Getting error in Itunes need help been trying all day!

I'm getting error when I connect my ipod to computer and bring up iTunes error states
An Ipod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect iPod, then try again.
if the problem persists, uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 4 times... made sure my software for computer was up to date... switched usb iPod cords.. restarted computer followed a forum with same error happening to someone else.. i'm getting no where was working great yesterday purchased some new songs and now wont work any help would be great I have no idea what im doing!!

dana1322,
I had the same problem and found a different response elsewhere in help that worked for me.  On Jan 29, 2014 at 3:37 PM "ifyoucouldpleasehelpme" asked this questions and got the following answer, which I tried and it solved the problem for me.
You need to remove a number of Apple programs, not just iTunes and then when you install ITunes again it will install all the up to date software you need.
a) Remove the following program in the following order:
ITunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
5Apple Applications Support (I actually had 2 versions of this a 32 bit and a 64 bit - so I removed them both)
b) Then restart your computer (I have Windows 8 on a Dell)
c) Then install the latest version of iTunes (it installs all 5 of the programs above)
d) Restart you computer.
I hope it works for you as well as it did for me.
Best of Luck
Greg

    If you haved tried all the fixes and suggestions, there is not much to add. Just in case: did you really try using this tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to first eliminate all traces of Reader, and then use the full offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/?

I'll post when I find a way around it and I will . iOS 6 took away most of my AirPlay functionality . to hek with iPhone 5 I'm starting to look at android. big bummer apple

  • Really need some help been stuck all day on this

    ok i'm abit confused I've been stuck on this problem all day and would appreciate your help
    Classes Animal, tiger, lion etc all have constructors that take values and work
    I'm trying to create an array of animals eg different types and display them all together using a toString
    All ive managed to do was get a memoryaddress of the object
    I have multiple classes eg abstract base class Animal Tiger extends Animal Lion extends Animal etc
    Animal is abstract and has an abstract String toString method
    All the derived classes have String toString methods that returns a description
    how do i put them all together in arrays and call the string toString for all the different animals
    public void displayMethod()
    println(objectname);
    I have tested the constructors for all classes using a single instance and they work it's just puting them all together in an array and then displaying all the different animals using each classes toString

    You are nearly there!
    for (int i=0; i<animals.length; i++)
      System.out.println(animals.toString());
    }Note the use of animals.length in the for loop. This guarantees you only loop over the number of objects in the array and prevents an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
    Edit: Huh? Where did your previous post go? It seems to have disappeared!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

  • Updating from 10.4.7 to 10.4.9 - been trying ALL day!

    Hi there. I decided last night to reinstall my iMac from the setup discs as I was having a few glitches (not wanting to shut down, having to keep forcing apps to quit etc). All went well, til I tried to upload my iLife '08 disc this morning. I discovered my installation discs were from Feb so i'm currently running on 10.4.7 - iLife 08, need a minimum of 10.4.9. I've tried doing via system preferences, software update, but just keeps getting stuck on locating software. so i've then tried downloading direct from the apple downloads site. still no joy. do i need to install 10.4.8, then 10.4.9, then 10.4.10 to get the most uptodate version? Doesn't seem right, and now the imac is running drastically slower on the internet too. taking an estimated 4 hours to download 250mb (my internet connection is slow anyway only on a 2meg connection, but still). Any help on the quickest way to get uptodate? And then to top it off, at lunch I had the same problem. Refused to shutdown when I tried, all icons disappeared off screen, but i was left with the blue background. I feel like I'm back in the pc days, and just want to curl up with my MacBook and forget about this iMac !!! Any advice gratefully appreciated.

    i'm really surprised if i have to download previous versions to get to 10.4.10
    You don't, that is what the 10.4.10 Combo updater is for.
    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.

  • Trying to inistall itunes keep getting error code 2330 need help unistalling and reinstalling

    Im trying to install itunes but keep getting an error message. (The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package, this may indicate a problem with this package. Error code 2330
    I need some resolution please assist. I did call microsft but they want to charge just to get help.  I need assistance please.
    Thank  you

    Although it's a better bet with a 2330 than a 2349, I'd try running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive. 
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Ipod not recognized by computer or itunes.!please help..been trying all day

    i did 4 of the 5 R's because when i tried to restore my ipod the ipod updater 2006-03-23 wont even update because it thinks my ipod isnt plugged in. what can i do.

    I have a very simular issue. I had my 5G iPod replaced by apple and i'm very scared it may happen again. I had the 5G for 2 weeks when iTunes would take a long time to recognize it. XP MCE 2205 will recognize it immediately, but iTunes does not start automatically nor does it recognize it if i start it. Then, i got that folder with exclamation icon, this is the reason they replaced it. I got the new one today, and connected it to my USB 2.0 port as i did before. Has been working fine. All of the sudden, iTunes is not recognizing it again. Restarted the computer and then iTunes decided to recognize it, and then iTunes locked up. I waited, then i got the "long write failed" error in windows. That scared me. I had to kill iTunes. Restarted my computer while removing the 5G from the USB. Once the computer was logged on, i connected the 5G to the onboard USB1.1 and... so far so good. The USB2.0 is a 4 port PCI card. ???? Does that have anything to do with my problems? Maybe not!

  • Getting error #1009 desperately need help

    Ive created a search engine in flex no to elaborate and it
    works to a certain extent. the timeline is i input a word and hit
    the search button it sends the word to a php script that looks in
    the database for entries in a table that match then returns the
    values of the rows to the php file and spits out an xml file. The
    xml is then parsed by the search engine and the nodes are put into
    an array collection whos data is then used by my itemRenderer to
    populate a list component.
    Now the problem i have is that if i input a search word that
    i know has more than one entry in the database all the code works
    the search works and it populates the list properly. However if i
    input a word that has only 1 or no entry it get the error #1009 and
    i cant figure out why. i kind of understand if the arrayCollection
    has nothing in it since its a null object but when i know theres an
    entry it makes no sense why its spitting that error out.. heres my
    mxml code for the search engine..Thank you in advance to any who
    can help me..

    Would you be able to elaborate on how to go about it..ive
    tried putting it into and xmllistcollection and a couple of other
    ways but i still get either the same result or i get another error
    because of a failed coercion i believe..thanks for the help so far
    any other help would be appreciated..

  • I cannot get into my iMessage account on my iPad!!!!! I've been trying all day!

    It was working fine before but now I'm just getting real upset that it say it has a problem with me logging in when I am doing everything right!!!!!

    Hi,
    It might also help if you told us what you are doing to try and login which you think is right.
    One definition of crazy is repeating the same actions overs and over expecting different results.
    You could have an iPad that uses a SIM card as well as WiFi.
    You may not then get an alert about not being able to contact the servers.
    You may be doing all the right actions but have a poor and bad internet connection.
    Although it is unlikely the place you are at may be blocking the port Messages uses.
    More possible but also unlikely is that they (it is always "they") are blocking access to the servers by name. (Domain Blocking).

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.
