Changing computers, can't "see" my files on IPod menu, but I can in windows

I changed computers, and followed the directions, essentially: used my ipod as a disk to move files from old laptop to new laptop. Did all the steps of consolidating files etc. OK, no problem. Then I can see all the music on Itunes on new laptop. Restore and reset IPod and then synchronized. Files load to the IPod (I can see on the IPod when I view outside of ITunes (i.e. windows explore). But, when I try to play or view any files going through the IPod menus, there isn't anything there, nothing in music, podcasts, videos, nothing. If I plug the IPod into the old laptop, restore, and synch, everything is fine. I've tried this about 4 times and cannot get this to work. What am I doing wrong?

Copied media files to a HPFS+ (journaled) SimpleTech USB drive connected to my iMac. Files copied fine and can be accessed from the iMac with no problems.
I connect it to the TC, the drive can be seen and mounted over the network but the files do not show up. The free space corresponds to the free space left by the files I had copied--but again the files do not show up.
TC file sharing is on and is working fine as demonstrated by access to the internal drive without problem. And the USB drive shows up in the airport utility without error indication. Files copied over the network to the USB drive are accessible as expected (read/write/delete--no problem).
Any advice?
Thanks,
Mark

  • I know how to add lyrics to a song in iTunes and then see them on my iPod. But now I'm interested in watching those lyrics on my windows pc...can I and how do I do that ?

    I know how to add lyrics to a song in iTunes and then see them on my iPod. But now I'm interested in watching those lyrics on my windows pc...can I ? What do I do so than I can see the lyrics of the song while it plays ?

    This is the correct behavior. When you play a song, the play count and last played time gets updated. When you resync the iPod, the track gets copied to the iPod to update these new changed fields.
    There is no fix for this, this is what it is supposed to do.

    What I need to do?
    Thanks!

    I haven't researched it and I don't claim to know everything about iTunes, but it has always been my understanding that you can only use one computer per iPod, but you can have multiple iPods per computer. From what I understand, this is to prevent illegal sharing and whatnot.

  • On Win7 computer, how can I see all files on iPod touch?

    I have an iPod touch 4.3.5 (8L1), model MC540C. When it's plugged into my Windows 7 computer, I want to be able to see all the files (not just the photos). What must i do to see all the files?
    My ultimate purpose is to copy one file: the voice recording I created in the Voice Memos application. (The audio file is too big to be sent via email.)

    Illass,
    Thank you for your reply.

  • I backed up my phone because I was upgrading hardware but when I went to "restore from backup" it wasn't listed in iTunes. I can see the files in a folder but not in iTunes.  Is there any way of backing up my phone from the most recent backup?

    Please help

    The following says how to restore from backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore.

  • Im changing computers can i bring my songs

    Im getting a new computer and i want to transfer the songs i have brought from itunes to this computer can i do this?? if not then ive just wasted my money.

    of course you can.
    assuming all your media files are in the default location, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from the old to the exact same spot on the new machine.
    you can use an external HD or your network for that.

  • New firmware update doen't allow me to see all files in iPod library...

    I have a 5G/ 60GB iPod, updated to the new firmware, and I have found that now there is no way to see a "Library" style depiction of all the files on my iPod, ala the iTunes "Library" category. I have podcasts that I manage manually which do not display as "Podcasts", and the easiest way to add and delete them (sometimes I duplicate them by mistake when adding from my other computer at work)was from the "Library" style view when the iPod device name was selected. Now those podcasts do not appear in the "Music", "Movies", "TV Shows", or "Audiobooks" categories. I CAN view them by date in the "Recently Added" playlist, but duplicates cannot be deleted from this playlist. I there a "View all Files" sort of option I am unaware of, or any other solution (3rd Party) to access/ edit/ remove these files?

    The checking and unchecking of songs is done in iTunes, not on the shuffle.  And that may affect what is loaded in the shuffle during automatic syncing.  So first check what is actually loaded on the shuffle.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    In the sidebar, find your shuffle under DEVICES.  Click the small trianle to the left of the shuffle name to drop down its content list (indented below the shuffle).  Click on Music there.  The list of songs currently on the shuffle is shown to the right.  Are the songs that do not play on that list, or not on that list?

  • Transfer files from ipod touch to a PC with windows Vista

    How do I transfer files from my ipod touch to my brand laptop with windows vista?

    Hello and Welcome to  Discussions Forum.
    If you have purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store, then those are pretty easy to transfer to your computer. You'll just need to follow [this instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465].
    All your other songs (for example, those ripped from your CD's), you'll need to use any 3rd party program to transfer them to your iTunes library!
    Some can also transfer your playlists, videos, ratings, podcast...

  • I can scroll on iPod menu, but when I want to click on something

    (like playlist), nothing is happening.
    Also, does anyone know how to transfer all the songs in my iPod to my library? When you get a new iPod, how do you get all of your songs on the new one if they are not in your library?
    Thanks everyone!!

    Put them back into iTunes and from there to your new iPod.
    Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.

  • Time capsule settings changed now can't view files

    Hi,
    I changed my settings on my time capsule accidently and now I can't view my files. I click on the time Capsule in windows explorer and all I get is .com.apple.airport.sharepoint. I got this once before but can't remember how to fix it. I can see my TC files from my Ipad but not from my Windows 7 computer.
    Help!!

    The address is typed into the only place you can type addresses .. that is the address bar..
    If it cannot reach the TC hard disk then you need to do some more fundamental checks.
    1. Reset the TC to factory and start over.. Use all SMB names. As already stated.. all names must be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Do it from a Mac or iOS with airport app.
    2. Plug the windows computer into the TC by ethernet. Make sure the LED turns on .. connectivity on both the computer and the TC. Make sure the PC has an IP address from the TC by opening a command prompt and typing.. ipconfig
    It should come up 10.0.1.x (x being any number).
    3. To make sure you have bonjour simply load it again.. easiest is to download and install the windows version of Airport Utility.. http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1547
    If it refuses to install or say it is already loaded then you already have it.
    4. Make sure you set the file sharing page to Guest access on and workgroup to WORKGROUP.
    5. Now type the name or the IP again into the address bar of windows explorer.
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress.
    You do not type what I put.. you type the actual name or actual IP. Clearly \\TCIPaddress will not work.. unless you named the TC TCIPaddress which would be rather odd. For example if the TC is default.. 10.0.1.1 then you type \\10.0.1.1 .. just to be clear. 

  • How to see invisible files

    How do you see invisible files on the romote side of the site
    window? I've got some .htaccess files, which are supposedly
    invisible on the Mac system, though they're visible on my local
    site window. If I upload them, I can see them until I quit
    Dreamweaver, then I can't see them. These files control access to a
    site and if I can't see them I can['t delete them. So now I'm
    locked out of my site.

  • Cannot copy .mov & .mpeg files to iPod 80

    Hello
    I have just bought an iPod Video 80 gb.
    I have some .mov & .mpeg files on my iTunes library. But when I try to copy those files to my iPod, a message appears:
    "filename" was not copied to the ipod "My iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
    So I cannot copy those files to iPod. But I can copy .mp4 videos to iPod without any problem.
    Why is this happening? How can I copy .mov & .mpeg files to my iPod?
    I am using the latest iTunes, 7.0.2.16. Also my iPod has the latest software, 1.2.1.
    Thanks
