Files showing up on iTunes, but not in iPod

So a few days back, my iPod acted up and restored itself, sort of. Well, my iPod synced itself and added the music files from my library. So now when I look at my iPod files through my iTunes, the files show up grey and i can't play them yet they're still showing up. when i go into my ipod to find them, they aren't in there at all. anybody know what's going on?

Typo correction on my topic post: I realized the only music I could see in my library was what was updated off of my new laptop.

TV shows appear in iTunes but not in iPod

I have a 5G iPod video running on a HP with Windows XP. I have purchased several TV shows form iTunes and they show up in my iTunes library but not all of the episodes transfer to my iPod. My iPod is set to automatically sync with my library, but some of the the TV episodes still do not transfer. They are all checked and should transfer automatically. Also, if I select the missing shows and drag and drop them from the library into my iPod, they transfer. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks for any help you can give me!

You may have set your iPod to sync only unwatched episodes.
Connect your iPod, then when the summary screen appears click on the TV shows tab.
Change the preference to what suits you best.

Application shows up on iTune but not on ipod touch

I downloaded Pandora from Apps Store and it shows up in my Apps. After I dragged it to my device and hit the Apply button I can still see it on the iTune. However it is not really loaded into my iPod because I can not see Pandora on my ipod touch. I tried delete the application and reinstall, but it still does not work.
I have a 4th generation ipod touch. The ipod software is up to date (v4.3.5). My iTune is 10.3.1.55.
Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you, waterfish and IIIaass for those useful tips. However updating iTunes and iOS does not solve the issue. I still can not find Pandroa with Spotlight search. Installing directly from iPod does not work either. The App store on iPod doesn't have the "Install" button. That indicates that the system thinks the application is installed, but user can not find it. Do I need to reset the iPod and reinstall everything (music, contacts, email, photos, apps...)?

Tv shows play in iTunes but not on iPod.

iPod and PowerBook software all up to date. Tv shows play fine in iTunes. When I try to play them on the iPod, the screen goes dark and a "play button" sysmbol appears (a triangle pointing to the right, in the upper left corner). Nothing happens and it quits trying after a few moment.
I emailed support and heard nothing back. These are my first iTunes store purchases and I'm not impressed. Bought a whole season of a show and all the episodes do this.
Grr.

iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.

If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place

Files show up in downloads but not in Finder

Files showing up in downloads but not in Finder I am running OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro. I am having a problem with Finder being able to display all the files in folders, if any. The files show up in downloads for instance but when I go to my downloads in Finder, the folders are empty.

The screenshot doesn't show the downloads…
It may also help to know what you are expecting to see in there - for example Application XXYY says I downloaded AABB, but I can't see AABB.
Certain apps have their own settings for where to store files - more info needed.

Album art work shows up in iTunes and not on iPOD? ***?

This is ******** - my album artwork shows up on iTunes but not on my iPOD - and just for some albums. Mainly the ones I added after "upgrading" to iTunes 7.
Someone tell me how to fix this issue - quite annoying...

Voice Memos show up in iTunes but not on iPhone 4

When I plug my iphone into my MBP, I can see all my Voice Memos in the list of things on my device in iTunes. And, I have a Voice Memos playlist in iTunes that appears to be complete.
However, in the Voice Memos app on my phone, I only have one memo, and the playlist doesn't show up at all in my Music app. Based on what I'm seeing in iTunes, the voice memos are there on my phone somewhere, but I can't find them, and I can't figure how to move the playlist from itunes back onto my phone.
I do use iMatch, and it looks like the Voice Memos playlist doesn't sync with iMatch. That may be part of the problem. But, I don't want to lose some of these memos - precious moments from the lives of my children. Help!

Hi Itarbox,
I've been experiencing about the same issue : I had a list of Voices Memos shown in iTunes that didn't appeared on my iPhone 4S. Here is what I did to solve the problem :
I strongly suggest you perform a backup before doing this, just in case.
1st : Get back those "lost" Voices Memos from the backup file
I've downloaded "iBackup Bot for iTunes", open the last backup, select the files I want to get back and "export" them to a local folder. Those are mp4 files that can easily be opened with iTunes or Media Player.
this is the tricky part, which took me about 4-5 hours of painful research, trial and error :
2nd : Get rid of the "erroneous" files that still appear within iTunes, but not on the iPhone
I've downloaded "iExplorer", opened it with my iPhone plugged in (it reads the iPhone database). Then, I right clicked on the folder iPhone > Media > Recordings and deleted the whole folder. The software warns that this move is irreversible, click ok. Now close iExplorer, unplug the iPhone and open iTunes. When iTunes is loaded, plug in the iPhone and sync. The erroneous files are now gone!
Hope this helps!

Problems with artwork displaying in iTunes but not on iPod screen

I have iTunes (7.6) and a 5th gen, 80GB, firmware 1.2.3 iPod.
Not infrequently, I find that a song's artwork is visible in iTunes, but not on the iPod itself. Sometimes the artwork is displayed simply as a black rectangle on the iPod.
The converse situation also sometimes happens - when album info is retrieved from the CDDB, sometimes album artwork is also retrieved - but this is not displayed in the iTunes software, only on the iPod.
And yes, the "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox is selected in iTunes.
Does anyone have any more info about this?
Are there any restrictions on image file formats? Maximum size? Type? Interlaced or not?
Last time I asked this question I got zero response
It is an irritating problem, cos there's no way to check what the artwork looks like on the iPod without disconnecting it from my PC :/

OK to drag this thread back on topic:
I think the "sync" thing is irrelevant anyways.
What I tried in the end was viewing my iPod in iTunes,
navigating through to the check box for "display album artwork",
UNcheck it, and click apply.
At this point, iTunes said, with NO confirmation "Are you sure?" dialog, "DELETING ARTWORK ON iPOD" !! :-O I was not pleased
However I then re-selected the "display album artwork" box and clicked Apply. The process took about 10 minutes to complete.
When I then disconnected the iPod, the black squares were gone, and the artwork was NOT deleted (phew!) and was displaying correctly. I was pleased
The amount of "other" megabytes on the display in iTunes for my iPod's contents had shrunk.
I dunno what all this actually did - are the artwork files embedded in the MP4 files on the iPod? Or are they stored seperately and linked to them?
I'm wondering if the "black square" thing is caused by an MP4 having an embedded image, and there also being a conflicting image file elsewhere on the hard drive? But this is just guessing.

ITunes purchased song plays in iTunes but not on iPod

I have purchased several songs from the music store. One of the songs will play in iTunes but not on my iPod. I've removed the song several times from the iPod and resynced with iTunes, but the song still cuts out in the middle of the song. What should I do?

If it's just a problem with that song, I would contact the customer service who may authorize another download.

Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

hi
like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
should i do it one by one ?
thanks.

it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

Music shows up in iTunes but not on the iPod

I'm not sure what to do next. One of the CDs I had on my iPod just disappeared the other night. I thought it might have been my deck in my car, so I unplugged it and then searched on the iPod itself for the CD, and it didn't show up there either. So I came home and I connected the iPod to my computer and in iTunes, I clicked on the iPod, and it said the CD was there. So I unplugged it and checked on my iPod again, and the CD still wasn't showing up. I reconnected it to the computer and checked it AGAIN in iTunes and it still said that the CD was on my iPod. I reset it with the center button and menu, and then I checked it again and on my iPod it wasn't there, but it still showed up in iTunes as being on my iPod. So I deleted them off of the iPod, reburnt the CD, put the files onto the iPod, and in iTunes it said the songs were on the iPod. So I checked it on the actual iPod, and they weren't there! I updated the software and everything and tried it again, but it still didn't fix the problem. It's just one CD I'm having trouble with, everything else works fine, and back when the CD showed up in my iPod it played fine. Any suggestions?

hmmmmm. we'd better quickly check to see if you're getting a Windows drive letter confusion. for troubleshooting advice on that one, see:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Voice Memos shows in computer iTunes but not on iphone

Now, I have iphone 5, OS 8.1 (Powerbook Pro OS 10.6.8).
Earlier OS, I used to be able to enjoyed and managed the Voice Memos from iPhone to the computer iTunes Playlists, then selected and dragged it to a new playlist. Once I synced the new playlist back to the iphone, I could play it back repeatedly under Music on the iphone. (if play under the Voice Memos on iphone as you know it won't repeat and stops all tasks).
Now, even though the new playlist with the voice memos shows in the computer iTunes, but once I sync it to the iphone the new playlist with the voice memos will no longer show on the iphone. (again, the reason I do so, because, if played under the Voice Memos it won't auto repeat and stops all tasks).
Suggestions Please.
Thank you!
Note: I tried to converted the Kind from ACC to MP3 or MPEG.
I tried to drop the Voice Memos item to the old PlayLists( songs), once it synced to the iphone the playlist will show with songs in it but not the voice memos item.

Haa..
Instead of converted the Kind from ACC to MP3, just changed the media kind from voice memo to music.
It works again now! It took me 6 months to get to this point.
Happy journey!

Ipod touch shows up in Itunes, but not in my computer using Windows Vista

Try:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
For Munas, in a PC, the iPod shows up in both iTunes and in My Computer. In a Mac it only shows in iTunes, not on desktop or Finder,.
