Itunes sees ipod, but doesn't see songs in ipod

Hi there!
I've updated itunes, updated and reset the ipod twice. Problem is that when I plug in the ipod, itunes will come up and it sees my ipod, but it won't show any of the content. If I drag songs from my library into my ipod icon, it will make like they're copying over, but when the ipod is disconnected i find that the songs haven't transferred.
In short: itunes opens, recognizes my ipod by name, but wont' show the content, and won't allow new content to move to the ipod.
It has worked before -- in fact, I have 10 gigs of mp3's on the ipod. I just can't get any more on (it's a new 30 gig ipod).
I appreciate any help you might give!
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem! Any solutions?

ITunes detects iPod...but doesn't put songs on iPod??

The songs won't update on my iPod...I googled and it said theres somewhere in iTunes where I can check "Automatically update songs on my iPod"....but I can't find it? Help?

Yes, I meant to post back earlier. Here's something else that we can try:
Under "Music" deselect the "Sync" option so as to manually manage your iPod's content, then click on the "Apply" button in the right-corner of the iTunes screen to save your changes.
Now, eject/disconnect your iPod from your computer.
Connect it again, and check to make sure that your changes were saved, then select the "Sync" option again (and deselect "Manually manage songs and videos" under the "Summary" tab), and click Apply.
Click on "Sync iPod" from the File menu if iTunes doesn't begin to start automatically syncing with your iPod.
After iTunes has auto synced all of the content to your iPod, be sure to eject your iPod from your computer if the iPod still says "Do Not Disconnect" after it has completed with syncing (that's usually because Disk Use is enabled). Then, disconnect it, and see if the music has sucessfully synced to the iPod or not.

Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs.

That really does not work since music is not included in the backup. See:
iTunes: About iOS backups

IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs

iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?

If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
Then restore your iPod to factory settings.

I currently have a mini ipod but hubby is buying me a ipod touch for my birthday soon. Will I be able to use my current itunes library and transfer all my songs to the ipod touch? Or can I only have one ipod attached to the library?

You can transfer all your songs.

My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder

My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder and I can't get it to sync with iCal. Any ideas? I've had trouble in the past with cameras and other devices not showing up in Finder and I don't know what is wrong! I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 which is quite old but this is its main problem...
Thanks!

The sync is 2 way. If you created items in the calendar on the phone, however, BEFORE you set up the sync relationship, those items are stored in the calendar on the phone only.
Go into the calendar and tap the "Calendars" button in the upper left. You will see lists of all the calendars. On my iPhone are those that live exclusively on the phone. You will also see From My Mac (or something similar) as well as any that are synced with Exchange accounts, iCloud, etc.
Now go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down to Calendars and make sure the Default Calendar is set to the correct calendar. I don't believe there is any easy way to move all your entries from the local calendar to the one that syncs with iCal, but you can go into each entry and specify which calendar it belongs to.

Can sync video to ipod, but can't see it play

When I sync a podcast to itunes, it syncs into my ipod, but when I go to the ipod menu to play it, nothing happens. It is a MPEG4 file and you can see the name in the podcast directory, but when you select it, its blank. No video or sound.
What gives?
Thanks.

I think your keyfigure is a "Reference key figure", It is refering to another key figure. Check the keyfigure infoobject. You can create a new key figure (copy of reference key figure) and use it in DSO.
If it is a characterstic, then check whether "attribute only" flag is checked in the infoobject. Uncheck the flag and then it will come in the transformation.

I cannot activate a ringtone which I prepared with Iringer. It appears in iTunes under sounds but doesn't appear in sounds on the iPhone!!!

I cannot activate a ringtone which I prepared with Iringer. It appears in iTunes under sounds but doesn't appear in sounds on the iPhone!!!

if you created a ringtone, it should appear in the tone menu in itunes.
Is the ringtone 30 seconds or less?
Also I would check the iringer support site to resolve your issue.

I just installed the latest version of iTunes to get the updates and new software on my iPod but it hasn't updated my iPod or put any of the new software on there either. How to I get the software to sync onto my iPod?

Are you sure it's not 6.1.6? If it is, that is the latest iOS version that will work on a 4th generation iPod Touch. Later versions require a 5G iPod which has twice as much RAM.
