I just bought a new ipod and I'm trying to download my itunes library and games but itunes is not recognizing my new ipod. I have followed all the instructions from apple asistant except deleting and reinstalling itunes.  What can I do.

I bought a  new Ipod (5th generation).  I am trying to sync it to my itunes.  I tunes does not recognize my new ipod. It is registered.  I was only able to download purchases I made from my old ipod.  I cannot download my itunes library or any of the games I have purchased. I tried using the troubleshooting guide to no avail.  The only thing I did not do was to uninstall and reinstall itunes.  I did update it to the latest version. How can I get  itunes to recognize my new ipod?

- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
- Have you tried everthing here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You should
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Your library/media will not be affected.
- Does the iPod charge?

    Plug it back in and restore it from the backup that is made everytime you sync your phone. iPhone forums are here:

I have followed all the instructions, it still isn't working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all that the steps told me to, I've updated everything in my computer. I don't know what else to do. My phone will just show the apple sign and the itunes plug in sign.

  • HT1212 I have followed all the instructions listed above, but I have not been successful with unlocking my iPod. It is currently disabled due to a forgotten passcode. Are there any additional options that I have to unlock my iPod touch?

    Are there other alternatives to unlock my iPod touch and reset my passcode? I have followed all instructions posted and my iPod is still disabled. Can anyone provide recommendations on this matter?

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • My i pod touch is not being recognized by windows 7, I have done all the suggestions through apple website, and still the problem persists.

    I have done everything that Apple Support has suggested, What can I do to fix this issue without having to replace the ipod?

    I am afraid that the solution did not work... the ipod touch of mine seems really not functioning. It receives an electric isgnal from the computer but it doesnt sync at all... Whenever I put my ipod touch off and plug it to my computer it turns on but it doesnt sync... .. Moreover, I have used different PCs so as to try it syncing.. I have used mac book pro and windows 7 laptops but it gives similar feedback, which is NO FEEDBACK at all...

  • TS1277 In The last Apple Itunes update it deleted the file MSVCR80.DLL, how do I get it back, i have followed all the instructions to remedy this lost file to no avail.

    In the last Apple Itunes update it deleted the file Msvcr80.dll, how do get it back so I can download Itunes again? 

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
    If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

  • HT4352 I have followed all the instructions on home sharing and it used to work perfectly.  With the new apple OS upgrade my apple TV now longer sees anything, even though I I applied all home sharing settings again.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    I am trying to get home sharing to work on the applie tv and its not working after a Mac OS update.  It has not worked for about a month and use to work fine.  Has anyone else experienced this problem.  Is Apple working on a fix for the problem?  Is there a work around?
    Thanks,

    A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
    Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports

    Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
    Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
    If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

  • TS3992 I'm trying to switch over to my new iPhone and every time I get to the point of inputting my icloud details, a message appears stating no backup available. I have followed all the instructions detailed above but no success. I've been trying to for

    Loosing patience :
    I've tried for 2months to switch over to my new 4s, but every time I enter my apple ID to retrieve backup from icloud. I'm informed no back up available.
    Given tried for 2months, I'm tempted to bin it and get an alternative phone.

    As you backup the iPhone in iTunes, it overwrites the last backup. Files are kept as they are changed, so that would explain how you get different dates in your backup folder. The only backups that are saved and not overwritten are the ones done just prior to a restore. You do have the option to go back in time on a Windows computer, however depending on the last time you set a restore point in Windows, it could be back further than you are willing to go.

  • HT201407 I want to change carriers I have followed all the instructions but my iphone 4 will still not accept the new carriers sim

    I want to change carriers but my iphone 4s will not accept the new carriers sim?

    Did you deal with your previous carrier and they agreed to unlock your iPhone?  You got the inforamtion about restoring and then got the welcome message you were unlocked?  Perhaps the sim you are trying to use is not valid, can you try another and see if that works?

  • TS5376 After following all the instructions to remove itunes and reinstall I am still unable to download Itunes setup

    I have followed all the instructions for uninstalling all the componets of Itunes in order to reinstall Itunes but I am still unable to download Itunes installer or setup.  How do I fix this issue?

    I couldn't download from the normal download link provided (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/), but I searched the internet and found this link from apple support that worked for me to download  iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit):  http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1615 

  • I downloaded a ringtone from Itunes and apple owned company to my Iphone4 and then followed all the instructions sent to itunes on pc and synced back to iphone still got squat. Why does apple need to be so hard for something so simple.

    I downloaded a ringtone from itunes (an apple company) to my iphone4 (an Apple product). Followed all the instructions from "Help" boards, sent to itunes on my pc converted to m4r synced back to iphone and still got squat. I thought iphones and apple were supposed to be so user friendly? Any other phone you download a ringtone click on it "use as ringtone" and your done.

    Frank, thanks for your note.  I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it.  Too much to ask?
    And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first.  [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.]  That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
    Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so.  As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely.  You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
    Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
    So, ... is this result something you have heard of before?  Do you know of a one-step solution?  Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

    You have entirely too little free space on the boot drive, for best performance it's best to have hard drives only 50% filled max and never more than 80% filled.
    See Storage Drive here and reduce some space also make a seperate bootable clone backup of all your data BEFORE upgrading
    Most commonly used backup methods
    see here for how to find your disk space
    Why is my computer slow?
    If you upgrade and it doesn't go right or slows the machine down you might need to erase and install, which all your programs will have to be reinstalled from original sources and files from backup.
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    If you can't do this, then hire a local PC/Mac specialist.
    Do not upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 on that older machine, it will slow down and you will lose all your PPC based programs.
    Leave the Lions for a brand new machine with a SSD drive.

    Bought the Iphone 6   2 days ago. My mac pro finds the phone on bluetooth but phone will not discover ANY bluetooth divices. Have hard reset the phone and restarted as well. nothing. Any suggestions or issues. This is the first apple phone I have owned. Am not very happy that Bluetooth would present a problem.

    I can't help with the other devices but note that an iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458
