Showing in iPod but not iTunes

I recently received an iPod Touch and it's been working great so far. My primary use of it is to listen to podcasts on my way to work and home. All of them are downloaded from iTunes and transfered while syncing. The other day I somehow managed to have a "stranded" podcast on my iPod - it appears on the iPod, but not in iTunes so I am unable to remove it now that I've listened to it.
Any way to manage the music/podcasts that appear on the iPod but not in iTunes?

No problem. Have fun with your iPod.

Keep songs on the ipod, but not itunes

How do I keep stuff on my ipod, but not on my computer?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You will need to enable manual updating...
Transfer music manually
Now, when you delete songs from your computer, they will stay on your iPod.

Windows recognizes iPod, but not iTunes or iPod updater, causes freezing

I'm having some issues with my 60GB iPod Photo. I tried to store my friend's music on my iPod as files. Upon uploading them to my own computer, some files caused freezing, requiring me to disconnect and reconnect the iPod. I finally gave up and deleted all the files stored on my iPod. All of a sudden, although Windows XP Pro recognized that an iPod was plugged in, it would no longer open iTunes automatically. When opening iTunes once the iPod was plugged in, it would cause iTunes to freeze.
I decided to restore my iPod. About halfway through, there was an error message saying my iPod could not be restored. All songs were deleted but my iPod was still not recognized. Now, the iPod updater does not recognize that in iPod is connected, even though Windows does. The updater freezes, inhibiting me from completing my restore. iTunes freezes as well when my iPod is plugged in. My iPod displays "update in progress - do not disconnect," but nothing happens. When my iPod is not connected to the computer, I can navigate through it normally, although it does need to be unfrozen when left unused for a couple of days. I cannot tell if it plays files because they were all removed during my unsuccessful restore.
I have tried reinstalling all my iPod related software and I have tried my iPod on more than one computer with different USB cables, but nothing works.
Help, please!

This is exactly the same problem that I am having I have posted on 14th March on itunes forum. I wish you luck I wait with interest to see what someone says. My ipod was working like a dream until i downloaded the update

Another iPod Mini showing in XP but not iTunes.

I think the subject pretty much says it all.
Up until this week, my Ipod was connecting into iTunes without problem, then all of a sudden it is being picked up by windows but iTunes doesn't see anything, nor does the auto updater. (At least I can keep it charged with the music I already have on it)
Have tried reinstalling itunes, resetting the ipod and upgrading to itunes v6, none of which have actually helped.
Have been going through the discussions since it happened trying to find a solution, and so far nothing, and more advice from the community or Apple itself would be greatly appreciated.

Stompie, you might want to consider reinstalling something called Apple Mobile Device Support, which is what allows the iPod touch and iPhone to communicate with the computer. Part of what makes the iPod touch be recognized as a camera only is a malfunctioning AMDS.
Go to your Applications folder
Drag iTunes.app to the Trash
Navigate to: Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/
Drag AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg to the trash
Navigate to: Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions/
Drag AppleMobileDevice.kext to the trash
Restart the Mac
Empty the Trash
Download & install from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
Reinstalling iTunes won't change any of your preferences or library media, so you don't have to worry about losing your music or any of its data, although a good backup is always a good idea.
Hope this is helpful

Ipod not syncing correctly and songs skipping on ipod but not itunes/wmp

My old ipod was having this same issue(so I presumed it was broken) and I wanted to get a new one as the old one was an 8 gig and didnt really have enough size for me so I bought a new 32 gig ipod. Unfortunately this new one is having the exact same problem and I cannot figure out why. I've tried uninstalling itunes and all the other apple programs and reinstalled them all and I've tried converting the songs to AAC but these have had no effect.
The songs play perfectly in both itunes and windows media player it's just when they transfer over to the ipod the problems start. Usually what happens is the song plays for xx seconds then the sound stops but the song continues playing on the ipod if I leave it alone the ipod skips to the next song but if I force it to speed up eventually the song kicks in again but at a different point. Other times the song will play out of sequence and will sound completely disjointed.
Another problem that keeps cropping is when trying to sync the ipod it will get about half way and randomly cut out on one song telling me it's corrupt but it's always a different song and will happily skip over previous songs that caused a problem when I run it again.
I would import all the music again but I don't have access to the CDs as I am out of the country for a year, I didn't buy any of the songs through itunes so can't re-download them either.
I am running vista 64 bit but I used the 64 bit installer so I'm not sure if that would really cause any problems or not and yes I made sure the ipod is up to date and I have tried resetting it numerous times.

It's hard to say without a lot more information; Here's a sample of things that would need to be answered in order to really determine the cause:
*Age of the computer and/or hard drive
*What application(s) are installed
What updates occurred or new applications were installed before the issues started popping up
*Whether files/folders have been deleted
About the only one that really matters for you now is the age of your hard drive. Most hard drives last for 3~5 years, and the hard drives on the newest iBooks (from 2005) would be nearing that 4-year mark. If you've never had your hard drive replaced, there is the possibility that the hard drive is failing. Hard drive failures can result in software corruption--which would be the issues you're seeing.
What you want to do from now on is make sure you have all your important data backed up (and all installation CDs/DVDs accounted for, just in case) and monitor the machine. If the odd behaviors return, we may have to do more troubleshooting.
Good luck!

HT1386 I have synced the items from itunes to an iphone 4 without problem, except the two albums I just purchased did not sync. They show up on the itunes on my desktop and on my ipod, but not on the new iphone. What do I need to do?

I have an itunes account and an ipod, and when I purchased 2 albums on the computer they synced straight to the ipod. I bought an iphone and used the usb cord from the computer to it to sync the itunes albums to the new phone. Everything transfered, and those were albums I had uploaded (not purchased from the itunes store), except the two albmus I just purchased from the itunes store. They appear on my itunes on the computer and ipod, but not on the iphone. What did I fail to do or did I do incorrectly?

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

Third-generation iPod appears in "My Computer" but not iTunes

I am sure this problem has been brought up many times before, but my iPod is not showing up in my iTunes but does appear in my My Computer folder. I have tried the troubleshooting options available on the Apple support page and have done other web searches for some help but nothing to avail. Can anyone help me?

hi haptic!
I had it all working fine until I formatted my pc. Now windows recognizes it but not iTunes or the updater, and I don't get any error message.
just checking. have you investigated these possibilities yet?
Strange iPod behavior when Windows confuses iPod with network drive
iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported
iPod not recognized and Windows Device Manager is empty
... another thing to check if your Device Manager is blank is this possibility:
No Items Appear in the Device Manager List When You Open It
otherwise, try steadily working through this document (apologies if you've seen this one already, but there are things in this one that you didn't explicitly mention having tried.)

HT4539 Why I can download from iCloud on 1 iPod but not the other. It says downloaded but doesn't show up in music...

I can download from iCloud to one iPod but not the other. It says downloaded but doesn't show up in music...

I'm not sure what you mean by the "music library" - are you looking in the Music app? Or the iTunes app (which is not the one to be looking in)?

Ipod is synced but not all music will play. The music shows on the Ipod but not highlighted and cannot click to play.

Ipod is synced but not all music will play. The music shows on the Ipod but not highlighted and cannot click to play.

Provided the music plays in iTunes on the computer
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT3951 How do I transfer iTunes credit from an ipod to the server ? Credit is only showing on the iPod and not iTunes when accessed from other accounts.

My daughter loaded her iPod touch from some gift cards .
iPod stats : Model MD057LL ( 4th gen ) running iOS 6.0.1 (10A523)
The credit shows up there, but not for our same account on iPad or computer iTunes.
She's unable to download any apps or music on her iPod, so we were trying to do it through the computer.

Gift-card redemptions are associated with the Apple ID/iTunes account in which they were redeemed. You have to purchase items from that account.
