Music wont show on my ipod

However, when i plug it into my computer i can see all my music but it wont sync back to my ipod. Everytime i click on a song an exclamation point appears right next to.
Im not to sure what happened, my bf was downloading some new songs from spotify and it wouldnt sync to my computer. It was taking forever and my itunes frooze so my bf unplugged my ipod without ejecting it properly, and when we tried to put my ipod back into my computer all my music was lost from my ipod, except the ones that were recently downloaded from spotify. But when i click on my ipod on my computer i see all my music but it just wont transfer back to my computer!!!!
My bf was only able to get a couple of songs back to my ipod but not all of them. PLEASE HELP!!!!! I have no idea what to do and i dont want to lose all my songs either because half of my songs where from my sisters old computer and they wouldnt all transfer over to my new computer but they all stayed on my ipod.
THANK YOU sooo much for your help!

- The ! means that iTunes can't find the song file, it just has the title and where the song should be located. You can verify that by trying to play the song in iTunes on the computer.
- To find the songs try:

Are you saying that the "Music" app is not present on your iPod Touch? Perhaps there is an issue with the restrictions on the iPod? If you're absolutely sure that the Music app is not present I would consider creating a backup of your iPod after syncing it with iTunes. I would then consider restoring it if this is the case.

My music wont play on my ipod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My music wont show up

my iTunes music wont show up after signing out of a different account and signing into mine
also, could I download two different iTunes accounts music onto one device?

Um, maybe if you further described your problem. It just sounds like (to me) that you must have somehow deleted your music from iTunes but not from it's library (the hard copy of the songs it keeps in its folder). In that case youd have to drag all those files into the "library" icon of your iTunes.

Music not showing up on iPod screen

My iPod classic 80 freezes every now and then, and I can reset it to get it moving again, it's just all the options on my main screen except "Settings" disappears. My music is still in the iPod, b/c I can press "Play" and it starts playing my music in order of artist.
I have followed the 5R's and doing this brings the options back, but as soon as my iPod freezes again, and I reset it manually it's the same shenanigans. I am not always at my computer and I would like to be able to reset it without it doing this.

Are you referring to this?

Music not showing up on ipod, but memory is used up

i have a 4G nano, and when i plug it into itunes it shows that there isn't any music on my ipod, but it reads that all the memory is used up. do i need to reset or restore to original settings?

Yes, definetely try restoring your iPod using your iPod Updater. Check this link out:
Restoring iPod to Factory Settings.
Restoring will delete all the music off your iPod, but will not affect the iTunes library.
If you have any issues with restoring your iPod, just tell me, and I'll try to help you.

Music not showing up in iPod

My wife & I both have 30GB iPods. She has been managing her's from her computer, I've been managing mine from mine.
Recently she wanted some music I had already ripped to my computer. I hooked up her iPod, everything looked fine, I copied the music, all her music (& the new tunes) appeared in iTunes under the device just fine. I also copied several podcasts at the same time. But once her iPod was diconnected and she tries to use it, no music shows up on her iPod. When she goes to "music", it's as though she selected "podcasts"; it looks the same and she can't find any music on her iPod.
Does anyone know what's happening & how to resolve this?

This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

Music Playlist shows video playlists - iPod BUG. IS IT JUST ME?

I have the 160GB ipod classic. I have several video playlists set up (to manage music videos, other movies, etc.). When I select "music" from the main menu, then select "playlists" to pull up my music playlists as set up on iTunes, I see all of my video playlists listed and they show "0 SONGS" under the playlist name, obviously because they are not supposed to have songs and only have videos. When I click on the video playlist from this menu, the ipod hangs on a white screen (forever!) until I press menu to return the music playlist menu... Is it just me or is this one of the many continued bugs that the iPod classic still has even after the 1.0.2 software update?
APPLE - PLEASE FIX THIS BUG WITH THE OTHERS AND RELEASE 1.0.3 SOFTWARE ASAP!!!

I did realize that I also have a "music videos" (smart) playlist that shows all music videos. Since these have songs in them, they are listed also...

Try:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Music not showing up on Ipod

All of my music shows up under the music tab in my device on itunes, but when I click the music tab on my ipod itself, it says I have no music. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?
I know my music isn't deleted, because I can plug my ipod into someone elses computer and my songs will still show up and play under my device on their itunes.
Why won't they show up on my ipod?

To all of you guys who has this problem, just update your iTunes to the recent version then sync your "iDevice".
This works for me. Aside from my music files, my movie files doesn't show up also (I'm not sure with the pics, coz I don't have photos saved on my device). I almost tried to restore my device, but luckily I followed mohsrocks7's link and It worked for me.

Music wont play on my ipod, but is still shown in grey(not black) text.

I got a new 4th generation ipod a few months ago and when i tried to put music onto it 95% of the songs are unplayable by my ipod, but all of my music was working on my 2nd generation ipod and in itunes. the songs that dont work are shown in grey text and the ones that do in black. all of the artists and albums are still displayed in black even if no songs in that folder work. Every now and then when i go to sync, an error message shows up and says that one of the songs couldnt be synced and then the sync ends. and ive fully updated is and even tried reseting the ipod and redownloading itunes.

You should check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.
See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.

My music wont sync to my ipod touch, although everything else does!

I've had my ipod touch for just under 2 years now and have never had a problem with it. However in the last month, the sound from the left ear has been faulting quite severly. It's not the headset as i have purchased 3 sets and have all had the same problem.
Within the last week, i have gone to update my itunes and re-sync my ipod (i have not done this in a month). It came up with: unknown error 14 and then sent the ipod into recovery mode. I then had to restore it on another pc as the restore did not work on my laptop. The restore was successful and i then reconnected the ipod to my laptop, which sent the ipod into recovery mode again. The process happened 3 times (including re-installing itunes) untill it finally worked on my acer.
I then backed up my ipod touch, synced all media (photos, apps, movies, music) however the music files did not copy. Everything but the music copied successfully. I have tried to sync it 3 times and i get the same message 'sync is complete, ok to disconnect'. However, my ipod keeps telling me i have no media on file and that i need to download music from itunes.
Please help! I am finding these past few days very difficult without my music!

I don't have an iPod Touch so I can't advise about that: you would probably get a useful answer in the iPod Touch forum.
