Having problems with syncing my iPod to my mac and trying to purchase a song but iTunes keeps saying "can't connect to server??

just got a new mac- been using PC. Having problems syncing my Ipod to my mac and when i try and purchase a song, itunes says "network connections timed out"-  what am I doing wrong??

Try a hard reset by pressing the Home button and Wake / Sleep button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
This does not lose any data on your iPad.

  • Hi, i'm having problem with syncing my Ipod. Please help me.

    I tried to transfer apps from my ipod to my computer, it said there is not enough space in my ipod, it really took about 500MB of space in my Ipod for nothing! how can fix that? and is Itunes always keep it's downloaded file (like Ipod Firmware update) in my computer's C drive?

    I am a little confused.  In some places your say there is not enough space on your iPod and other times you indicate that there is not enough space on your C drive.  How much available space do you have on your iPod?  How much is taken up by "other".  With you iPod connected to the computer the Summary page of iTunes for your iPod will breakdown the usage.  How much free space is available on your C drive?

  • Problems with syncing, recognising iPod, thinking it's corrupted...

    Hi, I've had this 30GB iPod photo of mine for a number of years now but for a long time it's been having problems with syncing. I've gotten an exciting variety of error messages when trying to sync with my iTunes, from my iPod software is out of date, by iPod is corrupted, to simply that my iPod will not sync for no adequately explained reason. Occasionally also Windows fails to recognise it. This was never too big of a problem because a few songs would transfer usually before it errored out on me, or I'd just unplug it, restart it and plug it in again and the few songs I wanted would go on. (I don't add giant chunks of new music to it that often) However just recently I discovered that about 300 songs were missing from it and I can't for the life of me get it to sync up again to put them back on. iTunes has been saying that An iPod has been plugged in but that it doesn't recognise it, or it'll start syncing and then say "Attempting to copy to disk "CASSIE'S IPOD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." Any help or advice? is my iPod just horribly corrupted in some way and beyond help except for expensive repairs and replacement? Or is this a software thing I can actually fix somehow?

    I eventually called an Apple Repair person about my Ipod, who advised me that "it sounded quite serious" and all he would do if I brought it in for repair would be to replace it with another reconditioned unit which would cost me $195! This was a newly "reconditioned" unit that I had just bought, so unfortunately it ended up going back. I've just requested a refund this time because this is the 2nd time this has happened to me in a month! I'm starting to think I was never destined to own an operating Ipod! I think I'll look at a Sony or Creative MP3 Player as an alternate. They seem to have good reviews and they'll probably work first time round! I'm a bit tired of Apple now! There just seems to be too many things that can - and DO - go wrong!

  • Problems with syncing my ipod

    Yesterday I updated my iPod tot 1.1
    After that it had that crappie bug with the video's, so I downgraded my iPod. After that I updated it again tot 1.1
    Now I have a problem with syncing my iPod (video's only).
    First I had some series it synced with my iPod, also after the first update. But after the second update it tells me there are some files it couldn't sync. (some videos it did sync btw, and the problem with the sound has gone, I can play movies normal now!)
    So the problem is now that it doesn't sync all my movies anymore, and I converted all of them with the same program..
    Anyone has the same problem or knows how to solve?

    Mijn advies: terug naar versie 1.0. Tenzij je versie 1.1 nodig hebt, natuurlijk (voor radio o.i.d.). Of wachten op versie 1.2
    Ik heb zojuist versie 1.0 geherinstalleerd, en alles werkt nu prima. En telkens als iTunes vraagt of ik de nieuwste versie wil installeren klik ik op NEE.

  • I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod to my computer.

    I'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. It gets stuck on the last step saying, "Waiting for changes to be applied." It's been doing this for the last half hour. Is there anything I can do to correct this or is am just going to have to restore my iPod?

    You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer.  If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    What "trouble" are you having?

  • Is anyone else having problems with syncing your phone & iPad since the last update?

    is anyone else having problems with syncing your phone & iPad since the last update?

    Here's the problems I'm having with iPad 2 and iOS 5.1:
    Okay ... so, because I had less than a 1 Gig left (as reported by iTunes) on my 64Gig iPad, and the majority of the space was being used by "Photos" ... I decided to not keep my PC photos directory in sync with my iPad (Windows 7). So, in iTunes, I unchecked the option to sync computer photos to the iPad. I got the standard popup warning message that my iPad would not contain those albums after the next sync. I clicked OK and proceeded to sync expecting to have lots of space freed up.
    But weird things happened after syncing.
    (1) I still have all my photos on my iPad .... nothing disappeared at all. (And performed multiple syncs to try to force the change ... still nothing has been removed from my iPad.)
    (2) Somehow, I gained 20 Gigs of free space, as reported by both iTunes and my iPad as well.
    Anyone know what's going on here?
    I do have iMovie and another movie making app, Avid. Both of these contain projects that refer to photos in albums that were supposed to be removed after the sync ... but I can't imagine that would keep them there. Anyone have any ideas?
    I also installed the iPad app, iPhoto. I noticed that it build a directory listing and continuously want to update that listing from time to time.
    Would any of these things cause the iTunes photo sync changes to be ignored? And, how did I get free space to report back with an additional 19Gig or so, when there's no change at all.
    Unsure what's going on ...

  • Canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors

    canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors
    i have prfiled the mac and printer wiht colormunki and uplodated the profile sucessfully
    i set the printer to correct icc profile
    print out comes out same with glazed colors and missing tones/colors
    however when i use the same printer on windows and with light room, following same icc profile, colormunki calibrated profile, the print our are excellent.
    i have also tried using printer manage profile using the Mac and Aperture and get same poor prints
    can  you please assist and thanks

    I've a Pro9000 and also use Colormunki successfully.
    When I use Colormunki, I calibrate both of my monitors and the printer/paper combination. Colormunki saves the generated profiles to the correct places -- I don't load or change any profiles after that as that would mess-up what the Colormunki had just done for me, and this would likely mess-up the prints.
    Though I double-check the settings in the print dialogue, the choice for the printer handling things is already grayed-out. Colorsync handles it all just fine.

  • I can't update my ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server"(despite internet connection being fine). Also, when I try and update software it starts then stops after 2 seconds

    I can't update my Ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server" despite internet connection being fine. When I receive a software update message;I say install and it starts updating then stops after 2 seconds. Help! (It is a 3rd gen IPod touch(I think)). Presumably as a result of this, I have tried to put my library onto my gf's new iPod touch and it just charges it..doesn't download my library onto the touch).

    Update Server
    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
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    Having difficulty connecting my Ipad to FaceTime and messages. I've updated the latest software and have WI-FI/3G coverage but it keeps saying: "could not sign in, please check your network connection." Can anyone help?

    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • HT2731 I have been trying to update my ipod and it keeps saying can't connect to the store but I'm able to purchase apps from the store. Which I did right after it said that???

    I don't know what's going on with my ipod it keeps saying can't connect to store when I try to download updates but I can still buy apps from the store???

    Make sure your system time & date is set properly. If it is not, then move it backwards 2 months, then try to connect to the store. Good chance it will work then.
    Change it back after again.

    Check out the following articles for troubleshooting access to the iTunes Store. The first one will probably get you started enough to get it taken care of. If it does not the follow up article should definitely solve it for you.

  • Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?

    Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?
    I've tried resetting safari, deleting all webpage data and setting time/date to automatic, but no such luck.
    The message that comes up is: "Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server 'Facebook' "
    I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone were to actually work out what was wrong.

    Hi ..
    Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
