Playlists appear in itunes but not on sync list

I have recently exported my itunes library to a new lap top. Several playlists were lost but I wasn't that fussed. Itunes was newly installed on the laptop. When I plug in my iPhone (4) and select "music" only six playlists are available and five of those are the automatic ones created by itunes (recently updated, recently played etc).
I have got Match. but that caused even more problems and is currently turned off on both devices. I am going away on holiday tomorrow and have no music and am at my wits end. Can anyone advise?
Thank you
Gillie

I feel stupid.
Yes, your answer did work, but it wasn't very satisfying, as I wanted the videos to show up separately from my other movies. Then I realized what I'd been missing.
When your iPod is hooked up to iTunes, there's an option under the "Music" tab that reads "Allow music videos." It was unchecked - once I checked it, everything was fine. Thanks for answering though!

My playlist appears in itunes, but the music files have mysteriously disappeared in my iTunes Media file. Is there a way to recover them? Tried searching and cannot find them.

Older Zens don't support AAC, which is the format iTunes uses for songs.
You can convert from AAC to MP3, which every media player under the sun will play. Here's a tutorial: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10096807-49.html

My songs appear in itunes but not on my ipod

About 10 of my songs that have been on my ipod for quite sometime stopped showing up on my ipod. the songs are on itunes and play through itunes but no matter how many times I update my ipod the songs won't show up on my ipod. But if i put the songs in a playlist they then appear on my ipod only in the playlist not in the regular music/artist files. I have even tried to delete the songs and put them back n and it still doesn't work. If someone could help that would be great I am getting very frustrated!

Perhaps it is time to try performing a RESTORE on your iPod and see if that clears it up.

TS1369 ipod appears in iTunes, but not in windows explorer?

So my iPod appears in iTunes just fine, i can sync it and everything, but when i want to move my photos over, my iPod never shows up in windows explorer anymore. All the support tutorials are for if your iPod shows up in windows explorer and not itunes (or not both) but none are vise versa. What can i do?

Try:
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer
Next:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

Ipod appearing in Itunes but not synching

I've had several problems with my Ipod where I couldn't get it to appear in Itunes or in Windows but after nearly a week I have managed to sort that out by plugging it into my boyfriends laptop and restoring it.
Today when I finally plugged it back into my laptop it was recognised and it showed up in Itunes and started to synch. It went throught the motions of synching up but non of my music appeared on my Ipod. I performed a diagnostic and got the results below.
I have removed and re installed Itunes and all my software is up to date. Does anyone have any ideas

TV shows appear in iTunes but not in iPod

I have a 5G iPod video running on a HP with Windows XP. I have purchased several TV shows form iTunes and they show up in my iTunes library but not all of the episodes transfer to my iPod. My iPod is set to automatically sync with my library, but some of the the TV episodes still do not transfer. They are all checked and should transfer automatically. Also, if I select the missing shows and drag and drop them from the library into my iPod, they transfer. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks for any help you can give me!

You may have set your iPod to sync only unwatched episodes.
Connect your iPod, then when the summary screen appears click on the TV shows tab.
Change the preference to what suits you best.

Video that appears in iTunes but not Windows Explorer crashing iTunes

I added some videos to my iTunes library today, and I tried to sync my iPod. When I connect it, I get the "Updating iPod, do not disconnect" message, but it doesn't say exactly what it's transferring. After a little while, I get the notification that iTunes is crashing and the option to send an error report.
I updated iTunes to 6.0.3 earlier today, and updated my iPod to see if that would fix anything. When it didn't, I checked to see if there was something wrong with any of the videos. I tried deleting the videos, until iTunes crashed again. Whenever I try to delete, or play, or right-click this video, it crashes. I thought that maybe there was a problem with a video, so deleting it through Windows Explorer might have some effect, so I went to where it would be stored, and . . . it wasn't there.
I know that a file being listed in the library but not actually stored in Windows would normally just result in the exclamation-point-in-a-circle icon, but could this be what's causing iTunes to crash? Is there a way to delete something from the iTunes library without actually going through iTunes?

Okay, I managed to fix it after uninstalling iTunes and installing an old version . . . but of course, after I had everything up and working again, I ended up causing it to happen again. The upside of that is that I now know how it happened and an easier way to fix it.
The corruption of the file occured when trying to type in an artist on a file whose tag I had modified with iPod TVShow . . . it said "Editting tag", then crashed for the first time, and crashed again whenever I tried to edit that. Though, I found that that can be fixed just by deleting the movie file first through Windows Explorer, and then through iTunes (I didn't see it in Windows Explorer originally because I didn't realize that the re-labeling of the artist never went through, so I looked in the wrong folder, and I wasn't able to use Show Song File in order to see where it was, what with the constant crashing). Hopefully that'll help if anybody else ends up with the same problem.

My ipod is appearing in itunes but not finder

I took some photos on my new ipod touch 4th gen black and can't figure out how to get them off! I don't have a connection to wi-fi at the moment so am using the usb cable. I've tried both ports, turning off and on again itunes, turning on and off again the ipod. It appears in itunes so it's connected and recognisable in there but it doesn't appear on my mac desktop or under devises in the finder window.
Any ideas?

It does not appear in Finder unless you are using a third-party program. Try:

Music appears in iTunes, but not on ipod touch itself

Hi. My son got a new ipod touch about 2 weeks ago. We've set it up to automatically sync a particular folder (so he doesn't have to get ALL the music on our iTunes).
Tonight we added a few songs to his folder in iTunes and synced the ipod. In iTunes, when we click on the ipod icon and check, the songs appear in his folder, so they appear to have been transferred. However, when we eject and look in the ipod itself, the songs do not appear to be there. What makes the weirder is that when we reconnect the ipod to the computer and click on its icon in iTunes, the songs appear to be there after all.
Any thoughts as to what's going on and how to fix it? I have done a hard reset and full restore on the ipod touch; no change. I have not yet atempted to simply manually add each song (that just occurred to me).
Thoughts?
Thanks, Paul

Okay, figured out how to get around this. I have restrictions set to "Clean" on the ipod touch. The songs in question are "Clean" versions of, I assume, otherwise explicit songs. However, the restrictions don't seem to recognize that and are blocking them. When I change the restrictions setting on the ipod touch to "Explicit", the songs are accessible on the device.
On the computer itself, I have parental restrictions in place to prevent "explicit" songs from being downloaded, and these "clean" versions passed that bar, but apparently not for the ipod software. What's with this inconsistency? Is this a glitch? To whom should I report it? Isn't part of the point of those sanitized versions that they should be playable on devices with parental restrictions set?

New ipod seen in windows and itunes but not in sync diagnostics

I bought a second Ipod. Oldest one works fine. New one is seen in Windows and in ITunes. Diagnostics "finds" new Ipod, but on Sync diagnostics says "no Ipod found".
Ne Ipod looks like it's staring to sync, then just stops after 30 seconds and goes to "connected" screen.
Have done resets of Ipod and reboots of PC.
Driver shows no error in Device Manager.
Have tried three differenct cables and both USB ports on the pc.

I jus tried that. Computer acknowledged Ipod and Itunes performed restore. Afterward, same situation...no sync. Screenshots:
