Won't show my playlists when ipod is connected!

I'm not sure what the problem is with my itunes. I had to restore my ipod and ever since when I connect to itunes it just shows the name of my ipod but doesn't show the playlists that I have on the ipod underneath the name. How do I get it set back so I can see and edit the playlists on my ipod when it's connected to itunes????
Thanks!
Sara

I have it set on manual. When I plug in my ipod it shows up and I see all my songs on the right, but the playlists that I have on the ipod don't show up....I just see the list of playlists on my itunes. My husband and I share our itunes so I don't do automatic updates. How would I delete a playlist off my ipod if I can't see the names of the playlists that are on it??
Thanks for your help!

ITunes still shows license agreement when iPod is connected

I have a Nano, and while the songs will sync up with it when it's hooked up to the computer, iTunes won't show anything under the iPod tab except for the license agreement, and it won't let me get past that.

Do you see a "Continue" button on the license agreement page? If not, you may need to (temporarily) change your computer's display resolution so that the button appears on the screen.

About the TV Shows in iTunes when iPod is connected.

There is always a place the let me choose or to name the video whether it is a music video, TV Shows or a common video clip in my iTunes before.
But, after I did update my iTunes to Version 8.0.0.35 days ago, there is no more choice to let me select the video clip to those categories(Music Videos, TV Shows or Videos) and the lines of those words or the title of the choice of the categories were disappeared.
So, I wanna know the way to fix this problem. Can anyone help? Thanks a lot.

Thanks very much The problem solved!

Itunes will not start when ipod is connected

3G nano ipod when connected to windows xp,, Windows Expoler opens and shows ipod as "M" drive. But itunes starts only when I click icon on my desktop and dose not start when ipod is connected. When itunes runs it sees my ipod and all works fine. I have the box under Devices checked to start itunes when ipod connected. Thanks for your help

Hello Loggroller,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you talking about the *Open iTunes when this iPod is connected* option from under your iPod's Summary tab? If not, make sure you have this option ticked as well.
It might not hurt to try and remove and re-install iTunes and all Apple related software using these instructions.

When Ipod is connected to Itunes, music that is used to have is listed, but, when disconnected, the ipod appears as if there is no music. Hasn't happened to the movies. Anyone have any ideas?

Since you did not mentioned about sync issues or problem, error messages.
You have to Sync the iTunes library with your iPod.

ITunes does not start automatically when iPod is connected

iTunes used to start automatically when I connected iTunes. It no longer does. Can I fix that?
Dave

Connect your iPod and open iTunes. Towards the bottom of the iPod screen, there are four check boxes. The top one says "Open iTunes when iPod is connected." Check that box and click apply. If it is checked, uncheck it and click apply, eject and reconnect your iPod, then recheck it and click apply.

ITunes doesn't start automatically when ipod is connected.

Even though I have clicked on the place that says itunes will start automatically when iPod is connected to pc, it doesn't. I have to click on iTunes everytime, and then it takes a while to run.
Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?

hi joyful!
just checking. reboot the PC, and prior to launching itunes or plugging in the ipod, bring up your Task Manager to the "processes" tab.
is there an iTunesHelper.exe running in your processes?

Having itunes open when ipod is connected

Nano 4th generation--iTunes always opened when iPod was connected to computer; now it doesn't and going to Devices and scrolling down Summary to "open when ipod is connected" is greyed out and will not allow me to check it. Even going to the iTunes preferences does not offer this selection.

You meant that you can't place a check mark in the check box "Open iTunes when device connected" ?
Just do a little test: Click on Music and see if you can put there a check mark.

Itunes wont automatically open when ipod is connected

Hello there
basically the above ^^ itunes wont open automatically when ipod is connected ive tried the 5 steps and ive also tried the whole tray and exit thing its not WORKING!
all help much apprciated thanks

I have a interesting hunch that somehow Windows is doing something to you...
One thing you might want to see is if within Windows if the iPod service is running... As there are certain services which automatically get installed when itunes is loaded. These notice the device and loads the app..
Just for reference, here are my Windows Services and their status:
Apple Mobile Device - Started & Automatic
Bonjour - Started & Automatic
iPod Service - Started & Manual
I thought that a 4th service existed, but can't find it...
Have you tried uninstalling iTunes and downloading to reinstall it again, that might help.. Or else it has something deeper do to with your computer itself!
That's about all I can offer right now.

How to "Open iTunes automatically when iPod is connected"....

...without having them sync automatically? I'm able to do this on my MBP just fine. The solution on my MBP is to uncheck "prevent ipods, ipads, iphones from syncing automatically" under Devices Preferences. Then I'm able to check "Open iTunes when Ipod is connected" under my iPod's Summary Options. After that i can then go back a uncheck "prevents Ip.... from syncing automatically".
Unfortunately, this option doesn't seem to be available to Windows users. or is it?
Thanks,
Mike

this will solve half of my issue while coincidentally causing the other half of it.
I want to be able to:
Open iTunes automatically when iPod is connected
AND
Prevent my ipod from syncing automatically *(when this is enabled the prior feature becomes disabled)

I have purchased music from itunes on my iphone and it won't show up in my Ipod music library on my phone. It shows up in my itunes library on my computer. This is a recent glitch as up until this week purchased music downloads fine on phone.

I purchased music on itunes on my iphone and the songs won't show up in my music library on the phone. They are on my computer itunes library but it won't let me transfer the purchases back to my phone (which I have never had to do before). Never had this problem before this week when purchasing music on my iphone.
My Itunes library on my laptop is slightly different from my Iphone library so I don't want to erase and sync the entire library.

In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in. Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

Help!! 17+ rated apps won't show up on my Ipod Touch

Help!! None of the 17+ rated apps I downloaded from the app store will show up on my Ipod touch after I synch it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Also it won't let me dowload these apps from the app store on my ipod. Thanks
Found the problem. I couldn't find the parental controles so I thought it was some other problem. Thenks everyone

You probably have restrictions set.
Have a look at the manual:

MacBook won't boot when iPod is connected

I have the same problem as described here :
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4112865
My MacBook won't boot if my iPod 5G is connected to the USB port.
If I unplug it, it will boot normally.
Does anyone know what could cause that ?

<When iPod is plugged in at startup, the MacBook does not startup; unplugging iPod lets it startup.
yes, it seems that the kernel is not loading
<After resetting the iPod and BEFORE synching it, there is no problem. Any type of synching seems <to make this problem recur.
only syncing music make the problem occur.
the other syncing works ok
<Even if iPod is connected directly to Mac and it is the only USB device connected, the problem still <occurs.
yes
<The iPod and MacBook work fine if iPod is connected after startup.
Yes
<If the iPod is set to NOT mount to the desktop, the problem with startup does not occur.
Yes, but there are some problems in the boot/halt process.
something like "killing all" fails and unmounting /home fails (45) blabla...
and the stopping process takes very very long, about 2 minutes.
thx robert

Some artists won't show on 30 gb ipod video.

The last few artists on my ipod like zz top and those down there show up on my ipod when hooked up but not when un-hooked. Answers are appreciated.

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.
