Won't let me upload songs...says memory full

This has just happened out of nowhere. My iPod won't let me update it or add songs because it says it says there's no room on it (that it's used like 755.mb or whatever, so it's almost totally full) - the thing is, there's nothing on it. No songs, no photos...no nothing. =/ Any help on how to fix this would be GREATLY appreciated....thanks.

Did you try the five "R"s first?

  • My iMac won't let me upload pics from memory card...HELP!!!

    I've had my Mac for 3 months and have never run into this problem until recently. I tried to upload my pictures onto my Mac and when I put the memory card into my memory card reader, iPhoto comes up, but it shows there are no pictures on the card. When I put the card in my camera I have 500+ pictures on it. I have also tried connecting my camera directly and it still shows no pictures on the card???
    I don't understand what the problem is, it's always allowed me to upload from both my Memory Card Reader and from my camera directly...
    Can anyne help me???

    Monica:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As a workaround open iPhoto's preferences and in the General section change the "Connecting camera opens:" setting from iPhoto to Image Capture. Close iPhoto and insert the memory card in the reader and see if IC can see your photos. If so upload them to a folder on the desktop to get them on the HD before you do further testing.
    First try the simple fix: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again. Have you run any updaters since the last time you successfully uploaded from the camera or card reader?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Iphoto won't let me upload from iphone! "Unrecognisable"

    HI!
    Someone please help!
    I was uploading my photos from my iphone and it wasn't working so I went into image capture. It worked fine and I copied and pasted them into iphoto...EXCEPT!!
    It won't let me upload the last few months (approx 1,000 photos) of photos on my iphone.
    Those last photos don't show up on image capture at all, like they don't exist, but they do. They are my most recent photos I've taken.
    I can view these remaining ones on iphoto,(unlike image capture) but it won't let me upload them either. Says "Unrecognisable format" or something
    Please help ~

    10.05 GB available
    Then you have the absolute bare minimum you need, and in reality, when taking temporary files into account, very likely much less than that.
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

  • IPod Touch 5th gen won't let me put songs on it?

    Soo I bought a new iPod the other day and I tried downloading my purchased songs onto it from the iTunes on it and it said they were downloading....but when I go to my music nothing is there. I have tried doing it at least five times and nothing shows up. It also won't let me put songs from my iTunes on the computer on it. It just doesn't show up on my iPod. When I go on iTunes and plug in my iPod it says I have like over 400 songs on it...but like I said, when I go to music on my iPod...there's nothing. Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    I'm having the same issue with a file called IMG_2353.MOV that was imported into iPhoto from my iPhone and also have to manually select the items to import (so the rogue file doesn't error everything out). I've tried using Image Capture to locate/delete the file directly from my iPhone, but even though I can SEE it in Image Capture, I can't delete it or anything. This is VERY frustrating! My friend/Apple guru's only suggestion was to backup my phone then restore it through iTunes. Risky but should do the trick. I'm too scared to try, though!

    Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games. 

    Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

    I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

    It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

  • Firefox won't let me upload files to nearly any Web site, so how can I fix this issue?

    Whether it is gmail, Facebook, or more specifically this site (http://www.carnivalentertainment.com/index.htm), Firefox won't let me upload any type of file. Of course, if the Web site offers a standard uploader then I have a better chance of having a successful upload, but if it is not offered, then I am basically out of luck.

    Dmitri2217Did you notice that the post you are replying to is almost a year old?
    Apple is not reporting any problems currently.

  • Switched computers due to a crash. I authorised the new one. It won't let me play songs in my library that were purchased from I-tunes

    Switched computers due to a crash. I authorised the new one. It won't let me play songs in my library that were purchased from I-tunes. Please help.

    All content that you download from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, and it can't be transferred to or merged with another account - so you will need to authorise that old account on that computer if you want to use its content.
    If you still have access to the email accoun then you can try getting the password reset via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password
    If you don't have access to the email account then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to the account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • E66- always says " memory full"

    Hi guys,
    do somebody has the same problem- and solution. I installed  latest 300.21.012 on my E66, but often / 2-3 times per day/ the phone just stops to answer to me and when i push some of the short buttons , the device says : "memory full, please close some app" and that is it. I have to restart the phone. The terrible thing is at morning clock alarm- i woke up and see that the phone is already blocked by himself.
    I format memory card, made a hard reset, after that update /reinstall latest firmware, but still problems.
    When a make a restore only of contacts & calendar appointments the problem is often. When i input them manually / ~70 rows/ the problem is showing seldom.
    Funny thing is that i do not have any problem with camera strips
    My greetings to Nokia for the phone, but i think the firmware is not suitable.
    Can somebody tell me some solution for this problem, or this phone is  just not reliable.

    My E66 problems after update /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&thread.id=53928
    I can't help but, something memorycard accsessproblems after update,
    (i think Nokia made some misstake in the update with the memorycard accsess).
     memorycard may not always work, then it store averything on phone memory instead.
    I by a new cheep 2 GB memorycard, with that i see no moore problems.
    Next update i'm gonna try without memorycard in the phone.

  • Map Loader keeps saying memory full!! (Nokia 5230)

    i was trying to download map for Hong Kong which takes 44.9MB
    and i tried so hard to squeeze my phone's memory, which has 49MB free now
    and also memory card, 76MB free
    also i chose memory card as the default memory for storage
    yet when i click download it still says memory full
    can anyone please help

    That is a bit of a tight squeeze. I would advice against saving it in the phone memory.
    Now, there is a setting in Ovi Maps which limits how much of the memory card you can actually use for map data. Even though there mioght be space on the card, you might still have exceeded this setting. To increase this setting. when in Ovi Maps, goto Settings>Map>Maximum memory use. Increase this as necessary.

  • ITunes won't let me import songs from folders

    hey for some reason iTunes won't let me import some songs, but it will others. I've checked and there is no difference between the songs, they're both MP3's, they have the same quality and they're even by the same artist!
    Any ideas why and how I can fix it are helpful.

    I having the same problem. I noticed that some videos were missing from my itunes TV Shows playlist. Also, when I tried downloading a file into my ipod, I got an error message stating that the file was not compatiable with my iPod. Only I got the file from iTunes! I've tried deleting everything and reloading with the same results. It will not upload several files. Most of which are already AAC. I've tried adding, importing, and copy and paste with all resulting in failure.
    This is becoming a total pain in the rear. If it's not one thing, it's another. I mean every since iTunes 7, the bugs keep mounting, and that before I switch to a Vista OS.
