    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
    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs

  • HT201263 so my friend disabled my ipod to the point that the ipod said "iPod disabled connect to iTunes" but my computer wont connect to iTunes beacuse iTunes is saying that it's not connected to the internet when my interenet is working just fine, so wha

    So my friend had my iPod and he disabled it to where it said "iPod disabled connect to iTunes" but my computer will not connect to iTunes and I really need to know if there's a way I can restore my iPod?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Helpppp My Ipod Will not connect to itunes via my computer, but when i plug it into my laptop it connects but doesnt have all my songs on the itunes library. How can i add songs to my ipod via my laptop

    Nothing should be lost.
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
    See the Using iTunes Section Here...
    How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    NOTE:
    The 2nd Gen iPod Touch can only go to 4.2.1

  • Ipod not connecting to iTunes but it is connecting to mac

    Hi,
    My Ipod classic stopped connecting to itunes a couple of days ago. I went and update itunes to the latest version and updated my mac to mavericks and it still is not connecting to itunes.
    It appers on my desktop so I know it can connect to the mac and it will charge while connected. I also plugged in my ipad 2 and iphone and both of those can connect and sync with itunes. I used the same USB cable to do this too.
    I have tired to just delete itunes and reinstall but I am not able to.

    Hey there bxhonda,
    It sounds like you are unable to see your iPod in iTunes, but you can see it on the desktop. I would use the following troubleshooting in the following article:
    iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/#
    Start with resetting your device. There are additional steps in the article to try if you need them:
    To reset your iPod:
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • ITunes No Longer Synching With iPods, Not Connecting with iTunes Store

    iPods: both iPod touch, 2nd Generation, 8GB
    iTunes: (Most Recent Version)
    Issue:
    For a while, the iPods of myself and a family member have not been able to synch our iPods with iTunes anymore: when plugged in, it only appears to charge, does not show up in "Devices", does not do anything. I've run Diagnostics several times, tried redownloading iTunes, & checked settings, etc.
    Also, whenever I try to go into iTunes Store, it says that it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store", even if connection to the internet is fine.
    These problems started occurring simultaneously, as well as out of no where. As I recall, I had no problem synching & going into iTunes Store the day before.

    Ask your other family members if they did. Something has to have changed.
    I am betting it's something on the PC, since two ipods going bad at the same time would be highly unlikely.
    If you have auto updates turned on for Windows & security software, it might not even be obvious they occurred.
    You can try restarting your modems/routers/and PC, in that order.

    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.

    b) go to Settings > Safari > Reset History and clear that
    c) go to Settings > Safari > Reset Cookies and clear those
    d) try the iTunes store again
