Music sync but doesn't show up

Tonight I went to add about 130 songs to the ones already on my iPhone. There was about 834MB left before the sync, after the sync, 200MB. After the sync, the music no longer shows up on the phone and of course it won't play. The memory is used but in the about screen it shows 0 songs 0 videos. I remove the songs using iTunes and the space all shows as free. I add one song only and it shows no songs on the iPhone again. This is on a MBP with Tiger and 1.1.2 on the iPhone.
I went and synced on my XP laptop, I restored and then synced, all music shows up and plays perfectly now that I have lost all my settings on my MBP iPhone backup.
How can I get my music to show up on my iPhone that I sync on my Mac?

I'm not sure I understand what you say when you say you don't want to make a new library but fix the old one -- fixing the old one basically is making a new one.
I'd do this -- select all the songs in your library and press delete. Answer "no" to removing them from your hard drive. Then just drag and drop your songs into that library and all will be well.

HT1296 I am trying to sync my ipod to my computer thru itunes, I have already successfully synced my ipad, but keep getting stuck on the sync for the ipod it identifies, the device appears to be syncing but doesn't show up my new music or my new playlist?

I am trying to sync my i-pod to my computer thru itunes. I successfully synced my Ipad thru the computer, but am trying to do the same with the Ipod. The device shows up on my computer and appears to be syncing, but nothing changes. I have tried dragging the new music to the device, but a symbol appears with a slash thru the middle, as if denying access, any suggestions what to try next. I have synced on this Ipod succesfully in the past, Suggestions?

To drag and drop you have to use the Manual Method. That method is included here:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Was the iPod set up by wifi or setup or synced to another computer/iTunes library?

Ipod touch syncs but doesn't show in itunes

My iPod Touch syncs when first connected. But then it doesn't show up in the iTunes menu under devices anymore. Apple troubleshooting takes me in circles.

Here is the help article that actually worked:

a lot of work, but it finally is syncing.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "music library" - are you looking in the Music app? Or the iTunes app (which is not the one to be looking in)?

syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist. Sync menu doesn't show all playlists. Help

I have the same problem with podcast playlists. When I go to the music window in my iPhone devices section, the playlists I have created on my macbook pro in iTunes do not appear as an option to sync with the iPhone. I know some web radios streams, like the BBC, won't transfer because of compatibility issues, but the playlists of podcasts that I have created consist entirely of podcasts downloaded from the podcasts section on the iTunes Music Store. They used to show up and sync properly before I upgraded to OS 5.1.1, but now they don't.
Does anyone have a fix and am I right in surmising that the cause is a glitch in OS 5.1.1?

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder

My iPhone 4S is picked up by both itunes and iphoto but doesn't show up in Finder and I can't get it to sync with iCal. Any ideas? I've had trouble in the past with cameras and other devices not showing up in Finder and I don't know what is wrong! I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 which is quite old but this is its main problem...
Thanks!

The sync is 2 way. If you created items in the calendar on the phone, however, BEFORE you set up the sync relationship, those items are stored in the calendar on the phone only.
Go into the calendar and tap the "Calendars" button in the upper left. You will see lists of all the calendars. On my iPhone are those that live exclusively on the phone. You will also see From My Mac (or something similar) as well as any that are synced with Exchange accounts, iCloud, etc.
Now go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down to Calendars and make sure the Default Calendar is set to the correct calendar. I don't believe there is any easy way to move all your entries from the local calendar to the one that syncs with iCal, but you can go into each entry and specify which calendar it belongs to.

My caller id is not working on iphone 5 - it beeps but doesn't show who is calling or let me click over

I have recently had my iphone 5 not show who is calling on call waiting. The phone beeps but doesn't show the number / per son that is calling, won't let me click over and won't show who it was in my call history. Help very annoying.

1st go into your settings then tap phone to see if call waiting is turned on or off. If call waiting isOFF turn it ON. You can use also Apple article HT 4515. I would contact my wireless carrier reguarding the caller id not showing up and also with help reguarding your call waiting as well
Hope this helps

SSI shows up correctly in DW but doesn't show up in browser.

I am trying to update the company website here at work using Dreamweaver 4 and the copyright information at the bottom of the page is in an ssi file. The file shows up fine in Dreamweaver but doesn't show up at all in either of my browers (Safari/Firefox). What am I doing wrong?

SSIs are parsed by the server. You're probably not doing anything wrong, you simply need to upload the files to your remote server and look at the pages on-line.
If you want to preview local files, you'll need to install a local testing server on your machine. Get one of the following servers for your OS and follow the installation instructions.

Hello b0nvivant,
Thank you for providing so much information about the iPod issue you are experiencing. I found an article with steps to take when your iPod is recognized in Windows Explorer but not in iTunes:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB
