TS1493 files not visible on ipod nano after disconnect from itunes

I have an iPod Nano (6th generation - 16 Gb) which was purchased in early 2011. All of a sudden all files in all categories (music, audiobooks, podcasts, etc) are no longer visible once it is disconnected from iTunes on my laptop. When reconnected to the laptop the files are visible again in iTunes - so they are still on the device. I have searched the Apple online support info and that only seems to provide complicated and unhelpful information about redesigating hard drive network maps etc., which is an action I am not prepared to risk for fear of making a bad problem worse, or contacting my "administrator" - which is me! Can anyone offer any solutions that don't require a PhD in computer science?

Here are a couple of additional pieces of information that might provide a clue:
1) At home, my iPod shows up as having the name I used when I registered it. On the second computer, my iPod shows up with the name DATA1.
2) I have an iPod 4GB mini. At home, that's pretty much the amount of space that shows up in the disk space bar (near the bottom) of iTunes. However, on the second PC, the disk space bar shows 10.35 GB used, 15.66 GB free! Which is just freaky, since it's still a 4GB iPod mini.
3) According to the iTunes display, everything is transferring absolutely smoothly. Since the iPod is configured to transfer music manually, the Do Not Disconnect sign is flashing throughout, but when I'm done and click on the eject iPod button in the lower right hand corner, it turns off, just the way it's supposed to and I can disconnect my iPod. It's just that my songs aren't visible anywhere on my iPod when I try then to play them.

ITunes Not Recognizing my iPod Touch after Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

Thanks to a posting by Jim in a different Apple Discussions (forum), my problem is now resolved. Read on for the details.
iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Jim's posting set me straight on this.
iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to Jim's posting, I had already read the article that Jim referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
Prior to Jim's posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

No artwork visible in iPod 20GB after upgrading to iTunes 7

I have a iPod 20GB with colour display. I had updated artwork for all music on the iPod using iTunes 6. And now I have just upgraded to iTuned 7, and lo! all the artwork has disappeared from iPod. I can continue to see all the artwork in iTunes though, which means it is there in iPod too, but it is not visible in the iPod.
I have tried most suggestions (unselecting "display artwork in iPod" & selecting it back, rebooting iPod, etc, etc). I have 9.5GB of songs already which makes it quite impractical to completely restoring the iPod since I have no backups of the songs.
Please suggest something. AFAIK it is either a bug with iTunes 7 or a new iPod updated for iTunes 7 needs to be released. Own up Apple

Maria,
Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for some ideas on how to find your missing music.
If you're not able to find the music, at their discretion Apple has made one-time exceptions to the "one download" policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form at the bottom of this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/backup/
Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

Updating my ipod nano with photos from itune

I have been facing an error ("The ipod cannot be update. the disk could not be read from or written to")when I try to update photos from itunes to the ipod nano.
Although I have been updating music successfully and using the last version of itunes (6) and ipod software it persists with this error.
Do you have any hint to give me ?

Restore the iPod and then see this article for different ways to sync content to your iPod when your iTunes library is larger than what your iPod can hold.

Cisco AnyConnect Secured Mobility Client not saving the VPN url after disconnecting from session/restarting client

Hello there.
I am having a problem with Cisco AnyConnect version 3.1.04072. When one of my colleagues disconnects from the VPN session, closes out the program, and then later on, reopens the client, the address that he manually entered did not save and it's defaulting on the two now-defunct VPN servers listed.
Here's an example to see if it makes more sense:
-User opens Cisco AnyConnect. By default, there are two selections available on the pulldown:
SSLVPN.abcdefg.com
access.abcdefg.ca
These two VPN servers are now defunct and we use a new VPN server:
access.abcdefg.com
The user has to manually type it in. He is now able to connect. However, when disconnected. Regardless if the program is closed or not, it does not save the new VPN server address, rather goes back to the default two VPN servers listed.
I've checked XML, HTML, registry keys, sys files, dll files to see if I can change the default servers manually. No sign of it.
I'm hoping that someone out there knows a solution to fix it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Vergel ,
You can create Anyconnect client profile on ASA. In this profile , you can define the hostname/IP that you wish to connect , along with hostname/IP that should be displayed on the client.
In the client profile , you can define these parameters - "HostName" and "HostAddress" as "access.abcdefg.com" so that any user , who tries to connects , will see "access.abcdefg.com" as the name displayed in the anyconnect connect field.
On the client, the xml profile (C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile) [Win 7] can be seen using those parameters as follows:-
        <HostEntry>
           <HostName>access.abcdefg.com</HostName>
           <HostAddress>access.abcdefg.com</HostAddress>
       </HostEntry>
Ref:- http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/vpn_client/anyconnect/anyconnect30/administration/guide/anyconnectadmin30/ac03vpn.html#89103
Additionally, you can try to delete preferences.xml file to remove the redundant hostnames from the anyconnect connect filed.
Path for preferences.xml is C:\Users\Cisco\AppData\Local\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client (Win 7),
Hope this helps.

Dinesh Moudgil

IPod Shuffle spontaneously disconnects from iTunes

When I connect my iPod Shuffle to my MacBook Pro, iTunes launches, begins to sync files and charge the iPod. Moments later, an alert message will appear in iTunes erroneously saying that the iPod has been removed before being properly ejected. I have no similar problems with my iPod classic nor any other USB device. The iPod Shuffle otherwise functions properly. Any advice?

It could be a problem with the USB port, the USB cable, or the shuffle itself.
For the USB port, it seems to be working because it works with your other iPod. However, if you have other USB devices connected at the same time (such as your other iPod), I would shut down (power off) the Mac and disconnect all USB devices including hub. Do this to Reset the shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
(also, if you can note which shuffle model you have and include that info if you need to post back.)
Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the Mac This is to test if there might be a power-related issue or USB conflict between devices.
To rule out faulty USB cable as the cause, if possible, try a different USB cable, or try the one you have with another shuffle.
Does the shuffles stay connected long enough for you to go to its Summary screen in iTunes, to make setting changes?

Why is a .txt file not visible on iPod Classic in its entirety once the iPod is disconnected from the desktop?

I have enabled my iPod Classic for disc use; and previously successfully transferred .txt files. The latest .txt file is fully visible on the iPod while the iPod is connected to the desktop, but once the iPod is disconnected only about 20% is visible. It is as though the wheel will rotate no further to reveal the rest. There is masses of free space on the iPod.

Only the first 4000 characters of a longer note will appear from the device itself.

Worbooks not visible in User menu after Upgrade from BW 3.0 to BW 7

Hi,
We're currently processing the Upgrade of our BW system.
We meet a problem about the visibility of our existing workbooks in User menu of the new Bex Analyzer. The system is apparently successfully upgraded, we nevertheless have this issue. We know that we have to convert the workbooks, but before doing that, we would like to see them....
Can someone help us ? Is maybe it a authorization problem ?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Steph.

Can you still see them in the 'old' BEx?
If so: try to execute them there. If you get no error => no authorisation problem.
Also, in the new BEx you can try to find them via the find button.
Bear in mind that with the NW04s BEx you don't see the whole menu tree, but only one level at the time.
I should also mention that there are problems with displaying favorites stored in folders. Note 955979 solves that.

I have 2nd gen iPod nano with songs from iTunes but also burnt from CDs. I now have a new laptop currently without iTunes or any music on. Is there anyway for me to connect the iPod to iTunes on the laptop and not loose all of the songs on it?

Pretty much as it says above. I don't want to loose all my old songs that weren't downloaded and am wondering if there's anyway that I can make sure there safe to connect it to a new laptop with no music on at present.
Any help or advice would be great :-)
Thanks

Thanks for trying, no it did not help. The article describes getting song from apple devices to PC, not the other way around. I will try ringing tech support tomorrow.
Thanks anyway.

IPod Nano (4th Generation) switches on when connected to USB power - shows Menu & hangs (unresponsive to click wheel) - deems off after 5-sec - Switches off after disconnecting from USB Power - syncs with iTunes - Tried 5R's - Problem still persists

1. The iPod Nano (4th Generation - 8GB) switches on, only when connected to USB power by showing apple logo and displays Menu options thereafter..
2. However, I can not access Menu as it is unresponsive to click wheel. As a result it is inaccessible to any further use,
3. NOTE: it displays "Battery Fully charged" icon on the screen without any "Lock" icon.
4. After 5-sec to 10-secs the screen deems off.. i.e. goes to sleep mode.. And thereafter would probably remain like that (sleeeping) for eternity!!!!
5. It Switches off after WITHOUT DISPLAYING any Apple Logo immediately after disconnecting from USB Power.
6. In other words, it can be switched on only through USB power in spite of battery being fully charged.
7. Interestingly, it syncs with iTunes. It is recognised in iTunes (Latest version 11+).. Displays on screen all commands Like.. syncronising, connecting, connected,
8. Allows to add Music, videos like a normal ipod & displays all status information in iTunes.
9. Read Trobleshooting & Tried all 5R's. Registered, Resetted, updated & Restored to iOS 1.0.2
10. It is now displaying to select Language in place of Menu options, with no access through click wheel, centre button whatsoever... Problem still persists
KINDLY GUIDE ME THE SOLUTION. APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE in advance...

"I get the feeling that this is a software issue that could probably be solved quite easily"
Since you have already tried all the normal troubleshooting solutions, take the iPod to your nearest Apple Store for a *proper diagnosis.* The staff there will be able to confirm if your problem is software or hardware _*at no cost to you.*_

I need help with putting notes on the ipod nano!!!!... HELP!!!...

I have no clue how to even go about putting notes on the ipod nano but i allways get lost!!! I just got it and i need some big time help !!!
thanks so much

1 - Ok, to put notes onto your nano, you'll first need to enable it for disk mode. When it's plugged in, go into iTunes, and open up iPod preferences. Check the "Enable disk use" box.
2 - In your Windoze file browser (what you click on files in), locate your iPod, which should be located in My Computer. Open that up, and locate the notes folder. That is where you can put any notes, in the form of text files, that you want.
3 - Make the notes. iPods only recognize plain text and html files. So, when you open the text file up in a word processor, make sure to save it as a plain text file (.txt extension). Then, just drag it onto your iPod.
In disk mode, your iPod will need to be ejected before you unplug it from your computer. Right click on it (in your My Computer folder) and click "Eject"
-Michael
