I pod shows up in i tunes but not the music or playlists on it

when i plug in the i pod it will show up and i can see the summary and everything but i cannot see the music or the play lists under the banner for the i pod in the left box. The summary shows all the used space on the i pod and my music is on it. i tried reseting the i pod and that didn't work.

Click on the chevron (the little triangle) to the left of the iPod icon in the Source list. 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 with all the tracks that are on the iPod.

  • Why is home sharing showing up on one computer but not the other?

    My homesharing is showing up on one computer but not the other! They are both under the same account and both iTunes are up to date. Unfortunatally, of course its showing up on the computer that I dont need it on. Please help me! Thanks!

    It could be a firewall issue. Try disabling the firewall and see if that helps.

  • Why do pictures I took on my iPad show up in photo stream but not the iPad camera roll?

    Why do pictures I took on my iPad show up in photo stream but not the iPad camera roll?

    The developers may not have made a version compatible with Mac OS X; if they have, it is a separate download.

    I have an iPhone 4. I recently updated. It loaded all my iTunes music purchases but not the music I had on my computer. This music was on my iPhone before I updated. I have tried re-sycing but not getting anywhere. Says it cannot locate my music files but I see it on my lap top but cannot play it or get it on my iPhone. Can anyone walk me through this?

    Thanks.  I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
    Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
    Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
    Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
    It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
    Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data.  Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
    Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

  • Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

    Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

    Because that is the design of the iphone.
    Music and photos are added/deleted via the sync process. 

  • I cannot transfer music to my iPhone4. I just got it and was shown how to do it on iTunes. I managed to transfer photos, but not the music. I tried auto sync and also manyal. Nothing worked - still no music on my iPhone :-(

  • How do you know what the data usage was for and why?  It shows you date and usage but not the reason.

    How can you see what data usage was for on the bill?  It only shows the date and usage but not the reason for the usage.

    You can not see this info on VZW's site. There are apps for smartphones that will break down the info though, but by site or what was downloaded

  • TS2972 Homesharing shows up on one computer but not the other one.

    Homeshare shows up on my desktop but not my laptop. I can acces the laptop library from the desktop fine but the desktop does not even show up on the laptop. Both iTunes versions are the most current. I have tried turning Homeshare off and back on and closing and reopening iTunes. No luck. I have checked firewall settings. Desktop has windows vista and laptop windows 7. Any suggestions?

    EDIT:
    After turning homesharing on and off, closing and reopening iTunes, and waiting, it finally connected. Oddly there are two libraries showing up. Anyway, problem solved for me! If only I could delete this question now, haha.

  • Files seen under Explorer but not under Music; making playlists outside Music

    My Zen Touch 2 sees some files only in the explorer but not under Music > Songs. I.e. I load an album into the right folder and Zen sees only the fourth, fifth etc. track under Music while seeing all under Explorer. As I can add songs to playlists only under Music, this effecti'vely blocks me from listening, What`s the... ehm, problem? Why can`t this piece of plastic see all the files?
    And second: Maybe there is a nicer way of making playlists than one by one in the device? I`ve heard some hardware Mp3/4 players cana ccept external playlists, but the help doesn`t mention this.

    QThanks but as this changes even within an album (tracks -3 not seen, later ones yes) I don`t think it is the problem of tags exclusi'vely. BTW, maybe there`s some way of making the Music window (program? folder?) display file names instead tags?
    Thanks for the playlist answer. Now`s just the problem of finding where WMP keeps them

  • My iphone 4s will not sync any music, it does the apps etc and the contents but not the music that i have selected

    I have been doing itune for years and this one's puzzled me?

    Hi im a newbie here and i recently bought an iphone from a friend (wahh i know i should have bought it legitly but i wasnt paying that price sorry),
    I have a 32 GB Black Iphone 4s and theres a problem.
    Yesterday i decided i wanted music on my phone and decided to sync my phone to my itunes and computer..
    But lets backtrack first... Earlier in the day i decided to plug a (non iphone heaphone into the headphone port) and much to my ssureprise it worked (all ive ever dealt with is blackberry) unplugged the headphones and a few hours later this is where i synced my phone tried to play music an GASP nothing..in the music app the volume nubs are gray and cannot be moved left or right and no sound is being heard.. also when i tried to check to see if my ringer was going up and down it was displaying the little speaker but not the bar that moves. Read the discussions here and it seemed that we've all been screwed now i love my iphone and all its features only phone ive ever wanted but i would love this to be fixed.
    I have tried:
    Restting all setting
    Hard Reset
    Restore
    Restore from back
    Changing everything imaginable in Setting and nothing has worked
    Making a voicenote and i actually got sound and my ringer started to work! YAY right.. WRONG
    Cleaning it with nail polish removeer
    Brushing it with a brush
    Using a paperclip and scraping it
    *i did find some fluff but it came out*
    After a few futile attempts at trying to play videos and games with sound and getting nothing i have decided its time to put my tail inbetween my legs and hope that someone can help.
    Im not sure if was the type of headphones that i used or hat but i need help
    PLEASE REPLY I NEED MUSIC
    I AM ALSO A YOUTUBER AND FILM OFF MY IPHONE AND I NEED TO HEAR WHAT **** I AM TALKING AT THE END OF A VIDEO

  • HT4527 i am trying to transfer new downloads from my iphone to my pc itunes page.  having trouble, and i don't have enough space to explain.  old itunes card purchases on pc are showing up on my iphone, but not the opposite.

    I bought an ipod a few years ago and used a few itunes cards to purchase downloads (music only).  Then, i started copying cd's to my computer and they also showed up on my itunes pages.  nonetheless, i started making playlists.  in the meantime, there was a balance of $6.96 on my account, and i was not able to use the balance to redeem because i lost the itunes card it came from (who would've thought i needed to save the card)...anyway, fine, i recently purchased an iphone.  Well, i have purchased a few new itunes cards and have downloaded about ten songs off itunes from my phone to my phone in my phone.  Okay, now i am home, and i want to see about getting things in order, ie, making playlists, etc, but including of course the music i already have on the pc in its itunes page.  mass confusion for a nontechnological person.  i think it's possible, like, to transfer from iphone to pc, and then from pc to iphone, and to coordinate songs from one to the other, but i have no idea how to do this.  so, i am researching, and i am finding support here and there, but my device isn't even showing up on the left hand side when i bring up itunes on my computer!  so, there is no way to transfer anything!
    HELP!

    First thing Suzanne, I've asked the hosts to remove your email address it's not a good idea to place it in a thread, robots will pick it up and use it to spam you, it's much better to put it in your profile and tell people in your thread that it's there.
    Not so sure about the second issue without more info, but as to the first matter, pictures you take on your phone are saved to your phone, they are not saved to iCloud, there is no way around this only to move your pictures to a computer regularly to free up more space.

  • The music I bought is on the cloud, but not the music I downloaded from other CD's I own. How do I get those to the cloud to access on other devices?

    I have a PC and have downloaded music from CD's that I own.  Have also purcahsed music from iTunes.
    The songs I've purchsed thru iTunes show up on my iPad, but the music I downloaded is not there.
    How do I get the songs I've downloaded (and are on my iPod and my PC) up to the cloud, so it will also show up on my iPad?

    You have to connect and select iPhone in iTunes under DEVICES (Left panel), select Music tab (right top), check Sync Music, and all the music you want on iPhone then tap Sync button (bottom right).
