DawnM Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 getting an 8gb iPod touch. Dh told me, "Oh, many people have them at work and say 8gb is plenty and they haven't come close to filling them up." Since they don't come in 16, you are limited to 8 or 32. I figured 32 was way too much. Sigh. We filled it up the first month as the kids like playing apps. I really wish I had sprung for more memory. It is such a pain to delete stuff to get new apps. Just thought I would mention it for those who may be looking for an iPod touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility7 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I feel your pain!! I have a 4 GB iPod Nano - no apps, but I have the Bible and lots of lectures, and I'm constantly having to get stuff off to fit new stuff on. I just bought an iPod for DS so I can put all of his audio books and memory work on it, so we don't have to juggle a zillion CDs all the time. I learned my lesson and bought him a 120 GB one off eBay! It is used - hopefully that won't come back to bite me. If it works out well, I might look for a larger used one for myself as well. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebra Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I got a 4GB and I completely regret it. I had no idea I would use so much memory! I'm thinking of getting a 16 GB and DH told me I should get the 32 GB one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karenciavo Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 does iCloud work with the touch? I've been using it with my iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I am sorry. That stinks. I would be lost without my 32gb sd card on my tablet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yes, we use it with iCloud. Dawn does iCloud work with the touch? I've been using it with my iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in Neverland Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yep. I bought a 16G ipad and I totally regret it. Always buy the most memory you can possibly afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
besroma Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Always buy the most memory you can possibly afford. :iagree: I always want to save money, but DH reminds me that if I don't get enough memory up front, I'll pay more in the long run.

Perogi Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Me too!!! Dh surprised me with an iPod a year ago for my birthday and neither of us realized how quickly 8gb would fill up. I'm thinking about passing it on to dd with just her audiobooks, apps and memory songs and getting one with a bigger memory for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 I have pretty much done that. It is used most by my 8 year old. I now have an iPhone, so I don't use it much anymore at all. But even the 8 year old gets frustrated when I tell him some of the apps need to GO to make room. Dawn Me too!!!

Tammyla Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thank you for posting this. It's always so difficult choosing what is needed and not with so many electronic devices. getting an 8gb iPod touch. Dh told me, "Oh, many people have them at work and say 8gb is plenty and they haven't come close to filling them up." Since they don't come in 16, you are limited to 8 or 32.

nukeswife Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 That's why my motto is always go for the most memory you can afford. I'd rather have too much than not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mergath Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That's one of the reasons I'll probably never get an ipad. My laptop has 500 gigs, and it's half full. I could never get by with eight. Or even thirty-two, for that matter. How do people do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymilkies Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 It seems like a bigger problem with the new updates. I used to not have this much trouble, but now I can barely have anything on there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even thirty-two, for that matter. How do people do that? I can easily get by with a 32 or 64gb iPad even though my laptop has over 500 gig of room, because apps are generally much smaller than a computer program would be. I don't keep a lot of movies, photos, or music on my iPad either. I'm very picky about what music I have on my iPod, I don't keep it all on there, but can always get to it if I want to add or change anything. There is no way 8 or 16 would be big enough for me with either and iPod or iPad, but the middle to larger ones are fine. My iPad wasn't bought to replace my laptop, but to make life easier when I need my digital TMs or and educational game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraidycat Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I just traded DD Ipods. She had an 8, I had a 32. I don't play a whole bunch of games on it, so I didn't need the room for all the apps, plus all the digital movies we have are kids movies so they can be on her Ipod, instead of mine.
