Itunes tries to automatically update my ipod

Since I updated to itunes 7, I have been having a very hard time. Every time I plug in my ipod, which is filled with music from various CDs that have been uploaded to various computers but not my new one, CDs from the Music Library at school, and even recordings from my first recital, itunes tries to automatically update it! The settings on my ipod are set to manually update, so I don't know why this is happening. The worst thing is, the SECOND I plug it in, itunes starts saying at the top that it's updating my ipod's library. It doesn't give me a chance to change the preferences on this new version of itunes or anything!!!! So every time I plug it in, I see the message, I see the little bar getting closer to erasing everything from my ipod, and I flip out and pull it out of my computer. Which can't be good for it. There HAS to be a way to fix this. I can't believe that apple would actually design something so fundamentally stupid and flawed as this. Even if you know of a website where I can download an old version of itunes that doesn't do this, something, anything! Please help. I'm desperate.

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to check your settings in case they have defaulted back to automatic from manual: iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts for OSX

Itunes update and automatic update of ipod help needed

i just upgraded to the newest version of itunes (6.4?), and i deleted some songs out of my library and it gave me a message to the effect that next those files would be removed from my ipod next time i connected it.
i know in the previous version of itunes that i had, i had shut off the option that automatically updates your ipod when you plug it in, so i tried to find that option on here and was unable to, i think it might show up after i plug in my ipod, but obviously i dont want to plug in my ipod until i know it isnt going to get erased, anyone know if i can connect my ipod safely of if i need to change something, and if i need to change something where i would find that control. thanks in advance for any help

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
If at any stage iTunes brings up a dialogue window asking whether you want to replace the songs on your iPod with the songs in iTunes, press *No*.

I tried updating my iPod 5th gen to iOS 8 but it only shows me a picture of the iTunes logo and a charger at the bottom, I'm not sure what this means or what I need to do. Can someone please help me?

After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How can I update my iPod classic that will not mount on iMac computer?

I can't update my iPod classic from my iTunes on my iMac computer with OSX 10.9. It will not mount or be recognized by iTunes version 12.1.
I plug it into the USB port and it charges, gives the "Do not disconnect" symbol but the computer does not recognize or mount the iPod at all. I haven't been able to update the music for years. I have four other devices associated with my Apple ID for automatic downloads. Is it too antiquated to upload any of my music from my computer to it anymore?

Ahh! The plot thickens!
I went thru the console and read the error logs. It appears that the .ipsw file does load.....I think. It's been years since I spoke computer....
Here is what I got after double clicking the .ipsw file and iTunes opened:

After iOS 4 update on iPod Touch, iTunes crashes when iPod is connected.

I just updated my iPod from 3.1.3 to iOS 4, and after all of that, when I plug in my iPod Touch 2G [version 4.0 (8A293)] to my laptop, iTunes crashes. A window pops up saying "iTunes has stopped working," and then iTunes closes automatically. When I do not already have iTunes open and I connect my iPod, iTunes will open and then close a few seconds later with the same pop up box.
I tried seeing if it was a syncing or connecting issue, so I turned off automatic syncing and the problem still exists. Therefore, I think it is a connection issue.
*Note: When I was updating to iOS 4, I left and came back to my computer with it running on idle. Could that have had an effect? If so, how can I just redo everything?
**Another note that may be helpful is that while I do still have all of my music and videos in iTunes (which works totally fine with no iPod attached), the videos and music is NOT on my iPod. But, my apps all work fine on my iPod.
I would really appreciate any sort of help I could get for this problem. I was really looking forward to the OS update, but now I am disappointed because of this major problem.
THANK YOU for your help!

I would try moving the existing iPod backup file to a safe locations and let iTunes make a whole new one. The location of of the backup file is:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

My network is active but it says it's not when I go to update my iPod. How can I fix this?

My network connectivity is correct and active but it says it isn't when I go to update my iPod on my PC. It says that the iPod update server cannot be contacted because of this. How can I get my Network to work on my iTunes so I can update my iPod?

“When an Apple iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod) connects to a WiFi network, the first thing it does is make a request to the URL http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html.
The purpose of this request is to discover if there is a “captive portal” in the way. A captive portal is when, after connecting to the WiFi, any web request you makes gets redirected to a login/ToS page. In order to continue, you must either login with a username/password (or sign up, then login), and/or access the Terms of Service.”
So, it should automatically resolve your problem just after the update, however, if you are unlucky and are still having the same problem, you can follow the simple steps to fix this:
How to Fix Wi-Fi problem after iOS 6 upgrade :
Go to setting and tap on Wi-Fi and Turn it “On” and then “Off”
The second way is to set up the device’s HTTP Proxy to Auto: Go to “Settings” > “Wi-Fi” > Arrow Next to your Wi-Fi Network > scroll down and set it to auto.
That’s it! This will surely solve your problem.

Cant update my iPod - unknown error - need tecnical help!

I am using iTunes 7.0.2.16 (latest version), iPod 5th generation (software version 1.1.1), OS: Windows XP SP2.
The problem is that i cant automatically update my iPod firmware to 1.2 version. When i click to "Update" i get unknown error message (number 23). The error message is not contain information about cause of error, only that its "unknown".
I guess, its because my firmware is 1.1.1 and not 1.1.2 as its supposed to be, but i dont know.
So i hope, that you can help me to solve it without restoring my iPod (it will be big trouble with my 3000 songs..).
If someone knows where i can download 1.1.2 firmware to try with it first, pls give me the link.
Thanks for attention!

My Ipod/Itunes seems to have the same problem. Downloading other things doesn't seem to matter, but I can't download the update. It always says, could not connect to the iPod update server! It says to check my connection, but I'm obviously connected to the Internet...It does that when I try to restore, or update. Any thoughts?

I first couldn't update my iPod, now all the songs are gone!

Hey guys thanks for the time to help, but heres the story.
Okay, it first said "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists." So then i clicked on "Automatically update all songs and playlists" under preferences, and then a popup said "the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated. An unknown error -(36) occured." Okay, so i was struggling with this problem for a long time, i even went to the iPod store and they dont even know.
So then my friend told me to UPDATE my iTunes, so i updated it to iTunes v. 6. NOWWWWW, i plugged in my iPod and then the same thing happens... "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists." then all my songs on "admin's iPod" got erased!! So i click automatically update songs again and a NEW pop up comes up saying: "Songs on the iPod 'admin's iPod' cannot be updated. The disk cannot be read or written to." So now, not only can i not update my iPod, but all of the songs r erased.
So the question is... How can i transfer the songs from my "admin's iPod" folder on iTunes back to my iPod!!!!!???

Check these out.
Error 36.
Playlists no longer exist.

Can't update my ipod fully (new purchases?),from? my new laptop

I have recently purchased a new laptop. The original itunes music file was transferred to the new hard drive,on the new laptop, into its own separate folder,before installing itunes again. On installing itunes,the original files automatically transferred (albeit approx.50 files?) I am now having trouble
updating my ipod..new purchases are not being updated?
Can you help?

Is all the stuff that is on your ipod on your computer? If it is than you don't have to back it up. If not all of it is on your computer use this program http://www.copypod.net/ to transfer the songs from your ipod to your computer.

Error message when I try to update my iPod Touch 4G 5.0.1 to 5.1.1

I'm trying to update my iPod from the 5.0.1 version to 5.1.1 and always I get error messages (error # 9134). The same happens when I try to restore it too. Any of you know what happens?

This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

Play Count no longer updated from Ipod

After I updated the software on my Ipod, it no longer updates plays to the play count tally on Itunes when I update the Ipod. Formerly it did this automatically. Now only songs played on my computer go towards the play count tally. What gives?
HP Pavilion Windows XP

If you have changed the iPod updating method to Manual, then this is a normal event.
If not (you're still on 'automatic update', or 'update selected playlists'), then I don't have an easy answer.
You can try Resetting Your iPod to correct this problem. It may take several attempts.
If that does not solve the problem, then Restore Your iPod and reload the music back onto the iPod, from your iTunes.
