  • Can't connect my iPod Touch! :(

    I can't connect my iPod touch to my iTunes. I updated to a newer version (10.0), but everytime I try to hook up my iPod it tells me I need version 8.0 or later. How do I get an older version? Or update my iPOd?

    been here for 2 and a half hours now trying all the crap that emanates from this support site and nothing works. I have re-installed itunes 3 times including 2 complete clean outs as per this sites directions. THe ipod touch with 4.0 software will not sync with itunes 10. THe windows system recognises the ipod but itunes doesnt. I get a message when I connect the ipod that it needs software re-installing which i have tried to no avail. The system worked fine till the last update of the itunes software. THere is no USB link showing on the computer to an ipod in the services stuff deep within windows and right now I would happily take this stuff and bin it were it not for my daughter wishing to have just one thing from apple that for once worked.

  • Can I connect n iPod Touch to powered speakers?

    I have an old pair of computer powered speakers. Can I connect an iPod Touch or Shuffle directly to the powered speakers? I would like to use the speakers in a garage with the iPod.

    The speakers just have the 3.5mm plug.
    If this is to plug into the back of a computer to get sound, then yes, just plug it into your touch headphone jack.

  • I cannot connect my iPod touch to iTunes

    There are several factors preventing me from connecting my sister's iPod Touch to iTunes on my computer (the same one I used to set up her iPod):
    1.  The sleep/wake button is jammed, or just doesn't work. The button ITSELF feels fine.  It pushes down with a "click" feel, like all of the other devices I use, but nothing happens. It fails to turn off or turn on the iPod; it's a dud.  I think this is the main issue.  She's had a problem turning it off, lately.  Since this is an ipod 3, I highly doubt the warranty is still active, and isn't worth getting Apple involved.
    2.  She was sleepy when she set her passcode and punched in the wrong numbers (which I don't understand, since it asks you to re-enter the password before it is accepted).  Unfortunately, as a theft deterrent, each time a password is incorrectly submitted, the wait time to re-enter becomes longer and longer until the device is disabled.  Now it shows the message, "IPOD IS DISABLED connect to iTunes".
    3.  Connecting to itunes brings up a message in iTunes:  "ITunes could not connect to iPod "iPod Touch" because it is locked with a passcode.  You must enter your passcode on the iPod Touch before it can be used with iTunes."
    I Googled the "iTunes could not connect..." message, which gave instructions to restart the iPod with the sleepwake/homebutton trick, but that can't be successfully accomplished with a broken sleepwake button.
    I Googled "broken sleep/wake button", but that gave instructions to restore the iPod in iTunes, but it won't connect in iTunes without the passcode correctly entered in the iPod.
    I Googled "Wrong password", but that gave instructions to restore the iPod in iTunes.  [sigh!]
    I asked my sister if she had a wobbly table or chair with one leg shorter than the rest, and she said she did.  I told her to place the iPod under the short leg. She asked, "How is that going to fix my iPod?"  I replied, "It isn't.  But it will fix your table."  Took her a few seconds to realize that it was all her iPod was good for.
    I don't want to resort to the wobbly table fix just yet.  I thought if there was going to be a way to fix this without reaching out to the Apple store (which would probably only be able to sell her a new iPod), this would be the place to find the answer...a place where most genius iDevice users would hang out to help other users.
    Any suggestions?

    FIXED IT!!!!!
    Ok, here's one of the problems I was having (among the others listed above):  I kept getting the message that I had to enter my passcode in the iPod.  I searched for solutions and came across one that said I had to close down iTunes first, before plugging in the iPod, so I did that.
    Lo and Behold, the USB symbol appeared on the iPod when I plugged it in without opening iTunes.
    I opened iTunes, and Lo and Behold again, the iTunes showed the ipod on the side and the message popped up that said it was in restore mode.  I selected "Restore and download new updates".
    I was good to go, right?
    WRONG!!!
    Every few minutes into the download, I would STILL get a message saying that I had to enter iPod's passcode, and the iPod would return to the dreaded "disabled" screen!  I tried it several times, with no success.
    THEN I noticed that even though the iPod was unplugged from iTunes, the update continued to download.
    SO...
    I waited until the update had seconds left to be completely downloaded.  Then I reduced (not minimized) iTune's window and clicked on the desktop background.  I plugged in the iPod, which again showed the USB symbal.  I maximized the iTunes window, and the message appeared as usual saying the iPod was in restore mode.  I selected the "restore and download" button, but THIS time, it didn't have enough time to reject the iPod.  Within seconds, the download was complete, and the restoration continued as normal (for other iPods, anyway).  I held my breath the whole way, but it's GOOD AS NEW!  By "Good as new", I mean her ipod has no apps or music.  She'll have to reinstall all that, but they're paid for.  Not sure about the music, which was her main concern, but even if she had to buy all that all over again, it's still much cheaper than buying a new iPod.
    Guess she'll have to find something else to level her table.
    :::::EDIT::::
    I'm sorry, planb77, I didn't see your last post.  I forgot to reload.  But thank you for your help. 
    By the way, the sleep/wake button still doesn't work right, but she can select to have the ipod shut down after X amount of minutes.  The only thing she'll have a problem with is turning the iPod off all the way (which she never does, anyway...who does?), and take screen shots.

  • I can't connect my iPod classic to iTunes, it just doesn't react when I put the USB into the PC

    hey, I have an iPod classic and it can't connect to iTunes.
    I put the USB into my computer trying to add music, but it doesn't seems to react.
    It DOESN'T say that it can't recognize the Ipod..
    - Itunes just simpely doesn't react when I put the USB-cabel into my computer.
    - when i go to the task manager the "apple device mobile" and "ipod service" is acitve in the processes
    - I've tried to restart my computer (windows XP)
    - update iTunes
    - reinstall iTunes
    - restart my apple devices mobile manager
    what I think is the problem (which I can't solve) is that iTunes doen't even react to the USB
    plz hlp me!
    - ps it really should be able to add music to my iPod without getting help from a expert.

    Hello qz0rz213,
    It would seem that iTunes has encountered or developed an issue in the process of trying to sync photos to your device. The best place to start would be removing the iPod Photo Cache (thus allowing for a new version to be created).
    Note: Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.
    iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
    If the issue is not resolved by removing the iPod Photo Cache, the following article goes into further steps that can both help you determine the source of this trouble and eliminate it.
    Symptoms
    In certain situations, iTunes may display an alert or may be unable to sync photos to an iPod or iOS device. Examples include:
    After updating iOS, iTunes displays an alert that there is not enough room to sync photos
    This error appears: "The iPhone/iPod touch '[device name]' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
    This article outlines steps to resolve these issues.

  • How can you connect your iPod touch to your Vista computer without using Apple Software

    How do you connect an iPod touch to your Vista computer without using any Apple products

    There is no other legit way to sync your iPod than using iTunes. There is 3rd party software to transfer content from the iPod to your computer, but not from the computer to your iPod.
    Disk mode is not supported.

  • Can't connect my ipod touch to wifi tried everything!

    I am trying to connect my ipod touch to my home network.
    I have typed in the ssid and the password correct and it connects but i havent got any internet! Please help.

    You should not have to type anything in (except maybe the first time you connect) to connect to WiFi.
    How do you have your home network set up? Suggestions for settings follow:
    SSID - On
    DHCP - On
    MAC address filtering - OFF
    Encryption - 128 bit WEP or, preferably, WPA or WPA2
    If your network resembles those settings above, then do the following on the touch:
    Go to the network connection, tap the blue >, and tap Forget Network
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and tap that.
    Once your iPod restarts, go to Settings > WiFi and log into your network again. You can select Other Network and type in the name if the touch doesn't discover the network on its own. If you are using encryption, you will be prompted with a question about the type being used. Tell your touch the correct one. Enter your password or WEP hex key. Note: on WEP networks, you must enter the key and not the password. You must have 128 bit encryption enabled on your router.
    When you are connected, you should see a check mark next to your network name, a lock symbol if you are logged into an encrypted network, and a blue >. Tap the blue > and you should see your touch IP address, subnet mask, Router IP, and DNS IPs. At that point you should be good to go.

  • Can't connect my IPOD touch to WRT300n

    I just got a IPOD touch and I can not get it to connect to my WRT300n router. I have it set up for WEP 128bit security. My IPOD keeps finding my network but then asks for a password. I enter the password and it does not work. I am assuming this is because of my WEP security. Everything else in my house that is wireless (laptop, 2desktops, 6 gaming systems) all required me to enter in the WEP key to be able to connect them to the router. The IPOD does not ask for this key so I don't know what to do. I don't feel I really need the security setting. If I can not connect the IPOD with the WEP, how do I change my security setting from WEP to none? Any help with this would be appriciated. As I see it right now i just bought a $200 IPOD and if I can not even connect to my own home network for internet it is just a expesive peice of junk.

    Login to the Linksys Setup Page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar..Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the Wireless tab...Here Wireless Network mode should be mixed. And Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz... Click on "Save Settings"...
    Click on Advanced Wireless SettingsChange the Beacon Interval to 75, Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304, Click on "Save Settings"...
    Also try to lower down the security to WEP 64-bit under wireless security.
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • HT1689 how can i undisable my ipod touch when itunes does not want to connect?

    My brother's ipod touch 4th generation was cracked on the screen and was not able to see anything after a while. We finally fixed it and now it says "IPOD DISABLED CONNECT TO ITUNES". We tried connecting it and itunes does not want to connect because it says that the ipod has a passcode and until we unlock it, it will do it. So we our stuck and on top of that, the ipod's power button does not work, so we waited to uncharge the ipod so we can try to connect it again and it still won't do it. We do not know what to do, and we cannot afford to buy a new one. Is there a solutiong for this? Thank You.

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

  • If I connect my iPod Touch to iTunes on my MacBook Pro will it upgrade to iOS 5 automatically or can I refuse the upgrade and sync to iTunes anyway?

    I had my iPod synced with iTunes on my iBook (OS 10.4.11) and then the iBook crashed and I had to replace it with a MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8).  I want to transfer all of the stuff on my iPod to my iPhone 4S through the MacBook Pro.  But, I do not want to upgrade the iPod iOS (4.1) because my wife will use it with her iMac (OS 10.4.11).  She has no interest in upgrding the iMac OS to support iOS 5.  Can I sync the iPod with iTunes on the MacBooK Pro without upgrading the iOS from 4.1 to 5.?  This will let me go back to the iMac and sync the iPod with it.  I only need to do this once to offload everything on the iPod to the MacBook Pro and then to the iPhone.  I'm very reluctant to try this for fear of ending up with an iPod that won't sync with the iMac.  Thanks for any help you can offer.
    Ross 

    It will never automatically update.  You always will ahev to tell it to update.  it will never update unless you tell it to.
    The pics and music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  The ipod is not a backup device.
    Cop everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
