My ipod syncs but will not show anything or play any music or videos.I have tried everything possible,rebooting the ipod reinstalling itunes but no matter what I try it will not show music or videos on my device,it keeps telling me it is empty.Help!

Ok my ipod touch syncs but not properly,I see a little icon on both itunes and the ipod rolling,itunes shows me that I have less memory available on my ipod after I sync which coresponds well in terms of memory with the ammount of songs I am loading to the ipod but I never see what I think I should see when I sync which is "do not disconnect......". I have tried rebooting the ipod and reinstalling itunes but to no avail. My ipod is brand new and everything works but for loading music and videos.I run itunes from windows xp. Help please!!

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Was it setup via wifi?
Setup via iTunes when connected to this coputer/iTunes library?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?           
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • HT1349 I can't sync my current itunes to the newer version of 10.5 because of bounjour saying it can't be changed or modified. I have tried to uninstall it and then reinstall itunes but the end result is the same, what can I do?

    It seems that I can't update my itunes because Bounjour 3.0.2. or something along those lines is missing from my computer or is corrupted. I have uninstalled itunes and then re-installed it but it won't accept the newer version of itunes. Is there a way I can fix this problem?

    THIS WILL SOLVE YOUR SYNC PROBLEMS ON ITUNES
    Header 2
    Start bar, then accessories, then RIGHT click command promt and run as admin
    Once the command prompt window opens, type in “Netsh winsock reset” at the end of the prompt. Like this:  C:\windows\system32_netsh winsock reset
    After it comes back “successful”, it will ask you to restart your computer. Do this.
    After the restart, start iTunes, DO NOT PLUGIN YOUR iPHONE/iPAD/iPOD YET!!
    Go to Edit > Preferences and click on Devices
    Check “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically” and click OK
    Now you can plug in your device
    Once iTunes recognizes your device, right clicked on your device and back it up that way first.
    And then performed a sync and all is well

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I can not get Firefox to reset to normal size. I have tried everything including reinstalling it. Only some webpages like Facebook are large & it will not reset but in IE it is normal. Please help because I hate IE & really do not want to use it!

    When I open Facebook and a few other webpages the screen size is large and some of the info will not appear. I have tried everything to reset the size and it does not work. I have even zoomed out and the missing info still does not appear. But if I log into IE it is just fine and all the info is there and is useable. I hate IE and do not want to use it so please help me fix this issue with Firefox.

    CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero) will reset your zoom level on affected pages. Firefox remembers the zoom level you last used on a page.

    iTunes Store for Windows. Everytime I try an access the iTunes Store it takes really long to connect and then it says iTunes store cannot be access. I think I am up to date with iTunes Verison, I Have 11.0.2.26 but no matter what I try it does not connect. HELP Please???

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

    Hello, 
    I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

  • Iphoto will not open my iPhoto library......have tried everything.  This has only happened in the last week.

    Iphoto will not open my iPhoto library......have tried everything.  This has only happened in the last week.
    I have tried everthing suggested on the forum.

    Did you follow these directions?
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

    Not sure if this will work, but you could try the app My Contacts Backup.  This will back up your contacts as an email attachement.  Send the email to yourself.  Then turn off contacts syncing (to erase the contacts from your phone), open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts to your phone.  You will still have to go through them and remove the duplicates but at least they should not be duplicated again.  (There is an app called
    Remove Duplicate Contacts and Events that claims to be able to find and remove duplicates but you'll have to read the reviews in the app store to decide if you want to try it.)

  • My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network, restarting the iPad

    My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network , restarting iPad , ...

    The same story. No 3G after updating to 6.1.  Told my daughter temporarily not to do an update on her iPad with 6.01. We've exchanged SIMs. I inserted her SIM in my iPad - 3G appeared immediately. And my SIM in her iPad with ios 6.01 also WORKS FINE. We use the same provider - Megafon Moscow. After attempting to revert SIMs to original configuration, 3G disappeared on my iPad again. Don't know what's going on with SIM during the update to 6.1

  • I am trying to extend my airport extreme signal to another airport extreme can this be done? I have tried several time using the automated set up but it keeps failing... What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to extend my airport extreme signal to another airport extreme can this be done? I have tried several time using the automated set up but it keeps failing... I have selected every possible security/password encryption level... What am I doing wrong? If it os possible where can I find step by step instructions? Please & Thank you!

    The challenge with the older round AirPort Extremes are that they are "g" wireless devices.
    When you configure them for WDS, the speed on the wireless network is cut in half...and probably will not have the bandwidth required to stream video reliably from either AirPort Extreme since both are affected by the WDS setup.
    There is not an "automated" setup for WDS. You have to do this manually on both AirPort Extremes. Unfortunately, it is not an easy configuration and it's easy to make a mistake and hard to recover without starting all over again.
    Apple's instructions for WDS are here if you want to give it a try.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4262
    It is possible that it might work. Keep us posted on your progress
    Adding a single AirPort Express will unfortunately not help. You have to have "n" wireless devices at all router points.
