Disable your firewall, then try it again.
If that doesn't work, disable your antivirus as well.

Hello, waynemclno1.
Thank you for the question. Try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot your iPod touch not being recognized in iTunes. I would recommend seeing the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.

Try

New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

TS1702 i cant get my apps to update on my iphone 4s , it keeps saying waiting then loading then it goes back to waiting ... and ive already pwr off an on

cant get my apps to update ... it keeps saying waiting then loading then waiting again ,,..ive already pwr off an on multiple times and i dont want to uninstall and reinstall because ill loose my status on my game apps

Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Also, make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

It obviously depends on what Mac you have.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

I cant get my computer to update the os x software

i need help!!! i cant get my software to update anymore. and now i need to update to a newer version of os x (10.5) but i cant get my computer to do it. can anyone help me?!!!!

OS X 10.4.x won't update to 10.5
10.5 won't update to 10.6
and 10.6 won't update to 10.7
Not without paying for it and meeting the hardware requirements.
Please tell us your hardware so we can tell you how far you can go.
Sometimes older versions of OS X are no longer supported even though the computer still works perfectly fine.
You might have to accept what you got or buy a new machine and use the older one for something else that doesn't need to be updated anymore.

Cant get my ipod clasic to show up on itunes

cant get my ipod clasic to show up on itunes

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

I've forgotten my passcode and when trying to restore it I get "The iPod software update server could not be contacted"

I recently had my iPhone taken away from over-use so I thought I'd just use my iPod I haven't used in forever, when turning it on it said locked for 21 million minutes, so I checked out few videos, fix it on iTunes, and when I could access my iPod, my mind went complelty blank, so I checked out so more videos on what to do when fogetting your passcode, and I found you had to restore your iPod, which was fine by me because, I have maybe an app or two on it, so wiping everything out wouldn't be anything.. But, when I go to restore my iPod I get, like in the title, "The iPod software update server could not be contacted" any ideas on what to do?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

How can I get my iPod to update when it says the server cannot be connected?

Whenever I try to update my iPod it says, "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." It does this every time. How can I get it to update? Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Update Server

- Powering off and then back on your router.

- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Still cant get my ipod to work...

My earlier post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=971361
I still cannot get it to work, I have tried everything. I have reset and restored my ipod multiple times. Thinking about sending it back soon. I get that same error every time I try and put music on my ipod, sometimes it works...and sometimes it wont. Sometimes I cant get a certain song to go on, and then another time it will.
All my music was on my computer before I had my ipod. It was all either from cds or downloaded. A friend has also sent me tons of music that works on his ipod fine.
I have always used Winamp to listen to my music, and still do. Could that have anything to do with it? Or made it another format?
Very annoying, anyone have any clues?
Windows XP Pro

Did you read the link that StarDeb55 provided? It sounds like a local disk problem. Can the Windows Defrag utility run with out errors? Is your music library shared? i.e. Do multiple applications use the files. Like say Windows Media Player and iTunes. If so the other program(s) may be locking the file(s) preventing iTunes from coping it.
P.S. If you are new to forums creating duplicate threads is generally considered a no-no and makes it less likely that people will respond to your post.
