Can't Install iTunes for iPod Classic over iTunes for iPod Touch - iPod Classic not regconized

I have an iPod Classic (80GB) in my car and wanted to buy an additional iPod for use in the house. The salesman assured me that the iPod Nano Touchscreen would be backward compatible with the hardware I have, but it wasn't, so the store manager kindly agreed to me swapping the unit for a brand new iPod Classic 160 GB (at the extra cost, of course).
I can remember that when I connected the iPod Touch the first time, it asked me whether I should install something, which I did. All my music was subsequently transferred to the iPod Touch. It was only when I tried it then that I discovered that it is not 100% backward compatible with my hardware.
Now that I have purchased the new 160 GB Classic, iTunes simply won't synchronize. I downloaded the latest iTunes and installed it - no change. I saw that you could make it work by checking 'Enable Disk Use' from the Summary tab. However, my iTunes does not have a 'Summary' tab, and when I checked further on Google, I found a statement on Apple Support that 'disk usage' is not supported on the iPod Touch.
I then ran 'Device sync tests' under 'Diagnostics' from the Help tab - it came up with the reply 'No iPod touch, iPhone or iPad found'. In other words, iTunes still thinks that the connected device is an iPod Touch and not an iPod Classic, despite me having installed iTunes several times.
Is there a version of iTunes that I can dowload that would recognize the iPod Classic? How can I resolve this problem? I want the same music on both of my iPods.

Please igonore - stupidity on my side - problem was resolved with a call to the ever-so-friendly Apple Technical Support helpline!

    After restoring my new iPhone5 I can't install my apps onto it from iTunes.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Also, for not enough space, remove from your iTunes library media that is on the iPod that yo do not need so it can't be restored to the iPod

    Purchased Mountain Lion, but can't install on Mavericks OS...Paid for but Can't install

    You can't install an older OS over a newer one. So you'll get a message saying you can't install ML until you erase the drive.
    I'm presuming you already have the full Mountain Lion installer on your drive.
    Download DiskMaker X. Use it, the ML installer, and an 8 GB flash drive to create your own bootable ML installer. Boot to the flash drive when it's ready. From there, you'll get the same minimal work screen as when you boot into Recovery Mode. Use Disk Utility to erase the drive, then install Mountain Lion. Restore your personal data.

  • Can I install and run TWO versions of iTunes in Win7?

    Please, definitive answers only (as far as possible), and read the question properly before replying - it save creating a useless and confusing thread!!!
    My problem: New iTunes is awful, I like using 'CoverFlow) for navigation. Omitting it from the newer version is a mistake.
    How to resolve?: Can I, in a newly created (seperate Win7 folder from 'Program Files'), install an ADDITIONAL (and older) version, so that I don't have to uninstall the existing newer one?
    My music resource is on an external hard-drive, so, theoretically, is available to more than one installation of iTunes variants?
    I am NOT going to uninstall the new one I already have, as this is a 'normal' install which I shall upgrade accordingly.
    Can I install another, to work temporarily until iTunes put back into their relseases 'CoverFlow', by simply installing it in a different location/folder, and then pointing both to the music resource.
    Anyone tried this already, maybe even for the same reason as me, and got a definitive outcome if it works or not, without causing any conflicts?

    Thanks. Yes, I am familiar with dual-booting systems. I often do this at work. But, again, not really answering my question:
    Can I install 2 (different) versions of iTunes, on Win7 (just the one OS, or I would have said otherwise), if I install them into different folders.
    I ask as I've never tried it, and don't particularly know all about iTunes.
    To be honest, I'll just give up with this as a forum, as this is the 2nd time I've made a plain question as straight foward as a possibly can, to get an answer to a different one.
    I give up, if people just can't read properly, then answer the question , preferring instead to give me an opinion.
    With deep appreciation of you using that forum, I will bow down deeply concerned with my incompliance with your preferences. I am very sorry that instead of answering said question I provided you with solution. I solemnly swear that I will never do it again. I thank you for giving me a credit nevertheless for helpful answer.

  • Can I install Mountain Lion 64-bit over top of 32-bit version installed by mistake.  M/c is 24-inch mid 2007 iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (64-bit?)

    Can I install Mountain Lion 64-bit over top of 32-bit version installed by mistake.  Machine is 24-inch mid 2007 iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (64-bit?)

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Mountain Lion is a full 64-bit operating system. Why do you think Mountain Lion is 32-bit in your computer?
    To check that you are definitely using a 64-bit operating system, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
    uname -a
    Then, tell us what you see at the end after RELEASE. If you see i386, you are running a 32-bit operating system. If you see x86_64, you are using a 64-bit operating system. Also, the processor of your Mac is 64-bit

    Another option if you have access to a second Mac with a drive is to connect the two together with the iMac in Target Disk Mode,  Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, and installing from the Mac with the optical drive.

  • Can't install due to later version of iTunes already installed

    When I attempt to install the Airport software, I receive an error message that says the installation will not continue because a later version of iTunes is already installed.
    I am running Windows Vista and iTunes 7.2.
    Can anyone help me?

    I am hoping that by posting here this topic will become current again. My situation is exactly as described below; new computer, attempted to install airport express from install disc; get fatal error b/c I'm running later (7.2) version of itunes. Tried installing from English folder, which appeared to work, but no Airport Express Assistant shows up for configuration purposes. Any suggestions?

  • How can I install Adobe Reader 10.1.0 Plugin for IE8?

    All the forum responses I've seen show going to manage add-ons in IE and to enable the plugin.  I do not have an Adobe Reader 10.1.0 plugin under any add-ons to enable.  I've even unistalled/reinstalled this Adobe Reader version with no success.  Due to other application dependencies I cannot upgrade to Reader 11, though I know the Plugin does appear when I install Reader 11.  How do I get the matching plugin for 10.1.0?  Without it we are having issues with PDFs not opening in the browser.  Thanks.

    Hi, thanks for the help:
    i)Adobe Reader 10.1.0.  OS is Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64bit v1.0.  We utilize IE8 32bit browser.
    ii)Due to other applications we currently cannot upgrade company wide yet, so 10.1 is not yet an option.  I did test locally and 10.1 did solve the issue, but that won't work for us at this time.  I need to find a way to add the plugin for 10.1.0 back to IE for employees.  It used to exist but something changed recently as PDFs stopped launching within IE window.  On all the support sites I see, people reference enabling the Reader 10.1 plugin within IE, so it must exist, I just need to understand how we can re-install it.

    If it is possible, what I have to do to get it done? And the price?

    MacBookPro1,1 can only run Mac OS X 10.6.8, as it has got a 32-bit processor.
    If you order replacement DVDs, Apple will send you DVDs with the original Mac OS X version that came with your Mac, in this case, Mac OS X 10.4.5.
    If you decide to get replacement DVDs, Apple will only charge you for the delivery

    How can i install my app?

    You have to follow a process outlined on the Nextel Developer's Web site. Go type in WebJAL and you find the process there. When the WebJAL application goes to make a network connection, Nextel (Sprint) looks up the phone's ID in one of their back-end systems. Your phone needs to be registered with them - or else you get the message you saw.
    The process of getting your device registered with them can take 3-10 business days.

  • Once CC Apps Downloaded can the install file be copied to each mac for reinstall - have 5 to do?

    Exactly what heading suggests.
    Once I have downloaded my apps from Creative Cloud for 1 mac, can the "installer" file/s be copied to other macs and simply be run from there for installing, rather than having to Download again for each Mac - very time consuming and puts a huge load on our Internet usage.
    Up for about a 4.5GB download x 5 macs - not good
    Gee, wish I had a disk for this . . .

    Does this apply for a TEAM  license (which I have) or only the ENTERPRISE license.
    Do you have a link for that page?

  • Can I install PS CC on an external HDD for portability? [was: Retire01]

    Can I instal PS CC on an external HDD so that I can take it from place to place??

    When you activate Photoshop (most likely CC too) Adobe's activation servers write hidden credentials onto you system. Most likely these are on you system boot drive.  Also when programs are install onto a system many settings for the Program are recorded into the Operating System Configuration.   So If you install CC onto an external drive though the programs install tree will be on the external drive many system configuration and authorizing files will not be on that drive.
