I have an ipod touch that was set up on this computer. It is a mac. It hasn't had an update in a while and it needs an update to update apps and download new apps. It will not show up in itunes to get the update, nor will it let me update on the iPod. ???
I have an ipod touch that was set up on this computer. There are other ipods hooked up on this one, but this one won't work. it hasn't had an update in a while, and it won't let me update it because it won't connect to itunes, or show up on the computer. There is no place that says there is a software update on the ipod. I was wondering how to get it updated or at least get it connected to itunes?

I have an iPod touch that was given to me, so I don't know much about it. This is the first Apple product I've owned. The specs say it's an iOS 6.1.5
(Model# MC540LL/A) The iPod guide mentions Siri, but I can't find it in the Settings. Should I assume Siri isn't available on this model?
Also, can you tell me how old this iPod is, from the model #?it could be a 4th gen or lower, if the camera dosent stick out, then its a 4g,
however, it could be a 5g (the only model to have siri) it might of been disabled, to enable siri, you have to reset your ipod touch, then when it a says, use siri? tap use siri.
also if you mesure the screen and it is 3.5 inches then it is a 4g or lower and does not have siri. but the 4g has voice control and its offline, and siri cant be used offline.
i hope this helps. -
I'm unable to update my apps or download new apps to my Iphone. When I try I get a message "An unknown error has occurred". It was happening before and after the last OS upgrade. I've done a hard reboot with no effect. Any suggestions???
Have either of you had any luck with this issue. It began happening to me today when I was trying to purchase music on iTunes. I have purchased music and games in the past and have had no problem. Any help would be appreciated.

I was gave an Apple iPod Touch that was disabled and I called the Apple store and they emailed me how to fix it but now when i plug it up to the PC it's saying that the iPod is unable to be recognized and I don't know what to do?
Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps. -
I want to update my applications I keep on entering the password and it keeps asking me about it and again I enter it and nothing happens although it is correct I can download new apps but can't update the old ones
Then you will need the password for the old account in order to update the app.
apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase the app.

IPod Touch will not show up in iTunes...Please Help
Here is what I know/can remember. My iPod has not worked in 3 months! Not sure at what point it stopped but it worked fine for a year. Now when I plug it in it charges just fine just will not show up in iTunes. Sometimes it shows up as an unknown device on my computer and in the hardware device section shows up as unknown device. Thats all I got. I have tried all kinds of troubleshooting. I have took each little peice off and then reinstalled numerous times. I have even restored my computer back to square one. Still not working! I want to cry. I just want to listen to my podcasts again. They are downloading into Itunes just can't get the Ipod Touch to show up in iTunes...willing to try anything! Please help if you can! I have a 16GB and use XP with SP3. I assume all my hardware is good to go since it worked before and it charges through the USB port!
Welcome to the discussions,
here are some general troubleshooting tips to go through, maybe you missed one suggestion. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 They range from using the assistant up to USB driver installation, Apple Mobile Device Service and checking for available BIOS updates. -
As said in the question, my ipod touch will not connect to the newest version of itunes. When I plug it in, my compter recognizes that a device has been connected, yet it will not show up in itunes. I didn't have this problem until I just updated to the new itunes. Someone help please!

It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data -
Ipod touch will not show up in itunes after update 11.1.14.62
After updating iTunes to 11.1.14.62 my 3 of my 4 devices will not show up in iTunes. I have two iPod touch devices, an iPhone 4, and an old iPod Shuffle. The only one that shows up is the iPod Shuffle. Everything was fine until this latest update. I've checked with other people and they're having the same issue. I have Windows 8.1 64 bit.

TS3572 My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes
My 4th gen ipod shuffle will not show up in iTunes, and is not recognized by my computer. I am using a MacBook Pro purchased six months ago, with all software up to date. I am using the most recent version of iTunes,and the original factory connector. It does charge through the computer, but is not seen by the computer. I have gone through all of the recommened troubleshooting, and have verified that the connectors are plugged in properly.
Thanks for a reply
The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?
