Videos and Music aren't showing up on my video iPod?

So I have a regular 30 gb iPod video. I haven't used it in like 2 months, so yesterday I plugged it in and it said I needed to download a software update, so I did, and after that no music or videos show up on my iPod when I disconnect it! It says they're on there on iTunes, and when i go under the settings in the iPod it says that lots of space is taken up by them, which I guess means the music and videos are on there, but i can't get to them...and I can view my pictures, but no music or videos =(





Also, if I click on the iPod link under my computer, theres like a note and photo folder and stuff, but no music or videos folder!! please someone help me!

try this: go to add/remove programs %26gt; hilight iTunes %26gt; support info appears below %26gt; click on support info and select REPAIR %26gt; allow iTunes to repair. when it's finished open iTunes and select HELP from the upper tool bar. select shck for updates from the drop down window that appears and allow it to update if need be.





meanwhile, slide the hold button (across from headphone jack) back and forth on your ipod. then hold the menu button and center button down at exactly the same time. do this till an apple appears on the screen. this is called a soft reset.





now connect the iPod to your computer and see what happens!! make sure you don't have manually manage music selected. it should work for you. let me know! this is interesting!!
Reply:You should make sure the video is MP4 or H2.64 video for iPod
Reply:I had this same problem. Make sure your iTunes software is updated to the latest version...that fixed it for me.





I updated the iPod software --but not the iTunes software. That was the cause of the problem. As soon as I brought iTunes up to the lastest version -my music showed up on the iPod again.
Reply:hmm





maybe when you installed the software, your music and videos got deleted :S





or if that isnt the case...i guess the only thing i can suggest is to reset your iPod and add everything back again D:
