Connecting a new ipod to my computer- Getting error message

Hope someone can help me with this one...I am trying to download music from my computer to my new ipod (have another one too) and am getting the following error message:
"The IPOD "SHABNAMS" can not be used because it requires itunes Version 7.0 or later. Go to itunes.com to download the latest version of itunes or install itunes from the cd that came with your ipod."
I have version 7.0 downloaded already and was even able to sync the ipod with my laptop, but I keep getting the message above with my desktop computer.
Any ideas onw hat to do?
Thanks!

1. Is there anything I need to do before I connect this new iPod to my iBook and do an update?
No. Simply plug it in.
2. Will my iTunes library freakout if it sees a new iPod connected?
No. It will ask if you want to link the iTunes Library to this new iPod. Just say Yes.
3. Will I be able to name this iPod anything I want and not create a conflict when I plug my own iPod later?[/b
Yes, no problem.
4. Would I be better off creating a new user in my PB, then connect/update the new iPod?
Not if you are only gonna connect the iPod one or two times.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

  • HT201210 Trying to restore ipod and keep on getting error message: the ipod software update server could not be contacted. the network connection was reset

    Hello can someone please help? Trying to restore ipod and I keep on getting error message: The IPod software update server could not be contacted. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network is active and try again.

    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
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • I'm trying to add a new domain and I'm getting error message.

    Hi,
    I'm trying to add my new domain name and I'm getting error message that says: 'Cannot add domain because this domain already exists. Please delete the domain and I already deleted it along with all the 'A Records', 'CNAME Records (Alias)', MX Records',  and 'Advanced DNS Records'. I have a ton of new fans coming to the site tonight. Help!!!

    Did you ever setup another trial BC site before and attach that domain name?  I'm pretty sure that if the domain name is attached to BC's nameservers already even if it's under another account then it won't work.  Not 100% sure about it but it's a likely culprit.  Try to type the subdomain you are adding into a browser and add "/admin" and see if you can login to BC-- if it's an old site you had setup then you should remove the subdomain from that account first and then try to add it to your newer BC site.

  • My sister wants to connect her new ipod to the computer that my nano is on.

    K my sister just got a new ipod shuffle and wants to connect it to the computer. my nano is already connected to the same computer she wants to use.
    How do i put it on the computer without messing up my itunes?
    Please help if you can

    iTunes will recognize that it is a different device. However, if you're worried that your sister is going to rate songs differently than you would like, well that's different. See if this article offers any guidance:

  • HT1386 my i touch will not synci with my computer getting error message

    My i touch will not synci with my computer, keep getting erro message can you help?

    Restore.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • New ipod not syncing to library - error message -69?

    Just bought new ipod and it begins to sync with my existing library, but once it gets to the "K"'s it says it can't sync a particular song and then only syncs a tiny fraction of what it was syncing before the error message.
    I thought it was a particular problem with the song, so I deleted the song. Then I deleted an entire artist. Then it had the same issue with the next artist in line alphabetically.
    Help!

    The message is saying that iTunes can find the file for  "Stuff you need to know part 3" can't be found.  Does (what ever it is, a song? podcast or what) play in iTunes?  Try deleting and redownloading.
