Check for large files. Extremely long audio files, such as concerts and continuous mixes, can take up a lot of memory on your iPod Touch -- sometimes several-hundred megabytes for one file. When your iPod Touch is plugged into your computer, select "View" from the top menu bar in iTunes, then select "Viewing Options." Check the "Size" box and click the "OK" button. In your iPod Touch music library, located in the "Music" link under your iPod's device icon, scroll to the right until you see the "View" heading. Click it to view files in order of their size. Delete any large audio files that you don't listen to on a regular basis.
Delete apps you don't use. It's easy to acquire hoards of apps on your iPod Touch, particularly because there are so many available that are either free or 99 cents. Take a hard look at your apps and decide which ones you don't really use. To delete an app, press and hold the app icon with your finger until it wobbles and a black "X" appears. Tap the black "X," then tap "Delete" when prompted by your iPod Touch. The apps will still be available in iTunes on your computer.
Transfer photos to your computer. If you use the cameras on your iPod Touch frequently, your Photo Library can accumulate a lot of images taken with them, which can take up a lot of space. On Mac OS X, you can use Image Capture -- located in your "Applications" folder -- to transfer photos from your iPod Touch to your Mac. In Windows, click the "Start" menu and select "Portable Devices." Right-click where it shows your iPod Touch and select "Import pictures and videos." Delete the photos in your Photo Library on your iPod Touch.
The iPod Touch is much more than a portable music player, with extra features like two 5-megapixel cameras and the same system of apps as the iPhone. The iPod Touch lets you sync music, videos, photos, calendars, contacts, podcasts, apps and even books from your computer to access your content on the go. Loading your iPod Touch with all of your favorite things can start to take up a lot of storage space, particularly if you have large quantities of music, apps, videos and album artwork. You can view the current status of memory usage on your iPod Touch by looking at the Capacity Bar, located in the "Summary" window when you plug your iPod into your computer.
