Can't use my Ipod touch.. going crazy!! Please help!

Hey,
I was given an Ipod touch for Christmas but I cannot get it to work. (it is second hand but all date was removed.)
On the Ipod touch screen is a picture of the USB cable and the Itunes symble.
I have conected the ipod to the comuter via the USB cable but Itunes always says:
"This Ipod cannot be used as the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install itunes again."
I have have done this several times now and the message keeps popping up. I cannot find any help for this on the apple website.
It is driving me quite mad!!
*Any help would be very gratefully recieved!! Thanks.*

For some reason the Apple Mobile Device Manager isn't working or isn't recognized.
First go into Add/Remove and make sure it was installed, security software can just whack the oddest stuff.
Then read through this : file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Pamela/My%20Documents/iPod%20touch%20not%2 0recognized%20by%20iTunes.htm
and apply the section on restarting mobile services.

  • HT1206 Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts and download from both accounts?

    Can I use one iPod Touch with 2 accounts? Can I download onto the one iPod from each account?

    I havent seen anything confirming this but I suspect not. that would require you keep logging in and out of the two accounts since you can only sign in to one at once. In iTunes on your computer if you log into another iTunes account you can't log into another one for 90 days. As I say I've seen nothing confirming this on a mobile device, but I suspect it will be the same.

    Can I use my ipod touch as a phone for fre?

    With wifi available you can use an app like Skype for voice and video (4G only). There are also texting app like Text+.. There is also the native FaceTime and Messahes for iPods that use iOS 5.  You need a wifi connection for all.

    The quality is questionable, and text when viewed at a short distance does become un-readable, although, viewed from a distance, the touch outputs the PERFECT browsing experience in rich colour, and text with anti-alias.
    Also, it is to e noted that the old composite and component cables are still being sold on the online Apple store, alongside the new and improved one which support the ipod Touch. The old cable sets DO NOT support the iPod Touch even though the site may say they do. I reported this to Apple Onine and they changed the old cable set compatibility pictures to not feature the ipod touch anymore.
    On the subject of accessories for the toouch, you may also be inclined to know that I have confirmation from Apple that the current 'camera conector/adapter' they are selling on the Apple Online Store, DOES support transfer of photos from your camera to the iPod Touch. And for £20, its a spiffy gadget to have in your pocket.
    Thats All. Hope this helps your decision to invest.

  • Can i use my ipod touch with airport express?

    I will be staying in a hotel that only offers hard wire internet connection.  Can I use my ipod touch with airport express to have have WiFi?  I won't have my computer with me.
    Thanks!

    Yes, you can. However, you will not be able to administer the AirPort from the iPod Touch. Thus you would need to pre-configure the AirPort Express to work at the particular hotel that you will be staying at. Note: Most hotels now offer Wi-Fi in the rooms and the Express may not be necessary.

  • Can I use my ipod touch as a airplay receiver to hook up to my stereo and play my itunes music from my computer?

    I just was wondering, Can I use my ipod touch as a airplay receiver to hook up to my stereo and play my itunes music from my computer?

    I believe there's got to be a way you can use the ipod touch as a airplay receiver to use on the stereo.
    The ipod touch has a port for plugging in earphones, that can also be used to plug a stereo into it.
    Now somebody just has to make an app for using on ipod touch or iphone to plug directly into the stereos input
    jack to play itunes music from your computer wirelessly, other than the ipod being plugged into the stereo with a wire.

  • Can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

    can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

    That depends on what you mean by "use".
    Sure you can use it without wifi. Many apps do not require a connection to the Internet. The iPod app (or Music and Videos apps, I can never remember which the iPod Touch uses nowadays), for example.
    However, iPod Touch devices do not include the "cell phone parts" - i.e. they cannot connect to cellular voice or data networks. Therefore, when an iPod Touch cannot connect to a wifi network, it has no way to transceive data with the Internet (short of Bluetooth, but that's a special case and I'm sure not what you're asking about).

  • Can I use my iPod touch while it's charging?

    Hi, I've tried to research this so I wouldn't have to ask, but have had no luck. So, my question is, can you use your iPod Touch while it is plugged into the charger? Would that do any damage to the iPod? Thanks, Diane

    Axel, I meant to also mark your response as Solved, but I checked Helpful by mistake. Hope that didn't take any "points" away from you. Diane

  • How can I use my iPod Touch as a remote for iTunes, while connected via USB?

    I was wondering if I could use my iPod touch as a remote/iTunes extension while it is connected to my computer via usb.
    It would be highly practical to control my music from there, since it is charging right by my side while I'm at my computer.
    Remote is not really an option, my computer doesn't have bluetooth or any connectivity. Something over wifi would work, but there's a usb connection right there that's begging to be used.
    Thanks

    You can't do it via USB.  Go to the App store and download/install the Apple Remote app.  It can control iTunes on your computer via wifi.

    I know that only first & 2 Generation is. But if I want to buy cool speakers, which should I buy then?
    Thanks for help
    (and sorry for my english, I'm swiss xD)

    You cannot.
    You would have to buy a new one.
    Apple will gie you a 10% discount on a new ipod if you bring in an old one for recycling.
