Does ipod nano automatically pick up new purchases when I plug it in to the computer?

When I bring new music into my itunes library the song is checked. will the nano automatically pick up new purchases when I plug it in again? Or do I have to start over? I hit sync again but not sure whether I have to do that every time I charge it.

Depends on how you have your iPod set up to Sync. For example if your iPod is configured to sync only checked songs and videos, make sure each new track you add to iTunes has a tick mark next to it. The next time you sync your iPod (assuming it set up to automatically sync), the new tracks will be added.

When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting?

I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded?

I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded? I have also separately transferred all my music via my external drive from my dell to my iMac which is showing in iTunes but won't upload to my iPod... Just to confuse you even more my AppleTV which is linked to my log in email address and home sharing is showing and playing all the playlists I want to see on my iMac... Phew that was exhausting hope you understand and can help me:-)

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

HT1351 I just bought a new ipad and it doesn't show under my devices when I plug it in. I was already set up with my ipod touch. I just want to have access to my apps and music that are already in my itunes. How do I find my ipad and sync it?

I just purchased an ipad. When I plug it in to my computer it won't show under devices in itunes. I already have itunes set up for my ipod touch. I just want to share the music etc thats already there with both devices. How do I get my computer to recognize that the ipad is there?

The latest model requires iTunes 10.7 or higher. Check iTunes to make sure you're running a compatible version. If so, see:
iOS device not recognized in iTunes for Mac
iOS device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon. Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

My daughter's ipod nano shows up in "devices" when I plug it in...but it disappears. Right away it says it needs to update, but then after extracting the files it comes back and says that it can't be updated because it can't be unmounted. help?!

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Neither my iPod Touch nor my iPhone will show up in iTunes when I plug in through the USB cable. My software is updated, I've restarted everything, I've reset the devices, but still no luck. Help?!

You had a glitch and the music files got corrupted. I know of no way to uncorrupt them.
You can try using a computer app like iFunbox
http://dl.i-funbox.com/
to see if yo can get them from the iPod in a usable file.
Otherwise you will have to re import them to your computer and sync
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
