    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

    Delete the song from your Itunes music list, then redownload it, Itunes will ask you if you if you want to download it for free.  This seems to be the fix for my problems.

  • When i plug my ipod into itunes it shows the music i put on there, but when i disconnect it says i have no music.

    I have a 6th generation ipod nano, When i plug it into the itunes it shows the music i have on there, but when i disconnect it says i have no music. What do i do?

    You may want to do a Restore on the iPod in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If the problem is caused by data corruption in the iPod's storage, a Restore should fix it.

  • When I plug my ipod in itunes doesnt recognise it ... what is wrong???

    i plug my ipod in and the itunes doesnt do anything ive trying installing new itunes but that doesnt work. when it get plugged in it says on the ipod that its charging but it doesnt charge. ive used 3 different cords and ive reset the ipod many times. i dont know whats wrong can anyone help???

    well, don't bother with a cable, I haven't seen anyone say that that solved the problem yet....I have similar problems with a nano 1G-In addition to being seen by the PC as an "unknown device", it won't play songs....it says it is playing, but the time elapsed never changes. When the battery gets very low, then my PC and I-tunes recognizes it, and starts to restore, but then gives error 1437 & 1418.I am quite sure the problem is in the i-pod, and have seen many others with the same symptoms, so apple is aware of it. They need to start replacing these if they don't have a fix. Mine is less than a year old......If anyone gets any info, post it, and I will do the same...

  • Why when i plug my iPod Touch 4th gen in does it not ask me to upgrade to iOS 5?

    my ipoid is a 4th generation touch and ive seen the upgrade for ios5 and when i plugged it in it was supposed to ask me if i wanted to upgrade and it never has. ive tried unplugging it and then plugging it back in but it wont ask me and i cant see that theres any other way to do it. also when i check the summary page and click on check for update it tells me that this is the current version.

    it wont ask you if its already installed on it.
    but you can always download it manually from internet and
    connect your  ipod back in itunes pess shift and click update for a pc, press options and click update for a mac. Then select where you saved the file after downloading.
    befor that if the file is in .zip format you have to change it to .ipsw format for it to show in tunes......
    cheers

  • I shop for for apps on my ipod touch and when i plug my ipod into itunes and it says erase and sync what does that mean?

    hello all,
    i normally shop on my ipod touch (because frankly i cant be bothered to plug it into itunes then shop! ) to shop for apps and song and etc. and because i have a wall charger in my room theres pratically no need to go the computer! so sometimes when im on the computer i want to use my ipod touch as well so i charge it on the pc.
    well to cut the story short everytime i want to shop on itunes it comes up with this note that says "your ipod is synced with a different pc etc" then it comes up with erase and sync? so my question is what does syn mean? because im worried if i choose ok it would get rid of all my apps
    - someone help me!

    - It means what it says.  Your iPod is synced with a different iTunes library.  To transfer purchases to this computer:
