My computer says my songs are loaded on the ipod, but there isn't anything

I got an iPod mini for Christmas. I followed the instructions to get everything set up on the computer (I already had iTunes). When I connect my iPod, it says all of the songs are already downloaded to my iPod and the "updates are complete". When I disconnect my iPod, there aren't any songs there. If I scroll through the settings, it says "0 songs", but when I connect my iPod to iTunes, it says there is 11 hours of songs there (I have the songs uploaded to the computer, but I cannot get them onto my iPod).
I tried to reset my iPod, restore it, reload and update iTunes, everything else that is suggested to fix it. My computer says the songs are on my iPod, but my iPod says there are 0 songs. How do I get the songs loaded?

    My ipod touch seems to have updated on its own, and now I can't access the songs, show a red circle with a red dot in the center.  Computer says the songs are still on the ipod.  Fix?

    I have the same problem. I bought a 3rd party software (tunejack) and it allowed me to transfer my songs to my new pc. Now I can't play them because I am not authorized. It says I am but then it says im not.

  • My ipod had to be restored so I restored it. Now it says my songs are back on my ipod, but they ain't. I have tried syncing it like ten times.

    - Try restoring from a backup that include the photos. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you use PhotoStream you should be able to get the last 30 days worth from your PhotoStream. See:

  • I need help - songs are still on the ipod but dont show up

    my itunes crashed the other day and suddenly all the files on my ipod were gone. now when i connect it, itunes doesnt recognize it anymore, but i can see from the space left info in the finder that the songs are still on there. using ipod viewer, it even loads the songs to a certain point. unfortunately, a message comes up about an error reading the ipod. now my question is, is there any way or program to extract all those files from my ipod or do i really need to restore it?

    yes i did. that was actually what i did when i had my ipod connected to the computer and itunes froze which lead to all my stuff getting deleted. so NEVER do this while your ipod is connected to your computer. thanks for your reply.

  • TS2972 i can't find my SAG/AFTRA screener that i downloaded.  It is on my computer.  My photos are streamed to the AppleTv, but the TV says "you haven't purchased any movies"  it's considered a rental.

    I am now having the same problem - I cannot find the SAG/AFTRA screener that I just redeemed - however, it is showing up as a rental on my itunes (on my PC).  But it is not showing up yet on my Apple TV.    It also has NOT yet finished downloading - so does that mean once the screener is done downloading entirely, then it will appear on my Apple TV?

  • I know the songs are still on my Ipod, but they wont appear.

    i know that i have my songs loaded on my ipod, because there is only 8 gigs left out of 19 some-odd gigs, but none of the playlists nor the songs show up on the ipod or itunes. my photos are still on, ive installed the ipod updater and new version of itunes, but the songs still wont appear. i dont want to have to delete everything off my ipod because i have songs from other computers on my ipod that i wouldnt be able to get back. any suggestions on what to do?
    ps. ive tried this on both a mac and pc. the problem occurred after i loaded my ipod onto a mac, it would play the songs off the ipod, but when i dissconnected the ipod none of the songs appeared.

    You can try to restore your iPod... But before you do that you should get a 3rd party program like Yamipod to copy everything off of your iPod onto your computer so you wont have to worry about losing music/videos again!

  • All my songs are gone from the ipod!! PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!

    Ok.
    So i was putting some new songs on my iPod 20 GB, the one before the colour screen came. the operation hung itself up, for the first time. everything worked well with the ipod when i hooked it off. then i put it on again, and nothing worked. and now there are NO songs on the ipod, BUT i do not believe they are deleted, because both the ipod AND itunes says only 90 MB free space. but when i go on it on my harddrive, and try to check the music files on the ipod, all the folders are in strange chinese-like language, and i can't open anything!
    PLZ, any advice? i CAN'T LOOSE MY MUSIC!! PLZ HELP!!!

  • Partial songs are copied to the IPod

    In my iTunes Library the entire song exists - when the song is synced to the iPod only part of the song is copied. This has happened to quite a few songs (happened during a restore). Does anyone know what causes this and what can be done to fix it?

  • I have lost most of my i tunes library.  Many of the lost songs are are my ipod.  What happens if I load plug my ipod into the computer?  Will I erase whats on the ipod because there'll be no match found on my itunes library.  Or..will I be allowed to mov

    I have lost my i tunes library.  Many of my lost songs are on my two nano i pods.
    Since I have lost my i tunes library I have re-installed most songs.  However I have a large number of songs on my i pods which I would like to retrieve.  If I try to load my i pods to my computer will I lose the songs which I could not get re-installed to my library but are on the i pods.  Since I lost my library I have not re-introduced my i pods for updating since they too will likely have to be re-installed.  Will I lose the songs already in the i pods if have to re-introduce them to my computer.  A solution to this problem would be for me to transfer my lost library songs from the i pod to my library.  Can this be done?
    1)  Is it possible to retrieve songs from a lost i tunes library?  Withoutout re-loading the entire library (since I have done this manually).
    2)  What happens if I re-introduce my i pods to the computer?  Will this cause me to lose the present i pod installed music?
    3)  Can I transfer my lost songs and albums from my i pods to the i tunes library?

    As you will have discovered, the music sync is only one way, from iTunes to the iPod, minus iTunes purchases.  On top of that, an iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.

  • My songs are still on my ipod but it says 0 items, wont mount properly

    my ipod will connect to my computer and is recognized, however when i open itunes it tells me i need to restore. I cant seem to find my ipodcontrol folder on this computer though to back up all of my music. I opened it on another computer and all of my files are on the ipod still. BUT i cant access them on my ipod. its driving me crazy, in my about option on my ipod it tells me that my available capacity is at what it was before my songs disappeared, because it tells me i have 0 items. i know its on there because i just installed some software to back up my ipod but it wont open the songs in itunes, but on a laptop i was able to find the ipodcontrol folder and play the songs on itunes. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY IPOD!? this all came about when i plugged my ipod into my boyfriend's itunes, added songs, then the itunes became shoty and had to close the application manually. we ejected my ipod, tried to listen to it, and all my songs were gone...but they arent...because all the files are still there. how do i get my songs back to playing, and my ipod mounted correctly?

    I've got somehow the same problem.
    When I connect the Ipod to my computer and is recognized, I get the message that the file 'Itunes DB' has been damaged or can't be read and that I have to use the program CHKDSK, whatever that means.
    Itunes gives me the message that he can't read the Ipod and that I have to restore the Ipod to the factory settings. But then I loose al the fantastic music that had been stored on the Ipod. Don’t know what to do any more…
    All the problems started when I had to reset my Ipod because I couldn't turn him off!!!!

  • HT1766 ive just bought a ipod off my cousin it has loads ov apps on and they worked until ive plugged it in to itunes now they are showing on the ipod but wont play can you help please

    ive just bought a ipod off my cousin it had loads ov apps on it what worked but ive tried to manually sync it and now none will work can any1 helpthanks

    The apps and other content on the iPod did not transdfer with the purchase of the iPod. The lience to use them remains with the original purchaes. You should connect the iPod to your computer and restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and purchase and sync you own media.
