I looked around for you and did some reading-
I read that some ipad's and ipods have a limited storage capacity.
Deleting songs should of freed up space and in your case it didn't-
I wonder if there is something being kept in a registry file on your ipod that is preventing space from being freed?
Depending on who made your ipod you may be able to find the manufacturer's website to be of some help.
thank you guys, but i wonder how to doing it by using linux FC17; may i install iTunes ?
is there a Trash folder to delete inside the ipod ?
thanks in advance
Hector
If there is a way of using Fedora to install your iTunes it may be on the www.fedoraproject.org website. Sorry I don't know more; I'm still learning about Fedora and studying the kernel-
There could be a trash folder within the ipod but I'm not sure how to check that-
If your ipod's an 'Apple' maybe otherwise I'd check in the booklet that the ipod came with.
If not try the manufacturer's website or call the 1-800 number for support.

arent all ipods manufactured by apple (foxconn at least) so i dont think they support linux. calling the 800 number will result in them telling you to buy a mac.

Not sure if all ipods are made by Apple; I don't have one-
Your right schneidz; I can see where being told to purchase a mac could come up and go over like a lead balloon-
Scratch that idea-
I did several Google searches to try to help:
How to configure ipod in fedora 17 was one but that only applied to servers, system proxy's and installation documentation.
I don't get why Fedora is not allowing hDUQUE to be able to install his/her iTunes-
You'd think that there is a work around this-
I'll continue to look; perhaps another Linux user has posted and the iTunes were successfully installed-
Anyway I'm not the expert on this as I just started reading the documentation on Fedora 17 today.

apple makes itunes which used to be mac specific software until they recently made a port of it for windows. so until they make a version of it for linux the only option would be installing it in a windows/mac-os virtual machine running in linux or running itunes in wine.
when i was using fedora 8 ,9,11 on my even older "nano shuffle "
rythombox can write to the nano BUT as a mass storage device using a "play list"
or
using GTK-pod to use the apple database
BUT
using apples itoons( see below) program on windows XP would WIPE EVERYTHING that was NOT put on the ipod BY apples tool
just plugging it in ( on XP ) was enough to kill off all the music that was installed on it using Fedora
itoons on wine ??????
use Windows 7 for i-toons ( yes the mis spelling in on purpose)
