    Removed. Re-synced. Still not working. Factory reset the phone, re-installed music... made a GIANT "Other" file instead of actually adding any songs.
    Factory resetting again. Any other solutions?
    EDIT: If It helps, I'm doing this all over USB connection, not trying to sync music through wifi or anything.

  • Shuffle does not appear in Itunes

    I have connected my Ipod Shuffle to Itunes. When I ejected it and connected it again, it did not appear in Itunes. I restarted my Mac Mini and it did not appear. I disconnected it from the firewire and connected it again and it did not appear ... in the end I disconnected it.. rebooted the mac Mini.. and finally it appeared again. Why did this happen? would there be an easyer way to do this?

    After you ejected, disconnected, and connected again, did the Shuffle appear on the desktop in Finder?

  • Shuffle does not appear in itunes source list

    I attach shuffle to usb port in a brand new imac g5. i say "no" when asked if i want to change link to itunes library and replace all existing songs to those on my new my new computer(i dont want to lose songs on shuffle).
    After that, nothing happens...shuffle not in itunes source list, desktop or ipod updater.
    any suggestions ?

    The Shuffle can only be linked to one computer at a time if you want to use the Shuffle on a different computer you must allow Itunes to restore the Shuffle and than you can use it. Sorry there's really no good way around this besides going third party.

  • TS1369 Since I have connected by iphone 5s to my computer my 4th gen shuffle is not appearing in itunes when it is connected. It doesn't seem to be a USB issue as the ipod is charging when it is connected to the PC.

    Since connecting my new 5s my 4th gen shuffle is not recognised by itunes.
    The device is not appearing in 'my computer' but is receiving power as it is charging.
    I never had this issue with my 4s.
    I have tried the troubleshooting with no success.
    If anyone has any suggestions on what settings I need to change or what I need to do this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your help.

    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
    Also see these (if you haven't found them already):

  • Device Synch Menus does not appear in iTunes 11 on Windows 8 PC

    My 3rd generation iPod Nano connected to Windows-8 PC and iTunes 11 - Device "Summary" menu does not appear.  If you select the <File> menu in iTunes there is an option to "Synch Nano".  My iTunes is set to manually manage music on the Nano - because the "Summary" menu does not appear in iTunes it is impossible to select albums to Synch with the Nano.
    On the upper right bar there is an eject button for the iPod Nano.  This does in fact eject the Nano device and re-appears in iTunes if you disconnect the device then reconnect the iPod Nano.
    No other device menus are present in iTunes 11 under Windows-8.  The iPod Nano music library also does not appear.
    Only the PC based iTunes music library is visible.
    Itunes software versions are both current on the Nano and Windows-8 PC.
    The computer was deauthorized and then authorized in iTunes.
    The Synch History was reset in iTunes Preferences - this did not re-establish the Nano as a device to synch with iTunes.  (Typically fixes similar problems)
    Resetting nano device by holding Menu after switching unit on/off (Apple Logo Appears then Reboots Nano) makes no difference.
    Nano shows as a drive in Windows-8 in "My Computer" and the operating system recognizes the device connection.
    No problem ejecting and reconnecting the Nano in Itunes but traditional device menus are gone with the exception of the eject button.
    Tested the same iTunes Nano on two other computers with iTunes 11 installed on Windows-7 and Windows XP - works fine.  This issue only occurs on Windows-8 computers.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I just updated iTunes today and this seems to be the cause
    If you're already at version 11.1.5.5, try the procedure in Cerbu's post:
    Re: sync problem
    ... or try section 5 from the following document:

    If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!

  • IPod does not appear in ITunes updated for OS X 10.10

    My iPod does not appear in iTunes, the desktop, or under devices in the newly downloaded version OS X 10.10. Is there a way to have it displayed?

    I am also having this problem.  My 120GB and 160GB Classics, neither will show up anywhere on 10.10.
    Not in the system report under USB, not in iTunes, the screens don't show that they are connecting.
    Quite annoying..

  • TS3716 iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0.

    iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0. It appears on the desktop and iTunes starts up when the iPod is connected, but it does not appear in a form so that I can manage its contents.

    Mike:
    Just had the very same problem.  iPod Classic shows up on my desktop but not in iTunes (11.0.1).  I tried restarting iPod while connected as suggested elsewhere.  Didn't work.  What did seem to work however was, while the iPod is connected (and on the desktop) restart iTunes.  Once it restarted it was there and synching.  I also, before restart, made sure that auto-synching was set up in iTunes preferences (under devices).
    Try this.  May work for you as well.

    From the box the iphone came in:
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)"
    You will need Mac OS 10.5.8 or later in order to get itunes 10.5 or later, in order to connect your iphone.

  • My iPod frozen on "Do not disconnect" yet it does not appear in iTunes on my computer ?

    My iPod seems to be frozen on "Do not disconnect" yet it does not appear in iTunes on my computer ? Eventually I did disconnect. It's remains frozen and shows almost full charge.

    I'm having similar problems. Here is exactly what happens to me:
    I dock the iPod (I believe it is the 5th gen model, one of the first to play videos). Sometimes it syncs properly sometimes not. It will add songs not on my iPod, but it won't update the play count, last played, etc. The problem was fixed when I updated to a new version of iTunes (I believe it was 7.2 at the time, I could be wrong). So I played it off just being an iTunes issue. Well, with 2 updates since then, it has done it yet again. I've tried to restart the iPod using the menu+select key. It will work to remove the iPod, but it won't help in the future. The only way I can remove the iPod is to click on "Safely Remove Hardware." I know this isn't good for the iPod, but this is the only way that I can get the "Do not disconnect" icon off my iPod. Also, I tried to click "Eject iPod" (I've used this several times in emergency cases and worked wonders) but I get a message saying "iPod is in use by another windows program." I couldn't imagine what program is using my iPod. As far as I know, iTunes is the only program that can use the iPod on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer.  This happened after I agreed to a failed software update.

    My ipod touch has a permanent image of the end of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon of ITunes. I can't reset using the two button method, and ipod does not appear on itunes when I plug it into the computer - and nothing else happens either.  This happened after I agreed to a software update which failed.  How can I get it going again?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
