Then reload the songs from iTunes.

  • IPod won't display songs in MyMusic folder; can't copy songs to iPOd

    I formatted my HD. I copied the library of the iPod back onto the computer into MyMusic. However my iPod won't display any of the songs that I recopied onto the computer. I was forced to reformat the iPod. My song library is in MyMusic the whole time but the iPod won't display any of it. How can I get my iPod to display the songs in MyMusic? I can't copy the songs onto the iPod as the songs are already in MyMusic.

    Yes. I can see it there and play it as well...I just can't get it to transfer to my ipod from the itunes library. And it only happened with a few songs and I don't know what I did to make it so that it only trasferred to my library and not my ipod. But it is playable and viewable in my library and only when it is connected. Otherwise only the songs that are already on my ipod are viewable.
    Does that make sense?
    Let me know if it doesn't
    Thanks so much

  • Ipod won't display song info under "Now Playing"

    I searched for this, but couldn't find an answer. My 60GB IPOD works fine, plays fine and displays info (and movies, photos, etc.) correctly in all areas except the "Now Playing" screen, at which point it won't display any info (song title, artist, album art, etc.)
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    My ipod had this exact same problem.

  • TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

    I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

    It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

  • My iPod won't import all the songs on iTunes

    My iPod Classic won't import all the songs in iTunes. Any ideas?

    Hello Tony,
    It sounds like you are trying to transfer music from your iPod to your computer. 
    Are the songs that are transferring over iTunes purchases?  Music imported from a CD or other source that is on your iPod cannot be transferred to a computer from your iPod, but music purchased from the iTunes Store can.  You can find more information at the following link:

  • Ipod won't display but music still plays and i can move around in menu...

    My Ipod mini won't display anything on the screen even after I reset it, I even hear the click type sound come from the headphones when its turned on. Right now I'm listening to music and the screen isn't showing anything is my screen broke???If it is what do I do???

    Open the iPod Software Updater application. It can be found by clicking on the Start menu, pointing to All Programs (Windows XP) or Programs (Windows 2000), and then point to iPod.
    It says that but in the computer I don't have an Ipod thingy in my programs???

  • IPod won't display already played podcasts

    Since I installed iTunes 7, my iPod won't show podcasts I've already played. Previously, they would still be listed, just without the blue dot indicating podcasts that haven't been played yet. Now, as soon as the podcast has been played, it disappears from the listing on the iPod. They are still listed in iTunes.

    Yes. I can see it there and play it as well...I just can't get it to transfer to my ipod from the itunes library. And it only happened with a few songs and I don't know what I did to make it so that it only trasferred to my library and not my ipod. But it is playable and viewable in my library and only when it is connected. Otherwise only the songs that are already on my ipod are viewable.

  • IPod 30 Gig displays zero (0) songs

    I charged my iPod 30 gig last night and went to listen to my podcasts this morning. First there were no podcasts (I had transfered them last night so they should have been there). I then tried to listen to some music. The iPod is showing 0 artists, 0 tracks, 0 album, and 0 genres. The iPod is full and yet the about display shows 0 songs and only 97.5 MB of available space.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this? I don't want to have to reinstall the iPod software.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Okay, a brief update about my problem. I have reset the iPod numerous times. No luck. I have run the diagnostic mode auto test. It said everything was fine until the FW (FireWire?) test. I assume it just sat there as I didn't have anything FireWire to plug into it.
    Anyone have any more thoughts? Is there something specific in the diagnostic that I should be running?
    Thanks,
    Tim

  • Ipod won't connect or recognize songs

    One day my iPod randomly said there were no songs on it. After a little more investigation I noticed my iPod contained nothing but the games included in the purchase. I checked the settings and all of the data was there but it was being recognized as the "other" data type. I plugged the iPod into my computer in an attempt to solve the problem but iTunes froze as a result. Eventually it unfroze, but the iPod never showed up. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Not sure I fully understand but if one used to work and one is new, sounds like a problem if neither one works. I killed the battery in my first ipod after one year. It was new but I used it constantly. I did not know what was wrong at first. My computer read it and loaded songs but it didn't work when I unplugged it.
    I just had some major problems with my computer and had to start using a newly created user account. I had to start with a new desktop and begin with new itunes library. Play counts were all 0 and I had to transfer all my music files from my hard drive to the new itunes library using a brand newly created user account. Might wanna try that, kinda fun starting with a new itunes library and making new playlists anyway. I think your 2 year old one may have dead battery, mine only lasted one year. Now I have six and rotate them so the batteries will last longer. I got one that is dead now and it might be the battery. Some of them are lemons and have to be exchanged.
    Good luck!

  • Song library in IPod won't display on computer

    I'm hooked up to my work computer and have music managed manually so I can play the songs already on my IPod. How can I view those songs and not the ones on this computer?
    Thanks.

    Is there a triangle next to your iPod in the iTunes source list? You should click is so that the triangle points down. Your library and playlists should then be able to be selected.

  • Video IPOD won't display songs, albums, playlists!

  • IPod won't display in iTunes

    Recently I started having problems with my iPod skipping songs - it would show the song, but skip right over it to the next song when I tried to play it. This didn't happen with all songs, but quite a few of them.
    I used the restore in iTunes to rest my iPod, and now it won't show up in iTunes at all. I've tried all the suggestions on Apple's page - restarting my computer multiple times, re-installing iTunes multiple times, using the Windows Install Cleanup Utility, etc. It show up in Windows as a hard drive, and I know it's connected because it's charging. I even ran the iPod diagnostics in iTunes and it says everything's fine, but it still isn't displaying as a device in iTunes.
    Please help!

    It may be a drive conflict:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
    Or you may need to reformat your iPod in Windows. To do so right click on it in Windows, select disk management then format. Use FAT32 format and deselect quick format. After this restore it again in iTunes.

  • Is there a way to fix ipod touch screen display problem with song list?

    I was wondering if anybody has had this problem? I have an ipod touch 64gig 5th gen for probably about 2 years. I hardly use it because I have it as a back up ipod until primary one dies. This is the first time I came across this problem. Upon turning on device, the first artist/song list I choose displays correctly. Once I start choosing any other artist/song list afterwards, the display for the 1st artist/song list re-appears. If the song list is only a single song to 3-4 songs it will display correctly. Any other song list I choose that consist more than 5 songs, the first artist/song list re-appears on screen like the display is messed up.
    For example: Upon turning on device, I choose Aaliyah with a list of 9 songs displaying.
    Upon trying to select a different artist and song, for example I choose Nachtmar with a  list of 20 songs.
    The Aaliyah with the list of 9 songs re appears in place of the song list I am attempting to choose. The songs play and it works, but the display is incorrect. Why is it doing this? Does anybody have this problem? I have tried resetting and it has currently been updated. I have came across this problem just very recently a couple of days ago. I have had a couple of hard resets requiring to erase all data in the past and I don't want to go that way again because I have about 3,500 songs. I have never experience this problem before in the past. I just want it to display the current list of songs. It's inconvenient having to type in every song while playing in the car instead of being able to easily pick an individual song.

    I have this problem too and it drives me crazy. When I view my ipod, I don't want to see a list of the first 8 songs in my ipod library. I just want to see the current song playing. It's like the ipod display goes into some type of "sleep" mode while your music plays,and the display defaults to show the first few songs in your ipod touch library, even though none of those songs are currently being played. I have to take the time to either flip the ipod over a couple of times in order for that list to disappear just to see the current song playing.
    This is an example of what I see on my display after the current song begins playing. These are the first songs in my ipod library. To get rid of this view, I have to either shake the ipod or flip it over a couple of times and the current song is now displayed, allowing you to see the current song, also allowing you access to the arrows to either fast forward or playback/reverse. On the display, the songs are in a grid or table format (unable to show that here).

  • Itunes won't display any Japanese song titles

    Any ideas.  I recently downloaded the latest itunes (10.4).  Prior to this all my song titles displayed correctly in both Japanese and English.  Now, only some Japanese Artists (in Japanese Characters) will display correctly in the library, but the songs will not.  All the songs show up on my ipod touch 4 though and all the song titles are associated with the songs in the files.
    I have an Dell running XP and have Japanese fonts installed.  I have checked my library and the song titles show when I right-click and open up 'get info'. The song is there and the title shows there, but it doesn't show if I just have the library showing.
    As for trouble shooting - I have done the following:
    a) reinstalled itunes
    b) retyped the song titles in Japanese
    c) played songs
    d) converted ID3 tags (which just moved the song and made things worse)
    e) reconverted ID3 tags which did nothing
    Apple - How can I fix this?  If I can't, please ensure the new Itunes 10.5 or 11.0 will resolved this issue.  If not, can I re-install the old itunes version of 10.1 or 9.? ?
    Thanks for your help.

    I am having the same problem. Why do we keep using Apple when their support is so pitiful? You cannot contact Apple about problems. Hopefully they will eventually correct the problem. Good Luck.
