Library empty in ipod, library full when connected to the pc

Hi Poeple,
My 30GB Black 5th generation iPoD worked fine for about 4 month now (got it at the end of january).
But now i have some very strange problems:
When i connect my ipod to the computer,
1. it's shown white under the devices and the serial number as well as the version number is not schown in the summary tab
2. i can put music on my ipod and the library is full with my songs (about 10gig, so enough free space for other stuff)
3. but now: when i disconnect it correctly from my pc and want to look if all songs are there, the library is empty but the capacity shows that this 10 gig are full. Also it says that there are 0 songs on it (:S lol?)
all worked fine until the update to itunes 7.1.1.5 and now nothing works anymore...
The first thing i did was resetting the ipod to the originally settings, and than i deleted all songs on it. After this it worked and was verified right in the summary. Now i put something on it and looked if it works: it did. then the rest of my music and i looked again: the library was empty again... but full on my comp....
Answer fast please.
Is there a solution for this problem or is the only way the solve this prblem to send it back and get a new one (warranty)?
Greetings
Benni

  • IPod only charges when connect to the Mac

    My iPod will only charge when connected to the Mac.  It will not charge on any other cable or docking station.  And, yes, I have tested the various cables and docking stations with other devices and the issue is clearly only with this one device.  I am note sure what generation the device is, but it is old enough that it cannot run iOS 7.  It is on iOS 6.1.5.
    Thanks

    Then it seems that the other sources do not work satisfactorily. Do the other charging sources charge other devices?

  • IPod Error Message when connected to the computer

    When I have my iPod connected to my computer and listening to it's music through the computer, or even just updating songs onto my iPod, I always get an error message.
    It doesn't really do anything, except it's just there and it's bugging me...On the bottom right of my computer where the time is- thats where the message pops up and it keeps on coming back every 10 minutes or so.
    The message says-
    iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
    The file or directory /iPod_Control/iTunes/Temp File 1 is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
    How would I go about fixing this, and what the hellll does it mean?????
    Thanks in advance for the help

    I've sort of figured out what the error message means- as in what it does to my iPod...
    I am unable to add music to my iPod anymore. Anytime I connect my iPod to my computer and try to "safely remove it" with the eject thing, it says it is unable to because it is being files from my iPod Mini are being used by other files(I completely shut down all other music files and still received this message)...
    So since I am unable to "safely remove the hardware", I have to do it without clicking the little eject iPod thing. When I do that, my iPod doesn't save any of the music I just put on it, and it comes out exactly the way it was before...
    Any idea how to fix this, and how I got it???
    And for some reason...My iPod keeps on telling me theres not enough room on it for any more songs when their is over 2.3 GBs left...
    What issss going on here???

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

    what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

    My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
    You may need to go back and start over.  Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

  • Unable to access song list in ipod when connected to the computer.

    My daughter loaned her ipod to a friend who tried to download some music to her ipod. A box opened asking if she wanted to delete all her songs from her ipod and she was given yes, no, and cancel. She pushed cancel and got out.
    My daughters ipod has not worked correctly since.
    When connected to the computer and logged into iTunes she can see all the songs in her ipod but they are light in color and she can not play or pick songs from the list. She can't delete anything from her list in the ipod. She can play her music from the computer list just fine.
    What has happened and can we somehow get her ipod back to working correctly?

    Hello jhfields,
    So, you are saying that you are unable to pick and choose songs from the Music list for the iPod while it is plugged into iTunes?
    If the songs are grayed out, it is probably because the iPod is set up to automatically sync. In order to play music from the iPod through iTunes, you have to enable the "manually manage music and videos" option from under the iPod's Summary tab.
    Does that do the trick for you?

  • Why cannot I see my music on my iPod when connected to the pc, using Windows explorer

    I am having problems with seeing my iPod Classic in my Windows Explorer.... when connecting using the correct leads I can only see the non-essential directoris, my music is hidden and is shown as F1, F2, F3,etc......
    Please help as I wish to transfer the music to my netbook...
    Thanks

    Those F1, F2, etc., folders are the ones containing your actual music.  If you copy these over to your Desktop and then into iTunes most of your track tags should still be with associated with the correct tracks in these folders.  Some may not.

  • I cannot turn on my ipod touch. the apple logo appears but does nothing after and when connected to the computer, it is nor recognize. what's the solution for this?

    how to fix ipod touch if it hungs/ does not turn on and stays only on the apple logo when you press/hold the keys home and sleep/wake. and when connected to the computer, it does not appear in the itunes that the ipod is connected or simply the computer does not recognize the device. i barely need you help guys! please...

    I found this possible solution on another support thread, so I tried it.
    turn off iPod
    hold Sleep and Home buttons to start it.
    When Apple appears, let go of Sleep button, but keep holding Home button.
    When screen goes blank, let go of Home button.
    Connect cable and check iTunes to see if it has conencted.
    This did not work for me.
    I then turned off the iPod, restarted the Mac, and restarted the iPod normally.
    I connected them with the cable, and it works like normal.  :-)
