Homesharing, iPOD can't see my PC

Can someone help me, I have set up my laptop and iPOD with homesharing but my iPOD is not seeing my laptop.  Secondly I cannot find the library section on my iPOD, when I press the more button I have various folders i.e. podcast, itunes, compilations etc.  but cannot find the library folder? can someone help?  The wifi works on my iPOD as I stream radio station everyday and update my ipod automatically but for whatever reason it doesn't talk to my laptop (cannot sync via wifi either eventhough I have enabled it).
The only thing I could think of is the set up on my laptop which is used for work via VPN could it be the firewall?
Thanks

Hi,
If you haven't already download the latest version of iTunes(currently 8.1.1) from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Also make sure the iPod is not being disconnected while iTunes is syncing music to it. Make sure its directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC and not plugged into a hub, monitor, or keyboard.

  • Mini ipod - Can't see the screen

    I can hear the music but can't see anything on my Mini ipod screen. Tried troubleshooting, screen light appears but can't see the apple logo.

  • ITunes & iPods can't see iCloud contacts

    I have 3 iPods that do not support iCloud (a Classic, an old Nano, and an old Touch).  After activating iCloud on my iTunes computer, I noticed that, for each iPod, when I plugged it into iTunes, contacts and calendar syncing were both turned off.  After turning it back on, calendars worked fine -- it started to sync with the iCloud calendars.  But contacts won't work: when I turn on contact sync, the iPod's list of contacts becomes empty.
    It looks like iTunes can't see the iCloud contacts, and only looks for "On My Mac" contacts.  For example, under "Selected Groups," no groups appear, even though Address Book displays a handful of contact groups in iCloud.
    Anybody else notice this?  What do I do now?

    This is a fixable problem-if you don't mind turning off Contacts in iCloud.  I turned off just the Contacts in iCloud and when I synced my 2G iPod the contact list, groups included, could then be synced.  It was a solution that allowed my contacts to be placed on my iPod, but I assume that my outdated iPod will not allow iCloud contact syncing.

  • Can't see wifi network

    Today I got a wimax modem with built in wifi (greenpacket DX230). There is no customization of the device at all. The SSID and password are already printed on the device and are supposed to work without setup. However, I cannot see the network from my macbook running snow leopard, even if I am right beside the device. I have checked several PCs and they can all see the network, and my iPods can also see the network. I have yet to try another mac (will try tomorrow).
    Does anyone know why this would be? I thought wifi was a standard and that there is no deviation from it? Why would my ipods be able to see the network but not the macbook? Kismac doesn't even show the network

    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up?

    On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up? The tracks are from voice recordings that were downloaded from an extrernal drive and weren't necessarily tagged as spoken audio. Do I need to go back into itunes and relabel these tracks so they will show up on my ipad2?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

  • Since software update, can't see contents of iPod when connected to iTunes

    About 2 days ago, when I connected my iPod to my pc (iTunes), it said there were some software updates for my iPod so I downloaded them and the iPod rebooted itself. Once it came back up, my iPod showed up in iTunes under "devices" on the left hand sidebar. I got the registration page - I usually click register later, but nothing happened this time. It didn't bring me into my iPod. So I tried to Register. I could get so far, then it asked if I wanted some free movie or something, I said NO THANKS, CONTINUE, but nothing happened. I wasn't registered AND I couldn't access my iPod. I can see my iPod under My Computer. I can see "sandra's iPod" uder devices in iTunes. BUT, I can't get to the content when connected to iTunes. All of my stuff is there on the iPod. I can play my iPod when it's not connected to iTunes - but I can't see the content, manipulate playlists, delete songs, etc. when connected to iTunes. I am almost positive this is a result of the latest software updates to the iPod. I have not updated iTunes - I didn't want to and compound the problem. I'm not a techy person - so please be gentle! Thank you. Sandra

    Resolved at home.

  • How come I can't see my Ipod Touch on Itunes?

    When I had the 9.2 version (the one before 10), just recently before I changed it to 10, my Ipod Icon wouldn't show up on Itunes so I couldnt sync my ipod or do anything, even though it was plugged and was charging. So, then I was like okay, maybe that's my cue to download the newest version of Itunes. Well once I did that, I could sync and see my ipod again on Itunes for a few days, but just now, I plugged in my Ipod and it's doing the same thing again! It's charging, but I can't see my ipod and its options. So I'm not sure if it's my Ipods problem or maybe it's not compatible to the version? I have the 2Gen Ipod touch. Anyone know?

    i too have a 2nd gen Touch and it works fine with iTunes 10.
    try this:
    (a) download the [_*Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update (Combo)*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1048]
    (b) reboot into _*safe mode*_
    (c) launch *disk utility* (in applications/utilities), +verify disk+ and +repair permissions+
    (d) run the combo
    (e) after running the combo, let the Mac reboot normally and +repair permissions+ again.
    (f) run +software update+ from the  menu and install any updates offered.
    connect your Touch now. what happens ?

    Turning off Home Sharing would seem the most logical step.

  • Can't see the list of songs on my iPOD 2nd generation

    i have installed the ipod, and i am able to transfer my songs into my ipod 2nd generation, however i am not able to see the list of songs that i have put into the actual ipod shuffle. Can someone please help me !
    thanks

    no, there is contents. i just figured it out.
    to recap: i had 2 problems: one was that i couldn't see the contents of the shuffle. the other was that i couldn't eject my shuffle. when i tried to eject, i kept getting the message that i couldn't eject because an application was using the files on the ipod. when i clicked the icon of my shuffle i got the picture of the ipods with the heading "ipod + itunes," as i recall. there were no settings or content tabs.
    now i realize there were no tabs because i had not finished the registration of the shuffle on my pc. i had registered the shuffle on the website without using itunes. i didn't realize that there was more i needed to do in itunes because i couldn't see all of the buttons in my window. when i followed through with the registration in itunes all the way to the end, the 2 tabs were revealed and the songs that i had already loaded on the shuffle were listed in "contents." and, i was able to eject the shuffle. apparently itunes (or whatever) was still looking for a completed registration and wouldn't release the shuffle. sigh.
    if you can not see the settings and contents tabs in itunes when you click your shuffle in devices or you can not eject the shuffle, look at the window with the picture of the ipods in itunes. there is more below. complete the registration (i had already done so on the web earlier, but my itunes was not complete.).
    thanks to everyone for your help.

    A cracked screen is not coverd by warranty:
    Apple's Limited Warranty for iPod excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, liquid damage, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
