iTunes problem

[DarkEnergy]

So my iPod has very little space left. I wanted to add more music and I had to delete some other music in order to make room. Even though there should of been room, when I tried to sync it, it gave me an error that it couldn't sync (song names) because there was not enough room. So I deleted more songs and then all of a sudden when I synced it again, I had more than enough room. I thought ok...So I then tried adding more. I added one song and told it to sync and instead it showed it was copying 13 others including the one I added. I added 1 other and it again was trying to copy 23 others. Every time (3 times), I tried to add 1 song and it synced it, I had even more space left on my iPod....What???? I don't get it. I closed iTunes and re-opened it. Now it showed my iPod was over capacity by 2.16gb. But then after a few seconds that went away. It happens whenever I start up iTunes. To add to the confusion, my iPod shows it has 25.1gb of music used. I only sync to iTunes. However my iTunes music folder has used 23.7gb. What's up?

Restore your iPod.

 

Also, i guess it's an iPod Classic, which year ? these symptoms could mean a defective hard drive

It's an iPod Touch, 5th gen 32gb

That removes the hard drive failure, restore it then resync everything, also update iTunes if not already

I did and it's still messed up. My iPod says there is 2gb free. Same as iTunes. Everything is synced. If I add 1 song that is 140mb, iTunes will say over capacity by 48mb.

there should be an option to wipe and restore the ipod and start again. 

 

is this on windows right? do you get any errors about having to check the ipod when it is connected?
