My songs from my iPod won't show up on iTunes!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!??

I got a new laptop and i downloaded iTunes on it. Usually, I would've went to my computer but it's broken. I downloaded all my music on my computer. When I downloaded iTunes on my laptop and connected my iPod, the songs on my iPod didn't show up. I still have the songs on my iPod but now on iTunes. I tried syncing it but the songs still didn't show up. How do I fix this? I wanna replace some album artwork and stuff but I can't if my songs aren't showing up on iTunes. Help? Tnx

  • I upgraded from a iPod touch to a iPad. Now my playlists from the iPod won't show up in iTunes.

    My iPod still has my playlists. But when I sync with iTunes, they don't transfer over. I'm trying to export the playlists so I can import them to the new iPad.

    I'm on iOS 8.1 by the way. I forgot to update my phone information before posting.

  • My iPod won't show up in iTunes but it does in my pc, isn't iTunes problem!

    My iPod won't show up in iTunes, but it does in My Pc. And I want to say that is not an iTunes problen, cause I have an iPod nano, and it works perfect with iTunes and with windows. My iPod won't show up in any computer at all, so I have read all the articles here in Support, and none of them give me a solution. I need to restore my iPod but I can't cause doesn't appear in the source list in iTunes. Do I have to send it to Technical Support? Please Help Me someone, cause I've been posting messages for one week now, and I haven't got an answer!! Pleaseee!!

    You can try putting it into disk mode to see if it makes it easier on iTunes to recognize it.
    To put your iPod into disk mode:
    1) make sure your hold switch is OFF (NO ORANGE SHOWING)
    2) hold the menu button and the center button at the same time for about 6-10 seconds until you see an apple logo
    3) AS SOON AS you see the apple logo, release the two buttons and hold down center and play/pause
    4) If you've done this properly you should now see Disk Mode Ok To Disconnect with a checkmark (when connected to your computer you should see Do Not Disconnect with Disk Mode at the top)
    After you have the iPod in disk mode...see if iTunes picks it up then.
    Keep me update.

  • Is there a way to delete songs from an ipod without having to connect to iTunes?

    is there a way to delete songs from an ipod without having to connect to iTunes?

    Does delete (from the iPhone) really delete the songs from the iPhone, or just hide the songs?
    I normally list "By artist".  I can delete an album (by swiping on the album sidways and then pressing delete), and the album (and all the songs) don't appear in the music player on the iPhone; But when I look at music in iTunes for the iPhone, the songs are still there.
    I'm confused.

  • IPod won't show up on itunes or mac, freezes, and doesn't play bought songs

    Okay i have four issues with my iPod
    1. It won't show up on iTunes or on Mac desktop
    2. When i plug it into the USB port it freezes and say 'Do Not Disconnect'. It will not come out of this
    3. Every single song i have bought won't play on my iPod. They transfer fine, but when i click on a bought song it simply skips over it
    4. I authorized this computer but songs still need authorizing, and i have already authorized them
    So we bought a new Mac and i plugged in my 30 GB video iPod for the first time. It showed up in iTunes then so i synced it to our new computer. Then i tried to listen to my bought songs and they simply wouldn't play. The iPod just skipped over them. I had one song out of three hundred or so that were bought actually play. Then i tried reauthorizing my new computer and getting rid of all the old computers that had been authorized. That didn't work, and the songs that actually needed to be authorized wouldn't be authorized even when i clicked on them.
    So then i unplug and just listen to it as is for awhile but then i try plugging it in again and it just doesnt show up on my Mac desktop or iTunes. And the screen becomes frozen with the same message, 'Do Not Disconnect' I wait for a half an hour for it to show up and it never does. I have no choice to unplug it and then it is still frozen with that same message. Five hours pass, and it is still like that. It finally goes off and then it simply doesnt work. So i plug it in to my charger and its fine except the whole not playing bought songs business.
    Please i beg if you have any answers to any of these problems HELP!!!!!

  • Songs from my iPod won't copy to my new computer. PLEASE HELP.

    I just purchased a new computer and i'm trying to transfer my music files from my iPod on to my new computer. I have already made it so i manually update the ipod and and i can select the songs. I have also already made it so the files from my iPod will be added to my iTunes music folder. But when i click consolidate to copy the songs into the iTunes music folder nothing happens, I get a message verifying that i want to consolidate, and even when i click "consolidate". Nothing happens, I have tried numerous times but nothing ever happens. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    I do not believe, no matter how your ipod is set up, that iTunes will allow you to copy off the iPod. However, there are many programs that will copy the songs off your iPod and into iTunes. YOu can either search google for a "ipod ripper" or search the threads for a topic that says getting songs of your ipod. Hope this helps. I personally use a software called ipod accesss, which has a mac verion as well i believe. Hope this helps...

  • Ipod won't show up in iTunes

    Okay, after searching through these forums, I've found a ton of possible solutions, but they do not seem to be working for me.
    Yesterday I subscribed to several new Podcasts. I connected my 60GB ipod photo and it synced just fine and loaded my new podcasts. Later that day, I imported a few more songs and downloaded some more new podcasts. When I tried to connect my ipod again it won't show up in iTunes or on the desktop. Here's what I've tried so far:
    5 r's several times. The only one I haven't done is the restore, since iTunes won't recognize the iPod, I can't restore the iPod software. I've tried to reset my iPod alot, both when it is connected to the powerbook and when it is unplugged.
    Checked cable. I think the cable is ok, because when I plug my iPod into my powerbook the ipod charges fine, but won't load in iTunes. I don't have another cable to try though.
    Attempted to put the iPod in disk mode, and still couldn't get the computer to recognize it at all.
    I'm planning on taking it to the apple store to see if I can connect it to another apple computer, but thought I'd check here first. Thanks in advance.
    EDIT: The ipod still charges and plays without any issues.

    I have had the same issue. I tried an archive and install of Tiger. iTunes did not show the iPod at first. I left the iPod plugged in to the Mac, quit iTunes, then restarted iTunes. The iPod then showed up in the Source list.

  • Songs from 1G ipod won't play on 5G ipod

    I recently upgraded to an 5G ipod from an 1G ipod, transferring my itunes library to the new ipod. A sizable number of tracks won't play on the new ipod. They just get skipped over. There doesn't seem to be anything exotic about the tracks, they were all ripped to AAC using itunes directly from the original CD.
    For example, I've got an entire CD (Ken Burns Jazz, FWIW) where none of the tracks will play. If I try to play the entire album on the ipod the unit just skips from one track to the next, not playing any of them. They all play fine in iTunes.
    I'd guess about 1/5 of my songs won't play, and so far I haven't been able to find a way to predict which tracks will or will not play, based on bit rate or any other specs.

    ive had that issue, even tho i didnt transfer songs
    this one time i deleted my itunes library files from my documents/mymusic by accident, and my itunes library was blank
    i re added all my stuff back in, and then i plugged in ipod and like ur case, half the songs didng play. and plus, every song had the same album art. every single song that had an albumb art showed a ludacris red light district artwork.
    i restored the ipod with the ipod software, and reloaded my whole library again.. took forever but it worked

  • Playlist I made on my ipod won't show up in itunes

    So! I have a new ipod touch fourth gen I did the software update recent and it just majorly screwed my iPod up more
    than anything else. I was capable of fixing the other issues by myself, but now for whatever reason after making a playlist
    on my ipod it will not show up in itunes. Recently added, recently played, and top 25 are there, just not the one I made on
    my ipod away from itunes. Any ideas and or remedies?! Much appreciated.

  • The songs on my ipod won't sync on to itunes.

    I have bought all my songs on my ipod but they will not sync onto the computer, it says accessing itunes for a long period of time (more than an hour), help?

    Try just redownloading them on your copmputer. Sounds like an Apple server problem.

  • I bought my friend's old ipod, she wants some songs back but they won't show up on iTunes. How do i get them back?

    My friend upgraded to a touch and in turn gave me her old classic. She put a whole bunch of music on there from different cd's but after seeing what she still had on it she realized she lost some of those songs on her computer. I tried to get them off with the transfering puchased music, but they won't come off! She bought this music fair in square and would like to have them back. How in the world do i get them back to her?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    As the songs came from her computer in the first place, so they should still be there and should be included in her regular backup copy of her computer.
    You need to restore the ipod, erasing all of the music as you have no legal right to it.
