IPod library doesn't display on computer

Hi,
When I plug in my iPod now, I get a summary but I can't see the contents of the iPod. I use windows, is there anything that I need to do differently?
Thank you.

Click on the triangle next to the iPod in the source pane until it points downward.
Then click on music. There's your iPod library.

(ipod 30Gig) doesn't display the song that is playing on the ipod screen

Every time I click on the song I want to listen to, the screen slides over and the new screen is blank. The song plays but the song that is "now playing" doesn't display any information on the screen at all. It is totally blank. Has anyone ever heard of this happening. I don't want to reset my ipod for such a small problem because I've erased a lot of the music I have on itunes. At the same time it is annoying to not see the song name/length/volume or album art.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I actually had this happen once and a reset worked. I think you are confused by what a reset is. A reset is when you press and hold the Menu and Select button for at least 6 seconds or until the Apple Logo apears; this does not erase music on your iPod. A restore is when you use the iPod updater to erase all of the files on your iPod and put it in the original Factory settings.

Ipod mini doesn't display screen completely

Mini ipod doesn't display screen correctly. The battery discharges very quickly when not in use.

Have you tried any of these?
iPod won't turn on.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize the iPod is connected.
iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Restoring using disk mode is often the key.
If none of the above help, it will need service.

Sync musc on 1 ipod library and contacts on another computer

Hi,
This one is confusing. Up until today myself and my kids all had ipods and all use one itunes library (mine) for songs etc. This way we all share music. Today I purchased my son a new macbook pro. It is his first computer. I would like him to be able to connect his ipod so he can sync his calender as well as contacts. I also want him to be able to use the home sharing so he can listen to music from my computer but I still want to maintain the music on my machine. How can I do this? I do not need to transfer all the music to his computer.

First, turn off automatic syncing when iphone is connected.
I would assume that you could tell one computer to not sync music at all and only sync the info you want, the tell the other computer not to sync calendars and contacts, but to sync music.
With the iphone connected go to the information tabs in itunes and select the info that you want synced. Do this for each computer.
It may also help to do a forum search as this has been asked and answered before, there is probably more info.

Shared Library Doesn't Display Events

I want to share my iPhoto library with another user on the same computer. So in Preferences I turned on sharing. When the other user logs in and selects the shared library they just get a panel with thousands of loose photos unlike the original library that has them separated into Events. How do I fix that? Thanks!

There's nothing to fix, you can't share the Events. What you can do is share Albums. You can quickly create albums from Events simply by selecting all the pics in an Event (command-a) and going Shift-command-n (or File -> New Album from Selection)

IPod art doesn't display when phone is off with 4.2.1

I have a 3G iPhone, running iOS 4.2.1.
In the previous iOS, when I had the ipod playing something with cover art, and the phone was off, you could click the home button which would show you the track title etc with the cover art as the background image.
Now, with 4.2.1, I get the info but no artwork, just the wallpaper.
Is anyone else having this issue with the 3G? (I know it works as it should with iPhone 4.)

I had this same issue. Restart your iPhone. This should fix it, though if you add more music you'll need to restart again in order to have the album art display on the lock screen.

Why my iPOD 60G doesn't display all the artist & album name on screen?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is the name too long and it has a "..." at the end?
If so, this is normal.
I would...
Send Apple Your Feedback
And tell Apple that the artist/album info should scroll like the song name.
Or is this happening?

FCP X doesn't display iMovie clips correctly in Event Library

I have 10 years of clips that are setup by year/date in iMovie. Although I had imported most of the media in 2009, iMovie seems smart enough to read the actual file metadata and find the media recording date, which is prior to the import date. As a result, the clips are diplayed correctly in iMovie Event by Year/Month of actual recording.
However, the Event Library in FCP X doesn't do that at all and lists the events by "Content Creation" date, which is simply reads from the system file date, and NOT the recording date that is embedded into the file.
Bottom line is that Event Library is semi-useless as it doesn't all at display my clisp in the correct order, unlike iMovie that was doing it correctly.
Any ideas?

I went into Finder and discovered that FCP X created a directory structure where the files are in the correct Year/Month directory structure (as an exact mirror directory structure as the iMovie one), so it's even more weird that the Event Library doesn't display the events correctly???

Had to reformat my hard drive, now ipod doesn't recognize my computer

I was infected with numerous viruses and had to refomat the hard drive. When I connect the iPod, it doesn't recognize the computer as the same one, so I can't get the files that I already paid for off the iPod. Any ideas?

Yes, all you iTunes data are on the old drive. Get an external enclosure in which you may install the old drive in order to connect it to your computer and copy your iTunes data to your new drive.
Everything is on your old drive unless you copied it to the new drive.

My Album Artwork doesn't display?

I am not sure what's going on, but my iPod classic doesn't display album art any longer. It always has in the past. I am not sure how long it hasn't displayed. I just noticed the issue. Any ideas out there?

Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
Just a suggestion..

Try downloading the iBooks app and download there

I can't open my iPod library in iTunes, the app doesn't show the device at all, no error message, nothing, but windows 8 opens it like it would a flash drive. It has worked for me before just fine and both have the most updated software versions.

My iTunes doesn't have all the music that my iPod has. But when i sync my iPod it doesn' t put my music back onto my computer, how do i fix this?

So, I looked at my iTunes library and realized that i had a rather small amount of music on it, while i have a rather large amount of music on my iPod. I don't know where all my music went on my computer, and I have no clue how it isn't there. When I sync my iPod it doesn't transfer my music back or even give me the, "We found some music on your iPod that is no longer in your library, would you like to transfer these songs?"
I don't really know what to do, andy advice?

Never mind, the problem just fixed itself when i searched for an artist that wasn't there. That was odd.

I have an iPod Classic and the latest version of iTunes. I make all my purchases on my computer, but when I try to click the "add to" option and transfer the songs to my iPod, it doesn't work. How can I get my songs from my computer to my iPod?
