I cannot view the music I have on my Ipod in Itunes

I have bought a second hand Ipod touch and there is still a lot of music on it but I cannot make any changes to it in Itunes.. I have read other discussions about this but the tips there do not help. I cannot view the music at all altough the system recognizes that the songs exist..

Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Setting and Content. The media on the iPod does not transfer with the iPod hardware. The owner of the media does not have a licence to transfer the media to you.
Then sync your own media tot he iPod.

My playlist appears in itunes, but the music files have mysteriously disappeared in my iTunes Media file. Is there a way to recover them? Tried searching and cannot find them.

Older Zens don't support AAC, which is the format iTunes uses for songs.
You can convert from AAC to MP3, which every media player under the sun will play. Here's a tutorial: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10096807-49.html

TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

Depends on why it's ineligible. If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version. (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".) Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match. Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

I would like to copy the music I have on my iPod to my iPhone, How do I do this?

I have an iPod with over 700 songs on it. I would like to move or copy those songs to my iPhone. How do I do this?

Well, if the music that is on your iPod came from your iTunes library, then sync the phone to the same library. However, since you are here asking this, I'm guessing you don't have this music anywhere else but on teh iPod, correct?
If this is music that you have purchased from iTunes, then you can authorize the computer you sync to and download purchases. You also have the option if they are purchases to transfer the purchases to the iPhone if it is signed in with the same Apple ID.
If this is not purchased content, then you will have to look at a 3rd party option. See this user hint from a fellow user https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

HT1933 Unable to hear all the music I have purchased on my iPhone iTunes account on my IPhone 5.

I am unable to hear the songs I purchased on my iPhone 5. The songs skip. I have already had my speaker replaced. Now most of my purchased music will not play.

Are you saying you are not trying to play the music on your iPhone? If not please describe the problem in more detail. But this does not change the fact that you've posted to the wrong forum. This forum is for iTunes Match trouble shooting, which your original post does not appear to be related to. You will get much more effective support help by posting to the correct forum.

HT204074 Can iTunes Match take the music I have on my iPod Classic and be able to share it with my other devices?

I have the original 80 gig iPod Classic that is about half full of music I had burned from the old cd collection years ago, it was all on my laptop but that has long since crashed and burned, leaving me with the trusty classic as the only copy, now it's acting up and being temperamental and I'm hoping this is the way to get all my music backed up and accessible.

You can only subscribe to iTunes Match, and upload music to it, from a computer's iTunes.
There are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy your music back from your iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

My hard disc crashed and I have no back up other than the music I have on my ipod. I have downloaded Itunes onto my new hard disc but I have read if I just connect my ipod it will wipe everything on the latter rather than upload from it ?

How do i transfer all the music i have on my iphone to itunes?

i had to restart my whole computer so i had to redownload itunes. so now i am having trouble putting all the songs and apps on my iphone back onto my itunes.

The music sync is one way only - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

I can't transfer the music i bought on my iPod to iTunes

Even if i click on ''transfer purchases'', the songs appear in iTunes but i can't listen to them, i can't select them. There's a syncing symbol right aside of the name of the songs....

You need to transfer your iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one - then you can carry on syncing as normal. You can't move non-purchased music from an iPod to iTunes using iTunes. For purchased music, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases...

ITunes Store the connection with the Konto is ok but i cannot view the music in the store

I have a problem with the store. I cannot connect to music

Tap Settings in the Home screen then tap Sounds. You should see the ringtone just under Vibrate.
If you don't see it there, from your iTunes menu bar click Store / Check for Available Downloads. You do not have to re purchase.

I've been plugging my IPod into my laptop, and then using itunes I've clicked on the option 'IPod'. I am then able to click on the option 'On this IPod' which shows me the music I have on my IPod. Now the 'On this IPod' option has vanished PLEASE HELP?

Hi, This is the first Apple product I've ever owned and could really use anyone's help. Please do not be blunt and to the point, I need lots of detail and some steps in order to understand what I need to do Thank you!

I have recently purchased a new computer and want to move the music i have on my iPod touch to this new computer. Can someone advise me on how to do this?

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer.

I am trying to transfer music files from one PC to another using homeshare and although I can view the music as a shared folder I cannot initiate the "import" process. I have iTunes 11.0.1.12 on both computers so the help screenshots do not help as such

Then stop trying to use HomeShare and use one of the other options listed in the document from which your question was posted.
