The problem is my iPod is jailbreaked and whenever I try to connect it to iTunes, it says : '' iTunes is unable to connect to this iPod because of an unknown error ( 0xe8000012 ) '' I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, i reinstalled it, restarted the iPod and tried but the problem doesn't seem to go.

ITunes could not connect to iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (-3212) - Does anyone know how to fix this?

iTunes could not connect to iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (-3212) - Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried alot of solutions and nothing seems to be working at all
Each time I try to connect to the iTunes store, this has popped up. I googled error (-3212) and also followed the steps on iTunes support. I downloaded the new itunes and chose "repair files" all to no prevail. I use iTunes on a daily basis and bought and iTunes card 2 weeks ago which I now cannot use. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just in case, let's try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

TS1424 iTunes could not connect to iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (-3237)

Can anyone help with the error message, "iTunes could not connect to iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (-3237).

I had a similar problem. We've had multiple iPods, an iPod and my wife's iPhone 4s that sync just fine with our PC. Unfortunately, I could not get my new iPhone 5 to sync with iTunes. I kept getting an error message similar to the one that you are getting.
I simply plugged the USB for the iPhone into different USB ports. I am certainly not a computer expert, but my understanding is that some of the PCs have different types of USB ports. Apparently, the USBs on the back of my Dell desktop won't allow me to sync the phone, but the USB port on the front works just fine.
I'm not sure if this is a fix for everyone, but it worked for me. Good luck!

Already tried FAQ, keep getting this message on iPhone and computer: iTunes could not connect to iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)

Only happened after I got a new iPhone *(upgraded from 4 to 5c) and I downloaded the iOS 8.1.2 update.
I've already tried everything on the FAQ page for this error, and nothing's worked yet.
Error looks like this iTunes on my computer: iTunes could not connect to iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)
Also won't connect on my iPhone after signing in.
Just changed my password so it's not that, and I've already restarted my iPhone twice.
PLEASE help. I just got an iPhone 5c and I want to download my old ring tones and alert tones!!!

This alert occurs when iTunes is trying to do something not allowed by the iTunes Store in that country.
The most common example of this is trying to sign in while limited to iTunes U by Parental Controls.

Why is my iPod not connecting to iTunes?

I have tried every USB port on my laptop and cannot seem to get my iPod to connect to iTunes so I can update the music on my idea. Any ideas?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

Computer Reformat: ipod not connecting to itunes

Computer recently went belly up, and all music I had is on ipod. Once reformated computer and reinstalled all software, ipod will not connect to computer ('safe to remove device" icon keeps popping in and out from toolbar). There has to be a simple way to move all music back to the computer without needing to restore ipod and losing everything, just to get everything in sync again, nes pas?

Ipod not connecting to iTunes but it is connecting to mac

Hi,
My Ipod classic stopped connecting to itunes a couple of days ago. I went and update itunes to the latest version and updated my mac to mavericks and it still is not connecting to itunes.
It appers on my desktop so I know it can connect to the mac and it will charge while connected. I also plugged in my ipad 2 and iphone and both of those can connect and sync with itunes. I used the same USB cable to do this too.
I have tired to just delete itunes and reinstall but I am not able to.

Hey there bxhonda,
It sounds like you are unable to see your iPod in iTunes, but you can see it on the desktop. I would use the following troubleshooting in the following article:
iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/#
Start with resetting your device. There are additional steps in the article to try if you need them:
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

ITunes No Longer Synching With iPods, Not Connecting with iTunes Store

iPods: both iPod touch, 2nd Generation, 8GB
iTunes: (Most Recent Version)
Issue:
For a while, the iPods of myself and a family member have not been able to synch our iPods with iTunes anymore: when plugged in, it only appears to charge, does not show up in "Devices", does not do anything. I've run Diagnostics several times, tried redownloading iTunes, & checked settings, etc.
Also, whenever I try to go into iTunes Store, it says that it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store", even if connection to the internet is fine.
These problems started occurring simultaneously, as well as out of no where. As I recall, I had no problem synching & going into iTunes Store the day before.

Ask your other family members if they did. Something has to have changed.
I am betting it's something on the PC, since two ipods going bad at the same time would be highly unlikely.
If you have auto updates turned on for Windows & security software, it might not even be obvious they occurred.
You can try restarting your modems/routers/and PC, in that order.

IPod not connecting to iTunes (Mac)

One of my iPod Touch devices starts up and suddenly says "iPod is disabled connect to iTunes". When I plug it into my Mac, it doesn't seem to connect and iTunes doesn't even see it. Help!

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
