My iPod won't display any info or sync with iTunes

This is seriously annoying!
When I connect my iPod Touch 4G with iTunes (fully updated) it comes up under Devices and has the sync arrows button but no arrow!
I can't see any information and it doesn't sync at all.
This is important because I have no songs on my iPod
Please help me

  • Ipod won't display song info under "Now Playing"

    I searched for this, but couldn't find an answer. My 60GB IPOD works fine, plays fine and displays info (and movies, photos, etc.) correctly in all areas except the "Now Playing" screen, at which point it won't display any info (song title, artist, album art, etc.)
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    My ipod had this exact same problem.

  • Ipod Classic Randomly Loses Tracks/Songs when sync with Itunes

    My IPod Classic Randomly loses Songs from playlists. I can sync with iTunes and it will keep say 8 songs out of 10 in a playlist (sometimes all 10 if I’m lucky) but if you re sync it will have 7 or 9 different tracks in the playlist. Its Very annoying as my girlfriend uses it for teaching and songs are always missing.
    I have tried updating IPod, re-installing ITunes and restoring IPod
    Any Ideas??? Apart from buy a new one but from what I can guess seems like a software issue.
    Thanks

    I was having the same problem. 
    I have an i pod classic 80GB (with the wheel) I think it's 5th generation
    I would start a Sync, it would sync 2 or 3 songs then stop or hang up, which did not interfere with any other function, so I would not say it froze.
    Once I ended the sync by clicking on the X next to the sync progress bar at the top of the window, I ejected the ipod and then plugged it in again.  Then  I selected my i pod under Devices in the menu on the left-hand side of iTunes.  Clicked on the summary tag.  Clicked on  "Manually manage music and videos" Clicked ok and apply.
    When in manual mode, you cn drag songs from  iTunes to the device icon in the sidebar. Once I downloaded the song or songs or album that was causing the problem, I then unselected manual load, and everything else was able to sync normally on automatic mode.

  • MacBook pro won't shut down only after sync with iTunes?

    MacBook pro stays on blue screen with spinning gear when I try to shut down only if I have synced either an iPhone or iPad with iTunes. If i have not synced with iTunes the shut is ok.
    Any suggestions would be great :)

    I had the same problem and just fixed it.
    What I did:
    - Launch Disk Utility > Select Macintosh HD > Verify Disk
    Let the Verify run until it's done
    - If you are seeing any error try the Repair disk
    It's possible you need to restart (holding cmd+r while restarting)
    - Next I did a verify disk permissions and a repair disk permissions
    - reboot
    After this the shutdown issue was gone!
    Hope this solves your problem as well.

  • IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 upgrade issues; back-up won't load and unable to sync with iTunes

    I've just updated my iPhone4 to iOS 6.0.1 and went through the back-up routine.  The back-up routine appeared to partially update, displaying an error, however has brought through my contacts, previous messages and has even maintained my bluetooth connection with the car. The phone appears to function ok although it will now not sync with my iTunes and so will not download music and Apps to the phone.  I've tried to re-run the back-up however it just hangs with a message box advising that it is 'Estimating time remaining', a message that just hangs there for ages with no apparent actions (by ages I mean 15 minutes +).
    Any advice would be much appreciated; to say this is extremely frustrating is an understatement.
    Many thanks.

    Hello, having the same problem, but the answer by KiltedTim is too simplistic. Butcher60, any news? I have tried removing everything, still the same. It is true that Vista fails loading the driver, but, in my case, I noticed that:
    - if you reboot the sistem, the first time you connect any ios device, it is detected either by vista and by itunes. BUT if you disconnect it and connect it again, or connect another ios device, it is not detected enymore, neither by vista nor by i tunes, and you get the message, in managing resources, that the drivers of Apple mobile devices cannot be initialized (code 37)!!! This is so bad when you are doing an update (it is what happened to me), because, if you connect the device the first time, and then start the update, when reaching the point in which the device reboots, it is like connecting it for the second time, itunes does not detect it, and the device goes in recovery mode, so you must use another computer (with XP no such a problem, it seams) to complete it.
    - BUT the problem is not only by vista, something happend with itunes 10.7, because I went back to a recovery point before itunes last version, and the driver are loaded by vista every time, only when using itunes 10.7 the same error occurs, and I did not find any solution (because downgrading itunes is not possible)
    So, vista worked detecting ios devices before ios6 and itunes 10.7, it works without itunes 10.7 detecting every device, but it does not work with last i tunes. Can someone do something???

  • IPod touch will not turn on or sync with iTunes

    I was listening to music on my iPod and i paused it. When i looked back at my ipod it had a black screen so i figured it was just in like the sleep mode or whatever it is. but when i hit the button for the screen to come back up nothing happened. i tried hitting and holding the on, off button and nothing. I got home and plugged it in and nothing happens. I hope someone can help me with this because my iPod isnt even 2 months old.

    I have had the same problem.
    I was using Safari and clicked the lock button. Came back and thought my iPod was flat. I have tried charging it with a charger in two different powerpoints and then with my computer and nothing. I have tried resetting it and have tried to connect it to iTunes but my computer will not even find the device.
    Any Solutions?

  • Please help me. ipod touch not turning on and not syncing with itunes!!!!

    ok. so i tried to turn on my ipod touch and when i pressed the button on the top and the little square one on the bottom it didnt work. it was just a black screen. i tried holding down each button (seperatly and together) but it still didnt work. so i thought maybe plugging my ipod into itunes would work. but when i plugged it into itunes the ipod didnt even come up in the side bar thing, like it usually does. and the screen was still black.
    please please please please please help me

    try putting your ipod touch into dfu mode by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 10 seconds, then let go of the sleep/wake button (make sure it is connected to your computer) and continue to hold the home button for 10 to 15 seconds or until itunes reads it as an ipod touch in recovery mode that needs to be restored, if you need more help on this just go to youtube and type in dfu mode in the search field

  • IPod won't display songs in MyMusic folder; can't copy songs to iPOd

    I formatted my HD. I copied the library of the iPod back onto the computer into MyMusic. However my iPod won't display any of the songs that I recopied onto the computer. I was forced to reformat the iPod. My song library is in MyMusic the whole time but the iPod won't display any of it. How can I get my iPod to display the songs in MyMusic? I can't copy the songs onto the iPod as the songs are already in MyMusic.

    Yes. I can see it there and play it as well...I just can't get it to transfer to my ipod from the itunes library. And it only happened with a few songs and I don't know what I did to make it so that it only trasferred to my library and not my ipod. But it is playable and viewable in my library and only when it is connected. Otherwise only the songs that are already on my ipod are viewable.
    Does that make sense?
    Let me know if it doesn't
    Thanks so much

  • Ipod touch will not Sync with Itunes

    Roomate deleted most of my music on my ipod touch and now it will not sync with itunes when I try to put the music back on.

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - have you tried a different cable/USP port?
    - Assuming a PC look here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - you may have to place your iPod in recovery mode to get iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • I have a 5th gen that won't display any video out

    I have a 5th gen that won't display any video out. I've tried 2 different splitter cables out of the earphone jack. I've tried plugging the RCA cables into different colors on the tv. Thought it was just a problem with the cables until tonight when I got a Sonic Impact V55. Video won't display on it either. I have the TV setting to ask. After it asks and I say yes, I get a picture of an Ipod cable connector and a message saying: TV OUT
    ENABLED Please Connect Video Accessory.
    This message happens on both splitter cables and using the dock connection on the V55. I've restored, reset, nothing has helped.
    I did see a couple of posts regarding the V55 and whether the 5th gen would work on it. Does anyone have a v55 that the ipods working with? Heck the box says it works with Ipod 5th gen.

    It goes trough the place where you put youre dock conector in (on the bottom)
    Yes it does, on the 5th generation (pre-Classic) models, the video does indeed feed out the headphone jack (as well as out the dock connector on the bottom).

  • Messages app won't display any windows

    My Messages app (v 7.0.1) intermittently won't display any windows, not even the Preferences. I've tried reloading the app from Time Machine, but it won't let me replace an the current version.
    I'm running a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3.2 GHz under 10.8.5.
    Any ideas?

    HI,
    The Time Machine version needs to be the same version as is used in OS X 10.8.5
    This will be version 7.0.1 which came with the OS X 10.8.2 update.
    the Process should be to go to Applications and find the Messages app.
    Then use the Time Machine icon in the Dock.
    This will reduce the window and display the galaxy in the background.
    On the right are the arrows and dates for moving "back in time".
    The window should also have become "stacked" with those older versions behind.
    Changing the date should file through the stacked windows until the process finds a change to the Applications Folder.
    If you went back until a change in Messages you probably got the wrong version (or a version that will not work with a later version of the OS).
    Try this:-
    In any Finder window use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that now appears in the Menu list
    Navigate to Preferences.
    Find com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and restart the app.
    This .plist holds the windowing Info for the app.
    I am presuming you have tried the keystrokes seen in the Window Menu of Messages ?
    however it also holds all the info about the Preferences except for the accounts.
    This means any change you have made from the Defaults will be reset.
    The Messages section on Fonts and Colours is the most commonly changed.
    All the Alerts will be reset if you changed them.

  • Private Photos App - pictures not displaying This app was working fine, then suddenly it won`t display any of the photos.

    This app was working fine, then suddenly it won't display any of the photos. One day the photos were there, gone the next. It still shows how many photos are there but just shows a white screen. I can't export anything to the photo album. Adding photos to existing folders yields the same result, only white screen displayed. However, I can create new albums and add photos to those without issue. Does anybody know how to recover the "missing" photo"  I was going to try reinstalling the app but it's no longer available in the iTunes App Store. Thanks, Tracy

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210a all-in-one won't display any networks in the list.

    Hi, I recently purchased a HP Photosmart Plus all in one printer and I've been having trouble with it from day one.
    First off, it won't connect wirelessly.
    It won't display any networks in the list when searched for, it won't take my network details when I manually input them and it won't take any static IP address I've tried from other suggestions.
    Secondly, the print quality is very bad. Streaks and fading are occuring and after using up 70% of my ink trying to sort it out through troubleshooting it's still bad.
    It's extremely important for me to be able to have web access using the printer as all members of my household use it and it'll get fustrating having to car laptops and computers around to print.
    Can anybody help at all?

    Top line says "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support"
    I take this as a very bad sign and needs replacing?
    The tests I done produce streaks, fading and lines. I printed off two photos, one from a memory card and one from a scan. The memory card produced heavy blocked lines of color and the scan was just dull.
    I'm using a Wanadoo Wireless Livebox and Windows 7 64 Bit
    One other question... is this like a brilliant printer for photos mainly? I'm a Graphics design student and although my final prints are made from home I would like accurate and decent printouts for my portfolios. Should I keep this or go for another one with similar features and better print quality?
