No music in ipod, but says there is!?

when i was updating my ipod and charged it i disconnected it and left it alone then i wantd to listen to it and nothing was on it. then when i plugged it in my computer it said i have no space on my i-pod but nothing was on it. i cant figure it out
some help PLEASE!!!
  Windows XP  

The same also happened to the my Nano and I've reset it 3 times and restored twice to no avail. I think it may have to do with the "auto-sync" with Windows Media Player but when I attempt to completely wipe it and have no music in the iPod library it still has almost half of the space filled up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • My apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. can't restore.

    my apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.

  • IPad iPod app says there is no music... OS 4.3.3.

    Have the original iPad--  iPod app says there is no music, but there are 918 songs sync'd and loaded. Have updated to OS4.3.3. Any advice/troubleshooting tips?

    It's happened to me a couple of times, and I've 'fixed' it be removing any song via iTunes and then copying it back onto the iPad. An alternative (though I didn't try it when it happened to me) is have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Trying to sync music onto iPod but iTunes 11 keeps crashing

    I am trying to sync my entire iTunes library music onto iPod but iTunes 11 keeps crashing (using Windows 8 laptop)
    I have tried to do it manually in little chunk and also tried the auto sync method too.
    I have restored my ipod to factory setting 12 times now and retry but just when I think I'm getting somewhere iTunes freezes in the middle of the sync and then tell me it "cannot copy  because of unknown error (-50)"
    From then on my Ipod refuses to accept any more syncing, it may do one and then it freezes again, iTunes says there is an issue with iPod, so I run a scan fix, it is repaired but then iTunes wants me to "restore to factory settings" again, it's a never ending circle, I get it fixed, iTunes crashes and then I have to fix, restore and start all over again just to have the same thing happen all over again
    I have read here and there that there seems to be a bug in iTunes 11 when it comes to syncing.
    I don't know what else to do, except revert back to iTunes 10 but I don't know how to do that either.
    Anyone else had same issue syncing their library over to their iPod and how I fix it?

    Hi, ktchinagirl. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple reason this issue could be happening.  I have included a couple troubleshooting resources below that may help resolve this issue.  Some of the articles are missing the steps for Windows 8, try the steps for Windows 7 as an alternative. 
    iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3219
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

    This could be related to security software conflicts.  If the steps above have not resolved the issue, I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required. help

    I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required??? I checked when last auto update was done which was 01/07/12 I also tried downloading from web iTunes version 11.1.5 but it wont load because I don't have min version 10.6.8. What can I do to sort this out? Note: I am a not computer savy so be easy on me.

    If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
    the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
    would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
    for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
    the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
    system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
    that system.
    Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
    the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
    Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
    to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
    even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
    If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I am trying to update my apps on my 4s but says there is not enough space. It shows i have 19.3 GB of 25 GB. Also, in my itunes...it shows about a quarter of space on the bar is photos but I took all the photos out. Don't make sense.

    It's telling you there's not enough space *on your 4S*.  The 25GB you refer to is probably that on iCloud, that's different memory than that on your iPhone.  You need to delete video, pictures, apps, or whatever ON THE IPHONE, to make enough room for downloading updates to your apps.

  • Showing no music on IPOD but it says 21 gb used.  Help please!

    I went to play some music on my 32gb ipod touch today and when I pushed the music button it says there are no songs on my ipod. So I went into setting and it also says there are no songs but then it says there are 7gb empty space left and I know there is over 20gb of music that I put on there. What happened and how do I fix it? The only thing I did differently when I put the last songs on my ipod was that I just took out the cable instead of ejecting it.
    I need your help please. I'm going away for the weekend this afternoon and need some tunes in the car.

    Hey jacobc4,
    It sounds like the data on the iPod touch is corrupt. iTunes may have been syncing the iPod when you disconnected.
    Try resetting the iPod.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    If that does not work you'll need to restore the iPod.

  • IPod 160GB says there is nothing on it, but only has 148GB space

    I was putting music on my 160GB when my power surged and turned off the computer. My iPod had about 12GB of space used on it, but now it says there is no music or videos. When I look at it in iTunes, there is only 148GB of space available, so all of that music must be on there somewhere.
    What I want to do is, if possible, restore all the music. I tried doing the 5 R's, but that didn't work. If that isn't possible, I would like to completely wipe out the iPod, reverting it back to it's 160GB state. Any ideas?

    This process started in the early days when Hard Drives were really small and marketing departments thought it was a big deal to make a disk seem a little bigger than it really is. Also many folks from cutomers to salespeople found it difficult to calculate using binary numbers so it seemed simpler to just decimalize the GB numbers. No body felt ripped off because all the numbers were small anyway.
    Now that common disk sizes have grown huge the difference between 160 and 148 is significant and people do feel ripped off when they notice. Unfortunately the use of decimal GB sizes is entrenched in the industry. When Apple buys the HD to put in the iPod they are buying a 160 Gb drive and all 160GB drives from all manufacturers will have 160 printed on the exterior while still having only 148GB(binary) Nothing Apple can do to stop that.

  • IPod Classic says there is No Music; no difference in Memory

    I have an iPod Classic that I got in 2007. It's been working fine except today it says there is no music in it. However it shows no difference in the memory that's being used. For some reason, the documents in the memory's being read as "Other" instead of "Audio."
    This is quite distressing as I'm sure many of you can sympathize. Please help me out.

    I just bought one of the new Macbook Pros on Friday. I was using a White 13" Macbook until the logic board decided to go out about a week ago. I thought that I might as well get a new computer instead of putting in a new board so I got one of the new 15" intel core i5 pros. My iPod is a silver 160 gb that was previously synced to the white mb.
    Upon the first connection to the new mbpro, iTunes started freaking out and wouldn't respond and I had to force quit iTunes. I ejected my iPod from the computer (correctly) and then noticed that iTunes was still acting weird after reopening. I looked at my iPod and realized that there was no music on my iPod. I then checked the "about" section of my iPod to find that the hd still had 92 gb used but categorized as other.
    Now, I cannot figure out how to get my music back and why iTunes continues to freeze every time I connect my iPod. Please help!!! (I was slightly frustrated about the logic board but these recent problems occurring after dropping over $2100 on the new mbpro are really irritating me)

  • Itunes sync music to ipod but music not visible in ipod once disconnected

    Hi,
    my ipod nano refuses to show any songs I've synchronized.
    it all started last week, I connected the nano to charge the battery and change my music selection.
    Itunes (v 8.1 (50)) told me something like it had to erase the ipod for some reasons. I didn't care, all music in on itunes anyway so I did it.
    I click on the Ipod device.
    On the summary tab, I have the "sync only checked songs and videos" (and "manually manage music and videos" is unchecked)
    I click the "apply" button
    then I add some playlists (from the music tab), select a few playlists
    I can see the sync happening, it tooks a few minutes and I saw all the audio files being copied over until I see "iPod sync is complete"
    the capacity now shows 2 gb for audio
    I disconnected the ipod and browse my music but the ipod says there is no audio at all.
    I reconnect the ipod to the imac, I browse the music from the device in itunes and I see that all music is greyed out.
    In the summary tab of the ipod, I uncheck "sync only checked songs and videos" and check "manually manage music and videos" and click apply
    songs are not greyed out anymore in itunes but when I disconnect the ipod I still can't see any music on the ipod.
    I bet this has to do with the itunes update I installed a week ago.
    I only use my ipod with my imac, no other computer and it was always working fine until last week.
    What is going on? Can anyone help?

    I have the same problem: and have not been able to get an answer. Please keep posted if you get an answer
