THat is working correctly.
The iPod is not connected so iTunes cannot see the iPod.

It cannot transfer when it is disconnected because it is disconnected.
Whats wrong with my Ipod/Itunes?
Dunno?
With the iPod not connected, do you have music in iTunes?
Does it play?

  • Transferred music not showing up in iTunes library

    I moved my music from a PC to Mac and now it's not showing up in iTunes. I used an external hard drive to copy all of the songs over and they are in the iTunes music folder. Is there something else I have to do to get them to show up in my iTunes library?

    Thanks Niel. I knew it had to be something simple!

  • Added music not showing up in iTunes library

    I recently bought a cd online and I tried to add it to my library. I tried it like three times, the music isn't showing up there. When I go to the "recently added" playlist, I can see the music there and it's also on my iPod, but it's nowhere to be found in the music folder. What should I do? Is my iTunes library corrupted?

    right-click on one of those tracks in iTunes and choose get info. go to the summary tab and check the path to the original file.
    also, in iTunes for Mac, if you right-click on a file, you get the option to show in finder (the equivalent to windows explorer). not sure but iTunes for windows might have something similar.

  • When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?

    When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'.  This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library.  How can I get it into my library?  It doesn't sync either.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

    I have an iPhone 4 and have songs on it that do not show on my iTunes library. Everything is up to date, but I cannot get these songs to show to make my playlists.  Some of these songs were from CDs I had. How do I get these songs to transfer from the iPhone to the iTunes library?

  • Ipod is not showing up in itunes

    my ipod is not showing up in itunes. What's going on?

    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.

  • IPod Touch not showing up in iTunes, already read Apple Troubleshooting

    My iPod Touch is not showing up in iTunes on my iMac.  I cannot find it from my iMac when I search for it.  I have tried using different USB ports and have restarted the iPod and the computer.  The iPod does not appear to be charging through the computer either since there is no symbol across the battery.  I am able to use the same cable with the wall charger and charge the iPod successfully.   

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Ipod touch not showing songs in itunes

    I connected my 4th gen ipod touch to my laptop as usual. I have over 3,000 songs on it, but when I click on ipod, then on this ipod, it shows up as zero items. All my songs are still on my ipod, and I use manually manage. I do not want to sync in case I lose everything as I do not keep songs on itunes library. The bar at the bottom shows up as though the songs are there but they are not showing up under devices. It says 9gb free, and the ipod is 32gb.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Do the songs play on the iPod?
