Recognizes Ipod but not playlists?

Hey, my computer is recognizing my Ipod when I plug it in but it wont show the playlists on my Ipod, so I therefore cant put songs onto my playlists and such. ALso whenever I plug in my Ipod there will be a prompt asking me to register my Ipod and what not, meanwhile it has already been registered, and I did it again but the prompt still comes up, any suggestions? Any help will be appreciated.

  • Help! pc recognizes ipod but not software

    I just had my 20 gb ipod replaced with a 20gb color display ipod. Best buy did not give me the software disc according to their "warranty". I used my original disc to download the software, and updated it by using the free download on the apple website. I now have itunes 5.0 and when I connect my ipod to the computer a window pops up saying that it recognizes the ipod, but that the computer doesn't have the software and to download it from their website or the installation disc. I need help! Please anyone who knows how to fix this

    See if you missed anything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port

  • USB1 Recognizes iPod But Not USB2

    Hi,
    I have a Dell laptop with WindowsXP installed. As far as I know my USB2 ports are all properly configured and working correctly. But, for some reason, when my USB2 is enabled, my computer doesn't recognize my (4thGen) iPod.
    In order to update the iPod, I have to first disable my USB2, then everything works fine, albeit, at a much slower pave than USB2 (obviously.)\
    Has anyone else had this similar problem? And, if so, any answers as to how to correct it?
    Thanks!

    I was milling around some other posts and tried all the suggestions I could find pertaining to this general issue (changing drive letter of iPod; removing all the USB ports, then re-starting the laptop; purchased an external powered USB2 hub; etc. - all to no avail.
    I'm now wondering if, perhaps, this might be a hardware issue, perhaps some type of conflict pertaining to the manufacturer of my USB2 Controller? ( Intel(R)82801/FB/FBM USB2 Enhanced Host Controller -265C )
    HECK, I DON'T KNOW! :>)
    Again, everything is fine and dandy if I disable the USB2 controller (above), then update, etc. the iPOd in the USB1-mode, but not OK when the USB2 is enabled.

  • ITunes recognizes iPod but not music

    Since I downloaded iTunes 7.3.0.54, it recognizes my iPod but does not show any music. However, it shows that the iPod disk space is 3/4 full but it's classified as "other data." Is there any other way to get that music to appear? I'm trying to avoid doing a restore if at all possible.

    I had this same problem and just got off the phone with Apple Support. She told me that I'm out of luck, I should have backed all my files up. Music, photos, whatever. gone. She explained to me its like a mini computer and these things happen. It doesn't matter what generation of ipod you have. So now I have to start from the beginning and will now archive all files. I know this is not the news you wanted to hear but maybe you can sleep tonight!

  • Windows recognizes iPod, but not iTunes or iPod updater, causes freezing

    I'm having some issues with my 60GB iPod Photo. I tried to store my friend's music on my iPod as files. Upon uploading them to my own computer, some files caused freezing, requiring me to disconnect and reconnect the iPod. I finally gave up and deleted all the files stored on my iPod. All of a sudden, although Windows XP Pro recognized that an iPod was plugged in, it would no longer open iTunes automatically. When opening iTunes once the iPod was plugged in, it would cause iTunes to freeze.
    I decided to restore my iPod. About halfway through, there was an error message saying my iPod could not be restored. All songs were deleted but my iPod was still not recognized. Now, the iPod updater does not recognize that in iPod is connected, even though Windows does. The updater freezes, inhibiting me from completing my restore. iTunes freezes as well when my iPod is plugged in. My iPod displays "update in progress - do not disconnect," but nothing happens. When my iPod is not connected to the computer, I can navigate through it normally, although it does need to be unfrozen when left unused for a couple of days. I cannot tell if it plays files because they were all removed during my unsuccessful restore.
    I have tried reinstalling all my iPod related software and I have tried my iPod on more than one computer with different USB cables, but nothing works.
    Help, please!

    This is exactly the same problem that I am having I have posted on 14th March on itunes forum. I wish you luck I wait with interest to see what someone says. My ipod was working like a dream until i downloaded the update

  • Windows Vista recognizes iPod but not iPad...

    Windows Vista (with latest service pack; 32-bit) will not recognize my iPad. It was able to before and my last iPad backup in my iTunes is dated back to March. However, now, when I plug my iPad in, it does not recognize it and does not even show up on the disc drives. I have gone through the numerous methoeds that Apple (and others) suggested including reinstalling iTunes, reinstalling the Apple Mobile Device Drivers, restarting my computer using msconfig, etc.
    To test out whether it was an Apple driver on my computer or not, I inserted my Gen 6 iPod Classic and it recognized it with no problem. If you know how to solve this, please let me know.
    Thank You,
    Tulga

    You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
    You can try:

  • My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone. What the heck???

    My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone what the heck? It was fine last week, now nothing

    When you plug in your phone go to the sidebar on the left, select the device, and select the menu you want to sync.
    For example at the top there is summary, info, apps, movies, etc.
    If you wanted to sync movies go under there and pick and chose the movies you want on the device.
    Let's assume you are doing that and syncing is not going properly. Then first double check that there is a checkmark in the top left of that page that says sync movies
    If there is uncheck and then hit apply. Then it will take all the movies off. Now re-check everything and hit apply.

  • How do you remove a playlist from the iPod but not the library

    How do you remove a playlist from the IPod but not the library?

    If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
    If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
    Hope thi helps.

  • FOLDERS ARE MISSING-on ipod but not on i-tunes any advice?

    HI I have been trying to get my ipod updated and it seems as though my folders are missing on my ipod but not on my itunes.
    I was using itunes 4.7 with my 4 button ipod(not sure the generation maybe 3rd) and I just updated to itunes 7 hoping to fix the problem. I am still getting the same error message that says my ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Elena

    I am still getting the same error message that says my ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist.
    while the ipod is plugged in and showing up in the sourcelist, click on the "Music" tab.
    you will currently have "Selected playlists" selected. go through the list of playlists beneath that, comparing them with the playlists that appear in your itunes sourcelist. uncheck any that no longer appear in the itunes sourcelist. check the playlists that you do want to sync to the ipod. click apply.

  • Deleting songs on iPod but not on iTunes

    thanks in advance to any reply!!!!
    originally, i have an iPod Photo 40gb. a few days ago, i bought an iPod Video 60gb. i use one computer, with one user.
    i actually have two problems. i hope nothing gets too confusing!!
    PROBLEM #1: in the days of my iPod Photo, i had a somewhat frustrating situation. i accidently (long story) deleted all my music files. this left me with songs on iTunes, and on my iPod but not on the computer. i was worried that my iPod would wipe out when i plugged it in, but i found the solution thanks to helpful apple.com! i didnt have to get my original music files back because the songs stayed on my iPod. though there was always an exclamation mark next to the song on iTunes. this meant i couldnt play the song on iTunes because there was no backup file, but i could listen to it on my iPod.
    i plugged my new iPod into the same computer onto the same iTunes program. it's uploaded all the songs except the ones with exclamation marks. is there anyway i can get these songs (a total of 192) onto the iPod Video??
    PROBLEM #2: i'd like to delete all the songs on the old iPod. Except i dont know how to do this without deleting all the songs on iTunes. i can't delete the songs on iTunes because i still need them for my new iPod. Is there anyway i can delete the songs on the iPod but keep them on iTunes for the new iPod? One last thing, if i manage to find the solution to emptying the old iPod, is it possible to upload it with new songs?? songs that i dont want on my new iPod. or am i asking for too much?
    THANKS!!!

    You have a couple of options:
    1) Change the update option of your old iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists". Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod, you can amend the option there. In manual mode you can delete the songs off the iPod and keep them in iTunes. You can also drag from iTunes the tracks and playlists that you do want: Managing Your Songs Manually
    2) You can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" which would mean you could create a playlist specifically for your old iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    For info:
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
