Why can't i view music on my ipod

Today i connected my ipod to itunes to add more music. Once connected all my music on my ipod was gone. I try to transfer music to my ipod & it tells me there is no music on there.
Why has it done this?
What can i do to fix it?

I have the same exact problem with my iPod touch 4gen and my macbook with Yosemite.
I think the problem is connected to the last iTunes update (10.1.0.50): i noticed that I - and many other users - had this problem after installing it.
Unfortunately I think that the only possible long-lasting solution is wait for the new update... I think that if Apple sees that a lot of users are reporting this issue, it won't be long before they release the update, or at least I hope so.
For copying my songs back to my iPod when it deletes them, at first I restart the device in safe mode (keep the lock button and the home button down at the same time for 10 seconds), then I manually delete the songs from the iPod on iTunes, then I sync them all again.
It may need a couple of tries, but I'm usually able to get all of my songs back. (But you must have your songs stored on your computer too. I don't think you can restore the songs you had on the iPod)

  • Why can't I hear music from my iPod Touch in the car using the auxilliary jack?.

    When I am in my car I am not able to hear much of my music from my iPod touch.  I use an auxilliary jack.  Is there some setting or adjustment that can be made?

    No setting.
    Are you connecting it to the iPod's headphone jack? Do headphones work?
    Did it work before?

  • Why can't I sync music onto my iPod?

    I have the 3rd Generation iPod Nano. I've had it for a little over a year, so I'm very familar with how to work it, etc. I've been trying to days now, to add more music to my iPod, but, for some reason, I'm unable to. I'll connect my iPod through the USB Port and my iPod screen will stay stuck on, "Connected. Eject before disconnecting." I've gone under "File" to see if I can click on, "Sync *My name*'s iPod", but that option isn't given. I'll click on "My Devices", and I'll click on "Sync", but it won't sync. I've gone onto the Apple website and I've tried the "5 Steps of Troubleshooting" numerous times, and nothing's working. I have no idea what's wrong with it. What could be wrong with it?
    Just as an F.Y.I., my iPod's warranty ended ten days ago as of today. My sister also uses this laptop to sync her iPod Touch.

    Sure you don't have the iPod set to manage the music manually?
    You can check by going to the 'summary' page and you will see the option to:
    "manually manage music". Is that selected?
    If you want to auto sync your music etc, you need to click on the 'music' tab, where you will see the option to:
    "sync music" with either "all songs and playlists" or "selected playlists".

  • Why can't I sync music to my ipod without deleting the music already on my ipod

    I have music to sync to my ipod but when I go to the music tab of itunes it no longer gives the list of artists that I want to upload to my ipod. The only way I could possibly upload the music I want is by choosing to sync all music but that would require me to delete all of the music on my ipod and replaced with the music in my library. Unfortunately I do not have all the music from mt ipod in my library

    oes it finish syncing but not syn some songs? If so have yu looked at:

  • Why can't i drag music onto my ipod touch?

    When I try to drag an album by its cover, I get the "red star" icon instead of the green plus. When I try to drag a single item from the table view, I get no icon at all.
    All music has been ripped by me, on this mac, from CD. No DRM anywhere. The Touch was just factory restored from this iTunes. The computer is authorized, but I don't think that's relevant.
    Pre-restore, everything worked fine. Applications move back and forth no problem.

    Click on your iPod under the devices tab. When on the settings tab, make sure "manually manage music and videos" is ticked.
    Right now, iTunes is set to automatically sync music. Speaking of which, go to the music tab and uncheck "sync music".

  • Why can't I add music to my ipod after a system restore?

    A little more info on what went down, went to charge my ipod said couldnt find it and had to do a system restore. Did that, but when the back up part started, gave me some weird error msg. Help would be nice. Thank you!

    Was there just a bad network conneciton that you had? Sometimes that is the issue. If you do gain access to iTunes via your iPod again, you can go to the iTunes Store App > more > purchased > music > and then 'Not on this iPod'

  • HT2045 why can i play my music from my Ipod on my computer

    Dont understand why I am not able to see the song on Ipod on my computer
    I see the playlist for before but it won't open up and allow my to play on my computer

    You just need to change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" on your home PC before you connect it to your other PC. When that's done and you go to the other computer and connect, your songs will be accessible to play in the iTunes there.

  • Why can't I view videos in landscape mode on my new Ipod Touch 5?

    Why can't I view music videos in landscape mode on my new Ipod Touch 5?  I was able to with my first generation Ipod Touch. 
    I hate viewing a small version of the video.  If there aren't any fixes to the issue, there is no point in purchasing music videos.  Clicking the screenlock icon doesn't work.  It just allows you to view the small video in any mode instead of seeing album covers.

    Because that is how iOS 7 does it. To make a suggestion to Apple:

  • Why can't I sort music?

    Why can't I sort music on my iPod when it's connected to PC? I can sort the music in my library by any column.

    I have the same issue since the latest update.  I can no longer sort my music by song title on my iPad.  When I click on "Songs", it is sorted by Artist.  The songs aren't even sorted alphabetically by artist in this mode.  I checked on my computer and I have my music "Library" sorted by song title, not by artist. 
    This is very frustrating when trying to locate a song title.
    Any help?

  • Why can't i view on iCloud what is on my lost iPhones? i can see how much GB's they are taking up but can't click on the data to see what it is..

         Why can't I view my icloud backups on a new apple device using the same icloud id? Unluckily I lost 4 iphones in 2 yrs. all had same icloud acct on them, so when i log on to locate my current iphone on my macbook or on new iphone, it shows a list of all the lost iphones and their data take up.
    When i click on settings on my ios> go to icloud > storage & backup> manage storage:
    LOST IPHONE 1- 4.5 GB  DOCUMENTS & DATA : it shows PREVIEW 1.2 MB PAGES1.6 MB TEXT EDIT91.6 KB PHOTOS 3.2 GB
    LOST IPHONE 2- 3.2 GB  DOCUMENTS & DATA: it shows same thing just different gb's mb's kb's 
    LOST IPHONE 3- etc.......
    but you can't click on those documents & data to show what exactly they are so you can move them or save and delete. If I go into icloud there's nothing there from that long ago. is that data deleted? if i were to get that certain iphone back and turn it on would the pics, docs still be in icloud? it says all that room in my icloud is still taken up so where can i view it?? anyone know??
                            THANK YOU!

    If you haven't already, you could force-quit Quicktime by using the menu option from the desktop (finder) and choose Quicktime.
    Not sure what you have frozen on the screen, be it a failed movie, or some unusual screen shot. If you can find by date (created) you may be able to look for .mov or quicktime suffix name or other video file content to delete it.
    And you may have to restart your computer and perhaps run repair disk permissions from Disk Utility's first aid on the hard disk drive in your computer.
    Not sure if all that would help now, but it is something a few days late...!
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Why can't I view some videos on Some Internet sites?

    The iPad does not have Flash. Adobe does not make Flash for the iOS.So you either need a specific app, such as the YouTube app to view Flash video on the YouTube site, or you can get one of the very experimental Flash browsers for the iPad from the iTunes App Store.

    iCloud services merely "push" your Phto Stream files to enabled devices.
