Ipod says no music but when connected to computer shows music

ipod says no music, but when hooked to mac shows music and playlists

In the Mac iTunes, you may be looking at the iTunes library, click the iPod iCon in the device pane, and look at the summary page, it will tell you what is shown in the iPod.
The Capacity  section will report Audio, and Other (which in your case may contain your music) due to filesystem coruuption.
Have a nice day!

  • IPod Classic 80 GB Freezes when connecting to Computer

    Hi.
    My iPod Classic 80 GB Freezes when connecting to my computer (Vista... yes... I know). I've got my iPod for over a year now and I've never had real trouble with it.
    When I plug it in (iTunes already running) my computer gives me the 'thumbthumb' noise because an USB thingamajib is connected to the computer. At this moment my iPod freezes and stays on. iTunes doesn't seem to find my pod. When I disconnect my iPod, it'll stay on (doesn't go energy safe mode) and stays frozen until the battery is empty. But by then, I've already lost my playing info (Which I really value).
    Pllllllease help me out her.

    Someone has finally found a solution to this problem and i decided that i would spread the word around ... so here are the steps:
    1) Quit iTunes.
    2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.
    3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.
    4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".
    6) Go to <http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes8_21> and download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the diskimage and run the installer.
    You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.
    And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything.
    *If you download the iTunes file from the "support.apple" link, and you can't open it, go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/06/28/apple-itunes-8-2-and-quicktime-7-6-2-di rect-download-links/ and download "iTunes 8.2 for Windows: iTunesSetup.exe

  • My ipod say its syncing but when I check my ipod nothing has transferred

    I'm trying to sync the songs I've purchased on my computer to my ipod. I click sync and it says its syncing and that it has synced, but when I look for the new songs they have'nt transferred to my ipod. What's going on, or how do I fix this? I tried resetting my ipod, but that didn't work.

    Have you tried deleting the account and re-installing?

  • IPod says "FireWire not supported" when connecting with a USB cable

    Hello all. First post ever. I am trying to connect my Nano (1 gig) to my Windows Vista. (This use to work flawlessly) Whenever I try to connect my iPod to my computer via a USB cable, it says "FireWire connections are not supported please use USB cable provided blah blah..." It is strange because I have never used anything but a USB cable with my iPod. I've tried everything, resetting via Menu + select, putting it in Disk mode. Seperate PC's including an XP PC. Anyone ever had this happen to them? Please help!!
    Thank you,
    Ben Roughan

    This message appears to be a hardware issue, and cannot be fixed; the iPod likely needs to be replaced.

  • IPod HDD never spins down when connected to computer

    I've got a two-week old iPod.
    I've selected "Manually manage music and videos" in the iPod options in iTunes.
    Whenever my iPod is connected to my MacBook, the iPod's HDD is constantly spinning, and the backlight is always turned on. (I've got it set to turn off after 10 seconds when using it while not connected to the computer.)
    Is this always-spinning HDD/always-on backlight normal behavior for an iPod connected to a computer?
    I tried the "Five Rs," but nothing changed.

    Just got back from the Apple Store, where they gave me a replacement iPod for the one that wasn't spinning down while connected and charging to the computer.
    Got home, tried the new one--and the same thing. The backlight remains on and the hard drive spins away while it's connected to the computer.
    Am I doing something wrong? Is this actually normal behavior for iPods that are enabled for disk use rather than to sync?

  • Ipod not being recognized/freezing when connected to computer

    Hey all
    My Photo Ipod has stopped syncing with my computer. When I plug it into the firewire cable it just freezes on whatever screen it is on and doesnt appear in Itunes, or under My Computer. I have tried resetting the Ipod while it is connected to the computer, it gets so far as the apple screen and then locks up and stays on that screen till I unplug it. I know the issue is not the dock connector, because it works just fine when I plug it into my FM Transmittor in the car. Any help would be appreciatted.
    Thanks

  • I reset my computer and ipod and it says that my ipod is syncing music but when I look on my ipod touch there is no music there.

    I reset my computer and ipod and it says that my ipod is syncing music but when I look on my ipod touch there is no music there. How can i fix it? I have backed up and restored my ipod touch 4th gen several times.

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device 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.

  • Ipod classic has been wiped. cannot see it on the 'device list' in my itunes. I have tried restoring to factory settings and reloading...it reloads some of the music, but when I plug the Ipod back in, it wipes it again.

    Ipod classic has been wiped saying 'no music'etc.
    Cannot see it on the 'device list' in my itunes. I have tried restoring to factory settings and reloading...it reloads some of the music, but when I plug the Ipod back in, it wipes it again. Ocassionally Itunes freezes when I plug in the Ipod.

    Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug. 
    A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

  • I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

    I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos".  How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two?   I just want to add a feature.  Thanks

    Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
    You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
    Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
