Today while I plugged my iPod in to be charged something strange happened that I haven't noticed before. My ipod is a couple of years old (30gb photo) however, this morning it's name was "yoda" and it's Capacity was "176.77gb".
After running several variations of the above through Google I couldn't find anyone else experiencing this glitch. I did uncover numerous forum topics such as "what do you name your ipod" of which some names were amusing.
It's a shame that the reported space can't be used however, an understanding to why this is happening would be good.
