IPod at ver. 7 and iTunes at 6

I had to revert back to iTunes 6 as iTunes 7 kept locking up on me. I still have all my music, but now I can't sync my iPod. Says something about iPod at earlier software level.
How can I get my iPod to the same verion as my iTunes?

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

    Did you try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • My ipod wont start and itunes wont recodnize it, what happened and how do i fix it?

    I recently went to: settings, general, reset, and erase all data and settings, now my ipod wont start and itunes wont recodnize it, what happened and how do i fix it?

    - After being connected to a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod and then connect to your computer and it if appears in iTunes restore the iPod via iTunes.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next see if recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • I have an ipod touch 4g and itunes 10.5 but everytime i try updating my itouch to ios5 it comes up with error 3194

    I have an ipod touch 4g and itunes 10.5 but everytime i try updating my itouch to ios5 it comes up with error 3194
    please help   thank you

    What was the complete wording of the error message?
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Touch 4G and iTunes 10.2.2 sync issues on mac?

    Hey,
    I recently purchased an iPod Touch 4G 32GB as a replacement for my iPod Touch 2G 8GB, I plugged it into iTunes on the first boot up of the iPod, like normal, and expected to be presented with the usual set of prompts about how I would like to set up my iPod. However, the iPod appeared in the sidebar, but nothing happened to the main portion of the program, and upon unplugging the iPod, iTunes simply crashed, and I was presented with an error message. I put the iPod into DFU mode, and tried a manual restore, then had to restore from a separate firmware file I downloaded for 4.3.2.
    I assume from the failure of all of these methods, there must be some sort of problem with iTunes 10.2.2 for Mac and iOS 4.3.2 for iPod Touch 4G. In the end, i managed to get the iPod operational on my PC in an older version of iTunes, however, it still does not sync properly, and if I try to sync movies to the iPod, iTunes crashs like it did before. Is there a known fix for this problem? Or have I got a faulty device? Also, the sync messages are all distorted.
    Thanks!

  • Ipod freezes computer and itunes and has corrupt songs

    Hi,
    a while back I was having problems with my 160gb IPod classic. Every time I plugged it in the entire computer, and iTunes would freeze.
    This ended with a trip to the Apple store and after a lengthy session, the iPod was restored to factory settings. (The guys had a lot of trouble doing this, didn't seem an easy process)
    Recently I plugged the iPod in (Windows 8) and added a few more albums.
    Later on when playing the iPod on my dock, I noticed a lot of the CDs were missing, completely erased. I had heard of a bug on iTunes which removes CDs that haven't been bought via iTunes, but seems strange as NONE of my albums were bought from iTunes.
    I've also noticed that songs appear to be corrupted on some albums. They begin to play, stop, then skip to the next playable song, skipping over the ones that won't play.
    Problem is that when I plug it into my HP laptop, it freezes until it is unplugged again. Same with iTunes, it wont respond while the iPod is plugged in.
    The computer registers it as a removable drive but says it is full. Device manager recognises it and says it is working ok and has the latest driver etc.
    What I want to do it restore it to factory settings but I just can't do it via iTunes and the computer doesn't give me the option as it's not recognisable in 'My Computer' as an iPod.
    Can't take it into the store again as the warranty has expired.
    There must be a way to return it to factory settings, if not manually without a computer, than maybe via device manager?
    I'm not too up on the technical side of things so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Peter.

    Eventually managed to restore to factory settings.
    Anyone heard about that ITunes 'bug/virus' or is it just scaremongering?

  • Updater "ipod service error" and itunes "reinstall itunes"

    I got my ipod exchanged just recently from a regular 20gb iPod to a color/photo ipod. I downloaded the newest iPod updater and the newest iTunes. I go into the updater program and a message comes up saying "iPod Service error". When i plugged in my unit to my computer, iTunes shows a message "the software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod software.
    Here's the problem. I went to Apple's online help and went through all the possible solutions it had (reinstall iTunes, Disable conflicting system services and startup items, disable conflicting system services and startup items and reinstall, resintall the COM interface for the iPod service) and none of them worked.
    What do i do? because I've spent the whole week trying to figure out what's going on. I've repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled both the updater and iTunes. Anyone have any answer to this?

    It might be a total pain, but you might do best if you call Apple Support if you can... Hopefully you didn't get a bad 'Pod.

  • Corrupted iPod... and iTunes won't let me restore

    Because of an interrupted sync, my iPod is not being recognized by my Mac, or rather, iTunes tells me that my iPod is "corrupted" and needs to be restored. But when I try to restore it, iTunes tells me that it can't complete the operation because the iPod is "busy". Help!

    Type "unable to restore" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the resulting help articles.

  • Ipod Nano 5G and Itunes 10

    I have ipod nano 5g and i have itunes 10 but when i open itunes nd appsore i dont see any ipod nano 5g(so to click wheel games ) and other stuff specific to 5g.
    A simple filter in itunes store for the apple device a person using is a bit of common sense which apple seems to lack(not just for iphone/ipad).

  • Odd problem with iPod 5G 30G and iTunes 8...

    It freezes when I plug in my iPod.
    I've tried with my friend's iPod Nano (newest) and my iPod touch 8G and it works properly...
    But iTunes freezes when I connect my iPod 5G 30G on Windows Vista.
    Funny thing (annoying) is that it (my iPod) works properly in another laptop with Windows XP and iTunes 7...
    So it seems something is wrong with the last update... Because it used to work...
    Any solution to this...? Do I have to borrow my friend's laptop to change the music of my iPod or install something like Rockbox ...or even iTunes 7?
    Does it means I have to buy a new model to keep compatibilities with the software?
    Thanks in advance for the info.

    Nothing?
    Isn't this the support forum?
    I must be doing something wrong...
    Guess I'll go and ask the scene...
    Thanks anyway
    ... let me see... apple.com... support... yes... odd thing... :/

  • Daughters ipod is disabled and itunes can't access due to passcode

  • Ipod not syncing and itunes says to reinstall newest version of itunes, when it already is?

    My itunes works fine, but when I went to sync my ipod touch (2nd and 4th gen) a window pops up  that says "this ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64-bit itunes." BUT THIS IS THE VERSION OF ITUNES I ALREADY HAVE!!! i have the 64-bit already installed so why would i need to install it again? ive also read that for other people that did not help. any tips? please

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • AirPlay mirroring with iPod Touch 4g and iTunes

    Can I use AirPlay on iOS 6.1.5 ( iPod touch 4g ) to iTunes 11 ( Windows XP )?

  • I plug in my iPod 4th Generation and iTunes 10.5 will not recognize that the device is plugged in. Why does this occur?

  • Ipod touch 4 and iTunes are not Friends

    I have a gen 4 iPod touch (64 gig), and for some reason, all of a sudden and without warning it will not back up or properly sync to iTunes.  I can’t determine if the problem is the iPod or the computer.
    I have a Gateway laptop running Windows 7 as the o/s.  I have completed virus checks and malware checks with no issues. 
    When the iPod is not connected and I start iTunes it will not load the iStore (no error message), but everything will function.  Once I connect my iPod it’s like everything goes into slow motion, and the sync times out.  I am running iTunes 10.5.1.  The iPod is on the previous version, but cannot update it because it times out.
    I have tried to uninstall iTunes (and all apple software) and re-install it.  I have even tried to install iTunes 10.3.1 and try to sync it, but I get a prompt that the library is of a newer version and is not compatible.
    I have tried to reset the iPod to its original settings without any true success. 
    For some reason and this may sound crazy, but once I uninstalled iTunes it seemed to me that my whole computer increased in speed.
    I would say that maybe the problem was a firewall issue, but I run AVG freeware (and the standard Windows security) and I do not see any sections with a list of software that has connection limitations.
    Any thoughts?

    Ok, I have determined that it is iTunes and not the device, because I connected an iPad to iTunes with the same reaction.  This in combination with the fact that iTunes will not bring up the iStore with or without a device attached.
    I have turned off the AVG, and the O/S security to see if that might free the connection but it proved ineffectual.
    I have tried uninstalling all Apple products again and reinstalling but this has not worked either.
    Is there anything I have not tried?  I would hate to have to format…
