Wont recognize my ipod music

i bought an ipad today; upgraded my itunes--64 bit vista.
i have about 2000 songs in my library. my pc will play any of the songs but when i go to synch the i pad to the itunes library, suddenly '!' shows up next to all but 23 songs. the computer then says it can't find the other 1900+ songs.
even if i disconnect the ipad and try to play the songs from the library it says it can't locate the song.
HOWEVER, if i disconnect the ipad AND then shut down itunes==when i turn itunes back on, i can play all the songs in my library, no problem, no '!'.
the minute i hook up the ipad and it starts to synch...the '!' again appears next to most of the songs. and again the computer can't locate the songs.
what is happening? does it have anything to do with my having a 64 bit vista program. i did download the 64 bit itunes update.

Are they music from I tunes or from some other place? They may be mp3 and you need to convert them to mp4. They must be in a file on your computer and you must place them back into iTunes.

    Hello xerxes.nashion,
    It sounds like your iPod is not recognized by iTunes or your MacBook Pro.  I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:

  • I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  What do I do???

    I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed.  The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod.  My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything.  It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music.  I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't.  I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!?  What do I do???

    You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC.  Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

  • Pc wont recognize my ipod touch

    what do i do if my pc wont recognize my ipod touch

    I had the same problems following the updater update on my ipod and pc. it became so bad that the mini pod became fried and i brought it back under warranty for a new one (and service charge of about $35 to swap them out!). When I got home I reinstalled all of the software from installation to itunes and it seemed to work. then i updated as prompted to the newer ipod software and got a serious error message again like before on my ipod and off and on recognition on itunes. i erased software again, reset pod a few times, and reinstalled without allowing the ipod updater to do anything to the original software. now it works again. warning against the updater. keep it old and simple.

  • Itunes doesn't recognize my ipod, music folder error

    my pc recognizes ipod but itunes doesn't recognize it. i bought my ipod classic 120 gb last week. first time, everything was alright and itunes were syncing well... but after a day, itunes started to not recognize my ipod. i tried lots of things to fix it; uninstalling and reinstalling itunes; restarting my ipod; i did the things in this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US; i installed floola etc etc... but nothing's changed...
    and, there's a "ipod_control/music folder" error... how can i fix it?

    this osunds similar to the problem I am having with a ipod classic 120 gig model. Itunes is saying that the ipod wont work without itunes 8.0 and to download thelatest version of itunes. And I have the latest version of itunes- 8.2. and it still does not recognize my ipod.

    I recently upgraded to the newest iTunes version and now my older Ipod is no longer recognized by my computer. iTunes doesnt open, it just gives me an error message in the bottom right corner saying Unknown Device. Ive tried looking for / updating drivers, reseting, everything and nothing works. I tried every USB port on my laptop as well. Running Win XP. Can anyone offer any other suggestions on how i can fix this???
    Thanks

    Its been working perfectly for 4 years until last week. I have the USB/FireWire combo for hooking it up to my computer. It worked with all the older version of iTunes and now that 7.1.1 is on there, it wont recognize it at all. The computer is convinced there are no drivers for the "unknown device" and all searches performed for the missing drivers come up empty. The computer cannot see the iPod as an iPod, and none of this happened until I downloaded the most recent iTunes.

  • New itunes wont recognize my ipod

    i few days ago my ipod ran out of battery so i plugged it into the wall charger. the apple logo came up for a long time and when it went away all my songs were gone! so i plugged it into my labtop and itunes told me to update so i installed the new itunes and new updater. but now itunes won't recognize my ipod mini. and on my ipod in the about section, it says 0 songs, capactiy: 3.7 GB, space left: 1.7 GB. how could taht happen? i don't even have any songs and i only have 1.7 GB left? Please help me!

    olemadrid, I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread, It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.
    Good luck.
