No songs appear on the iPod after an apparently successful update from iTun

OK ... i know this subject is a copy/paste from the ipod suggestions page ... however, it pretty much says it all ...
i was given a used ipod with no tunes on it so i downloaded the latest itunes, installed it, plugged in the ipod, configured it (although i didn't see a place to check for *manual configuration*) and hit *sync ipod*
it didn't!
i have restored it a couple of time in hope it will see the tunes in itunes ... in fact, you can click on the ipod icon on the left side in itunes, it opens and the tunes are there but are grayed out .... when i disconnect the ipod from the computer, click on it, no songs are listed, plus it does not change to my name from ipod
how can i fix this .... thank you for any and all help ...

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Update and restore error messages on iPhone and iPod touch

I have tried importing / exporting my playlist from itunes; dragging songs from itunes to my ipod icon in the right corner; nothing is working. I want to put songs back on my ipod touch version 6.1.5 from itunes version 11.1.3.8; any one have any ideas

This is very fustrating I have tried a few different things I have seen on-line and nothing is working. My itunes is version 11.1.3.8 and my ipod touch is ios version 6.1.5. Since last Christmas I have a playlist called Christmas songs and I would like to move the songs back onto my ipod. Before I could drag the songs from under the songs list over to the right and a list including my ipod would show. It still does but when I do it now the songs do not show up in my ipod. I would appreciate any ideas to get this to work again.

ITunes won't take songs OFF of the iPod (iTunes 7, vid)

Hello!
Well, I"m loving the new stuff - mostly. However, I've noticed the "Purchased music transfer" is keeping around 400 MB of music on the iPod, after I've deleted it from the iTunes library.
Why would I delete 400 mb of songs (around 100) that I 'bought'? They were freebies and promotions over several months. I dropped them on an external drive and removed them from iTunes. When I sync either of my iPods (9-month old Vid/2 year old clickwheel), it prompts "There is purchased music on this iPod that is not in your iTunes library. Would you like to transfer?" No, I would not, I say. You see, I have only 900 MB free on my clickwheel, and I'd like to use those extra 400 MB for transfering files between my Macs (via FW Disk Mode).
In any case, I'm essentially looking for a way to restore the default iTunes 6-style iPod Syncing - that is, exactly the same on the iPod that it is on the iTunes library.
Tips?

Id3 tags for songs already on the ipod

I have properly edited my id3 tags for songs already on the ipod. How can I update the tags for the same music that is on my PC???

So, any idea on how to get the tags updated in the Library?
Yes. Repeat your edits on the songs in the Library.
In the future, don't edit stuff directly on the iPod. Edit it in iTunes and then sync the iPod to copy the changes to it.

None of the songs appear on my iPod?!

I'm hoping somebody can help me! The problem is: iTunes responds to my iPod and starts opdating it with the songs, but after a while there's a messagge saying that you can't read from the Ipod or write to it( sometimes it says error 36?!). And everytime I connect my iPod there's a message saying that I have to set the ipod and offers my to registrate it online... When my ipod is connected, itunes shows that some of the songs are on the ipod but when I try to use it none of the songs are on it, even though it appears so from itunes that 2,85 GB of the 20GB is being used.... grr I have had nothing but problems with my Ipod!

See if either of these two articles offer any help.

What should I do?

Hi Hirra,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've synced your iPod touch with iTunes, but the music doesn't appear on the device, you may want to try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the right article below. If you're syncing music, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.

When I upgraded to IOS5, my playlists no longer appear on the iPOD. When I do a Sync, the playlists appear, but will not sync to the iPOD. Any suggestions on how to resolve??

I would understand it if you checked email on your Mac, and then those messages were not available on your iOS devices if you had the advanced account setting "remove copy from server after retrieving message:" set to immediately.
I looked through my iPhone settings and don't even see an option to tell my phone to pull the only copy of a message and delete it from the server.
Possibly there is another setting in Lion (I am running Snow Leopard still) that tells your Mac to only synchronize mail to your iOs devices and is not pulling mail directly from iCloud.
You could try disabling your current iCloud email account in Mac Mail, and adding a new one and just telling Mail it is a standard IMAP account (imap.mail.me.com incoming and smtp.mail.me.com outgoing).
I did that for Leopard to get my email even to work after MobileMe is cancelled and it seems to work fine with my iPhone.
If that doesn't work, you can delete that new email account and re-enable the temporarily disabled iCloud email account from above.
Hope this helps.

How do I move songs/files on the iPod?

I would like to clean up some of the songs on my new 80 GB Video iPod. I notice that the same musical groups with slightly different spellings will be listed under artists with both spellings (example: Ah Ha & a-Ha). How do I move songs from one directory (a-Ha to Ah Ha)? I think I am running into problems because I used an mp3 cd to load some of these songs into iTunes (I dragged them to iTunes from the CD in Windows explorer). Also, I am unable to create a "Workout" playlist on the iPod. I can do this in iTunes, but the playlist and the songs do not appear on my iPod. There are 2 other playlists that were created when I dragged the files from the hard drive to iTunes. Is that the problem I am having? Another question: would it be best to move all my songs from their sources into the \My Music\iTunes directory? Will doing this make the songs from that directory synch with my iPod? Thank you.

"How do I move songs from one directory (a-Ha to Ah Ha)?"
Best way to cure this is to go into iTunes, highlight that artist and/or songs, right click on them and select "get info".
This brings up the multiple song info window. If you see the "artist" field is left blank, then there is a discrepancy with that name.
So to correct this, in the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. You should do this even if no mistakes are immediately visible.
Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.
If you want the music in your iTunes library to be accessible to it and transferrable to the ipod, all the music should be in your iTunes folder which is usually found at my music/iTunes/iTunes music.
You can do this by using the advanced/consolidate option in iTunes. This creates a copy of all the music found on your computer and places it in the iTunes music folder.

ITunes "Updates" every song synced to the iPod every time it is connected

Since the update of iTunes to 9.1.1, every time I connect my 3G iPod Touch (32GB) to my Macbook iTunes "Updates" every song synced to the iPod. I have seen this before when iTunes has a new revision, but it usually only happens the first time the iPod is attached after iTunes is updated. Now, it is happening every time.
I have restored the iPod to its virgin state, but that did not change anything. Any ideas?

The solution to this problem is at this link - http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20100505174126691
