My iPod doesn't show song ratings in iTunes

When I am listening to music on the street, I give 1 star rating to songs i dislike, so I can delete them from my device when I get home and connect it with iTunes. In iTunes, there are the 5 and 4 tar ratings I gave to specific songs before I even put them on my iPod, but the 1 star songs aren't shown and when I remember a song title I gave 1 star and search for it, it doesn't show up. So now there is a bunch of "unliked" songs on my iPod touch I want to get rid of, but it doesn't show in iTunes and it is still there on my iPod. Pretty annoying.....

Ipod doesn't show in Windows or ITunes

I wanted to update my Ipod today with several songs that I had purchased. I opened the Itunes folder. I plugged the Ipod in and nothing happened. I went into "My Computer" and nothing there (usually shows up in G). I went to the Help area here and decided to download the latest version of the Ipod software since mine was 11/04. I restarted the computer, reset my Ipod and again opened Itunes. Same thing. I even purchased a new cable (thought the original one may be bad). Before I decided to do that I tried plugging my digital camera with it's own cord and it worked fine. Then I plugged my son's MP3 with it's own cord and it worked fine. So, doesn't seem to be a cord problem. What do I need to do now? Oh, I do hear a sound from the computer when I plug the Ipod in(like a device connected sound) and in the LCD of the Ipod it says "Do Not Disconnect" It sounds like its trying to do something but nothing happens. I tried to update the IPOD and it said to connect my Ipod and when I did it just sat there with the same connect the Ipod message. In case this matters, we are using AVAST Virus Home Software (Got rid of Norton months ago when I couldn't upgrade to Itunes 6. Please help me...I have lost half a day... Thanks

Ipod doesn't show up in new itunes

I just upgraded to itunes 12.0.1.26 and now my ipod (4th gen touch, iOS 6.1.6) doesn't show up anymore. I've tried restarting and I've checked for Apple Mobile Device Support, which is as far as my troubleshooting knowledge goes. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks!

New iPod will not sync song ratings with iTunes

A few months ago I bought an iPhone (my first Apple MP3 player) and loaded it up with some music and everything worked fine between it and iTunes. I would rate some songs on the iPhone and synced it up with iTunes and it transferred those song ratings over with no problems.
I later got rid of the iPhone and bought an iPod 4GB Nano and loaded it up with music but when I rated some songs and synced it up with iTunes it would not transfer the ratings over. It would transfer over the ratings fine from iTunes to the iPod but not the other way around. I removed and reinstalled iTunes and deleted the iTunes folder within the My Music folder on my computer and reloaded iTunes and imported all my music again. Restored and reset my iPod and tried again, it still will not transfer over the song ratings from iPod to iTunes.
So I figured I got a screwed up iPod (it was a refurb) and decided to go ahead and upgrade. Bought a brand new iPod 8GB Nano and the same thing is happening again. Although it's not absolutely critical to be able to rate songs it helps in getting my music library sorted in deciding what to keep or not.
Any idea what to do short of reinstalling Vista or moving my music library over to another computer to sync with?

Hi, I just sorted out this problem for my ipod touch. Jose9550 and Chris in CA did not explain very well how it is to be sorted - their posts helped me but iI sort of discovered it by accident. My main problem was that the ipod did not update itunes with my track ratings made direct with the touch screen whilst listening to tracks.
Here is how I found out how to sort it:
Step 1: Click on the option in the summary screen to manually manage the music on you Ipod. Back up any tracks/playlists that you don't want to lose.
Step 2: Create a few playlists with music that you want on Ipod
Step 3: Click on your Ipod name in Itunes side bar and then select the Music tab on the main panel on the right. Now click on the check box "Sync Music". This will bring up a prompt that all your music /playlists currently on the Ipod may be erased. Accept this message and then click on check box "Selected playlists". Now pick the playlists/playfolders you want synced. Click apply.
Step 4: Go into the menu bar in itunes and select Edit>Preferences>Devices> and uncheck box beside "Disable Automatic syncing for IPhones and IPods"
Now any changes made to the playlists/tracks etc on the desktop or IPod will be transferred in both directions.

My ipod doesn't show all the info itunes does.

I'm not sure this is a question really. But let me be more specific. I ripped a cd by a classical (baroque) composer named Gesualdo. I wrote "Gesualdo" in the artist (not the composer) tag field and "Gesualdo: Madrigals" in the album field. In itunes, when browsing my library, the name Gesualdo is in the artists list and so is the album name. After syncing my ipod (ipod video 1st gen, itunes 7.02, sync everything) I looked for Gesualdo in the artists but the name is nowhere to be found, although the album is there and can be found scrolling down to the letter G. I checked my spelling, I made sure no spaces or other invisible characters were typed by mistake but still the name Gesualdo was missing. This hasn't happened before, but then again I don't check and double check everything I transfer to ipod - maybe this is not the only case of missing info. I wonder if this could be a bug or something. Any ideas? Constantine

Constantine,
Is it possible that you Gesualdo Madrigals have been designated as Part of a compilation?
If so, "undesignating" them may be the solution.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it resolves the problem.

I'm going through the same thing, I've tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing my computer and that seems to help. I haven't gotten all my songs back yet, but I've got about 75% of it back.

Start up your computer. Run iTunes. Connect iPod. Try to sync again.

Ipod doesn't show in itunes, vista installed, also, thinks it's syncing...

I really don't know what to put for a subject! Itunes and my ipod shuffle ran perfectly under Windows XP. I have a LOT of music successfully loaded (from itunes purchases and my own cds) on the 'pod. It plays fine. Problem is, computer bit the dust. I decided to upgrade to Vista instead of reloading XP (couldn't find the **** CDs to reinstall XP). Now, my ipod doesn't show up in itunes and I get that **** "ipod is synced with another library.. do you want to erase this ipod and sync with "this" itunes lib." box. "This" itunes library consists only of songs I've purchased from itunes.... none of the cd music is there. and the only option that itunes seems to be giving me is to blow away what's on my 'pod now and install the tiny library of itunes purchases. The wierd thing is, it's all on the same **** computer... just the OS changed (from XP to Vista).
What I WAMT to do is somehow get itunes to see my 'pod and copy the music that's on my pod back into itunes where it all came from in the first place and put my latest itunes purchases (since changing OS's) on my 'pod. Jeeze. sounds so simple. Unbelieveable.

TIA for any help.

In iTunes, go to the File Menu and select the 'Add to Library' option.
In the window that appears navigate to the folder that has all the music from the old version of iTunes (i.e. where the music is currently stored on your computer), and select the folder.
This should then add all the music back into your iTunes (it may make a copy)
You will now be able to connect your iPod and let it sync to the computer.

You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?
