Can't see any songs/etc on Nano even though iTunes says it has!

Hi,
I had a problem with my nano today so I followed the instructions on this website for troubleshooting and restored my nano back to factory settings, reinstalled the latest copy of iTunes and then copied songs back onto my nano.
Now whenever I connect my nano, it keeps asking me to register it (which I've already done). Then when I click on Finish, it then automatically 'updates' and according to iTunes it says that it has loads of tunes on it. As soon as I disconnect however, I can't see any songs, playlists etc on my nano.
Another thing is that before disconnecting I tried to change the update setting to manual. After disconnecting and reconnecting however, it's somehow changed it back to automatic.
What's wrong? Can anyone help me please?
Thanks,
Newbie

Put it into disk mode first:

Then change the drive letter as in the last article.
Once you've done that, eject the iPod and reset it.

Then you can reconnect it, and you should be able to take care of it in iTunes. You just might have to restore it once more, once you get the drive letter changed.

I can't see any button to purchase movies, music on Itunes Store on my PC (Windows XP SP3). Latest version of Itunes is installed.

Do you mean that you don't get purchase buttons against items or that those categories don't show on the store homepage ? If the latter then not all content types are available in all countries - a full list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599

ITunes 10.5 can't find any of my original files, even though they show in my library

I was hoping you could help me with iTunes 10.5. This update has been a pain. When I first installed it, my entire library was gone. Luckily, I saved the "iTunes Library" file before updating and copied it in place and my library appeared. But now the problem I'm having is that the iTunes can't find any of the "original" files, even though my iTunes Media file location has not changed (it's on an external network drive". When I click on the "Do you want to find the original file" I can find it in the appropriate folder. I checked the "Preferences" and under "Advanced" I re-mapped it to the appropriate location and already had the 2 boxes for iTunes organizing files checked. Then went to "File" and "Organize Library" and clicked the first check box and then got the "Copying Files" bar. When this was completed, I thought it would be able to find the original files. But I'm still getting the same error message about not being able to find the "original" files. Do you have any suggestions?

Can't upload ANY songs to iPod Nano 3rd after upgrwding to 1.0.3 yesterday

Despite the fact that it was touchy from the start uploading songs to this iPod and I had to reset it frequently, since I upgraded yesterday to the new 1.0.3 program for iPod, no go in uploading any songs, no matter if I sync or manually try to transfer songs or checked songs and playlists. It will let me upload podcasts and photos but no songs whatsoever. Does anyone know why or have this problem? Does anyone have the solution?

This is a huge problem about which there are many posts:
Paul Spudis, "Can't update iPod after downloading update" #94, 03:01am Oct 6, 2005 CDT
Different people have found different solutions to be effective. For many, none of the solutions found so far have worked. The best you can do is to go to the noted thread and try the various things others have done and hope that one works.
So far, Apple has completely ignored this problem.

Can't see read messages in my inbox even though filter is not on.

I can only see unread email messages in my inbox even though the quick filter IS NOT set to unread. When I read an unread message it is then unhighlighted, but when I close Thunderbird and go back in, only the unread messages show up and the read message disappears. This is not an issue in any other folder other than the Inbox.

Thanks, it was View->Threads->All. I don't know how this was changed but I'm sure it was a problem between the keyboard and chair.

Can't see the songs listed on the IPOD in Itunes

I cannot click on the IPOD administrator when connected to Itunes and get the song listing on the IPOD shuffle. All I get is the IPOD shuffle settings screen (showing Software version 1.0.4, capacity, serial # etc)- no listing of the songs, This is a recent problem - in the last 2 weeks. I have downloaded latest IPOD and ITUNES software and it does not fix the problem.
Can someone please help?

Not dumb... It's actually a bit confusing with the latest version of iTunes, and it only affects 1st and 2nd gen shuffle users.
Before, it was Settings and Content. And they clearly looked like separate "tab" choices. iTunes 11 changed the wording to Settings and On This iPod, and it's harder to see the separation as "button" choices. So, it looks like it says, "Settings on this iPod." On other iPods, it starts with Summary (not Settings) there are more button choices there (not just two), so it's not as confusing that the last one is On This iPod.
Thanks for reporting back with the outcome.

IPod touch (5th gen) has a hardly any of my music on it while iTunes says it has all the songs on I put on it. WHAT EVIL IS THIS? Help me slay is horrible bug.

I just got this thing for my birthday after having two 160GB classics stolen in a row and I'm beyond stoked to have my music back. It worked great for a few days and after putting some music on one day, I ejected (safely) it and then unplugged it. NO MUSIC ON THE IPOD.I plug it back in frantically and see that ALL THE MUSIC I put on IS STILL ON THE DEVICE according to ITUNES. However when I open up that sweet music app I've got about 15 songs. My heart has been crushed and another apple product has done be dirty. I have faith in this 4 day old device still. Please help me before I smash it up and throw a piece at every apple store.
Additional info - I just downloaded the new iTunes (12.1) Maybe then new version is Satan in disguise. The new red logo is pretty convincing however, it was only after I used 12.1 that this happened. It would surprise me the latest and greatest version shorts me. Please help me get my music working again so I can stop complaining about Apple products for awhile.

Yep the problem is with the new iTunes update (12.1.0.50 for the Mac version, I don't recall the number of the Windows version) and the worst part is that I don't think there's a way to solve the problem except for waiting for the next update hoping it will correct this bug.
It happened to me too, and to many other users: every time I try to sync the device (I use a 4th gen iPod touch), all of the songs get deleted. I have to put sync them all again (and I have a HUGE number of songs, so it's extremely annoying).
I tried putting in DFU mode, safe starting, restoring both from backup and as a new iPod on many computers, but nothing of that solved the problem.
I spoke to an Apple technician but he knew nothing about it, he suggested me there was a problem with my computer (that's impossible, it's brand new, and the problem occurs on other computers too! What's the chance of having the same damage on two different machines - a Mac and a PC - at the same time?)
Finally, I noticed that if I sync my iPod on a computer with an older version of iTunes the problem doesn't happen.
All of this was nearly a month ago... still no updates :\

I can't put Podcasts onto my iPod Nano, even tho it says i can on the site!

I've tried manually updating the podcasts, automatically updating, dragging, stuff like that but it still appears tht i can't get podcasts on it!
Some help would be most appreciated!!
thanx

Hi thomas-paton,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the most recent iTunes update. If you are having issues dragging individual files to your iPod nano when connected in iTunes, you may want to make sure that the "Manually manage music and videos" option is selected, as outlined in the following article:
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support

Yes.. just sign-in same account in your Apple devices and make sure sync your contacts in icloud and you can see all contacts that you made backup..

I recently purchased an album but a few of the songs do not play even though it says they are there. How do I get these songs to play?

I bought an album on the iTunes store and 3 of the songs do not work on my iPod or in my iTunes library...How can I fix this problem?

You can retrieve your songs from the iPod using something like Senuti.
It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
When you've got a copy of those songs on your computer, then you can restore the iPod.

Can't see any of my recent calls. Who can help?

I agree. Visibility of my transactions are not to be found. It appears over the past few days the visible transactions have been harder to find and now are completely gone. How about an update Paypal!
