Songs are on iPod but will not show! Help me before I lose it!
I had plugged my iPod in like I ALWAYS do and I was puting some lyrics on my songs when all of a sudden my computer beeped. It said my iPod was not connected and then my iPod reconnected. However when it did it started to ask me to sync it to my computer. I had it setup so I could manage my songs manually. I hit ignore like I have been doing and then it started to update I think but I hit cancell and then BOOM all my songs appeared to be gone both on the iPod and iTunes. But I started searching my iPod because it is a hard drive and I found my songs. They are all there but I can't get them back. I even tried to put the songs on my iPod back on my iPod by draging them into iTunes. They showed up but when I disconnected it and reconnected it they were gone again! I searched the drive and I found this message:

I am so upset I do not know what to do! Please if anyone knows how to remedy this tell me before I break my computer in frustration. I am even near tears over this. Please I beg and beseech you: HELP ME!
P.S. Norton Antivirus keeps telling me I have a corrupt file. It says: iTunes:
iTunes.exe- Corrupt File
The file or directory/iPod_Control\iTunes\iTunesDB is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
What does that mean? I am scared that it is really messed up! I did delete a file under videos that had never been there but I don't see the relation. Please help!
P.P.S. I just tried to add a new song to my iPod and it showed up in iTunes but when I disconnected my iPod everything was blank again. What is wrong? Can you tell I am upset? Please help!
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are the songs on your computer? Do they show up in iTunes? (I am assuming they are not). Go into My Documents-->My Music-->iTunes-->iTunes Music. See if the music is there. Is it? You could also try searching your computer for a song and see if you find one or all of them.
Also, see if you can use this to get the music back into iTunes from your iPod if the music is not on your computer...
MacMuse: Computer Crashed
Once the songs are in iTunes, we need to address the chkdsk error message(s).
See this...

Before you restore your iPod, make sure that the music is in iTunes and works/plays without your iPod conencted.
I really don't think all the song files were deleted off of your computer. Just double check and make sure the actual files are gone.

Songs copy to IPOD but do not show up in Menu?
Hi i was wondering if anyone could help me with this or heard about this before,
I am managing to copy songs to my IPOD via itunes, however when i turn it on the songs are not there, however under playlists there is a blank playlist with nothing in it?? When i plug the ipod back in the songs show up in itunes as being on the IPOD.?
Any Ideas
Thanks
JamesSounds like ipods DB file is corrupt, try resetting it by holding the center and menu button for 6 to 10 seconds.
If that doesn't work you need to restore it with the latest ipod updater. Restoring will wipe it clean so make sure all songs on it are on the PC before doing this. More about restore can be read here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983 -
A song I purchased shows up in iTunes, but will not show up on my iPhone. When the phone is plugged into the computer, iTunes shows that it is on my iPhone, but it is not. How do I get that song to show up on my iPhone?
I have the same problem and it only affects the one song, everything else syncs

TS3572 My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes
My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes, and is not recognized by my computer. I am using a MacBook Pro purchased six months ago, with all software up to date. I am using the most recent version of iTunes,and the original factory connector. It does charge through the computer, but is not seen by the computer. I have gone through all of the recommened troubleshooting, and have verified that the connectors are plugged in properly.
Thanks for a reply
The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do? -
My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!
Hey there Kellee,
It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
1. Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
2. Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive? -

Assuming you bought the song at the iTunes Store, you can go here
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
and follow one of the "paths" to get what you need or to an Apple customer support employee. One path is to click Contact Support at the bottom of the list of choices, and use the Express Lane.
The iTunes app also has a way to report a problem with a purchase. Select iTunes Store in the sidebar (of the iTunes window). Toward the upper right corner, click on your Apple ID. This gets you to your Account Information screen. Find Purchase History and click See All. On that screen, you can select a specific purchase with that problem, and Report a Problem.
If you want to try to figure out WHY that song does not play on your iPod shuffle, please post back... -
ADE working but will not show my NOOK HD. Help.
Had to download new version of ADE which works fine but will not show my new NOOK HD. Any ideas?
It appears that ADE does not support the HD+. I tried my old Nook Color and that still works. In looking at ADE supported devices I did not see the HD+. I hope ADE will fix this soon.

iTunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username. How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?
Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,
