Cant connect ipod to itunes! Required file missing!

Whenever I try to connect my ipod(nano 3rd gen.)to itunes, it says required file missing. What do i do?

Could be iTunes problem similar to those that many Windows users are having. Do you have your music files backed up? Try the 5 Rs under troubleshooting. If you recently upgraded to iTunes 7.7.1, you may have to uninstall and install an older version. I detailed what I went trough the past two weeks in nano and iTunes topic posts.

I tried to connect ipod tocuh to windows xp laptop but cant get it to be recognized by itunes and it has problems connecting to the computer itself.it can connect to the other laptop though.

Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
Are these requirements met ?
Is the PC virus-free ?
is XP at SP3 ?
Has it any other issues with USB hardware in general ?

Cant connect ipod to itunes

I just got a refurbished Ipod Touch. It will not allow me to uploads new apps or connect to Itunes store. Do I need to register this?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

New- cant connect Ipod to itunes...

So I got an ipod yesterday (limits 7,500 songs) and Ive been trying to connect it to my MAC G4. The thing is that I downloaded the info on the cd and I connected my ipod to the 2.0 USB in my computer and nothing happens. I try clicking on my itunes and the only thing that occurs is that the ipod reads (do not disconnect this). I dont know whats going on. I just printed the instructions on this website. Does anyone know anything about this. I'll apologize in advance. Im not very computer literate.

Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Connect Ipod to Itunes Message

My ipod's battery died on me while I was on vacation about 3 days ago. At the time I had no means of charging it, but when I returned home I attempted to charge it on my PS3 (I have done this many times and it usually works fine). When I turned my ipod on it displayed the 'connect ipod to itunes' message (a usb plug with an arrow pointing at the itunes symbol). However, I can't connect my ipod to itunes because it is locked. I can't enter my passcode on my ipod because it is frozen on the 'connect ipod to itunes' screen. This has happened to me once before but I didn't have a passcode for my ipod at the time, so I was able to access it on itunes and fix whatever was wrong. Any suggestions?

you need to force recovery mode on the ipod and then restore it.
that screen means the ipod found something wrong with itself and you need to restore anyways
when the ipod is not connected to the computer, hold down the sleep/wake button and slide to power off.
once the ipod is off, hold down the home button and do not let it go!
plug the ipod into the computer and open itunes. you should get a message stating itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode.
once you see that let go of the home button, click ok on the message then click restore in itunes.

If you have a backup of your information on your computer, I would suggest putting your phone into recovery mode, by holding down the home key and keeping it held down while you connect it by usb into your computer with itunes running. Keep the home button held down until it indicates recovery mode, and proceed with the restore.

'iTunes.smi file missing'. Can't open iTunes

I got a seriously problem to open iTunes grogram on my PC.
'iTunes.smi file missing' or 'can't located' prompted when I intented to repair, uninstall or reinstall. I'd tried to seek this file in my local C driver and My Network Space. but un success. So I can’t open my iTunes in any way.
A captured screen attached below when I tried to repair
A captured screen attached below when I tried download from Apple web and install iTunes .

What follows is a LOG that I took as I dealt with the above problem noted in this post. I apologize for the *CAPS LOCK SYNDROME* and the *AKWARD NATURE OF MY PROCESS* but *IT WORKED!!!*
*IWEB REDESIGN PROBLEM (April 13, 2008)*
1. OPEN DOMAIN FILE AND RENAMED 'index-new.xml' to 'index.xml'
2. STILL NO CHANGE AND CANNOT OPEN IWEB FILE!
3. AFTER SOME TIME IT OPENED THE FILE BUT COULDN'T FIND ALL MEDIA FILES (LINK SEEMED BROKEN)
4. COPIED BOTH DOMAIN AND DOMAIN.SITES FILE TO EXTERNAL HD.
5. TRASHED REMAINING DOMAIN FILES FROM APPLICATION SUPPORT/ IWEB FOLDER.
6. TRANSFERED ORIGINAL DOMAIN FILE (SAVED) FROM EXTERNAL HD TO INTERNAL HD IWEB FOLDER.
7. DELETED PLIST FILE FROM PREFERENCES.
8. OPENED IWEB APPLICATION WHICH CREATED NEW DOMAIN FILE (of course).
9. TRASHED NEW DOMAIN FILE.
10. TRIED TO OPEN ORIGINAL DOMAIN FILE WHICH I RENAMED AS 'Domain (redesign 2008)' BUT IT WOULDN'T! STARTING FROM NEW DOMAIN FILE INSTEAD!
11. TRIED TO RENAME THE ORIGINAL FILE BACK TO JUST 'DOMAIN' AND WALLAH AFTER MUCH TRIAL AND ERROR ORIGINAL FILE IS BACK EXACTLY AS I LEFT IT BEFORE UPLOADING TO .MAC ACCOUNT LAST NIGHT.
THOUGHTS:
Something definitely happened to the original domain file when it was being uploaded to .mac account and the renaming of the index.xml file to index-new.xml plus the inclusion of another 'Domain.sites' file in my iWeb folder where originally there was only one 'Domain' file caused the confusion and resulting panic that followed! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
The crazy thing is that this will probably happen again as I make more changes (redesign) and upload them to the mac server. If someone has a *REAL FIX* to prevent this CHANGE from happening - *PLEASE POST THIS HERE!*
Good luck to all who read this and remember: 'When there is a will, there is a way!'

Cannot install iTunes in Windows XP because of a iTunes.msi file missing error.

I'm running Itunes on Windows XP. Get an error message of Itunes.msi file missing. Cannot remove Itunes via the control panel; get an error the network file path for a file is missing. Itunes repair does not work. How can I remove Itunes and reinstall?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
