Ipod touch not showing songs in itunes

I connected my 4th gen ipod touch to my laptop as usual. I have over 3,000 songs on it, but when I click on ipod, then on this ipod, it shows up as zero items. All my songs are still on my ipod, and I use manually manage. I do not want to sync in case I lose everything as I do not keep songs on itunes library. The bar at the bottom shows up as though the songs are there but they are not showing up under devices. It says 9gb free, and the ipod is 32gb.

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Do the songs play on the iPod?

  • IPod Touch not showing up in iTunes, already read Apple Troubleshooting

    My iPod Touch is not showing up in iTunes on my iMac.  I cannot find it from my iMac when I search for it.  I have tried using different USB ports and have restarted the iPod and the computer.  The iPod does not appear to be charging through the computer either since there is no symbol across the battery.  I am able to use the same cable with the wall charger and charge the iPod successfully.   

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Why isn't the movie I bought on my iPod Touch not showing up on iTunes?

    I purchased a video while on my iPod Touch one night, but when I got to Sync my iPod, it won't show up in the movies section on iTunes, only on my actual iPod. Is there something that makes it so that purchases on your iPod can't be transfered to iTunes or am I doing something wrong?

    Did you try to transfer it by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    It is a purchased video and not a rented video, right?  If you have a 4G iPod rentals can't be transfered to the computer.

  • IPod Touch NOT showing up on iTunes! I've done everything!

    My iTunes sometimes freezes, and my iPod Touch (which is new) NEVER shows up on iTunes, maybe it's my external hard-drive? My iPod still doesn't connect with my external plugged out, and it shows up as a digital camera in "My computer". My old Nano shows up on my iTunes and My Computer, the original cable is not the problem, because my iPod touch shows up on other computers, not my desktop though. But anyways I've done a fresh, clean OS re-install, re-installed everything Apple (iTunes, Mobile Support, etc.) it shows up in My Computer, and it shows up in Device Manager under "Portable Devices" when it should be under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers", I have Windows 7 by the way. Thanks a lot in advance!

  • IPod touch not showing up in iTunes

    I'm running Windows 7 64-bit (and 64-bit iTunes). I have done EVERYTHING in the Apple troubleshooting. I reinstalled iTunes twice, restarted my computer and my iPod and have used every USB port on my computer. iPod touch 4th Generation running iOS 5.01 and iTunes is version 10.51 . What's weird is after I plug in my iPod and unlock it iTunes takes priority on the screen (like it takes view, so when I minimize it in unminimizes) but doesn't show anything.
    EDIT: I fixed it by specifically uninstalling Apple Mobile Device Support then reinstalling iTunes

    I too have been unable to get my Windows XP service pack 3 machine to recognize my ipod touch and it's been driving me crazy for the past couple of days!!(It had been syncing successfully for 7+ months.) I've tried all the solutions mentioned on the Apple site several times including unistalling and reinstalling itunes, trying all my different USB 2.0 ports, powering ipod and pc down and back up again, resetting my ipod and so on. I've unplugged all other usb devices and tried it. I also have a firewire port and it doesn't work there either. (It had previously) I've stopped and started my Apple Mobile Device services and watched as the Apple Mobile Device USB driver activates as soon as I plug my ipod into a USB port. What happens then is that Windows reports that "An iPod has been detected but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again." A dozen times later it's still saying the same thing. (For a time Windows thought it was a camera, but somewhere I found how to turn that off.)
    What's wierd is that my old ipod and itunes get along fine when I plug that one into the same USB port on my PC. iTunes identifies the old iPod and it syncs perfectly.
    Also wierd is if I connect my new ipod touch to my wife's PC, itunes and the ipod touch sync successfully as well.
    I've gone so far to reinstall Windows to a version in October, back when my ipod touch was working perfectly but still no luck.
    I don't know the fix but as far as I can tell my Windows XP machine is unable to identify the ipod touch but it has no problem identifying my older ipod.
    Does anyone have anything they could suggest?

  • Ipod touch not showing up on itunes or charger

    I plugged my son's ipod into my mac and it won't show up on itunes.  I then plugged it into the charger (it is 3/4 charged) and it won't charge either.  I plugged my iphone into the mac and it connected instantly.  I did upgrade my iphone via itunes about 2 weeks ago and am not sure whether this has something to do with it?  Thanks in anticipation

    - Does the iPOd work normally?
    - Try reseting the iPod. Nothing wil be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Look carefully at the dock connectory on the iPod . Loofk or corroded contacts, bend cotacts nd other abnormalities. Compare with iPhone.

  • Ipod touch not showing up in itunes 11.0.1 for windows

    my ipod touch is suddenly not recognized by itunes 11.0.1 or by my windows computer. anyone else experiencing this?

    I had the same problem, no one would answer me yesterday.  I have done the steps in the link lllaas has posted, NUMEROUS times.  NOW I Tunes has somehow deleted ANY and ALL music I had transfered over six years from my CD's and only saved the music I purchased.  My husbands old wheel style I pod can connect fine, I had to restore mine on my daughters older computer  and I did an "update/sync" twice on my computer after restore, but it would NOT restore ANY music on it after I completely restored the Ipod. Now, once again, I Tunes suddenly won't recognize the I pod.  It's not a USB cable or hardware problem as all other I pods in the house work fine on same stuff.  I am very very angry and can't seem to find a SIMPLE (I am not a computer move it around person) answer or fix that works.  As soon as I updated both I Tunes and then tried to update my IPod Touch, all this happened.  I can access ITunes on my daughters PC as I did NOT allow the ITunes update.  Sadly, we have different libraries and now mine and my hubby's library seems to be mostly GONE!  I have a backup but I tried the method to restore it and it won't take it.  I am beyond frustrated and keep reading that many of us have the issue but have not seen any answers that actually fix it.  There is a bug in ITunes 11 but they won't admit it. 
    Just wanted to say I have the same issue and hope lllaass fix works for you, after 15 tries, it hasn't yet for me.

  • Ipod is not showing up in itunes

    my ipod is not showing up in itunes. What's going on?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
