Why can't I see my ipod in itunes?

I can;t see my ipod musique list in itunes, what do I nee to do to find it?

This happened to me just the other day. It's possible that this might fix it...
I suggest you try what worked for me:
Turn on the Prevent iPods from Syncing automatically option, then close iTunes.
When you open iTunes again, turn this option back off and close iTunes once again.
The next time you open iTunes, try connecting the iPod. Does it work now?
Use CTRL and the , (comma) buttons, to open the Device Preferences shown here:

Why can't I see Apple TV in iTunes?

Why can't I see Apple TV in iTunes so that I can synch it?

The current ATV generation has no storage and therefore nothing to sync.

Why can't I see my iPod Touch in iTunes

I've carefully followed the trouble shooting guide, re-installed iTunes, restarted the computer and yet the iPod is not being recognized by iTunes, hence I could not add apps and sync them to my iTouch 4th Gen. What else should I do?

No, they use different cables. I have the iPhone 5 which uses the lightning cable and the iPod Touch 4th Gen which uses the 30 pin connector. But I don't think the cable might be the issue since the iPod charges when I insert the cable through the USB port.
I've carefully followed the instructions on the "additional information" page but could not find this
Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig and drag it to the trash. Still I went through the process till the end, restarted the MBP and re-installed iTunes but the device can't still be recognized by iTunes.
I've tried resetting/restoring the device, but got stuck on that part where an arrow and the cable with the word iTunes was displayed on the iPods screen because I could not go any further since it still did not appear in iTunes. Therefore there was no way for me to click the restore button to reset the device.
The only other option for me is to try it on another computer, maybe try it on my office desktop. I hope it somehow resolves the problem. I will make an update of my progress when it happens.

Why can I not see shared applications on iTunes on a Mac but can on Itunes under Windows

Hello
1. I have a Mac Laptop, a Windows 7 laptop and an IPAD Air. I have an application on the IPad that shares files.
2. On both the Windows and Mac machines, I have the latest versions of ITunes installed.
3. With Image and IPhoto, I can browse the Documents directory of the shared application on the IPAD.
4. On the Windows Machine, on ITunes, under the Apps section, at the bottom of the screen, I can see the shared application and the shared Documents directory.
5. On my Mac Machine, on Itunes, under the Apps section, at the bottom of the screen, I can NOT see the same shared application on the IPAD that I see on the Windows machine.
6. In the upper right corner of Itunes on the MAC it does show "1 App" but I see no way to click on the app under ITunes and to browse the shared directory on the IPad
Any thoughts on what I have to do to make the Shared App show up on the Mac that shows up on the Windows machine in ITunes?

Did you put your audiobooks on your computer?
They will only be where you put them. You need to copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

Why can't I sync my ipod with iTunes 7.0.2?

I'm using itunes 7.0.2 and am having problems syncing my ipod. I have recently formatted my computer and reinstalled everything, including itunes. My whole library was lost. When I reinstalled itunes the library was empty and so it erased all the songs off my ipod when i connected and synced it. I later filled the library in the newly installed itunes and now when i want to sync the ipod it says "Songs on the ipod "XY" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I also can't update manually,so i'm basically left with a useless ipod.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
J
Windows XP

Thank you for your effort but when i create a new smart playlist and choose it as the playlist to sync to, i get the message "You changed your ipod settings. Would you like to apply them?" When i click APPLY, i get a new message, saying "The ipod "XY" cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50)." Also, my nano goes to charge mode (no "don not disconnect" sign) as soon as i get the old message "The ipod cannot be updated because the playlist no longer exist"...

Why can't I sync my iPod to iTunes wirelessly?

I have windows 7, the latest version of iTunes, an iPod Touch 4th generation with iOS 5 installed. I have checked the "sync iPod by wi-fi" and have synced the iPod whilst still plugged in, and I am on the same wireless network, I am plugged into a power source, and I have restarted the iPod, iTunes, and even the entire computer itself, and yet the device is still not recognized when not connected and I still cannot sync wirelessly. I can view and play shared files from my computer wirelessly, but I cannot sync or even be discovered wirelessly. I've read forum after forum, tried advice after advice (afore mentioned) yet nothing... What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do right?

Yeah, same issue with me. Connected on the same network yet my iPod doesn't automatically appear in iTunes. So basically, we can't sync wirelessly on demand? What gives?

Why can't i see my artwork from iTunes on my iPhone 5?

Recently i'm having trouble seeing my iTunes artwork on my iPhone. I have the album cover to every album, but when i put the songs on my iPhone i don't see it. Is there something else that i have to do?

Since we have no way of knowing what all the instructions are that you are referring to .... first quit iTunes, restart your Touch, restart your PC and start all over again.
Then ...
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
Also assuming that you are signed into the same Apple ID on the Touch that you are using in iTunes - the ID that you used to purchase the music - if it is purchased music that will not sync.

Why can't I see a movie in itunes although it shows as playing? The screen is black.

I played a movie last night and I have two others to watch. I selected one and the movie launched. The timer indicates it is showing. However, the screen is black. I thought there might be someting wrong with this movie, so I selected the other movie and I have the same issue. Now both movies are going to expire and I can't watch either one. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Hey there Dhart52215,
It sounds like you were not able to watch a rental because the video was black, and had no audio. That can be pretty frustrating, and I would start by reporting a problem with the rentals to the iTunes Store support directly with this article:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1933
I would also recommend using the following article to help troubleshoot the video issue on the computer, to help prevent this from happening to you again:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Why can't I see my devices in iTunes?

The support page says if I click File, I will see a menu item "Devices." That item does not appear.

This fix has been tested in Windows 8.1 using iTunes 11.3.0.54
Plug in your Apple Device via the USB port on your computer
Open Device Manager
Navigate to Portable Devices in the list of devices listed
Right click on your Apple Device
Select Update Driver Software
Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software
In this Window navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
Once you have selected the Drivers folder ensure “Include Subfolders” is selected and click “Next”
This should then solve your problem, the device should then reconnect to Windows and the Device should appear in iTunes.

Why can't I see my content in itunes when I'm not online?

With my ipad connected to my imac, and NOT being online, the imac's itunes shows the ipads itunes content, but attermpting to call it up on the ipad itself, I get the "cannot connect to the istore" prompt with no content visible.

Sometimes a simple restart or reset of the iPad will help.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't work, check out this support article.

Hi,
Have you tried to see if you have the newest version of iTunes? Also, it may help if you try the following steps.
Download iOS from a third-party website (i reccomend http://whited00r.com/) (as this is a full operating system, it is a big download and may take time on a slow internet connection)
Unzip the file.
After unzipping, you should now have a .ipsw file.
Open iTunes
Connect your device and make sure you take a back-up of it first (if you don't all your data will be erased)
Now, while pressing the Restore button, hold down the Alt key (for Mac) or the Shift key (for Windows).
You should now have a window open asking you to choose a file.
Choose the file you just downloaded from whited00r.com
Press OK
It should start replacing your current OS to the new one.
When this finishes, your device will restart
Click restore from (whatever your old device was called)
It will put back all your apps and information

Why can't I see the "código fuente" on my VER button?

Why can't I see the "código fuente" on my "VER" button?

I don't really understand what you are asking. There is no iTunes Player. iTunes on your computer is not the same as iTunes on your iPad/iPhone/iPod. On an iOS device, iTunes is just a store, where you buy music, rent or buy movies. The music you have in your iTunes library on your computer can be synced to your iPad and you choose what music you want to sync to your iPad while your iPad is connected to your computer in iTunes. When you are not connected to your computer via iTunes, any music you did not sync to your iPad will not be viewable in iTunes, thus it can't be played because you did not sync it to your iPad. I don't I can make this any clearer.........
