Can't Access New iPod in iTunes

I just bought a new 30GB iPod and sync'd it with my iTunes. No problems. However, when I go to edit/ select any of the music on my iPod through iTunes it will not let me. It seems like my iPod is locked or not authorized. In iTunes, when I go to the Music folder under my iPod at the bottom of the screen where it gives you the free space left there is a little lock icon. I already set up the secure lock features on my iPod and turned it off.

Follow the instructions in this article to remove the lock.

  • I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. Tried to follow some suggestions found here but nothing is working. Any new suggestions?

    I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. I've followed several threads I've read here but nothing is working.

    For such situation, I'd suggest the following:
    1. Remove current installed office with the fix-it tool in
    KB2739501, and follow the "Remove Office manually" section to make sure there are no remaining files
    2. Either download a trial version of Office 2013 from
    http://office.microsoft.com/, or from

    3. Reboot your computer in clean boot mode, and run setup again

    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:

  • Can't register new ipod classic in itunes

    Hi, i am brandnew to ipod&itunes and my question is probably really simple but i am royally stuck...when i click on "device" to register my new ipod to itunes the window that opens is not big enough to actually see (or click) the "register now" button that must be there somewhere. There is no bar to slide and the little arrows do not make the window bigger. Also, i can not collapse the libary on the left side to make the window bigger...don't know what to do...any idea anybody??

  • "Use iTunes to restore". How can I access the iPod w/o losing present data?

    I have a request from my grandaughter to download a number of songs to her iPod. I charged the battery fully. When I tried to start it , it read "Use iTunes to restore". How can I access her iPod w/o losing any of her present songs? Please please help.

    You can't. Restoring will always erase the device. Unless you have a backup in iTunes or iCloud everything is removed. Purchased items can be re-downloaded as long as the original Apple ID used to purchase them is also used when reconfiguing the device after it is restored.

  • How i can export songs from ipod ti itunes?

    how i can export songs from ipod ti itunes?
    please i need some informations

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation, also it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • Multiple issues with new IPod Nano+ ITunes 7

    I am a formerly happy and loyal Apple user, but have recently become disenchanted due to what I see as bad faith actions.
    I bought a new Ipod nano for my wife and brought it home to set up. When I plugged it in, it told me that I needed ITunes 7. Fair enough, I go up to download ITunes 7, only to be told that it won't work with OS 10.2.8 and that I need 10.3.9. There is nothing on the IPod packaging that indicates that I can only use ITunes 7. So as far as I can tell, Apple wants me to pay another $129 to buy a new OS, so that I can use my new ipod. It doesn't give me the option to use it with my existing setup. Is there a workaround so that I can use my ipod with my existing OS?
    I started transferring my music collection to a PC to see if I could make it work there, since ITunes 7 works with Windows XP, which I have. This creates a new problem, since I can't seem to get the DRM protected music I bought on my Mac through ITunes to work on the PC. Can't get it to load onto the IPod, which is my whole intent in transferring it. My solution now is to not buy anything more from Itunes, since it will be a pain to transfer it when I change computers. I am not going to burn CDs for 400 songs, just to load them onto another computer. It seems like there are solutions on the web that can help you strip the DRM protection from songs, so I plan on using those to be able to listen to the music that I paid for.
    Sor far, I have spent multiple hours trying to make things work. I have no interest in anything other than being able to listen to my music on our Ipods. While I understand the necessity to protect copyrights and limit illicit sharing, Apple has gotten a little too manipulative of a loyal customer base. Apple can count me in the formerly happy, now alienated group.

  • I did the update today and now itunes can't see my ipod, uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things, nothing has worked

    I did the update today and now itunes can't see my ipod, uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things, nothing has worked.
    It worked just fine last weekend. I have windows 8.1 and a brand new pc, new iPod also, the new Nano. now after the update today, iTunes says iPod has been detected but could not be indentified properly. I can see it in windows. I tried the reset on the iPod also. what else can I do?? HELP

    Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • If I copy a CD (either music or audio) on my Windows based Pc can I access the copy using itunes?

    If i copy a Cd (either music or audio) on my Windows based PC can I access the copy using itunes.  I have a ipod Nano, 7th generation.

    You should use iTunes to "rip" (encode) the songs directly into your iTunes library from the CDs.  This article provides a good description of how that is done using iTunes.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1156861/howto_rip_cds.html
    If you use some other program to encode the content on those CDs, you can add any audio files that are in a format that iTunes can play (such as MP3 and AAC) to your iTunes library.  "Windows Media" files are not playable by iTunes, but the Windows version of iTunes can convert them while importing (as long as the files do not use DRM).

    Can I rename my ipod for itunes connection?  It is an older 30 gig unit.

    You just want to rename your device?  If so, simply double click its current name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and type in a new one.

  • I need to add my new ipod to itunes. it will only show the old dead ipod. i want to keep the music, but get rid of the info of the old dead ipod and add my new one and its info. please help.

    Hello,
    I need to add my new ipod to itunes.
    itunes will only show the old, dead ipod that my niece had given me secondhand.
    I just got a new one and want to put in it's serial number, etc. but keep the music.
    Please help, I've been going around in circles online for hours. I don't want to merely change the name of the old ipod, which is the only info I can find.
    Thanks.

    "In addition, I would like to get all of the music files that are already on my ipod on to my new computer"
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.
    Once the music from your iPod is in your new iTunes library, you can go about adding new music as you did previously.

  • Can no longer sync Ipod to Itunes after upgrading to Itunes 7

    I have the 3rd generation IPod and I thought it happened when I dropped it, but after thinking about it it did happen the same time I switched to itunes v7.
    I have to stop the auto-sync and have the ipod completely restored each time. So when I want to update my ipod I have make it an hour adventure.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
