Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
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.

IPod and iTunes not compatible with WinXP

It appears that the iPod (I have a 4GB nano) and iTunes (I tried what was on the CD, as well as the latest download of 6) are not compatible with Windows XP Media Center Edition (patched to the hilt, all the latest updates installed).
Installation works fine but iPod updater does not terminate cleanly and the iPod nano does not get rebooted properly, and although iTunes sees the iPod when it is plugged in, it does not recognize it from plug-in to plug-in (it's supposed to remember the name of the iPod device, and not re-prompt you to register, etc.).
Also, when attempting to copy MP3 files to the iPod, it appears as though they are copying but they do not wind up on the iPod no matter how hard you try.
Windows 2000 SP4, however, does not have any problems with the iTunes or iPod updater software and everything seems to work just fine.
It would behoove Apple to investigate the compatibility problem that their software has with Windows XP Media Center Edition, and fix it as soon as possible.

When i startup itunes it says:
"The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the Ipod's software"
I am on xp media center edition 2005
When I run the ipod updater it gives me "ipod service error"
What can i do?
I bought the 4gb nano just yesterday.
both my ipod and itunes software are the Updated September 23, 2005 versions
ps on my old pc with winxp sp2 barebones edition, it works fine...
maybe its cos in mce 2k5 i got 2 users?

Deperately need help with my iPod and Pioneer Car Stereo

I just bought Pioneer's newest deck from Best Buy. The Model number of the deck is DEH-P6800MP. It has a mini jack (2.5 mm stereo jack) on the front of the deck that you can plug your iPod into. I purchased the little adaptor that allows me to just plug the iPod in using the Headphone Jack. It works great. I can use my click wheel to navigate the menus and the sound is awesome...except for one thing, it only plays through the right side speakers. I thought maybe the Fader needed to be adjusted on the deck but everything is dead center. I thought maybe something was wrong with the deck but the Tuner and CD player both work perfectly. I even tried using different cables with no success. When I called Best Buy they told me they were familiar with the problem and to download the newest software for my iPod and it should fix it. It didn't! I am so frustrated by this. I paid alot of money for this deck thinking I wouldn't have to buy any additional interfaces and would never have to deal with an FM transmitter again. Can anybody help?
Fifth Generation 60 Gig iPod Windows XP

After plugging my walkman in and experiencing the same problem, I figured it must be the adaptor. I went to the local Radio Shack and picked up a mini-jack adaptor that was indeed Stereo. Thankfully it worked!!! I can't tell you how happy my family and I are to have all our music available in the family vehicle. Thanks for your help and @#$% Best Buy for selling me not one but two car stereos under the false pretense that I wouldn't need anything else to hook-up my iPod and then not having any idea how to help me when I needed it.

Help with syncing iPod to iTunes

Alright well, over the past few days I've had the problem where my iTunes wouldn't open AT ALL. I mean, nothing, no error message or anything, and then other problems. Finally after clearing out my registry and viruses I managed to get iTunes to open with no problems except one: when I plug my iPod in to sync, it now says that I do not have the required software on iTunes to sync the iPod. I don't know the problem, honestly, because I uninstalled and installed it again. Has anyone had all of these problems or at least the syncing one, and do you know how to help? Thank you.

Using unchecking to manage an iPod is an option but only if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
A better option to use when your iPod is smaller than the iTunes library is 'Sync Music - Selected playlists'.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano or Mini). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:

Help with Apple IDs and iTunes please

One family member has an iPad2 with one Apple ID that is authorized in iTunes on a Win7 laptop. That laptop has one Windows user account. Some apps, books, etc were purchased with that iPad2.
We recently got a hold of an old iPhone to use as an iPod Touch / super-mini iPad-Mini. Can I use a separate Apple ID for that iPhone on the same Win7 laptop in the same iTunes as above? So can iTunes (the program) on one computer be authorized for multiple Apple IDs? No apps, music, etc need to be shared.
Thank you!

If she doesn't have an iCloud account on her iPhone or iPad now, you can just go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with a different Apple ID to set up the new account, then turn on the data that you want to sync with iCloud. She can continue to use the same ID for the App and iTunes store; it doesn't need to be the same as the the ID she uses for iCloud.
If she is already sharing your iCloud account on her devices, you should go to Settings>iCloud on her phone, tap Delete Account (which only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud), when prompted choose Keep on My iPhone, then set up a new account by signing back in with a different Apple ID. Then turn on the data she wants to sync with iCloud, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload her data to the new account. After doing this on her phone, go to Settings>iCloud on her iPad, tap Delete Account, when prompted choose Delete from my iPad, then sign into the new account just created on her phone using the new ID and turn on her data syncing to sync the iCloud data in the new account to her iPad. Finally, if you have any merged data in your accounts from sharing the original account, you'll need to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and delete the data you don't want from each account.

IPod and iTunes not syncing properly

When I swipe a song to the right on my iPod and tap delete, a cloud appears with a down arrow. The song never leaves my iPod and I am still able to play it with the cloud/arrow showing. The cloud symbol remains after syncing and the song will still play. In fact the cloud symbol never goes away until I tap it. If I tap the cloud I get the circle/square symbol indicating it has been downloaded/added to my iPod. Conversely, when I drag music on iTunes to my iPod I see the green plus sign but the song does not appear on my iPod after syncing nor on iTunes. I also have unchecked music on iTunes listed for my iPod and they still don't go away after syncing.
iPod touch 5g, refurbished
iTunes 11.1.3 (8)

As a last ditch attempt I unchecked all the albums, artists and manually loaded songs on my iPod via iTunes and synced my iPod. After syncing there were 3 songs left on my iPod which I was able to delete in the normal fashion (sliding left and touching the red "Delete" prompt). I synced my iPod again. Now iPod was empty. I then loaded the songs I wanted by clicking and dragging the albums I wanted to my iPod via iTunes. I synced again and now my iPod has the songs that I currently want on it.

IPod and iTune not syncing

Hi, my iPod touch used iOS 6.1.5 and recently, when I add new songs to the iPod and sync with iTunes, the album covers are no longer that of the songs added. They somehow end up being all mixed up. I've tried deleting and re adding the songs but though they are correct on iTunes, they are extremely incorrect on the iPod.
Is there anyway beside restoring the iPod that I can have this corrected. I've got a total of almost 800 songs and I'm looking for a simple solution if one is available.
Thanks

If deleting all music and resyncing does not work then you have to restore.

IPod and iPhone4 not connecting to iTunes?

When I connect either my iPod Touch (1st Gen) or iPhone4 iTunes does not recognize it as a device and my computer thinks they are both just cameras. I just recently installed iTunes 10 and this whole problem started at that time. I've tried repairing iTunes but nothing happens. The only thing I can think of doing would be uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes once again. Is there a way to change the settings instead of reinstalling so both come up on iTunes?

Figured out the problem - the USB cable I was using would charge but not connect for some reason. Borrowed an official one from a friend and it connected without a problem. The one I got was from Belkin - I'm surprised it didn't work. Maybe it was just damaged, who knows. Anyway, sorry for the trouble and feel free to delete this topic. Although, the Apple help page for troubleshooting connectivity issues should mention using a different USB cable.

Ipod and Itunes not working..Locking up, No song list etc.

I am having a weird problem with my 5G 30gb Ipod video. I pressed the eject button after I was finished syncing a movie with the ipod, after about 5 mins the Ipod was still saying "do not disconnect", I really needed to go, so I unplugged it. later I noticed that there were no songs, videos playlists on it. when I checked the status of the disk, it stated that there was 20 gb used (which is what it was when the songs were on it, so the data is on the ipod). Now when I hook it up with Itunes, I get nothing! ITunes locks up. I have to stop the process etc.
Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix it?

ha! nevermind. I followed another threads advice and downloaded the quicktime standalone. Works fine for now at least. Regardless, would it still be a good idea to reformat? Thanks...

I need urgent help with i tunes and my i phone 3 GS

I have just brought my own lap top and have installed i tunes.
because all the music on my i phone was all done on a friends lap top and
itunes i want to put it on my itunes from my i phone..
is this possible to do?? if so how do i put it from my i phone onto my itunes
without deleting all my music and applications??
Thanks heaps

First, authorize your new computer in itunes: Store>Authorize this computer.
Next, make sure that auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected is "NOT CHECKED" in itunes>preferences.
Next, connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC!
Go up to file "Transfer purchases made on this ipod to this computer"
All of your purchased music & apps will then be transferred, music you ripped on your own won't, you'll have to restore that from a backup.
As for your contacts, before you sync make sure you have at least one contact in whatever program your computer uses for that purpose, outlook/address book.
At the prompt for merge or replace, select merge contacts.
