    It sounds like you need to set it up, and that makes sense because you said that its a new iPod. Just go through the steps of setting up a new iPod and you should be good.

  • I am unable to get itunes to run on my powerbook g4. Please help!

    My sister gave me her old powerbook g4. She erased the hard drive and relaoded the software. I cant get itunes to open or run. It said i needed quicktime so I downlaoded it from the apple site but it still will not run. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a different download that I need? Please help. I am new to apple computers so please be paitcent with me.

    Your computer may need a series of updates to bring it up to speed with the last versions of software supported by 10.4  Note that these will themselves be several years old since Apple hasn't supported Tiger for several years.  In particular you cannot upgrade to the newest iTunes or use any brand new i-devices on a computer running 10.4
    One way to do updates is to run Software Update.  Do the updates one by one since trying to do many at one time often results in problems.  Use Disk Utility to repair permissions before and after.
    For general Tiger update questions I suggest you post on the Tiger 10.4 forum.  As for iTunes, the newest version you can run is 9.2.1 available at
    iTunes 9.2.1 (the newest that will run under Tiger) - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1056

  • Can't get itunes to sync with ipod touch or even recognize it is connected

    We cannot get a ipod touch or iphone 3g to sync with itunes. We have a ipod nano that synced fine. They are charging, but itunes does not recognize them at all.
    Looking for places to start.
    Thanks

    Ok, ran updates, found 3 new updates and after this was done all was well again. Still not sure why it only affected the touch and iphone, but guess i don't need to LOL.

  • Getting itune purchases on to ipod touch

    Hi heres my poser.
    I originally set up my ipod touch om my works pc and purchase few things of itunes store ...no problems.
    I know want to use the pc at home.
    I thought i registered the device on my home pc.
    when I know bring up itunes i get the library set up for my ipod shuffle.
    so a movie i purchase is nowon that library.
    when i try and synch the ipod touch with this nothing happens.
    any ideas please?
    thank you

    iPods don't like being synced to two computers. Pick one as your default, always sync on system. On the other system (I guess this would be the work computer), go into iTunes and de-authorize that computer. You can transfer your library to a portable hard drive, memory stick, or DVD(s) and import them on your new computer.
    On the new computer, you need to authorize it and then resync your iPod.

  • HT1339 I can't get iTunes to recognize my iPod touch. Should I completely erase it ?

    I erased my iPod Touch 2G and restored it. I'm using a Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7.4
    I synched my music library in iTunes (so far so good)!!! Then I purchased an App from the iTunes store. The next thing I knew all my songs(538) and videos vanished. When I tried to restore the iPod, iTunes would not recognize the device. I've tried everything, what can I do ?  Erase all the contents ?  HELP !!!!!!!!!

  • ITunes deletes everything from iPod Touch when I try to sync.

    This has happened to me five times now, and I am incredibly frustrated. When I start to sync my iPod Touch with iTunes, instead of actually syncing it deletes everything from my iPod (music, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.; apps and other data aren't deleted). I have over 30gb of audio on my iPod, so it takes longer than 12 hours to get everything synced back up again. This first happened to me right after I upgraded to iOS 6, so I thought it was just a bug, but it has happened four times since, and three times in the last four days. I did a factory restore of my iPod last night and then synced it all night, and then iTunes just erased everything off again when I was syncing it again this evening.
    Moreover, when I attempt to sync again to get my music back, iTunes only transfers some of my library. And each time I cancel the sync and restart it, the number of songs transferred over decreases. Sometimes soft resetting the iPod fixes this problem and allows the entire library to sync, but last time that wouldn't do the trick, which is why I tried the factory reset. It's still happening though, as I'm trying to sync right now and it's only showing 1500 of my 8000 tracks.
    I have an iPod Touch 4G running iOS 6 and am running iTunes on Windows 7 32-bit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a similar problem with my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 (Win7 64bit). When the first beta of iOS came out, I used the restore trick to load it on my phone without a developer license. I knew what I was getting into. This problem happened about 4-5 times through the various beta releases. When iOS was released to the public, it would not let me upgrade to it, so I had to DFU my phone to get it on the final release and restore a backup. Fine, but now I was on the official release. The problem has occurred twice now since then.
    I sync my phone daily as I have a lot of playlists that use the "Last Played Date" attribute. I will sync my phone and the next time I go to play a song, all my music is gone. It is very intermittent. To fix, I have to uncheck all my playlists in iTunes, sync. Then recheck my playlists and have it readd. Like OP, I have 35-40GB of music, so it takes a long time to have to re-add everything.
    I originally attributed this to a bug in the beta so I dealt with it. Now that I'm getting the error on the final release, its a bit more annoying. My wife has a 4S as well (Vista 32bit) and she has not had this issue.

    You need to reload a compatible version from the iTunes library on your computer. If you didn't keep a copy of that, no.
