HeIp Ipod Shuffle "Playlist" no longer appear in itunes when disconnected.

I got a new laptop and was forced to load up the latest version of itunes, which for me has worked fine. I connected my first gen. shuffle and married it to my new computer. But on my old computer/version of itunes i was able to keep the "shuffle's playlist" on itunes at all times so it was easy to tweak my songs and then whenever i charged my ipod all the songs would update. now it seems i cannot keep the playlist contents of my shuffle on itunes and have to update the shuffle manually while its connected which takes much more time. Where is the setting to change this so i can see the shuffle playlist all the time?
shuffle 1st gen   Windows XP  

It appears from many other posts that the " Keep This iPod in the Source List" function isn't included in iTunes 7 unfortunately. You can leave your feedback on it's absence at this link: Apple Product Feedback
You can check out a workaround at this link which may help out for now: Create ready-to-sync playlists for Shuffles in iTunes 7

  • Deleting songs on ipod that playlist no longer exist in itunes

    I share the itunes with my son and we use to use the auto sync function. I figured out how to manually sync but deleted my original play list some how in between. Now I have playlist on my ipod that is not in itunes. I can drop song into my play list but I cannot figure out how to delete the song no longer wanted on my ipod since I no longer have playlist in itunes....please help.

    If you are updating manually, connect your iPod and when it shows in the iTunes 7 source list click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view. Find the files on your iPod that you want to remove, highlight them and either press the delete key on your keyboard or or right click and choose Delete.

  • Since an ios upgrade on my ipod, my device no longer appears in itunes or my computer

    Since a recent ios upgrade, I can not locate my Ipod touch 5th generation in iTunes nor in My Computer. I am working with Windows 7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, quicktime and Apple Mobile Device Support software programs. I have also gone through the on line Apple Trouble shooting support for this problem with no success.
    I did have WiFi syncing turned on before the upgrade and now when I go into settings on my iPod, the sync now option is greyed out.
    Any other ideas please...

    OK, never mind. After all that, a restart of the iPhone fixed it. That should have been the first thing I tried, of course, before posting. Sorry about that!

  • Hi, my iPod (5th gen) has stopped appearing in iTunes...

    Hi, my iPod (5th gen) has stopped appearing in iTunes when I plug it in, but is still visible on the desktop. Please help!

    Are you running the latest version of iTunes (10.7)?  Maybe try resetting the iPod with it still plugged into your Mac. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    It might even help to do a low level reformat of the iPod's Hard Drive using Disk Utility.  See this article for instructions.

    My Ipod touch 4g doesn't appear on itunes when plugged in my computer. It doesn't charge on my computer and I can't use itunes with my computer and my ipod. What would be solutions for this problem?

    See:

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.

  • When I upgraded to IOS5, my playlists no longer appear on the iPOD.  When I do a Sync, the playlists appear, but will not sync to the iPOD.  Any suggestions on how to resolve??

    I would understand it if you checked email on your Mac, and then those messages were not available on your iOS devices if you had the advanced account setting "remove copy from server after retrieving message:" set to immediately. 
    I looked through my iPhone settings and don't even see an option to tell my phone to pull the only copy of a message and delete it from the server.
    Possibly there is another setting in Lion (I am running Snow Leopard still) that tells your Mac to only synchronize mail to your iOs devices and is not pulling mail directly from iCloud. 
    You could try disabling your current iCloud email account in Mac Mail, and adding a new one and just telling Mail it is a standard IMAP account (imap.mail.me.com incoming and smtp.mail.me.com outgoing).
    I did that for Leopard to get my email even to work after MobileMe is cancelled and it seems to work fine with my iPhone.
    If that doesn't work, you can delete that new email account and re-enable the temporarily disabled iCloud email account from above.
    Hope this helps.

  • Question:  ipod no longer appears in itunes and my computer.

    iPod Nano no longer appears in iTunes or in my computer. Songs are there but the device is not recognized

    Okay. I was going to say....
    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

    Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
    Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • IPOD no longer appears in Itunes

    My Ipod is no longer appearing in Itunes. Everything was working fine last week, then all of sudden, I am no longer able to see my Ipod in Itunes.
    The Ipod is running the latest firmware. It was updated with the latest Updater. Itunes is the latest version.
    Unplugging, replugging does not work.
    The Ipod battery is 100 % charged.
    The ipod does not even appear in My Computer.
    The Ipod works fine with existing songs that are downloaded on it.
    The Ipod was working fine last week on the same computer. For the longest time, it was not working. Last week it worked. This week it no longer works. What is going on here?
    Why would the ipod all of a sudden stop working with Itunes on my computer?
    Cheers,

    A USB flash drive was added to my computer.
    okay, let's check on this possibility then (there's also a link to it in one of the articles that Mr Bond referenced):
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
    what i'm thinking here is that it is possible that you've usually got a drive letter confusion. (so your PC doesn't recognise the ipod). but when that drive was added, it changed around the drive letter assignments. so you stopped having the drive letter confusion with the ipod (and you could recognise it again). when it was taken back off the system, the drive letter assignments changed again. so you went back to having the drive letter confusion problem with the ipod.

  • Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes. Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod. Only podcasts are affected.

    I have not seen this precise issue addressed anywhere. I don’t know if it’s an iTunes or an iPod problem:
    - Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes;
      this, after normal behavior for more than a year since purchase of the iPod.
    - Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod.
    - Only podcasts are affected.
    - This concerns an iPod nano 6th gen. and iTunes 11.0.2 (26) on System 10.6.8
    - The only change to iTunes, the Mac, or the iPod is that just before this condition began
      I’d begun syncing an iPhone via iTunes.
    I sync manually (“manually manage music and videos”). The first time this happened, I wanted to delete seventeen podcast episodes (all belonging to one podcast) existing on the iPod — but they didn’t show up in iTunes. I tried re-downloading them and re-syncing, to see if the new versions would somehow “re-link” to iTunes. They didn’t. Only one — new — episode appeared in iTunes.
    I ultimately reset the iPod and manually resynced all the podcasts I currently had on iTunes. That worked, though I had to painstakingly add in all the other content deleted by the reset.
    So: after that reset and manual sync, all podcasts and episodes on the iPod were visible to iTunes and I was able to delete the podcast and its — now 18 — episodes I’d wanted to get rid of to begin with. But the next time I connected the iPod, only 8 podcast episodes out of 21 episodes total existing on the iPod were visible to iTunes. These are different podcasts; I’d deleted the original “invisible” ones.
    By “visible,” I mean in the “Podcasts” list view under “[name]’s iPod” in the iTunes sidebar. If I select “[name]’s” iPod in the iTunes sidebar and the “Podcasts” tab, all podcasts and episodes are visible, though greyed out because I’m set to sync manually. It’s unclear to me if these are the podcasts on the iPod or those currently in iTunes, as they are currently the same. If I switch to syncing automatically, all content on the iPod will be lost again, so I’m not up to trying it at the moment.
    As I said,  this involves only podcasts. All other content on the iPod does appear in iTunes.

    I have the same problem- i see my movies in the ipod section in itunes and they even show as mpeg4 in the 'kind' section but they dont have that small TV icon next to them. if i play these in itunes, they play fine- but try playing them on the ipod and all you hear is the sound and no picture. All videos that i manually transfer work fine in the beginning- its when i hook up the ipod to the comp again and start itunes- they start showing up without the 'tv' icon!! i have to again transfer them from the itunes library to activate them as videos.
    Need Help!!!

  • MacBook is 10.10.2 upgrade, iPod no longer appears in iTunes.

    Hi, since upgrading my Macbook pro to latest software OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 my iPod classic is no longer recognised in iTunes. It shows as connected on iPod and can be found in disc utility and as an external source but nothing at all in iTunes. Have read lots of other posts and the apple help without success.

  • Ipod shuffle 1st generation not recognized by itunes

    Right after I updated to itunes 12, my first generation ipod shuffle will not longer be recognized by itunes. I run Windows 7 and it is recognized when I open up windows explorer, but I can't get to it in itunes. Any help?? Thanks!

    The 1st gen shuffle has REALLY excellent sound.  It is better than 2nd gen shuffle, and other iPods, for sound.  Because it has a separate docking connection (the USB plug), it is the only shuffle that can play music while it is charging.  Plus, I like being able to hold it in my hand and control it (not clipped).
    Because I liked it so much, a few years ago, I bought some broken ones being sold on eBay.  Using these instructions
    https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Shuffle_1st_Generation
    I took them apart and tried to assemble working ones by swapping parts.  Fortunately, the 1st gen shuffle is small, but not tiny.  Unfortunately, the most common failure point (by far) was USB plug component (including a very delicate ribbon cable that connects to logic board).  I have plenty of "spare parts" now, except for that USB plug part.  So I am VERY careful when connecting and disconnecting my remaining working 1st gen shuffle, and try to do it as infrequently as possible.
