IPod won't show bought music video

Hello, I recently bought a music video (first time) but it won't show up in my video list. I found it in my song list but it only shows the album cover, not the video. I played around with iTunes but I can't get the music video to appear under 'Music Videos,' a playlist that had already been created on my iPod before I added my music. Can someone help me?

Hey there,
Does the music video play OK in iTunes? If so, try removing the video from your iPod and then resyncing it to see if that helps. It may just not have synced properly from iTunes to your iPod.

  • IPod main screen shows "No Music" even though...

    My ipod main screen shows "No Music", "No Videos" "No Pictures" etc... and when I click on music, for example, it shows no bands, no nothing. BUT when I go to settings it shows I have 67.6 GB free space. meaning I have around 53 GB of files on my ipod (It's a classic 120G ipod). I've tried restarting it, and it didn't help. I think if I restore default settings I'd lose all the files. Has anyone experienced this? Can anyone help? I'm desperate! They're in there somewhere.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync (from your description it is not clear you did that)
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • 20g ipod won't show on computer

    my ipod won't show up on my computer anywhere, it is making wierd hard drive noise, can someone please help me.

    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“Partition Magic”.
    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”
    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning ! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level

    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery replacement (with pictures)
    http://www.kokopellimusic.us/KM_instructions.htm
    Have I tried this myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

  • Triangle by iPod won't show up...at all.

    The disclosure triangle that is supposed to be to the left of the name of my iPod won't show up at all. It did once and that is it. I have restarted and restarted, unplugged and replugged, logged-in and logged-out, and exited iTunes numerous times and I can't get the arrow to show up. It is a pain and I was hoping that someone has experienced this before and can give me some suggestions. I'm relatively new to iPod/iTunes and I am just very frustrated and would like to manually put songs on my iPod but w/out the triangle to the left...I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance!
    Dell Inspiron 9100   Windows XP  

    I do have music on my iPod. When I first plugged it in it automatically put music on it. Then when the triangle appeared I could get to the summary tab and selected the manually sync music...and then I deleted some music I didn't want on it and ever since...no triangle. I can't even get to the summary tab w/out the triangle..can I? Thanks for your help...but I'm not sure the problem has been solved...

    iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
    iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
    If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
    1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
    +Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
    5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
    6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
    7. Close "Computer Management"
    8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
    9. Reconnect your iPod.
    Does your iPod show up in iTunes?

  • My iPod won't show up in iTunes but it does in my pc, isn't iTunes problem!

    My iPod won't show up in iTunes, but it does in My Pc. And I want to say that is not an iTunes problen, cause I have an iPod nano, and it works perfect with iTunes and with windows. My iPod won't show up in any computer at all, so I have read all the articles here in Support, and none of them give me a solution. I need to restore my iPod but I can't cause doesn't appear in the source list in iTunes. Do I have to send it to Technical Support? Please Help Me someone, cause I've been posting messages for one week now, and I haven't got an answer!! Pleaseee!!

    You can try putting it into disk mode to see if it makes it easier on iTunes to recognize it.
    To put your iPod into disk mode:
    1) make sure your hold switch is OFF (NO ORANGE SHOWING)
    2) hold the menu button and the center button at the same time for about 6-10 seconds until you see an apple logo
    3) AS SOON AS you see the apple logo, release the two buttons and hold down center and play/pause
    4) If you've done this properly you should now see Disk Mode Ok To Disconnect with a checkmark (when connected to your computer you should see Do Not Disconnect with Disk Mode at the top)
    After you have the iPod in disk mode...see if iTunes picks it up then.
    Keep me update.

  • Changing TV Show to Music Video in Video Kind:

    Hey all,
    In Video Kind when you get info on a video under the Video tab, there is a drop down menu where you can change the type of video. I want to change a TV Show to Music Video, but the drop down is not allowing me to, it is grayed out. I am assuming there is a way to do it, since it's there. So, if anyone out there in MacLand could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
    Thanks,
    Bernie

    When you buy a video from iTunes, it will be in "Protected MPEG-4 video file" format. Since it is "protected", you can't reformat it.
    For tracks, you can convert them to unprotected MP3 format by burning them to an audio CD, then ripping them back to iTunes. However, It is not the same for videos. When I burned my TV-Shows to video DVD, and ripped them back to iTunes, the protected format does not change.
    If I find anything special program that can convert the videos into non-protected format so that you can edit them, I'll let you now ASAP

I have an Ipod nano that connects to my eMac and use to connect to my PB G3. All of a sudden my Ipod won't show up on the PB. I have tried resetting numerous times, I have downloaded the Ipod updater, but if it doesn't see it it doesn't do any good. I have put the Ipod in disk mode and that doesn't help any, I have tried finding it in disk utility and it still isn't there. I can't restore since the PB doesn't see it and restarting the computer doesn't help. I'm probably just driving myself crazy because it still works fine on the desktop but I am no always at the desktop.

  • IPod won't show up - firewire dead?

    My iPod won't show up on my Power Mac G4. Not it iTunes or in Finder. It does charge though. I had a M-Audio FireWire 410 that I unplugged while PM was running. Since then my FireWire devices won't show up in the computer.
    How can I find out if my firewire ports are dead?

    Here's my offering:
    Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
    First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
    Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
    If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.3.9 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
    If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
    For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good!
    Good Luck!
    Cheers!

  • IPod won't show up on itunes or mac, freezes, and doesn't play bought songs

    Okay i have four issues with my iPod
    1. It won't show up on iTunes or on Mac desktop
    2. When i plug it into the USB port it freezes and say 'Do Not Disconnect'. It will not come out of this
    3. Every single song i have bought won't play on my iPod. They transfer fine, but when i click on a bought song it simply skips over it
    4. I authorized this computer but songs still need authorizing, and i have already authorized them
    So we bought a new Mac and i plugged in my 30 GB video iPod for the first time. It showed up in iTunes then so i synced it to our new computer. Then i tried to listen to my bought songs and they simply wouldn't play. The iPod just skipped over them. I had one song out of three hundred or so that were bought actually play. Then i tried reauthorizing my new computer and getting rid of all the old computers that had been authorized. That didn't work, and the songs that actually needed to be authorized wouldn't be authorized even when i clicked on them.
    So then i unplug and just listen to it as is for awhile but then i try plugging it in again and it just doesnt show up on my Mac desktop or iTunes. And the screen becomes frozen with the same message, 'Do Not Disconnect' I wait for a half an hour for it to show up and it never does. I have no choice to unplug it and then it is still frozen with that same message. Five hours pass, and it is still like that. It finally goes off and then it simply doesnt work. So i plug it in to my charger and its fine except the whole not playing bought songs business.
    Please i beg if you have any answers to any of these problems HELP!!!!!

    Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • 30G video iPod won't show on desktop or in iTunes

    Powerbook G4, 10.4.8, iTunes 7.0.1
    30G Video iPod, connected by USB cable -- oh so frustrated! Big trip coming up and can't put any of my audible books on my iPod!
    This seems to have started after I upgraded iTunes to 7.0, is this source of my problem?
    Suddenly I plugged in my iPod and it won't show up on the desktop, iTunes or Disk Utility
    Things I've tried:
    Reset iPod, (can't restore the iPod, since no application or utility will recognize it), did all upgrades to iTunes, unplugged all usb ports, repaired all permissions, tried plugging it into another Mac G5 and it wouldn't show up there either.
    It plugs into my power source from the electrical outlet and is fully charged, and plugs into my car radio via a monster cable just fine, just won't connect to a computer.
    Please, I'll try anything. Thanks so much for your help.

  • I've just bought an 80gb iPod and need help with music videos.....

    ...I've downloaded a music video which iTunes has put in my library under Music when I thought it would be under Movies. I can't move it to Movies, it won't let me. I can only transfer it to my iPod as a music file. How do get to watch it on my iPod?
    Thanks
    Andy

    I suggest copying your entire iTunes library to your new computer, also you might want to copy the photos you want to save. Then sync your device to the new iTunes and copy over your music, documents and photos that you want.
    If you are no longer going to use the old computer you should open up iTunes on the old computer and use the menu to deauthorize it. Be sure to use the same iTunes menu on your new computer to Authorize the new one.
