I just got a Touch 32GB yesterday and ran into the same problem. I have two PCs in the house that I can sync my iPods on, but I normally use one that DOESN'T have an internet connection, so that the one that does is free for others to use ... a great argument and tension solution, btw.
Anyway, I hooked up the older "iTunes" PC to the net for a first-time sync with the Touch, and ran into this problem. First it kept detecting the Touch as an unidentified iPhone, then I couldn't sync my classic either. Then I found a post here about how when multiple USB ports running off same USB controller seem to screw with the Touch/iPhone syncing.
So I disconnected all but 2 of my USB 2.0 slots (the Touch & the Portable HD with my iTunes Library) and now it's working perfectly. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but it might be worth a try.

  • I have replaced my laptop and installed iTunes. When I try to sync my iPad or iPhone it says they are already linked to another iTunes library. How do I get back to my original library.

    I have replaced my laptop and installed iTunes. When iffy to sync my iPad or iPhone it says they are already linked to another iTunes library and will only let me transfer purchased items. How do I get back to my original library.

    Check out the solution found here.
    If you do a restore you will lose everything.  Some things will be backed up in iCloud but not everything.

  • I recently upgraded my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 to iOS 7.  Now the music in iTunes will not sync with either device.  Any thoughts?

    I have tried several times to restore the devices and that didn't work either.

    A bit more info for those of you reading this.... the problem seemed to be in iTunes. For each connected device , if I clicked on the Photo option I could no longer select the second radio button for limiting the photos by Events, Albums, etc.  It was an all or nothing deal. But selecting all would cause the error.
    So I had read the other forum posts about the "&" symbol being the cause of the problem.  I went through iPhoto and made all of the changes. It did not work. I then looked at iTunes, using the AlbumData2.xml file listed in the other forums as a reference.  I found one album with the "&". I edited that one.  Still would not work.  So then I spent 3 hours on the phone with AppleCare last week. I talked with 4 different advisors. None of them had heard about the "&" error from the forums. We tried everything in iPhoto including repair and rebuild.  Finally we created a whole new library and reimported my master photos from my original one.  Using this option would allow me to now check off that radio button in iTunes.  BUT... I now lost all of my albums and events and would need to rebuid them.  I was not happy. They agreed and we set up time to talk this week.
    So today I talked with AppleCare again. They now have more info and said the problem has to do with iTunes and the new iPhoto 9.4. It does not like the "&" symbol anywhere in either iPhoto or iTunes. So they now have me going through everything in my iTunes library. Genre is OK but any other item cannot have " & ". I have several dozen to edit and will do it over the weekend and then restore my original iPhoto Library and see if I can finally get it all to sync. I will let you know how I make out, but apparently you need to eliminate " & " from every entry in iTunes and iPhoto.
    Quality control is not up to par with Apple these days. 

  • Can i use the apple tv3 to connect a blu-ray player to the internet through the ethernet port?

    I Have a blu-ray player which can access teh internet but only through a wired connection. Unfortunately, do to some renovating a can't really pass a wire from my router to the player. I was thinking of getting the express base station and hooking up an ethernet cable and getting it to connect that wy. However, for just an extra 10$ i can get teh apple tv and started to wonder if it would do the same.
    Anybody know if i connect an an ethernet cable between my blu-ray player and apple tv3 if it will be able to connect to the internet?
    Thanks for you help!

    Your blu-ray play can't play to your AppleTV, neither using a wired connection or wi-fi.
    AppleTV only support compressed format.  Therefore, your AppleTV require your content to be within your iTunes library and on the supported format; http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
    There are however wireless devices on which you can plug an HDMI cable.  I don't know the price of such wireless devices but you'll find them on the net.

  • ToDo app not syncing with iCloud to iPad and iPhone

    I have the Appigo ToDo app on my ipad and was synching it successfuly with my Mac iCal reminders.  Prefering to use ToDo i have now installed it on my Mac and on my iPhone but it won't sych them together via the iCloud as promised.  Using the 'advanced' tab i managed to get all the info onto all three devices but when i change something on one device - its doesn't change on the others.  I have followed the instructions and repeated them - is there something i am missing?

    @geands - Did you ever get a fix?
    mine is the same after working fine for months - now they are all different! argh!
    have reset them all - even though I fear losing stuff.
    I'm going to try going back to a local network connection to sync - will keep you posted.

  • Getting this error when trying to run latest software update on MacBook Pro

    Everytime I try to run the update, it starts to download and then I get this error:
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1102.)(102)
    I'm not too sure what it means, or how to fix it. If someone could help me out, that would be great!
    Thanks!

    You might try this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Then download and install: OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo).

  • HT1414 I recently purchased three movies but two of them will not sync with my new ipad.  What should I do?

    I recently purchased three movies via ITunes on my computer.  I bought them to transfer to my new Ipad mini.  When I tried to sync them to the Ipad mini 1 worked and the other two did not.  How do I fix this without having to reset all the settings?

    Check in iTunes on the "Movies" tab while your iPad is syncing and make sure you have the correct sync options checked.
    Also, I assume you did in fact purchase (and not rent) the movies.  Rented movies have different rules - they can only be on one device at a time.

  • I have a BlackBerry and Microsoft Exchange Server.  How will I sync with my new iPad?

    I have a BlackBerry that is supported by a Microsoft Exchange Server so I can sync my BlackBerry and my laptop which is a PC.  How do I sync my Outlook info with my new iPad2 so all of my devices are connected?  Thank you.

    The setup , as was mentioned, is basically the same as a Wimndows Mobile device.  You need mail server name, your domain login and credentials  You will also need to check you wi-fi connection and be sure you can get rhough whatever enterprise proxy servers you might have. If you have 3g I would use that and not mess around with a proxied network, if that is an issue for you.
    One additional caveat....adding another mobile device significantly increases the complexity of your mail delivery system.  There are articles on the Microsoft kbase that talk about Outlook calendaring best practices.  Watch for calendar consistency issues.  You might consider running Outlook in online rather than cached mode, or at the minimum deleting and rebuilding your cache file.

    how to get the french track for the digital download from having purchased a DVD at the store

    Hi, pascalegadbois.
    Thank you for the question.  From your question it seems like you are looking to change the language setting for a movie downloaded via Digital Copy.  If this is the case, then the instructions below will walk you through how to adjust the language settings.  Also, depending on the region the video was downloaded, not all languages are supported.
