When syncing my iPod touch, a message appears on iTunes that there is not enough free space and therefore I can't sync any new music... but when referring to my iPod touch, there is plenty of space available. What can I do?
Thank you for responding so quickly. I took a photo when I asked the question, but I was doing it from my phone and the file size was too big, so wasn't able to include it...
As you can see by the photo, iTunes is saying one thing, whereas my iPod is saying another. And so I'm not sure if it is iTunes or the iPod that is incorrect. After a few more failed syncs, I removed the 4Gb video, but kept the new music that I was trying to sync across. The sync then worked, the new 'Available' storage on the iPod reads 8.17Gb, so I'm confused as to why the 4Gb video won't sync across (the file is compatible with iTunes and the iPod, as I have previously had it on my iPod).
iOS, itself, needs a certain minimum of free data storage space to function properly/nominally.
Typically more than 2 GBs and I advise maintaining between 3-4 GBs of free storage space, at all times.
Your iPod simply did not have enough avalable free data storage space to copy data to its buffer, then to the device because your iPod Touch didn't have enough free data storage space to hold onto the data, while transferring, AND to keep iOS running.
You never, EVER want to completely fill up a mobile computing device OR computer with data.
The operating systems of these computing devices need a certain amount a data space available to the OS for it to operate normally and optimally.
Not enough free space when there is
