IPod wont sync to laptop after installing newer itunes update

I installed an itunes update and after restarting my computer it would not sync at all. Also when plugged into my computer it no longer showed up as "Jims iPod" but just "Apple iPod" under devices where i cannot edit it in anyway. I uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it then getting the message " iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because of a newer version of iTunes" i did some tinkering (renamed itunes library as library.itl" and iTunes was able to open again however still couldnt sync. WHAT DO I DO? I have tried everything and its not appearing in iTunes at all.

Try:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • Cs4 wont open on mavericks after installing new Java update

    Cs4 (photoshop and illustrator) wont open on mavericks after installing new Java update.
    I have tried installing both from the auto prompt (which came up as 'software update') as well as directly downloading from this link: Java for OS X 2014-001
    either way when i try to open a cs4 program the icon simply bounces around for a minute then it comes up "program not responding"
    anyone have any ideas?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi Matthew,
    First of all, you should be able to check in your HD/Library/Receipts folder to see what has been installed by looking for the .pkg of it.
    re: "I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine"
    You should not be offered updates that are not intended for your System through Software Update. Software Update, as far as I know, reads the .pkg files in your Receipts folder and will offer what you need from that. (I believe that is correct....perhaps someone will correct me if I'm wrong)
    Did you Repair Permissions from Disk Utility before and after the update?
    If not I would try running Repair Permissions (HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions).
    I've found that with Security Updates that it is very important to Repair Permissions before and after updating.

    installed new itunes update and now it will not sync with outlook. it says it will only do it through the Icloud. How can i change it

    Hello xtremejoe
    I find that changing some settings in your syncing options will get syncing working again, like enabling Manually manage music and videos.

  • After a new Itunes update, itunes now treats me like a new customer, all of my podcasts playlists have gone??

    After a new Itunes update Itunes no longer has my playlists, music or podcasts, It thinks i am a new customer. Also internet explorer will not work and goes to "front page" ? What has happened, have I got a bug?

    Read this Apple Discussion Thread and possible solutions. The audio jack has been the main culprit, also certain sync and automation settings including connected remotes.

  • System error when installing new itunes update

    Cannot install latest itunes update...?

    thats a bit confusing, it's a red message but it says warning
    I tried the other programm mentioned above but still I get the same warning.
    in the report it's clear that the font installed is not used in the output on the screen. I can add the font in my sapscript but the output is not the font specified.
    the font installed is Lucida sans EF which is part of the 'company' style but till now not yet implemented in SAP.
    oops it's working now, new learning moment for me. never look at preview on screen for the kind of font you want to see , thanks for the input and confirmation of the procedure

  • Warning!  Songs were removed from iTunes Library after installing new iTunes and iPad/iPod Sync

    I purchased the iPad 2 yesterday, updated my itunes software, and itunes messages indicated that it would not allow certain songs to be included in my library any longer since these were not purchased from iTunes.  Many of the songs were from CDs that I stored on this library for several years.  Only after I upgraded iTunes with this new iPad was my music removed.  Luckily I still have my music on my iPod, but my iTunes library on my laptop contains only the music I have purchased from iTunes with the last 18 months.  Weirdly, except for one particular song that iTunes said was not purchased from them, but it was part of an entire album purchase from iTunes.  Also, all of the movies I purchased from iTunes were also removed. I am not able to sync any movies onto my iPad. 
    I restored the iPad a second time, reinstalled the itunes and have the same result.  All of my older archived music is gone from the iTunes library. 
    Warning, if you want your music, back it up before installing the latest iTunes particularly if you have the new iPad 2.

    Hmm, it is only very recently (about 6 months ago I think) that the policy on Music changed. Prior to that you would be routinely reminded to back up all purchases (immediately after the successfully completed download), unless of course you ticked an option not to be reminded again. The change in policy (in our favour) would have been noted in the small print that neither you or I read when upgrading iTunes, though we say that we have.
    Again I'm still not certain if audiobooks are excluded from both "Music" and "Books". One would hope that they belonged to one category or the other in respect of redownloading. In the past, in the event of an absolute disaster, fatal hard-drive crash, fire etc. some users have been able to prevail upon the charity of the iTunes store staff who would occasionaly grant a second, but never a third, download of past purchases.
    The restictions on different types of media are ultimately imposed by the rights holders, not Apple. It is in Apple's interests to offer the same terms as their competitors, so my guess is that nobody currently offers unlimited repeat downloads of movies. Certainly the unique codes you get on some DVDs/Blu-Rays are one-time only.
    Backup all (or at least the non-replaceable parts) of your library with this User Tip.

  • Computer crashed after installing new itunes version

    My laptop just crashed after installing the new 9.0.2 upgrade. Upon reboot I received a dos screen that said my computer shut down due to a recent download and asked if I wanted to reboot in safe mode or normal mode. I chose to reboot normally and the computer would not boot. Now my laptop won't power up at all. Is there anything I can do, or has itunes killed my laptop??

    Please help me ! I don't understand why I had to restore to factory settings and then when I tried to re-sync  it kept telling me iTunes is not working. Why ??

  • HT1926 Problems synchronizing iPod touch after installing latest iTunes update

    After having installed the latest iTunes update I can't sync my iPod touch with iTunes anymore. Error message reads: Attempting to copy to the disk "Acer" failed. The device is not connected." I already re-installed iTunes completely. Another error message says: "iTunes could not back up the iPod because the iPod is disconnected". But the iPod was connected. What can I do?

    Temporarily disable any security software on the computer.

  • Manual update after Installing New iTunes

    After downloading the new iTunes, everytime I plug my iPod in, it tries to automatically sync my iPod with my library. But if it does this, I will lose thousands of songs because I had it on manual before. It won't let me change any options for the iPod until it's done downloading. Can anyone help me out with this? And please let me know, that is what iTunes is trying to do right?

    Hold shift and ctrl keys, WHILE HOLDING connect the ipod and do not let go til the ipod is listed in itunes. THis stops and auto update.
    Now on the new "iPod summery" page make sure "Manually manage songs and videos" is checked, If not check it and hit "Apply" button in the lower righthand corner

  • Why won't Windows XP automatic updates work after installing new ITunes

    After installing the new 11.1 Itunes, Windows automatic updates fail to install any new updates.
    The last time this happened was when I last updated Itunes. I can't remember how I fixed it but I had to go into the apple software and fix something.
    Please help!

  • Unable to login to my WindowsPC after installing new iTunes version 7.4.3.1

    Hi all,
    I just received an alert saying a new version of iTunes was available and I went ahead and installed it. After the install the system prompted me to restart. I did the restart and now I am unable to log back into the system.
    I tried my local and domain accounts and all that happens is it starts the login process and says loading local settings and then says logging off and gives me back the login screen.
    I am unable to gain access to the system through normal settings and or safe mode. I fear that if this is a iTunes problem we're going to have major problems at my clients who do allow this application on their network.
    Any thoughts, issues on or about this?
    Please advise.
    Thank you,
    ~The Suite~

    Hi Timmy,
    Thank you for the comments and feedback. I had logged into the system when I got in this morning and nothing else was installed nor changed. The iTunes update was the only change between the successful login and now me being unable to login.
    I am doing some rollbacks and will see what happens.
    Thank you,

  • Problems after installing new security update-help?

    Hi, how can I verify what I recently downloaded on my mac. I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine. I have doubts as my machine runs like **** now. Apps take forever to open, screensaver comes on when its set to never, printer won't work, etc. Also, if it was just a bad download, can I just try loading it again over the last one? First, I'd love to see what i downloaded. Thanks. In a bind. Never had this happen before. Running 10.3.9

  • Cannot install new itunes update windows 7

    I get the following error message when I try to update to the new iTunes version:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in the box below.

    I am trying to install the latest version and have been receiving the same error message for about a month. After that message this one pops up:
    "The path C:\Users\****\App Data\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes64.msi" cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes"
    And then this one:
    "Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually."
    When I use Download Only and try to install manually as suggested, I get this message:
    "The older version of iTunes cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group."
    Can anyone please help me resolve this?
    Thank you!

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
