I cannot get Itunes to update my IPod.  I am at a loss

I am a seasoned IPod user. I just transitioned to a new PC and cannot get Itunes to update my Nano IPod. I have downloaded new versions of ITunes and updated my IPod software. ITunes sees the IPod but does not transfer any songs or playlists---help

What the user before me is trying to say pretty quickly is, Be sure that the settings in iTunes are set to update your iPod.
1) Plug in your ipod
2) Click the button with the ipod on it, about fourth from the right at the bottom (bottom right corner)
3) Manual (choice 3) is probably selected, Select automatically update all songs instead (choice 1).
Does this help? If not, let me know.

    Hi gnaksung, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It seems like you're trying to update iTunes 10 on your Mac, but the update options are not working.

  • Cannot get itunes to communicate with IPOD

    When i connect my ipod classic or shuffle i get the following message:-
    "The software required for communicating with the IPOd is not installed correctly.Please reinstal iTunes to install iPod's software."
    I have uninstalled and re-installed several times, tried selective startup, tried re-installing v7.6. But each case gives me the same message.
    Itunes worked before the 7.7 upgrade. I cannot understand why I get the same message on Itunes 7.6 now.
    Installed Itunes on my works computer and this recognises my IPOD's OK.

    Start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

    Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, (note: doesn't apply top shuffle) then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

  • Cannot get itunes+quicktime update to install

    The main problem is quicktime because everytime i try to install it, it keeps telling me that it cant find my F:\ drive. i don't have one and i never did. anytime i plug in a external drive it reads as an H:\ or an I:\. i tried uninstall the quicktime i had right now and install the new one it still wouldnt work. and now the quicktime is gone i cant even get on itunes.

    Excellent news.
    im not going to have to plug in this drive every time i need to update, am i?
    (Short answer) You should be fine next time.
    (Long answer) The issue happens because there's an entry for the existing version of iTunes in the installation database (for an iTunes file or registry entry) that references the drive that isn't there, and the fact that there's no drive there causes the Windows Installer Service to get excessively confused. But when we put the drive there and do the update, that gets rid of the mucked-up entries in the database. So the next time you do an update, fingers crossed none of the new entries in the database should be pointing at the F, and there shouldn't be any issues on the next install if the F doesn't happen to be there.

    Thanks for your reply. My Mac is running 10.5.8: it's 4 years old.  When I try to update the OS software, I'm told there are none available.
    Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade.  Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard).  However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
    Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit.  That's the dirference.

  • What happened is that my internet connection was not good so i downloaded .ipsw file from a torrent but now i cannot get it to update my ipad because ios 5.0.1 is out i tried copying files to ipad updates in the itunes folder but no help

    plz help

    If you downloaded the correct version for your iPad model (and the different models have different ipsw files), then you should be able to navigate to it in iTunes by pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button.

  • I recently purchased Windows 8 laptop and installed Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to the new PC, I got iTunes to import it and sync it to my iPod (3rd gen).  However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Contacts

    I recently purchased a Windows 8 laptop and istalled Office 2013.  I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to my new PC I got iTunes to import it, and then synced it to my iPod (3rd gen.) However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Calendar or Contacts with my iPod.  When I try it crashes Outlook.  iTunes continues to try to sync, but when it finishes my Calendar and Contents are empty (ERASED!).  I have de-installed and re-installed iTunes (according to Apple's instructions), repaired Office 2013 and Outlook, scanned for viruses (etc), cleaned out temp folders, defragmented, etc., etc., etc. Has anyone seen this before, and does anyone know houw to fix it?  (HELP!)

    Well, I guess I have to download some other software to make my apple product work. Really great stuff you guys sell. I will never buy another apple product. My Iphone, Ipod and Itunes are junk

  • Installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

    installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

    I was having major problems too. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/.   If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and  I  don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to  be  sure that it will work on your first try, use internet  explorer  when you download itunes. Hope this helps...

  • We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads.  The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized.  Tried everything.  Help!

    We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads.  The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized.  I've tried updating the software, reinstalling iTunes, using different ports on the laptop, different cables...just about everything.  I have NEVER been able to connect this one device, but all the others are fine.  I'm at my wits end.  Is there someone out there who can help a relative novice figure out what's going on?  Thanks so much!

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?
