Usually If your using the iPod updater to update the software on your iPod it doesn't wipe off your music. Now If you use the iPod updater and hit restore instead of update, yeah that will wipe the iPod clean.
First we have to see if the iPod is connecting to the PC or not. You say it doesn't show in iTUnes, so when you first plug in the iPod, look in "My Computer" in windows and see if its listed there. Sometimes its listed as "IPOD" other times its listed as "Removable Disk". If it does not show up there look at the iPod and see if the little battery icon has a flashing battery showing its atleast charging
Just to cover basics, the latest iPOd updater can be downloaded here, http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
You can read about restore and the 5R's here http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/

You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone. You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc. Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

Itunes won't display my episode descriptions

Hey,
I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm pretty new at this. I just submitted my first podcast to itunes and the listing won't display me episode descriptions. Would someone be so kind as to check my RSS file?
The URL of the RSS file is
www.indigoimp.com/poweredbysatan/pbscomedypodcast.xml
The itunes listing is
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=123048064&s=143 441
and the line that may be giving me trouble (but which looks ok to me) is..
<itunes:summary>All a man really needs in life is sex, beef, sleep, and a big stick to wack things with. In this epsiode the artist explains why beautiiful women must bring beef. Episode includes his beloved song "You Must Give Me Beef"</itunes:summary>
Thanks in advance!

Chemholio, welcome to the discussions!
Your <itunes:summary> tag looks fine, and if it's in the <channel> tag, will appear as the podcast description.
If it's in the <item> tag, it will display when someone clicks the circled "i". That's where you have it.
If you want it to appear under the "Description" column for episodes, then you must use the <itunes:subtitle> tag.
Check the example at

Hope this is helpful.

My iTunes won't display the artwork

My iTunes on a jukebox setting won't display the artwork. It currently has an error message of "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer".
It was working fine the other day. I have updated it version when I received the error message but still nothing.
However when i select the middle view option, it shows the artwork.
Please help. The black screen is annoying!

....it's my cover flow view that is not working!!!!!!

I changed the drive letter on my iPod and now iTunes won't recognize it!

Help please! I contacted an Apple associate and they told me to change the drive letter of my iPod in My Computer. I did that and now iTunes won't recognize my iPod at all and I can't change the drive letter back to the original one. What do I do?

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.

If you are still unable to upload work out data to Nike then you must contact Nike support at this point.
Hope this helps.

ITunes Won't Display (or Play) my Music

I just booted up iTunes on a brand new MacBook running Yosemite 10.10, with iTunes 12.0.0.140.
When I change the "Advanced" Preferences to point to the folder on my external drive, it has no effect whatsoever - Apple iTunes does not display my playlists and is apparently unable to find my music and media. Clicking the annoying "Scan for Media" button also does nothing (and gives no reason as to WHY it does nothing - excellence in software design. LOL!)
I have tried quitting iTunes and restarting. I have also tried rebooting the laptop (which is absurd, but one thread said this was necessary? Wow...)
What the is the deal with this? What "magic secret sauce" do I need to apply to get iTunes to work? This is a major P.I.T.A.

hi - I can't log into my old ID because the email account does not exist (why I changed my apple ID to begin with). I sent an email to Apple and they responded with basically the same advice - asking for my old ID information. I have only one ACCOUNT but two (old and new) ID's that I have purchased music under. However, when Itunes asks me to authorize my music, it will not play the songs after I have authorized them using both IDs (ie changing back to the old id name does nothing). Some of the songs that won't play were bought using both ID names - in other words, I can only play what was bought really recently, not just what was bought with the new ID.
also - the songs that will not play do not appear under my "purchase history" for my account.
Sorry if this does not make sense. I would really like to be able to play the 100+ songs that I have purchased in the past and can no longer access!
Thanks

IPod, App Store, iTunes won't load ...

Hi,
Got an iPhone 3GS on v4.3.2 and has been for some time and was working fine up until yesterday afternoon, nothing changed, nothing added or removed, no Sync done. Try to open IPod, App Store, iTunes or Safari opens for a second or so then closes, no message. Tried hard reset, soft reset, no difference. Tried Sync and same again, no difference - anyone got any ideas?
Many thanks.
Regards, Stu ...

Ok wow. Found your O2 topic and the same solution worked for me. Weird!
"As a last ditch before I went for the Restore as New last night I did the Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings ...
and three minutes later it was perfectly fine, all the applications worked and it has been fine ever since!"

How can I update my ipod if my itunes won't recognize it?

hi,
I just bought a 1gb ipod nano (online) and I've installed the software my housemate used for ipod nano. when I plug my ipod into my computer, the do not disconnect appears, which I knew would. however, my computer will not recognize the ipod nor will itunes. when I run diagnositics on it using itunes, the connection is "failed" and when I try the ipod updater, it says the program is too old and I should update using itunes.
my itunes will not recognize my ipod. I've tried the Rs, I reinstalled, I tried disk mode...nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions?
ipod nano Windows XP

I have the same issue, and I've tried every imaginable solution suggested, including everything on the link above. Ipod is not being recognized in My Computer or in iTunes.
Other USB devices work fine. Tomorrow I'm bringing my iPod to work to see if it connects to my PC there. I'm convinced this is a software issue.
I hesitate to ask for a suggestion, as I've tried virtually everything. Just thought I'd keep this thread alive.

ITunes won't display ipod contents

I manage my ipod manually. I have upgraded to iTunes version 7.6.0.29. I can add music to my ipod, but I can't figure out how to get iTunes to display the music that is on my ipod so that I can delete some of it. How can I see a list of what is on the ipod in iTunes?

It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.
You should also check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.
See: Some songs don't show under artist on my iPod.
Once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.
PS.
There really is no need to ask the same question in 5 different forums.
