Itunes syncs library but doesnt show on ipod touch

It's been a nightmare and a half trying to work with this mac and ipod touch, and i'm this close to throwing both out after taking a hammer to it.
I have whole library of songs on my itunes, and i can't seem to get the library to synch to my ipod touch.
I plug my ipod in, and itunes recongizes the device with my name.
i go to the tab/button >Music
select and check >Synch Music, then choice >Entire Library (i have tried the other choice, >selected playlist etc etc)
scroll down some and click >synch
and here's where it goes stupid
The blue bar for audio NOW SHOWS UP.
It does the Step 1 or 6 synching process really quickly, like seconds
the blue bar disappears, and nothing turns up on my ipod
i can play the audio files in itunes perfectly fine, but moving it from there to my ipod is not connecting.
ITUNES VER 10.6.3    
MAC os x 10.6.8
3rd GEN Ipod Touch ios 5.1.1

Have you successfully synced with this ITunes libray before?
Can you sync any media to your iPod?
Have you tried manually syncing?

  • ITunes 9.0.1 not showing my iPod Touch since I installed OS 10.5.8

    Your help, please...
    iTunes 9.0.1 is not showing my iPod Touch since I installed OS 10.5.8.
    Your ideas are welcome, because I'm out of them.
    Thank you,

    It looks like part of the crash report is missing. But at the top of your message it states there's an issue with the xmlTextReader in Pages. I guess this means Pages is having trouble opening, closing or saving the document.
    If this only happens with one Pages document then it may just be corrupt.
    If this happens with any Pages document then I'd suggest deleting Pages, reinstalling it from DVD/Mac App Store, updating it and then trying to work with a document.
    If this doesn't answer your question please provide more information eg what steps to take to cause the problem, if it happens with one or many documents, if you get any error message at all, etc.

  • Artwork in Itunes music library but not on my Ipod

    Only got my Ipod at the weekend so don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I've enabled the option for album artwork and click on get artwork for each album I have transferred into my library. The artwork appears in my library but on my Ipod many of the albums that have the artwork in the library aren't appearing on my Ipod.
    Anyone know why this is?

    It is possible that you have not selected the option to have your iPod show album artwork. Here is how to check:
    Plug your iPod into your computer
    Click on you iPod when it appears under DEVICES on the left of the iTunes screen
    Your iPod should appear on the screen under a tab named Summary. Click on the tab titled Music
    There is a check box on the very bottom of the list on the Music tab called "Display album artwork on your iPod" If this is not checked, then check it.
    Then click Apply in the lower right corner of the screen, then click Sync, also in the lower right of the screen
    This should fix the problem and upload the album artwork onto your iPod

  • Ipod touch 4g detected in itunes but not showing the ipod touch control panel

    i just setup my ipod touch 4g on ios 5.0.1. It's detected in itunes on the devices side bar but when i click it just a white screen stating "ipod" comes on the itunes window. help ! i cannot sync anything onto it

    Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
    If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
    If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.

  • Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes

    Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes tried to check usb driver but computer says it is working properly

    Just disconnecting it without ejecting should not cause permanent damage.  It may cause data corruption, if iTunes was in the process of syncing at the time.  But iTunes should still see the shuffle and (maybe) tell you to Restore it.
    Is it possible that the "accident" damaged the USB cable? 
    Make sure you have done this on the shuffle since the problem occurred
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    And you should also shut down (power off) the computer, if you have not already.
    Have you tried more than one USB port on the computer (not a hub if you use one)?  You can also try it with all other USB devices disconnected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).
    If those things do not help, what version of Windows do you use?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    How do I save items in library but not copy to ipod?

    If the item is in your iTunes library then it is already saved.
    With the iPod plugged in then select the items that you want to sync to the iPod. You can sync your entire library to the iPod - space permitting - or just selected content.
