Could be any number of reasons.  One of them just may be your refusal to update iTunes.  Just because others are having issues does not mean you'll have them!

  • Brand new iPod touch will not connect to home wifi

    Monday I got a brand new iPod 4 to replace my previous one, as the home button had failed unexpectedly. The new iPod is working fine, running the latest iOS but when I try to connect our secure home wifi, it won't accept the password. We have reset the password and I've reset network settings. I'm so frustrated, because everything else connects to the wifi BUT my iPod will not take our correct password. What can I do? Should I take it back to Apple? I'm already annoyed by having to get a new iPod. The last one connected just fine but now this one won't.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. done

    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Brand new iPod Shuffle is not recognized by iTunes and Win XP Laptop

    I have iPod nano and iTunes 7. Just got a brand new iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen). Neither iTunes nor my laptom recognize the iPod Shuffle - it is not even getting charged. I tried all the tips from the offical support, but nothing works.
    Should I just throw it away and get a new one or is there a way to make it work?

    Why would you throw it away if it is in warranty? Why not exchange it?
    What kind of laptop is it?

  • Brand new iPod Classic will not sync with iTunes.  All my older devices are fine, but as soon as this is connected, iTunes stops responding when it says it's "determining tracks to sync."

    Also, the iMac I'm connecting it to is brand new as well - replacing a slightly older one.  My complete library got imported during setup and, like I mentioned, my older iPod classic synced fine, as did our iPhones.  Thoughts??

    Is the Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?  If so disable this feature and then try resyncing the device.

  • Brand new Ipod Touch will not connect to server

    Just bought my daughter an ipod touch. Pugged it up uploaded Ios 7 everything looks great except it wont let me download anything and wont let me connect to itunes. Help!! She would really love to play on it, but can't since low tech mom can't figure it out.

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
    Then try iTunes.
    If that didn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • Brand new iPod touch won't connect with iTunes

    Hi,
    I have just been given an iPod Touch (32 gb) and am trying to get it to work.
    I started by down loading a new copy of iTunes (there was an old version on my computer) and installing it. I plugged in the iPod and for a few seconds it displayed the apple logo. Then a symbol showing a usb cable with an arrow pointing to a iTunes logo appeared. The computer detects the iPod, but iTunes doesn't. I have not been able to progress past this screen. Initally, I thought that it might not have charged, so I left it plugged in for a few hours. I contacted Apple, and on their instructions, I've tried turning it off and doing a restore. I've also removed iTunes and then reinstalled it. I've tested my setup on an old iPod (iTunes detects it fine) and another iPod Touch (iTunes doesn't detect it). When the iPod Touch is connected to a Mac, it works fine.
    My computer uses Windows XP and is about six years old.
    Does anybody have an idea for something else I can try? Thank you in advance.

    Try removing your Security Software(nortons,Zone alarm,Mcaffe etc)or at least turning it off and reboot, then delete the driver installed for your i-pod and reinstall the driver, then reinstall your Security System.Hope that helps it worked for me!!!!

  • Ipod shuffle will not connect to itunes on win7

    Ipod touch will not connect to Itunes on WIN7. Used to work on Vista but has never worked on new WIN7 computer. Tried several cables and tried an Ipod shuffle. No joy. Current version of Itunes, restarted apple services and checked USB driver installed and functioning. When first plugged in, windows wants to know how to treat it (camera, file directory...)  and for a few moments shows it as a drive. Device also shows syncing for a few moments. Then Itunes starts, the device stops sync and windows no longer shows it as a drive. Itunes does not show the device but wants to transfer purchases from the device (transfer purchases from an ipod?). I tried the steps given in on-line help and the diagnostic. Must be missing something in the setup of Ituines. Any suggestions...

    Sorry sorry I am a not clear on apple product names. Actually do not care about the names. So I had to look this up so as not to offend anybody. I am talking an ipod nano gen4 AND and ipod nano gen7. Neither work. Can you direct me to somebody who might know how to fix this?
