Itunes shows importing but no songs appear on ipod

Hi,
Can anyone help with this problem. ITunes shows that all songs are being automatically updated and comes up with the message that it is all complete. Then we check the ipod and there are no songs on there.
Thanks
Ed

Do you have a network drive?

I bought a few songs on itunes but the songs appear in grey letters and I cannot transfer them to my iphone. I've bought/rented TV shows/movies since so there isn't an issue with my account. How can I get these newly purchased songs onto my iphone?

You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

Ipod earased music but itunes shows that it's still on the ipod

I synced my ipod just two days and listened to it yesterday. I downloaded a song on iTunes and when I went to sync it, my iPod was wiped clean but when I hook it up to iTunes, iTunes shows that al the songs are still on there, to include the new song. I didn't accidentally, or deliberately, erase or delete anything. Please advise.

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.
- Unsyncdelete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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.

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.

Me and my dad share an iTunes account and all of his music he has purchased on ITunes shows up on my songs list with a cloud icon next to it. How do I get rid of these from my songs list? Cuz it's doing the same thing on my iPhone

Me and my dad share an iTunes account and all of his music he has purchased on ITunes shows up on my songs list with a cloud icon next to it. How do I get rid of these from my songs list? Cuz it's doing the same thing on my iPhone.

Go to Edit > Preferences > Store, and uncheck the box for "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases."

How do you add icons to the iPhone which are listed as purchased apps and show installed but are not appearing on the screen.

Some of my purchased apps show installed but don't appear as icons on my phone. How do I get them to be icons?

I am back. I have now sorted out my Launch Pad to be organized the way I want it. I have decluttered my Dock. Very nice.
Now I want to add some of the remaining icons for apps that did not automatically show up in Launch Pad. So, again, how do I do that?
Thanks,
Cliff

Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

Hello,
I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
Hope this helps.

HT201272 A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are on my iTunes, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod.

A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

Songs appear on iPod in iTunes, but after disconnected, pod is empty

HELP HELP HELP
I'm having a very strange issue. I copy songs from my iBook to my iPod, and they appear on the pod in iTunes, but when I disconnect the iPod, the pod says there are no songs on it.
I've tried EVERYTHING!! I reformatted the iBook, restored the iPod, tried different USB port, set up a different user, etc...
The strange thing is, when I use the iPod on my G4 Tower (exact same operating system as the iBook), the songs transfer fine. And when I use an older 3G iPod on the iBook, the songs transfer over fine. It's like the iPod and the iBook just don't get along!!

This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

Shuffle seems to sync, but no songs appear in Contents

My daughter just got a refurbished 2nd Gen. Shuffle. Our Mac and iTunes recognize it, but everytime we connect it, it goes through 2 seconds of "syncing" (or so it says) but nothing appears in the iPod's content window.
We've tried all the R nonsense (Restart, Restore, bla, bla, bla) MANY times to no avail.
We've also tried manually managing and dragging songs to the iPod, but it won't let us do that either.
It says it's syncing, but nothing shows up. Any ideas?
Thanks

Turn off show all music; extra songs appear in iPhone library; unable to delete

I turn ON 'show all music', then download a couple more songs I want from iCloud to expand my iPhone5 library. Then I turn 'show all music' back OFF and a myriad of other songs appear in my library that I did not want downloded to my phone (nor did I select from the cloud) and I am unable to delete them from the library...
This sounds like a glitch with the iOS 7.0.4 as I am unable to find a similar solution in the community other than "delete all your music and start over..." which is not the route I'd like to take. If there are other remedies out there, please help! Apple, if you're listening, please fix! I have over 750 songs in the cloud!

Items with the Cloud icon are not on your phone. They are items that have been purchased previously but have since been deleted. You can download them again by tapping the Cloud icon.

Hi,
What is the iCloud status of these tracks?
You can add icloud status column to song view - go to menu > view> view options and tick box. This will tell you what has been Matched, Uploaded, Purchased, Inelligible, Duplicate or Waiting.

To restore my itunes library. but no songs will play. what next? i

i had backed up iTunes to external hard drive since i had to do a clean install on my computer. My os is windows vista.
I installed iTunes on my computer.
Then i copied the iTunes folder on the external hard drive to the music folder on my clean computer.
these are the steps i followed: iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
i followed these steps for
Restoring your iTunes Library backup
When you need to restore your backed up iTunes Library from your external hard drive to your computer, follow these steps:
Quit iTunes.
Locate your external hard drive.
Windows: In My Computer
Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
Windows Vista: \Users\username\My Music\
Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows).
In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button.
Select the iTunes folder you just moved to the internal hard drive.
Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .
After following these steps, iTunes will open and your iTunes Library will be restored.
to get my iTunes library in iTunes.
Well, my library IS there with playlists. But no songs will play.
Obviously i've missed a step or done something incorrectly.
please help.

Are the songs displayed with exclamation marks? The exclamation mark for missing files is shown if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. Changing the path to the media folder won't fix the links to files you've moved by hand.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. I would suggest you untick Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Keep iTunes Media folder organized before you start so that things don't have to move around as they are repaired.

When importing a CD, the CD Lookup Results dialogue box came up and I choose the wrong CD title. Now iTunes is importing a different song list than the one on my CD. How can I retrieve the CD Lookup Results to choose the correct title?

When importing a CD, the "CD Lookup Results" dialogue box came up and I choose the wrong CD title. Now iTunes is wanting to import a different song list than the one on my CD. I've shut down my computer and opened iTunes from the hard drive Program Files and tried to import the CD again with the same problem. How can I retrieve the "CD Looup Results" diaglogue box to choose the correct CD title to fit the song list on my original CD?

You might also be able to do it without importing the songs again I think. Just highlight the tracks, right click them and choose "Get Track Names". This feature only works on CDs that were imported via iTunes.
