Ipod icons shows up on itunes but i cant sync any songs.

there was a corruption with my ipod so i deleted all my songs till there was nothing left in my ipod and when i was done cleaning out my ipod i had to start from scratch updated the latest itunes 7.5 i think and even updated my pod.....the problem is that i ran diagnostics for ipod and the ports show that it connected and i myself see the ipod icon YET i cant sync any songs i have?? can someone please help me i need help and i need someone to give me the steps to fix this.

That is because you are in manual mode and there is no "sync" for manually managed iPods. YOU do the transfer by dragging and dropping songs onto the iPod and remove them by selecting them and deleting them from the iPod.
So if you dragged and dropped tunes from the iTunes library into the iPod list, then the songs should be on your iPod. Check and see.

  • I plug my iPod touch into my new macbook pro and the iPod icon shows up in iTunes, but does not show up anywhere in the finder or on my desktop...?

    I need to transfer the music off of my ipod onto my mac but i cannot do that when my macbook will not recognize my ipod touch in the finder.

    This is correct.  It will not show in finder.  It is not an external storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • HT1539 I've burnt a digital copy of 3 blu ray dvds onto my iTunes, but i cant sync them to my iPad-an error message says device needs to be authorized, but its only authorised to this computer, i've never tried to use it on any other! Can anyone help?!

    Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
    To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
    So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

    If you didn't already do so, try uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components (not just iTunes and AMDS), then reinstall iTunes, as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.  Follow the article and uninstall them in the order indicated.

  • IPod not showing up in iTunes (but it worked before)

    Hey... this is my second day of having my iPod and all was working fine. I had loaded songs into iTunes and was able to transfer them onto the iPod..
    The problem I am having now though is that I always leave my computer on at night, but I turn off my monitor. I went to sleep last night and when I turned on my monitor this morning, my computer had shown that it had been reset (it was prompting me to log in) so I did so, and now my iPod wont show up in iTunes anymore... but it does show up in windows explorer.
    Any fix to this? I've restarted my computer several times, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and also stopped the iPod process in the device manager thingy and restarted it, but to no avail.

    I've posted several questions over this and no one has helped me either, i've done all the delete, uninstall, reinstall, computer management things too, and nothing has worked for me either, I am quite disappointed at how I am not getting any help. Hope you find someone who can help you!

  • My Ipod Touch Shows Up Into Itunes, But I Can Click On It To Sync, Its Locked Or Something?

    Hi, i need Help, ever since i updated iTunes to the newest one i been having an issue, i plug in my ipod touch 5g and it shows up in itunes, but problem is i cant click on it, shows my device is plugged in but its locked or something and i cant open it to sync my ipod. as seen in picture the device shows up but i cant click on it wont let me, i cant go to the sync page.

    That means that iTunes is not seeing the iPod properly. Try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Ipod wont show up on itunes but shows up on my computer

    Just got a 2nd gen ipod shuffle and trying to sync it to my itunes library. My library does not detect my shuffle but my computer does. When I run a diagnostic "ipod connection status" is red/failed and once I click help I am sent to downlaod latest version of itunes. I tried updating to the latest version of itunes v7.4.2 but when once I click on download it does not ask me to run or save, therefore I am also unable to update to the latest version. What am I doing wrong and how can I sync my shuffle to my library. Thanks in advance.

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    What version of Windows are you using? Windows 2000 for instance won't work with iTunes 7.4, it's no longer supported which could be why you can't get the version you downloaded to run:
    iTunes for Windows in Windows XP or Windows 2000 doesn't open after upgrading
    iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

  • My ipod touch shows up in Itunes, but does not display sync screen.

    It does not sync or backup. The backup bar gets stuck at about 5%. I have removed and reinstalled iTunes several times and still nothing. I have also restored the ipod and that did nothing as well. Please help

    No error messages. I just can't drag anything into my music folder and if I check a playlist, artist, song or anything the "apply" button stays greyed out and I can't sync.

  • New ipod seen in windows and itunes but not in sync diagnostics

    I bought a second Ipod. Oldest one works fine. New one is seen in Windows and in ITunes. Diagnostics "finds" new Ipod, but on Sync diagnostics says "no Ipod found".
    Ne Ipod looks like it's staring to sync, then just stops after 30 seconds and goes to "connected" screen.
    Have done resets of Ipod and reboots of PC.
    Driver shows no error in Device Manager.
    Have tried three differenct cables and both USB ports on the pc.

    I jus tried that. Computer acknowledged Ipod and Itunes performed restore. Afterward, same situation...no sync. Screenshots:
