Can't see my ipod playlists in iTunes

I created a folder in itunes in order to organize my playlists. As soon as I did that the playlists on my ipod nano disappeared from itunes. I deleted the folder I created (in itunes, that is), together with its playlists and the problem still persists. I just added a new playlist to the ipod and i can't see that either in itunes. When the ipod is disconnected from ipod, I can see the playlists on the ipod but i can't see them in itunes, period. When I add songs to the ipod they just go to the songlist, not to any specific playlist because I can't see any anyways. Help.

The problem is not about updating. When you connect your ipod to itunes, you are supposed to see the playlists that are on your ipod on the computer. In my case, I do not see the playlists that should be on the ipod. When you add a playlist to the ipod you are supposed to see those playlists in itunes. While I do see them on the ipod when I disconnect it from itunes, I do not see them when the ipod is connected to itunes. It is making the process of organizing my music impossible. So the problem is not with automatic or manual updating. The problem is with seeing the playlists in itunes.

How come I can't see my Ipod Touch on Itunes?

When I had the 9.2 version (the one before 10), just recently before I changed it to 10, my Ipod Icon wouldn't show up on Itunes so I couldnt sync my ipod or do anything, even though it was plugged and was charging. So, then I was like okay, maybe that's my cue to download the newest version of Itunes. Well once I did that, I could sync and see my ipod again on Itunes for a few days, but just now, I plugged in my Ipod and it's doing the same thing again! It's charging, but I can't see my ipod and its options. So I'm not sure if it's my Ipods problem or maybe it's not compatible to the version? I have the 2Gen Ipod touch. Anyone know?

(b) reboot into _*safe mode*_
(c) launch *disk utility* (in applications/utilities), +verify disk+ and +repair permissions+
(d) run the combo
(e) after running the combo, let the Mac reboot normally and +repair permissions+ again.
(f) run +software update+ from the  menu and install any updates offered.

See:

I would start with

or

I can't see my ipod nano in itunes

I am setting up my new nano and can't see it as an option under devices in ITunes

To see the songs on the iPod when it's connected to the computer, is this what you are doing?
Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Click the little triangle next to the iPod, so that it points down, and you should see a "drop down" list of iTunes media types, indented under the iPod. On of them should be Music, and your playlists (that are on the iPod) should also appear on this list. Select Music, and over to the right are all the songs that are currently on the iPod.
You should be able to see these songs when using the iPod (as an iPod). So, the second question is, how are you playing (looking for) the songs on the iPod? By playlist? By artist? By album? By genre? Some other way...?

CAN'T SEE MY IPODS CONTENT IN ITUNES

When I go into Itunes it show my Ipod but doesn't list whats on my Ipod. Have spent so much time on this. I was clicking and dragging songs into my Ipod but now that it's full I can't delete or add any more music because I can't see the content.

I had some funky problems with viewing my new Nano on a Vista computer. First it detected it, but didn't display it. Then it displayed it but wouldn't let me put music on it.
Although I didn't get a BSOD on my Laptop after reading the issue was related to the software that detects a plugged in Ipod I followed the instructions below. Works fine now
Followed the instructions on this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2280?locale=en_GB and it worked.

I can't sync my iPod playlists to iTunes?

I have a playlist on my iPod with about 400 songs in it and every time I sync with iTunes I lose it. I really don't like re-making the playlist and I want to sync more songs to my iPod.
I've heard that with iTunes you should be able to pull down playlists under the device tab, and I've done that but it doesn't even show the current playlists on my iPod. It doesn't show playlists I made after my last sync, and it shows playlists that don't even exist on my iPod anymore.
Is there another way I can get the playlist on iTunes?

Can't see my ipod in itunes and my computer

I can't see my ipod in itunes and my computer. There is an error code 10
please help

My problem is almost the same, I went to plug my 60g iPod into my PC USB port, and it locked up my computer and iPod. Now my iPod is stuck on the Do not disconnect screen and hasn't even changed the time at the top, still stuck at 10:05AM. I'm getting kind of upset here. I haven't even had the thing for over a year yet and I keep it in good shape.
Any ideas on how to fix would be helpful.
Thank

I did the update today and now itunes can't see my ipod, uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things, nothing has worked

I did the update today and now itunes can't see my ipod, uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things, nothing has worked.
It worked just fine last weekend. I have windows 8.1 and a brand new pc, new iPod also, the new Nano. now after the update today, iTunes says iPod has been detected but could not be indentified properly. I can see it in windows. I tried the reset on the iPod also. what else can I do?? HELP

uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things
Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes for my ipod how can I find this or how can I put my music from my ipod onto itunes

Hi I have recently had my computer reset and now can't find my original playlist on itunes, how can I transfer it from my ipod into itunes, or how can I find the original one?

Expanding on what The Fiend said, the license to play music from a CD is tied to and stays with the CD. So if you sell or give away the CDs, the license to play the music goes with them, at which point you legally no longer have the right to the tracks. You need to keep the CDs if you want to keep the music.
As for transferring the tracks from your iPhone back to your computer so you don't have to re-import all your CDs, check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod/iPhone media recovery options:
