Ipod does not show my songs, neither does Itunes but says there is 10gigs

My ipod or my itunes does not show my songs, but they both say i have 10 gigs on the ipod.. any ideas what is going wrong and how i can fix it?

Try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • TS3716 My relatively new ipod touch 16 gb either does not show up as a drive or everytime says it does not recognize my ipod when connected to add music.  I didn't have problems loading music originally, but this is a new occurrence.  Could you help?

    My relatively new ipod touch 16 gb either does not show up as a drive or everytime says it does not recognize my ipod when connected to add music.  I didn't have problems loading music originally, but this is a new occurrence.  Could you help?

    Hey, Thanks a lot.  It took quite a bit of time to resurrect this ipod.  I tried the upgrade again, but still would not recognize my ipod. So I went to the next step and reset my ipod, wiping of all of the information like it was new.  This helped my laptop see the ipod on itunes, but did not sync. So, I deleted the itunes off my computer completely, restarted and then reinstalled the newest itunes, and then restarted.  Finally, it recognized my ipod and started to download each song.  It took awhile as there was 602 songs, but finally it works.  Yea!!!  I never had any problem with my old nano, but this touch has been another animal for sure. Thank you again and also the community for information.  This was a helpful forum and will recommend to others if they get stuck with their ipod or iphone.  Take care, Karen

  • My ipod touch 4g does not show in Windows 7 or itunes.  I've removed and reinstalled itunes, stopped and started apple mobile services and changed out cables.  Ipod is charging when connected.  I've also done a complete rollback to factory defaults.

    My ipod touch 4g does not show in Windows 7 or itunes, I've removed and reinstalled Itunes.  I've done a factory default, and I've changed out cables. The ipod shows connected but does not show.

    Did you remove and reinstall all the Apple software by:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Run this to see if it helps determine the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    Try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem'
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. Th...

    my Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. The filemanager does though. have tried every damn thing that i could, from the internet. no solution yet. Nokia wont address it. any solutions? please dont ask me to refersh my music player. nokia now manufactures stupid phones, instead of smartphones..
    can any one help, friends? the last option i have to sell it off and wait for an HTC qwerty mango 7.5 phone

    I perfectly understand that this is frustrating and of course Nokia should adress this.
    I do not work for Nokia so maybe you could contact them. I see you have been to a care centre and reset it, but hopefully by contacting them by email they can log the issue for further work on firmwares?
    I hope this sorts out. Have you btw, tried with some other memory card?
    If it's not too much of a struggle, try backing up everything you have on it and format it, then reboot the phone which will recreate the needed folders and then drag and drop your stuff back to it and check again.
    Hope you get it solved mate!

    A movie rented on an iPhone can only be viewed on an iPhone. If you want to view on TV you need to rent directly on ATV or via computer (and stream using home-sharing)

  • ITunes 10.6.1 update does not show newly imported music in viewer but files are in iTunes media folder, how to correct?

    Updated to iTunes 10.6.1.7 today from 10.5 on a Win 7 SP1 64-bit machine and attempted to add new music to the library by both drag-n-drop and import files; this new music does not show up in the library viewer but has been added to the iTunes media folder. My iTunes 10.5 version was working properly prior to the update. Any recommendations to correct this issue? Thanks!

    Immediately after the install, Windows was rebooted. I also attempted multiple variations of closing and restarting iTunes and/or reboot Windows. iTunes was unresponsive to mp3 files being added. Since I was unable to see the added music files to the library, I did not try to add other files.
    Out of frustration, I let iTunes run over night and to my surprise the added music appeared in the library viewer the following morning.  I can now add new mp3 (and AAC also) music files to the library and it immediately appears in the viewer.  How or why it now works is a total mystery.

  • Is there any succesful answer to the many questions about not functioning wifi after installing mountain lion? Also when awakes after sleep MB frezees, wifi can´t get active, dock does not show, in general MB does´t respond. All this in mountain lion.

  • Ipod does not show up in Windows or Itunes! tried everything!

    Here is the problem:
    This is a new problem. Ipod worked fine on this computer until recently.
    Ipod 5th gen does not show up in My Computer or Itunes.
    It seems that it happend after I installed the latest update to Itunes.
    What is happening:
    When Ipod is plugged into my USB (the same one I always used before) it never shows up in my computer or itunes and always says "Do Not Disconnect" never stops!
    What have I tried:
    I plugged it into my friends laptop! It worked fine. Window found it.
    I then used updater on it
    I did the 5 r's over and over again. Nothing
    I have reinstalled Itunes and tried that a few times
    I tried different USB ports, nothing
    I tried putting other items in my USBs and they work fine
    IPOD just refusses to be seen on this computer again.
    Any ideas? Thanks. This comp has my library and it is the one I use daily.

    Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.
    So I deleted the device out of device manager. Restarted and plugged it in. Although I go some weird error. It found the IPOD and now Itunes sees it.
    I believe that killing the process would have done the same thing as you stated.
    Thanks to all for taking the time to answer these issues. It beats the apple store or tech support.

  • Airport Express does not show up under 10.3.9 - but shows up under 10.4.9

    Hi
    my Room Mate uses an PowerBook with 10.3.9 and was able to use his Airport Express before without any problem.
    Without any reason the Airport disappeared from the options in his list in the taskbar, also looking for preferred networks does not show the station.
    BUT
    if I start my PowerBook - running 10.4.9 - with the latest Utility Program that came with my Airport Extreme BaseStation - I have no problems to identify, configure and connect to the Express Station!
    Why is my Room Mate unable to get the Airport Express on his Mac?

    Max,
    As I read it below, you both have separate internet sources and basically two separate wireless systems. He uses the Airport Express as a base station for his system and you use an Airport Extreme 802.11n for your base station.
    You said he used to be able to access the system but now he can't. What changes to the system were made during that period of time.
    Under these circumstances what I think I would try is for him to open up the old Airport Admin Utility, factory reset his Express, and then try to reconfigure it to build his own wifi system with the old Airport Admin Utility. Once he factory resets it goes back to the factory id and loses all memory of any system it may have been tied to.
    I'd call the new system a different name than the old system and if he uses security use a different password than the first one.
    The thing I don't understand below, if he has his own separate system, I don't understand how you can see and edit his settings because he's not part of your system. However, since you have to be using 10.4.8 or later for the new 802.11n Extreme and it looks like you tried configuring his system with the new Utility and he's running 10.3.9 - that may have something to do with it.
    Beyond this, it's out of my knowledge base.

    Force quit/Restart the Finder.

  • Windows 7 does not show my Ipad2 in my computer but Itunes does

    I have tried 2 diff. Ipad 2's as well as an Iphone 4 and windows 7 does not see them. any suggestions ?

    ITunes has nothing to do with the windows operating system so sync wont work because the photo's are on the pad not the computer. I will call apple support. I think it has something to do with the apple drivers for windows that changed in the latest upgrade

  • My Ipod does not show in source list in itunes

    I have recently downloaded itunes 7.7 (previously using 7.1) - my ipod is no longer showing in the source list in itunes although I get the usual clunk clunk sound when I attach it to the PC.
    I have tried to re-set unattached from the PC and attached to the PC to no avail.
    The only thing that I can think to do is to uninstall the ipod software and itunes and re-install both - but I will have to get some CDs first as I have a lot of tunes in the itune library which will be lost if I delete itunes.
    Can anyone suggest anything else which may help please??
    Thanks.

    I am having a similar problem. I have done the "5 R's" and even had my iPod replaced with a new one by apple (suspecting they couldn't solve the problem). But even now, with a completely new iPod, Windows (Vista) recognizes the iPod (as it did previously), but iTunes does not. The iPod displays that it is connected, but does not appear in the iTunes source list! Then, as soon as I disconnect the iPod (as there's no other way) then suddenly it appears and several error messages come up saying: "Jarad's iPod cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found." !!! This is so fustrating!!!! Is there anyone out there who can help?
