Music won't show up but is still on iPod // 80GB 5G iPod

itsmematt · #1 September 18th, 2007, 02:36 PM

So here's the deal. I just updated to iTunes 7.4.2 and now my iPod will not display my playlists/music. When I click on the iPod icon in iTunes and show the display tab it says that I have 70.4 BG of data in "Other" no music, no movies.

So I then double click on my iPod on my desktop only to see that what is on that directory is still just what I had put on there for data transfer and storage. I really have the feeling that I just need to redirect my music to another directory. I haven't heard of anyone else running into this problem. Since the data is still on the "Hard Drive" portion of my iPod I know that the music is still there. If you can help me I just want to transfer all this music onto my computer using Senuti and restore my iPod. I have some music on this iPod that I might not ever be able to get again.

I would love any help that you might be able to bestow upon me. Apple of couse said that there is no way, but I'm sure they are worried about piracy.

THANKS.
PLEASE.

First try resetting the iPod by pressing and holding the centre button and menu at the same time until it restarts. If this doesn't work you could try a piece of software called Senuti which lets you copy music from your iPod back to yuo computer.

He mentioned Senuti already. Wants to have it solved without this long process of having to redo the complete library.

Apologies for that, I got interrupted while reading the original post and missed the last bit of that paragraph. Still might be worth a reset to see if that helps.

I tried resetting my iPod and I still didn't get anything. It's really weird because without plugging it into a computer it appears as though it was totally wiped clean. But when I plug it into my computer I then I get reminded that my iPod is taunting me by showing all 70+ GBs of music and not letting me have it. My iPod is a bitch, right now.

Senuti isn't working, then?

No it only reads your music library and since iTunes can't read the music library Senuti isn't doing the trick either.
