Cannot see music playlists when trying to update ipod

hello, i've had lots of problems with itunes 7, stuttering music, lock ups etc.- wish i hadn't upgraded!
latest issue is when eventually i updated ipod to 1.2 software and tried to update it i can see playlists for movies and podcasts but not for music.
any ideas how to solve please.
i thinks its bad that apple haven't posted at least a note saying they'll look into these issues

hello again,
i know i can use the black arrow to view playlists on my ipod, but there arn't any - i did a restore on this ipod and so it hasn't got any playlists on it now, and i want to get them back on, i only did the restore because i was having the same problem when i upgraded to 1.2 as i'm having now and i hoped restore might solve it but it didn't!
to get playlists back on the ipod i was hoping to open up the music tab on the large ipod menu and select various playlists from the list inside the rectangle as i used to on itunes 6 and the ones before, but the playlists don't show up for me to select to copy to my ipod, the playlists are still in itunes and i can play them on the computer albeit with bad sound quality since upgrade.
i can see playlists under the movies and podcast tabs and i can copy these to ipod but no music playlists.
as i've said i can copy playlist the long way by dragging the playlist from the grey list on the side of the screen and dropping them on the ipod under devices but this will take days
thanks

Error message when trying to update ipod software

I have OS 10.3.9 but am getting the following message...,
You cannot install this software on this volume. This update requires OS 10.2.8 or higher. Please advise. Thanks.

If you're trying to install the updater onto your iPod directly, you can't. Instead, install the iPod updater onto your hard disk, and then open the /Applications/Utilities/iPod Software Updater folder. There should be one or more copies of the iPod updater inside this folder; double-click the most recent copy. Once the iPod updater has opened with the iPod plugged in, click the Update button and then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update. If you get a message telling you the updater couldn't find a firmware image, choose the Update iPod command from the Options menu to continue with the update.

Error message when trying to update ipod.

Sorry but this has never happened to me before. I had accidently deleted everything off of my ipod when doing a re-format of my HD. I re-formated the ipod thinking it was a ill-created partition of my HD.
Now when I go to put in the new software update it says it cannot mount ipod. This is the message I got after using the "restore" button for ipod updater. as it would not just allow me to update. What is happening and do I need to find firmware for the ipod?

Okay.
See if you can do any of the steps listed here or in the related documents...
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point
I doubt that you will be able to without getting the Can't Mount iPod message, but it's worth a try!
If it still won't work, your iPod may need service...

Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.
A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

IPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one but not all apps. I have more storage than the app takes. Can u help?

iPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one of the apps, but not other apps. I have more space available than needed for the app. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Do I need to completely reset this device as new and, if so, how should I do that?

You need to delete some item (apps, music, photos etc) from the iPod,.However, sometime files get corrupt. To determine that connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is used by the "other" category. If over 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted files.
To get the "other" down to normal value you need to restore your iPod usually restoring from backup works but sometimes restoring to factory settings.new iPod is required./

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

My iPad works perfectly except when trying to update apps. Then I get a message that says "Cannot connect to the iTunes store."

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and change the date to a few months in the future and then re-trying

When trying to update Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps? Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Finally got through to tech support and found someone who seemed to know what was going on, he walked me through and using appleid.applesupport got me to a point where i could get a new password for the apple id that kept showing up.
I think you were on the right trail and I want to say thanks for your help. Much appreciated

When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

Hi all,
Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings. I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name. This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues. Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve: incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors. If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out". When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine. I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices... But use your own judgment. I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system. When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button. When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address. I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem). Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily. This has happened to me on numerous occasions. Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day. Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
Hope that helps some of you!

Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....

HT201210 keep getting error message when trying to update iOS to 5.1.1

I have had no trouble updating the several iPads under my charge at work, however can't update my own. Am using iOS 5.1 currently on original iPad. I go to settings and it looks for any updates available and I click install to 5.1.1 but keep getting error message saying there was an error when trying to update. I am on my home wifi on my iPad. Have done same procedure with about 5 other iPads with no trouble. What can I do?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
