IPOD Showing up, music NOT synching!

I have gone through a million and one messages on the support page, and STILL I have NO answers. I cannot sync my songs in my iTunes library to my IPOD. Its showing up on iTunes under my music for my IPOD, but its not on my IPOD!!!
CAN someone help?? I am pulling my hair out left and right here.
I have reset, uninstalled, and reinstalled iTunes, and everything, and its STILL NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!!!

I started getting the message the other day. I shut
down my computer every day, so yes the computer has
been shut down since the error message started
appearing. The only thing that I can think of that
might have something to do with this is either
iTunes7 being buggy or that I recently changed my log
on name for iTunes because my email address had
changed.
To answer your other question: Yes it is the same
account that iTunes was created on. It is the first
account I made when I set up the pc and I install
everything from this account.
Any other ideas? I do think it started after I
changed the account name so I might try to change it
back and see what happens.

The iTunes Store account name should not make a difference for this error message. Unable to write to a specific folder on the computer comes down to the setting in Windows for that folder. Some applications will change them, but iTunes isn't one that does.
If you check the properties for the following folders are they read only?
My Documents (usually on the desktop full path is C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\)
My Music (inside My documents)
iTunes (inside My Music)
and any folders inside the iTunes folder there.
Please let me know what the properties show for those folders.
Thank you

  • Ipod says no music after synch

    My ipod says no music after synch, this has happened before but I don't know how to fix it.  Any ideas?

    Please dont chuck it out of the window, it might land on some poor elves.
    Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem but help in troubleshooting.

    Dear Sirs,

    Hello there Jameskuo47,
    In researching the issue you are experiencing I found an article that should help get your iTunes Match content to your iPhone. The name of the article is iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match and you can find it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913.
    This section specifically:
    To add an iOS device to iTunes Match
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
    Note:
    iTunes Match requires iOS 5.0.1 or later; you can find the
    latest iOS software here'
    Tap the iTunes Match switch to On.To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device.
    Your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
    Important:
    When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
    Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
    By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is enabled1. To disable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > Music > Use Cellular Data > Off.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Please Help! Ipod syncing and copying with itunes but Ipod shows No Music

    I don't know what I am doing wrong, I've got maybe 30 songs in Itunes, I connect the ipod, the ipod shows up in itunes. I have tried the following ways to get music from the library onto the pod
    1. Right Click 'my pod' - select update songs
    2. Top menu File - select songs on my pod
    3. Right Click 'my pod' - select 'options' tick automatically update all songs,
    4. As 3 but selected Manually update songs
    In each instance the itunes thing goes through the motion of syncing, copying and updating etc
    Then if you click on 'my pod' you can see in itunes all the music is there although you can not click on it or play it but the list is there.
    However when I detached the pod it says No Music, No Playlists
    Nothing
    I checked the status and the ipod is empty
    I don't know what else to do!!
    Please can someone help
    Many Thanks in advance

    Your libarary doesn't just appear on any computer you sign into with your appleID.  If your computers are on the same network, you can enable home sharing and access the other computer's library this way.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen not synching?

    When I tried to synch my ipod it told me that there were 3 apps I could not synch to my ipod because they werent compatible. I have used these apps forever and they just started this. The apps were ibooks, tumblr, and aviary photo editor. I think it said something about my ipod being out of date or something so looked to see what version my itunes and ipod were and I noticed that my ipod and my itunes were not up to the most current version but every time I clicked update it said it was up to date. So i went on the site and downloaded it from there and somehow finally got my ipod up to (6.1.5) and my itunes to (11.1.3). But it still kept saying the apps could not synch to my ipod and meanwhile new songs that I downloaded on my ipod werent synching wither. Si I said screw those apps all I care about are my new songs synching so I deleted those apps. But now those new songs still arent synching and Ive noticed if I delete an app on my itunes or on the ipod they are translating over which leads me to assume the apps arent synching so maybe nothing is synching. However when I watch it synch it seems to go through the 6 synching stages (wait for synch to start, prepare to synch, determining apps to synch, determining tracks to synch, waiting for changes to be applied, and sometimes it will say finishing synch). But no matter what my new songs wont go on there and then since I deleted ibooks it keeps telling me I cant read books on my ipod now, i really dont care about reading books but either way it gives me a message that i either cant read them anymore or the app isnt compatible. Can someone help me make my itouch synch correctly please?
    Sorry for the super long explanation.

    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod        
    Try syncing using the manual method
    Next try restoring from backup.
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    Regarding apps, some apps have been updated and the updated apps require iOS 7. However, you should be able to redownload the last compatible version via the iPod. See:

  • IPod shows NO music but "data" is there! How can I recover Playlists, etc?

    Turned on my iPod (Windows formatted) and it showed NO music/content at all, like it was completely blank. Asked for Language selection on boot-up, etc.
    The home computer is in another state, so I can't just resync to restore the music and playlists. iTunes shows the iPod as having 55GB of "data", but it doesn't show up on the player. It's like the internal database became corrupt.
    I've tried a couple of data recovery programs, but nothing works. I'm primarily interested in recovering the PLAYLISTS. I have a backup of all the music, but the playlists took a long time to assemble.
    Unless there's an easier fix (I've tried restarting the iPod, etc.) is there a location on the iPod (using Anapod Explorer or something) where the Playlist data is stored? I looked in the ".Trashes" and other folders but didn't see anything resembling Playlist data.

    Have you tried Don King's method as outlined here?
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=915194#915194
    Don't know if it will recover the playlist structure though.

  • Show all music not working on my iPhone!

    Dear Community:
    I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 installed with iTunes Match turned on. I'm not sure if this problem existed in iOS 6 (I'd say no), but even when I enable "show all music", my library doesn't show up entirely. It only shows the 1000 or so songs that i have downloaded. When I connect to WiFi, it shows my entire library, and gives me the option to download any track, as usual. Before the problem started, my entire library showed up, and I could download any track over 3G, BUT I could listen to it only if i had downloaded it before, so if I enable the use of 3G i will be able to listen over cellular, but with the classic lousy quality, and not the full track.
    Any suggestions as to why my library isn't showing? I've tried disabling show all, closing the app, enabling, rebooting, etc. and still no results. If anyone could help me, would be great.
    Best,
    F

    Hi Michael,

    Forgot about that setting even though I knew about it, just goes to show, out of sight, out of mind.

  • Show all music not working on iPhone 6

    HHelping a family member set up their new iPhone 6. Email, iCloud, iTunes all set up with an apple id but toggling "show all music" in settings>music has no effect nor does settings>iTunes and App Store show all music toggle. Went into iTunes store on the iPhone and it shows 109 purchases of songs "not on this iPhone" but they won't show up in the music app.
    tried:
    resetting
    hard resetting
    toggling the settings mentioned above on and off repeatedly
    signing in and out of iCloud on divice
    signing in and out of iTunes and App Store on device
    what am I missing here? On my 5s when I toggle settings>music>show all music the albums not on my Phone instantly appear and disappear.
    many thanks for any help or advice

    Hi Gail thanks for your quick reply. When I go into the itunes store under the Apple ID in question it shows 109 purchased songs. These are the songs I'm expecting to see when I toggle "show all music" but nothing appears.
    edit: I tried logging into my Apple ID on his phone, all of my purchases showed up immediately in his music as being in the cloud. Could it be some issue with his Apple ID? It's verified on the phone and seems to be working for everything else.

  • My iPod seven generation is not synching

    My iPod nano is not synching with my computer.  It recognizes the device but diagnostic when run says it is not recognizing the device.

    Hi mholmes1275,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  Click on the link to see more information.
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
    Connectivity/syncing
    Follow these steps if your computer doesn't recognize your iPod or you have issues with syncing your iPod.
    iPod not recognized by iTunes or computer
    Make sure you have installed the latest iTunes software from www.itunes.com/downloads. Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer. Your computer needs a USB 2.0 port or a USB 3.0 port to connect iPod nano. If you have a Windows PC that doesn't have a USB 2.0 port, in some cases you can purchase and install a USB 2.0 card.
    If iPod nano is connected to a USB hub, try connecting iPod nano directly to your computer's USB port.
    iPod nano might need to be reset. Reset iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button until you see the Apple logo appear.
    If you're connecting iPod nano to a portable computer using the Lightning Cable, connect the computer to a power outlet before connecting iPod nano.
    Check the cable connections. Disconnect the cable at both ends and make sure no foreign objects are in the USB ports. Then reconnect the cable.
    Try reinserting the Lightning connector into the iPod. The Lightning connector can be inserted either way.
    Try restarting your computer.
    If none of these steps resolves the issue, you might need to restore the iPod nano software.Also see these articles for further assistance:
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows

  • Music not synching

    My music on MacBook Pro is not synching with my iPhone 5. Any suggestions?

    I am having the same issue!  It started after I updated the new iPhone update. 
    When I connect to iTunes, it goes through the steps and stops at the end and does nothing.
    And now when I play my music on my iPhone, my songs are disappearing.
    WHAT IS GOING ON???

  • Using iTunes Match, Show All Music not working for one playlist

    I am using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.2. I just recently subscribed to iTunes Match and all of my music has been matched/uploaded.
    When I turn on iTunes Match and Show All Music on my iPhone, all of my playlists show up but one of them is incomplete, and doesn't have an option to download the missing songs from the cloud.
    So, for example, I have a playlist that on my Mac has 696 songs and they are all matched by iTunes Match, and they all appear as either already on my phone or downloadable. Most of the other playlists are the same: working as expected. But I also have a playlist that on my Mac has 58 songs and they are all matched by iTunes Match, but only nine of them appear on my phone (they were already there), and none of the remaining 49 are showing as available to download from the cloud.
    Is it possible to fix this? I've had bad luck in the past deleting playlists on the phone with the goal of having them refresh during the next sync. (The bad luck involved my playlists being deleted in iTunes on my Mac after the sync.)

  • IPod shows no music, iTunes no longer reads iPod

    I have a 4th generation 40gig iPod (non-colour). Yesterday, I plugged it into my MacBookPro, it loaded my iTunes, and I manually added a couple of songs and made a new iPod playlist. I then spent some time going through my old iPod playlists and listened to a bunch of music directly from my iPod. When I was done, I hit the eject button in iTunes, waited for the "DO NOT DISCONNECT" message to disappear, and disconnected my iPod. When I did so, I found that it was completely devoid of music. I tried plugging it back into my computer, and I was met with a message telling me that iTunes cannot read my iPod, and a suggestion to restore my iPod from the summary window.
    My music is not all in one place, after switching computers a few times, so I'd prefer to avoid restoring, if at all possible. Not only that, but my playlists are really valuable to me. I want to get those back. I have accessed my iPod on my desktop and it shows me that I have 10 gigs of space left, plus I accessed the hidden folders under "iPod_controls" that shows a bunch of .mp3 files, so I know that SOMETHING is still there. I tried using Stellar Phoenix iPod Recovery, but I could only run it in the setting that scanned for file types, and it only recovered about 1/5th of my music (I don't think it recovered any playlist files, either). I have seen the article about manually copying files from the iPod onto a hard drive, but it seems to only cover the actual music files. Is there any way I can manually copy the library-specific files so that I can retain my playlists, at the very least?

    And I clearly have posted this in the wrong section. Sorry. I always think of my iPod as a "classic" and I forget that it's actually not the same thing as an older iPod. I'm reposting this in the general iPod board.

  • Ipod nano 6th gen, not synching with itunes

    My ipod is not showing up in itunes - it shows up in 'my comp' but not in itunes.  On my ipod screen it synchs for approx 5secs then stops and i get a box with 'an ipod has been detected but was not recognised'  i have tried all the suggestions on the site but no joy.  I live really far away from a store so travelling to a genius bar isn't really possible.  Anyone have any suggstions?  Also is it possible to restore the 6th gen - as i cannot synch to itunes?

  • Why is my music not synching to my iphone?  it's on teh icloud

    The music on the iCloud is not showing up on my iPhone.  It was there this past weekend and now it's gone.  help?

    Hi heal1995,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are seeing a discrepancy between the number of songs iTunes shows are on your iPhone and the number of songs you actually see on your iPhone. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article to make sure the music you want on your iPhone has been properly synced to your iPhone. 
    Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
