HELP! My ipod shows up in itunes but none of the songs show up.

I need HELP. I just restored my ipod mini and manually put my songs from home onto my ipod. Everything worked great. I took my ipod to my work to download a few podcast and when I connect it to the computer, Itunes opens and recognizes my ipod. BUT there are no songs listed under Device/Ipod/Music etc. I can drag and drop a podcast to the music file and it acts as tho it transfers fine and shows up in the music file. When I disconnect and try to find it on my ipod it is not there. Why don't my songs (384 songs on my ipod)show up under Device/Ipod/Music ???? I have spent half the day trying to check the support and no one seems to have this problem. I am not able to update the playlist or anything. It recongizes my ipod but not anything on it. I am baffled. Please Help! Thanks

I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 and I can't find my audiobooks that I downloaded from a library website. The audiobook tab is visible in iTunes but none of the audiobooks are there. They are on my iPod nano. Please help!

When you say they are displaying in your iTunes library, are you talking about the Audiobooks section of your iTunes library and not the audiobooks section indented under the iPod in the left pane of iTunes under Devices?
Is the iPod Shuffle configured to sync audiobooks or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

HT1325 I purchases a cd on iTunes and one of the songs shows that it is downloaded but it will not play.

I purchases a cd on iTunes and one of the songs shows that it is downloaded but it will not play. The rest of the songs play but this one song doesn't and it looks like it is downloaded completely. What do I do?

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

Hello audreywisc,
Songs can be removed from your iPhone by tapping 'Songs,' then swiping the song, then tapping Delete.
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

How to explain. OK 1st all photos are visible in my iPhoto library; however, some are stored on hard drive and some are stored on external. All can be viewed in itunes, but none on the external will sync to my iPad. What's up with that.

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. iTunes the software is a free download. Do you mean you bought a subscription to iTunes Match? If so, what do you mean that your music did not transfer to your second computer. Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible so we can better help you.

I bought Welcome to New York and it shows up like that, but it plays the song Out of the Woods. What do I do?

Hi calmbl,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you purchased Welcome to New York from the iTunes Store, but ended up with a different song.
I recommend reporting the issue with your purchase using the steps in this link:

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

i recently downloaded an album from itunes and from what it appeared, everything completely downloaded, but 5 of the songs won't completely play through when i want to listen to them. i don't know if the song files are damaged or what. what actions should i take to either repair the files or get my money back from itunes?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

I downloaded an album from Itunes but one of the songs will only play first 4 minutes. It is the last song on the album. All other songs will play.

I downloaded an album from i Tunes but one of the songs will only play first 4 minutes of 26 minutes and then stop. It is the last song on the album. All other songs will play. The Album is U.F.O. 2 One Hour of Space Rock.

Jim, wanted to let you know it worked. I deleted the entire album since it was an album only (26 minutes long) song, then I went to the home icon of iTunes store, clicked on purchased and saw previous purchases and bam, I downloaded the album again and it now works!!! Thanks..

My new external hard drive appears in Finder, but none of the files show up in recent documents (today/yesterday/past week)

My new external hard drive appears in Finder, but none of the files stored on it show up in recent documents (today/yesterday/past week).

what format is the external drive? How is it connected?
The drive must be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - if it is try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database
Note that multiple libraries is not necessary and is generally a bad idea.

I have 3G I Phone and just got new pc. Have run sync in I tunes but none of the songs, etc are being transferred from the Phone to the new computer. How does one accomplish this?

I have a 3G I Phone and Just got a new PC. Have run a sync in I tunes but none of he songs, etc. in the I phone have transferred over. How does one accomplish this taks?

Only iTunes purchases may copy over via File > Transfer Purchases - otherwise syncing is one way, from the computer to the device. To get the rest of your music/films etc onto the new computer you can copy the backup from your old computer onto the new one and then load them into iTunes

Podcasts showing up in iTunes, but not in the podcasts on ipod! HELP!

I backed up my iTunes library onto CDs before getting a new computer. When I bought the new computer, I put all of the CDs onto it, and then began to use my ipod on the new computer. Ever since then, podcasts will download into the correct category in iTunes, but when I sync my iPod and then diconnect it, the podcasts category on my ipod is empty. I can find some of the podcasts by looking through the artists, but it's hit and miss. What can I do to make the podcasts download into the right category on my ipod? I'm totally frustrated.

With your iPod connected, select it in the left-hand side of iTunes and then click the Podcasts tab. Make sure it is set to sync the appropriate podcast episodes.

I've had this problem and you have to hook up the images to the songs before you sync it to your ipod. Think its some Itunes 7 issue
