Why won't my 4gen touch hold as much as other 4gen touches?

Okay so I have an 8gig 4th gen iPod touch, right now it has about 300 songs, 3apps and 54 pictures. And it's at max capacity. My friend who has that same iPod holds 600 songs 15apps And 200 photos. Why isn't mine holding the same amount as her? Is there anything I need to do so it can hold more?

The storage required for apps varies greatly and depends upon the specific app.
You can use different compressions for music and that greatly effects how many songs will go on the iPod.
If you connect your iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes how much storage is used in the different categories as shown in the colored bargraph? If the "other" category is > 1 GB or say that usually indicate it contains corrupted files and restoring the iPod should reduce the "other" category.

  • Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony speaker dock

    Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony RDP-X30iP speaker dock. I have bought a lightning adapter and find that there is no audio from the speaker dock and the dock does not charge the ipod.

    - Reset the dock
    - Go to Sony's support site and check to see if they say it will work with a 5G iPod touch (w/adopter).
    Also look for a firmware update.
    Sometimes this works:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Or, it just may not be compatible.

  • Why won't Apple update its iPAD to send messages other than imessages?

    Why won't Apple update its iPAD to send messages to phones with systems other and OS? I just purchased an ipad4 for my husband. This limitation is very frustrating. When I purchased and ipad3, I was told how to make the message go through as an SMS; however, this never worked. Had it not been for the fact that my husband has an iphone5 and getting an ipad with the same operating sytem simplifies things for him, it may have been better to get an Android tablet and switch phones!

    I understand that, but it does have a message system, so it makes sense that you should be able to receive ALL messages via this system.  I do have a phone and I can get them all, but if I sit down at the ipad to check messages, I only get those sent through imessage.  Sorry, I'm venting and you probably can't do anything about it.  Apple needs to wake up and figure out that if it doesn't change its protocol on the ipad, then people will switch to another system that does. Hoping that someone from Apple sees this.

  • Why won't my iPod touch (4th gen) no longer connect to wifi?

    Yesterday I noticed that my iPod Touch (4th generation) was no longer connected to my home wifi. It can see the network, but it won't connect. There is no error message of any kind, but the spinning wheel thing comes up to the left of the network name and it won't quit. I took my iPod to work today (as I normally do), and it did not join the network there either. Same thing- it saw the network, but would not join. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why won't my iPhone 4S hold a charge after updating to ios7 ?

    I accidental update my iPhone 4S to IOS 7 and now it won't hold a charge for a day? Why is that. I had no problems before the update ...

    I am having the same problem with my 4S since the last update. It was shutting off at 38% now today it shut off at 50%. It's driving me nutz and is not very reliable. Some one please suggest something to do. I was wondering if I should eliminate some apps that just updated one by one to see if that helped or just go through that nasty reset. I don't really want to do that but if I have to I will.

  • Why won't my iPod touch 3rd gen. let me slide to unlock? Could it be fixed for a low price?

    I come across my old iPod touch third gen. I charge and boot it up. When it got to the lock screen I couldn't slide it to open. I tried restoring it, and about 15-25 minutes later, it boots up, and I still couldn't open it. I dunno, like 2 years ago, I was charging it. I wanted to listen to my music with my earphones on. But it kept pausing the music, but I don't know why. So I got mad at it, haha, and threw it at the floor. And then I guess it stopped working. A year later maybe, I got an iPad 4th gen. And today I found my old iPod. And then found that it doesn't work. I just want to know if it can be fixed, but I don't think I will use it... There are no Apple Stores in North Dakota, so I don't know. I think the closest one is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. But I can't drive that far..... Just wondering, but doesn't really need to be fixed cuz I have my iPad    I love it so much :) but yeah. Just wondering. Thanks!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why won't my iPod touch recognize my 30pin cord? (1st generation)

    (ipod touch first generation) i plug in my 30pin cord(to charge and to play music on my car stereo) and it wont recognize it. i have to either apply lots of pressure of pushing the plug in and up in order for it to connect. i used rubber bands to hold the cord in tight but now it doesnt even work with them on. i was lucky enough to find a sweet spot if i angle the plug in then it will connect but that only works when i charge it from my computer. If i try that in my car then when i drive the car bumps it out of place and i cant listen to music without it stopping every now and then. i dont know whats wrong with it? maybe its broken? time for a new ipod touch?

    - Have you tried another cable?
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - If the dock connector is bad there are some thrid-party places that will replace the connector. Google for them. It might not be worth it for a 1G iPod.

  • Why won't my iPod touch sync with iTunes?

    I recently bought a new song and wanted to put it on my iPod.  Every time I went to sync it "timed out" and wouldn't show up on my iPod (ie the sync failed).  I tried updating iTunes.  My iPod won't get any new updates since its 2nd generation.  I've tried the diagnostics and everything checks out okay there.  My computer is up to date.  I thought I'd try to do a restore and now I have less songs and none of my apps.  It's now getting "stuck" on other songs from my collection.  Any help?

    Okay, so I think it may be the cable b/c when I hold it just right it works much better.  It still will get stuck on certain songs but when I try again it works.

  • Why won't my iPod touch turn on or charge?

    My iPod touch 4th Generation will not charge or turn on. I have tried to hold the power button and the home button for ten seconds to get it to turn on after I had it plugged into my macbook. iTunes does not recognize it. What do I do now?

    Well there's not much you can do yourself, since: 1) iTunes doesn't recognize it, and 2) it doesn't turn on.
    For you to be able to do anything, one of those needs to work.
    Unless I'm wrong, you should just take it to the Apple store. Getting it fixed for free by professionals will be worth the drive, and much better than having a dead iPod forever.

  • Why won't my iPod Touch even detect being plugged in?

    I have a 32gb 2nd generation iPod touch and everything was fine with it up until two weeks ago.
    Everytime I put it on any charging dock or plug it into its original charger cable(with a Samsung usb wall charger base), it either says "Charging is not supported with this accessory" or it won't even detect the charger!! And very occasionally will it charge, but then it'll only charge for a second or two before saying charging isn't supported. And sometimes it will charge for a longer time, but then in the middle of the night, it'll be "unsupported" again and then die! I don't know what's wrong and if I seriously have to go get it checked out and fixed, I'll have spent more money on repairs than on the device itself- POINTLESS! :/

    See the not-charging topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    Have you tried another cable?
    Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

  • Why won't my iPod Touch turn on anymore?

    My iPod Touch (8GB, 2nd or 3rd gen.) won't turn on.  It won't charge or enter recovery mode.  It isn't jailbroken, and never got wet... it just simply stopped working.  The computer doesn't respond at all when I plug it in.
    I've tried everything I can think of, short of breaking the whole thing open.  I'm out of ideas.
    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Thanks, I checked that link and (after a little link-hopping) I found one thing I hadn't tried yet.  Sadly, it still didn't work.  The nearest Apple store to me is almost a 40 minute drive away, but it looks like I might have to make time for the trip if I have any hope of getting this fixed.
    Starting to wonder if I should just buy a new one though...
