Unable to browse Ipod contents in Itunes

When using Itunes 7 I was able to plug in my Ipod and browse the contents just as I could browse my main library. This isn't possible in Itunes 8, I can browse the whole contents of my ipod, but am unable to narrow what is displayed by selecting an album or artist. With an 80gb Ipod this has become quite annoying. Is there anything that can be done about it?

    Any error messages when you sync the iPod? Do all of these tracks play okay in iTunes?
    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have in place from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs?

  • Cannot figure out how to view ipod contents on itunes screen??

    My kids have the nanos where I could see what had been transferred over and what wasn't. With my 5th generation, I can't figure out how to view it's contents. I get the summary screen and related screens on what to sync with the 7.0 version.

    On the left-hand sidebar in iTunes you should be able to see your iPod - icon with name beside it. Underneath it, there should be listings like music, movies, T.V. shows, podcasts, audiobooks. (I guess if there's nothing on the iPod yet there may be none of that) Select one of the items and it will show you the iPods' contents of that particular thing.

  • Viewing ipod contents from itunes 7

    I have itunes 7 and a video ipod. Ever since my latest update of itunes, I am unable to view my ipod songs from itunes (I can only see the summary, and different options about syncing music, videos, etc.). With the older version of itunes, when my ipod was selected, I would see a list of all my ipod music, similar to the library. Is it possible to do this with the itunes 7?

    Hi,
    Ah I see. I take it the album view and coverflow view buttons are greyed out yeah?, cos I haven't tried it myself.
    Do you have album art for all the songs on your ipod? That is something else I've not checked for, I've no need to see the artwork. So, I also assume your ipod song list is different to the music you have in itunes, or else why would you want to view it in itunes?
    I guess itunes is showing you what is on your ipod in the list only view cos that is all that your ipod supports. You ARE viewing your ipod after all, so the songs aren't essentially IN itunes.

  • Copy IPOD Contents TO Itunes on New Computer

    Is there a way of copying my ipod music to a new computer versus haveing a blank itunes that then erases the ipod contents on syncing??? Thanks
    JRklein

    Ok, here is a little trick i learned. All you have to do is add folder (if on windows) or just files (not files on windows).
    First you want to plug in your ipod while having iTunes open.
    Second deny and attempt for iTunes to add the current library onto the pluged-in iPod.
    Third, go to the preferences and go to advanced, and check the box that says: "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library"
    Fourth: Amke sure the iPod is enabled as disk use, and then add the ipod folder, yes the whole thing to your library.
    Fifth, the files hsould now appear in you library, and you can disconnect your iPod because the file were copied to you itumes Music folder.
    sixth, disconnect the ipod and attempt to play the songs. If you can't retry.
    Who said Apple doesn't let you take songs off the iPod.

  • Copying iPod content to iTunes on a new hard drive

    My Windows XP crashed and I had to reinstall a new hard drive. How do I update newly installed iTunes with all the content on my iPod?
    Thanks

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not work with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer.
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

  • Unable to search Ipod music in Itunes 11.

    I just installed Itunes 11. I have a 1st gen ipod. The "Search" box doesn't bring up any results when I highlight Ipod Music.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    your ipod preferences are probably set to automatic.

  • CAN'T SEE MY IPODS CONTENT IN ITUNES

    When I go into Itunes it show my Ipod but doesn't list whats on my Ipod. Have spent so much time on this. I was clicking and dragging songs into my Ipod but now that it's full I can't delete or add any more music because I can't see the content.

    I had some funky problems with viewing my new Nano on a Vista computer. First it detected it, but didn't display it. Then it displayed it but wouldn't let me put music on it.
    Although I didn't get a BSOD on my Laptop after reading the issue was related to the software that detects a plugged in Ipod I followed the instructions below. Works fine now
    Followed the instructions on this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2280?locale=en_GB and it worked.

  • Unable to put ipod music onto itunes help

    hi
    i lost all my computers memory along with iTunes. ive still got my music on my iPod but cannot transfer to iTunes plz help as i don't want to lose my music
    thanks for your help any welcome

    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5).

  • How do I browse English content in Itunes when I live in Switzerland?

    I have a Swiss Itunes account, but any iTunes content such as movies are by default in German. My iTunes language is set to English. Is there a simple setting to let iTunes Switzerland know that I want English content? All the best. J

    It's ridiculous. Have the same problem in Germany, I want to spend money but I can't. All movies are dubbed into german, some say they are german and English but I have no idea how to switch between the two! You should be allowed to access whatever you want! I am an English speaking person in a foreign country this is where my bank accounts are, the is no other option except to open an account in an English speaking country! **** you appl.

  • Problem viewing artwork for ipod content in itunes

    I would like to scroll through my ipod library the same way as the main library but the options for doing so are greyed out. There is also no artwork window and when I transfer a song from library into ipod, the artwork doesn't transfer with it. Have I disabled something?

    Hi,
