on any track in iTunes and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu.

  • Why does my 5s show over capacity but 3gb free space

    My itunes library currently has 21gb of music and the status bar for my iphone says music is 20gb. I want to sync the extra 1gb and I have 3gb free space after apps etc but when I try to sync it says I need an additional 19gb which is baffling. when I click on the "on this iphone" tab it shows as having no apps no tones no books and only one song but obviously my phone is full of data but not to capacity. I really want to listen to my new music any ideas on how to fix this?
    Im running the latest itunes and 7.04 on my iphone on windows 7 64bit.

    Please read this article for how to go about syncing music using itunes.

    It sounds as if to me you are attempting to sync OVER what has already been synced. Not really possible but I suppose anything can be done if trying hard enough. Please carefully look over the area which discuesses syncing either the entire library or selected artist, playlists or genresl.
    Good luck

  • Why doesnt contact list show full phone numbers

    Why doesnt full phone numbers show on iphone5

    Hi,
    What do you mean by "full numbers" ?
    And compared to what ?
    It sounds like that possibly your Contacts apps on iPhone and Mac are not syncing.
    Make sure this is On in both places.

  • Why is my tv show displaying incorrect summary artwork for the season when each episode as correct artwork?

    In iTunes 11, I have a TV Show with correct artwork for every episode. However, iTunes displays a completely different image for the "summary" image displayed on the main TV Shows page. Why is that?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Ipod is full with ''others''

    Hi,
    When I connect my Ipod (30GB) to Itunes, it shows on the capacity bar on the bottom of the Ipod settings that my Ipod is full capacity with half music and the other half ''others'' and I have no idea what is my ipod full with. I have checked everything and I don't even have photos or video's on my Ipod.
    Please help me!
    thanks,
    Danie

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    "Other" is the measure of used space on the iPod not taken up by Audio, Video & Photos. This includes the iPod's library and artwork plus any files you may have copied to your iPod in disk mode. The overhead for the library & artwork data is typically 1-2% of the size of the media, e.g. for 100Gb of Audio & Video expect to have around 1.5Gb of "Other". This information is needed for the iPod's operation and cannot be removed.
    If you have significantly larger amounts of "Other", not related to files you've intentionally placed on the iPod, then these are probably disconnected copies of your media files or iPod libraries left over from failed sync operations. The only way to recover the space is to do a full restore.
    If you have copies of all your media in your iTunes library this isn't a problem, but if you've been manually managing the content then I guess you'll want to try to recover the files from it first. See this post by Zevoneer on transferring files from the iPod to your computer. Some of the tools rely on the iPod having a healthy library which yours obviously doesn't however the manual method mentioned towards the end of the post would work.

  • IPod shows up in My Computer and iTunes diagnostic, but not in iTunes!

    Basically, I my iPod recently stopped responding. iTunes won't detect it when I connect it. The iPod shows up in My Computer and as connected when I run the iPod diagnostics through iTunes. iTunes also automatically opens when I connect the iPod. Why won't the iPod appear in iTunes, and how can I get it to appear? I don't care about anything on the iPod, as I have backups. Please help. Thanks.

    Oh yes, I've also tried Apple's "iPod recognized by Windows but not iTunes" page. I have reinstalled iTunes, reset my iPod, and even reset the iPod Service.

  • IPod charges fine, but uses it's batteries even when it's off??

    Okay, this happened recently. My iPod charges up fine, connects to my computer fine, everything. However, I have a feeling that it's using up it's batteries even when it's turned off. For instance, I charged it up to it's max battery level last night, and when I woke up this morning, turning on my iPod showed the no-battery indicator. Anyone know what's up? My iPod also gets really hot, too.

    I think its the battery itself, its just loosing charge and/or not holding it anymore, that can happen after a year or so of lots of use because the same exact thing is happening to mine right now, execpt for the getting hot part idk what that is about, but yeah mine will die over night on a full charge and only last maybe a hour when in use after a full charge it ***** and its gay because apple ends the warrenty after 1 year and thats usally when it starts happening.
