Ipod songs don't show up on my work computer

I have 60gb ipod I bought last month. I put a bunch of music on it on my home computer, and wanted to add songs to it at work. When I connect the ipod to my work comp., it doesn't find any of the songs on there, despite my manual update setting. Any idea how to access the songs (they are on the ipod when i unplug it, so they're not gone)?
Both comps are using XP

Automatic syncing is controlled (set up by the user) using the iPod's Music tab.  Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right (near the top), there is a row of "tabs" (they look like buttons in the latest iTunes), that starts with Summary.  Click on Music there.
Make sure Sync Music is checked.  Below that, you tell iTunes how you want your iPod synced with music.  If your entire iTunes music library will fit on the iPod, you can select Entire music library.  Then, any change to your library (such as purchasing new songs from the iTunes Store) should automatically sync to the iPod. 
Otherwise, if the entire library will not fit or you don't want to fill up the iPod with only songs, you need to set up syncing based on Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that setting, set up the rest of the Music tab to tell iTunes what playlists, artists, albums, or genres to sync.  Only the songs included in your selection will sync to the iPod, so if you purchased new songs, they will not sync to the iPod unless thay are included in the selection on the Music tab. 
One easy way to set it up is to create a new playlist in iTunes, and call it something like "iPod songs."  From your music library, add ALL the songs you want on the iPod to this playlist (including those new songs).  On the iPod's Music tab, select this playlist for syncing.  Going forward, any change you make to this playlist (adding or removing songs) will sync to the iPod automatically when it is connected and you tell it to Sync.
You can also set up the other tabs, such as Movies and Podcasts (and Apps for an iPod touch), to set up syncing for those other categories of media.  Just make sure the total size of the selection is less than the capacity of the iPod (shown on the "bar" near the bottom).
All of the above has not changed for the latest version if iTunes.  It works the same as before...

  • IPod Songs Don't Show Up in iTunes After iTunes 6.0.2 "Upgrade"

    After installing iLife '06, and the iTunes 6.0.2 "upgrade" that came with it, the contents of my 4th Gen. 40 Gb iPod don't show up in iTunes. The iPod mounts on the Desktop OK, and even shows up in the Source list in iTunes 6.0.2. And I can unmount the iPod by clicking on the little up arrow icon in iTunes. But iTunes reports only 919.2 Mb used and 36.33 Gb free in the iPod.
    I tried copying a song from my iTunes Library to the iPod, and it showed up in iTunes. But when I unmounted, then remounted, the iPod, it no longer showed in iTunes. It was on the iPod, however.
    I tried upgrading to the latest iPod software (iPod Updater 2006-01-10) but that didn't help.
    I ran Software Update and it didn't find any software that needed updating.
    I repaired disk permissions and Shutdown, then powered back up and restarted. Nada.
    The iPod mounts fine on my G4 AlBook running iTunes 4.9, and the contents of the iPod are also visible in iTunes 4.9, so I'm pretty sure it's not a problem on the iPod.
    Don't know if it matters, but all of the music on my Mac and on the iPod was ripped by iTunes from CDs (that I own).
    Anybody else seeing this?
    Is there a fix?
    TIA,

    We're trying to force iTunes to rebuild properly.
    With iTunes not running. Make a copy of the library database file (iTunes Library).
    Try deleting the iTunes Library file. Start iTunes. Does this then show the missing tracks? To get the original playlists back you can import from the original xml file that you saved.
    If you need to get back to the start point just delete the newly created database and .xml files and go back to the originals.

  • Some songs don't show up on iPod, but they are there

    I have an 80GB iPod classic. I have all my songs in iTunes, and I have manually synced them to my iPod. When I view my iPod through iTunes, I can see all the songs and play them. However, when I look on my iPod directly, some songs don't show up when I browse by Artist, Song, etc.
    The only way to play them on my iPod is to add them to a Playlist, and then they are accessible. However, if I want to listen to Eminem, for instance, I want to just browse to it in the Artist area.
    The songs do have all of the appropriate info, and I have tried Restore and still nothing. These songs used to show up on my old, original iPod, so I am for a complete loss. Please help!

    This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

  • Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself.  However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?

    that is odd! that should not be happening.
    Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

  • Songs don't show up in artist menu, but show up in playlists

    Well recently I've had a problem where songs I've added (from a program that takes songs off internet radio) do not show up when I go to the Artists menu and click on an artist. However, they do show up in my Recently Added playlist. Can anyone give me some help on this? Thanks if you can.

    See: Some songs don't show under artist on my iPod.
    Once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.

  • I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually.

    I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually since I have a iTouch and keep all my music there. HELP!!

    Have you tried deleting the songs from Settings?
    Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage (not the iCloud link!) -> Music and then click Edit to enable you to be able to delete.

  • I purchased iCould recently, but all my songs don't show up.  I updated iTunes Match and turned it on, but they're not there.

    I purchased iCould recently, but all my songs don't show up.  I updated iTunes Match and turned it on, but they're not there.

    I still cannot see all the music; some I downloaded and some I purchased.  For example, I downloaded two CDs by The Band Perry; one is on iTunes and one isn't.  I purchased iTunes Match before I changed computers so I could transfer it all to my new machine without have to load CDs again.  I also purchased some songs that are no longer there.
    I looked at the article you referenced and have completed all the recommended steps.  I have authorized this computer and updated iTunes match.  Is there any way to recover the music I downloaded, as well as purchases I made? (I purchased Viva la Vida by Coldplay and it's not on my iTunes.  There may be others, but I haven't noticed any others specifically.)
    Very frustrated....any help is appreciated

  • My purchased songs don't show up on my iPod

    I have one of the first generation iPod Touch.  I've purchased songs and they show up on my music in iTunes but even after synching they don't show up on my device.  Can't figure out how to get them there.  Any ideas?  Since Apple change the version of iTunes I can't figure out how to synch after i buy something so usually end up disconnecting my device, reattaching to my computer and then it synchs.  Apple support have been absolutely of no assistance.

  • Some songs don't show up on my iPod at all.

    And other songs show up, but only in the song section, not the artist section...I'm thinking this MAY have something to do with faulty id3 tags, but I'm stumped as to how to fix it. Please help shed some light on my problem, thanks.

  • When I try putting songs from itunes on my ipod, they don't show up

    It doesn't acknowledge that I put them on, and when I try to sync it it still doesn't have them on.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Some songs don't show up on the playlist after syncing

    All of the songs on the playlist show up on my iPhone. But they just aren't in the playlists. It seems like it's the older songs I had before I transfered everything onto my new computer that are getting left off. All the songs are checked and play fine on the computer.

  • Songs don't show up in Library after a drag and drop

    I want to put some music on my daughters networked imac.
    ( right now we have her music 'shared' across the network) I want her to have more control of her music so she can make playlists etc (she is getting a nano unbeknownst to her )
    When I drop mp3 files into her iTunes folder they don't show in her library.
    Am I going about this the wrong way??

    Now I see the problem. I did not read your first post thoroughly enough.
    You already wrote they show up in the iTunes folder.
    iTunes doesn't recognize songs that are added this way.
    The most convenient way would be to copy the files to a folder on the desktop and after you're done, to drop that folder on the Library icon or the Library in iTunes.
    If 'Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library' in Preferences>Advanced>General is checked, iTunes will copy those files to the proper place.
    Afterwards you can trash the contents of the folder on the desktop.

  • ITunes Plus   Old songs don't show up for upgrades

    I occasionally stumble across previously purchased songs, for example "Time of the Season" by the Zombies, which are now in the plus format. They don't show up in the "Upgrade My Library" area in the store.
    There are also lots of cases where old cuts have slightly different listings and don't match up to what's in my library.
    Is there anyway to get Apple to allow me to upgrade to the Plus versions of these songs?

    "Note that the track usually will have to be the exact same version"
    Ever since iTunes began, there have been problems where the person ripping the music isn't very accurate as to the MP3 tags, and later the titles themselves.
    For example (just making this one up) "Yellow Submarine", 3minutes, Beatles Yellow Submarine can change to "Yellow Submarine", 3 minutes, THE Beatles.... and then it won't show up as a match.
    You will find LOTS of these examples if you search on titles you bought more than a year ago, and even though the song is there, it will say "no longer available" just because someone typed the title differently.
