Song I bought on my iPod shows up in iTunes on my PC but not on my iPod

I recently bought "Payphone" by Maroon 5. It charged me for the song and everything, but it is not showing up in my Music on my iPod touch 4. When I log into iTunes on the computer, however, it shows up in my library and I can play it and it's completely fine. It's just not showing up on my iPod, no matter how many times I try to redownload it or sync it over and over again.
I also bought another song afterwards to see if that would download, and it worked fine. I don't know if it's a problem with the song itself, or something.
If anyone knows how to fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I had this problem too.
It is fixed by going into Settings > General > Restrictions. Turn Ratings for to Australia. Then turn off Music & Podcast to Expilcit.
I know this doesn't make sense as Payphone is supposed to be clean but it works when you now sinc the iTouch.

Songs i bought on iphone dont show up on itunes

I bought 3 songs on my iphone 5 and they dont show up on itunes. Ive tried everything posted in previous forums with zero succes. Any help?

The music must be on the computer in order to sync it.
Since you only signed into the iTunes account on the computer but did not download the media, it's not there to sync.
Also, iOS devices are designed to only sync to one computer.
Maybe it would be a good idea to read the User's Guide so that you'll have a better understanding of how this is supposed to work.

I can hear the music from itunes on my computer but not on my ipod

I purchased a new ipod nano today and unable to hear the music on it I am showing songs on the ipod so appears it synced ok. When I play the songs in itunes on my computer I can hear them but not through the earphones on ipod
Any help would be appreciated. I have been playing with this for about 4 hours now frustrating!!

Yes, I was stuggling with that for hours. You need to make sure you have pushed the plug right in so you cannot see the metal area.

Music purchased on iTunes downloaded to iPad but not seen in iPod App

Bought a bunch of music files last night at the iTunes store. Downloads looked fine, with progress bars moving nicely for each file; all files downloaded in a reasonable amount of time. I was doing some other stuff on the iPad during part of the download session, but each time I checked the iTunes downloads, they were still moving along. My credit card was charged, and my iTunes account shows that the files were purchased and are no longer available for download. After the downloads were complete, I hit the "Purchased" button to listen, and none of the files are there, just the old stuff that came over onto the iPad during a previous sync. Tried relaunching the iPod app and rebooting the iPad. Had recently updated to v4.2 of the OS.

I have not read this but with a very quick search in the search area in the upper right corner of the Apple web site next to support, I found this when I typed - "purchased music does not appear in iPod on my iPad

How do I download songs that are on itunes on my computer but not on my ipod?

My computer has all of the songs I purchased on iTunes, but my ipod only has a few? How do I get the songs onto my ipod? When I start iTunes on my computer and connect the ipod using the USB, I look at the left hand column but there is no devices there

Read the User's Guide, it covers basic functionality such as this.

Some songs, which are bought in the iTunes store, will be played iTunes but not on my iPod touch. Has somebody an explanation for that? Thanks,

No, you should have Restrictions OFF.
Computer's iTunes > Preferences > Parental Preferences > everything should be unchecked.
Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?

One song is showing up in itunes but not on my iPod?

One of my songs that I added is showing up in iTunes and I think when I synced my iPod before the song showed up. But later on, when I synced my iPod, a notification showed up saying that "this song "song name here" will not sync because it won't play in my iPod". I hastily read the notification so I am not exactly sure what it said, but the song does work in iTunes and everything, like there is nothing wrong with it. But, how do I get it onto my iPod? I've tried a bunch of things, but nothing seems to work.

i have the same issue.
i had songs on my iphone. I had to turn off music match & icloud & manually sync with iTunes which removed the songs with my iphone.
But when i go to iTunes, slect my device, and go to music, all my deleted items are there. Some with the ! and some with the sync symbol.
I even went to my iPhone, & deleted the album and re-download from iCloud. Same thing happens.

You can sync your iPod with multiple computers, but what can be synced is very limited. See this article for more details.

IPod not showing up in iTunes or My Computer, but used to.

This is stumping me. I got a blue iPod nano for Christmas from my mom, and the first three times I plugged it in to sync it, it would immediately show up and sync. But, I tried to sync it this week and nothing happened. It didn't show up in iTunes, My Computer, or removable devices. I tried EVERYTHING. I restarted my computer, all 5 "R"s, charging my iPod, safely removing hardware, and NOTHING works. I have a bunch of new songs I want to put on it, but I can't get my computer to recognize it. HELP!

Album art is showing in itunes but not on my ipod

I have a new 60GB ipod video and am having a problem with album artwork. It shows in all the right windows in itunes but not on the ipod itself.
The problem is affecting random songs (singles and odd album tracks) and is not as a result of any software updates.
I have tried unchecking and rechecking the 'display album art' option in preferences, deleting and reinserting the covers and even deleting and reimporting the affected songs from scratch. So far nothing has worked and I don't know what else to do!
Any suggestions?
Apple iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3) ipod 60GB with video

Thanks but still no luck I'm afraid.
To update: I have been using itunes 6 from the outset and have always manually updated the ipod - it has never even been switched to automatic as I changed this at the start (advice from a friend). File formats for the affected tracks are all either AIFF or Apple Lossless - same as all the unaffected tracks.
The even stranger thing is that artwork for some albums, where all the tracks were imported manually at the same time, shows for some tracks on the ipod and not others. The artwork does, however, show for all of the tracks on the ipod when viewed through itunes!

Purchased song that went into my lbrary but not to my ipod

Purchased song that went into my library but not into my ipod shuffle

You probably need to set up (or update) automatic syncing.
Find the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, and select it there. If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the shuffle selected in iTunes, there is a bar of buttons near the top, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.
Check the box for Sync Music. You can choose to sync Entire music library, if your iTunes music library is small and fits on the shuffle. With this setting, your entire iTunes music library syncs to the shuffle, and new songs get synced automatically. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select (checkmark) the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres you want on the shuffle from the lists below. If you want newly added songs to sync to the shuffle, they must be part of your selection. For example, you can add them to a playlist that you have selected for syncing to the shuffle.
When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the shuffle. Going forward, changes to your iTunes library (based on your settings on the shuffle's Music screen) sync automatically to the shuffle, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync).
This document has more general information about ways to load content on a shuffle.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
