  • Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync

    Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync. Keeps saying I need 26gb of free space which it didn't say before I downloaded the update. It doesn't make sense. It keeps saying:
    The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library. (additional 26gb required)
    This makes no sense because before the new itunes update there was no problem with me not having enough space. I have 5gb of free space now and I had 5gb of free space before I downloaded the itunes update. Nothing should've changed. And I should not need an extra 26gb of space. How do i fix this problem so I can my ipod normally again.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.

  • Updated to new iPhone OS and now it wont finish syncing in iTunes 11.1.2

    Hi,
    I updated (iPhone 4) to new iPhone OS (7.0.3) and now it wont finish syncing in iTunes 11.1.2
    I wind up having to just unplug the phone.
    Also - everytime I plug the phone into computer, it asks me if I should trust this computer and I say yes - but it asks every time.
    Also a flag pops up saying it cant connect to an apple server. (???)
    (I am running Snow Leopard) 
    any suggestions?
    thanks
    ds

    You have to update to 10.6.8 first.
    Then, if your machine qualifies, this explains how to get Mavericks:

  • Just got new hard drive and now itunes wont work

    I had my hard drive replaced in April and started having problems right away. I finally had a chance to bring it in today and they replaced the hard drive again. I don't have an external hard drive so I couldn't back up my music that way, so I tried using CDs and that didn't work either. At the store, the guy that was helping me suggested I use a flash drive. So, he did that for me. He said when I set up the computer I should open the flash drive first and drag and drop the saved music into the music folder and then open itunes. I did the first part but when I opened itunes I got a message saying "The file 'itunes library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes.
    Does anyone know what that means? itunes wont open at all and I can't even listen to my old music. Any help would be appreciated.

    Did you try using the File>Add to Library option? I would dump everything you put in the music folder, since it's not recognizing it, and then try to re-import it using that option.
    Technically, the prompt means that you're using, for example, iTunes 7 to try to open a file that iTunes 9 created, and it won't be able to do it. Do you know what version of iTunes you used to create the original file, and which version you're using now? It's hard to imagine the one you're currently using is older than the one creating the file.

  • I have a nano and want to transfer my music from it to my new iPad. Unfortunately upon the excitement of setting up my new iPad I created a new apple Id and now cannot sync. Can I do it another way. Step by step pls I'm technologically challenged!

    I have a nano and want to transfer my music to my new iPad, in all the excitement of setting up my iPad I created a new apple Id and now I can't sync my music!
    Can someone please advise if there is a way to transfer my music to my iPad manually? If so, please detail step by step, as I am technologically challenged! Thanks in anticipation.

    You can search within your music folder on your pc, or within documents folder for a music folder.
    In any case, you would need to sync with itunes

  • Each time I connect my iPhone 4s in to iTunes as it keeps trying to set up the phone as a new one. How do I fix this?

    Each time I connect my iPhone 4s to iTunes, it tries to set up my phone as a new one/restore from back up. I have it all set up already, but it keeps appearing. What do I need to do to stop this?

    Hello there, deelish.
    A great Knowledge Base article that has some valid information is:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    The pertinent section for you would be:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues.

  • I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

    I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

    If it won't turn on then the monitor is dead (power supply?, video circuits?).  Not worth repairing.
    If you have a new iMac then it has thunderbolt.  So exactly what is that monitor you are trying to connect?  For TB you can connect a mini-displayport monitor.   Probably (not 100% sure with TB) can use dvi or vga too if you have the appropriate adapter.

  • I connected my ipod before installing softwear and now it wont work

    i connected my ipod before installing softwear and now it wont work...like abosolutely nothing...its frozen

    First of all, try resetting the iPod. It may take several attempts and is best done connected power.
    Then download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted (not before), then follow the set up procedure.

    hi I recently dropped my ipod touch and now it wont connect to itunes. Everytime i plug it in, i get an error message saying that the usb device is not recognized

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
