Cannot use ipod in ITunes

I just bought a 30 gig ipod video from someone. It works fine and I love it but when I connect it to iTunes my iTunes freezes and laggs. Then when I disconnect the ipod a message appears asking me about sync purchased items and i click the button that says erase purchased items, then a button says transfer or dont transfer to library and i clicked dont transfer. Then i reconnect my ipod and click the dont transfer and it says the required folders are missing. Can anyone help me I really dont care for the items recently purchased I just want to clear the items and be able to add my own.

" You cannot use the application "iTunes" with this version of MAC OS X."

I am getting the response " You cannot use the application "iTunes" with this version of MAC OS X." How do i get Itunes on my Mac. I tried to download the newest version but it won't let me do that either.

What operating system version are you using on your Macbook? If you are still using Tiger 10.4 the new iTunes requires Leopard (10.5) or higher.

Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod. How can I get them back on ipod?? They are showing in music library on itunes still.

If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.

Using Ipod in Itunes 7

I used to be able to listen to my Ipod through iTunes but now I can't.
I can't figure out how to do it. Please help, work is boring me to tears and I need some tunes.

Yes. To do this, you need to connect your iPod, and check the box in iTunes to "Manually manage my music and videos" (you'll find it on the iPod's "Summary" tab in iTunes).
You can then open your iPod in iTunes and select tracks from it and play them through iTunes as you would for tracks in your iTunes library.
Note that the "Manual" setting travels with the iPod, so it will remain in manual mode on any computer you connect it to. If you want to return to auto-sync later (ie, because you're bringing it back to your "home" computer, then you will need to UNcheck this box before it will sync again).

Using ipod and itunes again

just recently i had to deleat every thing from my computer and restore it to how it was brand new, during this process of this my itunes was deleated and i had to re download it and now when i try to put music on my ipod it says i am only alowed to use one computer to get music from. What do i do?? thanks for any help

The message you are getting is that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc.
If your iTunes is empty or doesn't have all the songs that were originally on your iPod you just need to take care connecting back to your computer. Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been 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 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
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
CopyPod Windows Only
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
You will also have to reauthorise your computer to play your purchases: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

Cannot Update iPod in iTunes 7.01

i can't seem to update my ipod in itunes 7.01. right before the 'updating xxx's ipod' thing shows up, it ejects it. yes, i've also tried putting it in disk mode but it still doesn't work. the current software for my 5G is 1.1.1, trying to go to 1.2.

perhaps check on the possibility from the following document (i've seen it produce similar symptoms a few times):

Cannot sync ipod to itunes......error messages

I have itunes downloaded to my computer. When I try and connect the ipod I get an error message that reads "itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted, you may need to restore the ipod". When i try to restore the ipod I get a message that says "ipod cannot be restored". I have tried to remove itunes and reinstall the software twice with no luck. I have even tried on another computer. However, I plugged the ipod into a friends computer who already has itunes working, and the songs load directly onto the ipod. I have tried all of the troubleshooting steps to try and correct the issue, i'm not sure how to proceed. If anyone has any advice......please advise.

So it is not working on your computer but is on your friend's computer?
Try connecting via a different USB port.
Also, try putting your iPod into Disk Mode prior to connecting it to the computer...

Once you do this, try connecting it to your computer and restoring it.
Since you have reinstalled iTunes, I am assuming you are using the latest version of iTunes, 7.0.2, right?

Need to restore ipod, but cannot see ipod in Itunes:

Can I use Disk Utility on my Mac to restore my ipod. My ipod shows up on my harddrive but doesn't appear in Itunes. I cannot access any commands to set it back to factory defaults.
Maybe Disk Utility or a terminal command will work?
The disk is formated at a Fat32, but I don't have access to a PC anymore.

You can use Disk Utility to either repair the disk on the iPod or erase it and format it. Then restore it in iTunes.

Cannot eject iPod from iTunes Window

When I try to eject my iPod from the iTunes screen I get a "Windows - No Disk" pop up error saying that there is no disk in the drive, put a disk into the H drive. I also get an iTunes message alert that The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application. I can see the iPod name in Windows Explorer and I can safely eject using the XP Window's "Safely Remove Hardware" feature, but I want to fix this problem and free up whatever file that is being used by another application.

Are you using any third party applications to access/manage your iPod. I know that Red Chair Anapod causes this conflict with iTunes and I'm sure that other applications do to. Try uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling the latest version.

Cannot Register Ipod through itunes

My monitor doesn't go higher then 600x800 resolution
using itunes 7.5.0.20
When I go into my itunes and click on the ipod under devices I get a screen "welcome to your new ipod" telling me to 1. register your ipod and it shows a button at the botoom to register later. I am assuming the regiser now button is off to the right where I cannot see it and I cannot get my screen to move over because there is no scroll bar at the bottom of the screen.

I had the same problem. I wasn't able to get in through these methods. Using tab only got me past the first screen to the contract page, then it just highlighted the small print. Pressing enter just saved it multiple times to my hard drive. I went into my control panel and increased my screen resolution. Then I was able to see the whole page. I know that this wont help the first person, but maybe it'll help someone else. This is so annoying. Why don't they have a scrollbar here like every other page!

Suddenly cannot sync ipod on itune, suddenly cannot sync ipod on itune

Since today I cannot saw divice iPod nano generation 6th display on iTune... I used Macbook, iTune ver. 10.4.1 normally is no problem with this issue.

Since I don't have Windows XP or Windows Vista 64, I didn't try to answer your question, and there apparently weren't any other users here with this issue. Since we are all doing this voluntarily I didn't realize there was any obligation to answer your question.
And if you are using a 64-bit browser and you download iTunes it will install the 64-bit version.

Problem using ipod with itunes 5.0.1

Could anyone help me?? I'm having serious problems using my ipod mini with my "just downloaded" itunes 5.0.1.
it says that my comunication software with ipod is not correctly installed and that i have to reinstall itunes again. i did it the problem is always there. what can i do?? can someone help me??

Man, it seems that iTunes 5.whatever has gotten us all a little hot under the collar. I'm back up and running...this is what I did...I hope it helps some of you out.
1) created a new folder in MyMusic and copied everything from my iTunes library to the new folder. I then tested a few songs to make sure they still played (you never know)
2) I deleted iTunes using the control panel selection Add/Delete programs. I emptied the recycle gin and then did a search to see that iTunes was no longer there.
3) I went to filehippo.com to download iTunes 4.8 (my original disks are packed (Thank you to poster Allison for the filehippo.com suggestion).
4) I copied all my songs back into iTunes from where I had stored them in the new folder I created in MyMusic)
5) I connected the iPod Mini and opened iTunes and darn if it STILL didn't recognize the iPod
6) I did a restore on the iPod
7) I reconnected the iPod and had to reregister it and Voila! it worked again!!!!
Whatever the new features were in ver. 5.01, they were NOT worth the hassle I've experienced over the past two weeks. I'll stick with version 4.8 for awhile.
