Itunes playlists no longer showing up in my 5th Gen 80GB ipod

Ok, my ipod 5th Gen 80GB ipod works fine, all of my music is in there, and I can successfully sync with the latest version of itunes. The problem is: I can see my playlists in itunes on my laptop, I can sync my ipod successfully, but the playlists do not show up on my ipod. I have already tried resetting my ipod and restarting my computer.
I'm stumped on this one

Hello steelydan0613,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How do you have your iPod set up to sync music? Manually or automatically? If you sync automatically, how do you have your iPod set up to sync music from under its Music tab in iTunes? You may want to double check these settings.

5th Gen 80gb iPod wont sync tv shows/podcasts

Hey I have looked at most of the solutions on how to sync tv shows and podcasts and I assure you that all of the necesary boxes are checked and the settings are correct. I bought this as a refurb and do not have a warranty. Can anyone help me figure out how to put the season of the office i bought from itunes onto my ipod? i have newest version of itunes and tried to restore as well. Thank you!

Hey there,
Have you made sure you have set your iPod to sync TV Shows? To be sure, plug your iPod in and head over to the TV Shows tab once it appears and you have clicked on its device name in iTunes. Make sure there is a check mark next to Sync and then whatever settings you want for syncing tv shows to your iPod.

Otherwise, if you have already completed these steps, the videos may not be compatible with your iPod. You will have to use a third party app such as [Videora|http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod> or [Handbrake|http://handbrake.fr>, to convert the videos to an iPod format, import the video into iTunes, and sync it to your iPod. I have used both of these apps with great success. Hope this helps.

My playlists no longer show up on iPhone 4s or Mac TV.

My playlists no longer show up on iPhone 4s or Mac TV.
I'm only syncing, physically, from my desktop. I don't use iTunes Match.
This seems to me a recent problem for me.

Hello Yeit,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like neither your phone nor Apple TV 1st gen are getting the playlists synced to them from iTunes.
If that is the case then I do not think the issues would be to do with either of the devices themselves, so we should look at the iTunes library itself.
First I would check to see if the checkboxes to sync your playlists are checked in the Music tab of your device when it is selected in iTunes.
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and click the device button in the upper right corner. (If you are viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.) Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
You can configure the different content types in each tab. For example, Movies under the Movies tab.
To sync, click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen.

If so they are all checked, I would next restart the computer, Apple TV, and iPhone and try again.
If the issue persists next I would recreate your iTunes library.

I have an old shuffle that holds all my favourite songs. How do I transfer these to my iPhone. My original iTunes playlists no longer exist

Basically, no, but as long as all the music is in the same iTunes library and it doesn't contain protected content from more than five Apple IDs, you don't need to. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

The iTunes Store listing of your podcast is simply reflecting the contents of your podcast feed. Make sure all of the content you want displayed in the iTunes Store is still contained within your feed.
Are you able to supply your feed for reference?

HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
The Apple store will do this for you, you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

5th gen 60GB iPod takes for ever to bee seen by iTunes and Windows XP

Can anyone help me??
let me start by saying that I have tried the 5 R's and still nothing!
when i conect the ipod I hear the the sound the pc makes when you plug in a divice, but I will not see the ipod in "My Computer". maybe 15 min later itunes comes on and it starts syncing my iPod but then after about 100 songs it stops and says: "the disk can not be syncronized because it can not be read or written to" and the few songs that were synced, do work!! if I try again it will sync another 200 or so songs and stops again with the same message. SOMETIMES when I connect the ipod, iTunes will not see the software version or the serial number and continue to sync anyways.
after itunes tells me that it can not read or write the iPod it ejects it and it is no longer seen in MY COMPUTER either. PLEASE HELP

See if any of these articles help.
Windows XP cannot detect an iPod.
USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.
iTunes 7 doesn't recognize the iPod.
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod
Disk cannot be read from or written to error syncing iPod in iTunes.

My songs on itunes will not upload on to my new 5th generation touch ipod

The songs I got off from youtube and converted on to itunes will not upload on to my new 5th generation i-pod? The message says that itunes can't find the songs. I have 387 songs from youtube and I don't want to have to convert them again.

The message means what it says. iTunes can't find the actual music files. You can confirm that by trying to play the songs in iTunes on the computer.

- Next reimport them

Is it possible to estimate how long battery will last in 5th Gen Nano based on playing time?

I just got a 5th gen ipod nano. It looks like it was never used. I tested the ipod as Apple suggests --It charges enough to play for 13 hours, not 24. Is it possible to estimate how long the battery will last from this point? Does the ability of the battery to take a charge fall off gradually, or is it a quick process? Thanks.

My ipod and itunes is no longer showing the music videos i purchased..

im pretty new with ipods and my ipod and itunes arent showing the two music videos i had on there. Even the songs that went with the music videos are no longer on the itunes or my ipod. how do i fix this?
60 gb video Windows XP

- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
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
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

CDs imported to iTunes are no longer showing up in my library

I imported several CDs to my iTunes library a while ago and it all worked fine, they showed up both on my computer and on my devices. Recently however, all of the songs I imported (over the course of several years) have disappeared. Any suggestions on where to find them? A lot of these are songs I listen to a lot and I don't know where all the CDs are since they've been in my library for so long so I would really like to have them back.
Thank you!

ITunes playlists won't show on IPhone4s

I've got a new IPhone 4s. But now when I sync with I Tunes on my MacPro....the play lists only show a few songs in each playlist.
Example I have 30 songs in one playlist in ITunes....everything is checked and everything plays just fine.
But after syncing via a cable...Only 4 songs show up on my IPhone4s. I talked with someone at Apple and they said they know there has been an occasional complaint of this happening... They said that the engineers are working on it..
Does anyone know of a work around to get my music onto my IPhone......maybe importing the ITunes music folder in some other form?
Thanks
Rich

What type of iPod do you have? Currently only the iPod classic and the new nanos support the folder structure on the iPod that will allow you to create playlists with a playlist.
Older iPods (and you are posting in the forum for older iPods, hence my question) do not support this and only show playlists as lists of songs even though iTunes allows you to create folders.

ITunes playlists no longer sync with iPod!

I just made a new playlist and it won't sync with my iPod. I see it on iTunes, but I have synced multiple times with my iPod since then, and it is not appearing on my iPod.
I have multiple prior playlists that I synced last year with no problem. The only change I can think of is that I recently updated iTunes to 8.0.
Any ideas out there?

I noticed that the same topic was posted in September as an iPhone issue. The discussion also centered around smart playlists. Although a few workarounds were posted, mostly involving changing the podcast genre to "Music" from "Podcast", I have not been able to sync these playlists.
I want to simply create a playlist with podcasts and sync these playlists to my ipod Touch. This is handy, if not essential, for safe enjoyment of my podcasts while driving.
Is Apple considering a fix for this ?! Or is there a workaround ?
