I tunes recognizes my i pod but new music will not go on it

All of my music recently disapeared so i had to import all of my songs again and now when i plug my ipod in i tunes recognizes it but new music will not go on my ipod

Try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

  • I just recently bought a PC, and I just spent some money on some new songs. I plugged my iPod into the computer and my photos immediately began to sync to my photos library, but my music will not move to my iPod. Suggestions? Thanks!

    The transfer purchases option only works for tracks that were purchased from the iTunes Store.  You'll need the help of third party software to extract all other non-iTunes purchased content and music. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?

    An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to.  To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song.  Repeat as necessary.

  • Itunes 10.5.2 says is up to date but new iphone will not sync

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • After downloading ios 7, my iphone 4 will sync but my music will not show up only itunes purchases will show up and be the only ones playing. the rest have a little red square next to them

    Ive been having this problem ever since i upgraded to ios 7. I went to put new music on my iphone, and i synced my phone went to listen to my music and it either has a cloud next to it, a red square, or is there but clear and will not play. Seems that purchases from itunes are the only music that actually work. When i put my phone on shuffle, it continues to shuffle through my music until it finds a song that will actually play, which ends up being one of the purchased songs. I have a total of about 1300 songs, about 600 purchases and the rest just dont work. Please help me find what is wrong with this because it has been weeks and im going insane and really debating on switching over to a different phone brand like the new blackberry or s4, im done with apples ****.

    Update - I found the iphoto cache deleted it.  This did not work.... it still cannot find the photos.  I then placed all the photos on my desktop and synced my phone to the folder.  It found ALL the pictures on my desktop folder.  I would still prefer to find a fix, so I can sync my photos to iPhoto....

  • I want to update but new version will not allow page rating

    Our Trend Micro security system offers a page rating scale that we use to help our sons keep to safe web sites. When I went to update Firefox to the latest version (4), it would not allow us to keep the rating scale - something which has not been a problem on previous versions. I therefore returned to the "3.6"(?) version in order to keep the scale. How can I solve this issue please?

    Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
    Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
    Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps?  You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
    Next would be to restore from backup
    Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • New music will not sync to Iphone

    I have added a bunch of new music and reorganized my playlist's on itunes but when I try to sync my iphone 4S it will sync eveything (calnders, address book) but not change or add anything from itunes.
    Itunes 11.1.3
    IOS 7.0.4

    Is the content actually selected to sync?
    If it is, try unchecking the sync music option and sync.  Once complete, check the sync music option and sync.

  • I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to IOS6 and now my music will not sync correctly. I have reset to factory settings twice, and the system works but my music will not sync

    Like i said above, my music will no longer sync. I can open the ipod, get on safari and what not, but when i attempt to sync, it says it is complete after less than a minute, and the music is not on it. I tried the manual artist upload and it is still unsuccessful

    Yeah, my itunes hasnt changed.

  • New music will not sync to my iPhone 4, and music that was previously synced but was added to library through a CD will not play and has a red square and is grayed out.

    I use iTunes on my family iMac, my iTunes, I believe, one update below the current software any my iPhone is on iOS 7.0.3. Music purchased through iTunes syncs correctly and will play properly. Songs that I have obtained through CD's, however, are now grayed out and have a red square with a circle around it. When I click on the song, it will cycle through my library until it can play a song. iTunes will also not restore songs that I have removed from my iPhone but are in the cloud. Is there any possible way to fix this issue? Everything has been working fine until iOS 7 and the new version of iTunes. Thank you for your time!

    I am so relieved to hear that I am not the only one experiencing this! However, I am sorry to hear you are going through this as well. Lucky for me I am upgrading to a 5s which will be sent to me on Wednesday. I did stumble upon an article with tips on how to downgrade back to iOS 7, but I am EXTREMELY apprehensive about doing that myself. Here's the article link if you want to give it a go:

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • My iPhone 5 has my old email address and password in it, I updated both online, but my phone will not recognize and therefore has now locked me out of my photo stream.  how do I change my iCloud email on my phone???

    Please help.
    iCloud on my iPhone still has my old email in it with no option to update it.  I have no access to the old email.   I updated my email and password online via my macbook, but my phone will not recognize either!  It keeps popping up a screen for me to enter my password, but it says it's incorrect.  
    How do I fix this on my phone?????
    I can't fix it online because my iCloud online (although working) does not recognize either of my devices because they need updated….which I'm not able to do due to storage issues.
    I just want my phone to recognize the new email and password!!
    I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm about to throw this phone across the room.
    thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.
    This is answer is provided from my own database of boilerplate responses and the content was last reviewed and tested on: 2014/05/23
    You should still be able to log into an old email account, even if you haven't used it for some time, very few providers delete email accounts.

  • I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  What do I do???

    I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music.  I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't.  I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!?  What do I do???

    You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC.  Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

  • Switched MB Pros, Used TMachine to Migrate NOW New MB Will Not Recognize ..

    Just switched from previous gen MB Pro to new MB PRo...Used TMachine to back up and Migrate NOW new MB will not recognize my "old" MB archive and wants to start a new TMachine archive.
    New machine has name "name (2)" and old machine was "name". Is there someway to let T Machine "know" that I want to use the same archive to maintain continuity?

    As Mr. Boyd says, TM has been enhanced in Snow Leopard to let you do this easily, but it's a problem in Leopard.
    Some folks have tried the procedure in #C8 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum. It may not work well, or at all, in this case, since it's two rather different Macs, not the same Mac with a new logic board.

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.
