Connecting Itouch to Itunes

I am getting an error message when I try to load my new ITouch to my existing ITunes account - it says it is unable to sync because it can't located the "disc"
Any ideas how to fix this? I've downloaded ITunes 7.6 and restarted the computer. Also, if I delete ITunes from my system and reload it, will I lose all my music?
Thanks

Thanks already tried it and it won't work still. My iPad does the same when I try to connect? The only thing I haven't tried yet is to remove and reinstall iTunes. For fear of loosing my library?
Any suggestions?

  • HT1386 How to download music from ITouch to ITunes? It has stopped working.

    When I first connected ITouch to ITunes it worked beautifully. Now it syncs the first three steps but does not add or delete music from either device. Any thoughts?
    FYI - I have downloaded latest version of ITunes. I am running Windows 2007.

    Refresh my memory as to what is step 3?
    Does it complete the sync or freeze?
    What is Windows 2007?

    Hi Hirra,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've synced your iPod touch with iTunes, but the music doesn't appear on the device, you may want to try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the right article below. If you're syncing music, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.

  • Not connected to internet, iTunes does not recognize iPhone

    I have the most recent version of iTunes. When I am not connected to the internet, I can not get iTunes to recognize either my iPhone or iTouch. When I plug my iphone in to iTunes, nothing. When I plug my kids iTouch into iTunes, nothing.
    When I am connceted to the internet, iTunes recognizes the devices without issue.
    Any thoughts or suggests would be greatly appreciated.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    what should i do now?!, will the apple specialist take it and help me fix it?????

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • Syncing iTouch with iTunes risks...

    I have an iTouch and it has previously been synced directly to my iTunes.
    My iTunes recently was completely cleared and I lost all of my songs. I am keeping all the music I have on my iTouch and would like to keep it that way.
    If I sync my iTouch to my iTunes will it delete all of the songs on my iTouch also?
    And is there a way to move songs onto the iTouch without syncing it?

    The Touch is not like other iPods when in auto-sync mode. With the Touch you have to initiate an auto-sync, but a Classic iPod in auto-sync mode will attempt to auto-sync as soon as you connect it to iTunes.
    So, you can safely connect your Touch to iTunes, *just don't press the Sync button or you'll wipe out its contents!* When you plug your Touch in, the very first thing you need to do is change to "Manually manage music and video". That option is on the summary page, below the picture of your Touch in iTunes. Select that option, then click the "Apply" button at the bottom-right of your screen.
    In manual mode iTunes will never delete things on the Touch that are not in your library, and instead of synchronizing with your library you manually drag items over to the Touch to load them. Some people like manual mode better since it prevents things from being deleted, but the downside is that you lose the bi-directional communication between the Touch and iTunes. So, things like ratings and playcounts from the Touch do not update the iTunes library. But since your library is empty right now, that does not apply.
    I highly recommend that you recover your songs from your Touch and put back on your computer. Never rely on an iPod to hold the only copy of your music! It is far too easy to lose the music if the Touch has a technical problem, or is lost/stolen. There are many 3rd party applications that you can use to extract your media from your Touch -- iTunes will only extract those items you purchased from iTunes, not CDs you ripped or songs from other sources. Once you successfully recover your music from your Touch and get your library into shape, then you can return to auto-sync. Just make sure you set up a backup routine for you computer in case an error like this happens again.

  • I am using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit on a brand new PC, and cannot connect to the iTunes store using iTunes version 10.  HELP!!

    Ok, so after purchasing a new computer, with windows 7 pro, 64 bit, I tried downloading the newest iTunes, which at the time was 10.2.1 (i believe).  After installation, everything seemed to work, except that iTunes was unable to securely connect to the internet, use home sharing, or validate my computer.
    As troubleshooting, I first ran msconfig, and then turned OFF all programs that boot at start up EXCEPT itunes and quicktime.  After a restart, i opened itunes again, and got the same result.  That led me to believe that iTunes was NOT being blocked by another program on my machine.  I am currently running itunes 10.7 successfully on a Windows 7 32 machine at work.  Anyhow, for grins, I tried to install version 9 on the new computer, and it installed perfectly, and immediately connected to the itunes store, leading me to believe that there is nothing wrong with my software configuration (not sure if this is a safe assumption or not).  I then tried to let iTunes update itself using the automated update function.  It tried to update itself to the most current version, then 10.6.  Again, iTunes was unable to connect to the iTunes store.  I HAVE tried disabling the anti-virus software (AVG), but that made no difference. 
    I have since gone back and reinstalled iTunes 9.  Here's the catch though.  When I reinstalled using version 9, I had to redo all my library files.  I'm about 1/2 way through my CD's, and now have a substantial library file going.  The last time I let iTunes update itself to 10.6, once I realized that it was not going to connect to the store, I uninstalled iTunes, and reinstalled ver. 9.  However, when I did this, it told me it could no longer open the library file, because it was a newer .itl or .xml (i believe it was one of those two extensions) library file.  At that point, I basically started everything over again, using version 9, and have been importing CD's like a madman at night.
    Here are my questions:
    1) Is there a way to make a copy of the files that store my library info, so that if my upgrade to ver 10 IS NOT SUCCESSFUL, I can restore ver 9, but still have all of the album art work, playlists (when I import music, I create a playlist with the artists' name, and store things that way), etc. in tact? 
    2) What else can I try (firewall settings, internet options, etc.) to try and get version to to successfully install?  I would really like to get all the benfits of the newer versions.
    3) When I tried to get apple tech support before, they wanted me to pay a ridiculous 69$ fee for phone support.  I just bought an iphone 5....this should entitle me to a fresh 90 days of phone support, right?  The reason I ask here is that I could hardly understand the "tech" that answered the phone when I called for tech support last time, and to be honest, it really ****** me off that they wanted to try and milk me for another 69 bucks....I've purchased every iPhone since the 3Gs came out (pre-ordered at that), and have nearly gone broke purchasing music from their iTunes store....heck, maybe they're doing me me a favor not letting me into the store, huh?
    Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated,
    -Brian

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • ITunes could not connect to the iTunes Store "Error Message"

    I recently added iTunes 7.6 to my Windows XP operating system at the same time when I added an *Ion USB Turntable (TTUSB).* I currently have the 80G iPod with the larger video screen. I added in the supplied software of the EZ Vinyl Converter. The software reads from Gracenote and imports into iTunes okay. But now my PC cannot access the iTunes store to buy songs, read the tracks on the discs, or display new album artwork. The diagnostic read the network connectivety test, the CD/DVD drive, and iPod connectivity tests all read okay. I followed the directions on checking the network settings under the Internet Options Tool "Connections" Lan Settings and the Automatic detection and still no dice. All I get is "Make sure your network is active."

    I'm seeing this error on some, but not all, of my Windows XP machines. On my personal development XP box, I see this error if iTunes is closed when I try and access iTunes U via my transfer script or Stanford's.
    "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was terminated unexpectedly. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
    The errors occured in IE 7 Beta, Firefox 1.5.x, and Firefox 2 Beta. In each case, iTunes U loaded after I clicked the 'ok' button in iTunes. I did notice that in Firefox's case an additional pop-up window appeared that asked whether or not I had iTunes; when I selected that I do have itunes, it transfered me to iTunes but generated the error.
    After getting these errors on my Windows XP machine, I tried it on two different lab machines running Windows XP, and didn't get the error message once -- I tried it in IE 6, Firefox 1.0.x and Firefox 1.5.x and they all worked. It even worked with IE 7 Beta and Vista Beta.
    Based on this, I think the problem must lie in how Windows registered iTunes, and the handshake just isn't happening properly.
