Ipod touch not showing any songs but playlists work.

Ipod Touch 4th Gen.
For a while now, when I went to "Songs" it showed "No Songs", even though playlists still worked, and songs showed on the computer when I synced. If I pressed for "Albums" or "Artists" they would show briefly and then kick me out to the main icon menu screen. Following guidance elsewhere, I went into settings and changed the language, then went into music, then back to settings and changed back to English. For some wierd reason this has worked to restore songs and artists, but when I try to access the album menu I'm kicked straight back to the main icon screen.
Anyone have any idea what's happening here and how I can access the Album menu again?

  • Ipod does not show my songs, neither does Itunes but says there is 10gigs

    My ipod or my itunes does not show my songs, but they both say i have 10 gigs on the ipod.. any ideas what is going wrong and how i can fix it?

    Try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

    My iPod is not showing any of my music in its library. I can only listen to and see my music when the iPod is plugged into the computer. Even when its plugged in my Ipod says there is no music in the library but iTunes says its all on there. Any suggestions on what the problem may be?

    Safari 8.0.2 does not play any sound (but sound works in other apps).

    Hi Michaelgst,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you do not hear sound from Safari on your computer but you do hear sound in other applications. There may be several troubleshooting steps I would suggest to troubleshoot this situation. 
    The first troubleshooting steps I would recommend would be removing any unsupported third-party add-ons. Please use the information and instructions located in the attached article to complete this process. 
    Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues - Apple Support

  • 80GB ipod Classic not showing any Music loaded on it

    I have an 80GB Classic Model No A1238. Suddenly the ipod has stopped showing any playlist or music that was there on it. But the ipod shows 56.4gb used and 17.9GB Free which means it still has the data but in the summary it shows Songs 0, Videos 0, Podcast 0 etc... How can i recover the music and make it appear ? Will i have to restore the ipod or there is a way recover ? Please help.

    Sounds like the iPod's file system and databases have been corrupted possibly due to a damaged/failing hard drive or failed sync operating with iTunes.  So yes, the only way to try and recover is to restore the iPod to factory settings.

  • IPod Touch not showing up on an iBook G4

    I am trying to get an iPod Touch connected to my sister in laws iBook G4. It is running system 10.5.8 and iTunes 9.0.2. When I connect her iPod iPhoto opens and it looks to sync photos. I have to manually open iTunes but it won't see the iPod. I tried her iPod on my Macs and my Macs see it. I am really at a loss and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Rich

    You can disable the autostart of iphoto here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1501

  • Ipod touch not showing in iTunes

    Anyone help?
    On an imac with 10.6.1 Mac OS and iTunes 9.1.1
    Recently the HDD failed and Apple replaced, but since then ipod touch not recognized in iTunes.
    Have followed all the steps in the support document for resetting, rebooting, reinstalling etc. and ipod touch is recognized the first time after following this process, but then after that when I boot up my mac and iTunes a second time, it stops being recognized again. I cannot reinstall iTunes every time I want to sync my ipod touch!!! Anyone else had similar issues and solved?
    Thanks

    I am having a similar issue. I have a 1st-generation iPod touch, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3) and iTunes 9.1.1. It's a bit old now and the WiFi isn't very good, but my iPod touch still works perfectly, except that it doesn't show up in iTunes, which I discovered yesterday when I tried to sync some new music. I got my iTouch G1 the first week they came out and it worked perfectly with my iBook G4 running Tiger, and also worked perfectly with my new MacBook running Leopard which replaced the iBook when its logic board bit the dust. I recently updated to Snow Leopard (about a month ago now), and now my iTouch doesn't show up in my iTunes sidebar, but a volume shows up in Disk Utility that could only be this iPod and things do happen when I plug in the iPod (the first time I connected it since I added some Snow to my Leopard, iPhoto opened and prompted a download of a screenshot I'd taken with the iPod). I'm mostly writing this right now because the support page pertinent to this issue is down due to some sort of Apple web maintenance and I'm tired of getting the same error message. I actually have everything on my Mac backed up, and when I installed Snow Leopard I just did a basic installation but have been thinking of going back and doing a clean wipe and install and then getting the iTunes and iPhoto libraries et cetera off of my external HD. Would this fix my problem? I figure that since my iPod touch's files and system have been constant throughout this, it must be some issue with Snow Leopard, however before I wipe everything and have to set my system up again from scratch, I would like to know if this problem would be fixed by doing that or if there is some problem inherent in Snow Leopard that needs to be manually fixed.

  • HT4314 I have an IPhone an IPad1 and and IPod.  The game center on the IPod will not show any of the games.  Can anyone help with this?

    I have an IPod touch 4.2 and the game center is not showing any of the games.   My Ipad1 and IPhone are running from the same account and both work great. Any suggestions how I might solve this?  Thank u

    I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
    If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).  You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process.  Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone.  Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

  • Ipod Touch Not Showing as a Device

    I just received a new Ipod Touch and am just playing around with it a bit to see what it can do.
    When I look at Vista Explorer and check the devices attached to my desktop PC, it is not showing the Ipod attached via one of the USB 2 hubs. I know the computer is seeing the Ipod, because as soon as I plug it in, itunes is activated on the desktop. Shouldn't I see the Ipod as a device attached to the PC?
    A second question kind of related to the first. Can I download apps, music, etc., to my PC and then transfer them over to the Ipod, without downloading directly to the Ipod? Reason I'm asking this, is that I'm having a bit of a problem connecting to my password-secured home network. The relation to the first question, is if I can't see the Ipod on the PC can I do such a transfer, or is that all done through itunes.
    Thanks in advance for any help to a newbie.

    the ipod touch doesn't work in quite the same way other ipods do, it doesn't allow you to see it (or use it) as an external drive (like you would with a USB stick or something else you've plugged into your PC)
    the only time the iPod touch will show up in windows explorer is when there are 'Saved Photos' on it. Photos which have been obtained on the iPod touch, either via screenshots (hold the home button and the power button at the same time to get a screenshot), from safari (when browsing the internet, hold your finger on a picture to bring up an option to save it), or from emails. then you will be able to access the ipod in windows explorer in order to access these photos and move them to your PC.
    yes, you can download music etc. to your PC first. this is how it was done before they invented wireless! (and actually the wi-fi itunes store is still fairly basic and limited). just go into the itunes store (there should be a link to it on the left hand side of your itunes screen) and download to your heart's (and bank accounts) content.
    then you just sync them to your ipod, like presumably you have already done with the music you've put into itunes from your CDs.

  • Why wont my ipod touch not show up my compter or itunes?? help, why wont my ipod touch not show up my compter or itunes?? help

         Did you buy your iPod Touch from a friend? If so it is very likely that the prior owner had jailbroken the iPod Touch without telling you. Try ensuring that you have the most up-to-date version of iTunes. Next try to plug in your iPod to your computer by way of usb cord. Then open iTunes and check whether your iPod is recognized. If it isn't recognized try navigating to "My Computer" under start and check whether your iPod appears as a removable device. If your iPod Touch is still not present then try putting your iPod Touch in DFU Mode and attempt to restore it.
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    Placing your device into recovery mode
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
         If all else fails please demand your money back from whoever sold you this iPod Touch.

  • Aging in Ar not showing any transaction but its showing all the payments

    Hi can anyone help in regard of this problem
    when i am going to run 7bucket aging report in AR it doesn't showing any transaction but it shows only receipts.
    even the transaction is due i don't know why its not showing any transaction

    Regards

    I am suspecting the Transaction is not stamped with Legal entity, since you mention you have recently upgraded to r12.
    Just see the comment section at the end of this page, it will give you some idea about legal entity consideration for transaction.

    Check the status of all transactions, are they posted to GL. This cann't be a case..as receipt you are getting.
