I cannot update my ipod 3G (32 gb) NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS.

"iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the Internet.   Make sure your Internet connection is active and try again"
This has been the plight of new ipod. I bought an iPod 3G (32 gb) used. It hadnt been updated in quite sometime.
Prior to the 3G, I had an iPod 2nd gen (8 gb) on the same computer. I never had a problem with updating it.
I had jailbroken that iPod (2nd gen) with Green apple and some feature of that disabled updates. (This may be why I cant update)
But green apple is not, nor has it ever been, on my new iPod, soI think the problem lies elswhere.
I have quite literally tried everything.
My internet connection is more than fine, my ipod functions as it should, and I can connect to the itunes store.
It will not, however, connect to the update server.
Please help.

This was the only thing I couldn't try. This also leads to another problem of mine. I am running off of windows 7 and I am the profile on it. My profile is set to be the admin, but when I tired Resetting the hosts file, it denied me access, saying that I had to seek premissions from the computer's admin.

  • When updating to  itune 10.5 I get this error message ,older version of bonjour can not be removed, and older version of apple mobile support cannot be removed, any one know how to fix this.

    When updating to  itune 10.5 I get this error message ,older version of bonjour can not be removed, and older version of apple mobile support cannot be removed, any one know how to fix this.

    1) The older version of Bonjour can not be removed. Contact your technical support group.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

    Resolved!
    After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    And that did the trick.

  • I used to be able to open MAFF files but once I updated, they no longer work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    It says the Add On Compatibility Reporter no longer works and I think this might be the problem. When I click to open my MAFF file, it asks would i like to open it with Firefox, I click open and then another tab opens asking me the same question. What is wrong?

    i just updated to osx 10.9.2 on 3/5/2014 and i cannot send mail
    does anyone know how to fix this   (the smpt shows as off line - the certificate shows as none)

    i figured out a solution if anyone is having the same problem
    go to preferences in mail
    pick the mail account that is not sending
    if your outgoing mail server states it offline as mine did
    click the dropdown  and than click edit smtp 
    a window will come up that says account information and advanced
    click advanced
    renter your password and ok
    restart your computer - when it restarts it will send emails

    I updated my iphone to OS 5.0.1 and i can not add events to my iphone calendar- does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    I updated today to the 5.0.1 and now when I try to sync to ITunes, it doesn't recognize my phone and an error message comes up saying that "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.'  What does this mean?  Never mind - I found an article in the Support about this very thing!  Thanks!

  • My ipod is recognized in windows but not in itunes. I ran the troubleshooter and followed all of the steps to fix it....itunes still does not recognize my ipod.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    My ipod is recognized in windows but not in itunes. It shows up in devices and gives me the ok to eject prompt, so I know that the connection is good. I ran the troubleshooter and did all the recommended fixes.  Hours and hours later, I still have the same problem. I uninstalled itunes and all its folders, restarted the apple device services and changed the drive letter. Checked my security settings and everything else I can think of. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Did you remove all Apple related software including QuickTime, Safari, Software Update utility for Windows, etc using the exact instructions in this Apple support document?
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port and not a USB or similar?  Have you tried different cables to help rule out a faulty or damaged cable? 
    Does it connect to iTunes okay on another PC or Mac?

    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

    Hi Apple_Mom,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've noticed issues after updating to iOS 7.0.2, you may want to first update to iOS 7.0.3 which was recently released.

  • I'm having a problem updating the iTunes software. Receiving "invalid signature". Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi Everyone,
    I have been trying to update iTunes, Safari, and Quicktime. Keep receiving "invalid signature" and then it removes the attempted download. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I have had this happen as well. What I had to do was sync the iPod to remove the album and the resync the album back to the Classic. I've had this happen with my iPhones as well. Must be a bug in either the current OS or iTunes versions.

  • When I connect my iPod nano 7th gen. to my computer and open itunes, there is a message that says the iPod could not be detected. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

    When I connect my iPod nano 7th gen. to my computer and open itunes, there is a message that says the iPod could not be detected. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
