Sync from iTunes says everything OK but no content appears in the iPod :-((

I think everything's up to date on my Mac:
- iTunes 8.1 (50)
- iPod nano 8 Go 4th gen with software 1.1.3
And now my problem.
When I connect the iPod to the Mac, iTunes recognizes it no pb. I can sync content (manualy or auto): from inside iTunes, all is ok. Music appears as music, videos as videos, etc.
After ejecting the iPod, I've got no music no video… nothing but the "other" category pretending to store anything I've synced.
If I connect the iPod back to the Mac, the sync process starts again. iTunes says everything's ok. After having ejected the iPod, I see no more music nor video. But the "other" category has doubled in size!!!
I've tried to restore initial settings many times with iTunes and got the same result each time.
I've even formatted the iPod with Disk Utility then reinstalled the 1.1.3 soft through iTunes. And the whole thing runs the same way.
Any suggestion or workaround?

If the content is in your media folder, which it should be, you have will lost any ratings, playcounts or playlist changes you've made since the backup database was created, but not the media itself. All your newly added media can imported to the library with File, Add Folder to Library, <Media Folder>.
If for some reason content has really been lost from the computer it may be possible to recover it using the tips in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device as given in the original linked post.

Can't copy any more songs to my ipod from itunes - says its full but i have deleted heaps off my ipod to make room!

I can not seem to add any more songs to my ipod. Normally i just click and drag songs i have highlighted in my itunes folders up to the Administrators' ipod and it puts a copy there in my ipod. however i keep getting a message saying there is not enough room . . . and so can't add another song. I have deleted heaps of songs off my ipod to ensure sufficient room for these new songs i want to load but i keep failing - why would that be? Is the space not freeing up when i delete exiting music off my ipod for some reason - or any other reason?

Try rebooting your iPod with it still connected to iTunes. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
How exactly are you deleting this tracks from the iPod?

I can't download any music from itunes, says there is not enough memory to support the download

I can not download any music from itunes, little box pops up and says there is not enough memeory to download?

iCloud storage has absolutely nothing to do with local storage. You need to free up space on the iPad in order to download the movies. You can transfer some content into iTunes and then delete it from the iPad in order to make room on the device.
Settings>General>Usage>Storage is where you delete content if you want to do it in there.

I want to sync my movies from iTunes onto my iPad, but when i try, it says it needs to "erase and sync" my iPad. If i erase and sync, will it delete my apps, photoa, and videos?

All devices only sync what you select to sync.
If you do not want all of the music, then simply do not select all of the music to sync.

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

I just sync my apps from itunes to my iphone but app don't show up on my phone

Please help me i just sync my apps from itunes to my iphone but app don't show up on my phone

I thought I resolved it, but the problem came back! And this time, re-starting Muse didn't help.
I was creating a vertical line to separate the sidebar from the main area, and when I extended the line down to where the footer guide is, the page started to expand and the navigation bar at the top started growing, while the links disappeared again. Now all links from the master page are again missing from every page but the master.
When I undid it, the navbar went back to its normal depth, but the text links in it did not return.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Also, it really wasn't my intention for the navigation bar to grow vertically as the page grows. Is there a way to prevent that?

How do I move a movie I have synced from iTunes into the "Movies" tab of the Video App? I need to access a slideshow I made in IMovies and may not have WiFi. I did it once, but can't figure out how to do it again! The file is an m4v. Thank you!

Im just guessing but it seems like you would have to get your movie into the correct folder on a computer then use iTunes to sync it to your iPad. If you've synced to a computer and have movies then on your computer should be a folder with the movie in it. You could export your iMovie to something like Dropbox then download from Dropbox to the folder you think it needs to be in the sync your iPad again. Again this is just a guess. Others may have a better answer.

Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. How can I delete it??

Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. Is there any way I can delete it so I can delete the version I wanted, or even better change to the SD version? The film is still queuing in the downloads list. I've tried edit and delete but that doesn't work. I also can't re-download the film from iTunes.
Any suggestions very welcome!

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

HT1212 my ipod is disabled, i have tried the steps to restore, but i get a message from itunes saying i have to enter my password to open itunes, meanwhile i cannot enter a passcode on the touch b/c it is enabled. i do not have the original computer i sy

My ipod was disabled by my son entering the wrong pass code. I no longer have the original computer i sync to. I have tried to restore using the instructions sent by Apple Rep, and on these help pages. I get a message from itunes saying that cannot connect to ipod touch b/c it is disabled, that i need to enter passcode to continue.. meanwhile, the ipod touch is saying i am disabled and to connect to itunes. Any NEW ideas?

If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If none of the above work, try:

With the latest IOS 7.0.3 for my iPhone, it no longer syncs with iTunes. I've run the diagnostics for syncing and it says everything is working, which it clearly isn't. Is there anything to be done without restoring iPhone? Thanks

update : so after reading numerous posts, I tried unchecking entire playlist and just tried one of my playlists. That sync seemed to work, so I rechecked entire playlist and did the sync. It worked. Then I went in to my "walk to work" playlist and added some songs to see if it would sync now, and it did!!! so happy now. will see what happens tomorrow.

Right click 'computer' in your PC/laptop (whichever). Click 'Manage', then 'Services and Applications', then 'Services', you should see 'Apple Mobile Device' running or stopped. If you couldn't find 'Apple Mobile Device', it means you haven't download iTunes into your PC/laptop (whichever).

Make sure you have selected to sync your entire library, or have checked the songs you want to sync. This might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351
