Synchronization appears to work but songs do not show up on Ipod

Itunes works correctly with all other ipods.
When I synchronize this new ipod 30GB Video, Tunes 7.1 - it shows it synchronizing, while connected I can see the ipod and the songs on the ipod as well as the correct disk usage. When I disconnect the ipod - there are no songs or videos on it at all. I've reset and also changed the drive letter.

Please help!!!
I booted without network. Reinstalled Itunes locally. Made sure there were no network drives connected. Changed the drive letter of the ipod to something not used. Synchronized, looked perfect, saw it copy. Ipod remains empty. I just honestly do not know what to do. It has worked perfectly for years. Now all my ipods are displaying no songs. H-E-L-P

  • ITunes sees iPod...but songs do not show up in library

    Long story short...I gave my son my old iPod mini. When we couldn't connect both it and my new video iPod to our new computer, we took it to his grandmother's house to use. I've downloaded all of the iPod/iTunes updates, and when the iPod mini is connected, it shows up in iTunes and you can listen to the songs...but it wont let us make any changes. The songs do not show up in the "library". We can't burn any songs to disks, we can't move anything around in the playlists....HELP!!!!!!! We've already de-authorized our old computer...so why wont this darn thing work???

    The songs that you had on your original computer are saved on that computer, and your iPod. You cannot drag songs off of an iPod and place them into a new library.
    You can, however, use your iPod as an external hard drive, and use it to transfer files to a new computer:

  • Why are my tags not syncing for a shared email account? IE One person tags an email as "Work" but it does not show on other users Thunderbird.

    Subject says it all for the most part.
    A shared email account we'll call "[email protected]" is not syncing tags across other end users Thunderbird. User A will tag an email as Work but it will not sync/show on anyone else's application. I've read that Thunderbird stores tags locally now? Is there a way to sync them up to our IMAP server? Or would we have to revert to a previous version of Thunderbird (if so which)?
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    the issue is probably that the server does not support tags..... Thunderbird stores them locally, but syncs them were the server supports it.

  • Bought 5 new songs on itunes. ipod syncs but songs do not show up on any playlist

    Bought 5 new songs on itunes . ipod syncs but the new songs don't show up on the play list that is on the ipod . the do appear on itunes library. what am i doing wrong ?

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)

  • Songs are not showing up in IPOD (Album)

    I have the 30gb video ipod and am having troubles finding specific songs which have transfered from the library to the ipod
    It tends to be songs which did not have an "album" associated with the song. Rather I'll see all the songs for a specific artist whom had albums tagged but none without..
    thanks for any help you can provide

    Songs not showing under Artist on iPod
    Two things usually contribute to this happening, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song is marked as part of a compilation or 2) as you have discovered, it is missing an album name. See this link to the Apple document on the subject: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    If the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. The test for this is to highlight a song you know is not appearing then from the iTunes File menu, choose Get Info and click the Info tab, if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you'll find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder, this means therefore they don't transfer over in the same way.

  • Certain songs do not show up on ipod

    On some of my CDs which I have imported into iTunes, some of the songs on an album do not make it onto my ipod. All songs are in iTunes and nicely catalogued. (For example: 5 of 12 songs will be on album on ipod, but all 12 sitting there in iTunes.) This happens more frequently than I would like.
    How do I fix this?
    Thanks in advance for any help with this!

    iTunes will group on Album Artist, the iPod on Artist. The Sort Artist & Sort Album Artist values affect this also. Perhaps Album Artist is set but Artist is blank or Sort Artist is " " etc. See my post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums for more thoughts...

  • HT4527 used instructions to transfer pc windows 7 to pc windows 8 with external drive, files moved to proper directory but songs did not show up on new computer.

    I solved this problem as follows. The instrunctions should tell you to delete the itunes folder that is created on your new computer when you install itunes for the first time, then copy the itunes folder from your previous computer. It looked okay when I did not do this the first time, but did not work, so I deleted the entire itunes folder on my new pc, then recopied from my external hardrive copy that I made from my old pc. Everthing came over: playlists, ratings, all "database" info.

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
    In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
    If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
    The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

  • Datasource Include -- Transport works, but RSA3 does not show intended res

    Hi there,
    We have sent a Datasource include in transport and transport did not throw any errors. I assumed it went through fine. But when I tried to test it using RSA3, I don't see intended result. I tried re-importing the transport, again no errors with same result. I followed same procedure for QA transport and it worked fine. Right now I am trying this to Prod and I don't understand why it does'nt work. Can you guys let me know if you experienced something like this before or if you have any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Mike.

    Hi,
    Which load is that? Is it a full load or delta load? Is it a LO data source? Please give some more inputs...

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

  • IPod is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes.

    iPod touch is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes... any ideas how to fix? Tried resyncing, didn't work.

    I'm fishing slightly but you may have casing inconsistenices in artist or album names that cause the iOS firmware to see more than one instance of the album but with each getting all the tracks. Merging stuff in iTunes via sort fields may also have unintended consequenses on the device. Could you post back a screenshot or decribe the symptoms more fully, ie. exactly which menu screen you are in on the iPod, what is repeated etc. The songs menu for example can correctly list more than one copy of a song if it appears on different albums.

  • Im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound unless i  talk right next to the mic. how can i fix this

    im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound  unless I  talk right next to the mic but it sounds low  . how can i fix this

    - Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
    - 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.
    - 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.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
