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.
you would be unable to delete selelctions directly from ipod list if it was seet to automatic.

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)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (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). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

This is the Pages forum but I believe you need iTunes.

I am unable to sync my music in iTunes to my iPhone 4S. The Sync button is disabled. Does anyone know the solution to this? Thanks.

It may seem simple, but restart both devices.
on the iPhone hold the sleep and home button until the phone rests (soft reset), then restart the iTunes app. Then plug the phone back in then sync again.

Synced ipod music to itunes and now its gone?

I tried to sync my ipod music to itunes by selecting music and then sync music. Itunes then told me the songs were erased from my ipod and the sync was completed, but i couldn't find the songs in my music or in my cloud or anywhere on my computer. It then told me to sign in to authenticate my song purchases so i did and then it only synced 11 of my songs that i bought through itunes using my account but not the others that i did not use itunes to purchase. I synced the other non-itunes purchased songs without loging in so could that have effected it? Is there a way i can get my 500+ other songs back?

Are you saying that before the music was on your iPod and not in yur iTunes library on yr computer and now it is in neither place?
If so then
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
you will have to get other music from where yo obtained them before.
The problem was that you synced the iPod to other than the one syncing computer/library y can have.

How do I transfer iPod music to iTunes libary?

I have had many problems this weekend trying to share music with my sons iPod. Having eventually given up on sending him the files I have been advised to plug his iPod into my iTunes and update manually. I have dragged the selected songs to his iPod and they are there!!! (surprise surprise) But now I want to organise them for him into playlists - so when I plug his iPod back into his pc and open iTunes on manual update I am unable to move any of the tracks from his iPod to his iTunes. I would really apreciate some help on how to do this the less complicated way. I have read in other postings that you can get a third party software to do it - but there must be an easier way to orgainse it. Any help anyone? SM

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news (having had a look back at your weekend's postings ;~| ).
iTunes to iPod is designed to be a one-way transfer only. Apple has implemented this limitation as part of their Digital Rights Management (DRM) and their contracts with the Record Companies. To that end you have to use a third party application which is unfortunate because this is inevitable more complicated then if Apple had implemented it.
This post by Zevoneer has a good list.
kind regards

Hard drive crash; but ipod OK; how can I get ipod music onto itunes?

Playing (not stealing) a friend's iPod music through iTunes

I develop an application for control and playback of iTunes from external control systems, and have been asked if we can control playback of the content on an iPod. We set up inexpensive macs to act as music servers, and they want the doctors who come in and use the system to be able to plug their personal player into the system for playback during an operation.
In testing, I can plug in and control any of the three iPods around the house that use our account with no problem. But, if someone brings over an iPod and plugs it into my computer, can I play back the music on it through my computer? It seems reasonable.
+Please no flaming about "Because you're stealing" and the like. I pay for ALL of my songs. It's not the same as taking the music from the iPod with a hack, or keeping a fully-loaded iPod from a friend permanently. It's like someone bringing a CD over for a party and leaving with it afterwards.+

Thanks. I'm not sure how that relates. For example, I just plugged my iPhone into my PC that has never seen this iPhone before and the iPhone's music is all grayed out. The "Manually manage.." check is not checked on the PC, where it is checked on my Mac.
Then I plugged my daughter's Touch into the same PC (which also have never been connected) and I can access the music. The "manually manage..." check IS checked... What gives?

Playing ipod music on itunes?

My friend played his ipod touch music on my itunes. I just got an ipod classic and i can't seem to do that. Why?

Your iPod is probably set to sync music automatically from your library. If you want to play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos". The song list on the iPod Classic will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes:
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Syncing Music to iPod
Something to remember about using an iPod Classic in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

IPOD Music into Itunes Library!

Can somoene explain to me how I can manage all the music that is currently on my IPOD (just MP3's) within Itunes software so I can create playlists etc..
I had to re install Itunes and it doesnt show any of the music on my IPOD even though my IPOD has about 3GB of MP3's on it.
Thanks!
Tommy

Syncing between iTunes and iPod is intended to be one-way: from iTunes to iPod. The exception, with recent versions of iTunes, is that content purchased from the iTMS can be copied from iPod back to iTunes.
There are (nearly) countless third-party utilities for recovering music and other content from iPods, however, so perhaps you should have a look around the Internet for something that meets your needs.

Apple tech helped me 60 min ago. Told me to create new account for wife. Wiped out her ipod music--now iTunes wont let me download it in her new account so I can restore her music! Help!!

Today an Apple tech helped me 60 min ago. Although my wife and I have diff apple ID's, our music was mixing and syncin back and forth. The tech told me to create new comp user account for wife which I did. I wiped out everything on her ipod and signed in under her ID. When I tried to put it back I got a message that I couldn't download her purchased music for 90 days because there was another apple ID associated with my computer. Not sure wether that means mine or hers. What I am sure of is that I'm dead if I can't get her music back. Please help. Thanks, Craig

I can understand how that would be frustrating. If you created a brand new Apple ID for her, your Apple ID should not have been affected any more than anyone else's. They are as separate from one another as your Apple ID is from mine.
Since you just bought your MacBook Air, you can certainly contact AppleCare for this, and I encourage you to do so. They will straighten it out.
Until then, if you want to troubleshoot this on your own, sign in to your Apple ID here:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click the blue "Manage your Apple ID" button. If it says it no longer exists or gives you other hassles, it's probably not worth your effort to pursue. Have Apple fix it.
Contact Apple starting with this link - never Google it: http://www.apple.com/support/
Navigate the pages as follows:
Under "Contact Us" click the blue "Contact Support" link
Click the blue "Get Started" button
Click "More Products & Services"
Click "Apple ID"
Click "iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store"
Continue with the appropriate options and choose the contact method most convenient for you.
