IPod Nano appears on my list of iTunes devices. Summary tab shows 928 manually managed songs; music tab however shows nothing. Where did the songs go?

I recently undated software all around, reloaded windows 8 and upgraded to windows 8.1.  My iPod Nano (1.0.4) appears on my list of iTunes (11.1.3) devices. The summary tab for my iPod shows 928 manually managed songs (2 of 8 GBs still empty).  However, when I click on the music tab immediately to the right of the summary tab, iTunes no longer shows my songs, playlists or audio books.  Instead iTunes invites me to "sync" my iPod and kiss my contents goodbye. Why won't the songs appear in iTunes anymore?  My iPod still plays the songs and they appear on the tiny iPod screen.   iTunes however won't show them. iTunes still allows me to drag and drop new music and books into my iPod but iTunes won't let me see the particulars.  I want to delete some audio books I've finished but iTunes won't let me to them.  What gives?

Thanks iPodmaven for showing me how to check the arrow to the right of the device image and convert it into a inverted triangle.  Problem solved!  Thanks

    I checked for anything either bent or broken, and as far as I know everything looks fine, though I could probably clean out the dust and dirt collected in there after a year. I could take a picture if that would help. Would being dirty inside there cause this to happen? It's one thing I guess I never thought of and probably should do.

  • Where did the songs in my Itunes library go?

    I had songs in my itunes library that I have brought over from my pc. In other words, these are not songs purchased in the itunes store.
    Anyway, I connected my wifes Ipod to my mac to try and add the song on my mac to her ipod. Not sure what I did but somewhere I selected add manually, then dragged and dropped the songs in the mac library to the ipod symbol.
    Some songs trasferred but I got a message that over 100 songs could not be located because they were not in there original location or something to that effect.
    When I finished the transfer and went back to the mac list, those 100 songs were gone.  They are not in trash. They are not in the ipod. They are not in the mac i tunes library.  Just gone. I've done searches using Finder but no luck.  Gone.
    No I don't have time capsule set up. Could never get that to find set up properly...
    Any suggestions? 

    one last thing: I'm also getting this problem here too:

  • My 4th generation Ipod nano is no longer listed as a device managed by my iTunes account.

    I have done all of the troubleshooting suggestions by Apple with the exception of restoring my iPod.  I have recharged my device, tried a different USB port, updated the software but my device is still not listed as a managed device with my iTunes account.  I have also signed out of iTunes and signed back in but that has not worked either.
    Do I have to have an iTunes Match subscription to have my device back on my account?
    I will try restoring my device but I have to download my music first.
    Thanks

  • IPod nano (4th gen) not recognized by iTunes 11.1.3

    I have an iPod nano (4th gen). After upgarding iTunes to v 11.1.3 (MacBook Pro) I get the follwoing message:
    iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod.
    Unfortunately, I restored to factory settings, which erased everything, but each time I connect the iPod I get the same message.
    It must be an issue with compatibility because I get the same message with my wife's iPod (same gen), but hers syncs just fine on her iTunes (v 10), and I get the same message using two different USB cables.
    So now my iPod is essentially empty (factory settings) and as good as a paperweight unless there is a way to get iTunes to recognize and sync. If I could get past the error message, I suspect it would be easy to sync automatically or manually.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi JMfromMN,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If your iPod isn't recognized by your computer, this article may help:
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    Since your wife's iPod displays the same behavior omn your computer, it sounds like the troubleshooting for the iPod itself (which you've largely already done anyway) can be skipped.

  • My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i have purchased an iphone 4s and synced it with itunes.

    My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i purchased an iphone 4s and synced the phone with itunes.  When I plug my ipod into my imac, it does not even read or recognize my ipod.  What do i do?

    Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable?  Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

  • My main computer I have my itunes with died, I had all of my music there. I do have all music on an ipod nano but when I connect it to one of my other computers it wants to erase what is there, can I use the cloud to upload all my music from the nano?

    My main computer died where i was keeping tohusands of songs, never had a icloud account to share with all my computers I authorized for my account. I do have just about all of the music ononeofmy ipod nanos. Can I set up a cloud account and then upload all of my music from the nano? Right now it will not allow me to "push" my musicfrom thenano to one of my working computers that I have Itunes on. What can Ido?

    No. An iPod Nano has no internet access.

  • Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

    iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

    If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    "Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
    So you can rule that out.

  • My new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

    my new ipod nano is not recognized by my itunes and I have tried the trouble shooting tips

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62 and Windows 8.1.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • I had to pay to have Apple replace my iPod Nano (6th gen.). I connected it to my PC and a window came up saying something about needing to restore the iPod to work with Windows, so I hit "restore iPod".  iTunes will not recognize the iPod. Suggestions?
