My Ipod says it has music but I can't see it!

Help. My wife plugged her ipod into my computer to recharge it and then downloaded music off itunes. When I plugged in my ipod later it thought my ipod was hers, and now I can't access any of the music I had on it before. It says that 3.8 GB are full, but I can't see any of the music on my ipod or itunes. What do I do?
Thanks,
Shawn

Try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings so be sure you have all your songs backed up in iTunes. Once the restore is complete it should connect to iTunes and you can begin updating your songs onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

I had a similar problem and after deleting endlessly...and weeks of frustration I (without even realizing what I was on to) deleted my text messages. I had been letting them add up since it seemed easier to text someone if it were readily available. Needless to say, I ended up with nearly double the space/memory available.

Did you look in the Music app? Tap on the More tab at the bottom and see if it is in there.

My daughter's ipod 4th gen has message "iPod isdisabled Connect to iTunes" but iTunes can't see iPod. How do I reset it? iPod has never been backed up

My daughter's iPod touch has been disabled by trying password too many times. When it is turned on"iPod is disabled connect to iTunes". But iTunes will not recognise iPod. It has never been backed up. I want to wipe it clean and restore it to factory setting. How do I do this when it can't be seen ?

Connect the iPod to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Downloaded app that I can't delete because it says it is open, but I can't see it open anywhere to close it!

I downloaded Boom (some sort of speaker app) that I don't want (it was part of a bundle) and now that its free trial has ended it has muted ALL sound on my computer. I can't select internal device for speakers, it just reverts right back to Boom. So delete Boom, right? Except I can't. In finder it tells me it can't delete it because it is open. But I can't find it open anywhere - not in my dock, not with command+tab, no window... How do I find it and get it the *bleep* off my computer so I can get sound back?!

Sometimes Google is your friend.

Where is my song? It says I bought it but I can't see it

I bought a song (Airplanes by B.o.b feat. Hayley Williams), and it wasn't in my purchases list so I thought I'd go buy it again, But when I click the buy button it says I already have that song and I still can't see it. the money was taken from my account, but where is my song?

I had the same issue for awhile and I gave up on it. I just recently got up and decided to do something about it, googled it and saw you guys had the same issue. So it gave me motivation to figure it out again. Eventually I figured it out. Hopefully the same steps work for you guys. Not sure what fixed it because I tried two things before I went back to Itunes to reattempt.
My goal was to try to delete cookies. Being new to Mac. I didnt know what i was doing. I ended up erasing my safari history before I figure it out. The second thing I did was go to Safari, Click on Safari (top right) and hit "Reset Safari..." Gave me a few options here. I selected "Clear History, Reset Top Sites, Remove all website data, Clear the downloads window. I went back to Itunes and my first attempt to redownload a song pop up a notification that I had a preorder available to download.
I hope this helps you guys like it did me.

Photos are on Ipod but I can't see them

In the past I have successfully put pics on and off my ipod. Right now I can see in itunes and on my ipod my photos are there but I can't see the actual picture. All I see on my ipod is the outline of the picture and in slide show settings I get a black screen.
I took all the photos off and put them back on and still nothing but a blank screen.
Help?

There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.

IPod Classic 80GB - "iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" It says it has synced but it hasn't. Help please I am not very tech minded

iPod Classic 80GB. Message reads ' iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation'. It says it has synced but it hasn't. Please help, I am not very tech minded.

See this article about troubleshooting the error message regarding access privelages. It may be preventing your iTunes library from being able to save/retain music you have recently imported to it, which may explain why no new content is being added to your device.

Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Transfer all of your content to the computer:
Tunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer

Then try turning the device off and on again. I'd leave it off for 10-15 minutes, but that is up to you:

If the item is still there, you may need to restore the device:

Hope that helps . Worst case scenario, you may need to write into iTunes support to see if they can also help!!

If my ipod nano already has music on it but not my account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my account

if my ipod nano already has music on it but not on my new account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my new accont and would i still be able to add stuff from the old account to my ipod

All your iTunes Store purchases are linked to the account. I do not think you can use two accounts with an iPod*, so you will have to choose one account or the other, and use only the things purchased under that account.
*I've never actually tried, but that's my understanding. You'd get a better answer by posting in the correct forum. Try the iPod forums rather than the Using Apple Support Communities forum.

As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

My iPhone is saying its taking up 10g of photos and I only have 154 pictures. Also when I got my screen fixed I had 2,000 and when I got it back I had 0 but my wallpapers remained.. Very strange. It's as if my phone still has the pictures but I can't see

My phone is saying all my storage for pictures is taken up when I only have 154 picture.. It happened when I got my screen fixed at a kiosk in a mall and I had 2,000 pictures when I gave it to him and when I got it back I had 0 but my wallpapers remained.. Very strange it's as if my phone still has the pictures on there.. But I can't see them. Anybody know what I should do :( I keep having to delete apps because I have no more storage for no reason :(((

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
