MP3's Added to Ipod get classified as "Other Data" and cannot be played

Evening Folks,
Currently when i hook up my Ipod to my computer and place music from my Itunes onto my Ipod they will show up under Music and register as being placed on the Ipod.
When i Eject the Ipod from my computer and go to access the music files on the Ipod itself they are no where to be found.
Afterward, when i hook the Ipod back up to the computer the files will be shown to be Other Data and will not show up in any of the accessible menu's thorough Itunes... however the space all the music took up is all correctly labeled.
Ive attempted the regular Restore and Reset options and this has not solved the problems unfortunately... besides sending the Ipod in for repair im at a loss and hope that someone on here has gone through a similar issue and will be able to help out.
Thanks so much to anyone who attempts to help me!!

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sounds like the library database on the iPod is corrupt in some fashion. Since restoring the normal way doesn't seem to help, try Erase your iPod - The Super Fix for most iPod Problems. Basically a low level format of the iPod’s hard drive to get around whatever problems are stopping iTunes from restoring it properly.

  • I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

    I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

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

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Recently, iTunes upgraded.  My 7th generation iPod is now not recognized and I cannot sync.  The troubleshooting talks  about being visible in Windows (iPod is invisible)  No other options and nothing about windows 8

    I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.

  • How can I get rid of the dates and time on my Notes

    How do I get rid of the dates and times on my Notes that appeared when I updated to 8?

    Yes, it's seems like a poor design decision.
    By putting the date on the line below the Note title in the Notes Index, the app shows half the number of notes per page AND if you have a large number of notes, it takes twice as long to stroll down.
    I doubt the designer actually uses the app.

    Ipod classic 160GB very slow sync and cannot connect to itunes store windows 7 ansd itunes 10.6.0.40. I have now been trying for 3 weeks to restore my iPod. Really frustrated, any ideas would be welcome.

    Cured the problem! Reinstalled an earlier version of itunes from oldapps.com (version 10) now everything works as it should. I would suggest that if you are experiencing these problems that you do the same. I must say that it is a brave business decision on behalf of apple to effectively lock out all windows 7 users from their products and sales channels and I can only wish them luck in this very shortsighted policy.

  • I have an older Ipod touch with 4.2.1 and cannot be updated any further, how do I install apps on it now?  so far every app I have tried says I need an updated IOS.  This sounds like I now have an apple product paper weight.

    Are you willing to buy a newer iPod? How about the 4g @ 16gb for $199* usd or the 5g @ 32gb for $299*.

  • Can I get the Requisition Submitted Date and Time in Emails

    Can I get the Requisition Submitted Date and Time in Emails
    Hi,
    Is there a way to get Requisition submitted Date and Time in Service Initiation Emails.

    Unfotunately, there is not a namespace that will return Submitted Date for a requisition or service. You can, however, get the start date:
    #Requisition.StartedDate# or #Service.Requisition.StartedDate#

    Make sure that your date and time settings and time zone are accurate (Settings - General - Date and Time). Reset your phone to 'Set Automatically' and then try signing in again - this worked for me.  My date/time settings were not automatic (candy crush cheats!!).

    Connect your phone back and resync except this time uncheck all the albums from itunes when you sync. This will take all the albums off your phone and clear up space on your phone.

  • The ipod touch says it is full and cannot accept any more downloads but it is not full how do I condintue to download songs?

    My daughter's ipod touch says it has no available space and can not download anything. It has a capacity of 6.5 GB. She only hads 236 songs, 3 video's,  63 pictures, and 17 apps. There is no way she has used up all the space with what she has on it but it lists her available capacity as 0 bytes. Any ideas?

    Connect the iPod to the computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes.  Near the botttom of the screen will be a colored bargraph showing the storage usage aon the iPOd.  If the "other" categot is large, like above 1 GB you need to restore the iPod to get the "other" to its normal of about 0.25 to 0.75 GB. Sometimes a restore to factory defaults/new iPod is required.
    If the other is normal. what does the bargraph say for the different categories?
