Nano Songs not showing up in iPod  "other" category is 2.11gb, but no audio

Hi, I just got my iPod Nano 4GB today.
I had 500 songs on earlier, plugged it back into the computer to charge, a screen with "AutoSync" popped up and it ran. Now when I go in iPod ALL my songs are gone. iTunes says my iPod has 2.11GB used for "Other" and 1.58GB free. So something is on the iPod, but I cant find it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks MS

I am adding them as normal via itunes - dragging and dropping as my ipod is set up for manual rather than automatic update. Have been using an ipod for about four years and always done it this way without a problem.
The ipod is showing up in itunes, but as if it is empty (ie no music showing up) despite the fact that it says 25G is being used. Also, all the music i transferred yesterday onto the ipod - which is the only thing showing up as if it is on there when you look at it on itunes - is not actually on there at all....
It's a mystery!

  • Songs not showing up in iPod. Please help!

    Okay, today I noticed that there are select songs not showing up on my iPod touch.
    I make playlists for all my music...and some songs will be in the playlists, and some aren't.
    So when I search for the songs with artists or song name, it's actually ON my iPod and I can play it. Just not in the playlist I put it in.
    So I check on iTunes to make sure they are in the playlist, and they are. And playable.
    So why aren't some of the songs selectable in the playlists? They are on the iPod, but just not in the playlists. PLEASE HELP

    Anyone?

  • Songs not showing up in iPod...

    Hello, I was hoping I could get some help here.
    I dowlnoaded 3 new songs to itunes (from a folder on my computer; I used File>Add Folder to Library) but for some reason they do not show up on my ipod. The songs are in mp3 format, so I do not think I need to convert them. Usually, syncing the ipod in itunes helps, but the little bar that is supposed to show up on top when your ipod is syncing...doesn't.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    bywybabs,
    I don't know what kind of computer you have. If you have a Window's PC it's possible it added the files to your folder "Music" "iTunes" "iTunes Music". If you are able to view the files in your "Music Folder" and they are not in your iTunes Library when you open iTunes. Then find the songs in your "Music" folder and double left click on each song. It should automatically import them into iTunes. I'm not sure why add folder to library did not work.

  • Songs not showing up on iPod or in iTunes  :(((

    My iPod is showing up in iTunes, but none of the songs or playlists can be seen on the iPod or on the computer .. Sometimes, right after I connect the iPod to the computer, there's a yellow baloon which tells me that the file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\iTunesPref is corrupt and unreadable and I should run the Chdsk utility. What is This Chdsk utility anyway?
    Thank you for your time..

    Okay, I have restored my iPod and also managed to copy some songs in iTunes which now also show up on the iPod. Which is great. But that only happened once.
    Right after I copied one music album in iTunes, the iPod disconnected itself. This happens now everytime I connect the iPod to the computer and iTunes gets started..
    what should I do?
    P.S: Oh, and thanks a lot for your previous answer, it's been a great help..at least for the moment

  • Songs not showing on 30gig iPod, but are showing on iTunes when attached

    Hello. My iPod has about 5.25 gig of music, video and podcasts loaded. It was working fine. I connected it to my computer to charge and the next time I tried to use it, nothing is showing up on the iPod itself. However, when I reconnect it to my computer, the iPod shows up under Source and all of the playlists and songs are there. Also, when I go into Settings > About, it says Songs 0, Videos 0, Photos 0, Capacity 27.8 GB, Available 22.5 GB, Version 1.1.1, model MA146LL. Thanks for any help!

    That backup only works if you have the files on the computer not on the ipod. You have the ability to take all the data off of your ipod but it will duplicate everything that is already in the library. To do this follow these steps:
    This is what you will want to do, you will want to go into the tools menu in your windows explorer. Select folder options, click on the view tab. Once you are on the view tab, click on the folder that says hidden files and folders. On the hidden files and folders click show hidden files and folders. Then click ok on the folder options window. When you open the ipod now you will see the ipod control folder. In that folder there will be a music folder. Open that. There will be a number of folders that will begin with F00 you will want to go into the folder and you will see a bunch of song files with coded names. You will want to drag them to where it says library in itunes. The songs will automatically rename themselves to the correct name. Go through each one of the folders like this and your library will be restored.
    The only thing that I would tell you is that this will duplicate all the songs in your library. So I would clear your entire library before you start this process

  • TS3716 installed the new itunes and now my ipod nano  does not show in the device menu

    installed the new itunes and now my ipod nano  does not show in the device menu

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

    Hello,  I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out.  Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible.  I have a Match subscription and Match is working.  If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them.  I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?
