New user - songs listed thru ITunes but do not display on iPod

Hi all, looking for some assistance. I got a green 4GB nano for Christmas, and I downloaded the latest iTunes software. I've hooked up the the USB and put in a new CD to add to my music library. All uploaded and it indicated that the songs were being loaded into my iPod. When I look in iTunes under my device, I see the songs but NOTHING shows up on my iPod at all??? I click music - songs (nothing there) nothing under any heading at all? What the heck am I doing wrong. Thanks!!!!!!! - Sam
P.S. when docked is it normal to have the read out say "do not disconnect" constantly? I can't access any menus when it's docked as well.
** I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to figure this thing out!!! * thanks all!!

The same thing happend to me on my 2GB nano I got for Christmas at first the songs went on perfectly and then they just dissapeared! It said I had them still on my nano but it didnt show it. And everytime I plug my ipod in it says ''Do not disconnect'' for like ever.

  • I SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, AND i CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HELP

    I just bought my apple tv yesterday and SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, I CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

  • I updated the spelling of a song in my itunes but its not reflecting when i check my ipod. this never happened before when after i updated to IOS5. please help.

    Try unsyncing the sone and then resyncing. That works sometimes. Sometimes restoring from backup works. Other times nothing seems to work.. Yuo are not alone since iOS5 and iTunes 10.5/6.

  • New user of Firefox. Webpage I made not displaying correctly in Firefox but OK in Win IE. Why is this?

    Im new to Firefox. Just found out the website Im maintaining does not display correctly with Firefox but OK with Win IE. Why is this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I'm going to make a prediction here:
    The webpage will contain a lot of code written specifically to the non-standards compliant way IE works, and will also "not display correctly" in the following standards compliant browsers:
    Chrome
    Safari
    Opera
    and the solution will be to code the pages according to the standards meant to be followed so it displays correctly in all non-IE browsers, '''then''' see how it displays in IE.

  • Music shows in my library in Itunes but will not update on Ipod?

    I had to copy my music from my ipod to a new computer. Followed the steps that I located on an apple discussion. Reloaded and then tried to connect my ipod knowning that I would lose my playlists. Instead, it wiped out my entire ipod. How do I reload the songs?

    No I sure didn't. Nobody ever answered my question. I can burn disks off itunes but my ipod is completely unusable. Nice product.
    Are you getting the:
    "Songs on the iPod '_ iPod' cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist." Comment??

  • Why all the songs on my iTunes library do not synchronize onto iPod?

    There are about 200 songs on my iTunes library, but when I synchronize with my iPod, less than half of them end up on the portable device.
    What's wrong?

    Thanks for the help guys... iTunes is up and running (on my PC) however when I plug in the iphone it just doesn't connect to it, so I guess it must be itunes fault, however I have restarted my computer and this hasn't helped either
    The iPhone is still stuck in recovery mode?
    If the iPhone is not detected you will need to try other USB ports on the PC or try other USB cables. You could also try another PC/ Mac is you have one available to see if the PC is at fault.

  • My ipod touch shows up in Itunes, but does not display sync screen.

    It does not sync or backup. The backup bar gets stuck at about 5%. I have removed and reinstalled iTunes several times and still nothing. I have also restored the ipod and that did nothing as well. Please help

    No error messages. I just can't drag anything into my music folder and if I check a playlist, artist, song or anything the "apply" button stays greyed out and I can't sync.

  • My iPod touch was stolen.. and recovered.. but the kid that stole it cleared my iPod and "made it his own".. it has a password that makes me unable to use it.  I have tried to restore thru iTunes but it won't let me without the password.. HELP !

    My iPod touch was stolen.. and recovered.. but the kid that stole it cleared my iPod and "made it his own".. it has a password that makes me unable to use it.  (He won't give up the password).  I have tried to do the restore thru iTunes but the "note" from iTunes says it is unable to restore without the current password.. is there anyway around this... HELP !

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • 2nd Gen Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download new song

    My Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download newly purchased songs.  It is Ipod nano 2nd gen.

    If you want to use automatic syncing, you may need to set up or update the iPod's Music sync settings in iTunes.  If the new songs are not included in what gets synced to the iPod, they will not sync.
    If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select it there, to show its Summary screen to the right.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music, if not already checked. This is the "switch" to enable automatic syncing for songs.
    NOTE:  If Sync Music is not already checked, that means the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music.  Setting up automatic syncing will replace the iPod existing content.  If you want to add the new songs manually to the iPod (instead of using automatic syncing), please post back.
    If your iTunes library fits on the iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod from the lists.
    One convenient way to set this up is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with ALL of the songs you want on the iPod.  Or you can use existing playlists.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select those playlists under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selection(s) to the iPod (replacing its existing content).  Going forward, to update the iPod, you can just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  If you have new songs, add them to a playlist that is synced to the iPod.  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates your iPod with the same changes.

    Are you manually managing your songs?
    In itunes - music do you see checkmarks next to your musis/songs.  IF so go find your new songs click on it and then sync your music again.
