Itunes 7 won't show songs when Ipod is plugged in.

I used to just plug in my ipod on the old Itunes, click on the "manage manually" button and be able to look at and play (through my computer) all of the songs on my IPOD (My home computer is a separate laptop)
So I downloaded Itunes 7 and when I plug in my IPOD, I can still play songs on my ipod, but that new "ipod summary-version-options" screen is up and I can't get rid of it to see the songs on my IPOD. I can still play the songs, but I can't cycle through the library or pick and specific ones.
Its probably something simple but does any know how to fix this?
thanks

click the little triangle next to the ipod in the source list. when that is pointing down, you'll see "Music" and a list of playlists on the ipod. click on one of those to show the contents of the ipod, or the contents of a playlist on the ipod.

Help new itunes upgrade won't open even when ipod is plugged in

Ok so evey time I click on the itunes icon in my start menu or plug in my ipod my computer makes that thinking noise they usually make when opening something and then nothing happens. I've also tried going into the itunes folder and clicking on files there and putting a cd in at which point no announcement comes up anymore asking me what I want the computer to do with it.
I don't know what to do and it's really frustrating! Please if anyone can help that would be hugely appreciated.

+I upgraded and now iTunes does not appear to open at all. The problem is error message free, like the original poster the outcome is the same if I use the icons on my desktop/start menu or click on the exe in the program folder. When I view the task manager it does not appear on the applications tab but Itunes.exe is a process on the process tab which can not be terminated (again with no error messages).+
That "itunes.exe process that will not die" is a familiar symptom ... What make and model of firewall are you running? Is it *Norton Internet Security 2005* by any chance?
I also just upgraded, itunes does not run, itunes.exe process comes up. I can end it though. Quicktime works, I also tried the 7.2 downgrade for quicktime also. I just uninstalled mcaffee, and also tried the msconfig troubleshooting, still no dice. I want the new ipod touch update, but I cant get it.

Intel iMac won't boot up when iPod is plugged into USB port.

I have a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAM and 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Purchased new from Apple in January 2007. Running Mac OS X 10.4.10. Purchased a new 80 GB video iPod (v1.2.1) from Best Buy in June. Computer stopped rebooting soon after. I began by deleting preferences of various kinds with no luck. I've reset the P RAM, the System Power Manager or whatever ya call it. I've even done an Archive Install of the Mac OS. Yet every time I try an' reboot with the iPod plugged into the USB port I get the start-up chime then the gray screen and that's it. No gray Apple, no log-in window. I shut it down, unplug the iPod and it starts right up. Please, I'm beggin' ya. I don't want to have to wipe the hard drive and start from scratch. Any suggestions?
Thanks....

ABStrange -- the apple tech believes that the iMAC is trying to boot from the iPOD which is causing the hanging. Interestingly, if you wipe the iPOD clean, it will work flawlessly. The minute you put one song back on the iPOD it will hang again. Hopefully on Monday or Tuesday I'll hear something back. I'll let you know what I find out. I did mention this thread on the forum to the apple tech. Hopefully they take this seriously. Maybe it is a serious enough flaw with our iPODs that will warrant a replacement?
BTW: I upgraded to Leopard yesterday and the problem still exists. Was kind of curious to see if that had any effect.

ITunes won't show the CD in the library and won't show song titles

Finally, after about 6 hours I was able to download the new version of iTunes for my daughter's Nano. Now when we load a CD ready to import into iTunes it won't show up in the music library column at all. I had the old iTunes for an iPod mini on another computer - all I did was put the CD in the drive then iTunes would read the song titles and show the CD in the library column, then I'd import and all was good. This version will not show the CD in the library column, I have looked at advanced preferences but can't find out what's going wrong. Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help? This is very frustrating!!!! I'm supposed to be on holiday and relaxing!!! Happy new year to all you fellow Nano haters!

Are the CD's you are trying to install store bought CD's?
What you might try doing if the CD drive is not showing up under the source is going to file and then clicking on Add to Library within iTunes. Find the CD inside of My Computer and trying to add the music.

Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

Warning to iPhone users. Do not start the update of the iPhone software using iTunes.
Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

Delete the songs with no artwork on your iPad and resync your music from iTunes on your computer.

Itunes freezing when Ipod Classic plugged in

When I plug in my ipod classic 80 gb,itunes freezes (cannot click or play anything) and an error message shows up.
"There is a problem with this drive. Scan the dvice now to fix". Tried that and it doesn't work. It also says my ipod is not responding.
The newest version of itunes is installed and our computer is windows 8.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at lots of other discussions but nothing has helped my problem.
Thanks!

I have the same problem: if I load iTunes for a second time and my iPod is plugged in the iTunes app and the system menus (top right corner of screen) freeze up.
Unplugging and plugging in the iPod seems un-freeze everything for me.

Some of my smart playlist's won't show on my ipod?

I use several smart playlist's to collect different types of news to listen to on the go. Most playlists work great. I made a new playlist recently and it won't show on my ipod classic. Any ideas?

Are these smart playlists configured to sync to your iPod? Double check your sync settings for your iPod via iTunes.

My iTunes card won't redeem and when I try to it comes up with this "The gift certificate or prepaid card code you entered has not been properly activated. Please contact iTunes Store costumer support for assistance" can anyone help me?

Is the store that you bought the card from nearby so that you can try going back and asking if they can activate the card properly ? If it's not, or if they can't/won't activate, then you will need to do as the message says and contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt)

Images won't show up when I try to upload online

Hi
I need help to figure out why my photos won't show up when I try to upload them online (e.g. Facebook, Pinterest, Google+). All of my photos are in iPhoto and it used to work fine until I updated to ver 9.3 a coupe of days ago. When I open iPhoto, it shows all the images but when I try to upload something, I couldn't find my photos so I end up copying them to my desktop first which is very inconvenient, especially if I am uploading severa photos. It works alright when I attach photos in Outlook though, so I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks a lot!
PS I did some screen shots if that would help explain things better. By the way, my OS version is 10.7.4, if that is relevant at all?
This is my iPhoto right now.
This is how it looks like when I open Photo Browser or attach an image to an email via Outlook.
This is what it looks like when I try to upload images on to Facebook, Google+, Tumblr, etc.

Where did you get the phone?
If you see an ICCID unknown in Settings>General>About, that indicates a catastrophic failure. Very often this is caused by hacking or jailbreaking the phone. It can not be fixed. The phone will have to be replaced.

ITunes crashing when iPod is plugged in, works when iPod is disconnected

Like the title says, iTunes 8 is crashing for me when my iPod is plugged in, but it's working fine when the iPod isn't plugged in.
Earlier today, I upgraded to iTunes 8 and also downloaded the iPod touch update (2.1). I didn't have time for it to install though because I was going to be late for class, so I left the iPod connected, shut the laptop and brought it with me to class. I opened it up when I got there, to see if the installation process would continue, but it didn't... so I did a force quit.
My iPod still works fine, but my iTunes doesn't. I don't know if it was because I did the force quit that made iTunes sucky, but either way, I've tried a bunch of things to fix it.
1. Reinstall
2. Disable Last.fm plugin (crash report window said that it could be causing it the crashing)
3. Reboot into safe mode and reinstall
and there's probably more things I did to try to fix the problem but they didn't work.
Sooo...
Can anyone help?
Thanks much!

HT1689 The iTunes Store won't open on my iPod, what happened?

My iTunes Store won't open. When it is clicked, it just flashes back to the home screen. I restarted it and turned it off and back on, but nothing helped. This all started after I upgraded to iOS 7.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
