i have my account set, but i cant find out how to get the apps to properly download. am i doing something wrong?
10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) is an upgrade from Leopard, which you apparently have (10.5.8).
iTunes 11 requires 10.6.8 (not 10.8.6 as you have typed). If your Mac is an Intel one with at least 1Gb of RAM then you can buy Snow Leopard in the online Apple Store (type 'Snow Leopard' in the search box rather than browsing for it).
Once installed, download the combo updater to bring it up to 10.6.8:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
You will then be able to install iTunes 11. However if your Mac has a PPC processor you cannot install Snow Leopard and will be unable to proceed. To check this, choose 'About This Mac' from the Apple menu and look where it says 'Processor' - it needs to say 'Intel' for you to be able to upgrade.

I have an old ipod touch, and have just purchased a new 4th Gen one. How do I get my Apps from the old one to the new one. I've had to wipe the hard drive on my Pc so they aren't in my I tunes.
- Transfer your iTunes' purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Try making a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup.
- Connect your new iPod and restore the iPod from that backup if you wish. -

Got a used 4th gen nano and I need to sync it with my library on my computer. I can see the ipod but i cant figure out how to authorize it
You don't need to "authorize" it, unless you are trying to sync content that uses DRM (copy protection). You probably just need to set up syncing.
First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
Select the iPod in the sidebar. The iPod's Summary screen is shown to the right. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music to the right of Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the iPop's storage, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. From the lists below, select what you want to sync the iPod. One convenient way to set this up is to create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, and put ALL of the songs you want on the iPod on those playlists. (Or you can use existing playlists.) Back on the iPod's Music screen, select (checkmark) those playlists under Playlists. You can also select other items on those lists, as desired.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selections to the iPod. Going forward, to update the iPod, just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes automatically. -
What's the best way to transfer all the content, including notes and apps, from my old 3rd gen to my new 4th gen. When I replaced my last iTouch with the 3rd gen I lost all my contacts and notes.
Backup the 3g by syncing in iTunes. Then connect the new one and sync everything to it from your backup.

Unable to register or sync new 4th gen iTouch
New 4th generation iTouch won't allow me complete the initial registration process in iTunes. I'm unable to sync or do anyting (Windows 7).
Open iTunes's Preferences and go to the Device tab. If there is an entery for a backup delete it. and try again.
Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and restore via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

HT1222 The 6.1 IOS update download times out when my I Pod is connected to itunes, why?
When I connect my iPod touch 4 to i Tunes it asks me if I want to update my software to IOS 6.1. When I agreed it starts to download and says that it will take about 2 minutes. The time then starts to increase quickly and then the server times out. I had the same problem with my i Phone and i Pad, but as they could connect through my home's wifi they updated outsside of i tunes. My i Pod touch 4 is the only item out of date. I cant find any help on the Aplle Web site.
Thanks, I don't get an error message just that the network connection timed out. It races to about 85mb of fownload and then stops dead. I have run a diagnostics on I Tunes and it says all is ok

I have had my frist account for a very long time. I was the first in the family to an apple product. After awhile my family joined in on my account. So instead of having to deal with all their music getting on my ipod/iphone I created a new account. Well, I recently updated my iphone and for some reason it wouldnt let me listen to my music. It would just skip around and never play anything. So I ended up deleting it all and tyring to start over. I have all the music from my first account on it but now it wont let me put my music from my second account. It says " This Device is already associated with an apple ID" " If you download past purchases with you Apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days." then it gives me the option to "cancle" or "transfer". I dont know what to do after that. I am scared to click transfer because I dont want to lose any of my music I had just loaded on. Help?
It is not telling you to update your iphone, it is telling you that you need to update itunes on your computer.

4th Gen iTouch - charge by cig-liter adapter
Called the Apple support hotline - asked if the new 4th Gen iTouch comes with a wall charger/USB cord. The Apple rep told me it does.
Bought one, NO wall charger plug, only the USB cord. Why ? and can I buy a cig/liter adapter that will charge my new 4th Gen iTouch ?I bought a USB/cig.liter adapter which lites up when I plug it in, but the battery icon on my Touch does not show up, nor does it seem to be charging. I received one answer from the Apple Community earlier stating that the iPod Touch can NOT be charged with a cig.liter adapter (connected by a USB cord/plug.
I also found out, too late, that my new iTouch does NOT come with a wall plug adapter nor a cig.liter adapter, only the USB cord which limits one to charging by computer - not exactly ideal when you are on the road.
So, who is correct ? Can I charge a new 2012 4th Gen. iPod Touch with a cigarette lighter charger . . . or not ?
And who's idea was it to sell these rather expensive toys without a wall-plug adapter in the first place ? -
My iPad wont let me download any games
The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside in order to purchase iTunes content.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location. You can use the iTunes Store in all countries of which you’re a resident, but you’ll either need a separate iTunes Store account for each one, or you’ll need to continually be switching the billing information on your single account. Generally, it’s simpler just to set up an alternative account for these situations, although it’s worth nothing that features like iTunes in the CLoud and iTunes Match are designed to work best when using a single iTunes Store account, as you can only switch accounts with these services every 90 days."

Everytime I want to remote my itunes from my iphone, itunes search for radio-stream updates. I often use remote when I'm not connected to Internet so itunes tell me that I should connect because the radio-stream update can't be made. This is new since 10.5. Can I turn off the search for Radio-Stream or does someone else has an Idea how to fix the problem?
weird very weird. today i did this again today after already being unsuccessful earlier. exactly the same thing as i have done before, exactly. didn't try to import. didn't say damaged library, copied everything in including date. have tried it about 10 times no luck. today it just worked.
how weird is that?
oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
anyway, thank you for all the help.
to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.

I just got this 4th-gen Touch from a friend because she got a new 5th-gen. when she gave it to me, the 4th-gen was in perfect working order, and I haven't used it since she gave it to me. I had put it in sleep mode and put it on my dresser, wher it has sat without being messed with for two weeks. Now, all of a sudden, it won't power on, it won't charge no matter WHERE i plug it in to charge, and not even a hard reboot has worked. My computer will not even recognize that it is even plugged in. There is no red low battery symbol displayed, nothing to make it seem as if it is charging, and, if it is charging, no response is evoked from it when I tap it, or push any buttons. The warranty on the thing has expired, and I really need to find out what is wrong with it and get it fixed. Can ANYBODY HELP ME????????? if somebody can point me in the right direction, or even help me get it physically fixed, i am willing to give MAJOR points, and it would be greatly appreciated.
Didn't you already post something similar:
Yesterday, I went and bought a refurbished 3rd-generation iPod touch, with a warranty for needed repairs in the future. When I went home after buying it, I plugged it into my computer to start charging. I plugged it in, and the battery in the iPod exploded, and now it won't power on period, even when it is plugged in or docked. I bought a warranty to go with the iPod because I figured that I was probably going to drop it, and then need it repaired. But Apple cannot even find the purchase record on file from where I bought the AppleCare warranty on it, so now I am stuck with what is now basically a paperweight. What should I do?

i shifted from a windows to a mac.. I want to add songs to my ipod tpuch 4th gen.. but if i try to sync with itunes it says my songs will be replaced by the new songs.. Is there any way that i can have my previous data safe??
Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.
