Regarding Ipod Shuffle problem?

Question

I brought IPod shuffle 2 months back from Australia and recently when I tried to download songs from Itunes my half spaces (203MB of 512MB) is showing used as there is no song at all.
I am quite anxious what to do so please let me what might have happened and how can I recover my lost space?

Answer 1

Did you use a different computer than you normally do? Because unless you opt to update your ipod manually, it will automatically update it to whatever music is on the computer it's plugged into, which could be no music (I have yet to do that!) I also unchecked the boxes next to the songs, and there is a setting that says to only update songs with a check next to them (which is where my blank ipod came from!). There are a variety of things you can do in the program to make sure you don't get out of it what you expect. Go to apple and download a copy of the manual. It tells quite a bit of information.
