I upgraded from a iPod touch to a iPad. Now my playlists from the iPod won't show up in iTunes.

My iPod still has my playlists. But when I sync with iTunes, they don't transfer over. I'm trying to export the playlists so I can import them to the new iPad.

I'm on iOS 8.1 by the way. I forgot to update my phone information before posting.

  • My iPod won't show up in iTunes but it does in my pc, isn't iTunes problem!

    My iPod won't show up in iTunes, but it does in My Pc. And I want to say that is not an iTunes problen, cause I have an iPod nano, and it works perfect with iTunes and with windows. My iPod won't show up in any computer at all, so I have read all the articles here in Support, and none of them give me a solution. I need to restore my iPod but I can't cause doesn't appear in the source list in iTunes. Do I have to send it to Technical Support? Please Help Me someone, cause I've been posting messages for one week now, and I haven't got an answer!! Pleaseee!!

    You can try putting it into disk mode to see if it makes it easier on iTunes to recognize it.
    To put your iPod into disk mode:
    1) make sure your hold switch is OFF (NO ORANGE SHOWING)
    2) hold the menu button and the center button at the same time for about 6-10 seconds until you see an apple logo
    3) AS SOON AS you see the apple logo, release the two buttons and hold down center and play/pause
    4) If you've done this properly you should now see Disk Mode Ok To Disconnect with a checkmark (when connected to your computer you should see Do Not Disconnect with Disk Mode at the top)
    After you have the iPod in disk mode...see if iTunes picks it up then.
    Keep me update.

  • IPod won't show up on itunes or mac, freezes, and doesn't play bought songs

    Okay i have four issues with my iPod
    1. It won't show up on iTunes or on Mac desktop
    2. When i plug it into the USB port it freezes and say 'Do Not Disconnect'. It will not come out of this
    3. Every single song i have bought won't play on my iPod. They transfer fine, but when i click on a bought song it simply skips over it
    4. I authorized this computer but songs still need authorizing, and i have already authorized them
    So we bought a new Mac and i plugged in my 30 GB video iPod for the first time. It showed up in iTunes then so i synced it to our new computer. Then i tried to listen to my bought songs and they simply wouldn't play. The iPod just skipped over them. I had one song out of three hundred or so that were bought actually play. Then i tried reauthorizing my new computer and getting rid of all the old computers that had been authorized. That didn't work, and the songs that actually needed to be authorized wouldn't be authorized even when i clicked on them.
    So then i unplug and just listen to it as is for awhile but then i try plugging it in again and it just doesnt show up on my Mac desktop or iTunes. And the screen becomes frozen with the same message, 'Do Not Disconnect' I wait for a half an hour for it to show up and it never does. I have no choice to unplug it and then it is still frozen with that same message. Five hours pass, and it is still like that. It finally goes off and then it simply doesnt work. So i plug it in to my charger and its fine except the whole not playing bought songs business.
    Please i beg if you have any answers to any of these problems HELP!!!!!

  • Ipod won't show up in iTunes

    Okay, after searching through these forums, I've found a ton of possible solutions, but they do not seem to be working for me.
    Yesterday I subscribed to several new Podcasts. I connected my 60GB ipod photo and it synced just fine and loaded my new podcasts. Later that day, I imported a few more songs and downloaded some more new podcasts. When I tried to connect my ipod again it won't show up in iTunes or on the desktop. Here's what I've tried so far:
    5 r's several times. The only one I haven't done is the restore, since iTunes won't recognize the iPod, I can't restore the iPod software. I've tried to reset my iPod alot, both when it is connected to the powerbook and when it is unplugged.
    Checked cable. I think the cable is ok, because when I plug my iPod into my powerbook the ipod charges fine, but won't load in iTunes. I don't have another cable to try though.
    Attempted to put the iPod in disk mode, and still couldn't get the computer to recognize it at all.
    I'm planning on taking it to the apple store to see if I can connect it to another apple computer, but thought I'd check here first. Thanks in advance.
    EDIT: The ipod still charges and plays without any issues.

    I have had the same issue. I tried an archive and install of Tiger. iTunes did not show the iPod at first. I left the iPod plugged in to the Mac, quit iTunes, then restarted iTunes. The iPod then showed up in the Source list.

  • Playlist I made on my ipod won't show up in itunes

    So! I have a new ipod touch fourth gen I did the software update recent and it just majorly screwed my iPod up more
    than anything else. I was capable of fixing the other issues by myself, but now for whatever reason after making a playlist
    on my ipod it will not show up in itunes. Recently added, recently played, and top 25 are there, just not the one I made on
    my ipod away from itunes. Any ideas and or remedies?! Much appreciated.

  • My Ipod won't show up on Itunes and tells me that it is either not responding or disconnected

    It started right after I upgraded both Itunes and my Ipod touch. The sync tab no longer appears in itunes and when I run a diagnostic, it does not seem to find the ipod. I've restarted the ipod, the apple and ipod service on the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes twice, and tried using a different computer to check to see if it is the cable itself but nothing seems to be helping!

    I´ve restaured and tried to start from scratch, but this time my apps wont even sync.
    Some of my apps show in itunes, but I can´t find the way to sync via Itunes, i dont find the part where it says "allow this new device to install" or something like that.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Thanks a lot!
    One more thing please:
    The only way I am able to install apps in my new Iphone 5 is via Itunes (my computer), I dont seem to be able to download apps from my Iphone.
    In every attempt the phone asks for my password for my Apple ID, which I provide correctly ... and then ... nothing. I hope you can give a hand here.
    Thanks in advance

  • Ipod won't show up in itunes, but there's a twist...

    Okay, let's start from the beginning. My dad bought me an iPod for my birthday. But, since we're cheap, he got a refurbished one. It's an iPod (dock connector/3rd gen.) and it came with a split USB and Firewire cable. I plugged it in and everything was going fine at first. I ejected it after it had imported about a gig of music so that I could verify that it was working (I've had trouble with iPods in the past). I listened to it and everything was going just fine. So, I plugged it back in so that it could continue importing my music. Later, I moved the iPod and my computer informed me that I hadn't unplugged it properly. To which I shouted "But I didn't unplug it at all!" Neither my computer nor my iPod seemed to care what I thought. I frantically checked my iPod to make sure that it was still okay and, well, it wasn't. It will admit that there are 7 gigs taken up, but it doesn't recognize any actual songs. Thus begins my two-day battle with my formidable oponent: apple.com. I begin searching around, trying to find ways to fix this. I am told that I need to restore my iPod, so I click the link to discover how to do this. The article tells me to first download the latest version of iTunes. I comply. The next instruction tells me to plug in my iPod. I, being not entirely stupid, had borrowed my friend's iPod cord since I'd determined that that was the source of my problems. I plug in my iPod using this cord and after a bit, finder and my desktop tell me that my iPod is plugged in. ITunes tells me that it can't read what's on my iPod and I should restore it. I click okay and wait patiently for the iPod icon to appear in the source bar. It never does. I decide to restart my computer, hoping that this will work. It doesn't. I then resume my battle with apple.com. After some fruitless and frustrating searching (including an article that told me to restore my iPod in order to fix the problem...idiots), I find the post on this very message board where someone had the same problem that I'm having. In the responses I was given a link to an article. I followed this link and there I was told to download a Mac OS X update thingy. I downloaded this and updated (which took forever). And (surprise) nothing changed. After all of this, I decided that I would give this discussion a try. Please, help.
    p.s. - I understand that this is very long, but I felt it best to give a detailed account of all those things that I have already tried. Besides, I'm witty and entertaining...right?
    iBook G3   Mac OS X (10.3.8)  

    I'm having the same problems. Suddenly, around the end of August, my 3rd generation iPod would charge but not mount via Firewire. It worked fine away from the computer but I could no longer load songs or edit my playlists. I tried all the "Rs" plus switching cables and ports. I plugged into 4 other macs- some with no other firewire devices plugged in.
    I installed a version of Panther on one of my hard drives- no luck. I discovered that the iPod would mount with USB2.0 but that connection would not charge the battery AND the USB port rapidlly drains the battery. A full charge lasts a little less than 5 minutes and even less if the iPod is accessed.
    I was able to re-install earlier updates with the USB2.0 connection. Still no luck.
    I reformatted for both mac and windows- no luck.
    All the while, I'm reading posts on this site with others experiencing the same problems. It makes me wonder if the last update did something strange to the way the mac communicates through firewire that "orphaned" the 3rd generation iPods.
    If only I could use USB2.0 with out the battery rapidly draining I would be OK. I've posted a request to see if anyone has knowledge of a dual purpose USB2.0 cord that would "Y" into a power adapter. I haven't heard anything yet but I just posted it last night.
    Anyways, I'll be checking for responses to your post, my post and many others to see if a solution presents itself.
    I don't believe any of the suggestions are "stupid". I'm sure the vast majority of iPod users have newer models and we owners of older ones are kind of low on the radar. It is very frustrating, though. Especially, when its apparent that MANY others are suddenly having the same problem
    Thanks!
    Don't have time to spell check so I hope I don't sound stupid!

  • My IPod apps won't open. So I looked it up, and it said to sync the apps to itunes, i tried this, but when i try to sync, the apps won't show up on Itunes. It keeps saying "0 apps". What do i do?

    Ever since yesterday, my Ipod apps won't open properly. I googled it, and couldn't find anything accurate. So i deleted all of the apps, and re-downloaded them. Now they're doing it again. When i tap on it, it looks like it wants to open, but then it goes back to the main menu. I googled it again, and got an answer saying to go to Itunes, uncheck the "sync apps" box, and sync. Then after that, recheck the box, and sync again. Many people said this worked, but it didn't for me. Also whenI go to sync my apps, they don't show up in Itunes. How do I get them to show up in Itunes?

    I had the same issue. After searching around online I found out that you can try downloading another app (it can be any app) onto your ipod. After it finishes downloading see if your other apps open. You don't even have to keep the new app. Just see if your other ones work and you can delete the new one. That should work. If not, try to hard reset it. Here is another apple support link for steps on hard reseting it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430). 

  • I downloaded music from itunes on my phone but the purchases won't show up on itunes on my computer?

    I downloaded an album on my phone using itunes (not any other downloading site) and for some reason the purchases are not showing up when I open iTunes on my computer. Any suggestions as to how to solve?

    Hi pretzelstix,
    It sounds like you are trying to access some of your past purchases from your Apple ID. You can find information on doing this using the following article:
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht2519
    It could be the case that you were expecting your purchases to show up in iTunes automatically after downloading them on your iPhone. If that is the case, you may need to enable Automatic Downloads, which can be done using this information:
    Enable Automatic Downloads - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht4539
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

It says: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
    I unistalled iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, iPodService, Safari, and anything Apple from my computer and installed them into different folders. However, I'm still getting this problem even after multiple reinstalls AND system restore. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance for your help!

  • IPod information not showing up in iTunes

    How come every time I connect my iPod to my computer, the contents won't show up in iTunes?
    I see my iPod and the eject button under devices but I can't see anything else (songs, videos, NOTHING...) Like there's no triangle next to it.
    Can someone help me? I tried uninstalling and installing itunes many times. And I recently downloaded the new iTunes version. Nothing helps.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
