Help setting up my new IPod Touch on iTunes on windows 7 64bit

Hello there,
I need help setting up my new IPod Touch to my Itunes 10 application on a PC running windows 7 64bit. I have watched the tutorial on how to do it but what the tutorial says it is supposed to do is not what is happenning for me:
1. In the tutorial it tells you to connect your ipod to your computer, then, (if it is for the first time) when the ipod appears and is selected, a window will come up allowing you to name your ipod, and begin selecting the options you wish to use.
I did as instructed but quickly came against some technical issues.
My issues:
1-1: When I selected the new iPod Touch for the dirst time I got an error message.
A) This was quickly fixed once I calld up apple support on the phone (turns out an IE browser setting was blocking it.)
1-2: With that fixed I selected my iPod Touch again but instead of the window indicated by the tutorial, I instead got an iPod registration form window.
1-3: I filled out the form and pressed the submit button (thinking everything was fine), then a new window came up that looks like this:
Free Find My iPhone
Free Find My iPad
Free Find My iPod touch

You can also find your iPad or iPod touch.Set up Find My iPad for free so you can locate your device if you lose it, remotely lock the screen, or wipe its data.

Find My iPhone (or iPad or iPod touch) enables you to locate your iPad with Wi-Fi or iPod touch only when it is on and connected to a registered Wi-Fi network. Find My iPhone is not available in all countries. "
The first three lines and the first paragraph are indented as if there should be some type of graphic there, but it is missing. The underlined words indicate that they are supposed to be links, but they don't go anywhere, they are broken!
Now wheenever I connect my iPod Touch and select it the above window comes up and nomatter what I try it will not move or change.
Please help!

i dont know how to connect my new ipod touch to itunes to set it up

Look at the Users Guide:
iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.0 Software)

Just tried to set up my new Ipod touch but nothing restored

Just Tried to set up my new Ipod touch and it does recognize it bu tI did not get any of my music or books or notes, nothing, what's up?

How did you restore?
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
Notes are associated with the iCloud ID used. Are y using theme ID as the old device?
Do they still show on the old device?

Can I restore my new ipod touch without itunes having internet connection? or Can I restore the ipod with the internet and no itunes?

Currently in the dessert and have access to a computer that has internet capability, but can not get itunes. I also have my computer from home, but I can not get internet connection to it for various reasons. My computer from home has itunes and all my music. What can I do to set up this new Ipod touch?

You need an internet connection using iTunes to restore the iPod.

I bought a new Ipod touch, my itunes will not see the music I already have on my PC

I bought a new Ipod touch, my itunes will not see the mp3 songs I already have on my PC

I have thousands of mp3's on my PC. I used to use a Zune, it died I made the move to I pod touch. I downloaded I tunes to my PC and a small amount of my music showed up on the screen. I did a search for an artist for whom I have lots of songs. I tunes can't find him and tries to direct to the I tunes store to buy stuff by him. Unacceptable
So then I went to my windows explorer, opened my folder for the artist, right clicked on a song, chose "play" and I tunes then played it. So now I tunes can find that one song but none of the others in that folder. I don't want to do this drill with all my songs since I have thousands that I tunes can't or won't display. Is this just some cynical move by Apple to get me to re-buy music I already have?

I also don't see any summary pane for me to reset to factory settings and start all over. how can someone help me on this? I tried turning on and off both the Ipod and computer, nothing, still the same and no Ipod is to be found on itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

Just what version of iTunes do you have? For a 5G iPod/iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later.. If you have a Mac yo need OSX 10.6.8 or later.
Does the iTunes still see the 4G iPod?
If necessary:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
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

New iPod touch does nothing under Windows XP

I have been bought a new iPod touch to put all my existing CDs onto. We already have iTunes from a previous iPod, and on connecting the touch to the Windows XP machine, all I got was the "install new hardware" screen, asking for a CD, which of course, Apple dont provide.
I checked the support pages, and it recommended installing the latest iTunes. I attempted to do this, and it wiped my registry, passwords, and killed the wireless link. After spending a day re-setting all this, and finally installing iTunes again (10.5 I think), the same thing happens - connect the touch via the USB cable, and "install new hardware" appears requesting a driver from the Apple CD.
Again, been on the support site to find help, and the only article I have found is to use MSCONFIG to turn everything off. I did this, but (surprise, surprise) it doesnt work.
So I am now stuck with a half dead Windows XP machine that works with the old iPod, and an iPod touch that works with nothing.
Other than returning the iPod touch to the retailer, what options do I have ?

Hi lllaass,
Sorry for the gap in replying.
Funny you should highlight that link, because it states on it that they dont expect a re-install to work under Windows, and ... you guessed it ... it didnt work !
I have tried re-installing it again and again, and I gave up. I kept getting a message that the previous install of iTunes failed, and that I had to complete THAT before I could un-install it - useful.
So, like I said, I gave up. I think re-installing for three weeks is enough.
Thanks anyway.

Connecting and syncing new iPod Touch to iTunes v10.1

I have several downloaded albums from the iTunes Store, along with some ripped cd's, and some downloaded albums that have been imported into iTunes, along with about 100 apps. I did have many of the albums on my previous iPod Nano 8gb, but in preparation for my iPod Touch 32gb 3g, I downloaded many free iPod apps, and bought a few.
Now, I forget all the things I checked in iTunes, but know it's set now to only sync on command, not automatically. When I connect the new iPod Touch 32gb 3g, I may also need to update the iOS to 4.2 also. First, can I do the iOS update with iTunes set to manual sync? Next, what options need to be set in iTunes to a)let this happen, and b)allow me to either manually or automatically sync my new iPod?
I realize now that when I do sync the new Touch, with that many apps (over 100) it might take a minute or two.

Can anyone help me out please?

Thanks!
Even though the diagnostics aren't showing errors for it, I think it's probably still worth checking on your USB drivers, as per the following document:

I have a new iPod Touch and PC running Windows 7. I want to upload pictures from my PC to my iPod. The best I can do right now is to create a new subdirectory on my PC and put all the pictures I want in that subdirectory. I want many subdirectories! ??

I have a new iPod Touch. I also run Windows 7 on my desktop PC. I have tried to post pictures from my PC to the iPod. But the only way you can do this that I know of, is to create a subdirectory on the PC and put all of your pictures that you want on the iPod in that subdirectory. Then you must use iTunes to synchronize the PC subdirectory with photos on the iPod. But I want many subdirectories to organize my pictures on the iPod. Can you do this??, it doesn't look to me like you can!??
Thanks Tom

Yes.

TS1363 I'm trying to set up my new ipod nano, it appears in windows and not in itunes- if I reinstall itunes, will the files of other ipod users on the computer be lost?

I'm trying to up my new Ipod Nano, it appears in Windows and not in Itunes, if I reinstall Itunes, will files previously set up by other Ipod users sharing the computer be lost?

You said " I sign in but her music list shows up mixed with about 1/3 of mine."
Sign in where?
What music list?
It also sounds like that computer is not authorized for the account. You can only have 5 computers authorized for one account. If yo go to iTunes>Store>View account and then sign in it will tell you how many (but no what computers) are authorized. There is no way to find out what computers are authorized.
You can deauthorize all computer once a year.

iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

Trying to transfer songs from ipod classic to new ipod touch. Itunes wont allow device library to load into itunes library?

My daughter received an ipod classic and loade4d some songs onto it from another itunes acct/computer. She also now has a new ipod touch and wants to transfer the songs, but I can't get it to share or add to iyunes librabry?

You need a 3rd party software to copy the iPod data to your PC, iTunes, then sync iTunes to the Touch.

How to set up a new iPod Touch and transfer data from old IPod Touch

ok, it's Friday night, I finished the cheese and about 1/2 a bottle of wine (myself... not ideal for a smurf my size) and I still can't find the answer to my question after searching [to the best of my most current ability] all over the forums (I even searched long before I started drinking wine). I appologize right now for my ignorance and inability to find the answer on my own.... but could someone PLEASE, just tell me the best way to kill my daughter's Ipod Touch 2nd Gen (advertised as Gen 3, ha, ha, on me), and set up her new-(to-us) Ipod Touch Gen 4? I've already backed up her old device to my computer? (it's a PC - sorry, it's free from my husband's office)
Do I set up her new-ish Gen 4 as a "new device" or "restore from back up?" She's young enough (grade school - & why she gets old/cheaper HW) that we both still uses my iTunes acct for her device and mine so that I own & can monitor/manage the music that we both listen to... but this time I'll set up her own iCloud acct. Although the new device (let's call it device B) has been wiped clean from the last user, how do I set it up? New device or restore from bk up? Now that she saved up the $ I paid for it, to pay me, she's driving me crazy about getting it going for her. Her orig/current device, iPod Gen 2ish (we can refer to that as device A) has been backed up to my computer and I'd like to port all of her data (calendar, contacts, pictures/movies, etc) to her new device. Please help this old mom... my girl is driving me crazy... and I feel bad not delivering her goods. Many thanks.

HELP! My brand new iPod touch 5th generation might be broken!

Hello, I recently got my Space Gray iPod touch 5th Generation that is 32GB and version is iOS 7.1.2. When I finally got it and was opening the package and trying to open it. I didn't know that there were 2 tabs on the bottom and top and I tried to pull the ipod out itself. I noticed I had to pull the tabs and then I got paranoid that I bent the ipod and it broke from the inside. Anyways, I set it up with no problem but when I went to sign in to App Store from my apple account and switched the keyboard to the numbers and other characters the keyboard got these weird short white lines and I got paranoid but when I switched the keyboard again and went back to the numbers keyboard the white lines did not appear. Now nothing strange is happening but I though that was a sign of my ipod was broken from the inside so I shaked ipod and heard nothing rattling from the inside so that gave a little relief. But I'm still VERY stressed out and paranoid because my mother got me this iPod from going to 5 stores to find the color I wanted and now I thought I was going to break it . Please help me apple community. Is the inside of my ipod ok? are there any other signs of the inside of the ipod broken? Please help, I'm only 12 and I'm going through so much stress .

Try:
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
