Can't connect to iTunes from my iPod Touch or from my Computer!!

Since yesterday, I have been having trouble connecting to the iTunes store from my iPod and computer. I can search for apps and whatever on both devices, but when it comes time to download them, on the iPod it just says "Waiting.." for a while, then it says "cannot connect to the iTunes store"
If I try to download an app from iTunes on the computer(Windows Vista, HP), it'll go to the iTunes store, I can search for things all fine and dandy and when I get an app I want to download and click it and type in my password to download it, it'll say, "Accessing iTunes store..." then it says "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The internet connection has timed out"
My internet connection is perfectly fine, working just great. I've tried everything it suggests on the Apple site, from changing the hosts abd firewall settings. NOTHING IS WORKING!
I'd really appreciate some help. This is very frustrating. Holidays are supposed to be happy times, right? :'(
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
If you have a 2G iPod those can only go to 4.2.1

  • Can't connect to itunes with my iPod (touch).

    My IPod is disabled (I haven't used it in quite awhile, don't know why it's disabled) and is asking me to connect to itunes. When I try to, I get an error on itunes saying "iTunes could not connect to the iPod "Nathan's IPod" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
    ...Yet I can't because I'm being to to connect to itunes for my ipod to be unlocked.
    Any solutions to this odd paradox? Thanks!

  • I can't connect to itunes from my ipad. Please help!!!

    I can't connect to itunes from ipad! Please help.

    See if any if these suggestions get you connected again.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again. You may have to experiment with the date a little bit... A year ahead, a few months ahead ....
    Or ....Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or ....If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

  • How can I transfer purchased itunes from my computer to my iPod without losing/erasing the current songs on my iPod?

    How can I transfer purchased iTunes from my computer to my iPod without losing all the songs I currently have on my iPod?  I've already burned the purchased songs onto DVDs, but they still aren't recognized as authorized songs that I can copy onto my iPod.  One other note:  The songs I purchased were done so with iTune versions much earlier than 10.0, does that matter?  I couldn't tell you what version though.   

    Not sure what you are saying.
    What is stopping you from adding the songs?
    Are you getting an error message?
    What does it say?

  • "Connect to iTunes" icon on iPod Touch 2G???

    On Wednesday I upgraded to OS 3.0 on my 16 GB iPod Touch 2G. Everything was working fine until this afternoon when I turned on my iPod to read an e-book that I had been reading earlier and there was a black screen with an icon of a USB plug and an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon. I tried shutting down completely. It didn't help. I tried charging it with a wall plug. (I was at work and couldn't get to iTunes.) It didn't help.
    When I got home I connected it to my MacBook and ITunes, it synced and all seems to be well now, but what the heck happened? Is this a sign I have a problem lurking in the background? (And, no, it's not a jailbroken iPod and never has been.) I bought it new, I'm the only user, and it's worked flawlessly until this.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Judie

    Have you had this happen before? I haven't. I tried googling "Connect to iTunes icon for iPod Touch" and there were a couple of posts but I sensed that those folks had it happen on a jailbroken iPod.
    Did you upgrade to the new iPhone OS 3.0?
    I'm hoping someone that knows what caused this will reply so that maybe we can prevent it from happening again. It sure was a helpless feeling when I couldn't get to iTunes while at work. Now I feel like I can't depend on the iPod to always work properly.

    I did both of the above and did a restore from backup but it didn't help.
    3) reset networking settings and maybe unplug and replug in your router
    I don't think it's a network problem for several reasons. First, I have the exact problem at home and at three WiFi hot spots (McDonald's, the Apple Store, and a shopping mall's network). Second, all other apps that access the Internet are working fine. Third, it's only parts of the App Store and iTunes that don't work. For example, the Update button in the App Store still works but the Featured button still doesn't.
    I then went to the Apple Store today and the tech had the exact same problems even after wiping it clean and using their account. They ended up replacing my iPod even though the problem continued on the new one, which hadn't been synced with anything.

    YAY! Just checked iTunes via my ipod touch and i've got SOME features back (new releases, genres etc). Still no luck browsing the App Store but i'm guessing this means the problem lays with the stores and not with the ipod itself?
    Wish i'd known that before I deleted and reset everything
    Yea, I just checked iTunes and some features are working again. Like you, I now I assume the problems are on their end.

  • Connecting my digital camera to iPod Touch w/o a computer?

    Hi,
    Is there any device that I can use to connect my digital camera to iPod Touch for file transfer without linking up with the computer? I am very interested in finding one for my dad as he wants to use the iPod Touch as a secondary storage and photo viewer when he's taking photos away from home or access to computer.
    Also, is there any photo viewer app for iPod that can display RAW files?
    Please help and thank you very much!

    It would be a great feature to be able to view (and back up) photos on the 'big screen' of an iPod Touch when on holiday for instance.
    For me a reason to (for now not) buy one.
    There's seems to be a possibility to get wifi on your camera. (special card) ??
    Then you could use an app called Regal Media to transfer.
    But anyway it would be much better to be able to just connect the camera to the iPod Touch with usb.
    I hope this will be possible soon.

  • ITunes can't connect to iTunes from PC Windows 7

    I haven't been active on iTunes for at least a year.  In the mean time it has continued to update.  I purchased a new iPod shuffle this past week. Finally opened iTunes to get my new Shuffle registered and load some music.  Tried to register and got what seems like no connection to Apple.  Low and behold iTunes can not connect to the iTunes store, nor anything else from Apple. iTunes program appears to be working fine other than no connection to Apple.com, and I have performed a sync to my new Shuffle w/o problems.  I simply get the "accessing iTunes store..." displaying forever.
    I have Windows 7, 64bit operating system. Trend Micro Intert Security/antiviral software.  I have tried disabling both my Windows firewall and my Trend Micro; however, iTunes still can make no connection.  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • My ipod touch syncs no problem, I cannot figure out how to get my playlists or songs to stay on my ipod. I can get them onto itunes from my computer. I know how through homeshare but then they disappear as soon as I turn off the comp obviously. Thanks:)

    Thanks in advance for your patience and time with a newbie:)  I can sync my ipod touch to itunes no problem, I figured out how to get my music from my computer onto an itunes playlist, my problem is how to get it to stay on my ipod. I made the mistake of using home sharing which of course turned out to be useless as soon as I turned my computer off, within minutes my ipod library disappeared. I feel like I am missing something simple, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again

    I figured it out, thanks anyways
