I cannot click on the IPOD administrator when connected to Itunes and get the song listing on the IPOD shuffle. All I get is the IPOD shuffle settings screen (showing Software version 1.0.4, capacity, serial # etc)- no listing of the songs, This is a recent problem - in the last 2 weeks. I have downloaded latest IPOD and ITUNES software and it does not fix the problem.
Can someone please help?

If you are seeing the Settings screen, instead of the Summary screen, your shuffle is an older 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, is that correct? This document shows the four types of shuffles

If it's 1st or 2nd gen, look on the iTunes window where it says Settings. To the right of Settings, it says On This iPod. Click on On This iPod to see the list of songs on the shuffle.

Thanks for the solution. I feel so dumb - it was such an easy fix!
Not dumb... 🙂 It's actually a bit confusing with the latest version of iTunes, and it only affects 1st and 2nd gen shuffle users.
Before, it was Settings and Content. And they clearly looked like separate "tab" choices. iTunes 11 changed the wording to Settings and On This iPod, and it's harder to see the separation as "button" choices. So, it looks like it says, "Settings on this iPod." On other iPods, it starts with Summary (not Settings) there are more button choices there (not just two), so it's not as confusing that the last one is On This iPod.
Thanks for reporting back with the outcome.
How do I see the lists of songs on my 3rd generation iPod Shuffles in iTunes now??
This doesn't help me. I have an ipod touch and only see purchased songs. I have playlists, songs downloaded from cds, songs from my computer library that do not show up in itunes on my computer but they are on my ipod. I need to see them in order to edit them. It appears to have happened right after I cancelled my subscription to Apple Music.
Can't see the songs listed on the IPOD in Itunes
