Can't see songs on ipod

Every since I installed the new version of itunes when I set-up my iphone, I noticed that I can no longer see the songs that are on my ipod when it's connected to itunes. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so, how do you fix it? I want to delete some things off of my ipod because I'm running out of space, but I can't do it. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

Is there a little triangle next to the name of your iPhone? If so, try clicking on that.

How can I see songs on ipod while using iTunes 7.0.12.6

You used to be able to click on your ipod and manage all your songs on your ipod in the old itunes. Now when I click on the ipode I can't see anything on it. When I click on the music tab all I see are options to sync. Everything is "grayed" out when it comes to playlists, can't select them. And on the summary sheet I cannot select Enable disk use.

If you want to manage the tracks on your iPod directly, you need to set your iPod options in iTunes to manually manage the iPod. See "Loading songs onto iPod manually" in your iTunes Help for more information.
Regards.

Change the language of your iPod. If you don't know how to, try:

> Reset your iPod Nano. (best option)

Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

Can't delete song from ipod touch that is not in my library

Monty's solution will work if you have left the songs in one of your playlists. Another idea if that doesn't work is to check your iTunes list for that iPod. Check at the very bottom beneath the albums, artist,s and other content to add to your iPod, and be sure that you don't have individual songs selected to be added as well. If you do, eliminate them from that bottom list, and you should be fine.

How can i see songs to sync to iphone from computer?

how can i see songs to sync to iphone from computer?

you can't sync songs from your phone to your computer, syncing is a computer to phone process. if you purchased songs on your phone from itunes and want them to go to your computer so you can listen to them there, you right-click on the name of your phone in itunes and choose 'transfer purchases.' these are the only songs that will go in that direction

Since software update, can't see contents of iPod when connected to iTunes

About 2 days ago, when I connected my iPod to my pc (iTunes), it said there were some software updates for my iPod so I downloaded them and the iPod rebooted itself. Once it came back up, my iPod showed up in iTunes under "devices" on the left hand sidebar. I got the registration page - I usually click register later, but nothing happened this time. It didn't bring me into my iPod. So I tried to Register. I could get so far, then it asked if I wanted some free movie or something, I said NO THANKS, CONTINUE, but nothing happened. I wasn't registered AND I couldn't access my iPod. I can see my iPod under My Computer. I can see "sandra's iPod" uder devices in iTunes. BUT, I can't get to the content when connected to iTunes. All of my stuff is there on the iPod. I can play my iPod when it's not connected to iTunes - but I can't see the content, manipulate playlists, delete songs, etc. when connected to iTunes. I am almost positive this is a result of the latest software updates to the iPod. I have not updated iTunes - I didn't want to and compound the problem. I'm not a techy person - so please be gentle! Thank you. Sandra

Resolved at home.

How can I see song lyrics in iOS 8?

In the past I've been able to add lyrics to my music in iTunes and then see those lyrics in the music app after syncing my iPhone or iPod... There is an option in my setting to view lyrics which I have turned on and yet I can't see the lyrics I've added in the music app, how do I make it so I can see those lyrics?

Please ignore my above post regarding Open IME.....!!! I had a WAV version of a song and a MP3 version of the song. It allowed me to add lyric ONLY when it was the MP3 version. When i was changing the IME it must have coincided with me changing format of song....hence why I thought it was IME!
Advice to other users.....CHECK WHICH FILE YOU ARE DRAGGING INTO ITUNES....AND DON'T DO IT WHEN TIRED!! I have multiple versions of the songs and I didn't bother checking which was which. I now realise I could have saved myself a good few hours instead of messing about..lol!
The other thing I did learn is that once you add lyric and click 'ok'...then you cannot alter it. I had to delete song from playlist...re-add...then add lyrics again. Not too sure why.... maybe a glitch...or maybe I'm just too tired.
Anyway...I think the problem lies with the format of song you import into i-tunes as mentioned in a post above.
Sorry I couldn't be of no assistance....am tired and i want to go to bed...lol

Can't play songs on iPod 80Gb Classic.

Newbie to iPod. Former PC/Windows 2nd level support officer. Have brand new iPod bought duty free. Tried to load iTunes, but couldn't. Error message "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured." It goes on to tell me to try later on. Searched on the error message in Google and visited several forums. As suggested, uninstalled Quicktime and purged registry of anything Apple with the exception of directly iPod related stuff. Puerged PC of ALL unnecessary files. Tried to install again with same result. One forum suggested Winamp as an alternative. Purchased and installed Winamp Pro. Getting to know the program, managed to rip and play a few tunes, but playlists weren't working. Purged iPod of all music (not control files!) and have successfulley ripped and synched about 600 songs onto the iPod in MP4/LC-AAC Encoder v1.28 format. Cannot play these songs on the iPod. It shows them as "now playing", but there's no movement on the progress bar or on the time countback. If I hit the play button and hold the iPod to my ear, I can hear the drive spin up, then stop. Can play files on the iPod on my PC. Hard drive must be OK, as I can synch to it.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

I was having similar issue. Songs would play to a specific point, then immediately skip to next song at same point in song everytime. All the songs I was having this issue with were MPEG Layer 1. I highlighted the songs in my library, converted them to AAC, deleted the MPEG-1 songs off I-Pod Classic, then re-loaded the converted AAC files to IPOD. That solved the problem. I don't notice any difference in sound quality either. I was worried they would be "re-compressed" by doing this, but can't tell any difference if they were. I have not loaded the new firmware, as I've been reading about all kinds of problems with it. The Classic manual on the Apple Support site shows this:
iPod classic doesn’t support WMA, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 audio files, or
audible.com format 1.
If you have a song in iTunes that isn’t supported by iPod classic, you can convert it to a
format iPod classic supports. For more information, see iTunes Help.

Can't find songs in iPod, Works in iTunes, Synchs ok, but still 0 songs

I am new to my iPod Nano 4thGen 8GB and just downloaded the new iTunes 8 (latest version). I'm running SP2 on Windows and iTunes installed perfectly. It even added all my music directly to the iTunes library. iTunes found my iPod, assigned a name, and then automatically started to sync Library with my Nano.
All the song files seem to be ok as they all play in iTunes perfectly fine. I can even see that the music was synchd because now my 8GB Nano only has ~4GB remaining and when I open my iPod through windows I can see the music files inside a /music folder. BUT... when I eject my iPod and try to find the music in the music folder it says 0 songs!!!
I did the 5Rs and even reinstalled iTunes and restored my Nano, but no luck. Please help me understand why I can synch my Nano in iTunes, see the memory is being used, but continue to see 0 SONGS in my iPod?!?!

There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song is marked as part of a compilation or 2) the song has no album name associated with it.
If the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.
Also if tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod

How can I see song lyrics in iOS 5.0?

Before updating my iPad 2, I could see lyrics for the song playing just by touch the screen in "iPod" app (the screen in which the album cover appears). But now I can't see the lyrics at all, and I'm sure they're attached to the songs (I can see them in my iPod nano 5th; I sync the same songs between iPad and iPod). How can I do it now? Is there some way of seeing the lyrics, or the functionality was removed at all?
And, of course, is there anyone else having this same problem?
Thank you all =D

This may be a bug for all that I know but I am too cynical to believe that.
From everything that I have read, it appears as though Apple did remove the feature. What the reasons could be for that are beyond me. And I did find the paragraph that states that feature exists in the iPad. I copied this from the iPad User Guide for iOS 5. The free book that I downloaded in iBooks.
"Display a song’s lyrics
Display the album cover by tapping the thumbnail at the top of the screen. Lyrics appear if you’ve added them to the song using the song’s Info window in iTunes."
However, who knows with Apple anymore. Case in point - Apple changed the wording on their website about multitouch gestures being one of the new features of iOS 5, a day or two after the update came out. They decided to release the feature to work on the iPad 2 only - even though the website promoted the feature as being one of the new features for the "iPad" for months leading up to the release - leading all users to believe that it would work on the iPad 1 as well. I don't know if you read any of those threads but the screaming is finally starting to die down on that one.
My point is that even thought the guide says that the song lyrics works, I have not read of anyone that can confirm that it does. Maybe someone else will confirm that the feature is in the iOS, but I don't believe that it is. So for the time being - for me anyway - it is not a bug - but another "why did they do that" decision by Apple.

Can't play song in ipod with itunes. Error occured (-6999)

Hello, I recently installed itunes on my new computer with windows 7 and I am unable to play the songs in my ipod through my itunes. At first when I plug in my ipod it begins to sync.

It then gives me an error messange, "the ipod cannot be synced. an unknown error occured (-6999)".

one month later Im still having this problem. I have a dell xps 1645 with the new i7 processor. it runs windows 7 on 64 bits

Can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud, can i delete songs from ipod touch once i upload them to icloud

once you upload songs,photos or documents fron ipod touch to icloud, can you delete them from ipod touch to free up memory from ipod touch and can you access them from icloud without downloading to ipod?

You can't upload music to iCloud unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber, and if you are the songs are uploaded or matched from the iTunes library on your computer, not your device. Photos are only uploaded to Photo Stream temporarily (30 days), for up to 1000 photos so it's not meant to be a permanent storage option. The uploaded photos are also generally of lower quality than the originals on your device. Also, only photos taken on your device after turning on Photo Stream are uploaded. Finally, when you turn Photo Stream on, uploaded photos will be streamed back to your device in a Photo Stream album (so it actually uses some of your memory rather than saving it). As for documents, only iWork documents are uploaded.
If you really want to free up storage on your device consider more permanent cloud storage services such as DropBox (which will handle photos and all documents).
