Lyrics won't show up

I can't get lyrics to display on a lot of my songs that do have lyrics in iTunes. First, my iPod Touch was messing up all my album art, so I deleted all of it and put it back on the iPod, and that fixed it. Then, it decided not to show lyrics. Once again, I deleted all the music but this time, putting it back didn't fix the problem. So I restored the iPod in iTunes and loaded it from scratch, not from a backup, and it still will not display lyrics for a lot of my songs. Is there a fix?

Go to iTunes, and then go to "About iTunes". If you're using version 9.1.1 (11) you may need to download the newest version here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install it. That will fix the problem.

My lyrics won't show up??????

I type in my lyrics on the computer, but when I press the center button (3 times because I have artwork) my lyrics don't show up!!
C304NR Windows XP

I just noticed this same error too. I also noticed that even when the lyrics are put into the file via iTunes, they do not show up in other programs, such as foobar 2000. It seems that the Lyric box is no longer saving into the "Unsynched Lyrics" part of mp3 or m4a files.
I've also just discovered that several songs I have just added to iTunes and then added lyrics to are not displaying the lyrics on my iPod Classic. I had to change the ID3 tag version for it to update and get it onto the iPod.

IPhone 5s won't show up in iTunes

I bought an iPhone 5s today and after it was fully activated and working, tried to hook it up to my computer. It said my itunes had to update, however it wouldn't update so I uninstalled itunes and downloaded it off of apple's site. This time it downloaded and when I checked itunes for updates, it said it was at 11.1.5 and current. However, when I plug my phone in, it won't show up in itunes. It registers on the computer and the phone asks me if I want to trust this computer, to which I answer yes.
I've tried checking the apple mobile support and stopping and starting it again along with anything else to do with the mobile. I've tried reinstalling, restarting and pretty much everything I can think of.
My computer is a fully updated, windows 8.1 HP

Itunes is still acting weird for me too.

TS1538 My iphone 5s won't show up on my itunes

My phone does show up on windows when I plug it inbut not in iTunes. I've tried everything that it says to do under support as well as uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it but it still won't show up. Is anyone having the same issue? I'm using the latest version of itunes and iOS and am running windows 8.

Hello macr888,
I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes. Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue. I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Manage"
4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
+Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
7. Close "Computer Management"
8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
9. Reconnect your iPod.
Does your iPod show up in iTunes?

I have an audiobook that I purchased via iTunes and it won't show up on my iPad, but it's everywhere else, iPhone, iPod and computer?

I purchased an audiobook via iTunes on my phone and it won't show up on my iPad? Why?

Did you sync it to your ipad?

IPod won't show up on itunes or mac, freezes, and doesn't play bought songs

Okay i have four issues with my iPod
1. It won't show up on iTunes or on Mac desktop
2. When i plug it into the USB port it freezes and say 'Do Not Disconnect'. It will not come out of this
3. Every single song i have bought won't play on my iPod. They transfer fine, but when i click on a bought song it simply skips over it
4. I authorized this computer but songs still need authorizing, and i have already authorized them
So we bought a new Mac and i plugged in my 30 GB video iPod for the first time. It showed up in iTunes then so i synced it to our new computer. Then i tried to listen to my bought songs and they simply wouldn't play. The iPod just skipped over them. I had one song out of three hundred or so that were bought actually play. Then i tried reauthorizing my new computer and getting rid of all the old computers that had been authorized. That didn't work, and the songs that actually needed to be authorized wouldn't be authorized even when i clicked on them.
So then i unplug and just listen to it as is for awhile but then i try plugging it in again and it just doesnt show up on my Mac desktop or iTunes. And the screen becomes frozen with the same message, 'Do Not Disconnect' I wait for a half an hour for it to show up and it never does. I have no choice to unplug it and then it is still frozen with that same message. Five hours pass, and it is still like that. It finally goes off and then it simply doesnt work. So i plug it in to my charger and its fine except the whole not playing bought songs business.
Please i beg if you have any answers to any of these problems HELP!!!!!

My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

Hi @anthony7722 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control. You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
Here are two links that I believe will help.
Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please try this process.
1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them but do not install them yet
2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
3. restart your notebook
4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
5. restart your notebook
6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver.
You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
I hope this helped.

My iPod touch won't show up in iTunes, but charges and shows up on different computers.

My iPod touch 5th gen last was synced with my iMac a couple weeks ago. Now when I plug it into iTunes, it won't show up. It's done this before and I've fixed it by updating iTunes, restarting the iPod/computer etc, but it seems I've tried everything. I've connected it to different USB ports, and it charges in all of them but doesn't show up. When I plug it in, Dropbox recognizes it and can get the pictures off, but iTunes won't work. I tried connecting the iPod to a different computer, and it showed up in iTunes just fine. I have the latest version of iTunes. I didn't restore my iPod from the other computer because if I can't get it to re-sync with this computer I'd rather not lose all my data. It seems I need to reinstall iTunes, but I don't know how- will it delete all my music that I already have on there?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I had this issue, I fixed it by going to:
Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
Then find the iPod, and Right Click > Properties > Hardware > Properties > Driver > Update Driver > Update Automatically
The driver had not been automatically installed, and windows found and installed the driver files for me. Took ~90 seconds, and then the iPod began it's sync process almost immediately after. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue! I'd try this before re-installing iTunes.

I have purchased music from itunes on my iphone and it won't show up in my Ipod music library on my phone. It shows up in my itunes library on my computer. This is a recent glitch as up until this week purchased music downloads fine on phone.

I purchased music on itunes on my iphone and the songs won't show up in my music library on the phone. They are on my computer itunes library but it won't let me transfer the purchases back to my phone (which I have never had to do before). Never had this problem before this week when purchasing music on my iphone.
My Itunes library on my laptop is slightly different from my Iphone library so I don't want to erase and sync the entire library.

In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in. Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

My iPod won't show up on my computer or iTunes

I have a major problem. I just bought a new 4GB 3rd gen nano from Hastings. It charges fine and there are no problems, except one. It won't show up on iTunes (I have the latest version) and I checked My Computer, and it doesn't show up there either. I tried reseting it and everyting, and I reinstalled iTunes, and I restarted my computer. But nothing works.
It might help to know that this isn't my fist iPod, I also had a 1st gen nano, bu it got messed up.
Help me?

Does your iPod show up in iTunes?

I have an old Ipod that won't show up on Windows Explorer but shows in Itunes., I have an old Ipod that won't show up on Windows Explorer but shows in Itunes.

I have an old Ipod that won't show up on Windows Explorer but shows in Itunes., I have an old Ipod that won't show up on Windows Explorer but shows in Itunes.

In iTunes, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.
There should be a checkbox that says Enable disk use. Check it and Apply the change. It should now appear in Windows, when the iPod is connected.
NOTE: When Disk Use is enable, you have to eject the iPod (in iTunes) before physically disconnecting it from computer.

Ringtone won't show up in 'Tones' tab?

I created a ringtone on the Myxer app and followed the app's instructions on how to add the ringtone to my desktop on my computer. I have done this many times before and never had a problem. When the ringtone is on my desktop, it is in the m4r format. I go to 'Tones', 'File', 'Add To Library' and select the tone I want, but it does not show up with my other ringtones. The ringtone will show up with all of my music instead. I looked at the information of my ringtone and it says that the file format and kind is a ringtone, so I am confused as to why it won't show up with my others? I am doing everything the same as I have done before. I also tried adding the ringtone to 'Tones' by double-clicking the ringtone on my desktop and by clicking and dragging it to 'Tones', but it will still show up in 'Music'.
I have iTunes 12.0.1 and a Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.1.

Hi Sarah, try to go to edit -> Preferences -> Click on the Tones Checkbox click ok and you will be able to see the tones in your library. Hope this helps.
even i am having itunes 12.0.1 and my problem is i cant find the checkboxes in preferences general Tab let me know if you have any idea whats the problem.
